Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next version coming out?
When it's done. I've tried several times to make estimates for ETAs on the previous updates but they've all been terribly wrong. Because of this I've adopted stance of not giving ETAs to anyone. If someone says they know the release date, they're wrong. This is about practicality and stress management for me, so I'd rather keep things this way.

How much is done for the next version?
I don't know. If I knew, I could predict ETAs. Tasks vary in difficulty and my available time to work on them varies as well.

Can you show a preview from the next update?
Yes and no. I will only give out previews/teasers for content unrelated to the story or the characters, which includes code/UI/other improvements.

Why don't you do content previews?
I don't like giving out spoilers of any kind.

Is there going to be a way to increase our attributes and stats?
No. The character attributes act the same way as the player character's sex, they create a character with definition that reacts with the world in a believable way. A player tweaking their character's attributes actually means they lose definition as a character. You can improve your ability to fight by learning new combat cards and acquiring new equipment, but the base attributes will remain unchanged.

Is there going to be more gay/lesbian/etc content?
Yes.

Is there going to be more feral content?
Yes.

Will *character here* get more content?
If the character's story/arc feels unfinished it probably is, and more is on the way. Note that some characters will get less content than others because I simply cannot consistently update all characters as I keep adding them.

Will you make *fetish here* content?
I do not approach writing from the starting position of including specific sexual acts or fetishes. I am unlikely to cater to specific fetishes other than xenophilia. Possible contributor content might include specific fetishes but I curate contributor content the same way as my own content, so characters that act as simple fetish content dispensers are unlikely be included.

Will pregnancy be part of gameplay/mechanics?
No. Pregnancy is a story/writing thing if and when it happens. Depending on the specific circumstances of the pregnancy it might mean that the story has reached an ending for that player character.

Can you make *character here* gay/hetero/bi/other content?
The characters in the game have their own sexual preferences and I am not inclined to change/tweak those if requested by anyone for whatever reason.

What does the sock tree mean?
Stop messing with the sock.

  2. There once was a sock on a tree,
    it glistered with magic and pee.
    Yes, somebody peed on the sock,
    it must've been an old stupid jock.

    The first rule of socking a tree,
    is to hold back your own pee.
    Secondly you have to beep,
    so that he knows when to sleep.

    He is of course the Old God,
    bringing the trees and the flood.

  5. Since my comment never got thru before, why not release smaller updates, with less content?
    You know, help keep the game alive, not fall on page 9-900 on most websites, maybe even get some play test feed back.

  6. If permanent stat upgrades are not happening will we at least get temporary ones (EG perfume/pheromones that temporarily buffs CHA) and alternate options to unlock scenes that are currently locked behind certain stats (EG having specific item, or knowledge)? Really not a fan of forcing multiple play-throughs to unlock all scenes.

  7. Actually, another seemingly obvious question, any plans to start a discord?

  8. Hey, I just wanted to say I've just played your game for ~5 hours and I loved it. Each character feels real. I love how they all truly look like creatures with their own biology and other rules instead of decorated humans. Your work is one of a kind, maybe the only one of its kind. I really appreciate it

  11. Okay so idk if youll read this but i dont know where to voice my opinions on this (also i apolegize for my grammar).

    Firt off I love the game! You can really tell that there is a lot of love and hard work that went in to it. That said i fell like there is a lot of room for immprovement. from minor things like having the opition to navigate dialouge options with your keyboard and accsessing your stats and inventory at anytime (not just from the world map), to more major changes like having to manually heal yourself after battle, being able to level up and change your stats in some way (maybe by the use of items or weapons), maybe a potion that boosts your will for 3 days.. or something simmilar. the major problem i see with your game right now is that if i wish to romance someone i would have to reset, and change my stats to accomidate, which tends to rob me of my time when i have to burn through the dialouge, so i can get to the point i want. A better solution would be to have some way to change your stats "in game". Not completley, just minor changes that if a player out in the work it coul open up otions for them. Like missing one point in strenght to experience a characters romance scene really makes me agitated that i have to restart the whole game. The writing and art is very good. Im not an expert at visual novels and i can see a few rough edges here and there, but i feel that with enough polish and time it could tottaly be something breathtaking. So mostly just add some gameplay elements that would make life easier. I would love to disscus more if anyone wants. just hit me up. Hopefully you see this!
