52 days ago was his last update that was back in August, in the last update he mentions that he plans to release a test in September which was last month so since there was hurricanes and stuff like that recently I'm wondering if the guy's okay has any of his testers heard back from him since that last post?
His last patreon post was on September 30th and while I can't see all of it, the first line says he underestimated the amount of scenes he had to do for the coming update.
What titles exactly? Also Maxing Cat Person requires Lani to be at or above level 100 at death. I don't think it's actually possible to get right now, but if you were to go for it, you'd have to grind the hardest dungeon for ages.
Hey my friend i am very big fan of your creation, i would like to suggest 3 titles for the next update, not much for the effect of them but for the text that comes with them which i find interesting, with this i think we would have 35 titles in total which you could make another talk when they just get to know how much we have, First title is lvl 1 RESILIENT MIND or something u get this title after training when you train after your brain cant get anymore intellect because its tired this would affect the rest of intellect allowing you to get more rest every time u dont train it for the day, RESILIENT BODY lvl 1 this would be the same but for body trainings, Last one, every adventure, mission dungeon you go without using any potion will activate this title REGENERATION, you will heal a small amount of hp after every battle, the evolved should be like IMMORTAL or something thank you cucumber i love your game.
The version under dev right now has a hint system in place for most events (and a rewatch system for events as well). As for game pacing, I'm toying with ways to help lower grind, but I've not finalized anything yet.
I'm unfortunately on a semi-break while my kids are home for summer (I'm a stay-at-home parent), but I'll be back to working on the game in a few weeks. New version should drop at the beginning of September.
This is one of few games where I didn't mind the grind. I actually found it rewarding as you gain more and more and can do things you couldn't in previous lives. Also compelling as it pushes you to go futher in each life to see what you can unlock for the next one. The continuous rebirth system is Awesome 👌. You actually feel the small differences that make your grind feel worth it. I played non stop for about a month straight on the last update.
The chicken dinner banner doesn't seem to be working... Unless all banners are active the moment you get them and it's not the current one equipped in your room that matter... If that is the case I may have missed something
I tried it on the alchemist when you're chasing those Firefly's (15 points) and without it also got (15 points), I tried with the training at the tree dumbbells... And where it just shows Marla also only offered (15 points)
So it's not "Doubling" anything (at least in the message to players) about to check to see if it really is behind the scenes... And according to stats (Before using chicken dinner) completed task and checked stats, and after Chicken Diner is Equip (During using chicken dinner) completed task and compared this stat to the non banner version with the same result.
Even though it says self study can Not Fail...("100% chance of success")
Reward for "Study Fail"
Reward for self study success
So assuming studying with Mom is considered a success on this run success is equal to 24 points..
20% more would be 28.8 (round up to get 29 points) still less then the 32 given for successful self study.
However
8 is 1/3 not "100%" of a failed attempt so you might want to check what's going on here and see if it's a problem with the code or something you decided to not correct (whether in wording or math) and maybe more importantly why none of your Alpha or Beta testers, bothered to bring this to your attention.
I know this is an old message but since no-one else seems to have responded I figured I would give my interpretation of what is happening here. I believe the part that says you have 100% chance of success and 20% chance of great success means you have 100% chance of receiving a reward and 20% chance of a higher reward. Basically the results that say you failed at studying are still considered a success because they still awarded points and the results where you successfully study are the great successes that happen 20% of the time. As for studying with Mom, that is a separate activity with a separate reward. Basically you have the choice to study with Mom and get a consistent reward or study alone and probably get a lower reward but have a chance at (or use exploits to guarantee) a higher reward.
For the record (I know I point out a lot of "bad things" wrong in the game) however that is only because I enjoy the game enough to pay attention to the details of the work you put into it... How else would I even notice the things like an outfit change or a contradiction so I don't want you thinking that I'm just here to complain (the reason I offered to be a tester for you is also due to my enjoyment). I have 3 different "Games" I saved one where I leveled everything quickly, One where I tried to level the guild, the church and the Gods first and one where I tested the Sneak.
As an example despite being able to wake Lani up by sneaking into her room (On one play through sneak with 100 points only because of the kitchen scene) I could still sneak into the tent for "Night Watch" without it bothering her at all? That seems a big contradiction to me me being near wakes her up but me being involved with certain acts doesn't (trying to be as spoiler free as possible)
Just a heads up you do have a major contradiction in the game. With the upgraded tent Liam ask Lani if she wants to sleep with him after the first set of interactions at the tent and before he takes over saying there is a warding stone.
But in one of the scenes talking to her he says basically the one they have has no such feature
Random thought you could have the second scheduled death be by Miri. She decides to kill Liam to protect Lani... The first time she tries is a definite kill and then (lowers the chance the higher your Cat Lover Title is) or you can have Leim have flashes that she will kill him after the first time so that the next time you know she's going to be there so you can either
After all she did say this (meaning she at least considered it, maybe she decided it was best after talking to Liam because he wouldn't just back off.)
A)Yell for Dad
B)Yell for Mom
C)Yell for Lani
D)Man up and fight her yourself of course she'd have to be at least level 60 so she could still kill you easily unless you had the GH or GS title (Titles from dad or mom)
If you pick Dad he grabs her by the scruff of her neck, Mom grabs her in a hug (Causing Miri to "melt" into her arms)
Lani who is asked if she is willing to leave willingly if she's close to MC she refuses if not she either goes (setting up a potential reason for MC to visit Magic Academy) or ask for time to think about it.
The reason I kept going for the top option at the guild
20 guild points for 1 day, 25 for 2 days and 75 for 10 days
20x2=40, 20x10=200 add to that on days that you camp out you can't raise stats like (dad strength, endurance or strength, endurance and agility) or (mom or self study for intelligence) means a lot of missing stats to me the money wasn't worth missing out on all of that.
By death 3 I could end up with rank 5 or 6 merchant and by death 4 I can have Penny Pincher...
At rank 3 I can Sell potions for what I pay for them. At that point buy all I can (After selling everything I own, sell them, buy again, wash, rinse repeat) and save (to see progress) die see how far it ranks up, reload if not maxed, or continue playing if it is.
So... i never expected anyone to only do the first mission for that long. The first mission unlocks the second mission, and the second unlocks missions of the appropriate guild level.
To be honest I had leveled the guild up to level 10 (the church too) hoping for some new title or a title upgrade (like Devout X) and well since the 1 mission gives 20 guild points and the second (using "2 days") only gives 25 I figured I level faster doing the top onen the others so I'll just keep doing them.
Also I like trying things that I feel aren't really expected (as an example on Fallout 76) I figured out that the official wiki was wrong about brotherhood and secret service jetpack (You can negate all fall damage if it's used correctly, versus it not reducing fall damage as stated by the wiki)
I'm also the one that figured out a glitch with the jet pack (which was recently patched) resulting in extra hight and duration of flight time requiring eating (cannibal perk) an enemy while sitting in a chair and having the jetpack on.
So honestly when I play games like yours I try pretty much anything and everything just to see what has been accounted for. Btw speaking of which nice block on the first time you try to eat the rooster making sure that is blocked until the upgraded title was smart. Though, couldn't you have just as easily used the MC's Fear to get him to say something like I ain't touching it, let's just let dad deal with it? Though the first time through with no fear title, It could have been left in and he could have choked on a chicken bone (which could have been a possibile cause of being afraid of the chicken) and it would discourage people from trying to eat it until the upgraded title. Either way MC losses to the chicken and gains a fear and since it wouldn't be expected by the people who had played once through them they might think, hey I'll just eat it on day one. I also like how you future blocked people from visiting the goddess of time's home that was funny I tried 4 times to see what more she might say. Only thing funnier (IMHO) Would have been if she would have "forgotten" to reset the system and he got in again. I do appreciate all of the work you put into this game even if you don't use any of my suggestions it's nice to know that you do reply to the messages. Keep up the great work. Still wish you'd let me help test it (after all I have found a couple things even your testers missed)
Blacksmith... Is it going to be a thing or was that just mentioned as an example for that world? I'd love to have the option of crafting magic weapons and armor, imagine Mom and Dad freaking out over a legendary grade sword their son creates...
I'd like to, but it's not even on the planning board. Right now, equipment is barely even a part of the game, really... it needs love, but it's also not incredibly impactful, so the priority is low.
Yeah... I should probably revisit that stuff. So the sequence was put it before a lot of leveling was possible. It unlocks at like Lani lvl 2 or 3, then Martin gives you a warning about Miri, then once you level up some more, she arrives. At the time, the only monsters were basic wolves, so leveling took a while, which is no longer the case.
The Shrine Token will unlock the second story dungeon (under the potion shop), but it's not ready. The town dungeon is what will progress the story for the princess.
Both patreon and itch have feature parity (the difference is release priority). The option to purchase clothes at the shop is currently limited only to Lani's lingerie, so if you already have that, there won't be any option to purchase additional clothes. I have additional clothing purchases on my work list for this release "if I have time", and I don't think I'll have time. It will probably need to wait until after this next one.
Pretty sure I know the answer, however I thought I'd get the official word from the Developer.
I decided hey I'm going to try something new, so I totally ignored Lani and I focused on Marla.
No more cuddle time, after a LONG while there was a scene where Lani gives advice, followed by meeting up at the library.
However nothing between "us" happens after that (I know it is mentioned that the conversation is "saved and meant to be used in a future update" however I'm still banned from cuddle time.
I know that if I did enough Lani stuff eventually we would come together, getting closer together.
But I was kinda hoping that Lani would suggest MC being included in cuddle time again for the sake of Marla. After all in the other games she mentions that she actually fell in love with MC before they even formed a party.
And that spending more time with the MC only deepened the feelings. Meaning there would be 2 ways to possibly end with with Lani, one of them the "Normal Way" and the other a simi more traditional way (talking, going on dates, taking walks, sleeping under the tree), might also be fun to see Lani acting more cat like in some cases (such as preferring to be naked outside, and being scolded for doing so by Luna. Maybe even using it to either embarrass or judge MC reaction to her body.
Though there is another scene you might want to change up, the dungeon fountain, after all of MC and Lani are actively having sex it makes no sense whatsoever to have her tell him to "Turn around and No Peeking" shouldn't they be in that fountain together at least playing...
If you did that then you could also have at least 4 versions of the fountain scene for the "succubus trial" depending on his relationships. If close to Marla but not Lani, if close to Lani and not Marla, if close to both and if not particularly involved with either. (Again just suggestions feel free to ignore them)
Honestly I wish I had the tools, knowledge and talent needed to make games like these, I always have so many ideas (some great, some good, some just barely passable) but none I'll ever be able to actualize due to lacking all of those things.
These are things that turn into crazy serial killer wall montages... there are so many different versions of events to consider.
A lot of things are dictated by the need to allow for a Marla solo route. In the current alpha, I've expanded a lot of Marla's content and allowed some choices for Liam to make in that regard, but having one of the girls always pushing into a poly relationship limits player choice too much.
Basically, as long as Marla doesn't know abou Lani's racial curse, she will push for poly UNLESS Liam has specifically said he wants a monogamous relationship. If she enters into the relationship before learning abou Lani, she realizes that something is strange about Lani's curse, etc
As for the dungeon expansion, that's on my list. At least partially... I hope to add at least a small amount into the succubus dungeon variations. All of that was written before it was possible to enter into a relationship at all.
Curious why is the guild keeper so biased against MC? Doesn't invite the Veteran Adventurer to the guild unless Lani is in your party... Not like telling Veteran Adventurer hey, you know the people who took you in an trained you... Have a new trainee that is here wouldn't have caused her to at least meet MC... Especially if it were mentioned he was their kid.
Also ask Lani if she remembers where the knife is hidden in case he tries anything...
If the dude really adventured with MC's parents why wouldn't he treat him more like family?
As an adventurer I walk into the guild (The first day you can) I talk to the guild master who "I've met for the very first time" and say "Hey can you upgrade my tent" he looks at my upgraded tent and says
A) Actually you have a pretty nice tent yourself I don't think I could make something better then that If I tried
B) Did you steal that from my back room? I put numbers on them you know?
C) Now what do we have here, I recognize that work that's one of mine how did you get it, I don't remember giving you one...
D) Now what do we have here, I recognize that work that's one of mine how did you get it, I Know I Didn't give it to you, where did you get it?
Like I said random thoughts, would be funny to see in game though
You could add random encounters during after battle and before the next one such as adventures came across your camp (asking for food, attacks you, attempts to steal from you,) assassins attack (if you get far enough that perhaps people have heard of you) or even wild animals attack for whatever reason...
This is similar to some of my far-off plans. There are supposed to be scenes and stories related to each of the boss monsters, but I've not even done those yet... lots of stuff to do.
Quick search for exploration? It should pop up as 'collect all' when you go to a location that you've completed in a past life.
This has special content if Lani is in your party, but only on the first map (more scenes are planned, but I don't think I'll get the chance in this coming version). The second map is currently just a click followed by some code, and then you get your items and move on.

52 days ago was his last update that was back in August, in the last update he mentions that he plans to release a test in September which was last month so since there was hurricanes and stuff like that recently I'm wondering if the guy's okay has any of his testers heard back from him since that last post?

Well I'm glad to hear that he's okay.
How or where can i find things like a recipe list or what things i need to grind to earn certain titles? Like the Cat person title for example
What titles exactly? Also Maxing Cat Person requires Lani to be at or above level 100 at death. I don't think it's actually possible to get right now, but if you were to go for it, you'd have to grind the hardest dungeon for ages.
I really like this game, I'm playing since the 0.3.2.4 update. I'm excited for the next update >:3
Hey my friend i am very big fan of your creation, i would like to suggest 3 titles for the next update, not much for the effect of them but for the text that comes with them which i find interesting, with this i think we would have 35 titles in total which you could make another talk when they just get to know how much we have, First title is lvl 1 RESILIENT MIND or something u get this title after training when you train after your brain cant get anymore intellect because its tired this would affect the rest of intellect allowing you to get more rest every time u dont train it for the day, RESILIENT BODY lvl 1 this would be the same but for body trainings, Last one, every adventure, mission dungeon you go without using any potion will activate this title REGENERATION, you will heal a small amount of hp after every battle, the evolved should be like IMMORTAL or something thank you cucumber i love your game.
Spoiler!!
Its me again i just wanna know what should i do next after defeating succubus?
It says speak with marla in afternoon but there is no afternoon i have only noon and evening why?
Its very slow is there any walkthrough?
The version under dev right now has a hint system in place for most events (and a rewatch system for events as well). As for game pacing, I'm toying with ways to help lower grind, but I've not finalized anything yet.
I'm unfortunately on a semi-break while my kids are home for summer (I'm a stay-at-home parent), but I'll be back to working on the game in a few weeks. New version should drop at the beginning of September.
Oh I understand now. Have a great break hehe
This is one of few games where I didn't mind the grind. I actually found it rewarding as you gain more and more and can do things you couldn't in previous lives. Also compelling as it pushes you to go futher in each life to see what you can unlock for the next one. The continuous rebirth system is Awesome 👌. You actually feel the small differences that make your grind feel worth it. I played non stop for about a month straight on the last update.
Yes my friend for me getting all the titles is the best, cant wait to see when the others than our parents get to know about our potential
If you are where I think you are the events there it just doesn't have the event icon just whenever you see her out at night try clicking on her
The chicken dinner banner doesn't seem to be working... Unless all banners are active the moment you get them and it's not the current one equipped in your room that matter... If that is the case I may have missed something
I tried it on the alchemist when you're chasing those Firefly's (15 points) and without it also got (15 points), I tried with the training at the tree dumbbells... And where it just shows Marla also only offered (15 points)
So it's not "Doubling" anything (at least in the message to players) about to check to see if it really is behind the scenes... And according to stats (Before using chicken dinner) completed task and checked stats, and after Chicken Diner is Equip (During using chicken dinner) completed task and compared this stat to the non banner version with the same result.
It doesn't double stat increases, it doubles skill point increases. The skills are Light and Sneak.
This bug could lead to people missing an event
There is no special icon letting people know that this is an event versus the normal "Dare you to hold your breath" bit
Despite my auto battle settings saying remember this setting tomorrow in dungeons
Skip animations keeps turning off (only in the dungeons though)
This is very confusing
So joining mom
Even though it says self study can Not Fail...("100% chance of success")
Reward for "Study Fail"
Reward for self study success
So assuming studying with Mom is considered a success on this run success is equal to 24 points..
20% more would be 28.8 (round up to get 29 points) still less then the 32 given for successful self study.

and maybe more importantly why none of your Alpha or Beta testers, bothered to bring this to your attention.Why no one noticed this earlier?
I know this is an old message but since no-one else seems to have responded I figured I would give my interpretation of what is happening here. I believe the part that says you have 100% chance of success and 20% chance of great success means you have 100% chance of receiving a reward and 20% chance of a higher reward. Basically the results that say you failed at studying are still considered a success because they still awarded points and the results where you successfully study are the great successes that happen 20% of the time. As for studying with Mom, that is a separate activity with a separate reward. Basically you have the choice to study with Mom and get a consistent reward or study alone and probably get a lower reward but have a chance at (or use exploits to guarantee) a higher reward.
This is what I was talking about when I said why did the % chance for finding stuff reset
Before going to a dungeon
After returning to location after completing dungeon
For the record (I know I point out a lot of "bad things" wrong in the game) however that is only because I enjoy the game enough to pay attention to the details of the work you put into it... How else would I even notice the things like an outfit change or a contradiction so I don't want you thinking that I'm just here to complain (the reason I offered to be a tester for you is also due to my enjoyment). I have 3 different "Games" I saved one where I leveled everything quickly, One where I tried to level the guild, the church and the Gods first and one where I tested the Sneak.

Just a heads up you do have a major contradiction in the game. With the upgraded tent Liam ask Lani if she wants to sleep with him after the first set of interactions at the tent and before he takes over saying there is a warding stone.
But in one of the scenes talking to her he says basically the one they have has no such feature
Did Lani's breast get bigger between these two frames?
And
Okay here is more info on the dungeon bug (in case that was forgotten about or overlooked)
As you can see I have potions
I walked into the Trap
Got an error

This game is fun!
Do you plan to translate it into other languages such as French, Italian or Chinese?
Also, on Android, sometimes the game crashes and stops. Is there a reason with my phone or is it the game that crashes?
I'd rather point it out for you just in case. Otherwise the game is great, I can't wait to see the final version.
Also, it would be cool to be able to have more interaction later on dirty actions. Good luck for the future.
Consistency error...
Enters my room, ask me to come to her room and have a talk....
Suddenly she's wearing PJ'S.... Did she change in front of him? Or is there just a consistency issue?
Random thought you could have the second scheduled death be by Miri. She decides to kill Liam to protect Lani...

Doing guild missions with cooking set but no tent and Lani ask me if I want to break in my new tent
The reason I kept going for the top option at the guild
20 guild points for 1 day, 25 for 2 days and 75 for 10 days
20x2=40, 20x10=200 add to that on days that you camp out you can't raise stats like (dad strength, endurance or strength, endurance and agility) or (mom or self study for intelligence) means a lot of missing stats to me the money wasn't worth missing out on all of that.

If you don't view any of the early morning exercise sneak cut scenes, you can end up with this....
As you see Marla has two events at the same time.
I had just got self appraisal.... But was told

This was in my inventory when I hit a fire pit trap in a level 1 dungeon (eat my dick regus)
Found a bug
As you can see Guild Rank is 6 but my missions are Rank 0... I've only been doing the top one.
As soon as went to the 2nd one...
As you can see doing the next mission fixes the bug.
So... i never expected anyone to only do the first mission for that long. The first mission unlocks the second mission, and the second unlocks missions of the appropriate guild level.
To be honest I had leveled the guild up to level 10 (the church too) hoping for some new title or a title upgrade (like Devout X) and well since the 1 mission gives 20 guild points and the second (using "2 days") only gives 25 I figured I level faster doing the top onen the others so I'll just keep doing them.

Btw speaking of which nice block on the first time you try to eat the rooster making sure that is blocked until the upgraded title was smart.

Though the first time through with no fear title, It could have been left in and he could have choked on a chicken bone (which could have been a possibile cause of being afraid of the chicken) and it would discourage people from trying to eat it until the upgraded title.

I'd like to, but it's not even on the planning board. Right now, equipment is barely even a part of the game, really... it needs love, but it's also not incredibly impactful, so the priority is low.
Guild leader "I have a friend that will be stopping by in a few weeks" literally the next day This is who I was telling you about...
Yeah... I should probably revisit that stuff. So the sequence was put it before a lot of leveling was possible. It unlocks at like Lani lvl 2 or 3, then Martin gives you a warning about Miri, then once you level up some more, she arrives. At the time, the only monsters were basic wolves, so leveling took a while, which is no longer the case.
Android bug in dungeon (not sure what activated it)

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:

This is an issue with me being foolishly artistic with dialogue. It's safe to skip, and I've corrected it in alpha.
You don't have any indicator letting people know that this will lead to any event.
Specifically the rooster one.
I'm pretty sure the new scheduler corrects this problem, but I'll check.
I know this is probably something you're aware of, but this is why I mentioned needing to update scene somewhat
Yet...
I noticed there is nothing you can do with the shrine token, Liam doesn't even show it to his dad.
The Shrine Token will unlock the second story dungeon (under the potion shop), but it's not ready. The town dungeon is what will progress the story for the princess.
You mentioned something about being able to go back and buy all of the other outfits is that only on the patreon version?
Both patreon and itch have feature parity (the difference is release priority). The option to purchase clothes at the shop is currently limited only to Lani's lingerie, so if you already have that, there won't be any option to purchase additional clothes. I have additional clothing purchases on my work list for this release "if I have time", and I don't think I'll have time. It will probably need to wait until after this next one.
Pretty sure I know the answer, however I thought I'd get the official word from the Developer.
I decided hey I'm going to try something new, so I totally ignored Lani and I focused on Marla.
No more cuddle time, after a LONG while there was a scene where Lani gives advice, followed by meeting up at the library.
However nothing between "us" happens after that (I know it is mentioned that the conversation is "saved and meant to be used in a future update" however I'm still banned from cuddle time.
I know that if I did enough Lani stuff eventually we would come together, getting closer together.
But I was kinda hoping that Lani would suggest MC being included in cuddle time again for the sake of Marla. After all in the other games she mentions that she actually fell in love with MC before they even formed a party.
And that spending more time with the MC only deepened the feelings. Meaning there would be 2 ways to possibly end with with Lani, one of them the "Normal Way" and the other a simi more traditional way (talking, going on dates, taking walks, sleeping under the tree), might also be fun to see Lani acting more cat like in some cases (such as preferring to be naked outside, and being scolded for doing so by Luna. Maybe even using it to either embarrass or judge MC reaction to her body.
Though there is another scene you might want to change up, the dungeon fountain, after all of MC and Lani are actively having sex it makes no sense whatsoever to have her tell him to "Turn around and No Peeking" shouldn't they be in that fountain together at least playing...
If you did that then you could also have at least 4 versions of the fountain scene for the "succubus trial" depending on his relationships. If close to Marla but not Lani, if close to Lani and not Marla, if close to both and if not particularly involved with either. (Again just suggestions feel free to ignore them)
Honestly I wish I had the tools, knowledge and talent needed to make games like these, I always have so many ideas (some great, some good, some just barely passable) but none I'll ever be able to actualize due to lacking all of those things.
These are things that turn into crazy serial killer wall montages... there are so many different versions of events to consider.
A lot of things are dictated by the need to allow for a Marla solo route. In the current alpha, I've expanded a lot of Marla's content and allowed some choices for Liam to make in that regard, but having one of the girls always pushing into a poly relationship limits player choice too much.
Basically, as long as Marla doesn't know abou Lani's racial curse, she will push for poly UNLESS Liam has specifically said he wants a monogamous relationship. If she enters into the relationship before learning abou Lani, she realizes that something is strange about Lani's curse, etc
As for the dungeon expansion, that's on my list. At least partially... I hope to add at least a small amount into the succubus dungeon variations. All of that was written before it was possible to enter into a relationship at all.
Curious why is the guild keeper so biased against MC? Doesn't invite the Veteran Adventurer to the guild unless Lani is in your party... Not like telling Veteran Adventurer hey, you know the people who took you in an trained you... Have a new trainee that is here wouldn't have caused her to at least meet MC... Especially if it were mentioned he was their kid.
Also ask Lani if she remembers where the knife is hidden in case he tries anything...
If the dude really adventured with MC's parents why wouldn't he treat him more like family?
Just a random thought....
As an adventurer I walk into the guild (The first day you can) I talk to the guild master who "I've met for the very first time" and say "Hey can you upgrade my tent" he looks at my upgraded tent and says
A) Actually you have a pretty nice tent yourself I don't think I could make something better then that If I tried
B) Did you steal that from my back room? I put numbers on them you know?
C) Now what do we have here, I recognize that work that's one of mine how did you get it, I don't remember giving you one...
D) Now what do we have here, I recognize that work that's one of mine how did you get it, I Know I Didn't give it to you, where did you get it?
Like I said random thoughts, would be funny to see in game though
You could add random encounters during after battle and before the next one such as adventures came across your camp (asking for food, attacks you, attempts to steal from you,) assassins attack (if you get far enough that perhaps people have heard of you) or even wild animals attack for whatever reason...
Also Mimics... You could add them...lol
This is similar to some of my far-off plans. There are supposed to be scenes and stories related to each of the boss monsters, but I've not even done those yet... lots of stuff to do.
Has the "quick search" mechanic been implemented yet?
Quick search for exploration? It should pop up as 'collect all' when you go to a location that you've completed in a past life.
This has special content if Lani is in your party, but only on the first map (more scenes are planned, but I don't think I'll get the chance in this coming version). The second map is currently just a click followed by some code, and then you get your items and move on.
