Planned Golden Edition

Funny how things are, I was getting torned to pieces for delaying the game, and now I'm getting torned to pieces for not adding content I had absolutely no time to add in the first place...internet logic. XD

The main issue being the difficulty spike, it was a deliberate choice I made because without even trying, you could pretty much kill bosses in three turns at that point in the story before the spike.

Golden Edition will address this by lower PDEF (normal defense) on enemies found during locations you have to visit during the story, optional enemies and bosses won't be affected by the change.
New for Golden Edition is the option for you choose between Normal and Easy Mode when starting a brand new game, Easy Mode will be for those who wants no challenge through the storymode and just steamroll through the game.

Golden Edition will also include everything I originally wanted to be in the game in the first place, but didn't had time to add for the release due to...well, how I started this topic. ;)
But when this version of the game will be finished is anyone's guess, I'll likely work on it during my spare time while the crowdfunding for my third game is running.

  1. I'd really enjoy easy mode right now. I don't really think the game as it is now is a "challenge". I REALLY enjoy plot and art and jokes and lots of nooks and cranes to explore but grinding materials for the best avilable weaps and arms to accually stand ANY chance against next boss is just huge time-eater, mostly just clicking enter through 50 battles with enemies with enormous HP pool and annoying status effects who accually dont give a crap that you have second best avilable equipment and they will beat you to a pulp if you're not paying attention. But thats hours of grinding. Its somewhat masochistic pleasure to get through all this and even though it annoys me to do this i certainly will end main game and NG+ and ++ before you release gold version.

  2. Did someone complain the game is too hard? I'm like 3-4 hours into the game and I find the game very easy... Actually one of the reasons why I came here is to suggest you make the game a bit harder... If you're adding normal and easy options then plz also add a hard option, because I want some challenge while playing the game. Thanks for the awsome game.

    1. I don't want to argue, I'm just plain curious. What team you use? I feel like I made a mistake by keeping Milana on board and not including a offensive caster in my party.

    2. Game time: 5:33:42 - just headed into deadclaw mountains to save Opala. My group is Kai-lvl11, Murdock-lvl10, Gin'Yen-lvl11 and Layla-lvl11. Main character poison skill is just too OP for boss fights. The point is so far I didn't really find any challenge inside the game. I didn't even craft or buy most of the weapons and armors... I'd hate to think just how low damage the mobs would do if i had proper gear...

      Delete
    3. That is the beginning of the game, what Gabe is talking about is a spike in difficulty at a certain point in the game.
      Apparently all mobs start to take less damage and their health pool just increase to like 4 times the usual mobs you were facing.

      Delete
    4. lol there is no need to cheat. only thing needed is lvl 50 and onix weapons and ring of trinity on kai. casting grand fury,evasion and protect at same turn than 3 turns attack and recast and gg. this thing worked well on every boss or enemy i faced :D RAPING SPREE

  4. Thanks Gabe, that's great news. I hope the Golden Edition will also address the bugs and typos found here and there - speaking of which, do you have a central repository/forum where those kind of things can be reported?
    Cheers and keep up the good work.

  5. That's looking Good , (Poison FTW) . Gabe any chance that there will be Good endings into this gold edition? or is that being planed already , I just a soft spot for some of the people in the game. That would be good to know

    Thanks

  6. Very happy to hear that a gold edition will be coming...
    So I guess you will do an update when Gold Edition will be out ?
    Also, I have defeated Naacia and I want to know if I can/will meet her again and if you can/want to tell me how I can accomplish this (and please don't tell me that there won't be a scene with her :/ )

  7. The main issues i am having is the golems in Aideen. Doom and then Power completely decimates my team.

  8. I dont know where to ask this but the maskt girl Gabrielle has disappeared. Before she was i the gnoll tavern, and then i found her on the ranch north of Stonehege. I lost the save for i wanted the new companion Emerala. Now i have reach the ranch again but now she is gone. anyone have the same problem?

  9. Hey Gabe who is this "One" I keep hearing about after I beat Nabonaga and the Goddess Spirit?

    P.S. For all you nugs who are buttmad at the difficulty spike just get a cheat engine for the RPG maker program. Complaining about it won't give you onyx blades and mad stats

    1. Any chance you could post a link to one of those engines? I've literally spent hours now looking and have had no luck :(

  10. Stupid question here : i have all the 6 pieces for the legendary map but don't know how to use them, can ya'll help?

    1. In your inverntory you should have the legendary map which shows you a digging spot (kinda disappointing though)

      Delete
    2. The number of pieces need for the legendary treasure has been up'd to 15 or 16 pieces total

      Delete
  11. I got some questions guys so I would be happy if some of you could answer them
    (may contain some spoilers so please consider this while reading)
    1. After beating Naacia at the Tower of Despair she said that you would be able to meet her again - thing is I don't know how and where (I repeated ToD like 10 times now and she doesn't appear)
    2. How do I solve the problem with the stranded Captain ?
    3. After beating the main story, where do I find the girl that was raped by Ant'erras ? (forgot her name)
    4. Can anyone help me beat the five Master Hen'Tais at the League of Perverts ? (already got max stats for Kai but they still do like 5000+ per attack)
    5. Ok guys bear with me this is my final question :P
    Where do I find Kross's sister after I beat the horseman ? (is there a way from saving her from being raped ?

    ReplyDelete

    1. 1. The clues seemed to suggest you need to clear every single room in the tower of despair this means going in and getting into EVERY single room at least once, not just running through it
      2. I'm not quite sure either, hunting down and beating the captain of the ghost pirateship seems to not have an effect
      3. Look in all of the tunnels that have been unlocked after beating the main game would be my best gues
      4. I cheated, this game isn't much for strategy just get the best items as soon as you can, if you can't forge a onyx cutlass try beat Noobonaga
      5. Can't save her from being raped, but you can get revenge on Eclipse

      Delete
    2. Well I have been to every room (got the trophy for clarification) and on top of the tower there was nothing
      Concerning the Master Hen'Tai I got to say that I already have perfect equipment for every character (besides Kai who is on Lvl 99everyone else is at about Lvl 50 and they still deal like 5000 damage per hit)

      Delete
    3. If your using onyx weapons and black shade armor with rigns of trinity nothing should be able to touch you too hard, but are you using grand fury? I've found that helps out quite a bit when you need to drop enemy HP

      Delete
    4. 1 where i can find the black shade armor and ring of Trinity?
      2 how i can complete the quest for the legendary blacksmith?
      3 When you us fast travel wth te cristal what is the localitaion after the guild of champions? ( the one where you battle agast opponents of quuen opala 1 like the lancer?
      4 what i the special thing for the nabonaga ítem?
      5 where is neena after you beat eclipse the horseman?

      Delete
  12. O_O" dear gods i love you...i just foudn naacia...the battle was great...granted i was cheating cause i wanted to climb the tower to see what was up there...but now im estatic to know my favorite character is there...really looking forward to taking her down without cheating...and really hope she gets to be my pet...absolutely adore naacia

  13. Swegabe i'm not ripping on you. Just offering up constructive criticism. The issue with the difficulty spike in this expansion is that your basically level gating the content while providing nothing for the player to level up off of in a reasonable amount of time. The game now feels like a Korean grind MMO. Went into the expansion around level 30 with mostly diamond/meteorite gear. Was able to struggle past some boss's then just hit a wall with some enemies taking zero damage, and one shotting the party. And even regular mobs around end game areas take like 30+ turns to kill an the xp awarded is not worth the time. All I have found is Cockalot island. But it isn't fun killing chickens all day long.

    So the issue is not so much the difficulty. It's that skill can't win here. You just have to grind for long periods of time, and it is not fun. I would suggest that besides reducing enemies PDEF you also increase the experience awarded by double or even triple.

  16. Gabe can you give some insight how do The Daily Fap deliveries to the mailbox work? I'm tired of the "No new letters" message with no completion in sight, it takes too long and I leave Greenfield more than often with a feeling of bitter disappointment. What exactly triggers them to spawn?

    1. Not Gabe, but just beat bosses, finish quests and make general progress it will be overflowing shortly

    2. Well, it's not. It takes an agonizingly long amount of gameplay to get a single letter. I'm sure it's triggered by SOMETHING that I do amongst all that gameplay and I want to know that one specific thing.
      Also I was hoping Emeralda would be that SINGLE ONE character in Namaria that would be pure and innocent enough to be excluded the "privilege" of being included. No one is safe. ;_;

    4. Party member affection?

      Slightly disappointing, I was hoping maybe that there'd be an option for the MC to get some love from his party members in the Golden edition... instead he's left behind again.
      OH WELL.
      Time to gift some presents away.

      But please do remember my proposition about more party member interaction. INTIMATE interaction. It'd be a good idea to expand Greenfield Manor, to have them hang around it like they do in taverns.

      Delete
    5. Every scene cost around $300 to add and takes a month to finish, I think that should speak for itself.

      Delete
    6. Can't they just be single illustrations like the ones by Sparrow?
      And worst case scenario, at least consider expanding the player mansion a bit more by adding the party members to it and doing something with the empty fenced areas.
      Just a small suggestion from me, thanks in advance for consideration.

      Delete
    7. They could be, sure, but it wouldn't really change the cost or the time it takes to make, as it'd still be made by the two artists...just suddenly throw a completely different artist into CG scenes would be too much out of place.

      And the mansion was always meant to have more content to it, but I ran out of time, it will be in the Golden Edition though...like the option to get Opala, Osira or Farah as your wife and live with you. :3

      Delete
  17. hey gabe, before i get to the battle with seth, if i have made only evil decisions, will i have the chance to join sides with Osira?, i really want that just like the first game. plz answer cuz i'm going to replay the game all the way from the start and i wanna know if that is possible?

  19. Im sorry, but how does one impregnate a girl in this game? I have finished story mode, beated eclipse once, talked to girls in every tavern, but i dont know how to sleep with them. I have taken the quest bedroom warfare, and girls seem to like me a LOT, but how im suppose to sleep with them?

    3. Odd.I just use 1 of the items you can buy from the lizard of the Neverus tribe and 1 fertilizer from Thebes shop.Never failed to impregnate with just these 2 items.Never had to use more than 1 fertilizer.

  20. If you are going to release a gold edition anyway, maybe you could fix the bugs I found (unless those are features, not bugs):
    1.When entering the greek village via the void, Kai says his sentence about the villagers being ghosts, but there are no villagers.
    2. Even though hes has long last opened his shop in Nazadina, you can still encounter Gnoll in his shack in Valethorn.
    3: Some achievements did not unlock for me, even though I've met the requirements (I recruited Latex, no achievement. Osira betrays me after freeing egypt, no achievement. I became champion, no achievement. I entered the haven of the furries, no achievement.)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1. I'll have to take a look!
      2. That wasn't Gnoll, that was just some random Werewuffie you encountered in Valethorn.
      3. I think that might be a issue at your end and not with the game itself, I have to take a closer look, but I'm pretty sure at least the Ancient Haven trophy unlocks without problems.

      Delete
    2. I can vouch for issue 1, and since were talking about bugs I think I have a rather major one.


      (Spoilers, don't say I didn't warn ya)





      So after handing Opala over to the Blackeagle gang to be their slave the "quest" doesn't progress, Hawk only asks if I'm going to hand her over. Don't know how big of a bug this is or even if it is one, I'm just hunting down Ultimates and I suspect Hawk of being one of the last two I need to kill

    3. I am playing again, maybe this time the trophies will unlock. Do I have to do something special to unlock "Sacred Kingdom"?

      Delete
    4. Not a bug, just some food for thought: Maybe you should reset the Distant Wagon when starting NG+. It is strange to be able to travel to Shaabera when the Guards wont even let me pass the Frontier Aqueduct

      Delete
    5. I just figured out why the trophies don't unlock: It looks like my old .rewards file is not compatible with the new version of the game. Started all over again, now it works like it should

  26. for the gold edition could you put in the ability to re watch the scenes play out with the text, right now i think i can only look at the pictures individually and not the entire scene. (i apologies if this is in the game already and ive missed it but i cant see it)

    1. Da du typische deutsche Fehler beim Englisch-sprechen machst, antworte ich dir auch mal auf deutsch:
      1) Du brauchst keine Karte fürs Festival Island. Du musst nur ein Schiff besorgen, dass du selbst steuern kannst und suchst sie im Südwesten der Welt.
      2) Die Anführerin der League of Perverts sitzt in ihrem Zimmer im Hauptquartier. Dort musst du auch für eine andere Quest hin, brauchst aber auch dafür erstmal das Schiff.

    If I had any request it would be more on the side characters like Latex.

  29. Great work on the game, but I noticed a game crippling issue that should be fixed for the Gold Edition. In the League of Perverts, you can take a quest called King Or Queen, and if you choose the side of the Mistress, then you have to battle 5 Mister Hen'tai's right outside the hallway in the training area. The problem is that you are forced into the fight as you cannot go around the arena, and if you take the quest and are under-levelled, then you are forced into a fight you can't win, thus leaving you permanently trapped in the hallway.

    1. where do you find league of perverts ? wolfsgang told me to find them. Are they around Shaabera ?

    4. After the mailing quest go further into the League and talk to either El'Date Rape or Mistress T'n'A, both offer the same quest but whichever you talk to is the one you back to become leader of the League, there's no warning so if you talk to the wrong one first you have to reload

  32. I've just got up to finishing off Seth after re-starting. One of the things I would like to see in the Gold Edition is the ability to change party members at the Greenfield Lands. I mean, all the pictures are up in the Guest Quarter, makes sense that the party would hang out there admiring the pictures so we could swap out members there.

    Really really loving the game, btw!!!! :-)
