About
You play a young dark elf man stuck living with your landlady and your roommate near the top of dark elf society, a culture that used to run on slavery and still acts proud of it. Dark elf men are supposed to get aroused once a year, for mating season only. You're not built that way, you're up for it constantly, and there's a love goddess living in your skull making the whole situation worse.
The story follows three chapters as the city's matriarchal order, and its possessive, more than slightly unhinged women, complicate your daily life. It plays as a straightforward RPG rather than a pure visual novel, moving you through the upper and lower city, into places like the police station, meeting new residents and romance prospects as the day goes on. It bills itself as a parody of western RPG settings, and it leans into that joke rather than playing the premise straight.
Changelog
- Extends story one more day (last time, next up is just sandbox)
- The center of this update is that Vienna's sprite redone from scratch. She moves, blinks and talks.
- A lot of the prologue art got retouched a bit, mostly to match eye color and other details.
- A lot of the placeholder sprite art has been redone (it looks much better) but it's still ultimately a placeholder. (Support the game to make it not placeholders)
- Kara and Iserra have little face icons for now (these will get replaced when they get proper sprites next update)
- Bathroom BG in the prologue has been replaced with a real BG from a real artist. (the first of many)
- The background for the scene with El and Ali in the prologue also got replaced by a better bg (it wasn't AI before, but it wasn't the style I wanted).
- Windows icon updated, it also now has a Mac Icon and an android icon.
- Doesn't extend story, still ends in same place, but...
- MALORIA'S SPRITE HAS BEEN REDONE FROM SCRATCH AND HANDRAWN, NOW MATCHES HOW SHE LOOKS IN CGs. HAS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. SHE TALKS AND BLINKS.
- Entire game has been re-coded, start a new save. I would also remove any "patch" you may have put in the game. Actually, just delete and re-download at this point, seriously.
- Tara's sprite got touched up a bit again.
- The Vienna/Tara intro scene got retouched.
- The Maloria in Prison CG got replaced with final version.
- Gallery has been fixed up.
- You'll notice there's a money counter starting in Act 1.
- Extends story throughout the first day in the lower city.
- Introduces characters: Captain Mizri, Saki, Ryoko (the Tailor) and "Zith Woman"
- The Police Station with interactable NPCs
- Maloria in Prison scene (this cg is unfinished, will be replaced in next update)
- Gave Tara's sprite a tail
- Extends story a bit, introduces several characters, including future romance target Oxra.
- Resized Kara's sprite a bit to make her match Iserra's height
- Continues the "Iserra meet" scene with two scenes.
- AI CGs replaced with hand drawn ones.
- Turned what was formally a cg into a background interaction (new npc in background present in prologue).
- Created a gallery to view scenes.
- Fixed a bug where if you skipped you glitched into a room that you couldn't back out of.
- So with this we are done with the prologue and can move on to Act 1. The only thing we'll edit in the future is the sprites.
- WIP scenes no longer wip.
- Title art replaced.
- There's otherwise no new content, 0.11 will focus on replacing the remaining AI CGs.
- Prologue now fully playable
- Two new scenes still in wip stage
- Fixed main character's face in the bath scene.
- Modified two backgrounds slightly
- Modified the brand on Tara's ass and corrected its position.
- I couldn't get everything I wanted done in this update. But it was either that or wait two more weeks. Version 0.10 will not include any new scenes, but will instead continue cleaning up the prologue. This will likely go on till 0.11.
- The more of you become patrons, the easier this becomes! Can we get five new patrons with this update?
- N/A
- Initial Release
