[ENG] 2019 October Report
October report's here!
There's a lot of story content getting done this month but it will take another step to turn them into visual novel scenes.
Also, I'd like to remind all supporters that the game is still in progress, and there will be many changes in the story or the order of events. For example, the dating Aoba event is planned to happen earlier in the story, as well as more Tharsix screen times, etc.
Because of this, I'd like to ask you not to post anything in public that reveals the main story plot points, especially starting from chapter 3. I don't want any confusion, since non-supporters might not understand and take all work-in-progress as final and canon.

Hi Punipen, I was wondering if you could share with us (in order) the names of the 5 countries and their corresponding symbols? Like from left-to-right? :) Thank you! :D
Some names aren't final yet but they are: 1. Nuana 2. Land of the East (temporary name) 3. Kornelia 4. ???? (temporary name) 5. Karantac - Punipen
How often do they actually release updates? Seems odd getting charged for updates when nothing comes out.
I believe that we're getting charged for the time they're spending on developing it.
I know that previously there were plans to have three playable characters in the game (Volga, Cyrus, and Tharsix) - when the whole game is released is this still the plan or will we just be able to play as Volga? Thank you for all that you do! This game is superb you all do so much work! <3
I believe there was an announcement within the last year that they're scrapping the multiple playable protagonists and just focusing on Volga's POV for the entire duration of the project.
チャプター3のカイラーノ戦の完成はまだ先になりますか？
まだ新しい絵師見つからないので、カイラーノのお仕置きシーンはまだ先になります。 - ぷにペン
One small issue with the Volga pictures, they are missing his tail. Unless it's completely bent back on itself as he is lying on his back (which would be rather painful I would think), it either needs to be shown off to one side or be laying down out of the way coming out directly underneath Volga's butt hole (but not blocking the view).
You're right. It's weird because the tail was there in the sketch and I guess it got lost somewhere in the process. We're going to fix it before putting it in the game for sure. Thanks for pointing that out! - Punipen
Oh, I'm glad exp growth got adjusted again, I was only at level 18 by the end of Chp 3 (though I still didn't have a hard time with beating Darius). I'm not sure if I just missed it or if it hasn't been revealed yet, but is there a list of characters that will be dateable as well as in what chapter they are planned to become available to date?
We'll probably release another patch to fix exp growth and armor upgrade cost growth. As for the dateable characters, pretty much all main characters except Cronus are dateable, but the chapters they become available aren't revealed yet since it's something we need to adjust again. - Punipen
Nice! Quick question though, in terms of overall game play mechanics, how complete do you feel the game is? It feels like you come quite far at this point so I don't believe you have anything major you need to implement, correct?
There's one mechanic I'm planning to add but it's not a priority right now and it can be added in the second iteration after the whole game is completed. Other than that, there's a class change-like system at the bathhouse that I haven't fully implemented but this one is easier and should be implemented soon. Those two are major ones. Other than that, it mostly depends on bosses in the game. As you can probably see, bosses in Kemo Coliseum mostly utilize unique gems or puzzle mechanics. Gameplay mechanics can be a part of the narrative, expressing the story, the scene or the character, so I care a lot about that. This is common in any JRPG game, imo. Like a time-limit boss battle in Final Fantasy 6 or a boss that you need to destroy all parts before the true self is revealed in Persona 5, etc. - Punipen
Glad to see more progress is being made and that Tharsix is finally gonna have more screentime! Cant wait to see more of him.
You guys put a lot of effort into this game. And also that teaser is hot and very Volga
You really put a lot of effort in this game. I like that you pay attention to small details, like improved enemy replacement. And darn, the erotic scenes are always such a tease x//) Great work ^^ Keep it up
Wonderful! Keep up the great work! You guys are doing a great job!
