Game is Live on Google Play!

What version are you using? Still 17 or did you update to v21?

I have beta testers trying out the Arena and fight system (and they are also testing out Ch 11 and 12). Chapter 11 of the game has the first 'fight' in the game, and so I was waiting for that aspect of the game to be created and tested. Once corrections and bug fixes are done, and the beta testers are done testing, we will push out the update to everyone, and then hopefully I can just focus on uploading new chapters after that.

Maybe 1-2 weeks? The next 2 chapters are written, but I need the battle system to function before I publish them.

Sorry. It's really difficult to estimate. My schedule got busier than usual this last month, and I haven't had time to really work on it at all. I've got Date 2's in progress, and I've got some plot fleshed out for Part 3, but haven't had time to really get into writing it yet (just trying to keep up with Patreon right now).

The reason I ask is I am currently on chapter 8. So I am curious if there are more chapters available

That is a very good idea, and makes a lot of sense. I will see if we can implement that. And yeah, I do need to see about getting wedding dresses for the characters.

Yeah, it's real. A lot of the top 20 players were Beta Testers, so they are basically a couple months ahead of everyone else (I wasn't going to erase their progress). BUT, there is no actual benefit from being on the Leaderboard, so it's not like anyone is missing out on anything anyway. But to explain how it's possible for someone to be that high in only a week (because there are some who are in the top 10 who have only been playing that long): The primary purpose of Essence Crystals (blue gem) is to increase your stats, and while I wouldn't recommend it, you can also use Blood Gems (red gem) to convert to Essence Crystals. For those who have been playing for the last week, they would get 250 Essence per day for doing the Daily Goals (about 2,000 as of today), and from the 'Consecutive Login Rewards' they would get an additional 700 so far. Combined with the story, that would put them 4,000 Power minimum (and potentially as high as 5,000). For those who have been spinning the roulette wheel 10 times a day, the rates work out so that 'on average' you will get the 2500 reward (either Blood Gems or Essence Crystals) once every 5 days. A little bit of luck, and there some who have gotten 5,000 extra gems in the last 7-8 days. However, I also gave everyone 10,000 Blood Gems, and there are quite a few who used all of them to convert into Essence Crystals and increase their stats. I wouldn't personally recommend doing that, since it's the primary Gem to get outfits, but that would put most people at about 14,000 Power minimum and as high as 20,000 Power, which is more than high enough to unlock most of the current outfits (Stats primarily affect unlocking outfits). There are then those who got the Lifetime pass, since it's a permanent benefit, and so with that perk for the last week, a lot of them are at 20,000 to 25,000 Power. For those in the 30,000+ range, like I said, quite a few are Beta Testers, though not everyone is. The Fairy Girl unlocks at Lv 42, which is 190,000 Power, and someone really wanted to unlock her.

So, the tutorial kind of goes over it, but I'll break it down here too. Your overall Power will be used to sort of 'gate' the story a little. As in, Part 3 will probably require 2,500 Power to play it, and the next Part will require a bit more than that, etc. Something that can be accomplished for free, but will take a few days to reach for brand new players. Now, for those who are playing right now, this likely won't affect you at all, and really only affect new players months from now. However, the biggest thing that 'individual Stats' affect is unlocking outfits. Each character has one stat that is their 'main stat,' such as Strength for Gwen and Endurance for Gabriella. For their later outfits, you need a pretty high level of that particular stat to unlock the outfit. My personal recommendation is to only increase your stats when you 'need to,' in order to accomplish a specific goal. So if you level Gwen up to Lv 7 and want the outfit at Lv 7, then you need 5000 Strength. It's at that point that you would want to use your Essence Crystals (blue one), in order to increase your Strength so you can get the outfit you want, etc.

Unfortunately, that won't be possible for a variety of reasons, but I do agree that I should definitely come up with alternatives. Maybe an outfit that is 'Patreon exclusive' for characters? (As in, it won't be in the game at all, or perhaps won't be in the game for a while.)

Right now, each character just has one date, but I will be adding a ton more. The idea is that Date 2 will unlock with Intimacy Lv 2, Date 3 with Intimacy Lv 3, etc. Each companion will eventually have at least 5 to 10 dates. The Void Tower is basically 'infinite progression rewards.' It takes into account both your Character's Power and the Companion's COMBINED Affection. The rewards initially start off small, but once you get to higher levels, the get much nicer and will be a way for you to farm Blood Gems regularly (infinitely). For pairing Queens and Knights, can you elaborate on what you'd like to see? Like, are you talking about them sort of being a 'combo' in the Companion menu, and you can see all of them on screen at once? (would be difficult for them to fit).

I asked about the dates on discord and Kurtis replied with this: "Date 2 will unlock with Intimacy Lv 2. Date 3 with Intimacy Lv 3, etc. Getting more content uploaded into the game is a huge priority to me right now, so I might have date 2's uploaded as soon as Sunday evening or Monday."

I will be adding more today and tomorrow. It is similar to Patreon in the sense that I can upload more at any time. I don't have to do an 'app update' to add more content. I can literally upload to the backend, hit publish, and it immediately goes live in the game.

Yeah, I'll have to find a balance, because Patreon releases will have to come first. BUT at the same time, the game chapters are usually shorter, often half the length of what I write for Patreon, so I 'might' be able to manage weekly releases for both. Or at least maybe 3 or so chapters per month for the game.

Yeah, I have a few more chapters written, and just need to upload them to the backend. But Ch 6 is all that is in the game right now.

I will see if we can come up with a fix for that. I think the cause is because after the text displays, there is like a half second pause where tapping becomes inactive, and this is solely to prevent people from an 'accidental click.' But in hindsight, since you can easily go back a dialogue, maybe that feature isn't necessary at all.

Audio settings appered later, after reading the first story line. Would be nice to have access to them earlier.

I have a few more chapters written, and plan on uploading them in the next few days. After that, chapters will probably come 'maybe' once a week, so possibly 3-4 new chapters per month.

Android only at the moment. Got to tackle one beast at a time (it's actually a lot of work to transition a game to a different platform -- all these mega developers make it look so easy, but it's not).
