Alpha Release 1.8.3 is available

Some new card images, new backgrounds for Court encounters, fixes to a few bugs including stats not increasing properly in some circumstances and friendship/love failing to register in some cases.

The update is only available through the updater. If you don't have the latest updater, you will need to run it twice. This is a big update with 55Mb of new/replacement images in it.

I am still not happy with some of the new cards and I am thinking about re-working them again. Feel free to give an opinion on that. ;)

Also, I have been adjusting some of the game balance, so some of the games will be harder at the beginning until your stats build up.

Enjoy ...

  1. Actually the game is quite hard for me when the game is constantly giving me a bad hand most of the time.

    Is there any way to decrease the point requirement as you level the character?

    1. Not decrease the point value, but if you look at the options menu when you are in a game, you can adjust your luck value.

      Basically whatever card you were going to get, it finds one that is better and gives it to you. :)

    2. A question...

      When will chapter 2 be fully released? With chapter 1 being only the tutorial and as fun the card game is it gets kind of dull being stuck in chapter 1 with only a small glimps of what the game will fully offer once it hits chapter 2.

    3. PS Where is the updater?

    4. We were aiming for July this year, but we missed that deadline. We are releasing content as quick as we can make it. At the current rate of progress, I would guess mid next year. :(

      The Updater is on the welcome screen under Get Version Update in the newer versions.

      If you have an older version like the 1.4.0, I would recommend getting 1.8.0 and then running the updater. 1.8.0 is at: http://www.mediafire.com/download/sl7awd38dsl36i7/ROCER1.8.0-all.zip
      :)

    5. Thanks...

      By the way which version is planned to have the arts for chapter 2?

    1. Sorry about that. I added some fixup code that corrected bad information in the save and put it a couple of lines too early so the Journal was not set up yet.

      Fixed in the next patch, uploading now. Use the updater to get the fixed version.

    2. Ok, no problem.))
      Should I update to latest Alpha or to latest stable?

      Delete
    3. Either, they are the same at present.

      Delete
  3. I noticed two update options, to the latest stable, and to the most recent alpha. Is it recommended to always check the latest stable version before clicking on the alpha? Or will the alpha contain the files from the latest stable version anyway?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. At the moment the Stable and the Alpha are the same. When we do get a reasonably stable version, it will stop at that point and the Alpha will progress until we get another version that is pretty stable. :)

  4. Old card art much better in my opinion- the new ones look decidedly odd

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Sigh, back to the drawing board. :(

      I will keep trying ... :)

      Delete
    2. I like the new ones, specially the naked version ^ω^ , but imo the new blue knights and Amaranth looks a bit "flat" compared with the old ones, i think they may need another background, or maybe make the characters bigger so they fill more surface.

      By the way, new court scenes are awesome.

      Cheers

      Delete
    3. I like the idea of a different background, especially if it had a design(game related) and contrasting color to the card color. For Blue Knights, the background color, i think it could be 50%red and 50%green.

      Delete
    4. Thanks for the suggestion. I will see what it looks like.

  5. I have 2 qustions about gameplay:
    1. Where are all my coins gone, I've had 100 of them and now nothing. What are those coins actually do?
    2. Portions of virility. I have not seen any bonuses in bonus window. What benefits it gives?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Erk, sounds like a bug on the coins. Their only use is to toss at the flower trap and you get a flower out of it.

      Pregnancy chance = Your potency x their fertility. Each virility potion permanently boosts your potency by 5%.

  6. Found a small bug with the impregnation mini-game when performing the repeated sex event for Tanzy....

    After the 3rd attempt the impregnation mini-game stops working. The mini-game works find in the 1st and 2nd attempt but it stops to work on the 3rd attempt.

    ReplyDelete
  7. So, I think I completed the game, but for the ending that allows you to continue to play,Tanzy keeps telling me to come back later for the cure. Trying to restart from an earlier checkpoint gives me this:

    I did....accidentally get the empress pregnant during the encounter. That might have done it but I don't know. Also, once the game is completed, is the player character allowed to get pregnant or is that in a future update?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The play character is also suppost have a chance at becoming pregnant as well. However, it seems the game hasn't added in the character becoming pregnant chance yet. I'm guessing it is because the event scenes where the main character is pregnant and has to wait out the pregnancy hasn't been developed yet since in chapter 1 tutorial it is mentioned if the main character becoems pregnant the character will have a time skip event due to the kingdoms law of protecting pregnant females.

    2. Ok, I have upped teh count so you can restore any one of the first 36 saves. The number was 24 and when you hit 28 it blew up. :(

      I will have to do something better later.

      After you redeem the Crimson Empress, the game kind of goes into achievement mode, but that is not really there yet. I think I should really end the game at the point for now. I will put that on my todo list.

      The intent is to have the player able to become pregnant.

  8. So, I think I completed the game but in another way, trying to get pregnant everyone I can)))

  9. I really like Verdite's design, also I think her and Emerald's court pictures are swapped.

  10. Is there a list of characters that get visually updated? I seem to only find scenes/people that have placeholder images all the time

    1. Your best bet is to just look into the image folder and see what pictures are there. However that means you may be spoiled ahead of time if you look at certain pictures.

    3. Is there a time/day limit to do training 2?

  11. Due to the increase difficulty of winning the hands, is there a day or time limit to complete training 2?

    Sorry about double posting this question. I made a error the first time and did not know how to delete it.

    ReplyDelete
  12. There has been no change to difficulty in the training sections. Completing training is still dependent on increasing base scores (Seduction and Dominance) above a threshold and getting Kal to have straight sex with you. :)
