The holiday update 24.12.20 is now available! Changes: - The building of Lum's orphanage received a small arrow icon to it after the construction, so that it's better visualized that you can enter the building on the time skip map. - In the orphanage of Lum in act 5 of the time skip events, you can now access a new riddle area when you talk with Cookie. This area can also be accessed by using the present icon in the bottom right corner of the CG room page "Main chars" when you select to enter the "Christmas 2024 dungeon." This works even when you're not far enough in the events to unlock the area by normal means. - After solving the riddle of the "mysterious man" you get several rewards from Cookie. If you have this riddle, and Cookie's riddle dungeon for the spirits is also done, the waterspirit will appear in Lum's orphanage and start a new CG event with her. - After the CG scene with Lind at her house in Aldlyn, you can now select her on the special marriage screen of the church for her wedding. - Also after Lind's scene at her house, and when you had the events about Gavin Livingstens attempted assassination against you, Lind will get a ! above her head in the meeting room of the sleeping chambers. The new dialog with her will trigger an event about the noble families, and reveal the mastermind behind the assassination attempts. (And also unlocks a CG scene with a new character at the end.) - The "Save" and "Load" options in the menu were combined to one button. - The save/load screen was updated, and the amount of save slots increased to 32. (The auto-saves were changed to alternate between save slot 31 and 32 every 2,5 mins now.) - The "CG room" option was added back to the menu, so that it's available even in areas where the fast travel system is disabled. - New Christmas decoration in the castle in Aldlyn, including a Christmas snowman in the ice area of the monsterhall.

Changes: - In act "Preg" of the time skip events in the story, you can now get a new event with Naevy after you had her second CG scene. (Sparkling icon in the forest east of Aldlyn, then a yellow icon over Aldlyn in the third step.) - Dialog in act 1 of the time skip events with the hellhounds at the volcano in Amagal. The event requires Dai-Xinyue's first solo CG scene, and unlocks a new event with the hellhounds and the Thanka oni family in act 5. - Also in act 5 is a new event with shark pirate captain Phewyss. (Sparkling blue icon over Havaria Port) It requires the first encounter with Phewyss in the fairy wonder forest events during act 4.

Changes: - The new npc Aryan Stroll is now near the entrance in the castle of Kagabangui. When you have the quest with Queen Lancafew done, and the brothel near Aldlyn is constructed, talking with Aryan gives an event that introduces two new girls, Samia and Yesem. - In act 5 of the time skip events, you can watch the next step of Lum's events. Depending on who else works in the brothel, he and the manager will say a sentence or two about them and how they're doing. At the end, the construction for a new orphanage in Begus becomes available. - Cookie and Spectra can appear in Lum's orphanage for a special event, if you finished the events with Kenzie and the other spirits in act 1. The magic riddle area is done when you found all 6 hiding children and brought them back to the entrance area. - The first dialog with Tsubaki after the start of the game now shows her newer full body CG. - Grey apparently got lost and was standing around in the new church building without a purpose. He was guided back home. - When you didn't select to convince Brad to stay as a girl during his events, you can't unlock his wedding events, but you can replay them now in the CG room to not miss out on the content. - Scropions got added as roaming monsters on the worldmap in Dorgania. - When you have a Teleport Rune item for the Thremten thieves guild, you'll now get an icon on the fast travel screen to teleport there without having to search for the item in your inventory. - All systems have the "import/export saves" feature now in the options menu, which allows save files to be transfered from or to android systems.

Changes: - New area "Lamia Forest" where you can fight and capture water and green lamias. The icon to enter the area is east of Aldlyn in act 2 of the time skip events. - You get the automatic victory against the water lamia enemies on the new map without the need for a battle when Ryen is level 99+, and against green lamias when he's level 140+. With an empty Soul Lantern item in your inventory, you get the choice whether to defeat or capture the monstergirl. - The captured green lamias can be released at Tabsy's farm and produce weak love potions. Their relationship can be increased, but there is no CG scene at 100 relationship. The CG scene for green lamias can be obtained in the nature raid challenge. - At the end of the lamia forest is a repeatable lamia boss enemy, who drops 3 love potions when defeated. After the first victory, it'll appear at a random place in the forest again when you re-enter the area. - The new lamia enemies all have an increased base hit chance to counter evasions, and have a lower chance to get hit by critical strikes. This will be done with more strong and new enemies, to lower the power of crit and evasion over basic stats on equipment a bit. - The new skill "Critical Reflex" allows you to get a buff with a similar effect, which greatly reduces the chance of enemies to land a critical strike against you. An item to teach the skill to one party member can be found twice in the new lamia forest. - When you picked the option during Brad's events to convince him to stay as a girl, and the church near Thremten was constructed on the country overview map, then entering the new Lamia Forest area in act 2 of the time skip events will unlock a new event with Brad. This event will start with an icon at Aldlyn in act 2. - Fertilizer, seeds, and plants from the nature raid dungeon can now be sold for a small amount of gold. The primary idea behind this is to allow people to sell things they don't want or need, to let them clean their inventory. - The walking speed doesn't increase anymore when you teleport to the Spire of Courage with the Fast Travel system. - There was an issue when people changed their class to the advanced level 200 class and then afterwards advanced the story of the character and got the class change to a weaker class in the events. This won't be possible later, when the time skip is done and you can't go "back in time" anymore, but it was possible in the current version of the system. To fix the class for people that have already encountered this problem, a check was added when you enter the time skip phase, which automatically fixes the class of characters to the level 200 class when they have it unlocked but not active. - The beach event of Akai was added as a replay option in the CG room. - The effect of Tsubaki's "Battle Cry" skill now only lasts for 5 turns. - The accessory item "Spiked Choker" can be bought in the blacksmith of Aldlyn. When the choker is equipped, the character fights automatically with only basic attacks. This effect has no turn limits. - New CG for Naevy's first CG scene, to make the artstyle consistent. - Fixed a bug which allowed you to use the whetstone Herai-ya to craft the upgraded Setsuna+ at the fire raid anvil without getting the normal Setsuna first. - The green lamia enemies in the nature raid dungeon are now automatically defeated when Ryen is level 95+. (These green lamias, same as all other monsters in the Spire of Courage, can't be captured.) - A cheat to increase the level of all party members was added to the [Fixes/Cheats] menu. - The quest "Skilltree" is now obtained after Trey joins your party at the start of the game. The event will also show the message "You can now access the "Fast Travel" screen via the menu, to quickly get to unlocked locations, but also to access the CG room, skilltree, and later country management options." The text of the quest was also changed to adjust it to the new way to enter the skilltree screen. - The experience values enemies give when they're defeated was changed. The new values are connected to the enemy's level, and are significantly increased for most enemies. The change makes the experience more consistent between enemies with similar strength, and decreases the necessary time to get to high levels. [For non-boss/event enemies from level 1-49 the experience is "level*40-120" and for level 50+ you get "level*55-300" experience.] - Fixed a problem with Chastitty's battle, which made it possible to get the rewards without fighting.

Hotfix 24.09.29 changes: This update is primairly to fix and re-activate the unique item system, so that augments can be attached to these unique items again. - The game will automatically apply the fix for the unique item system when you're past the introduction with the ministers in your castle at the start of the story. - This fix will prevent the game from making duplicated items in saves that were created before the unique item system was introduced. - The "disappeared" items should all be back. - An option in the cheat/bugfix menu was added to allow you to remove duplicated legendary (unique) equipment. However, for this to work, you should be on your normal party (not female adventurers for example) and all equipment on characters is taken off by the system to allow it to count and correct the amount properly. (Since it can be annoying with all equipment being taken off, I made this an extra option in the bug-fix menu, instead of an automatic system.) - The change of item names when augments are attached now works as intended, even in older saves. - An option in the cheat/bugfix menu was added to give you an orb to clean item names that were bugged in the previous version. For example, an item whose name was changed to "Sharp " will return to it's original name when that cleaner orb is attached and removed once. The boost number behind the name (+X) can show a wrong value as result, but that doesn't affect the actual strength of the item or augment. - The error in the crafting system with alchemy tables or with Chiyo's alchemy skill was solved. - The "optimize" equipment option works properly again. - The toggle for the colorblind mode is now in the options menu.

Update 24.09.24 is primarily for quality of life and system improvements. The usual content updates will continue in the next version with Brad's wedding among other things. Changes: [-Menu-] - Improved menu system, which includes a Fast Travel" option to replace the teleport orb item, and the options to load save files and exit the game completely. - Improved item screen with new categories for the items.
The teleport screen (now Fast Travel) also has a few additions: - Exit to go back to the location where you selected "Fast Travel" in the menu. - Enter the country overview map to manage your country. (Unlocks after the events with Sir Edward, Mira, and the old barracks to the point where you previously received the country management map item.) - Two new connections to the worldmap were added. One appears near Witton in the south of Central after your introduction to the ministers in the castle of Aldlyln, the second in Dorgania after they open their border with you. - The black borders of the background on the left and right were replaced with green grass. The map also changes now when you have roads constructed. With the second upgrade for stone roads, the images on the left and right will also randomly change to a desert/snow background when you enter the screen.
[-Augment system-] Some weapons and armor pieces are now unique and can be upgraded with augments, which can be attached and detached freely. - Runes give attack bonuses or additional skills for weapons. - Glyphs will change the attack element of the weapon. Only weapons without an attack element have a slot for a glyph. - Orbs can be used to improve stats in both weapons and armors. - Spheres are upgrades for armors.
- Weapons now have a text color that shows their attack element. For example, a fire weapon is red, thunderfury as a thunder element weapon is yellow, and so on. - Legendary items have orange names, unless their attack element is changed with a glyph. - Armors that are unique with sphere and orb slots have a purple names, or orange when they're legendary items. - The augments not only change the color of items, but they also change the name. For example, a Thunderfury blade with a rune of sharpness is renamed to "Sharp Thunderfury" and a (+X) behind the name shows a vague power level of all augments on the weapon. - The (+X) number behind the name of the item doesn't affect it's stats. The number is just a visualisation of how powerful the augments on that item are, so that you can quickly see what item has a lot of augments on it. - You can change the augments of equipped weapons/armors without having to take them off. (However, equipment that was equipped before this update has to be taken off and put back on first, before they appear in the item list of weapon/armor while being equipped.) - Note: When you have an augment with percentages, like +ATK%, it won't change the stats of the weapon in the preview screen, as it increases the total ATK of the character equipping the item, not just of the item itself. - A part of the idea for the system is that you can get the simple augments early, the better augments in raids or higher level dungeons, and the best augments in the time skip cotent and afterwards. This way, the legendary weapons you've farmed won't become replaced by better equipment in later stages, but are constantly improved instead.
- There are new mining spots and shop options all over the world to obtain simple augments, but you can also purchase them in a new shop on the time skip phase screen. - An option in the cheating menu was added to give you a bunch of the most powerful augments, including those that can't be obtained yet. (Obviously just for testing purposes. You wouldn't use them for anything else...right?) [-QoL, balancing, and bug fixes-] - You can now enter the church you construct on the country overview map next to Thremten from the worldmap. (It currently has no events or chests in it though.) - The damage of Frall's vanguard squad ability "Ice Lance" was increased from 5 to 15 dmg per remaning AP. - Fixed a bug with Bristol's vanguard squad ability Meteor Strike, which caused the spot of defeated enemies to be impassable. - New buttons on the laboratory and university research screen for the country management map allow you to quickly switch between the two screens. - The price of pearls for skills in the skilltrees for the female adventurers was reduced. - The "Turn End" icon on the country overview map now gives you the option to advance several turns at once, if you have 2 or more logistic points. - Automatic increase of all party members with a level below 90 to level 90 when you enter the time skip events. - The amount of seeds and fertilizers you receive from defeating boss enemies in the nature raid dungeon was significantly increased. - The amount of crops you get from plants in the nature raid dungeon was changed from a fixed amount of 1 to a random amount between 1-3. - The chance to get legendary items from the fire raid chests was significanly increased. - I added an option in the cheat and bugfix menu to finish the quest Dorgania Deserter, so that people who encountered a bug that left the quest unfinished even after solving it can get it out of their questlogs. - The random encounters on the worldmap were replaced by small monsters that run around on the map. The plants in Central are automatically defeated when Ryen is level 30 or higher, and the plants in Begus and the scorpions in Dorgania when Ryen is level 60+.
- The academy on the country overview map now increases the level of a vanguard squad by +1 for 30 Budget immediately (for an unlimited amount of times as long as you have enough Budget), instead of 10 Budget for +50 experience once per turn. - In the secret mine of Manastyr, when you give iron to transmute it into strange gold, you now get to select how much iron you want to transmute instead of all iron being used automatically. - The dialogs for trading with the hellhounds in the hellhound village in the volcano of Amagal were improved. You can now select how many of an item you want to barter, dialog boxes with comments like "Here you go~!" were removed to make trading faster, and you automatically get back to the barter options after a successful trade so that you can make multiple trades quickly in succession. - Coal sources were added to the dungeon below the fort building in Witton. (The dungeon in which you meet Sandra.) - A new construction option south of Thremten on the country overview map gives an permanent increase in Iron production for 25 Budget. - When you interact with the constructed bakery on the country overview map, it'll now give you the option of a one-time upgrade to improve the production of bread by +2 per turn for 35 Budget. - The whip in Varea's room in Manastyr is now obtainable. It's on the level of a magic dagger, but for M.ATK instead of physical ATK. The whip has a rune, glyph, and orb augment slot.

Update 24.09.13 changes: - The new character Lum was added to the brothel. Lum's event starts when you talk with the manager of the brothel on the left side in the brothel. She should have an !-icon above her head when you can trigger the event. After the introduction of Lum, leave to the worldmap and re-enter the brothel. When you go up the stairs now, a new event with Lum in a forest will trigger. During the event in the forest are a few optional dialogs, which you only get when Alcena is one of your vanguard leaders. After the event in the forest, talk with Lum again for another new dialog. For these new events to trigger, you need Allisa (the elf from Orchel) in the brothel, and Pandora must be in your bedroom. - A new quest "Airhead" for a story with Tabsy and Amara was added. To unlock the quest, you need Tabsy's first dialog at her farm, Amara established as caretaker of Kayelinth's farm near Aldlyn, and 1x water lamia, cowgirl, and big harpy released at Tabsy's farm. When you have all requirements when you enter Tabsy's farm, she'll have an !-icon above her head and give you the new quest. During the quest, you'll get an additional dialog part when you also have 1x small harpy, drider, and arachne monstergirls released at Tabsy's farm. - A full body CG for Tabsy was added. - A full body CG for Amara was added. - A new event with the Thanka oni family starts in act 1 of the time skip map in Calterburry. Requires that you finished their previous events, to the point where Angrika is a vanguard leader for your army. The event has one CG scene in act 1, which unlocks a second CG scene in act 2. - A new icon below Aldlyn on the teleport orb screen allows you to teleport directly to the worldmap now. - A bug with Ellanore's events was fixed. - Black Twin Towers of Honor daily challenges changes: On monday, you're still confused but you get 300% Max HP and +20% evasion. On Tuesday, the HP reduction to 1% was changed to 10%. The hit-rate reduction on Wednesday was reduced from -50% to -40%. - The pregnancy icon for Ash is now blue when she got pregnant by Brad and not Ryen. - The pages "Central 4" and "Non-human 4" were added to the CG room. - I changed what Kayelinth's farm looks like on the worldmap, so that it's better visualized that you can enter a different area in that spot than with the farm below, which bring you to Aldlyn.

Update 24.08.27 changes: - The main story now advances when you talk with Varea in Manastyr or the sleeping chambers. It'll give you the connection from the present time to the time skip area, which isn't fully done yet, but has some new content. - New dialog in act 1 with the vanguard forces. - New dialog in act 1 with Flaire near Thremten (when she is on her good route) - New dialog in act 1 with the Orchel elves after the racism quest is done. - New dialog in act 1 with Sparky near The Black Twin Towers of Honor when you finished her riddle and brawl battle with Brad. - New dialog in act 1 with Demoness at the Spire of Courage when you finished her events with Naevy. - New dialog in act 1 with the raiders at the Spire of Courage when you defeated the fire raid at least once. - New dialog in act 1 with Libelle in Aldlyn when you have her CG scene done. - New dialog in act 1 with Aiyana in the forest south of Red Keep (if you returned Eagle and had the scene with Flora) - New dialog in act 1 with Mozaik and Pandora at Tabsy's big farm. Requires their previous events. - New dialog in act 1 with Cassedy in Witton after finishing the good or bad route with the Luminous Order. - New dialog in act 1 with Ziki at Ironholm Prison when the events with her and Shanna are done. - New dialog in act 1 with Lucilla in the forest in the north of Dorgania, west of Havaria Port. This dialog will unlock a new event in the same spot in act 2. In the new area in act 2, Thiro's dungeon, you can currently do 5 challenges with: - The original 6 vanguard leaders. - Sparky. (After the challenge of Sparky is done, talk with her again for a CG scene.) - Lady Akira, Kurohime, and Citrinne. - Shanna, Naomi, and Ziki. - Jackie, Lexi, Jenny, and Flaire when she is on her good route. [Once all challenges are done, you can get a battle and CG scene with Thiro.] - A new accessory was added, which gives the character who equips it triple experience from battles. (Experience gained from events or quests is not affected.) You can get one on the first map of the easy dungeon in the Spire of Courage, and Aiyana can give you three more in act 1 of the time skip events. For Aiyana's dialog to appear in act 1, you need to be on her good path and finish her scene with Flora first. - The lore about races in Ellanore's dialog was changed, and a few images were added to show and explain the new categories and the life spans of the different races better. - Fixed a problem with Alcena's squad's ability to attack twice per turn. - Fixed a bug with Akai's "Steam Gun" quest, which prevented the quest to finish and advance properly sometimes. If you encountered the bug, going back into Akai's workshop will automatically fix the issue and set the quest to complete when entering the building through the door.

Update 24.08.09 changes: - New event with the elemental spirits. It's start with a dialog with Aura on the time skip Act 1 map. The new events only appear when you have: 1. Mira's events in the temple island until the point where you first meet Kathreena. 2. Windpsirit is in Ebron [Requires the main story in Dorgania to be advanced, and Vampire's CG scene, so that Windspirit is in the top left of Aldlyn. After you talk with her there, she moves to Ebron.] [You can access the test version of the time skip content when you interact with the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom in the castle of Aldlyn by selecting the "Time skip preview" option.] - Naevy full body CG remake added - New full body CG for Windspirit - New full body CG and CG scene image for the Icespirit Aura - CG room changes: Selka was moved to the page "Others 2" and Baemeth to "Non-human 2" - New walkthrough design with additional details to many parts, like individual pages for each character and all quests to have more space to explain everything you need to know. There are also more pictures to show locations of important objects, new riddle solutions, and much more.
Some equipment pieces have new locations to purchase them, to ensure that everything is obtainable: - Ring of Regeneration (Kavrala's store in Orchel) - Ring of Health (Kavrala's store in Orchel) - Ribbon (Kavrala's store in Orchel) - Thunder Armor (Kavrala's store in Orchel) [Also sold at the blacksmith in Diminus Castle.] - Protective Gold Bracelet (Kavrala's store in Orchel) - Black Hat (Magic store in Newkungu) - Black Clothes (Magic store in Newkungu) [Also dropped by weak mummies.] - Magic Robe of Earth (Magic store in Newkungu) - Revealing Clothes (Magic store in Newkungu) - Heart Shape Amulet (Lalizan store on a table) - Hammer (Kagabangui blacksmith) - Water Blade (Kagabangui blacksmith) - Righteous Dagger (Kagabangui blacksmith on a table) - Black Blade (Magic store in Calterburry) For the next update, I currently plan: - The continuation of the main story events, so that the time skip phase has a proper start even without the sparkling book in your bedroom. - An event with full body CGs for the farmers Amara and Tabsy, which might also include some goblins. - Change to the lore about races as explained by Ellanore. - A new character for the brothel.

Update 24.07.05 Changes: - After finishing the war phase, you can get several new events in the "post war" phase of the time skip preview content. They're mostly about the three queens Palasha, Jeanne, and Varea, and how their nations and their roles change as result of the war. [You can access the test version of the time skip content when you interact with the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom in the castle of Aldlyn by selecting the "Time skip preview" option.] - The new events include two weddings, a coronation, and two different CG scenes. - The stories are all started with sparkling green icons on the map of the post war phase. They can be near Kagabangui, in Amagal, and in Begus near Ironholm Prison or Calterburry. The different stories are mostly in one line, which means a new icon appears once the previous step is done. At some point, the stories are combined into one story line, and therefore require the events of the other characters to be done first. - For one step of the events, the secret wedding with Jeanne and the wedding with Varea must be done before you can unlock it. - The end of the new events is the second big CG scene, which takes place in the castle of Aldlyn.

Bugfix update 24.06.03: - Fixed a problem with the country management map entry after using the war map. Either by going into the time skip test and back out, or by using the "teleport bug fix" option in the menu of the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom, the issue can get fixed in saves that already have the problem before this change was made. - A blue-! icon for characters at Havaria Port now shows where you can use a ship for travel. - Bonus battle 3 showed the old UI when reaching the time limit. This is fixed now.

Update 24.05.31 changes: - The war system in the time skip preview was advanced significantly: Battles in Amagal: 1. Yin Tower [Dialog with Joel and Yasmine before the battle of either the Yin or Yang Tower. The Yin Tower is defended by Yasmine.] 2. Yang Tower [Dialog with Joel and Yasmine before the battle of either the Yin or Yang Tower. The Yang Tower is defended by Joel.] 3. Barracks [The barracks are defended by Fulbertus. After your victory, if Atherune isn't captured yet, she'll hear about Fulbertus defeat and comment on it.] 4. Manastyr outside [Defended by Atherune. Story dialog with Zavier and Ryland before the battle.] 5. Manastyr inside [Defended by Zavier and Ryland. Zavier does an AoE attack each turn, Ryland "revives" the first time you defeat him. Story event after your victory, which unlocks the battles against Dorgania.] Battles in Dorgania: [The battles in the north are more difficult than in the south, but each battle gives the active vanguard squads permanent stat bonuses to make them stronger. This way, more battles give you more story and make the following battles easier.] 1. North Tower 1 [Defended by Lux.] 2. North Tower 2 [Defended by Wacko.] 3. Central Bridge [Defended by Alexandra. She retreats to Lualombo after the battle.] 4. Bridge near Sinasoka [When the Orchel elves are your allies, they'll sabotage/destroy the two barricades of the enemies.] 5. Newkungu [When you're married to Shanna, she'll get rid of one enemy unit after 3 turns.] 6. El Arma Gravesite [Time limit for the battle due to an incoming sandstorm.] 7. Tajurata Fort [Defended by Draven. After his defeat, he'll tell you more about the situation in Kagabangui and the reason for the war.] 8. Luolambo [Defended by Alexandra.] 9. Rakake [Defended by Loki.] 10. Siriveta [Defended by Gawyn.] 11. Sunee 12. Lalizan [Defended by Vaurghas.] 13. Minsk Harbour [You have the option to attack from the water or land at the start of the battle. When the chest isn't looted within a few turns, Phewyss comes with a ship, steals the treasure, and leaves.] 14. Kagabangui [Defended by Barnabe. Defeating him will finish the battle and leads to Dorgania's capitulation.] - I added four !-events on the war map, which increase the strength of your regular army. This strength value is used during the battles in which you pick the option to leave the fighting to your army, instead of using the vanguards to fight yourself. - Multiple other !-events show events and dialogs with different characters during the events of the war. - Ending the turn twice in the war phase after defeating Begus will make a new force appear from the east. They have a story at the start of the battle and after your first victory. Afterwards it turns into a repeatable bonus battle. - Added an achievement for winning the war against Dorgania after defeating Barnabe. Other changes: - Events and CG scene with Selka. Starts in the barracks of the vanguard forces when you speak with Selka after her squad reached level 3, and you had your first dialog with her in the barracks. - Changed Sparky's brawler battle against Brad to not show the small Brad next to the big CG of Sparky anymore. - Changes the costs of recruits for new vanguard squads from 4 to 2, as they're not as fast and easy to produce anymore as in the old system of the country management map. - Fixed an issue which caused Lind's CG to stay on the screen after her last battle. - Changed the face images of Icespirit in the first encounter with her to the new CG version. - Added a way to donate Wood and Stone items from your inventory on the country overview map. - Fixed the exit of the vanguard squad overview screen, so that it brings you back to the war map when you enter the screen from there.

Update 24.05.06 changes: - New brawler battles for Brad. One in the tower east of Kagabanui, one in the tower slightly south of the first tower, and after those two battles you can challenge their master in Lalizan. - In "Act 1" of the time skip events, the military commanders of the other nations are introduced in multiple events. A lot of them appear in casual clothes, while they will wear other outfits during the war phase. [You can access the test version of the time skip content when you interact with the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom in the castle of Aldlyn by selecting the "Time skip preview" option.] - The new military commanders have short dialogs before and after some of the battles in Begus during the war act of the time skip preview events. You can get these dialogs by using the icon over Aldlyn to replay the battles. (Terese near Parverhill, Robin at the border near Ironholm Prison, Godfreed near Witton, and the other three in the battle of Calterburry) - New event in the time skip act "Preg." It appears as a sparkling icon over Newkungu in Dorgania when both Shanna's and Naomi's events are far enough for it. After this event, the same sparkling icon will appear in the next act, and give you a CG scene with the two foxgirl sisters. - The lightning brawler Sparky, which you can meet in the Black Twin Towers of Honor, has a full body CG image now. She was added to the CG room page "Others 2." - New full body CG and character sprite for Flaire, the leader of the Thremten thieves guild. - Fixed a bug in Tsiom's event, which prevented you from progressing Brad's story with her when you changed to the level 200 class before doing her event. - Changed watchtowers on the worldmap to be "below" players, so that you can walk through them. - Fixed an issue with randomized battles in the black twin towers of honor. The next update will advance the war phase further, with new battles and more content about the military commanders of your enemies. Finishing the war phase will be the top priority for the next update(s).

Update 24.04.09 changes: - In Act 4 of the time skip, a !-icon appears at Aldlyn, which triggers an event to unlock a new area in the top left corner of the map. - The new area will introduce several new characters. - The events serve to teach you more about legendary monstergirls, and to introduce characters needed for the war phase later in the time skip. - The fairies on the special island in the brexeet isles were changed to have the same appearance as the fairies in the new area. - In Lalizan, when you chase Kippy, she now moves on the spot she is hiding behind the palm tree, to make it easier to find her. - When Kippy is hiding behind the palm tree, a new npc appears near the tent next to her. This trader is meant to guide you into that area where Kippy is hiding, but also unlocks a CG scene with his event. The trader stays in this location, even when you advanced Kippy's event. You just need Kippy's event to make him appear. - The scene of the new girl gives you a choice, which decides whether you see the CG scene or not, but the outcome is the same, as the girl will end up in your castle either way. She'll be in one of the rooms in the bottom of the sleeping chambers, where Coral and Lace can also be. It's possible to replay the CG scene of the girl regardless of which choice you picked. - Added a new full body CG image for Earthspirit in the forest of Ebron. - The CG for the scene with Earthspirit was remade, and the text changed to fit to the new images better. You can check all of the new CGs in the CG room, and replay the scene to see the new text. (CG room page "Non-human 3") - Added a remake of the full body CG of the Firespirit, including a version without flames in the nsfw dlc of the game. The new images can be seen in the CG room page "Non-human 3." - Changed the system of the red and blue flame in Lielle's treasure dungeon (with Tourax) to reduce lags due to parallel processes in the background. - The caravaan trader to buy usable items for the vanguards and exchange artifacts is back. It was gone after the recent changes to the overview map, since the old trading screen was removed. It's now available again as an icon near Aldlyn. - Fixed the text of Battle/Protection/Magic Knowledge, and Rune Stone research, to show the correct amount that you produced. - Fixed a bug that caused the old overview map UI to appear after vanguard battles. - Fixed a bug which caused f-Grey to stay in your group when leaving Frstenstein in a certain way. - Fixed a bug with the sparkling speech bubble icons for requests on the country management map. In saves in which they were unusable, using the "turn end" button once will reset the request icons and fix the issue. - Fixed an issue with the alchemy table in Whisperwind Farm, which caused the quest "Armor Breaking" not to finish properly. People who have the quest not marked as done due to this bug can use the teleport orb item to get the quest log updated.

Update 24.03.19 The main focus in this version was to change the country management map back to a turn system, and to improve the overall performance, since areas like the sneak mission with Elly below the church of Calterburry caused lags and freezes for multiple people. I originally planned to make those changes later, but the performance of the game seemed too important to keep delaying it. General changes: - New events with Grey in act 1 of the time skip preview. Requires the "beach scene" which unlocks after her events with the female adventurer trio. The event is split into multiple short parts, which are shown with sparkling icons on the map. (Make sure you've selected act 1.) - New scene with Mira in the act "Preg." of the time skip. Requires that Mira is pregnant and that you're married with her. - Cheat skill to reduce a monsters HP to 1. (Available in the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom. Works on the same enemies as the debug attack skill.) - Fixed a bug with Mirel's skilltree after class change. - Slightly changed the system in the background for the sneak mission in the church of Calterburry to get Elly's gun, as the amount of parallel processes caused lags for some peole. - The "Health" and "Mind" values of Lace on her bad route in the prison is now restored when you re-enter the secret prison from the hidden bedroom. Previously it slowly increased over time. - If you pick the option not to watch Lielle in the lake near Ebron, she'll now return when you re-enter the area twice, instead of appearing again after some minutes. Country management map: - On the country management map, when you interact with the big star icon to collect taxes, it now also gathered all values like freedom, faith, etc all at once from all buildings that increase them, and gives you the buffs if the value for the variable is at 100. This means, you don't have to gather them all by themselves, one by one, anymore - Removed the system of "construction teams" which limited how many constructions you can do at once on the country managemet map. - The real time system of constructions, researches, and so on, was changed back to a turn system, as it used to be. - You need "Logistic Points" to advance a turn on the overview map. They are automatically generated all 2,5 mins after you entered the management for the first time after this update. The "Logistic Points" are generated limitless, so the longer you do other things, the more turns you have available to do things on the country management map. - The new building "Logistic Center" can the constructed in the south of Central to generate an additional Logistic Point every 2,5 mins. (And there is a delegate who gives an additional points every 5 mins. - An icon with a joker card near the turn end button allows to cheat yourself +100 Logistic Points. - New "management screen" which gives you an overview of what resources you're producing, what researches are in progress, allows you to hire and appoint some delegates for bonuses, and several other things. - The UI of resources stored was removed. Instead, you're now shown how many of the resources you have stored in the text that mentions them. For example, if a trade offers "20x Iron [5] for 30x Budget [60]" it means that you have 5 Iron in your storage, and 60 Budget available. - Vanguards academy training +50 experience once per turn now. - Added a new extra training for vanguard squads. The icon appears near the barracks of the vanguard forces after 6-12 turns and requires the upgrade of the academy and the vanguard system to be unlocked. The training costs 40x Budget and gives +50 experience for a squad up to the max level 10, and then has a cooldown for 3-6 turns. - The following resources were removed from the managment map system, to make it less cluttered with barely needed objects: Stick, Plank, Steel Pickaxe, Mithril Pickaxe, Nail, Raw Clay, Roof Tile, Clay Brick, Sand, Glass, Window, Cement, Mortar, Cement Brick, and Fancy Mirror. - Removed resources that don't exist anymore from the requests that appear on the country management map. - Max storage value was changed. (30 base, +20 for storage building, +10 optional delegate bonus) - Overproduced resources now give either 1x Budget per type, or 1000 gold per type, or 2x Happiness and Reputation for your citizens. Which bonus you get can be chosen on the new management screen. - New building "market" can be build near Aldlyn. Requires the investment research. The market gives budget, but reduces safety when you gather it. In the market, you can exchange country Budget for gold your party can use. - The business below the command center now allows you to spend gold to increase your country budget. - New research in the university to get +10 Budget every 4 turns. This research continues endlessly, unless canceled manually. - Researches for Battle Knowledge, Protection Knowledge, Magic Knowledge, and Rune Stone in the university, and Builder Knowledge and Magic Dust in the laboratory are now done instantly instead of having a research time. You select how many you want to craft when you select the project on the research screen. The text will tell you how many of the required resources you have stored. - A new queue was added to the bottom right corner of the research screens of the laboratory and university. Here, you can spend budget to instantly finish the currently active research. (Instead of having to do it on the country map.) This costs 3x Budget per remaining turn, or 2 Budget per turn with an upgrade. - Equipment is bought on the new screen or in the armory. 5x Metal + 5x Budget -> 1x weapon or armor of that metal. (or wood for bows) - You can use delegates to get the army equipment level higher. This allows players to finally reach equipment level 10. Expeditions change: - Expidition can't become unable to finish due to full storage anymore. - Soldiers aren't always "consumed" for expeditions, but sometimes 1 doesn't return. - Expidition groups are visible on the management map while they prepare to depart. (only during the first few turns of their expedition) - Expiditions rewards can be gold, budget, resources, or promotions for soldiers. There is a small chance to get a unique permanent buff for each of the medium and long expedition types. (obtainable and different for each of the 6 groups) Trade changes: - There are 2-3 trade offers on the new management screen, which are randomized each turn. They have different offers for resources for sale or purchase. The color of the icon shows if they want to buy or sell things, and the number below the icon which group of items are offered. It's always a group of offers at once, not just a single offer. - Each turn, there is a chance for a random trade offer to appear at the border of Amagal, Begus, and Dorgania. They offer Budget to buy resources. Accepting the trade gives you +5 relationship with them. [Amagal pays more for magic resources like mana crystals, Begus for clothes, and Dorgania for building resources.] - There are special one-time trade offers that appear after X turns in the other countries, which increase the relationship with them by +10. Such one-time deals can give you a constant gold/budget income bonus. - When relationship with a country is at 100+, it'll go down each turn by 2. Which means it's possible to keep increasing the relationship with the nations beyond 100, but requires some effort to keep it high. - New (short) dialogs of Rylee and Carrie at Havaria Port when they are hired as delegates for the castle. - The tutorial icon text was adjusted to the new turn system. Due to the amount and type of changes, even with testing it for a while, the balance and micro management might still need improvement. In this regard, I'm happy about all feedback which helps me to refine the system.

Version 24.02.21 changes: - Act 1 of the time skip preview now has a dialog with Frall in Aldlyn, which unlocks a new dungeon area. [You can access the test version of the time skip content when you interact with the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom in the castle of Aldlyn by selecting the "Time skip preview" option.] - In the dungeons are level 80 willowisp enemies of different elements. - Each time you enter the dungeon, there is also a chance for a special rose or rainbow willowisp to appear. They have a 100% chance to drop a special book that increases the level of a party member by +1, up to level 99. The normal wisps have a 20% chance to drop the same book. - These enemies and the new item are supposed to make getting to level 99 at this stage of the game easier and faster, as level 99 will be required for the class change of the party members. The class change will set them to level 100 and increase their personal max level to 200. - The boss battle is meant for high level parties with legendary raid quality equipment. - After the boss battle, you randomly get one of six mini-games or a bonus area. - The battle and mini-games give you points, which you can use to buy special items. - The auto-save system is disabled during the boss battle and mini-game phase, to prevent save scamming. - After the first victory against the boss in the new dungeon, an event will appear on the time-skip screen near the entrance of the dungeon. It contains events with Frall about how to use the emblems for the class change of each party member. - It's possible to craft both legendary armors Belduro (druid class) and Airini (sniper class) in the nature raid for Mirel now, after she improved to her new class. - A new full body CG was given to the icespirit Aura. It's just a temporary image, as a new CG is already planned, so that all spirits will have full body CGs of the same, new artstyle eventually. - Aura also received a temporary CG scene. Similar to the full body image, this CG will be remade later. That's why I didn't make any events for the scene yet, but you can watch the preview of the scene in the CG room, on the "non-human 3" page. The full event around the scene will get added once the new CGs for it are done. - The max values for stats (HP, ATK, and so on) were increased for all party members, to adjust them for the new max level 200. - Bookworm? quest bug fixed (Quest didn't finish when you didn't have enough money the first time) - The Christmas dungeon 2023 entry was fixed (allowed you to walk through walls in that area) - New full body CG and character sprite for Alexandra Uscyra, the female commander with red hair from Lualombo in Dorgania. It can be seen when you talk with her, or in the CG room on the page of Dorgania.

Update 24.01.18 Changes: - New scene with Zaleria. Requires her scene with Ashryn, and Ashryn's solo CG scene. The event starts when you talk with Zaleria first, and then talk with Ashryn when she has a yellow ! above her head. - The entrance for the 2023 Christmas dungeon was moved from Ryen's bed to the present icon in the bottom right corner of the main party CG room page, where you can also replay other old Christmas events. - A green book icon was added above Aldlyn in the alpha test version for the war system. It allows you to replay unlocked story events of the war. - Fixed a bug with the replay of Vampire's beach bikini scene. - Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Knocky's dialog to not complete the quest step during the "Orchel Trading Route" quest. - Fixed a bug that caused Thaola's dialog to not complete the quest step during the "About Racism" quest.

Update 23.12.16 changes: When you go to sleep in your bed in the castle, a message will appear and ask you if you want to enter the 2023 Christmas special dream area. The area shows some dream events of the 12 party members, which give them permanent buffs, and you get tokens for the Christmas slot machine. Be warned. Since the area shows dreams, not everything in it might make sense. When you leave the area after finishing all 12 events, you'll receive a Riddle Key as bonus reward. A new event starts when you talk with Lind in the meeting room on the right side of the sleeping chambers in the castle of Aldlyn. It requires her previous CG scenes, and that the marriage system is unlocked to the point where you can pick a wife. It prepares her future wedding by advancing her relationship with Ryen, but the wedding itself isn't part of this update. In the test version for the war system (which you access via the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom), you can now fight the battles for Norhall Stronghold, Whitestone Citadel, and Calterburry, after capturing Meddling Castle and defending Parverhill. Calterburry has 2 battles when you fight with the vanguards, or an automatic sequence that plays when you let the army fight for you. After the battle of Calterburry, you get a story sequence, which is the current end of the war system. In a future update, the battles against Amagal will become available after this event. On turn 8 of the war test system, and when you make the right choice during the automatic battle at Whitestone Citadel, you get a permanent buff to the strength of your regular army for automatic battles. I added remakes of full body CGs for: Alcena, Lace, and Lind. Mira's full body CG in different art styles was changed to the same art style as her newer images. The title screen music was changed for the Christmas time. Since 2023 is getting to it's end, here are my "New Year's resolutions" (or in other words, my plans and priorities for the future game development.) A focus point for 2024 will be to finish the time skip events, so that I can hopefully end the main story in the post-time skip phase in 2025. There will still be a lot of unfinished and missing content after the story is done, to keep me busy for some more years, but I feel like it's important to get the main story done. The major part for the time skip events will be to finish the war with Begus, then with Amagal, and then the events of the war with Dorgania. Another important part of the priority content will be the missing weddings. Brad and multiple side characters are scheduled to get married, and will piece by piece get their events into the game during 2024. Of course, as before, I'll add some other side content here and there, but the time skip content, main story, and weddings, will be my highest priority. The remaining part of 2023 will be used to improve the wiki/walkthrough.

Changes: - An npc with a ! above his head will appear left of your castle in Aldlyn, near the inn, and start a new quest with Kurohime. Requires the previous events with Kurohime, and the event with her and Citrinne. - The quests "New Blade" and "Bow Maintenance" finish properly now. For anyone who finished either quest, but has it still active in the quest log, you can use the sparkling book in your bedroom and select [Bug fixes] -> "Fix quest log" to mark the quest as finished. - I added a one time option to gift money from your country budget to the capitals of Dorgania, Begus, and Amagal to improve your relationship with them by +10. - You can now use 15 Budget to request new trade offers from merchant from other contries on the trading screen. - Two cheats were added to the sparkling book in your bedroom. One to improve the relationship with Dorgania by +10 with each use, and another one to reduce relationship with a party member by -10, -25 or to 0. - Fixed a bug with the daily quests in the Black Twin Tower of Honor. - Fixed a bug which sometimes caused an error when you used the main entrances to the castle in Calterburry. - Fixed a bug with the White Silver quest, which didn't advance properly when you didn't have the silver ore for Allen immediately during the dialog with him.

Version 23.11.16 changes: - When you use your teleport orb after Jessy's CG scene, and with the wedding system unlocked, a new dialog with Jessy becomes available at the barracks, which unlocks the marriage with her. - The event with Jessy includes three mini games, and unlocks the option to fish in Aldlyn to get the Fish items without having to buy them. - You can replay the trip with Jessy via the CG room, which allows you to play the mini games again. - A bug with Mira's events was fixed.

Update 23.11.06 Changes: - I added a new CG scene when you talk with Vampire on the private beach of the island Amaranthe after marrying her. - A new quest becomes available at the Aldlyn city board with a bounty for the pirate Biggs, which unlocks new quests at the end for the wedding with Naomi and Shanna. For the bounty to appear on the city board, you require the wedding system to be unlocked, and the solo CG scenes with Shanna and Naomi, as well as their secret onsen scene. - Palasha's hair color was changed in all CG images. - Jackie and Lexi have received full body CGs and a remake for their CG scene. They can be seen in the CG room. (Lexi is now also in the CG room, on the page "Monstergirls 3") - The quest log was changed to a new system. In saves, when you're past the introduction dialog to the ministers when you first go into the castle in Aldlyn, the game will automatically start a background event within ~1 sec after loading the save file, to convey the old quest progress to the new quest log. This is a one time thing, and won't happen again, nor will it happen when you start a new game. [The phase between the start and the dialog with the ministers is a grey zone. The quest log won't get updated until you get the dialog with the ministers.] In some cases of this conversion in save files, the conditions for whether a quest was done or not didn't have a clear trigger in which the progress was saved, so some optional quests might get put into the "complete" category even if they weren't actually done. It's sadly necessary, but won't do any harm. Every other quest should be shown exactly the same in the new quest log as it was previously in the old version. I also changed one of the quests that previously ended as "failed" due to the story in it to be "complete" at the end. The change to the system is, apart from the visuals in the quest journal, just background stuff. The quests won't play any different than before, nor did the story of the quests change in any way. Please let me know if you like the quest window in the top right corner, or if it's a problem. Should it bother you, you can hide it in the options menu, but I'd still like to get the feedback, if it's a good addition.

The small update 23.10.02 adds several bugfixes, improvements, and a new dungeon area: - When you go to the secret mine area in Manastyr, and to the purple forest in the east of that area, you can talk with an NPC in the bottom right to get to a new area. Ryen has to be levle 45+ to be allowed to go into the new area. - In the new area, you have to fight monsters for "fuel" to activate switches, which'll make a boss enemy appear with a special combat style. This unique threat can be avoided for a while if you figure out the "trick" to deal with it. - The boss always drops 1 of 3 different equipment pieces. The two heavy armors can be used to fuse them together to one of two legendary heavy armors at the nature raid anvil screen. This crafting is always successful. The first result is random between the two option, the second attempt will always give you the missing legendary armor. Afterwards it becomes unavailable. - A bug which caused Ryen to be stuck looking into one direction after events at the time skip screen was fixed. - I added the option to use 1, 5, or all materials of the selected kind of bait while fishing in the nature raid dungeon. If it's a valid bait, you get the catch in the same amount. - I added the option to disassemble raid gun attachements in the fire raid anvil screen, and to craft the legendary AP Bullet Upgrade with purple weapon parts. - Less messages will show when planting crops in the nature raid dungeon now, if you have unlocked Kiki's challenge. (Which unlocks when you talk with her after defeating all three nature raid bosses.) Since the messages give the hint at what you have to do for the plants to grow, I didn't want them to disappear immediately, but at the point you defeated all three bosses, you should probably know how things work in the dungeon. - The effect for alcoholic drinks was changed, to fix a bug which caused other characters to get the special skills Elly gets while being drunk.

Update 23.09.25 changes: - The main part of this update is the preview for the "time skip" system and the first part for the war events. The "time skip" system will advance the events after the current end of the main story and is split into different phases. My plan is to keep adding to these phases over time, as it's too much to do it all at once, while also continuing the content of the "current" time. You can enter the "time skip preview" by using the sparkling book in Ryen's bedroom in the castle of Aldlyn. - Only the "pre-war" phase has events at first, where the story guides you to the war phase. There are some dialogs in the "pre-war" phase you only get when you have previously selected to prepare for war against that nation. - During the war phase, you can fight with the vanguards, or use a text based system if you want to get through the story faster. (Currently only Begus is available for war.) - The text based system has a random chance to win or lose battles, depending on various factors like army skill level, special equipment (like anti-cold armor), or choices during the dialogs. Losing a battle this way will cost you only Action Points. There is a special reward for finishing the battle at Meddling Castle within a time limit, but else there is no rush or limit to the AP or turns you have. - There are 8 battle locations for the current version of the war system: Near Witton, center border of Central and Begus, near Parverhill, the street in the north of Begus, Ironholm Prison, Diminus Castle, Meddling Castle, and one story battle after Meddling Castle. The story battle after Meddling Castle was secured is the current end of the test version. (There are no battles available for Amagal or Dorgania yet)
- At the start of the battle, you can now select to change the formation. It doesn't allow you to move the starting positions, but you can swap the squads with each others, for example, to put your melee units in front, and ranged units in the back. - In the formation phase, you can also change a squad on the battlefield to one of the unused squads from the reserve. - The formation phase allows you to look around the battlefield before you start the battle. - I added little icons to show how troops in vanguard battles are armed. - Fixed a bug which caused the previously used armor to disappear when you changed the armor of some vangaurd leaders to plain armor. - Fixed a bug which caused enemy melee squads in vanguard battles to counter ranged attacks. - I changed the white arrows of the "selection icon" you use to interact with things, for example on the country overview map, by adding a black border all around it. This way it's easier to see on white backgrounds. - New design for the list of items and equipment of the vanguard forces, and where to get it, to include the new war battles: https://i.ibb.co/GVnYSZt/Vanguard-item-list-tall.png For the next update, I plan to finish the vanguard battles and events for Begus (Whitestone Citadel, Norhall Stronghold, and Calterburry) and the war with Amagal. The future story will explain more about some of the things that happen during the war phase in this update.

Changes in version 23.08.24: - A new dungeon entrance was added to the area of the Shrine of Flunis. In this dungeon is a big door, which requires the events of 8 characters to unlock it: Akai: First meeting Neya: First meeting Aiyana: Good or bad end of her previous events. Mai: Good or bad reunion of her and Dea Dea: Good or bad reunion of her and Mai Coral: Lives in your castle Mozaik: Lives in Taby's farm Lili: Lives in your castle - After finishing the events in the new dungeon, and when you had the CG scene of Aiyana and Flora, Aiyana will move to the plaza in front of the castle of Aldlyn. Talking to her there will unlock a new CG scene. - Small change to Trey's blessing selection in the church of Aldlyn to show the name of the corresponding god when you select a blessing. - The way how drops for legendaries work in the raid dungeons was changed. Instead of using a check whether "it is in your inventory or equipped" the system now activates a trigger when you get a legendary, to prevent you from getting it again. This prevents issues with getting copies of legendaries when the party member with the item equipped is not in the party. Preview for the time skip system: I went deeper into the development and preparation of the time skip events, but there is no playable content for it yet. I know that people look forward to the phases about war, so it'll be one of the priorities and might get started in the next update. The phases won't get developed in chronological order, instead I'll go back and forth between the phases during the creation. Other priorities are the marriages for (female) Grey and Brad, which'll happen during the early phases of the time skip, when you made the required choices to be on that route of their events. - Please keep in mind that all of this is still a work in progress, and can change during the development. - The general idea is that you have multiple time phases, where you can select and watch different events on the worldmap. (The speech bubbles were edited onto the screenshot to symbolize events you can watch during the current phase. The final graphics might look different.) - Once the system is finished, you'd see these phases one by one in chronologic order, without being able to go back, but as long as things will be in development, it'll be possible to go back and forth, and even leave this screen to go back to the "current" time of the start of the game to continue your progress in the game.
The phases will include: - Act 1: Dialog about the main story continuation, and how you prepare for the future battle against Raziel, in case that he gets control over the titans. - Act 2: Shows the country changes and improves during your reign, and how it affects the people and their opinion about you. - Act 3: Events about Raziel's group, primarily about Emilia and Mio. - Act 4: About monstergirls and their changes. - Pre War: Story and preperations before war. - War: Battle phase in which you can fight against other countries with the vanguards, or play the story via text, if you want to avoid the strategy battle system. - Post War: Events with tell you about what the result of the war changed in Central and the other countries. - Act 5: The world changes as time progresses. + Events focusing about side characters. - Preg.: Girls will announce or notice their pregnancy. - Birth: Birth of your children. - Act 6: Time during which your children are still babies, and the story advances. - Children: Events of your childrens growth and childhood. Their personalities and unique traits will be shown. - Act 7: The events for your children continue, where they become old enough to plan their future professions. As the battle against Raziel comes closer, you're asked to select a successor from your children. - Act 8: Last preparations and story events before the final battle against Raziel. It's the last part of the time skip but there will be more content afterwards. (The mentioned content will be the main part of that phase. Small events with different characters will be scattered throughout the entire time skip phases.)

Version 23.08.08 changes: - New full body images for Grey in his old and new shape. The face images were changed to fit to his new looks. - After the events with Tsiom from the last update, you can talk with Brad at the sleeping chambers to get a new dialog. - The event will determine the future of Brad. One of the three choices will give you a dialog with Ash in Kagabangui, which leads to a new CG scene. - When you use the teleport orb after the events at Frstenstein, the event with Brad and Tsiom, and all previous events with Grey are done, a guard in front of the castle will get a !-icon above his head. The event will advance the story of Grey. - The event of Grey gives you access to a new dungeon area for the female adventurer group, which also unlocks the skilltree for them. The grinding for special pearls in the area for the skilltree is optional. You only need to find the chest with a unique item in it to advance Grey's events. The item unlocks a dialog with Grey in the castle in Aldlyn, which leads to a new CG scene.

Update 23.07.11 changes: The new content contains a chain of new events and several new CG scenes: - The first part is a new quest with the female adventurer trio. It unlocks when you talk with Trey at the sleeping chambers after using the teleport orb when the scene with f-Brad at the cavern of the enigmatic warlord is done. - After the quest at Frstenstein, you can do a race for a treasure, which also gives you a new CG scene afterwards. - The CG scene is required to unlock a new dialog with one of Lady Purple's guys. (Also requires that the marriage system is unlocked.) - This event will unlock a new wedding quest, and a new dialog with Tsiom when you finished all of her training with Brad and finished the fight between Brad and Grimace (regardless of the outcome). The new content for this update is done after the events with Tsiom and the new wedding. The next update will continue the story of Brad, give Grey new events, and maybe it'll have the first look into the time skip system, depending on how much I'll get done. I'm also not forgetting about the walkthrough and wiki, which need to get improved. Apart from adding missing content, feel free to let me know what you think would be important to add or change in the current walkthrough or in the wiki page.

Update 23.06.20 changes: - A new quest begins in the church of Aldlyn, when the marriage and vanguard systems are unlocked, and Tabsy's big farm and the military command center were build. The quest will unlock the vanguard squad leaders Eynhylde and Selka, and a CG scene with the nun Enaris. With this, all 20 vanguard squad leaders are now available. - After recruiting her, Selka can be found in the barracks of the vanguards for an additional dialog. - Cookie was moved from "Central 2" to "Others 1" in the CG room. - Eynhylde is on the page "Central 2" in the CG room, Selka is on the page "Non-human 2" - Since Scuffy and Della can't gain stats from equipping better weapons, you can now upgrade the weapons of their squads to make up for the missing stats. - The image for all normal and strong bandit enemies were changed. Out of curiosity, I made a poll so that you can let me know which character design you like more between the pegasus knight Eynhylde and the justice warrior Selka with her head wings: https://strawpoll.com/polls/61gDmwMbLZw Now that the matter of recruiting all vanguard squad leaders is done, which I wanted to take care of for a while, I can finally advance to the next priorities. The highest priorities for me now are to add the remaining weddings, and to start the time skip events. The "normal" events and CG scenes in the current time will also continue, but the focus will be on the weddings for the time being. And when I have the time, I want to improve the war system, wiki/walkthrough, and the country managment map. The time skip is planned to have several different phases, in which you'll see things like: - The continuation of the main story. - Events about how the country improves during the time and the world and buildings change. - The development of befriended monstergirls. - A war phase with events before, during, and after war. - Everything related to your children. (All after the war phase) How detailed these phases will be, and if some will get added or removed, will be decided while I make the content.

Changes: - New dialog with Aika Thanka in the bar of Calterburry when you unlocked the vanguard battle system, won the brawler fight of Brad versus Ash, and when you found the hellhound village in Amagal. The event will introduce her sisters Bennika and Angrika. Angrika will become a vanguard squad leader at the end of the events. - The lightning brawler Sparky appears in the Black Twin Towers of Honor when you finished Brad's solo challenge, and when you have the brawler stamp card. Brad can have a brawl fight against her after finishing her challenge area. Winning the brawl fight will give Brad and Ryen new skills. Sparky's current character and face images are just place holder. She is planned to get a full body CG image later, but I decided to added her events and character before the CG is done. - Changed the storage screen of the overview map to allow you to see what production is unlocked and what not, and tell you what you need to unlock it. The screen also gives you the option to pause productions that require other resources as materials now. - I added the option to disassemble "all weapons/armors except one of each type" to the anvil of the fire and nature raid. - The production rate for some resources of the overview map was increased.

Changes in version 23.05.06: - The dialog option of Cassedy to either annex the Luminous Order, or to make peace with them, are now unlocked and start new events. The battle route will include a bunch of new enemies, and takes longer to finish. When the peaceful route for the Order is done, the ship on the worldmap will take you directly into the facility of the Order, and when you leave the facility, it'll also give you the option to return to Central directly, without the need to go through the cave area every time. - After solving the future of the Luminous Order with either route, and when you have Scuffy as a vanguard leader, you can talk with Cassedy about soldiers with guns to get a new CG scene. - Added one cowgirl monstergirl to the top right corner of Lualombo. - The replay for the scene of Lace together with Irinlia can now be unlocked when they're both on different routes, not just when they're both on the good route. - I moved the icons of the characters in the top right corner during battles down by 30 pixel, so that the icons don't overlap with the text. Since some enemies on the right side were already close to the icons, let me know should you spot any encounters where the change does cause an issue. Thanks. - I lowered the priority for the icons of the country overview map buffs, so that many other buffs and debuffs are shown rather than those buffs in the menu and during battles. This'll ensure that, for example, you won't miss important debuffs in boss battles anymore, due to the country map buffs taking up all of the space for visible buffs/debuffs. - Changed the names of the "Small Spidergirl" and "Big Spidergirl" monstergirls to Arachne and Drider. - I changed all normal spider enemies (NOT the spider monstergirls) into rats, to make things easier for people with arachnophobia.

Version 23.04.15 is now available! Changes: - Scuffy Fluffball, the second gun squad leader for your vanguard forces, can now be recruited after you talk with Cassedy about gun squads when Della's gun squad is at level 3 or higher. She is on the page "Central 2" in the CG room. - You can now enter the gun factory which was build as part of Cassedy's events before you can recruit Della. - A dialog with Linda will start an event with her and Mary, which unlocks a new event and scene with Louise. For Louise's part of the events, you can find and talk with her in your bedroom after the events with Mary and Linda. The dialog to start the new events of the maids unlocks when you use the teleport orb after the CG scenes with Mary and Linda, and the dialogs of Louise and Elina until Louise stands in the treasury. - Fixed a bug with the start of Chiyo's and Varea's new event. - Fixed a bug with overview map UI icons appearing while you're not on the overview map. - Fixed and issue with a disabled teleport option after an event regarding Kayelinth's farm. - I added 5 new NPCs to the inside of the academy, to give it more life. Neither character has anything important to say though. - I changed some star icons on the overview map, to make it easier to see which building increases which stat of the country: Faith is light green/blue, Freedom is purple, Magic looks crazy, Knowledge is orange, Happiness is blue, Health is green, Safety is red, and Moral is the old yellow. I also moved the star for the freedom streets generate a bit away from Aldlyn, to make Aldlyn less cluttered with icons
The changes from the small update 23.04.05 are included in version 23.04.15: - New CGs for Jeanne's first CG scene. - I added the 2022 New Years Eve wallpaper image to the CG room. - Fixed a bug with the trigger for Saphielle's "Orchel Trading Route" quest. - I increased the amount of reputation skills you can use with the full 200 reputation before you drop below 100 and have to refill it from 10 to 15. - The work area near Aldlyn now sparkles when the upgrade is available after the carpenter and goldsmith research. - The icon to gather taxes on the overview map is a bigger star icon now. - The option to use Budget to speed up researches is now available directly on the research screens of the laboratory and the university. - Fixed a bug with the warface, tactics, and combat research of the university, which always claimed that the research would already be done. - The research/production of Builder/Battle/Protection/Magic Knowledge, Magic Dust, and Rune Stone in the laboratory/university can now be done multiple times at once. The price for instantly finishing the research is multiplied by the quantity you're researching/producing. The continuation of the events with Cassedy and the Luminous Order are prepared and will be done in the next update. I was originally planning to add them in this update, but they turned out so big that I decided to split them into their own update. If things go according to plan, I'll continue with the events of the Thanka family afterwards. The events will introduce the vanguard squad leader Angrika Thanka, which brings the 20 squad leaders close to completion.

- New event with Varea. It starts when you talk with Chiyo in the sleeping chambers after her wedding and the CG scene of Varea and Jeanne. - Fixed an issue with the sales of Dorgania on the trading screen. - Changed how Budget and Reputation numbers are shown in the UI to fix an issue with incorrect values getting displayed. - Changed the requirement for the "Research speed" research from country tier 3 to 2, since it's almost useless when you gotten to that point in the research tree. - The command center screen now recognizes it when you build the arena and the mines. - Fixed the dialog for Allisa in Orchel, and for Zonja in Sunee. - Fixed an issue with the paper research. - Fixed a bug which caused the construction team to be permanently busy when building the monsterhall or armory in Aldlyn. It's not possible to restore the construction team automatically in this case, but I added an option in the cheat book in your bedroom to turn all construction teams "available" again for those who suffer from this issue. - Fixed a bug that made recruiting new vanguard squad leaders impossible. - Fixed a bug which caused the training of good soldiers show that the storage would be full. - I added the missing prodution for leather. - Windows are now produced in the workshop. This way you don't need to research carpenter and goldsmith, and upgrade the work area with these two buildings, in order to get windows. - Fixed the cooldowns for trades. - On the trading screen, the resources other countries want to buy or sell aren't automatically the same anymore. - You now get some resource double for the same material cost, as long as your storage allows for it. You get 2x Steel for 1x Coal, 2x Silver for 1x Mithril Pickaxe, 2x Gold Dust for 1x Mithril Pickaxe, 2x Mithril Pickaxe for 1x Mithril, 2x Mithril for 1x Steel Pickaxe, and 2x Steel Pickaxe for 1x Steel This should improve the production for some complex resources. - Added a message after you collect taxes, that the values you get from it are the result of your setting on the finances screen. - Fixed a typo claiming that a papermill makes meat out of pigs. - The researches for the four Knowledge types, Magic Dust, and Rune Stone now block you from starting the "research" when the storage for these resources is full. - Fixed a bug with Sandra's event line. The construction of the mine in the south was not recognized by her event, and thus prevented players from advancing her events.

After receiving quite clear feedback from players, I made a bunch of changes to the new overview map system to improve it: - All resource production happens automatically in the background now once you have the necessary building for it. Research, training, and constructions still take real time. - Removed the constant decrease of Reputation, Faith, Freedom, Safety, Magic, Knowledge, Health, and Happiness for your country. - The max storage limit was removed. (If you load a save on the overview map, leave and re-enter to refresh the UI, since the storage amount was removed from the interface.) - Increased Reputation for easy requests from 20 to 30, and for medium requests from 30 to 50. - Expeditions don't consume the soldiers you send anymore, but expeditions take longer now. - I created buffs for when you collect country values when they're already at 100: Faith (+5% M.DEF) [Church, Shrine of Flunis] Freedom (+3% crit chance) [Streets, Newspaper] Safety (+5% DEF) [Watchtower, Fire station, Police HQ] Magic (+5% M.ATK) [Laboratory, University] Knowledge (+10% experience gained from battles) [School, Library] Health (+5% M.HP) [Bathhouse, Clinic] Happiness (+5% ATK) [Bar, Park] These buffs last for 40 turns in battles (the count is continued from battle to battle and is individual for each party member.) - The Shrine of Flunis now generates Faith, and the laboratory and university generate Magic. (Knowledge comes from the school and library buildings) - Recruits are now trained instantly. - Training of soldiers is not possible anymore when the max amount of them exists already. If you finished the training of a type of soldiers while they're at max capacity, you'll get a message which allows you to cancel the production. - You can now spend Budget to immediately finish researches and the training of soldiers. - You can now enter the research screens while a research is running. - The tutorial message was changed. - Fixed the "Protection Knowledge" research in the university, which was generating "Battle Knowledge" - Fixed a bunch of bugs with wrong productions and text messages. Please send me your feedback via mail to Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de

The main idea behind the changes in update 23.03.25 is to give the player a more active role in the country development, and to give you a reason to come back to the overview map every one in a while. Variables like your "Reputation" and the "Safety" or "Freedom" of your citizens are slowly decreasing when you do nothing against it, but they can be improved on the overview map. Reputation allows Ryen the use of new, powerful battle skills, but only while it's above a certain value. Therefore, the player has the choice whether to not care about these skills, or prepare himself before tough battles by raising his reputation again. [Some buildings on the overview map need to be constructed again, even if you unlocked them earlier in your save, since the triggers which saves what building is done was changed in some cases.] Changes: - The country overview map now has a real-time based system instead of a turn system. This means all productions and constructions happens in real time while the game is running. - The player has to actively gather resources that were produced once the production is done on this map. - All timers run even while you're not on the map. Which means you can start a bunch of slow production, leave the map, and come back later once they're done. - When you gather a produced resource, it'll show what you got with a picture that fades away, rather than a text message. You can move while the image is shown. This is intended to increase the pace of the system, otherwise it would be too many text windows that stop the player constantly. - The overview map doesn't use your gold anymore, but has it's own "Budget" system. You need a certain amount of available budget for construction projects. Budget is automatically generated over taxes, which the player can collect every few minutes, or by one of the new constructions. - The "Finances, Laws, and Policies" screen was adjust to the new country system. The choices on this screen now mostly affect what varibales like "Faith" for your country increase or decrease each time you collect the taxes. Due to the changes, most buttons on this screen were reset to the default option, and have to be manually set to your prefered way again when you continue an old save file. The finances screen can now be accessed via an icon on the overview map, not just from the dialog with the treasurer David in your throne room. - David does not give you gold from the country taxes anymore. - Several new resources and buildings were added to the country overview map. - All resource producing buildings have the option to show the recipes for their type of resources. - You can only have a limited amount of construction at the same time. Building the new "construction guild" will increase your amount of construction teams. - The values for things like "Safety" or "Happiness" of your country were changed. Buildings like watchtowers create such "Safety" over time, and the player has to gather it like a finished product. - The construction costs for all buildings on the overview map were changed, to fit to the new resources and the production speed. - It's not necessary to repair Bitterroot Farm to produce resources there anymore. Instead, the production is just slower until you had the events to repair the farm. - A storage screen shows you all the resources you have. You have a maximum limit for all resources together, but also an individual limit, to prevent people from spam producing everything without thinking about what they really need right now. If you gathered too many unnecessary resources, and it blocks your storage, you can throw away resources on this storage screen screen. - The costs to recruit new vanguard leaders has been adjusted to the new system. - The costs of the fortification upgrades in the command center screen were adjusted to the new system. - You get budget instead of supplies now as a possible reward for bonus battles. - Bonus battles now don't appear randomly anymore, but have a cooldown timer. The timer can be reduced with a research. - The laboratory and university now have separated research screens. The screen of the lab of the overview map and the general research when you go into the lab in character aren't connected by a "switch" button anymore. - The user interface shows you in the top left corner if constructions, training, researches, and requests are available, working, or done. It also shows the storage limit, your budget amount, and your reputation. - Variables like Reputation or "Safety" currently decrease every ~2,5 mins by a random value from 1 to 4. - A new trading screen, which you can access via an icon near Havaria Port on the overview map. - The crafting for vangaurd equipment in the armory, and the trading caravan in front of Aldlyn were removed from the country overview map. The caravaan can be found in a similar way on the new trading screen. - You automatically get the new key item "Country Management Map" when you are on the overview map, which allows you to enter the overview map from anywhere where you can use the teleport stone as well. - Intelligence service upgrade removed from Witton. - Horses were removed as a resource on the overview map. - Val's event which gave you +20 Recruits was removed. - Fire events were removed, but might return in a different way. - A "request" system gives you up to 6 randomized requests for resources. These requests go from simple to very complex, and increase the reputation value. The reputation from requests and expeditions is needed for some new skills: Supported Outburst: Does physical damage against one enemy. Costs 15 TP. The damage is 1x ATK higher than the normal attack, but has additional 2x ATK on top of it when the reputation is at 100 or higher. Supported Gust: Does magic wind element damage against all enemies. Costs 30 MP. Deals 2x M.ATK more damage while reputation is at 100 or higher. Supportive Shout: Heals 60% HP of all party members when your reputation is above 100, else 30%. Costs 50 MP. You get the first skill near the EXIT button once reputation is at 15+, the second skill near the windmill for flour after you build it and with Chiyo in your party, and the third skill near Thremten when the church was build and Mira is in your party. The use of such a skill reduces reputation by 10. Which means you have to increase your reputation again on the overview map after using the skills a few times. Due to the long development time and complexity of these new features in the overview map, I'd greatly appreciate all feedback for balancing and bug reports. I added new character sprites for Allisa, Ashryn, Cassedy, Cremia, Deulari, Elmyra, Fang, Manticore Mia, Naomi, Nemelphia, Rena, Rina, Waterspirit, Worilla, Zaleria, and Zentha. Thanks to Knightlock for his work with these sprites. He also made new sprites for Arevis, Baemeth, Spidergirls, Jiangshi, grey and red imps, and Citrinne. (Character sprites are the small figures that walk on the maps, not the full body CG images) For the next update, I plan to continue the events of Varea after the story with her and Jeanne. The idea is that it'll be a quick update, with Varea's events and all bug and spelling mistake fixes reported for the overview map changes, so that you don't have to wait too long for those fixes. Special shout-out to Themil who does an amazing job at improving the Renryuu wiki page!

Changes in update 23.02.08: - After the events of the dungeon below Meddling Castle of last update, and when you had the first CG scene with Jeanne, you can go to her room in the castle of Calterburry to get a new events advancing the political events of Amagal and Begus. The events end with a new side-character wedding. - The "Main" icon on the wedding screen, which you can use to toggle between main and side characters, was split into the two buttons "Main" and "Side," of which the inactive group is grey and the active group colored. I hope this will solve the problem, that some people don't realize that the button can be used to switch groups. - The stats of the Magic Leather Shoe+ were reduced for balancing. - The nun Enaris of the church in Aldlyn and the small elf Cookie now have full body CGs. (They're available in the CG room page "Central 2".) - Mirel's wedding ring now increases ATK and M.ATK, instead of only ATK. - The anvils in the fire and nature raid were changed, and now show you a special screen instead of text based options. - You can now upgrade each (main party) wedding ring at the nature raid anvil once. (Requires the Dusty Crafting Book from the fire raid.) - Fixed a bug which gave you a "Game Over" screen when the party split while Ryen had 0 HP, since the game thought the entire party was defeated. - I changed the CG room screen "Others 1" with all the maids to "Central 3" and moved Zonja to "Dorgania 1" and Louise from "Others 2" to "Central 3" so that Louise is with the other maids.

Update 23.01.19 changes: - A new questline with Adrianna, which starts when you talk with her in the bar of Calterburry after Adrianna's first CG scene, Elly's second scene (after the events with the Luminous Order) and after you supported Varea for the throne of Amagal. - New full body CGs for Queen Jeanne Apelia of Begus, the Magicspirit, Varea, and the maid Louise. (Can be seen when you talk with the character, or via the CG room) - In the CG room, next to the "Scene" icon, is now a counter which shows how many CG scenes the character has, and how many of them you have unlocked. - New full body CGs and character sprites for Kurohime. - After the spy mission with Kurohime in Luolambo (which unlocks her as a vanguard squad leader) and when you unlocked the private beach on the island Amaranthe, a new sparkling icon will appear near Witton on the overview map. The event will trigger a story with multiple events, which are all started via such a sparkling icon on the overview map. The last step is a yellow island icon above Havaria Port, which triggers a CG scene on the island Amaranthe. - I fixed a bug which caused the tentacles in the secret prison to appear when you used the CG room to watch the scene of Irinlia and Lace while you're on their good route.

Today, step by step, all countries in the world celebrate their start into the new year 2023. As my present to you for this special event, I made a summary of Renryuu in 2022, my plans for the next year, and my artist made a New Years celebration wallpaper for you with the winners of the side character polls from a while ago. The wallpaper is available in: 1600x1200 [4:3]: https://i.ibb.co/72S96NK/New-Years-Eve-2022-Wallpaper-Steam-1600-1200.png 1920x1080 [16:9]: https://i.ibb.co/7Vgtpgf/New-Years-Eve-2022-Wallpaper-Steam-1920-1080.png 3840x2160 [16:9]: https://i.ibb.co/Br6bWsj/New-Years-Eve-2022-Wallpaper-Steam-3840-2160.png [I had to remove Hellhound for the wallpaper on Steam. While nothing explicit is visible, I didn't want to take a risk and removed her for Steam. I hope you understand.] Renryuu in 2022: - A marriage system and the weddings for all main girls were added. - A second accessory slot was added for all party members, so that you can combine wedding rings with other accessory items. - The weddings with the first side characters, Mai and Dea, was added at the end of 2022. - A wiki for the game was created: https://renryuu.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page - All 20 vanguard squad leaders can now be used (some only as test version without character image) - Crafting is now available anywhere with Chiyo's "Alchemist" skill. - Daily quests and character specific challenges available via the "Black Twin Towers of Honor." - Adventures for the female genderbender trio. - A colorblind mode was added for riddles where color is important. - A card collection system was added with 180 unique cards. - An achievement system was added. - Renryuu had 21 game updates in total in 2022. Plans for 2023: - Most important: Advancing all planned content of the "current time" to move forward towards the time skip events. (This includes the CG scenes for characters that don't have one yet, and political events with the other countries.) - More weddings with side characters. - Further preparations and improvements for the war system. - Addition of the last vanguard leaders with character images. - More monstergirls. - Improve and finish the wiki with all important information. Have a good start into 2023 everyone!

Happy Holidays! The wedding for the first side characters is here! Version 22.12.24 adds new events with Mai and Dea, which'll unlock their marriage. The events also introduces a new and unique monstergirl called Nessa. The story starts when you talk with Lili in the castle of Aldlyn after you have all requirements: - Dea's previous good path events. [Solo scene with Dea in the secret hot spring] - Beach scene with Lili. - Marriage system unlocked. - Chiyo's events done to the point that Mozaik is living at the big farm in Central. - First dialog with Akai at the work area near Aldlyn. - I changed how the random encounters with purple flames in the "Black Twin Towers of Honor" work, so that they don't turn into different monsters at the end of the battle sometimes. - There was a bug that when you changed the armor on vanguard squads, the previous armor of the squad would disappear. This issue is fixed now.

Changes in update 22.12.06: - The vanguard leader Della now has new events and a CG scene. The last step of the dialogs requires that Della's squad is level 7 or higher. - Change to Della's aiming mini-game: Every few movements, the aiming image is certain to go to the middle of the target. - New ability "Alchemist" for Chiyo after the events about the alchemy equipment for her. (When you're past those events in Chiyo's story, she automatically learns the new skill when you talk with her in her sleeping chamber.) "Alchemst" replaces the dialog option for crafting, and allows you to open the crafting menu anywhere while you're out of combat. - Removed the word "Equip" from the choices when you change weapons, armors, or horses for vanguard squads, as the text was too long in a few cases. - The CG image in Mary's CG scene doesn't stay on the screen anymore, and the first image is now the updated CG art version. - The "Black Twin Towers of Honor" can now be build! A dialog with General Gnther about these towers becomes available when you use the teleport orb after you recruited all party members and finished the first floor of the Spire of Courage. The construction will be a big project with three increasingly expensive phases. In the tower itself, you can take three types of daily quests: Hunting, Fighting, and Speed. You can also do a solo challenge with each party member, which gives the character either a new skill or increased stats at the end. Most challenges usually have some sort of gimmick. About the daily quests: - The fighting quest has a different buff/debuff depending on which day it is: Monday: Everyone is confused and does random attacks at random targets in every battle. Tuesday: All party members have only 1% HP but +70% magic and physical evasion. Wednesday: Hit rate reduced by 50%, but +50% experience gained. Thursday: MP cost for skills *5 but the TP gain rate is tripled and TP is preserved between battles. Friday: -50% (M.)ATK but +30% crit chance Saturday: Gold and item drop chance doubled Sunday: -50% (M.)DEF but AGI tripled - The game checks what day is set in your system when you enter the tower, which means you have to leave and re-enter the tower when you want to update the day. - When the date changes while the game is running, it might be necessary to restart the game before it'll recognize the new date when you enter the tower. - You can do the daily quests more than once per day, but you'll get the full reward only once per day. A red orb turns green when the quest is done for the current day.

Update 22.10.13: - New quest "Bee Infestation" available via the Aldlyn city board after you had the Thremten festival events and the events with the Dark Sorceress to know about the dangerous forest near Thremten. After this quest, you can advance the events with the bee girls to get their CG scenes. - New quest "Vegetables Request" on the Aldlyn city board. Requires Sandra to be in your party. This quest brings you to the swamp south of Bitterroot Farm, to ensure that you find the chest for Sandra's events. - New option in the dialog with Lady Akira in the bathouse to change your choice about Grey's transformation if you picked to return him to his male shape earlier. - A new sparkling event in the tent where the game starts allows you to toggle the "colorblind mode" on and off now. This mode adds white letters on top of colored switches, levers, and crystals in areas where the color is important for riddles, so that colorblind people can solve them as well. (This mode doesn't change anything for objects where the color isn't important for a riddle. If you notice a riddle I forgot to upgrade with this mode, please let me know.) - You can now recruit Della as vanguard leader for a gun squad. The events start with a dialog with Cassedy in your sleeping chambers, after which you get the quest "The First Gun Squad." During this event, Della will be marked as "not recruited yet" if you used the cheat book to activate her earlier, but she will keep her level, skills and stats when you recruit her again. - The CGs for Mary's scene, Ryoko's scene in the clinic, and Sandra's first scene in the underground have been re-made to improve the art. All new and old CGs can be seen in the CG room. - The option to send the 4 slaves Grime, Miyako, Chieko and Glyntris to another country, or to set them free, when you buy them, was removed. If you picked either of those two options in the past, you can find the four girls in different places to fix your choice for them. Grime - Thremten, top right corner. Miyako - Havaria Port, below the dock to Amaranthe. Chieko - Bottom of Witton, near the empty tent. Glyntris - Parverhill, top left corner. The dialog for this event is very short, since it's more a "fix" than new content. - New character sprites for Arevis, Baemeth, big spidergirls, jiangshis, and the imps. Overview map and vanguard battles: - The placeholder character sprite for Della and her vanguard squad were changed to the proper images. - The messages for exp. gained and level ups for the academy now shows the name of the squad leader instead of the squad number. - The loot chest in the arena for vanguard squads is now special and can be opened by every squad. The lockpick ability is not needed for this chest. - In the arena battles, your turn now automatically ends when your AP are at 0 after an attack or movement. - In the arena battles, the blue movement tiles now automatically appear for the active squad at the start of a turn. - The "Turn X" message which appears at the start of turns in vanguard battles now automatically disappears after 1/4 sec. - A bug was fixed, which caused enemy squads not to attack flying squads when they were above unpassable terrain. - I made a new bonus battle map for the vanguards, primarily as a test for several new types of enemies: Dark Orcs = Use swords Brown Orcs = Use axes Iron Golem = Boss enemy using a lance, with high DEF Snakes = Bonus damage against mages (="Dagger" attack type) Skeletons = Use bows Ghost lights = Use magic attacks Ghosts = Use magic attacks (Like a "heavy" type = high DEF, low M.DEF) Hornets = Monster damage type (bonus damage against gun users) Wolves = Monster damage type (Moves during the opponents turn like cavalry troops) Jellyfish = Monster damage type

I uploaded the version 22.09.30 with a few bug fixes. Fixed issues: - The bug that the choice to leave the arena before finishing it re-appears after you left the arena is fixed. - The DEF and M.DEF values on the insane difficulty of the arena were decreased. The balancing for this difficulty might still be rough, and will be improved once I get some feedback. - The icons on the overview map for the sanitation upgrade, medical tents, and the emergency food reserve are fixed. - Fixed the siege preparations in Calbridge Stronghold.

Update 22.09.29 changes: - I added a second accessory slot for all characters. However, all characters in saves files from before this change will take off their shoes once when the new equipment slot is added by the system. - I added sounds to the riddle with colored orbs on the island with a big tree at the Brexeet isles to help colorblind people to solve the riddle. If you notice any other riddles that are impossible to solve for colorblind or deaf people, please let me know. - "Plant" enemies, Big Bat, Blue Slimegirl, Hornet, Alraunes, and Ice Alraunes got nerfed and are slightly weaker now. - I fixed the classes of the 3 adventurers that were added in last update, to allow them to wear the adventurer equipment. - All legendary weapons have red icons now, and all other weapons have yellow icons. - All legendary armors have orange icons now, and all other armors have green icons. - Almost all icons for items have the same color now, apart from a few exceptions, like riddle keys, which I wanted to stand out. Overview map changes/improvements: - The academy doesn't have to be used each turn by the player anymore. Instead, it gives 10 experience each turn automatically to level 1-3 squads, or 1-6 with the upgrade. Notification messages for gained experience and level up messages can be turned on or off when you interact with the icon above the academy. - The Arena is now a special vanguard battle map, on which you can fight several enemies with a single vanguard squad. The squads are grouped in 5 types: Balanced, Sturdy, Agile, Ranged, and Magic Supporter, with 4 squads per type. (Squads that you haven't recruited yet won't be shown in the choices as an option.) Each type gets a unique reward for the first clear of the map, and has 4 different randomized rewards afterwards, regardless of which squad of this type you use. For balance reasons, the enemies have 25% less DEF against sturdy squads (since the heavy squads have less ATK), 25% less ATK against ranged squads (since they have less DEF), and 50% less DEF against magic supporter (to give Phyrra a chance) The Arena battle is split in three phases. If you give up after the first/second phase, you get 15,000/35,000 gold. Your squad is healed by 30% when you continue to the next phase. (And a squad is always fully healed when it levels up) A normal loot chest appears in the third phase. - When a fire breaks out, the message will now tell you where the fire is, and the icon for the fire is sparkling to make it easier to spot it. - The storage near Red Keep now sparkles and has a hammer icon when you have the quest to upgrade it during the events in Orchel. - 5 new research projects: Siege weapons, stone towers, improved sanitation, and endlessly repeatable research options to increase wood and stone production. - When you plan to go to a war with another country (option with Theremis), you can now prepare improvements to the fortifications of the border in 4 steps on the special screen of the command center building. - Aldlyn, Parverhill, Witton, Calbridge Stronghold and Red Keep can take measures against sieges when you prepare for a war with a bordering country. (Begus for Parverhill and Witton, Dorgania for Calbridge Stronghold and Red Keep, and all three countries for Aldlyn.) The preparations have three steps for each city. The first step requires the new research for improved sanitation, the second step requires the work area near Aldlyn with the weaver, and the last step requires the bakery. - The interface of the overview map now displays how many sandwiches, furnitures, cakes, jewelry, and tea you have in your storage. The tutorial image which explains all icon was improved to show these 5 resources as well now. - The interface icons for beer and wine were improved. - 3 new repeatable trades with Begus. You can sell 15 Furniture to Ironholm Prison, 25 Jewelry to Calterburry, or 30 Sandwiches to Old Ashton now. The trade icon only appears when you have the necessary items. - 1 new repeatable trade of Mithril for Cakes with Dorgania. - These repeatable trades increase the relationship with the other country by +5 the first time you make them. - You can use the cheat book in your bedroom to test 5 new vanguard squad leaders when you pick the option "Test squad 16-20 [Aplha]" The CGs for the characters are far from being done, but I wanted to finish the system and all squads to make more battles without having to change a lot later. That's why the characters and squads use a colored placeholder character for the time being. Squad 18 are pegasus riders, who can fly over unpassable terrain, same as Leneth. Squad 20 is the squirrel girl "Scuffy Fluffball" who won the poll a while ago. Rather than a sniper gun with healing darts, I gave her a "Med-Kit" ability to heal allies instead. It fits better to her character design in my opinion.

Update 22.09.13 changes: - A new quest line starts when you talk with Trey after the events of Pandora and the events with the traitors in the castle. - The Riddle Key item can now be used at the brexeet isles in the dungeon of the island with the big tree, which is part of Sandra's events. It increases the timer before crystals reappear by 10 seconds without removing the riddle key from your inventory. - The Aldlyn city board now has a !-icon above it whenever a new note is available on the board. - I replaced Ariana's good and bad path CGs with improved images. - I added an option in Mike's dialog to allow the player to change his mind, if he picked to stop his support for the rebellion after the attack on Minsk Harbour, since that locked players out of the following events.

Update 22.08.28 changes: - Added a card collection system with currently 180 unique cards of 4 different rarity levels. The events to unlock the system starts with an NPC in the store in Calterburry. - There are three more traders for cards once the system is unlocked: In the castle library in Manastyr, in the herbalist store in Aldlyn, and in the north of Minsk Harbour. [There is currently no reward for completing the collection.] Bug fixes: - Fixed the broken exit of the castle in Calterburry. - You don't get the achievement Polygamy multiple times now, by entering the achievement screen. - When you have more than 1 Royal Coat, the additional coats are removed automatically when you enter the achievement screen. - The numbers of achievements was corrected from 19 to 20 in the message when you enter the achievement screen. - If you didn't unlock the CG scene with Ryoko and Mirel playing in the water at Amaranthe before doing the new events with Ryoko in which her body changes, the event will be skipped when you go to the location for it, but it'll still be unlocked for the CG room. - There was a bug which allowed you to marry Elly before the new events with her and Ryoko, which included Elly's new animated CG scene. The bug was fixed, and you can talk with Elly to play the events and unlock Ryoko's class change, even after her marriage. - The MP cost of the skill "Debug Attack" was changed to 0 MP instead of 1 MP. This way, Elly can also use the skill now.

Version 22.08.24 changes: - New quest for Ryoko, which starts when you talk with her at the sleeping chambers. Requires the first meeting with Akai in the workarea near Aldlyn, Shey's event including her help for Maria at the Ironholm prison, that you defeated Raidy in the Spire of Courage challenge floor to get to the raid area, and that all previous events for Elly and Ryoko are done. - After Ryoko's new quest, she becomes available for marriage via the marriage selection screen in the church of Aldlyn. - After Ryoko's new quest, a new dialog with Elly will be available, which unlocks a new CG scene and her marriage. (Requires the wedding system and the vanguard battle system to be unlocked.) - A 20th achievement was added to the game, which you receive after marrying all 9 main girls. - New CG room page "Others 3" - The "Boulder Riddle Reset" key item, which you receive at one of the brexeet isles, is now automatically removed from your inventory when you walk out of the area, and added to your inventory again when you enter it again after the chest with the item was opened. - Fixed a bug which caused the happiness value for Ryen to be wrong after entering the CG room under some circumstances.

We now have achievements in Renryuu! There are 19 achievements for now, of which 6 are "hidden" and don't show you what you have to do to unlock them. I plan to add some more achievements later, with in-game rewards in at least one case. You get an in-game message whenever you unlock an achievement, and you can enter an in-game achievement screen via the throne in your castle in Aldlyn to check how many achievements you have and which are missing. When you enter this new screen in an old save file, it automatically unlocks most achievements that you already achieved in your progress. Only a few cases didn't save the progress about it, so you'll have to do that again to get the achievement. The Steam achievements can be completed in different saves, but the in-game achievement screen is separate per save file.

Update 22.08.01 changes: - The new quest "The Situation in Begus" starts at the desk in your bedroom now. It requires the events about Maria and your journey to the water temple island to fight Katreena, the events with Elly and Adrianna, the sex scene with Queen Jeanne, and that you use the teleport orb once after all of the previously mentioned conditions are met. - After the new quest, you can talk with Adrianna again to get her CG scene. - The minimum damage range of troops in vanguard fights was changed to 1-5, instead of previously 0-0. This means units with high armor values will still take damage whenever they get hit. And that even weak units with low ATK can deal some damage whenever they attack. - Added a replay option for Tami's cooking event, so that people can see the event with all party member choices. - I changed the blue, yellow, and green buttons in Palasha's cave. They stay down while they're active now, and come back up when you deactivate them. This should make it easier to deactivate the grey crystal, since you can see which buttons are active. I also left a (rather obvious) hint about the grey crystal. - Changed the "Burn Magic" spell from the laboratory for Chiyo and Ryoko. The amount of burned MP now increases with the level of the user.

Update 22.07.15 changes: - New character with multiple events and CGs in Rakake in Dorgania. - Added a new quest with Fane (the maid) in Millwater, and a CG scene. The event starts when you talk with Fane in the kitchen after solving the murder case and catching Irinlia. - Added a new quest with Jillia (the mother) in Millwater, and a CG scene. This event also starts when you talk with her after solving the murder case. - New dialog with Jiliesh (the daughter) at the Spire of Courage challenge floor after the murder case is done. This dialog will unlock a new event with her at Millwater, which leads to her CG scene. - I changed the buttons in the nature dungeon at the brexeet isles. You can interact with them now while they're pushed down to make them pop up again. This'll solve a rare bug, and also allow people to quickly reset the crystals when they know they already messed up the route. - I made the image box of Shika during battles smaller, to prevent issues of selecting Funeral as the target instead of Shika. - New CG for Sia's second CG scene. The old and the new CG can both be seen in the CG room. - New full body CG for the Waterspirit. Can be seen when you talk with her in the dungeon in Siriveta, or after her events in the CG room.) - Fixed an issue with Shanna's and Ziki's new events, which caused it to reset. - Added an option in the cheat book in your bedroom to fix the issue with Shanna's and Ziki's event in your save file, if you already triggered the problem before the fix was added. - I changed the default setting for the new "Sync Monitor FPS" option to ON, as it somehow caused the game to speed up for some people while it was OFF. Please let me know, should putting the option to ON by default cause any problems for other people now.

Update 22.06.26 changes: - New quest with Mii in Pumumu. Requires the first night CG scene with Shanna. Unlocks a CG scene with Mii at the end. - After Mii's new quest, you can talk with Lartia to receive a new quest from her as well. It also unlocks a CG scene afterwards. - The house with the blue door in Pumumu can now be entered. It's the house of Mii and Lartia. - A path going north in Pumumu was added, which brings you to the Snow Forest. - There are three additional areas within the Snow Forest. When you go left at the top side you find the "mushroom fields" which are needed for Mii's quest. Up north is the Danger Mountain, where you can find (not-capturable) big harpies with new colors and skills. Defeating all of them will make a new boss enemy appear, who is needed during Lartia's quest. On the right side is the Dark Forest, which is used during an event with Shanna and Ziki. - When you go through the Snow Forest after Shanna's first night CG scene, you'll see her going east towards the Dark Forest area. This is the start of a new event with her and Ziki. At the end of this event, you can get a CG scene with each of those two girls in Pumumu. The weddings for Elly and Ryoko are postponed and won't be done in the next updates. Those events will be linked to a bigger story line, which requires some more images and planning before it'll be made.

Update 22.06.18 changes: - New event with Chiyo and Kayelinth, which starts when you talk with Chiyo at the sleeping chambers. Requires Chiyo's first night CG scene, Kayelinth's first night CG scene, the river scene with Chiyo and Kayelinth, the encounter with Raidy on the challenge floor of the Spire of Courage, and the dialog about stone plates as teleport options in Lalizan in Dorgania. - You can now marry Chiyo. Requires the Mystery forest event with Kayelinth, and that you advance the main story until Varea comes to your castle. - Added a "Monitor Synch FPS" option to the option menu, to help people who suffered poor performance due to FPS issues. - The teleport stones for Begus, Amagal, and Dorgania have no use anymore and can be sold. - The "Teleport Stone Central" was renamed to "Teleport Orb". - Instead of receiving multiple teleport stones, the teleport orb is "upgraded" with the coordinates for Amagal, Begus, and Dorgnaia, when you have the events about it. - Trey gives you the teleport orb after the introduction to the ministers in the throne room now, instead of requiring an additional dialog at the sleeping chambers. - Fixed a bug with the red button in the nature dungeon of the brexeet isles.

Update 22.06.03 changes: - Kayelinth is now available for marriage after her CG scene on the farm you build for her, and after the events with Jaylin about the different shapes of dragonics. - After her marriage, talk with Kayelinth again for a short quest, which'll give you a new CG scene with her. [Requires the CG scene with Kavrala in Orchel.] - In the nature dungeon below a big tree on one of the brexeet islands, where you have to run from button to button to get to the treasure while the crystals are gone, I changed the buttons to increase the time until the crystals re-appear slightly each time you press it. This is supposed to prevent people from getting stuck, as especially people playing with trackpads on laptops had a hard time to do the race properly. - The pimp Kuthy was added to the brothel in Central. She appears when you leave and re-enter the brothel after the CG scenes with a raijuu, cowgirl, blue slimegirl, red slimegirl, and green slimegirl. - I made a change to the teleport stones. They now bring you to the same screen as the teleport stone plates, which you can unlock in different locations after learning about them in Dorgania. This way you can access the entire teleport network from everywhere where teleporting is allowed.

Update 22.05.18: - Mira can now be selected on the special marriage screen in the church of Aldlyn. It requires Vampire to be in the party, and Mira's previous events to be done. - The events unlock a CG scene with Maria, when you talk with her again after Mira's wedding. - Vampire's wedding on the marriage screen becomes available after Mira's wedding is done. It requires the previous events of Vampire to be done, including the encounter with Neya in Kagabangui, the dragonic event which unlock Ryen's dragonic powers, and the blowjob with Mira and Vampire. - When you use a Fertility Potion, you now get the choice whether to use only one or all Fertility Potions that you have. - Gentle Strike was improved from 300 to 400 damage. - The new item "Thunder Trap" can be purchased in the magic shop in Witton now. It's like the former gentle strike skill as an item, and does 300 damage without killing the opponent.

The update 22.04.25 has no new content, but fixes a few small bugs and issues: - A new item in a chest at the start of the dry stone island (noulder riddle) will allow you to reset the riddle now. This'll prevent people from getting stuck when they mess up too badly. - Fixed a bug that caused you to lose war horses, and thus broke the displayed amount of horses that you have. - Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed you to use teleport stones in restricted areas when you used the skilltree or CG room. - Changed the ship to always spawn next to the main island of the brexeet isles when you leave the main base. This'll allow people to get back their ship, should they've used the teleport stone earlier and "lost" it. - Fixed Mira's Reflection skill. - Reduced the DEF value of enemies in the last vanguard battle against Lind, to make the fight more balanced. Preview for the next update: - Our lovely angel Mira will have a new event in the next update, which'll unlock her wedding.

Update 22.04.17 changes: - New quest and eventline with Sandra. It starts in Havaria port, where you can find the thief Shirinsya from Moriko's events again. Requires the events with Flaire to get the gold armor and weapon recipes first, Sandra needs to be in your party and her previous events must be done, and Moriko's events must be past the choice for her good or bad route in the police HQ. - The quest will bring you to the new area "The forgotten brexeet isles" where you can visit 10 islands. The islands each have riddles or battles for high rewards, which usually include a lot of gold, skillstones or love potions. Items that increase stats are always unique and can't be obtained again in that location. The normal riddle or battle rewards are reset when you go back to Central, so they can be repeated. - After this new quest, Sandra is unlocked on the wedding screen in the church of Aldlyn as an option for marriage. - The new brawler Tsiom can fight with Brad and teach him 3 new skills in 4 training sessions. The training can be replayed via the CG room. - Changed the hints of the monstergirls in the CG room. It now mentions a specific location in which some of that type can be found, and when you had the events about capturing monstergirls, the hint will also mention where you can release them. - Fixed the crafting of goldbars with gold ore.

Changes in the update to version 22.03.30: - When you have all party members, and their relationship with Ryen at 100 or higher, Trey will have a new dialog at the sleeping chambers. His quest "Marriage" will guide you through the process of marrying one of your girls. However, at the moment only Tsubaki and Mirel are available. - After advancing the events for Mirel's wedding, you unlock a CG scene with Liana, which also unlocks a new CG scene with Ryen and Mirel. - A new category was added for the CG room options for Tsubaki and Mirel, to replay major events like the proposal and wedding. Other characters will also get such a category later, and I consider to add some old events to this as well, to allow the players to re-play funny or important story events. - Little detail: Each wedding will add or change something in your bedroom, as you receive wedding gifts that remind you of the character. - Tsubaki's CG when you start the game was updated. - I fixed a bug with Kayelinth's "Veggy Lover" skill in her skill tree. It healed/damaged 500 HP instead of increasing/decreasing the max HP when you learned/unlearned the skill. Please reset and re-learn the skill if you want the proper effect from it.

Changes in the update to version 22.03.15: - Jiangshi are now capturable. That includes the 2 that you can find in the dungeon below Witton during the second attack on the assassins with the thieves guild of Flaire, and 4 new Jiangshi in the black lair dungeon in Dorgania. The captured jiangshi can be released at the graveyard in Central. Giving them items and petting them increases the relationship. Give them the item they want with a relationship at 100 to unlock a CG scene. - New drop for jiangshi enemies: The "Magic Jiangshi Seal" can be used on enemies in battle for a 70% chance to blind them. - New quest and CG scene with the red succubus Nemorvyra. - I moved Kippy in the CG room from the page "Non-human 2" to "Dorgania 1". - When you had the first meeting with Hellhound in the dungeon below Old Ashton, and met Kippy in Lalizan, you could see Hellhound chasing Kippy on top of a building in Kagabangui. There are new steps to these events now. After entering Kagabanui four times while those two are running around on top of the building, you can walk past the building, one tile left of the entrance door, to trigger an event. Afterwards you can find the two girls again at the Black Lair (Orange stone building south of Kagabangui, which only serves as an entrance to a dungeon), and then in Rakake. Once you had the dialog in Rakake, Kippy will be in Lalizan, and you can get a CG scene when you talk with her there. - New purchasable scroll to increase Ryen's eloquence by +3 in the shop in Diminus Castle. This was added to ensure that Ryen's eloquence will always be able to get to at least 15, even if you make some bad choices. - New area "Mount Alberrane," which you can enter by following the path on the left side of Parverhill down south. (Not accessible via the worldmap. Only through Parverhill.) - The new character "Rhethos" will appear in Aldlyn, between the clinic and the teleport stone plate, when you have Ellanore in your castle and advanced her dialog about the different races of monsters. The dialog with Rhethos will give you a new quest, which'll guide you to Mount Alberrane. The final battle during this quest can be failed in multiple ways, but you can leave and re-enter the area to try again. - I added a new CG room page "Monstergirls 4" for the new monstergirls. - A CG scene with Ellanore will unlock after you've finished the new quest with Ellanore. - The hard arena battles are now easier for some squad leaders, to make things more balanced.

Changes in version 22.03.02: - The small quest "Letter of Friendship" is now available in Aldlyn. You need Brad and Sandra in your group, open borders with Dorgania, the events with Mike and the release of a vampire in Kagabangui done, and the dialog with King Lancafew about his opinion on slavery. Once you have all of these requirements, a guy with black hair will appear near the fountains in the middle of Aldlyn. He'll give you the quest to deliver a letter to his friend in Kagabangui. The main purpose of this short quest is to guide people to the location of the half burned note lying on the ground in Kagabangui, which was added several updates ago, since this note is necessary to advance the events of the rebels but could be missed by players. - Government route events of the rebellion are now done, and let you unlock the existing CG scene with Sinrul on this path as well now. - Added re-made CGs for Flora's sex scene. - The woman selling "Stinky Lotion" and "Obedience Drug" in Siriveta during the events of the rebel route in Dorgania now also sells those things to players on the government route when you've advanced the events far enough. - After finishing the quest to arrest all rebels, if you freed the vampire during the events with Mike, you can find the vampire and a former rebel in a tent in Newkungu. - Added Flaire's good path CG scene. The event starts after you talk with Flaire in her house at the thieves guild below Thremten, after you finished the second attack against the assassins and chose to help Flaire instead of betraying her. - Added a full body CG for Vivian when you talk with her at the noble's living quarters or at the monsterhall. - New CG scene with Vivian. The events for it start when you talk with her in the monsterhall after her oral scene, and her first dialog about the monsterhall. - New CG scene with Dea. It starts with a dialog in your bedroom, when you had Dea's first CG scene, unlocked the secret onsen (and the peeping hole is open), and you had the scene with Sara and her Kunoichi in Aldlyn. - New CG scene with Sara and her kunoichi. The scene becomes available after the new events with Dea.

Update 22.02.18 is now available and has the following content: 1. The continuation of the events with the box you got from Bristol in the content of the previous update. You start the event by interacting with the box in your bedroom. 2. You can now access the war system alpha test via the cheat book in your bedroom. The system isn't done yet, by far, but serves as a proof of concept to show you what to expect. It's mainly missing a lot of dialogs to show the story of the war for each country, and the vanguard battles in Begus and Dorgania. The main idea is that you either have a lot of vanguard battles that you can take part in, or dialog and choice based battles, for people that don't like the vanguard battle system. Please note that all dialogs and events in the war system might get changed later. What is already included in the war system test? - Movement of Centrals ATK forces. - Vanguard battles against Amagal, including a two step siege battle against Manastyr. - You can get the following vanguard items from the war battles in Amagal: Quick Sword, Mithril Dagger, Magic Dagger, Magic Bow, Crystal Rod, Steel Hammer, Good Horse, Nromal Armored Horse, Great Light Armor, Great Medium Armor, and Great Heavy Armor. - Replay option for all battles. - Shop to replace the caravan. The shop is always available. - AP system (Action Points) - Simplified battle against opponents when you select to leave the battle to the army. - Little flags appear on conquered locations. Gimmicks: - On the command center screen, you can set how much percent of your forces are designated to different locations. If the value of ATK forces at Amagal are 10% or lower, you have a 25% chance to lose the battle at the Yin Tower when you leave the fighting to your army. - When you had Dai-Xinyue's first scene, you can ask for the help of her hellhounds during the battle at the barracks in Amagal. It has a 25% chance to go wrong though. (Doesn't affect anything at the moment.) - Dialogs or events at turn 3, 5 and 6. These will be a lot more, and to some degree randomized, in the future. - Option to attack Dorgania over the sea. - Ambush when you attack the 2nd troops of Dorgania with the ATK forces near Thremten. The wrong choice will cost 1 additional AP. - When you advance the ATK troops in the south of Dorgania, they'll start a counter attack. - When you advance the ATK troops in the south of Begus, they'll start a counter attack. Features for the war system that aren't done yet: - All vanguard battles in Begus, Dorgania, and Central, with more special features and boss enemies. - Events about or affected by the fortification you can build. - Events affected by the finances screen variables, for example happiness could give you +1 AP. - More enemy attacks. - More ways that you can lose battles. - More story events and choices. - Events for siege against capitals, with meaningful choices for the player. - Events about Varea in Amagal, if she is Queen, and how Chiyo reacts. - Events about Queen Appelia and the Church in Begus. - Events about the rebels in Dorgania during the war, and how your choices with them affect the war. - Attacks of bandits or enemy forces within Central. (Vanguard fight or use 2-3 AP to solve battle. Ignore = 1 DEF troop lost.) - More events with named side characters or from special locations, for example: Kurohime, Pumumu, Redwood family, Orchel, Sia, Spirits. - Effect of breaking the non-agression treaty with Dorgania. (-1 max AP?) - Events for the preparations before the war, and what they affect during the war. (For example increase of max AP) - Events for when a war is won. - Event for when ALL wars are done. - Event for when you reach the deadline. Things to affect events during the war: - Construction of watchtowers. - Army percentages set at the command center screen. - Army skill and equipment level. - Fortification. - Production of food like fish, meat, cheese and so on improved the gain of supplies -> Chance for extra AP? Or a moral boost when your moral gets too low? - Production of furniture and such luxury items will increase the war support -> Chance for extra AP? Or a moral boost when your moral gets too low? Please let me know if the war battles in Amagal are too hard or too easy, or if the balancing is okay.

The update 22.01.28 for Renryuu: Ascension is now available! Changes: - Added an exchange system for the vanguard's artifacts to the caravaan which appears every few turns in front of Aldlyn on the overview map. - When you're on the route to help Mike and the rebels in Dorgania, you get three new quests from him. The last quest leads to a CG scene with Sinrul. [This scene will also become available on the government route of the events in Dorgania in a future update.] - 2 new items become available in during one of the new quests with Mike: Stinky Lotion protects you from random encounters for 100 steps, and the Obedience Drug will preserve your TPs for the next battle for 50 steps. - "Monster Repel Perfume" protects you from random encounters for 50 steps and can be bought from the herbalist in Aldlyn. (It's the weaker version of the Stinky Lotion) - New armor "Stinky Coat" can be bought in Calterburry. - "Safety Shoes" can now be bought in Kagabangui. - "Talisman of Preservation" can be bought in Crysthaven, until Elly's events are advanced so far that the trader disappears. It can also be found in a chest in the prison in Luolambo. - Fixed a bug with Nina's event. - Added an anti-frustration system to the spike riddle during the second attack against the assassins with Flaire and her thieves. The system will automatically disable all spikes after you failed too often. - New event when you talk with Trey at the sleeping chambers. Requires the laboratory on the overview map built, the vanguard battle system to be unlocked, the first appearance of female Ryen at the bathhouse, and the sex scene with Kavrala. - The laboratory in Central now has a proper map, and can be entered via the worldmap after it was built. - You can buy a scroll to increase Ryen's eloquence by 3 in Lalizan and Siriveta now.

The update 22.01.12 for Renryuu: Ascension is now available! Changes: - When you talk with Nina in the bakery, you can pay 2,000 gold for a group baking lesson. The more party members you have, the more chaotic the entire event gets. Afterwards, you have the option to "come back alone later" when you re-enter the bakery from outside. This options starts a CG scene with Nina. - New events with Jaylin and Kayelinth, which start when you talk to Jaylin in the treasury (stairs down in the top center of the sleeping chambers, next to Kayelinth). Requires that you built Kayelinth's farm, and that you had the events to unlock Ryen's dragonic powers. - To ensure that there is no display error with the army and equipment level in the command center screen, the value is now corrected when you re-enter the screen. It's possible that you have to re-do the elite training if the value got broken for you earlier, as the system used the value of the army skill level to save if the training is done. - I replaced the CGs of Jaylin's first encounter with her new full body CGs. The old CGs weren't replaced because I didn't like them, but the old artist isn't around anymore. So in order to make more variations of her full body images, I needed to replaced them. The old CGs can still be seen in the CG room.

The previously announced adult patch DLC for Renryuu was approved by Steam and became ready for the public release faster than I expected. Instead of having to wait two more weeks, it's already available! This patch removes all censorship from images with adult content, and disables the automatic skip of sex scenes of the SFW release version. You can continue to play the progress in your save files after applying the patch without problem. If you want to see scenes that you missed in your saves before applying the adult patch, you can go to the "CG room" in the menu to replay those scenes.

Happy New Year everyone! After some discussions in the community hub, and after talking with the steam support, I've decided to release the aduilt patch for Renryuu on Steam! The patch will remove all censorship in the game, and adult scenes won't get skipped anymore. In retrospect, it would've been better to release the dlc together with the base game on day one, but I guess I worried a bit too much about my first release on steam. I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused to some people, and I hope you understand that I only wanted to be on the safe side. Due to the Steam guidelines, and some testing and checks that are still needed, the DLC will be released in approximately two weeks. Of course, the patch will be available for free. The next content update will still take a while. It'll contain the second part of the Christmas/New Years events, with the CG scene of the baker girl Nina. There are some other characters and events high on the to-do list, and I'm also planning to continue the Dorgania rebellion events in this or the next update. A CG scene for Sinrul is already prepared and should find it's way into the game soon! I wish you all a good start into 2022!

Update 21.12.18 changes: - Added "University" and "Archery range" construction projects to the overview map. - The invitation to the Spire of Courage challenge floor now appears on the Aldlyn city board after finishing the advanced floor in the Spire, regardless of whether or not you encountered Hellhound in it. - I created a new screen for the command center building, with the status of your army and some new options to improve your forces. It can be accessed from the overview map. [The events on this screen for the fortification of your borders and for the intel on other countries don't exist yet.] - The "declare war" option in the dialog with Theremis was changed to "prepare for war" and can be triggered now. This has no effect for Amagal and Begus yet. For Dorgania it'll unlock a spy mission with Kurohime. (also requires the event with Lady Akira to be advanced) - 8 new squad leaders. You get hints in the command center for where you can recruit the new vangaurd squad leaders. - New event with Mai and Dea. After talking with the baker girl Nina at the bakery in Central (which you can build on the overview map), the scene starts automatically when you walk out of the bakery. (Requires that you had Dea's first scene, and that Mai is on her good path) This scene will also unlock the christmas special area. If Mai is on her bad path for you, you can't unlock the scene at the bakery. Instead, you can replay the scene via the CG room if her bad path is far enough, and unlock the christmas area that way. - For the christmas special, several new dungeons, riddles, special battles, items and legendary equipment were added to the game. A special feature in the christmas area is a slot machine system, where you can get a bunch of different rewards in return for tokens. - A new vanguard bonus battle was added. It's random which of the two bonus battles you get when you start the mission. The new map has the special feature that as long as a certain enemy mage squad is alive, a random vangaurd squad takes 5 damage at the start of the turn from long range fire magic. - New CG scene with Kurohime available on the overview map (in the forest east of Aldlyn) after recruiting her as a squad leader. Small changes: - After talking with Flaire for the first time at the thieves guild hideout, the hidden stair in the storage in Thremten will have the dialog option to bring you directly to the hideout, instead of forcing you to walk through the sewer area again. - You don't receive hammer and scythe items anymore during Kayelinth's secret garden events, to avoid filling your inventory with unnecessary stuff. Both can be sold for 20,000 gold now, so that you can get rid of them in save files where you already obtained them. - I greatly reduced the insignia costs of items in the special shop of the Spire of Courage. - Slightly changed to inside of the castle in Manastyr, to make the entrances to some doors at the bottom of the hallway more obvious, since people sometimes missed the entrance to Varea's room. - Fixed the spelling mistake of "relationships" in the skilltrees. - The new item "Love Letter" gives +10 relationship, without limitation.
