Can you add full screen to android? When I click the full screen it just makes it a tiny bigger, can you make it to where it will fit the whole screen and leave no black edges? Thank you
Is their a current walk through in the game? Because ive been attempting to do this sawmill quest for a min now and i am un able to determine where the house is to retrieve the mirror.
Not at the moment... but the next version will bring a quest system, which will solve most of these problems... We are working on it now. At the moment you can use the spoiler channel on our Discord server. People there will help you. If you got the mirror, you need to give it to Rebecca (the girl who gave you the key).
Yes... because the android build is web-based. So... not all time, but the game will download assets on demand... and after that, it will stay in the cache of the phone... but when you enter a new map for example, it will download the map.
We currently have the #spoiler-section channel in our Discord server (https://discord.gg/nDDAgAQArq), where people ask how to do something... and a guy is putting how to get pictures in Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/questforthedreamgirl/). Still, we are preparing a quest system for the next version (0.8.0), so you can "follow" the quests and we think it will help so much and improve the game.
Indeed, I posted about it on our Discord server this week... I'll paste it here:
We are developing the game for you! A developer, when he creates a game, it's not much fun for him to play the game itself, but to see other players having fun and discovering things in the game! That's the good part! That's why we care.
We regularly receive criticism because we removed content from the game at that time (NTR). Speaking of which the developer has to decide what is or is not in the game, not the players.
But this is the point! It wasn't the players who removed it... it was our decision... we devs thought this would make the game more enjoyable for the majority at the moment, so we intend to include this content in the future in another way.
A good example of this is that many players request fetishes such as rape or any type of non-consensual sexual intercourse, and we are not going to put this in the game, because we developers do not agree with this type of attitude, so we do not think it is right to encourage this behavior, even if in the game.
Therefore, we will continue to ask and listen to the community, despite the criticism at times... and if we need to change any part of the game, we will change it as many times as necessary... the game is still in development... and we want to deliver a very good product. well... that pleases the vast majority of the public! We know it won't be perfect for everyone... but let it be as much as possible.
We are releasing version 0.7.0 tomorrow (it will bring updates to Aria's story), and we are already working on version 0.8.0 (which will bring updates to Foxie's story). After that, we will start to work at 0.9.0 which will bring updates to Bianca's story... will be the first time we will have a decision that changes the story (non-linear), you will need to choose a way to go... One of them will culminate in the NTR, but the NTR will not be present in that update yet. We need one more upgrade at Bianca's story to bring the NTR scene back... maybe it will be at 0.10.0.
Literally bowed down and removed content because a few babies cried NTR. The the worst thing I can possible see devs do is removing content from their game and I will never support anyone who ever does that.
it's a pity you think so... but the game is still in the early stages of development, and we are not making the game for us developers, but to please the community... During the development process, we decided to give an active voice to the community to try to balance the game in the best possible way... the NTR content was placed in a way that is a mandatory storyline... we decided to remove it so that we can put this content back in the future, optionally, depending on the choices... so we can respect the wishes of all players... those who like the content and those who don't.
Anyway, thanks for the honest review! We need reviews like this so that, until the final version, we can improve the game, based on your opinions, and the way we developers think it will be better
But we aim to please most of the players. And at that point, we were displeasing most of those playing. That's why we decided to cut it at that moment and put it in an alternative story route in the future. By the way... thanks for the advice man!
I'm sad that you didn't like the game... we're trying to improve it even more... like in the next version that will be released in the next few days, we've improved the economy and added upgrades to the farm.
But anyway, thanks for playing it, and giving us these reviews here. We need this kind of information so that we can improve our game!
If you click on the link, it will download a .apk file. It is the game file for android... you need to run its file on your phone. We can't put it directly in the Play Store because of the +18 content.
Ahhh! that's because the RPG Maker (the game engine of the game) exports the Android version to use a web version... so... we have the web version... the Android downloads the maps on demand from the web version... and let it in your phone... when we update the web, it download the changes, so you don't even need to update the APK. Just in case we switch our webserver.
Its pretty fucking good 9/10. imo there was alot of empty space that wasent used for enything (i think) and thats like the only "bad" part of the game lol. Art style felt like it was getting better and better the longer i played it. Idk what else to say im hyped for the future patches!
First of all, sorry for the delayed response! Thank you for the compliments! We are trying to improve the game more and more! There is a huge amount of empty space at the moment, but with each update, we are bringing more life to these spaces with new characters. Unfortunately, as the game is not yet our main job, we can't dedicate as much time as we'd like to release updates faster, but slowly we're putting things in place, mainly with the help of community suggestions. Art then is an exciting point! Our artist didn't have much experience at first, but with each day she is striving to improve more and more! =D Anyway, thanks, and I hope you like the news we will bring you soon.
We avoid giving spoilers here (you can use discord... and there is a picture showing the way to the swamps there... but...
<SPOILER>
Go out of the farm, on the path to the village, so you need to go south (old mill), and there you will go west, walking behind the mill... you will find the path there.
We don't usually put these tips here so as not to impact other players with spoilers. I'll just put it this time. It's interesting to visit our Discord server because we have a channel just for spoilers. Here we go:
<SPOILER> First, you need to be her friend! So you need to arrange a date with her when her dad isn't at the store. And after that, just meet her before mass in front of the church. </SPOILER>
After you see her in the barn... you need to talk to her and make an arrangement... and pay her some money... after some time she will give you the key. Sorry about the delay in answering you... we are at full power to release the next version this week!
So, I thought this game was going to be fine from the game page, maybe a bit standard but over all good. However, what I found was a very boring game. Two things of note, firstly I know this game is still in the process of being made but it has been out for I think around a year and a half, so I think it is fine to criticize it. Secondly, I did not beat the game and I will explain why.
The game feels really empty I mean like there is so little to do in this game. There are a number of girls that you can buy things from and five NPCs that all have minimal dialogue. I talked and read everything the tutorial old guy had to say and still I felt like I had nothing to do in the game. I spent the first half hour of the game exploring the town and found very little with most buildings being locked. I also talked to every person I encountered multiple times during different times of day and different days of the week only to find the dialogue almost never changed (except the mom who would say something different about the dad being gone on the weekend). After that I found that the most efficient way to make money was to farm and found that because there was nothing to do in the town without money that just spamming sitting on the chair in the kitchen going to sleep and repeating was the best thing to do. I eventually had enough money to buy a pickaxe and spent time breaking rocks only to be reward with nothing but gravel after spending multiple days breaking rocks. After that I decided to stop playing. The farming isn’t fun but is the best way to get money at least from what I could find. Breaking rocks did little unless gravel could be sold somewhere that I couldn’t find. Lastly the characters were uninteresting, and their dialogue almost never changed.
Now you could tell me that I was playing the game wrong which I may have but if I was it should be asked why was I playing the game wrong? If a game has a proper or best way to be played should the old man have told me clearly how to do so? It is the job of the game designer to make it clear to the player what they can do how to approach their tasks and how to best engage with the game. I read everything the old man had to say and the game was still a boring loop to get a little bit of money and talking to characters that always said the same thing. This game could be better, and I would love to check it out again in the future but it needs to make the game play fun and enjoyable before I can even stick around door the NSFW content. So, I would suggest adding a way to upgrade the farm and make framing as a process a more engaging task. Make breaking rocks more interesting with better and varied drops and if gravel can be sold make it clear where. Lastly and most importantly make the game feel alive. More NPCs that give tips and say something different throughout the day and the world they live in. Have every building have a purpose rather than just filler for the town. Make the girls that you get to seduce interesting rather than just a bar that fills up.
At the moment the game is a 1/5 for me but I think with time it could easily become a 3/5 or 4/5 but that all depends on how this game chooses to innovate. Good luck with making your game I hope it improves with time.
First of all, thank you for the deep and sincere criticism. It is through these opinions that we can work to improve the game.
I will try to comment and answer your criticisms and suggestions in the order you put them.
In terms of production time, the game was released approximately seven months ago, not a year and a half as you said. I know this is no excuse but it's our first game. We are learning a lot in the process and trying to improve the game with each update.
About the game being empty and there's still little to do, I really must agree with you. We are trying to add new mechanics with each update and balancing some mechanics from the last updates (like breaking stones, which was added in the last update and we already noticed that it is very unbalanced because gems are very rare).
Unfortunately, we have a very small team, and the tests end up being insufficient, so we're adjusting things between one version and another. For example, in this new version we are working on (0.5.0) we intend to include fishing mechanics, turning wooden logs into planks, and a combat system (because the character will be able to access the interior of the mines).
As for the superficial dialogue, you're right, we've already noticed that deficiency and we're working on trying to improve future dialogues as well as improve the old ones. But everything takes time and we are really with a very small team working in our spare time as the game is not our main job.
As for the city's buildings being mostly locked, this was a design decision, as we are developing the game with each new version, we chose to do this to avoid having to change the city map with each new update (the idea is that we also include new NPCs as we add content to the city in each new version, for example, in the next version you will be able to access the bar that is next to the docks, at the south part of the city)
The Gravel currently can be sold to some NPCs (Humberto and Eliana) but the price of it is very low.
I won't say you're playing it wrong. A game is to be played in the way that the player feels most comfortable and it must be pleasant and fun. I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy the game at this point. I hope that in the future you will give us another chance and that you can enjoy the game.
By the way, as for the farm update, it's already on our roadmap. It won't be released in this next version yet, but most likely from version 0.6.0 onwards, you will be able to expand your farm with new crops and new buildings with new features.
Thank you very much for the criticisms and suggestions, as has been said, this is what makes us try to bring a new version that is better and better than the previous one.
Hey sorry for getting the date wrong for some reason I thought the game was published at the beginning of 2021 my apologizes. Don't take my criticism to harshly I know this is a growing game and I will definitely check back in the future after a few updates. Glad to hear the farming is going to be improved I think that will help the game greatly, keep working hard and I'm sure the game will become enjoyable.
Do you say in the game? If it is, we're thinking about it for future releases.
Now if it's an online guide... Since the game is constantly developing, bringing new content and mechanics in every new version, and as we have a tiny crew, we are dedicating all our time to the game's development. Stopping to develop an online guide was going to be tricky. But we don't discard out this idea and one of the members will start posting tutorials on our Reddit community. Soon we will update our page with the links!
One of the things that are working well is our Discord community! We have a #spoilers channel, where people ask how to get things and we respond very quickly.
As is the case with the barn key. We haven't finished implementing this part yet. But we are bringing news (hot ones) now in version 0.5.0 which we will release soon!
Alright thanks for your help with the barn key in regards to your question yes i mean in the game like a log book of sorts that says the quest and what needs to be done before you can progress to the next quest
It's a good start so far, but I have some suggestions.
1. The amount of money you need to pay your abusive father is way too low compared to the cost of everything else. By the time you can afford any tools, let alone even consider buying gifts for the women, you don't care at all about your debt. It's just a matter of making sure you have some spare change left after everything you buy, and only on Wednesdays.
I think you should add more crop fields (maybe a total of about 5?) so that you can make more money selling crops (and also spend more time on it). Then you could increase the amount the father charges (maybe to 100 a week?), making that more of a challenge, while also speeding up the pace of the game toward buying tools and gifts.
2. The fact that the women will accept any gift but may gain no affection from it can be a major feel-bad if you buy the wrong gift. You just totally wasted like 150 or 200 coins, which is about a week of work.
If you want them to gain no affection, they should refuse the gift ("Sorry, but I can't take this." or something along those lines); alternatively, you should always get some affection from a gift, even if they don't like it much (their ambivalence could be clear from their response, such as, "Uh, gee... thanks? It's the thought that counts.") Also, there should be more clues as to who wants what gifts so that it doesn't just feel like guessing.
3. Is mining for gems actually a thing? Is that not implemented yet? I broke dozens of rocks for weeks and found nothing but gravel.
First, thanks for the feedback and suggestions! Only then can we improve our game more and more!
Answering your questions...
1 - As we are at an early stage, significant changes happen between one version and another, and one thing or another is unbalanced. The stamina system started working now in version 0.4.0. It made it possible for the MC to perform a lot more actions than previous versions (and consequently accumulate a lot more money). Before in the first week, it was tough to save some money and still pay the father, so it was very cheap. Now with the evolution of the game (and the stamina system), the amount of crop fields is really low (we can increase it), and you can accumulate much more money. We will review the debt amount for the next version. Remember that we are also implementing new tasks, and probably fishing will be available in the next version.
2 - About the gifts. It might be a good idea not to lose the gift. The girl can decline... I will open a poll in our discord community to check this question! And we will also try to improve the girls' feedback when you give a gift. As for clues, we also have plans to add more information and tips via other NPCs in town (we will add more NPCs in town in the next version). And we working to improve the conversations with the girls, so, they can give hints.
3 - Yes, the gem system is implemented, but gems are very rare, and the chances of dropping are very small (1%). We may have to balance this in future releases as well.
sorry. It's not implemented yet! We will release V0.4 this week (not yet with the plank system)... the plank system will be in the v0.5. You will need to travel to a new land and go to a sawmill
It may be too early to judge about this, but it feels like the game is totally on rails. There is no feeling of freedom in playing it.
I mean that even though there are choices about what the user can do, eventually if you wanna move forward with the story, you should unavoidably have sex with every girl, right?
So, is this an unavoidable full harem game, where the sutpid "farm boy" will unavoidably complete his "life mission to seduce all the girls in the region", or will there be an actual way to complete the whole story the right way, without cheating on your chosen "dream girl"?
First of all, thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply...
In this early stage, the game is still on the rails as we have yet just a very little content... we are releasing more content with each new update.
**Spoiler**
Yes... inevitably you will have to seduce some girls while you search for the dream girl... not necessarily all of the girls in the game, because every time you finish the story with one of the girls, you will get a clue to find the dream girl.
When the clues are complete, you'll choose whether to stay with the girl in your dream or one of the girls you've seduced and dated.
But the idea is that we'll have much more girls than we need to get all the clues (we are expecting dozens of girls in the final version but you need to get 8 to 10 clues to find the dream girl), so at a certain point, you'll be able to choose which girls to invest in and which not to invest in, to get the clues. You won't need to seduce every girl in the game (unless you want to, of course).
I suppose it's good to know that the game will give a choice to the player at the very end. But yes, it is still in a too early phase of developement, so I should wait until the game grows bigger.
By the way I do not have a problem with linear routes, just with meaningless choices and illusion of choice. I mean a good interactive story game should feel like it reacts to user input, right?
Anyway, I wish you good luck developing it, and thanks for releasing it for free.
Ahh… we don’t have plans to add it at this moment of development… we are focusing in spent our money in CGs… later we will improve it with some animations… but there is no voice planned yet… if we have money in the future, we can think about it, but at this moment, no voices Sorry.
So, I downloaded it. Gonna play it in a bit. Just curious tho, what was the ntr exactly from before? I didn't want to see it because people somewhat hinted at it in the comments, but what happened?? O-o
The stepfather of Bianca (the father of main character) was fucking Bianca before MC. She was doing it by money. I don’t know if is NTR because she was doing it before has something with the MC. But most of people dislike it.
Ohhhhh. I think people were probably afraid that if a relationship were to happen, there would be an actual ntr scene in the future. At least, that's what I would think. I also wouldn't like see to see a love interest in that position. Also, playing the game and enjoying it so far (only played like an hour lol). Great job! :D
Yep! But we rewrite her story entirely, so no more risk of NTR! And thank you for playing and enjoying it! If you need hints, don't hesitate in join our discord community! We have a spoiler channel where we help people in the game!
So. This game looks and sounds interesting, but I'm gonna wait until the next version. Read some of the comments and I don't want to even look at the ntr (I REALLY don't like that kind of stuff). Excited for when I'm going to play it tho. Art looks pretty nice. :D
Thanks for the compliments and the new version will already be out of NTR! We will launch it in the next few days! Just some final tweaks and polishing to go. We are already in the tests to release everything right. Hope you like it! And, if you don't like something, don't hesitate to comment!
I'm enjoying the game and waiting for the next content, you're doing a great job. I intend to update Patreon to have access to the development stream and contribute to the game's development as soon as possible.
Damn, everything in the game seemed pretty interesting and promising... Finding out what Bianca was doing killed most of my interest though. I had seen the pictures, but was expecting there was some way to prevent it from happening and not only to intervene after the fact already happened. I'll keep following the game, hoping that someday there will be a way to avoid that stuff from happening.
Other than that, the game was pretty good and you're doing a great job, but yeah, personally, I just can't enjoy it after the Bianca stuff.
sorry about that =( but thanks that you enjoy the other aspects of the game!
We are in the early stages of dev, and have a lot of work to do... and we have a discord community where people can help! Hope you can go there and help with suggestions and ideas! We need it! If people want it, we can implement a way to avoid it and change her story before it happens!
I have to agree with skelleton here, the game was fun until that scene with the old guy, my interest in playing the game went from 100 to 0 in an instant, but the game is cool and the art is nice so if we can avoid this in the future i will definitly try it again.
Skelleton entered our discord community! I hope you can enter there too and we will work together to change this scene or make an option to avoid it in the next versions! And thanks for the feedback. We need it to improve our game \o/
I believe the developers' intention was just to entertain players, but it's interesting to hear the community's opinion about the game and adapt it for a better experience.

Thanks, man!
why do we need a internet to play the android? just asking cuz the other platform can play even its offline.
Yes... because the android build is web-based. So... not all time, but the game will download assets on demand... and after that, it will stay in the cache of the phone... but when you enter a new map for example, it will download the map.
thank you for answering, btw is there a walkthrough? or any tips to not get confused in the game?
We currently have the #spoiler-section channel in our Discord server (https://discord.gg/nDDAgAQArq), where people ask how to do something... and a guy is putting how to get pictures in Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/questforthedreamgirl/).

Does anyone here know why the ntr scene was removed?
I know...

We would like to bring evolutions faster, but unfortunately due to art costs, updates don't come out as quickly.
Literally bowed down and removed content because a few babies cried NTR. The the worst thing I can possible see devs do is removing content from their game and I will never support anyone who ever does that.

Alright. Good to know its not totally gone. Remember some people will still bitch even if its optional so you can never satisfy everyone.
But we aim to please most of the players. And at that point, we were displeasing most of those playing. That's why we decided to cut it at that moment and put it in an alternative story route in the future. By the way... thanks for the advice man!

Yep... I know... we are late =/ Sorry man =/
Trying to finish and test everything... but the new year parties/travels are difficulting a little bit...
But we are almost done... need just a couple of days ant it will be here!
I'm sad that you didn't like the game... we're trying to improve it even more... like in the next version that will be released in the next few days, we've improved the economy and added upgrades to the farm.

If you click on the link, it will download a .apk file. It is the game file for android... you need to run its file on your phone. We can't put it directly in the Play Store because of the +18 content.
i think the question was made because it says the apk is of only 5MB
Ahhh! that's because the RPG Maker (the game engine of the game) exports the Android version to use a web version... so... we have the web version... the Android downloads the maps on demand from the web version... and let it in your phone... when we update the web, it download the changes, so you don't even need to update the APK. Just in case we switch our webserver.
oh, sounds cool tbh. thanks for the info!
you are welcome!
update?
Almost there! We will try to release it before December!
we are planning to release the next version in November!
Its pretty fucking good 9/10. imo there was alot of empty space that wasent used for enything (i think) and thats like the only "bad" part of the game lol. Art style felt like it was getting better and better the longer i played it. Idk what else to say im hyped for the future patches!

We made a mistake yesterday before the release and it was broken! But fixed it by now in 0.5.1! Sorry!
when is the next update for storylines?
We are late, sorry... we had some delays but the next version will be released tomorrow in the morning \o/
1-how do I get the key that is with his sister?
After you see her in the barn... you need to talk to her and make an arrangement... and pay her some money... after some time she will give you the key. Sorry about the delay in answering you... we are at full power to release the next version this week!
I will be looking forward to the next version
\o/
hello Solz. We are planning to release it on next week!
So, I thought this game was going to be fine from the game page, maybe a bit standard but over all good. However, what I found was a very boring game. Two things of note, firstly I know this game is still in the process of being made but it has been out for I think around a year and a half, so I think it is fine to criticize it. Secondly, I did not beat the game and I will explain why.
The game feels really empty I mean like there is so little to do in this game. There are a number of girls that you can buy things from and five NPCs that all have minimal dialogue. I talked and read everything the tutorial old guy had to say and still I felt like I had nothing to do in the game. I spent the first half hour of the game exploring the town and found very little with most buildings being locked. I also talked to every person I encountered multiple times during different times of day and different days of the week only to find the dialogue almost never changed (except the mom who would say something different about the dad being gone on the weekend). After that I found that the most efficient way to make money was to farm and found that because there was nothing to do in the town without money that just spamming sitting on the chair in the kitchen going to sleep and repeating was the best thing to do. I eventually had enough money to buy a pickaxe and spent time breaking rocks only to be reward with nothing but gravel after spending multiple days breaking rocks. After that I decided to stop playing. The farming isn’t fun but is the best way to get money at least from what I could find. Breaking rocks did little unless gravel could be sold somewhere that I couldn’t find. Lastly the characters were uninteresting, and their dialogue almost never changed.
Now you could tell me that I was playing the game wrong which I may have but if I was it should be asked why was I playing the game wrong? If a game has a proper or best way to be played should the old man have told me clearly how to do so? It is the job of the game designer to make it clear to the player what they can do how to approach their tasks and how to best engage with the game. I read everything the old man had to say and the game was still a boring loop to get a little bit of money and talking to characters that always said the same thing. This game could be better, and I would love to check it out again in the future but it needs to make the game play fun and enjoyable before I can even stick around door the NSFW content. So, I would suggest adding a way to upgrade the farm and make framing as a process a more engaging task. Make breaking rocks more interesting with better and varied drops and if gravel can be sold make it clear where. Lastly and most importantly make the game feel alive. More NPCs that give tips and say something different throughout the day and the world they live in. Have every building have a purpose rather than just filler for the town. Make the girls that you get to seduce interesting rather than just a bar that fills up.
At the moment the game is a 1/5 for me but I think with time it could easily become a 3/5 or 4/5 but that all depends on how this game chooses to innovate. Good luck with making your game I hope it improves with time.
First of all, thank you for the deep and sincere criticism. It is through these opinions that we can work to improve the game.
I will try to comment and answer your criticisms and suggestions in the order you put them.
In terms of production time, the game was released approximately seven months ago, not a year and a half as you said. I know this is no excuse but it's our first game. We are learning a lot in the process and trying to improve the game with each update.
About the game being empty and there's still little to do, I really must agree with you. We are trying to add new mechanics with each update and balancing some mechanics from the last updates (like breaking stones, which was added in the last update and we already noticed that it is very unbalanced because gems are very rare).
Unfortunately, we have a very small team, and the tests end up being insufficient, so we're adjusting things between one version and another. For example, in this new version we are working on (0.5.0) we intend to include fishing mechanics, turning wooden logs into planks, and a combat system (because the character will be able to access the interior of the mines).
As for the superficial dialogue, you're right, we've already noticed that deficiency and we're working on trying to improve future dialogues as well as improve the old ones. But everything takes time and we are really with a very small team working in our spare time as the game is not our main job.
As for the city's buildings being mostly locked, this was a design decision, as we are developing the game with each new version, we chose to do this to avoid having to change the city map with each new update (the idea is that we also include new NPCs as we add content to the city in each new version, for example, in the next version you will be able to access the bar that is next to the docks, at the south part of the city)
The Gravel currently can be sold to some NPCs (Humberto and Eliana) but the price of it is very low.
I won't say you're playing it wrong. A game is to be played in the way that the player feels most comfortable and it must be pleasant and fun. I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy the game at this point. I hope that in the future you will give us another chance and that you can enjoy the game.
By the way, as for the farm update, it's already on our roadmap. It won't be released in this next version yet, but most likely from version 0.6.0 onwards, you will be able to expand your farm with new crops and new buildings with new features.
Thank you very much for the criticisms and suggestions, as has been said, this is what makes us try to bring a new version that is better and better than the previous one.
Hey sorry for getting the date wrong for some reason I thought the game was published at the beginning of 2021 my apologizes. Don't take my criticism to harshly I know this is a growing game and I will definitely check back in the future after a few updates. Glad to hear the farming is going to be improved I think that will help the game greatly, keep working hard and I'm sure the game will become enjoyable.
thanks again, man! Hope to see you soon!
a quest log/guide would be nice as well
also once i get the barn key how to i meet bia in the barn?
Hello Solz!
Do you say in the game? If it is, we're thinking about it for future releases.
Now if it's an online guide... Since the game is constantly developing, bringing new content and mechanics in every new version, and as we have a tiny crew, we are dedicating all our time to the game's development. Stopping to develop an online guide was going to be tricky. But we don't discard out this idea and one of the members will start posting tutorials on our Reddit community. Soon we will update our page with the links!
One of the things that are working well is our Discord community! We have a #spoilers channel, where people ask how to get things and we respond very quickly.
As is the case with the barn key. We haven't finished implementing this part yet. But we are bringing news (hot ones) now in version 0.5.0 which we will release soon!
Alright thanks for your help with the barn key in regards to your question yes i mean in the game like a log book of sorts that says the quest and what needs to be done before you can progress to the next quest
I will work on it! Cant guarantee to next version because it's already on oven, but hope you will see it on the game soon!
It's a good start so far, but I have some suggestions.
1. The amount of money you need to pay your abusive father is way too low compared to the cost of everything else. By the time you can afford any tools, let alone even consider buying gifts for the women, you don't care at all about your debt. It's just a matter of making sure you have some spare change left after everything you buy, and only on Wednesdays.
I think you should add more crop fields (maybe a total of about 5?) so that you can make more money selling crops (and also spend more time on it). Then you could increase the amount the father charges (maybe to 100 a week?), making that more of a challenge, while also speeding up the pace of the game toward buying tools and gifts.
2. The fact that the women will accept any gift but may gain no affection from it can be a major feel-bad if you buy the wrong gift. You just totally wasted like 150 or 200 coins, which is about a week of work.
If you want them to gain no affection, they should refuse the gift ("Sorry, but I can't take this." or something along those lines); alternatively, you should always get some affection from a gift, even if they don't like it much (their ambivalence could be clear from their response, such as, "Uh, gee... thanks? It's the thought that counts.") Also, there should be more clues as to who wants what gifts so that it doesn't just feel like guessing.
3. Is mining for gems actually a thing? Is that not implemented yet? I broke dozens of rocks for weeks and found nothing but gravel.
First, thanks for the feedback and suggestions! Only then can we improve our game more and more!
Answering your questions...
1 - As we are at an early stage, significant changes happen between one version and another, and one thing or another is unbalanced. The stamina system started working now in version 0.4.0. It made it possible for the MC to perform a lot more actions than previous versions (and consequently accumulate a lot more money). Before in the first week, it was tough to save some money and still pay the father, so it was very cheap. Now with the evolution of the game (and the stamina system), the amount of crop fields is really low (we can increase it), and you can accumulate much more money. We will review the debt amount for the next version. Remember that we are also implementing new tasks, and probably fishing will be available in the next version.
2 - About the gifts. It might be a good idea not to lose the gift. The girl can decline... I will open a poll in our discord community to check this question! And we will also try to improve the girls' feedback when you give a gift. As for clues, we also have plans to add more information and tips via other NPCs in town (we will add more NPCs in town in the next version). And we working to improve the conversations with the girls, so, they can give hints.
3 - Yes, the gem system is implemented, but gems are very rare, and the chances of dropping are very small (1%). We may have to balance this in future releases as well.
And again, thanks for the feedback!
how the hell do i get planks
sorry. It's not implemented yet! We will release V0.4 this week (not yet with the plank system)... the plank system will be in the v0.5. You will need to travel to a new land and go to a sawmill
It may be too early to judge about this, but it feels like the game is totally on rails. There is no feeling of freedom in playing it.
I mean that even though there are choices about what the user can do, eventually if you wanna move forward with the story, you should unavoidably have sex with every girl, right?
So, is this an unavoidable full harem game, where the sutpid "farm boy" will unavoidably complete his "life mission to seduce all the girls in the region", or will there be an actual way to complete the whole story the right way, without cheating on your chosen "dream girl"?
First of all, thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply...
In this early stage, the game is still on the rails as we have yet just a very little content... we are releasing more content with each new update.
**Spoiler**
Yes... inevitably you will have to seduce some girls while you search for the dream girl... not necessarily all of the girls in the game, because every time you finish the story with one of the girls, you will get a clue to find the dream girl.
When the clues are complete, you'll choose whether to stay with the girl in your dream or one of the girls you've seduced and dated.
But the idea is that we'll have much more girls than we need to get all the clues (we are expecting dozens of girls in the final version but you need to get 8 to 10 clues to find the dream girl), so at a certain point, you'll be able to choose which girls to invest in and which not to invest in, to get the clues. You won't need to seduce every girl in the game (unless you want to, of course).
But yeah... every girl's story is on rails.
Thanks for replying.
I suppose it's good to know that the game will give a choice to the player at the very end. But yes, it is still in a too early phase of developement, so I should wait until the game grows bigger.
By the way I do not have a problem with linear routes, just with meaningless choices and illusion of choice. I mean a good interactive story game should feel like it reacts to user input, right?
Anyway, I wish you good luck developing it, and thanks for releasing it for free.
:)
thanks man \o/
Is there VA?
I'm sorry, but what do you mean by VA?
My bad. Voice acting
Ahh… we don’t have plans to add it at this moment of development… we are focusing in spent our money in CGs… later we will improve it with some animations… but there is no voice planned yet… if we have money in the future, we can think about it, but at this moment, no voices Sorry.
Dang, well thanks for replying I'll check the game out.
So, I downloaded it. Gonna play it in a bit. Just curious tho, what was the ntr exactly from before? I didn't want to see it because people somewhat hinted at it in the comments, but what happened?? O-o
The stepfather of Bianca (the father of main character) was fucking Bianca before MC. She was doing it by money. I don’t know if is NTR because she was doing it before has something with the MC. But most of people dislike it.
Ohhhhh. I think people were probably afraid that if a relationship were to happen, there would be an actual ntr scene in the future. At least, that's what I would think. I also wouldn't like see to see a love interest in that position. Also, playing the game and enjoying it so far (only played like an hour lol). Great job! :D
Yep! But we rewrite her story entirely, so no more risk of NTR! And thank you for playing and enjoying it! If you need hints, don't hesitate in join our discord community! We have a spoiler channel where we help people in the game!
Well, there was an actual scene where the protagonist saw that happening. So yeah. >.<
in current version? O.o
"was"
Not anymore. lol
I think I found a bug. Character can walk into the wall beside the door.
ops! Thanks for the reply! We will fix it!
So. This game looks and sounds interesting, but I'm gonna wait until the next version. Read some of the comments and I don't want to even look at the ntr (I REALLY don't like that kind of stuff). Excited for when I'm going to play it tho. Art looks pretty nice. :D
Thanks for the compliments and the new version will already be out of NTR! We will launch it in the next few days! Just some final tweaks and polishing to go. We are already in the tests to release everything right. Hope you like it! And, if you don't like something, don't hesitate to comment!
I'm enjoying the game and waiting for the next content, you're doing a great job. I intend to update Patreon to have access to the development stream and contribute to the game's development as soon as possible.
thanks! I hope you help with suggestions in our discord community too!
Damn, everything in the game seemed pretty interesting and promising... Finding out what Bianca was doing killed most of my interest though.
I had seen the pictures, but was expecting there was some way to prevent it from happening and not only to intervene after the fact already happened.
I'll keep following the game, hoping that someday there will be a way to avoid that stuff from happening.
Other than that, the game was pretty good and you're doing a great job, but yeah, personally, I just can't enjoy it after the Bianca stuff.
sorry about that =( but thanks that you enjoy the other aspects of the game!
We are in the early stages of dev, and have a lot of work to do... and we have a discord community where people can help! Hope you can go there and help with suggestions and ideas! We need it! If people want it, we can implement a way to avoid it and change her story before it happens!
I have to agree with skelleton here, the game was fun until that scene with the old guy, my interest in playing the game went from 100 to 0 in an instant, but the game is cool and the art is nice so if we can avoid this in the future i will definitly try it again.
Good luck and keep doing your best dev.
Skelleton entered our discord community! I hope you can enter there too and we will work together to change this scene or make an option to avoid it in the next versions! And thanks for the feedback. We need it to improve our game \o/
I believe the developers' intention was just to entertain players, but it's interesting to hear the community's opinion about the game and adapt it for a better experience.
yes. That’s why we counting on community to help us to improve the game!
cant find the pitcher or jar to water crops, the old man says its in the barn but i cant get in. what am i missing?
it’s on the chest in front the barn!
join discord for more information https://discord.gg/DQExSaSeuD
Just downloaded the game, have yet to play but liked the premise. Hope you guys finish it soon so we all can have the full experience!
Thanks and we hope you like to play it! We are working to bring new versions with a short interval of time!
