It involves one of the sidequests on the 2nd island. If you're having trouble just ask the location but the Navel Tickle skill is very valuable in that it takes out a chunk of an opponents TP.

Yea, i'd like to know where the quest starts. I explored the 2nd island fully, but I didn't get anything about that skill before I went into the fortress, unless it's in the fortress, in which case I pretty much missed it since the game said to avoid the fairies.

It involves the scientist questionnaire. Different answers give different results.

Huh?? Where? The only place where I saw bellybutton tickling was during the battle with Malyssa when she tickles Lala's navel and reduces her TP.

The quest involves the scientist underground who asks you a series of questions. Depending on your answer, you can miss your only chance for the naval tickling skill. When she asks you if you'd like to tickle her bellybutton - don't. She'll tickle yours instead and you'll learn the skill. Remember - this is the scientist, not the doctor and the robot.

Yea, I remeber the scientist. I messed it up by tickling her belly, so i'll have to start over from the beginning to have another chance. Oh well, thanks for the info.

Ok, time for a little update!

-Like the beach?On Kusuguru you'll find one....
-Ever seen the third movie of "Pirates of Carribean"??Men, that octo-pirate sure was a nasty opponement.....wonder if exist a female version!
-Not all maids will teach you a new skill....especially if one of them is mad at Alice!
-A swamp.....beware of small tickling spirits!
-Can't tickle a girl?Maybe you need a certain "item"
-One of the most useful accessory is sold in a store.....but prepare a lot of Kusu Essence (The "gold" in KP)

 

[Carnivore]

Very nice, Screamer. Great to see the ideas keep coming. Small tickling spirits... reminds me of Gulliver's Travels, although I'm not sure that's a story you'd hear in Italy? Anyway, sounds like you're hard at work. Keep it up!

How course i know Gulliver, even if this little tickle spirits are "something" else...

 

[Carnivore]

Ok, just wasn't sure. It is an Irish story. The fairies or pixies or little tickling spirits reminded me of the Lilliputian village from Gulliver. Hmm, you could have the opposite kind of encounter, too. Some kind of Brobdignagian woman. A giant woman for Alice to encounter that's also gigantically ticklish?

Giant woman "gigantically" ticklish? *facepalm* for pun

😀 Awww yeaaahhh I can't wait to travel to the beach! I'm happy that my suggestion was used.

Like Davy Jones? I do hope she doesn't share the octopus face lol. Not sure I'd want that touching me, or Alice, and I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.

Huh, so does this mean you can actually do something that will make maids hate you and refuse to offer you skills? Like, are there choices you can make that will make some NPC's no longer sell/teach/give quests/whatever to you? Or is it more like the story and events cause the maid to not trust and dislike Alice for the time being?

Tickling swamp spirits? Every time I think of a swamp and spirits, it's always the restless dead and ghosts of those that never found their way out of the swamp. If that is what they are, that should make for some fright-filled laughs.

Ah I like fights that require certain items to progress. It makes you hunt around and backtrack to look for something you missed; like that pirate captive in LO that required the plushie to break lol. I do hope that we will have ways to gain so much Kusu Essence, as LO had that nasty bug that caused 0 random encounters after the forest so only quests rewarded you with gold. If it's as great as you say, it's well worth farming for.

Sometimes, bad choices will prevent Alice to learn certain skills from maids

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

Oooo so it's like the scientist in LO, and you're going to have to be careful with what you choose. I'm definitely going to have to use more save slots in this game.

 

[Screamer811]

Ok, new screens!!

Description:
1)The Codex (don't mind the "total", still adding enemies)
2)A farm outside the city
3)Watch out for that scythe!
4)A peaceful trip in the sea, or....
5)Even in a swamp it's possible to encounter nice girls!

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

Goodness, you post so many updates that I'm starting to run out of compliments lol. Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on all this. Unfortunately, this post will not be all smiles as I'm going to have to put in some constructive criticism.

First, I'm liking the early screenshot of the codex. Already have it up and running, that's good. Will you also have information/descriptions on the characters in the codex aside from stats?
Also, I'm really liking how large the world looks and so far it's just a farm lol.



Now it's time for some criticism. I see Soma. Let me just say for the record I LOVED Soma's character design and personality; she was great in Ar Tonelico Qoga (even if she is a sweaty mess). So, seeing you're using her image put a huge smile on my face. However, there is something off about the screenshot, though I'm not sure if this is a placeholder, and that is the pasted on real-life feather.
Now, I don't know what program you're using on these images, but if it's Photoshop I have to make a suggestion. Keep the anime/manga with other anime/manga. Having real-life objects next to anime just doesn't look right, and Danbooru/Gelbooru has many potential images you could cut apart and combine.

Let me offer my assistance on this one. If you're in need of feathers, just type in "feather" on Danbooru and you'll find lots of art that has a feather in it. You can cut out one of these feathers that match your character and do some editing to make it fit better. Let's take this image - http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/955744/abs-amazon_-dragon-s_crown-armlet-armor-ass-axe-ba I'm not caring about the rest of the image, but the feathers in the woman's hair are really nice and dark like the scythe. Take this image, cutout and erase everything around the feathers, and paste them on Soma's scythe. Now do just a little bit of editing/blending and you can make the scythe look like it has a feather blade while making it fit the rest of the art better because it's still in the anime style.

I've attached a modification of Soma I did real quick at the end of this post. If you're worried about editing like this taking up too much time, you could just do a quick hunt for feathers in Danbooru and make a few "feather files" that you can use to combine with other pictures. You could also ask artists here on Tickle Theater for help. Sorry that I'm being critical on this, but the overall effect will look easier on the eyes since you don't have any weird mixing of real and fake.



Whew, ok - let me end this post with some less critical words. The little sea teaser looks interesting. Of course, being on such a small, wooden boat tends to never be a good idea in the end haha. I wonder what will happen to our two maidens? Are we going to have a ship voyage like the pirate ship in LO?
Is that the swamp you were telling us about? Then could that nice girl be...a spirit? o_o

 

[BlueRoseLeader]

You need to make a MAC version XD

1) The enemy in the image is named "Thief"
4) "Maybe we can get to the coast with no problems!"
5) "What a rare sight....a human! I am Hellen, a swamp dryad."

 

[buttontickler05]

I've been trying to think of a new place to add into KP and I finally came up with something. What about a House/Inn of Fetish?

Tickling will naturally be a part of it, but each girl in this place will have a particular fetish giving special scenes/encounters/challenges based on what their fetish is. Completing each girl sucessfully will give items, stat boosts, or even new thechniques based on their fetish. Maybe there could be a special currency you can recieve from the girls that you spend at a special store or two in the house/inn, similar to the tokens you get in the tickling club on the 2nd island of LO.

 

[Screamer811]

Regarding the feather effect on weapon, don't worry.....they're all work in progress!

 

[10 armed tkler]

So I got done play lala's ordeal...so I can not wait for this one....and possibly a part 2 of lala's ordeal...going by the ending.

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

4) "Maybe we can get to the coast with no problems!"
5) "What a rare sight....a human! I am Hellen, a swamp dryad."

Thank you Xtreme for the translation!
4 - Now that I know the text, it's even more likely that this boat trip won't end well lol
5 - Huh, now that is cool. You don't see enough dryads in games based on different environments. It's normally just regular forest dryads that come from healthy trees.

Regarding the feather effect on weapon, don't worry.....they're all work in progress!

Wonderful 🙂 Then I have nothing to worry about. As I've said before, it's looking great. Excellent job, Screamer, keep up the good work! I'm already eager to see the next update.

Btw, may i use your image for the game?
I really like that feather-scythe!

Haha, glad you liked it! Of course you may. ^_^ I'm happy to have helped.

The "to do list" is getting longer! :stickout

 

[Xtreme09]

Here's a suggestion. Instead of just using types of feathers all the time for weapons, branch out to different kinds of tools. Such as brushes, q-tips (which would have high attack but very low accuracy) or even ranged weapons like a feather gun or a tickle laser. Heck dusters would work too.

For skills maybe one that you use your own hair as a tickle tool.

Various tickle tools were already planned in my mind...i should have mentioned
before in my first post
