Chapter 1 is completed .-. i'm currently working on a bonus side-quest for chapter 1 that will be quite lengthy and add quite a bit of new content.

then there will be 4 more chapters to the game before it is finished.

Quick question: I've gotten demon soul eggs from the random monsters in the 2nd area. Can I get them from the randoms in the 1st area as well? If so, I got some extra hunting to do...

yeah, every random battle and every boss battle has a soul egg in the current version.

update: the puzzle portion of the hardcore quest has been finished. i'm now designing and programming the 4 mini-bosses (each of which will have their own custom defeat scenes, but no soul eggs or punishment scenes unfortunately) and then i'll begin work on the hardcore boss herself (who will have a soul egg [which features the 4 miniboss game overs] and her own game over scene).

should be another week, maybe? depends on how many bugs i run into .-.

Can't wait to see how will that hardcore quest be! Hope to see many "deFEETs" among those scenes, both for Angie and for the monsters 😀

Actually since Titania is queen of the fairies, I suspect the some fairies or pixies will be involved(Only stronger variants than that from Prologue)... so I actually have an idea for one scene, essentially a fairy(Or fairies...), could be really into feet(I mean like full-on foot fetish fairy XD), so once Angie would be beaten, they would just go straight for her feet, and begin to play with them in various(ticklish) ways...
Also since Titania is barefoot, it would be nice if her feet were one of her ticklish spots(Perhaps even by unleashing the perverted foot fetish fairy on her that I mentioned before... being all like "Yaaaay! Finally getting to have fun with queen's lovely feet!" XD)

Of course everything is up to you. I don't want to make you sick of foot tickling(Since kitsune scenes, as well as werecat defeat one, all been so awesome) for the rest of game's development, so if you think it would be too much, you can ignore my ideas...

 

[BrewedWar]

i think you'll be satisfied with what i have planned .-. i hope most people will, i'm trying to make sure the five game overs that come with this expansion are all unique and interesting.

 

[Cryptic71]

Tried playing it on the website. Google had other plans.

I guess imma have to download it.

You can try the indiexpo link in my signature. It should be more stable than the drive link. If that's not working sorry .-.

I just played the update (with the forest level) and your game is AWESOME! I love Angela's personality! Dialogs are excellent and so are descriptive scenes!

Just like darkblade, I would love to see some feet stuff ^^.

Monsters you're using are all from the "monsterencyclopedia" right? If you want help to find more monster girl pics (from other sources), don't hesitate to ask, I have some pics that will certainly interest you.

Good luck with the rest of the game! It's really really good so far!

Might just be me but equipping the iron sword you find compared to the original wooden sword doesn't seem to make any statistical difference

that's odd, the wood sword has +1 attack and the iron sword has +3 attack.

How is the progress with that hardcore quest?

Not rushing you or anything, just curious.

it's been a bit on standstill .-. i have all the puzzles done, i just have to design the four mini-bosses and the boss herself...i've been lazy >_<

work has been catching up to me and i've just been slow in general sorry T_T

It's no problem, better do it at your own pace than force yourself to rush, and later feel completely burned out and tired of making the game!

I never could finish a Souls game without disappearing for days on end.

Praise the sun my friend.

Just finished playing the 29/03 release... I'm a bit late, but let me say: it's a beautiful chapter.


The writing

The scenes of this release are awesome. All of them were written quite skillfully, some were very sensual (even unexpectedly so, like the batgirl's). But, of course, the honorable mention must go to the kitsune. I just loved all the interactions between Angela and that foxgirl, not only because they had a strong charge of naughtyness, but also because they managed to convey very well that "prey vs predator" feeling that makes monster girls such a fascinating concept in the first place.


Profession-dependant quest system

I think this system is overall a nice thing. I find the mechanic simple, intuitive, a bit over-the-top perhaps (from a narrative standpoint), but able to work well with the style of this particular game. Also, it allows the author to be creative with the combat system and prevents boredom, which in the long run can be a really important thing... so I would recommend building on it as much as possible. The "dress card" is a nice idea too, since excessive grinding is definitely a risk with this kind of gameplay.


Balance suggestions

Nothing major, really. I'll just leave a couple of suggestions for the future:

1) Miller Jr. has interesting skills, but very little freedom to use them, with such a small energy pool. I guess this was intended to block the player from spamming the mystic rune, which is fine, but... could you give him some kind of mechanic to regain energy? Like an energy-stealing attack, or a meditation skill, or whatever you feel appropriate; that guy is horribly fragile, to the point that you have to waste energy potions on him to ensure he would not die... and like Angela said, I get the feeling we'll get to see him again.

2) Talking about the warrior profession, could you buff a bit "Iron Will"? Maybe slightly raise the adrenaline gain, or give it a small healing bonus. That skill was clearly meant to be crucial during the Jinko fight and the Bitterbug random fights; I guess it will have uses in future releases as well, but as it is now, healing salves are objectively better in most situations.


The future...?

I wonder if it could be possible to involve at least some of the "souls" of the defeated monsters in some dedicated secondary quest. I feel it would be such a waste for this game to characterize so many monster girls, and then just let them locked in the soul prisons forever. Please understand, I'm not thinking of anything as cheesy as "make the soul gems become pokeballs". But... when the kitsune tempted Angela into releasing her, I couldn't help but wonder, what if something like that actually had to happen someday? What if during a quest, our girl found herself for whatever reason in desperate need of the magic, the knowledge or the strength of a specific monster to bypass some obstacle, and had no choice but to actually barter for the help of that monster by giving her some reward? Either letting the monster vent some pent-up frustration over her, or allowing the monster temporarily free as a hunting partner... this game has already several interesting characters that could shine in that kind of situation, with backgrounds just barely hinted at that could be explored.

On another subject, I admit that I am very curious about Angela's unseen soulmate, but it's not the only character that I'd love to know more about. Captain Morrigan, for some reason, interests me. As useful as it may be as a simple quest giver and as a straight foil for Angela's crazyness, she's also the veteran-behind-a-desk archetype and looks to me like the kind of woman that could actually give Angela a life lesson or two (something Angela desperately needs...). It would be nice to discover something of her background, and to see her emotionally involved with some of the biggest bounties and quests that Angela will get in the future. After all, as far as we know, she probably has already fought against many of the worst monster girls that threaten her village... maybe she has some past with them that could be shared with the protagonist. Hate, regret, maybe even attraction... there are lots of options there.


Anyway, great job. I can't wait for the next release!

You too? I'm also playing this game! I just defeated the dragonslayer armor. I'll reach the end of the game soon.

^_^ yeah my wife just finished DS3, beat the Nameless King and everything. I've finished DS1: Prepare to Die, and I'm about halfway through DS 2: Scholar of the First Sin i think...

don't worry though, i'm going to get this updated with a super ultra awesome bonus content for chapter 1, a huge animation update for a lot of skills, some new pictures, and a bunch of new writing...and i promise not to do any From Software balancing @_@ no ornsteina and smoughette or Nameless Queen for Who Hunts Monsters.

Heh, I've been meaning to play Dark Souls for a while already, I even have the Prepare to Die edition of the first one on Steam... but I never actually had time to play it XD
I know however that it has one cute boss! Priscilla the Crossbreed, who is also permanently barefoot! Surprising I haven't seen much good feet-focused art of her...

HOPEFULLY you won't make fights as difficult as those from Dark Souls, I mean I didn't start it, but I once played Demon Souls on PS3... so I kinda know how hard it is more or less(You could put in some monster girl similar to Priscilla though XD)!

:wub i wish i could...priscilla is my bae and i feel so bad about killing her for the achievement T_T she just wanted to be left alone...i even made Angela in the game and i wish i could have saved my fluffy-tailed dragon baby....

You already finished ds3? You're fast! I don't know for you, but I like the fact ds franchise always have hard games! I'm kind of a msochists when it comes to video games: usually when I finish a game I do it again with a huge handicap ... but hear I don't need handicap ^^

.-. i haven't yet! my wife has, i'm waiting to finish 1 and 2 before i play 3. i beat bloodborne though, and that's what got me really interested.

^_^ really enjoy the thrill of victory in the From games, even if that anger of defeat builds up a great big black ball of hate inside me

stupid archers at anor londo......

Yeah exactly! That's why hard games are fun: once you defeat a boss or something like that you really feel happy for doing it!

I also liked bloodborne a lot! Some hunter (especially this guy: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net...en-c02t.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140927145002) were very hard to beat.

Ah also did you notice the shadows of Yharnam? In the last level they were 9! Coincidence? I don't think so. It was obviously a reference to the lord of the rings.

My first soul was ds 1, freaking loved the boss battle with ornstein and smough.

Haha, second fluffiest tail after Tamamo from Monster Girl Quest XD

Well you could for example put some secret/easter egg bossfight with Priscilla-inspired monster girl! Or even, just take some super cute pic of her (Like this: https://i.gyazo.com/99e9c5a3afba7f49ee34def9bf995ed0.png ) and name her... Chibilla the Chibibreed(Or some other cute nickname)! It could be kinda like the fight with So Sorry from Undertale XD
Just an ultra random idea XD
