It looks promising but I'm an hour in and it's pushing me away. The dialogues are riddled with typos and scripting errors, the inconsistent character heights are offputting, the note collection is jank, and just so many things are inadequately or confusingly explained.

The game is still very much in early access, and is developed by a single developer with a dayjob in an unrelated field who does all of the art, coding, scripting, writing, animation, and everything else.


Polish will come, but it's taking a while.

I don't know if someone else has already said it but I found a bug, when you save near roommates or other NPCs they disappear and you can't see them or talk to them

in the dorms? I'll look into it, they should respawn on changing maps but I'll test to make sure after saving/ loading they reload properly

An RPG with horny witches sounds cool, but really this game deserves to have voice acting at one point!

Looks good!

Is there a mobile version?

So i ran into a major bug im unsure how it happened. Happened when going into day 20. Picture is attached

So ran into another bug when i reloaded the game and then tried to load the autosave.

Noted. Ill look into these. They look like theyre connected to the quest journal scripts.

(+1)

Also upon getting to summer 20 night. the transition to fall 1 breaks and all i get is a black screen. I cannot even open the menu.

Another thing i noticed is upon completing the initial courses there is no memory of the courses being completed when choosing new courses to do. So one has to do Mana Manipulation 1, Potions 1, Neutral Magic 1, and Survival 1 again because its not recording that they have been completed.

Who can help, I don’t know how to give birth to a child from a person, I waited for the last stage but nothing happened, I waited for 15 days, it didn’t help, who knows what to do?

Human births take a much longer period of time than monster births, about double that of nekomatas and triple that of imps, according to the code, or anywhere from 30-45 days after you enter stage 2 (full belly) which itself takes 15ish days to enter.

Part of the issue might be the variance that human pregnancies have compared to monster ones. Imp pregnancy always takes 28 days according to the code, but human pregnancy can be as short as 52 days or as long as 72! days.

The enhanced length of the pregnancy is supposed to tie into some more in-depth pregnancy events around human pregnancies and separate them from monsters, which grow rapidly in comparison.

I think the birth scene itself might be broken at the moment(I think I was redoing artwork for them and needed to make some new ones for it), but the pregnancy will resolve after a lengthy wait, and the missing scenes will be implemented once I can finish up the art for them.

Found a game-breaking bug in the newest version. I turned off the light spell during the slime hunt on the 17th of Spring, and after the fight I was warped back to my room, the night time slot was skipped, and I was unable to move come morning. Worse yet, the game seems to have autosaved, meaning the file is hardlocked, and the hour I'd spent to get there was wasted. And before you ask, I did use the desticker, and while I was able to move a tile, it did not free my movement, and I don't have the patience to force myself all the way to a loading zone only for it to likely not work.

Thanks for letting me know on the bug, the entire slime hunt section is getting a revamp with the next update so it should be fixed soon! I'm not quite sure why it would lock your movement, I'll look into that as well.

Any manual saves before the autosave should still work, the autosave goes to as save slot that shouldn't be normally accessible to the player (if it is it's a bug)

Okay I'm TRYING to get some momentum in this game but I hit a couple of bugs and it just ruins the mood

First off whenever I'm meant to teleport to the dorms I appear in my room, then I teleport back to wherever I was teleporting from. This has caused me to miss out on almost all the clients that called for sex, the only time I managed to get it done was when I was already in the dorm.

Second the 'Time Management' recommending me to do thing cut off at the start of the second semester.

And third, during several of the sex scenes I have managed to witness I've had to deal with the images of characters flickering in and out- It makes me feel like I downloaded a bugged version of the game.

Thanks for the bug reports!

Ill look into all of them.


The last one is a bug with the animations system for a lot of the older animations. I think the newer ones dont have the same issue and the older ones that do have it are being replaced with updated art over time.

I'll see if I can get it fixed faster but the issue involves rpgmaker's own engine having some issues loading images at runtime. Without porting it to the new system it will take a while to fix these older ones, and porting the older ones without updating the art at the same time will take a lot of devtime that will have to be repeated a second time for the updated artwork as well.

I'll do some testing and try to get some bugfixes in soon!

How do I attend the elemental magic classes?  Are they only at certain times of day?

(+1)

Never mind, found it!

Hey, do you ever plan to add breast expansion to the game?

Possibly, for certain characters in the future. Likely nothing permanent though because of the difficulty of retrofitting all previous scenes to the new bust size.

It wouldn't be anytime soon either unfortunately, as there's a ton of stuff to do in the backlog already!

What happened to the website?

I ran out of money to pay for hosting unfortunately! I was paying for it all out of pocket but lost my dayjob with the pandemic and the costs finally caught up as my income dropped. The game will still be developed the same, just no website for a while.

i feel this bug is a pretty big issue so whenever i save game people just get phased out of existence but they do respawn eventually 

The dorms is a known bug. They return anytime you leave and re-enter.

It was built before the walking and standing students were implemented, and needs to be redone entirely to use the same system, but will take a while to be properly redone.

Well it's got a hefty dose of jank, the class choice page is totally broken, for instance. but there's clearly a lot of work at play. I look forward to seeing how it goes.

Any way to know where to get stats like Will Power up from?

(1 edit)

I think choir/dark church events increase willpower, and also likely a class or two, though I would have to double check the code for all of them. Stats are gained from classes (each class adds 1 stat), clubs (gardening club, choir/dark church, book club (gives mana regen!), and jobs (kitchen, tavern, and nurses)

It's somewhat logical in most cases (you'll get intelligence and mana from stuff like book club or magic classes, or strength and agility and hp from more physical jobs and clubs like kitchen work or combat courses, etc etc) Some of them can be found on the wiki here, although its not 100% up-to-date with everything.

https://hmadarktower.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Most consistent way to get willpower is probably attending choir or repeating the mana manipulation 1 class (which gets you +1 each and is available at the start)

I have encountered a minor bug and a more concerning bug. 

Minor bug, events are ordered weirdly. example, I'm working at the tavern at night. Finish my shift, day light appears while i'm there, then i get my morning booty call, THEN i get the 'it's time for bed' message, as i warp to my room for either the booty call or classes, depending on if i skipped it or not. Not a huge issue, but kinda of annoying. 

Larger issue. Some times i get a booty call, i accept it, and spawn on my bed. Client isn't there and I can't move, requiring returning to my dorm via the map, which wastes the time slot. Much more annoying. 

Otherwise, really enjoying the game! 

PS, I've also got stuck behind toilets. press forward to much, then when you click on it and it vanishes, it reappears over you, getting you stuck behind it. Easy to avoid so I forgot it in the above post. 

Thanks for letting me know! I'll need to do some more testing and probably reordering in the code that controls the timing for when things run.

I'll have to test a bit more to see if I can recreate the larger issue. I had that happen once or twice in testing early on, thought I had fixed it, and hadn't seen it since. There's probably something else that's triggering at the same time that I have to figure out.

(+1)

i figured that is what was happening. I can use the desticker to get out from behind a toilet i think, it only happens near the one by the boys dorm, but the issue with the prostitute events also turns off all other events, so i can't leave that map and have to use the dorm teleport and burn time. Makes me super nervous to accept jobs. Till i finish studying and any assignments so that all i have to do is earn money and wasted time bothers me less. Wonder if a 'wait' command for a 30-60 frames would resolve it, if it's too many things firing at once.

There is another one i've found where using the dorm teleport if you are in a dungeon (i got knocked off the map by the nekomata knockback and couldn't even de-sticker move)  it leaves combat skills/hp/mp overlaid and you can't access your skills list or anything, and text is partially covered when talking to people. 

Been really enjoying the game though! Is there any current events in the mens bathroom? The message when using the bathroom and clicking on the urinals makes me feel like something is planned with it, but i haven't found anything yet. 

Events are planned for it for the future but haven't been implemented yet.

I'll check to make sure combat is properly disabled on teleporting out, thanks for letting me know!

can you make a android version  please 

is there a way to beat the slimes in the cavern i cant figure out how to fight and by the time i have i have already died

The first time you visit you should have a spell that Anya can use. and you can run away for a bit to get some space and then fire as they approach.

There's no penalty for waiting as far as I remember, so you can always come back after you learn some new spells from future classes, then retake the artifacts class to properly finish its assignment.

Geez Think I'm still on...21? 23? need to update! That's what happens when I get it from a different website, and then everything goes crazy! 30 already, I'm guessing lots of new content and fun shenanigans! Going to have to start anew and remember why I liked this so much!

So I went to go use the download link for windows & it wouldn't work. said the file isn't stored in the proper location anymore or something?

'Edit': opened mediafire which said the key provided for file access is missing & that it is usually because the file  is no longer stored on mediafire which usually occurs when the file is removed either by the originating user or mediafire itself. is there another place i can download it from or another method? or maybe a way to fix the problem directly?

(1 edit)

I am so sorry about that! The links broke because I didn't properly update the latest public version's links!

I will have them fixed right away, and make sure they stay up-to-date from now on.

(1 edit)

thank you! do let me know once it's fixed, I am eagerly looking forward to playing :D
'Edit': was able to download it! thank you! ^-^

So been having fun with the game but I think I just encountered a fairly problematic bug. I tried using the intermediate medical primer & it gave me the subject of unique fractures. and then ended without saying anything other than the subject name; no information on how to diagnose or treat it was listed.

Edit: just tried using it again, and it did the same with chapters 2, 3, & 4. it listed the topic name but no details after that. rather than roll the file back to try and fix it, is there a place I can go to find the text that should have been there? also on another note, what do the 8 different purity blessings do? there is no way to check their effects. the only one I have identified is Blessing 0. Blessings 1 through 7 only give names that hint at potential effects. are there plans to add details about them to the status window later on?

(1 edit) (+1)

Swordsmanship: Rending Slash's class is bugged. I go to enter it and it's like I don't have the class; no cut scene occurs.

Thanks for letting me know on these! I'll test and see if I can get them fixed soon! The curses and blessings are on the wiki (which, while outdated, does have information on those)

https://hmadarktower.com/wiki/index.php/Church#Blessings

They will be added to the status window later on as well, once I finish the redesign for it.

Everytime I go into a room with a wooden door where it does not show the room, like most bathrooms, I am not able to get out again. I get spawned inside the door, and when I try to walk I go back inn to the bathroom. Pls help

(1 edit)

Should be fixed with the next update, hopefully soonish! Might be a bugfix on the main site's download too, least for the bathrooms https://hmadarktower.com/index.php/downloads/.

Is there any way to take less than 4 courses? Idk if its a bug on the version Im on, but the finish selecting button just takes me to the new courses menu and as I cant afford a 4th course the game softlocked. 

(1 edit)

It should be possible to take less than 4 courses, but sometimes the selection glitches out.  Choosing to take 5 of the cheapest courses, then declining to take them once it asks you to confirm seems to fix it for me. I'll try to get it debugged as soon as I can!

The latest version just updated does fix several issues with taking fewer than 4 classes, so hopefully it works better!

Trying to reload a save from Night, Day 1, Semester 9.  Same error when trying to reload the next morning's autosave.  Prior to this error, I had also lost access to all potion crafting recipes (completed Potions 3 class). Let me know if you want the save file.


V21.2 release, to be clear.

Thanks for letting me know! The save-file crashing was a known issue that I thought I had fixed...  The fact that the morning's autosave also broke is confusing, but I'll look into it! Anything else that happened before you saved if you can remember would also help

Encountered the same error after restarting, the morning after first going to the church at night, in Semester 3 with Anya's relationship level maxed.  Also, again lost access to all potion crafting after looking at the ingredient list.  Have a save from right before that I can do some repro work with

From what I've been able to tell, accessing the encyclopedia in any way erases or removes all of your current recipes.  It doesn't seem like retaking the class allows you to learn them again either.

(1 edit)

Thanks for this one! The latest version does away with the previous version of potion-making in favor of a better UI plugin version, but that will help me redo the lists for the encyclopedia so they're working properly again as well!

Hmm this doesn't seem to have the 22.1 release?

(+1)

I got really busy around the time I was uploading it and forgot to get it up here as well!

By the time I remembered, I got notified of a few bugs with the new events not working, so I figured I would fix them up first and just skip to the 23.1 release soonish.

It's available here in the meanwhile for anyone that wants access! https://hmadarktower.com/index.php/downloads/

It's a decent idea, but it front loads waaaaay too much information to the player without a practical application.


You're spamming your way through 20 minutes of dialogue boxes before you get to actually interact with the world, and by then the game expects you to memorize everything they told you.  I never even saw an H Scene because I just got bored from the lack of interactivity.

My advice?  Break the 'tutorial' up into a "Learn then Execute" style.  Teach the player something, and then send them out to utilize what they just learned that evening.  A week of that with the major classes, clubs and a part time job should be the most efficient way to teach your players the basics of what they need to understand your game.

(+3)

It's a good premise, though the gameplay loop feels a little... repetitive. Early dev, so I can forgive some of the bugs I came across, and from the list on the site it's looking that a lot of them are getting fixed anyway.

Otherwise, it's a good game so far
