Divine Dawn
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Divine Dawn is a text-based RPG in which you step into the role of a would-be hero, with dreams of greatness and no likelihood of achieving any of them in a peaceful world with no real genocidal threats.
Then you nearly die several times in a row, discover traces of an ancient mystery and (possibly) impending doom, and go on a road trip with a colorful cast of comrades to save the world! Maybe.
You've got a lot of fighting, therapy, adventure, and monster girls to deal with before we get to that point. Fortunately, you'll usually have a partner at your side to help you out in fights and offer witty(?) banter(?).
But only you can decide if it's worth trading your humanity for the power you need - otherworldly energies offer much, but will change your body over time. For better or worse, you are unlikely to end your journey the same person you began it as.
There are currently ~460,000 words of content. At an average reading speed, that's ~20-30 hours of gameplay.
I post daily progress updates and occasional content polls on the discord!

Is pregnancy going to be added to this game. I don't have a fetish. I just see it as a part of the game. Like the Rune Factory series.
Probably in some of the endings.
I have to report a small bug, or at least I think so, obviously I could be wrong. "frost bolt B" is supposed to inflict a 5% stack of spell vulnerability but it doesn't seem to do so, I haven't noticed any increase in damage even casting it multiple times on the same enemy
Is the debuff landing on the enemy at all? Like are they getting an icon of some sort on them? Cuz it could be bugged (ex. the spell doesn't actually apply it), I haven't tried it in a while, but it could just be that 5% is too small to make a difference earlygame.
I tried it now at level 35 against metrataton during morning sparring and the only one that appears is the chill stack. I inflicted a stack of 14 chill on her but no other icon appeared and the damage remained unchanged
Good catch! There was an invisible Bleed requirement that wasn't supposed to be there, fixed for next update.
Discussing Blood Magic in a different game made me wonder if the MC will ever do blood magic here. Sure, it can be super dangerous, little things like "killing you if you aren't careful", but I'm sure with the group he has they'll make sure he is able to use it responsibly, right?? Lessee, Metatron, Sarah, Celica and Aspasia and...uh that's it for "Responsible," Sam, Ashley, and Maya are definitely NOT, and I'm not so sure on Siofra or Ina either... ummm maybe it's better he doesn't learn it? If he's anything like my luck, there will be "it wasn't supposed to do that..." a lot (I have horrid luck).
I do wonder how much of Ashley's rather blatant flirting is "succubus related" and how much is just Ashley. Sarah is a lot more quiet in her flirting and when she does flirt she almost seems surprised, whereas Ashley flirts, flirts some more, and then flirts again just it case it wasn't enough!
You mentioned that Ina doesn't see Kuril or Kanadros as friends, does she view them as mentors or something? Yeah, Kuril's a bodyguard, but you can be bodyguard and friend too. Maybe because it's because she is a princess she doesn't want to admit they are friends?
Is it impossible to start off the game as a Unarmed fighter? I can't even basic attack. At least in the demo.
You need to start with Tiger or Crane martial arts to be a martial artist at the start. I'll add pure strength MA at some point as well.
OH! Okay. Thank you for letting me know. I was hella confused.
It isn't explained super well honestly, don't stress it. I'm still working on getting the class build to explain things a bit better.
In that case. I'll play through the demo as a lancer then. That was the second weapon choice I had in mind anyway. Are any other weapons like the fists that have a certain way to build to play them differently like a Strength Spear or something?
Most weapons are pretty straightforward. Several of them (especially the bows and greatsword) have a medium amount of elemental magic abilities that scale on magic.
Tiger martial arts are quite interesting, many skills mention mana usage or have magical effects (like celestial claws) but it is not necessary to invest in the magic skill, will there be a lore explanation for this? on the downside though the damage of the skills is quite low
Hey there! The idea was to have a somewhat mystical flavor without making it too punishing to use. Adding mana costs felt like it would make it awful. The base damage is fairly average (still better than shortbows, lol) but Tiger gets a nice form skill that really helps it spread Bleed everywhere, and traits to help it heal allies with every attack, so you deal decent scaling damage with solid utility for a weapon.
Thanks for the reply man, you made a really nice game. It's true, the ability to do damage while healing yourself and allies is pretty useful, plus the bleeding. Anyway, do you plan to write unique conversations if the MC is a martial artist and talks to Maya and other npc's who use martial arts themselves?
Glad you're enjoying it!
There will be some dialog swaps, but entirely unique conversations for something a small % of players can see would detract from doing conversations most/all players can see, so I wouldn't expect a ton of them.
Maya and Ashley will definitely get some degree of content if you are a martial artist as well, though. I love writing fights and sparring matches, like Sam/Metatron, are a good opportunity.
PEAK
I wonder if the MC has any relation to Lucifer. Both seem to have some relation to the abyss. Lucifer looks inward herself and finds the abyss, while Astaroth gets 5 Abyssal Corruption at the beginning of the game. Metatron also said Lucifer would be interested in Astaroth.
Mmm... all I can say for now without spoiling things is that you may get a chance to meet her down the road! Interesting theory though, she might have something to do with at least one party member's potential.
Is there going to be Grandchildren for the future of the story for The Mc's Mother ?.
I think that's the plan of about half the cast, lmao.
Thanks to my old ISP screwing me over, gotta wait till the new stuff is "free to play". Seriously, my ISP said "we are upgrading, but you aren't part of the area, so you gotta find a new ISP" That's all dealt with, but I think I'd rather watch Ashley's pranking on Metatron over dealing with that (be a lot more fun too)
Seeing Siofra flirt with the MC is interesting, I'm half expecting someone to comment that he seems to have all these babes around and they all seem to want him, and have him be all "uh....I wasn't PLANNING on it being that way..."
Sorry to hear that! ISP woes are awful, I wish we had more options where I live instead of exactly one.
MC is getting more confident (to a degree) as things progress, I can see him start to joke about it at some point, but also recognize the weight of trying not to break anyone's heart. Siofra, Ina, and soon Alicia are definitely going to drive that home - all are pretty aggressive about what they want.
I'm lucky the ISP I was able to get is a good one!
I noticed that with Ina, she feels the MC is the closest thing she has to a friend and while they give each other grief a LOT, I suspect that's because she feels she can tease him in a friendly way. Siofra I'm curios on, and Alicia...as in Selendis's daughter Alicia? Or just someone who shares the name?
One thing I noticed revisiting the "report to Selendis" action. She mentions a "possible compromise, where everyone is unhappy" Shouldn't that be everyone is happy? I realize compromises aren't great sometimes, but if everyone is unhappy about it...
And if anyone says you can't learn things from video games, I had to find out what an awl was after seeing Gareth refer to himself as one. Therefore, video games have expanded my knowledge of tools!
Ina is definitely excited to have a friend, even if she won't admit it (easily) lmao.
Alicia is Selendis's daughter and the final guaranteed party member.
The compromise comment is intentional. It's a reference to how no one gets everything they want from compromises; gallows humor on Selendis's part.
I know some of this stuff from a weird past with plenty of farm experience, but it's fun to look up some of it too! I research a lot of stuff to try to get ROUGHLY feasible content, tho obviously having magic and magitech gives me a lot of wiggle room. Always a good way to learn!
Wake up babe, new DD content just dropped.
Thanks for another great update, but I’m just a little curious about something. I’m wondering how many ‘chapters’ you’re planning to add to this game. For example, I’d assume the Deepwoods adventure was the first chapter, and the stuff before that was the exposition; and then the next chapter is gonna be, from what I remember, something about astronomy and the “mysterious object in space.”
That's a question I'm asking myself as well to a degree lol. I'd say we're about 1/3 through what I had planned that is actually reasonable to do, give or take a little. Not sure how things will work out in the end.
But the very rough idea was Hieroneiden arc (culminating in deepwoods, yea), hero's journey arc (culminating in Astrologia and finding out what's going wrong), and then an unnamed arc that culminates in the overall finale.
i don't know how to continue story i just got siofra on the team but only then i can do is adventure and go to badon and i have max affections and trust
If you have Siofra on the team, you're basically caught up on story. Next update will have more.
there are npcs in the update logs that I haven't met tho and scenes I don't have that were stated in the logs
You'd have to be more specific about who and what.
I don't know who Rosalyn is
Rosalyn was one of the characters you run into in the second Deepwoods area. She appears every run and has several scenes. If you visit her after clearing all of the Deepwoods Heart content and followup (knights, Ina, Siofra joins) you can visit her to see the newest content.
Can you describe what you've done and where you are?
Thanks for clarifying, that was very helpful to know exactly what to say!
Once you've met the Knight-Commander, the Deepwoods Verge area opens up and you can go adventuring there to progress the plot.
ok so what kinda transformations are gonna be in the game/ are already in the game?
there is 3 different kind of corruption that game tracks. holy, demonic, and abyssal but at these stage they are not doing anything. from what dev said they will cause some transformation if you get them to high +even but its not in game yet
Hi there, I had a question. If we already bought the game before do we have to pay for it again when an update comes out?
Nope, buy it once and get updates forever!
Well thats weird because I bought the 0.32 and now its asking me to pay for it again to get 0.33
It will still say "Buy Now" under the Purchase section regardless if you have bought the game or not.
You have to scroll to the top of the page, and click Download under "You own this game". You can also go to your collection under your profile and download it from there.
Can be confusing if you aren't used to buying games on itch.
Thank you so much for explaining that to him, I would not have done nearly as good of a job lmao.
The game is great, a lot of thought and hard work was put into it. There is a few bad, a bit too grindy to up affection and trust. There is also the dialog, MC think way too much, close to 50% of a event can be MC think, i try to not read his thought and just read the dialog and i think it was much better because the exchange, which is not interrupt it, feel more alive
Hope i wrote properly and in a way that can be understood
Keep up the good work
In the Cheat menu, you can alter the trust/affection gain rates, or directly add them. I actually get a lot of complaints that you get T/A too fast lol, so I figured I'd just let everyone adjust it to their own liking.
Glad you enjoyed the game overall!
Ok, so I was going to do a whole diary/day ??? bit, but I couldn't figure out what to write. So instead, I'm just gonna ask how did Cryswar came up with their name, and if anyone has tried moding the game?
P.S Glad you're taking your time Cryswar, I know the update will be awesome, keep up the good work.
P.P.S Do not try modding a lot into the game, it WILL end badly.
Cryswar was inspired by a golem-esque enemy in a VERY old game. I thought they looked cool and sounded cool. All there really is to it LMAO.
There are a few mods on the discord, Redshirt is actually working on a very ambitious one that adds a shitload of new weapons, skills, and even mechanics. It's kinda wild actually. Dude's is really good at this. Not a huge modding community though, not sure if due to lack of info or wat
That's kinda amazing, I made some mods as well, but only two since I didn't want to change too much of the game. The items I made were the Abyssal Longsword and Iron Skin. I tried giving screenshot, but Itch won't let me for some reason, lol. They're essentially cheat items, but it took a me bit to make them, so it feels good to use them.
Also, thanks for answering about how you got the name. See ya around Cryswar!
Took a while, but I got it.
Heyy nice dude! Glad you got them sorted, back when I played MGD I ended up modding in some cheat abilities so I could test my other content lol. Ultimately though, I just want people to have fun with DD, whether that be playing 'as designed' or in gigachad mode I don't mind at all. Glad you had fun modding and hope you enjoy your items!
So, I saw a friend of mine playing the game recently and now I'm really tempted to buy it. My only question is, is there like a way to further a relationship with a specific character and have that result in like a unique ending (Ultimately an end game question not sure if the game is done yet but that won't stop me from buying, I'm probably gonna buy it either way) or just a kind of consequences or reason to specifically pay attention to one character?
Hey there! The game is still in progress, depending on your reading speed there's maybe 30-40 hours of content if you do all of every girl's content? But it's far from done.
In the long term, yes, each character will have their own ending (and some harem endings). Bringing someone you like along on quests has unique dialogue for them as well, varying by character and mission.
I'm a sucker for H games that have well made stories and Gameplay and this one sure sounds like it fits the bill. I love the aspect when games have different endings and almagamate differently depending on your choices. I'll definitely be checking it out!
Nice, hope you enjoy! There's certainly a lot of writing lol, I wanted to make an adult game with real characters rather than porn, though as my first project there will be some scuff.
I MAY have cheated a little using Aspasia for my fight with Mara and Chernobog (I was knocked out for some of it, Aspasia was fine, then someone healed me. traceback coming too) but choosing "shield" was... DAMN. I know there's not really a "right" or "wrong" answer, but sparing the hobs seemed the best choice to me, and the response to Eldard, Mara, and Syvator (sp?) was...WOW EXTREMELY impressed with the writing for "shield"!
For the traceback...

Haha, hey, Aspasia is there to cockroach her way through fights, it's not cheating to use the tools the game gives you.
I do think Metatron is usually better tho, also very tanky and can heal allies as well, or herself to be even tankier.
Anyways, yeah, I put WAY too much work into those chocies, it's always very gratifying to hear that people liked them! I'm personally such a carebaer that I tested them all for dev purposes but immediately went Shield on my playthrough, I just like being the good guy and making everyone happy. Mara felt like a dark mirror to the MC, both of them doing similar things for the same reasons, she just didn't have the support she needed to stay on the right path and we have an option to finally improve things.
Thanks for the error report, I'll see if I can track it down.
Separate thing, better to have separate topic. In the final round with Siofra, the fire damage on the player and the help kept getting worse and worse - Fire damage went from 6 initially to 39 when I barely beat her (because of increasing fire damage!) Is it intentional that her fire damage gets more powerful? Also, a traceback, probably because Metatron was "reviving" me with Epione (I had no HP, she used it on me, then the error)

Siofra uses the same scaling Smoulder that the player has access to. It's a damage race, since we haven't had any of those before I wanted to try something different.
Thanks for the Epione report, will try to fix that.
Waiting to see who knights the MC first, Knight Mommy (Selendis?) or Ina. Ina's already mentioned she wants to knight him, but Selendis would probably be easier because of things like "convincing whoever Ina's mom is that the MC is worthy of being knighted might take some time"
Noticed that a tie between MC and the gob shaman went to the player, will that be the normal? I know it's rare that a D20 will both get a 13, but that's what happened, and the shaman got a wind blast for his troubles!
Edit to add something: if you try and ask the angel (Michael) for a date and she flirts back, she says she's only remove it she wants to... it should be she'll only remove it (the geas) IF she wants to, you forgot an if!
Dude is probably gonna be knighted by all of them at the end of this adventure.
Thanks for the report on the geas, I totally missed that one.
The tie is intentional I think, to make it a bit less punishing.
MC is gonna end up with multiple knighthoods lmao. Should be a fun civil war arc :^)
Sorry for the late response on this one, my Chrome tabs are an awful mess and I didn't realize this was sitting there unreplied to.
TLDR: Amazing game love the mechanics, can't wait for abyss magic. Nether-Fist + Aether is funny.
Criticism: Dialogue between NPC's a bit wordy but otherwise amazing.
Game is amazing; the mechanics for the RPG elements are amazing. Probably one of the smoothest (gameplay wise as well as description/backstory wise) RPG style VN's I've played. The story was smooth, though a little wordy; it was something that allowed me to understand the game a lot better (and geek out over it).
I especially liked how you made the
secret-ish?magic attunements; Aether and Nether. Made a really stupid combo that actually worked amazingly well with unarmed + nether + aether. So I got the Nether-Fist style (the name was epic will never remember it tho. :P Akaz something). Imagine high res + healing + stunning + stealing mana. Pretty dumb. Bleed and percent based poison at the same time (and I heal from bleed lol). Nas?spam was amazing.What I am mostly curious about is Abyss though I have my own personal theories on what that is. Can't wait for that to be added; I have an extra attunement slot for that one (finally allowing me to become a god fr).
In conclusion amazing work as of now; you actually seem to be passionate about the game. Hopefully the game lives up to your passion.
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the game!
It's always hard to get the exact right balance of dialogue and info dumps, sadly. I'd like to think I've gotten better at it over time, but ultimately that bar is different for everyone. I'll keep trying to improve regardless.
That combo sounds pretty fun! Nether and Aether are pathways to powers some deem unnatural (by the Jedi), and a lot of content for them, some upcoming. Abyss... that one will be expanded on over time for sure. Can't say too much now without spoiling it.
I may not be as fast or experienced or smart as I'd like, but I have enthusiasm and stubbornness, if it's survived 3 years hopefully it'll make it another 3 lol.
Sarah overheard something about Ashley pulling "a prank to end all pranks" and is worried it's gonna scare Metatron away!
Just wanting to make sure things are still good and you haven't forgotten about us here on itch! You seem to do a bunch of updates then nothing for awhile... are you taking a break, were you forced to because of illness, are things still going but it's behind the scenes for awhile, did Amnelis kidnap you... just wanna know what's going on!
This is a minor thing, and maybe not worth it, but if you challenge Siofra and lose, the next time you challenge her, maybe have the dialogue reflect that you are trying again? It seemed a little on the weird side to see the whole setup 5 times because the third part of the fight is challenging and I lose at the third piece, yet she acts like she's never seen me before... is memory loss a thing for daughters of Gaea?
Still plugging away, will do a proper progress post soon. I've been at this 3 years now, no need to worry about me forgetting about itch.
I'll look into the Siofra thing, I thought I had that set up already.
my man charles deserves some art 😭🙏
Someday down the road! He's a fun char and relatively important.
Hmm, do you have any idea yet to fix the mana problem with aura skill. You can to fix it by reserve mana or Hp like Poe 1 or make another energy bar to reverse like Poe 2. In Poe 2 instead of reserve mana or Hp for aura they make a new energy bar just only for reserve aura skill, and they have some passive to lower the reserve cost too. You can copy this and apply into your game or you can just make the aura skill it only take 1 time cost and dont need more mana every single turn in a battle. With me i still prefer the mechanic like Poe 2 just because at this time our build can be more variety because dont be limit by mana, hmm and i think you should expand the mana pool too, with this you can make the skill have more variety upgrade like more mana cost also more big chunk dame and you also can make some skill that require fuking big mana and the reward is dumb useless :)))
I have a tentative plan yeah, reserved mana, and magic/focus having more direct impact on mana. Not super well fleshed out yet tho, and it'll be A LOT of work, so it's down the road a bit cuz I have a lot of story to worry about.
Do you know whats the source for the temple boss/abomination music? As well as the deepwoods theme (the one with the bird noises in the background) and the deepwoods heart battle theme. Also theres a trait called 'Quickcast' that I think doesnt work. I assume its supposed to make offensive spells resolve at +1 initiative, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything.
On a side note, this game is pretty great, not even mentioning the nsfw content. Especially the lore. I look forward to seeing it continue to develop 😊.
I commissioned the abomination boss theme for the game. I don't remember the others off the top of my head, I think Remanold? The About page lists most of the attributable music, though which is which isn't always clear.
And thanks! I wanted to make a genuinely good game., it's stil la work in progress but I'm proud of what I have so far.
So sad woke up last week to a borked Android update that corrupted all the data on my phone losing my save file. 😞
OOF, sorry to hear that. You can use the cheat menu to help catch up quickly at least, if it helps.
Please dont let your game suffer like the other ones, i played. I paid for this. Please continue to do all you can too continue too develop this game properly. Especially for Android. I don't have high income to buy every phone or a top computer.
DD isn't going anywhere, I'll keep plugging away at it until it's done. I put a good amount of effort into minimizing file size to keep it playable as widely as possible.
thank you. I greatly enjoy your game. I will continue too play.
What is Sarah's theme music called and who composed it? Is there anywhere I can find it outside of the game (like a youtube vid or something)? I love it so much.
I thiiink this is the one? She has a few themes in various situations so not 100% sure
Fantastic musician, sadly they stopped uploading a year ago so I'm not sure how things are going for them.maaaybe i missed some kind of dialogue somewhere but... why did Sarah suddenly gain a red streak of hair during one of the scenes?
That's the oldest CG in the game, and the first time I ever commissioned anyone. The artist and I had some misunderstandings about exactly what I wanted. No shade to him, he did a good job with it. At some point I will get a new CG to replace it.
Hmm other kind of magic, do you have any plan for a lot of other magic in game instead just 4 basic element to create the world and 2 opposite but also very close element ( light and dark ) i would think that if you can make some kind of combine magic of other element together, it may make something cool but maybe to complex and hard for you to do all of it, if you seriously go for this thing it can make you depress a lot when thinking about
Advanced magic types are mostly hybrid elements. I have quite a few planned (lightning, sand, metal, crystal, etc) but they're still a ways out. Zephyrmancy (wind spirit magic) will likely be coming first, probably in the next month or two.
Arcane will likely come at some point as well, Blood... may or may not.
Wait, didn't Dad Aurion warn about Arcane and Blood Magic being dangerous if you aren't careful? (meaning, keep it well away from Sam!)
Wind spirit magic...I don't know why but I have this image of Siofra summoning one, then the MC summoning one and they argue over which one is better/cuter and instead of the multipart fight it's a pokemon-style fight where the better wind spirit wins! If it's Siofra she does this "YES!!! I'm better, neener neener", she takes youe wind spirit, then you have to fight her as normal!
Asta hasn't exactly done a great job of staying away form danger so far, what's one other way to destroy your soul?
LMAO that Siofra scene sounds highly amusing, she's definitely competitive enough. Pokemon battle mechanic go.
I wonder what kind of magic there would be for Aeromancy and Thermal magic(I can't remember the proper name for it).
Good question! Fire + wind = lightning, in true Avatar fashion lmao.
I always did enjoy lightning magic.
I love it, my favorite elemental type magic!
Hmm what version is the demo , or it just have a limit scene
Ah yo i was check the old comments, the demo actually just one version behind the paid :v wow, how can you manage your life with kind of this support :)))
Yes, the only difference between the demo and the paid version is 1 update. So usually around 2-4 weeks behind.
I wanted to make the game free, but didn't make enough from donations to make it work, so I tried this as a compromise. It's still not a lot of money, but better than donations-only, so I'm gonna keep trying to make it work! I just want to make a game people can enjoy, so I'm not worried about making a lot of money, just hopefully enough to survive on lol.
Hmm i tried the game and see the trait, skill of this game. You actually make a good rpg combat mechanic in this game and we also have various playstyle too, which thing that dont have in a lot of normal rpg games :/ and it have team too, so you will have some thing to understand to make a good build, which is the thing i like, not too overwhelming like POE (uhh... That thing is not for normal human to play) anyways, do you have some suggest for my build, i like to make a super tanky, fast health regenerate and morderate dame ( i have something in my head but i am curious to know what kind of idea you will give me )
Hey there! Yeah, I've put a lot of work into trying to make it a good RPG without being too complex. It's a work in progress, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far.
Building Vitality is always a good idea, for any build, if you want to make the game easier. Good regen traits, better damage mitigation, it's just hard to go wrong with.
Agility for Glancing Hit works too, it's better when it works but more unreliable lol.
I personally tend to use a sword and board or greatsword build when testing cuz I'm kinda like you, I like being tanky with ok damage.
Dipping into magic gives you a lot of options, starting with Earth magic is nice for cheap buffs. Not necessary, but having some magic (the stat) lets you view more magic teaching scenes, which people seem to really like.
Builds can definitely vary based on your party member, each of them has their own build (some are a bit customizable) so it's hard to say what you would enjoy the most, cuz it depend son who you end up wanting to adventure with.
Hmm, i like greatsword too, but it go for more defense than regenerate, so i go try the great axe, the regen is fast but the problem is heal cost :/ and you also need to make your char go for more lower Hp, it kinda risky if this game have boss have big dame skill, in the secondary weapon i am thinking i should go for a little magic because maybe i will meet some monster have some kind of physical dame resistance but on other hand i also want to have a greatsword or sword and shield weapon just maybe i will meet big dame skill from boss. Haizz the more rpg game i played the more thing i need to think when making a build in new rpg game cause idk what the fuk kind of mechanic will happen in new game. Just like Poe the fucking mechanic of it, it is a great game but it soo complex for my tiny brain to understand a fucking 2 hour video explaining basic crafting gear of it
Greataxe is pretty OP. Greatsword has good defense and can still have good regen. You can respec and change weapons ingame, so I wouldn't stress the choice too much. You can also equip 2 weapons and switch between them in battle.
About the only thing you can't change ingame is learning Earth magic since the earth magic trainer isnt ingame yet, but she will be in a month or so.
My general recommendation is just starting with a weapon/element you like, and putting your main damage stat and Vitality on auto-grow so you're guaranteed to do good damage and survive pretty well. Anything beyond that is for when you are more comfortable with builds.
And yeah magic, after reading some trait and abilities in this, i also need to go for a little bit magic :/ it have mana, the fcking mana, i need more mana regenerate and also maximum mana, because i will use a lot of aura skills to buff my char
Ah!!!! The fucking mechanics, why no rpg game i play it dont need a brain to play when making a build, but on other hand i love the mechanics of rpg soo much because the challenge it give for player and the variety thing you can do with mechanics, some people can abuse the mechanics to make very weird stuff and build but it also very efficiency, the more complex it is the more weird thing those guy can do
Stalker Celica is both funny and terrifying! MAKE IT WORK!
I think of all the core group being stalkerish, Celica fits it the best, especially if you pursue a relationship with Sam. Like, "why is the MC hanging out with HER more than me?!" Those two really have a rivalry going... I don't see either succubus being a stalker, Maya might just because she's hoping for more headpats, and Aspasia might just because she finds you interesting. Depending how much you tease Ina while she's in the group before heading off to Selendis Ina might stalk you for revenge pranks!
Back in the day, when I was modding MGD, the original Celica concept was... yeah she was very much a yandere, to put it lightly. Straight up rapes you if you used her spell too much. Quit working on it before I got to her, and DD's Celica is a very different character (much more fleshed out), but there's still a bit of crazy in there.
Aspasia can get VERY possessive in the long term, imo the highest ranking stalker but only if you meet a fair few requirements. Imagine a possessive slime gf getting uncomfortable and clingy if you're not inside her half the time.
I’m still trying to figure out what secondary type of magic I should learn. My fighting style is effectively switching between skills and spells to increase damage bonus for both physically and magical damage.
Might be worth looking into attack spells with especially useful buffs or debuffs. Firebolt B might be an option for the magic buff. Depending on your stats, Flaming Greatsword or some of the Aether/Nether spells could be good combos, or Nether in general for debuffs.
It's just something small, but I noticed how Sarah will stay on screen whenever you do morning exercises with her, kind of got me how she just stood there until I do adventure.
Which version is this issue on? It should be fixed in the latest.
It would be kinda funny if some of the girls stalked you intentionally though, like Maya or Celica barely peering out of the side of the screen occasionally.
It's by the 0.31
It would definitely be funny, another question, apologies for asking a lot buttt
The channeling stuff like havoc gale, gale, or tailwind.
Does the mana cost increased by 1 each buffs I add?
If so, I messed up for having 3 buffs that would cost a total of 4.5 mana to activate.. I only got 1.5 regeneration
Ah, yeah, that was fixed in 0.32.
The mana cost to activate channels increases by 1 for each channel. The upkeep cost is just their costs added together.
does cheating in the stat insight to see stat specific content of the game bad, what do you all think?
I included the cheat menu so people could customize difficulty/power as they pleased. It's not bad and shouldn't cause any real issues. It will make the game *slightly* easier since you can ignore all defense/resist, but most enemies don't have much/any.
You'd only get a few line swaps though, I tried not to tie too much to insight, just some flavor text.
Steam Sale Boys!!! Heck Yeah, I just got paid too! Timing couldn't have been better, been wanting to play more than the demo
Hell yeah! One-time purchase keeps it simple, you'll always have the latest updates. Hope you have fun!
