Yes, it's time for "hmmmm maybe a mistake, maybe not"! Latest version, when you check on Ina, there's a line of "too honest with the other" and I'm wondering if it should be "each other" instead of "the other", it makes a bit more sense (at least to me). Not wrong per se, just one of those things where I'm used to A instead of the B that is written.
And seeing a mighty Archangel headpatting a doggo girl and wondering who enjoyed that more is one reason why Metatron is required when you visit the area! Seriously, there should be a "see who can do the best job giving Maya a headpat!"
Hello, just tried the demo, loving it so far (I got to meeting Ashley and Sarah) but, before going further, I would like to know if there is any way to transfer the save from the demo to the main game.
Because if there is no way to transfer, well, it would be a bummer to repeat all of that.
Yes, saves are freely transferrable! It SHOULD be automatic between updates and free/paid versions, though I've never tried going backwards in versions lol.
I was playing the demo, then went and bought it, and there was no issues for me at all. I use windows, but I imagine Android and Mac would have the same thing in regards to saving and updating. Hope you like it as much as I do, it's one of those games that is "oh...it's 2 AM? geez guess I lost track of time" because it's so engrossing!
Always good to hear from you! And thanks for confirming the upgrade worked for you as well, if there were any issues I would certainly like to know so I could fix them.
Explain why would they do that? what makes sun wukong so important that he need to be here? Whatever your desire or kink is go find it and stop trying to shove it everywhere
Love the game and I am really adoring the girls distinct personalities.
The demo works without problems on PC and Android.
I like the music and art. The story is interesting and I really appreciate the detail and lore of the world.
Can I ask for clarification on what routes are available in game? I really want to have a they'll live happily ever after for the whole party. So a harems route and a all friends route. Also, will there be bad ends?
Thanks for your work and for keeping with this game. It's a great game, and I have fun putting time into playing it.
Please be careful and or safe alright and good luck in development, Cryswar.
Glad you're enjoying! I definitely wanted each girl to feel different.
The hope is to have a generic harem ending, unique endings for individual girls/small groups, and maybe a friends ending. We're not talking like, 30 hour endings for each, but enough text that it doesn't feel like a total coop. I don't plan any bad ends, but some bittersweet endings may end up happening for those who like that vibe.
Thank you for the kind words in general, it's always pleasant to read! I finished an Ashley scene last night, probably Metatron today, I'll keep working as I can~
Your health and happiness come first. I might get crap for this but real fans can wait. As long as your trying and are well rested and happy I know your game will get completed someday, and that's enough for me.
So no rushing alright, I don't want you burning out.
I am looking forward to every update and any progression is great news. So thanks for the info. Especially the Harem route, everyone being truly happy is always my favorite.
Appreciate the kind words! I am keeping at it and finishing scenes, but irl and health do keep coming up lol. While the game has never been profitable, I love the characters and story, so while content speed may wax and wane I don't see myself burning out on it, just going slower at times.
And I agree! While I'm personally more of a 1-3 girls player, I definitely want a harem route, and most importantly of all, I want all the girls to end up happy, even if not romantically. That's why I make them suffer now, lol.
This is a weird question, but someone asked about it and I'm going "uhhhh...." what visual engine does Divine Dawn use? Not Renpy, that's the game engine, he was wanting to know what the visual engine was. You might get more fans! (and maybe not, but he was interested)
Had a funny conversation in a different discord about DD, mostly another fan talking about how great the story is, and someone either looking stupid or not separating the rpg aspect and the story, because the one who was "Rpg-style combat, not interested" also said he loves a good story...
Divine Dawn is entirely inside of Renpy. I coded the RPG stuff in Python myself, but Renpy handles almost everything visual, aside from some bits I overwrote. I don't know what a visual engine is, sorry.
Not everyone likes the mix of story and RPG, which is part of why I added so much depth but also a lot of cheats, so people could engage with it as much or as little as they wanted. It sucks to see people dismiss it because of one aspect or another, but ultimately that's what the game is and it doesn't appeal to everyone. I don't know if it was the right choice though, this was my first game and not the best start lol.
Personally, I think you have a great mix of RPG and story.. You have an early hook, believable characters, and the game is FUN! Gets a little crazy at times, but more because so much is happening! Just keep Ina, Kuril, Sam, Celica, Sarah, Ashley, Metatron, Maya, and all the rest going the way you are. :)
I appreciate the vote of confidence! I will definitely try my best, I finally got a giant Ashley scene done and somewhat repaired my faith in myself lol.
Itch is sloooooowly adding more and more games to the feed - two new ones reappeared this week - hoping eventually they will add you too. I'm down to....4 or 5 that still have to return, but since I gave you money, not sure how long it'll be before you show up in my feed again.
Any ideas on when we will be able to see Succubus MILF and what her reaction to Metatron (and Sarah hanging around with Metatron) will be? Will Sarah defend Metatron against SuccuMom? Will SuccuMom find an angel and a succubus hanging out together "cute"? Inquiring minds want to know!
It's still only free games, so far; reindexing of anything paid is nonexistent as far as I can tell. And I'm definitely feeling the loss of income. Itch was never the main money maker but every bit helped.
Succumilf is planned for the mountains, which isn't too far away. Next update (hopefully in a few weeks) will finish up in Badon, then it's plains (1 update), then mountains (possibly 2-3). She'll be interesting and I'm eager to see how she works out.
I love how Sarah and Metatron get along now though, they're both sweethearts!
You know, just had an idea for a bit of a funny scene. Maybe just as the party’s about to head out towards Astralogia, the MC’s parents show up; was thinking maybe they set out towards Badon themselves after running into hostile hob activity or something. Wonder how they’d react to the newer party members…
One thing I noticed- at the moment, the only way to get Earth magic is to choose it from the very start; at least, I’ve never found someone to train the character in it. That kind of feels like an oversight, given how all 5 other elements are trainable as soon as you first leave with the party.
Also, any possibility of Metatron teaching some of her celestial martial art to the MC? Would be pretty cool to combine it with Ashley’s Nether martial arts.
Siofra will be the Zephyr magic teacher (wind, focused on spirits) and possible spirit summoning and advanced fire magic. Kandrs will likely be (name TBD) tide/deep water magic and possibly advanced water. Succubus mom will likely be advanced nether. I haven't finalized all of the details yet.
Well, since I’m guessing we haven’t even reached the halfway point yet, I’d rather surprised if you did have all the details finalized lol. Having dabbled a bit in writing and game design, I understand how complex things get.
I've commented about it twice in the last week if you want some progress info, but I will make a proper progress report someitme soon! Things are going along, just not as fast as I'd like.
How will the corruption content work, will we have to choose one corruption path or can we do all of them at once? You know become a monstrosity beyond comprehesion, a being that shouldn't exist.
It will be possible to mix some corruptions (aether/nether) for a unique result, and you can have multiple 20%+, but for the most part going past 50% in one will lock you out of 50%+ of others. Most do not play nice together and fundamentally cannot.
WARNING! Told someone about this as a fun AVN and he's checking it out now, you might have a new fan! Told him about Sam's accidental putting the MC in a temple, meeting 3 800+ year old gals, fighting off a horror to get back, meeting mom and dad, accidentally foiling a royal kidnapping, and getting accidentally involved in politics and he was interested!
Anyway, hoping things are less stressful for you and that Itch isn't beating down your throat anymore. They apparently still won't let people find ya (his exact wording was "fucking itch, just let me find my porn dammit") but we found a workaround!
Ay nice lol, hope he enjoys it! I'm kinda glad I redid the opening so it gives a better impression, but it's still not on the level of the game later on so I'll always be a lil worried about the intro.
Appreciate the kind words, things are actually going okay (relatively, for now, lol). Been getting a lot of writing done and pretty happy with new scenes, moving stories forward, etc. Remains to be seen how the stuff with Itch goes, i havent been able to get paid in a month now so that sucks, and no updates from them, but they haven't banned me yet so... thats a start.
Yeah, I underestimated how much work some of these scenes would take lol. This update will move a LOT of stories forward. I'm doing ok though thankfully!
well i have only played the game to the forest camp point and have done two adventures and some other stuff so apologies if i get something wrong.
well, at first I found the writing a bit odd but soon it grew on me along with characters, your pretty good with character development and pretty decent dialogue as of now occasionally the MC reacts to information in bit of an odd way and sometimes it feels like he has more information or i missed something in a conversation aside from that great dialogue.
character design is pretty good they look nice
Plot is a pretty cool one normally the type of character the hero is that type is used in other shows to uplift the protagonist to show the wannabe hero against the true one, here our hero does have heroic qualities and wants excitement or wants to be a hero, sort of like Nobody(American Hollywood film) he passes his test of mettle and decides he wants more (also who tf is just gonna let a creature of aether go after seeing it and fighting with it) raised by a mother and father that were not given art but whom i would have loved to see more of ( mad scientist and brute warrior sounds very fun) and i see someone read HP Lovecraft the abyss seems interesting so lots to see lots to do
now lewds i feel like they could be improved, the best ones i have seen so far were the ones in the beginning with one of the two succubus' (by the way was the promise of a threesome with those two just words?) or one of the after ones tho even those seemed to suffer from lack of art. I feel the more recent ones at camp are not very descriptive and having absolutely no art or animations depicting anything is disappointing for improvement i recommend improvement of your description of the acts and some art and/or animation (by the way i think the best in terms of description has to be taking Sarah's path after getting home)
also by the way why does Sarah's outfit only change when we go with her i don't see why the hero's mother would not give her a change of clothes at one point
sex battles, interesting the demi-humans here are a colorful bunch regardless i know you said you will add magic but once again i feel that you need to be more descriptive (apologies for being vague about the writing and description of the lewds generally I'm specific about the problem but if you want i can try to give some examples) and once again art and/or animations would be lovely and also i think if your doing one in camp or somewhere i think there should something for whether you win or lose whether unique rewards,dialogue,XP or scenes is upto you
this might be me but i treat the sex fights as just another fight tho could just be me but may i request a QoL change to the sex battle UI in the personality tab you could place whether being gentle or rough is more effective and what position are they weak in, this would be unlocked as you fight them and learn what their weaknesses are.
aside from that story seems to be great just lewds to be worked on (ironically)
i wish you the best of luck upon your future endeavors and your lord of mysteries but with a harem and in a fantasy world
I don't know how Corruption works, anyway to decrease cause to horny. Is it possible in the future dev'll add more photo in the scene? And pls add map or anything to show where we are. all you can add it in 1st Palace scene with Ino.
I don't have a world map, just a rough mental image of where things are. It is something I want to do at some point!
Yeeee I'm very proud of the deepwoods stuff, I think it's the best part of the game, with choices that matter and a strong introduction to the spiritual dangers your parents warned you about. It's finally the aventure the main character wanted!
I try to make important choices obvious so no one gets caught off guard!
Siofra joining is around the end of current content. If you're on the paid version there's another update of camp content, next update (next few weeks, hopefully) will have more story scenes.
If you already bought from itch, you will keep getting updates as I release them unless Itch bans me! And thank you for the kind words, I will keep going.
You MUST see! The very first headpat challenge, sponsored by Maya, on who can give her the best headpats! Will favorite Metatron win, or will a challenger take top honors??
Anyway hoping things are well with you, and that you are still plugging away on Divine Dawn (and thanks to your "try this!!", working on From the Sin!) Are you getting a ton of "newest version here" and "sexy photo" posts that are spam like a few other devs I'm following are having to deal with, or are they leaving you alone?
One thing I am curious on, when succubus MILF shows up, will Ashley and Sarah bond with her or will they view her as a rival? They seem OK with everyone for the most part but ya never know...
I am still plugging away, despite Itch's recent spasms with adult games lol. Been a stressful week, not that the recent Steam crackdown helped either. Puritans always have to ruin everything.
Succumom is too nice to have rivals (except maybe Rosalyn, lmao) and I am actually really excited to see how she and the existing succs get along. It might be a little awkward at first, but they're all very old succubi, so it's basically the same thing, right?
No worries, I know the recent crackdown screwed so many people over, stupid overreach reaction...
You haven't been threatened on Patreon have you? Want to keep supporting ya but if itch is going to be the fun police might have to go elsewhere for updates and support!
Let's just say it was doubleplus ungood for my mental state for a day or two there lol.
Thankfully, I haven't gotten any personal threats from steam/patreon yet, so far they've mostly been targeting games with incest or nonconsensual themes. I HOPE things will work out on Itch as well, supposedly they're targeting similar things, but right now I and almost everyone else are just waiting for itch to re-list our games.
They do claim that they won't completely remove a game unless it breaks rules so you should still be able to download, and if that stays true I'll keep updating it here for previous purchasers. May or may not be able to make new sales, we'll see.
Your Game is Amazing. If could take over the Earth Those types of People would have there own island to form there own and leave the rest of us the hell alone..
Made an account just for this, but are Gaea and all the others based off fucking Primordials from Exalted? God damn am I happy to get the reference if so. (Based off of, nothing here officer!)
The Third Circle, Second Circle, First Circle and tiers matching up is what made me catch it, im still glad to see the ideas and such out in the wild.
Oh, and the basic elements remind me of fate, or rather the stuff that fate magecraft elements were based off of and stuff. Same with Gaea.
Cool that the kabballah references are somewhat correct given my own understanding on that topic too - fun fact, Kether is 'visible god' to Ayin 'Invisible God', and Ayin would metaphorically be a few steps above. As far as it was explained to me.
Sorry for gushing about the world building but its just cool to see someone use ideas and knowledge from franchises I recognize. Especially since several times when worldbuilding myself and making a fantasy setting I shameless stole those same ideas. just because they are so cool.
There are definitely some Exalted references! The circles of souls are the big one, though there's a mention of warstriders as well. I tried not to obviously base each goddess on anything, they're more-or-less unique to the setting, or at least I hope so.
There's some Fate blood here as well, and a lot of inspiration from IRL alchemical concepts.
I spent a lot of time researching the kabbalah, and it's generally pretty accurate, with some tweaks to fit the setting. Ayin is related to Ein Soph Aur, which is namedropped ingame. There will be more of the tree of death later.
I joke sometimes that this whole project was just an excuse to worldbuild, so it's always cool to see people enjoy it!
This has been a test of the emergency headpat system. If this had been an actual emergency, Metatron would have been patting Maya's head already and Ashley would demand equal time, or something.
Anyway, hoping things are well. In going through Ashley's "date" with the MC (when she gets a new outfit) I can't help thinking "Ashley + Sam = chaos" given they seem to do a pretty good job on their own and when you pair them together...
Going through the "report to Selendis" again, kind of feels like Ina fled because she wanted to learn more and not coast, and maybe not be "oh you are X's daughter" but her own person. Although she may have burned a bridge by fleeing the way she did... "Hi Mom, I fled from responsibility and found a friend/beau, aren't things great?!"
Things are improving on my end, got a Metatron scene done that I really liked. I really want to do a Sarah date, but idk if I want to write 3 h scenes in one event, lmao, she would be a dangerous girlfriend. Sam and Ashley is an interesting pair, not sure how they would interact but there's one way to find out!
That was the general vibe I was going for with Ina, wanting to move out of her mother's shadow and learn more to actually be ready for when she becomes queen. She, Asta, and the upcoming Alicia all have a similar issue - growing up in the shadow of someone that seems unassailably perfect to them. Ina's mom is... definitely not going to be happy, but as long as Ina doesn't die in the process she'll get over it, lmao.
Just assumed you were busy writing and making sure things made sense. Still, wanted to check in, and figured "headpat emergency" would work! Regarding some of the lesser characters (Charles from the Banon Church, and the shopkeeper Olivia) are you going to get art for them eventually? I'm fully aware "minor character picture" is down the list for things to do/get art for, but I do like the pictures instead of text.
Do wonder, since both Selendis and Ina are really impressed with Astaroth, if they both are gonna knight him, or if one knights him the other can't, or there's going to be a playful rivalry between them because of Astaroth... eh, what's a few more awkward situations for him?
Hey there! Yes, I hope to get art of them eventually. I have a few sketches, especially for Olivia, but no final art. It will happen eventually(tm). Probably when Olivia gets more content, lol.
He can be knighted by both! (and a husband to both). Alicia and Ina will definitely have some rivalries though, and perhaps competition...
on demo, if enemy and allies both have "riposte" effect like the water magic mirror skill, any attack will cause infinite recursion (and thus have renpy throw error screen)
Hi, just got back to the game but am now playing from mobile (used to play on PC). Is there a control to hide the text box so that I can appreciate *those* scenes to the fullest? Cheers mate!
That's a good question. I added an experimental text hider to Sarah's missionary CG, but not other scenes. I know on desktop, the H key hides all UI/dialog. I will look into it and see if I can find a universal solution for android.
So have you written "Kuril kisses MC on the lips" and MC wondering what a human-shark hybrid will be like because he loves Ina so much yet? :P
Seriously, hoping things are well with ya and unless something changes (I doubt it but with my luck...) I should be able to slide some money to ya next month, but unsure how Itch handles giving a dev money. Do I need to do anything specific, or is it pretty straightforward? Also, do I need to bow to Demon Queen Ashley, give Maya 500 headpats, or let Sarah know she is a truly important part of the team? (Doing the last one anyway, but still...)
78,000 word erotic fanfiction of Asta and Kuril my beloved
I'm doing okay, going into this week I'm cautiously optimistic that things will go well! At least I have a lot of ideas for scenes I want to do. I hope you're doing well too!
Appreciate the sentiment, but as always take care of yourself first. On Itch... I think it's just rebuying the game with whatever cost you want? I'm honestly not sure, I don't use itch much these days since I commission stuff offsite instead of using premade assets.
All three of those last things are a good start though! I'm sure Sarah would appreciate it in particular, poor thing.
Sarah and Maya convinced me that it would be a good idea to purchase it instead of just talking about it. Maya said something about "all the headpats" and Sarah just looked so adorable I couldn't resist! Since it's through itch, does that mean every time there's an update I'll need to give you money again, or was it a once-off and I just need to make sure Maya has access to all the headpats? (No worries on making sure t's not an issue, I checked that before giving you money)
Dammit, I fell asleep and lost my original post lmao. So this one will be a little shorter, lol
Maya is very cute and deserves headpats, but Sarah is also very cute and pattable, which is very important
You only need to buy once to get updates forever, I know some games do the other way but it doesn't feel right to me. I appreciate the support though, and hopefully the new updates will be worth it! The last one was pretty massive at the very least~

I love your game. BTW i bought Etria Odyssey and i just got a Kitten so i haven't much game time lately.
Explain why would they do that? what makes sun wukong so important that he need to be here? Whatever your desire or kink is go find it and stop trying to shove it everywhere
Thanks for the kind words! I recognize the Etrian Odyssey name, and love cats lmao, hope things are going well for you.

Not really an oversight, the earth magic trainer just took a lot longer to introduce than I had expected. Alicia will be here soon enough.
out of curiosity, will Kandros or Siofra be instructors for more advanced magic in their respective elements?
Also, any possibility of Metatron teaching some of her celestial martial art to the MC? Would be pretty cool to combine it with Ashley’s Nether martial arts.
Regarding Metatron martial arts... not immediately. Maybe down the road, or an offshoot of them, or it may be locked to Aether corruption path only.
Siofra will be the Zephyr magic teacher (wind, focused on spirits) and possible spirit summoning and advanced fire magic. Kandrs will likely be (name TBD) tide/deep water magic and possibly advanced water. Succubus mom will likely be advanced nether. I haven't finalized all of the details yet.
Well, since I’m guessing we haven’t even reached the halfway point yet, I’d rather surprised if you did have all the details finalized lol. Having dabbled a bit in writing and game design, I understand how complex things get.
This is my first time trying to make a game and it's certainly been a lot more work than I had hoped admittedly.
How are you dev. Please update some you can share. Whatever your process or if you stuck with something. Please share . We with you bro.
I've commented about it twice in the last week if you want some progress info, but I will make a proper progress report someitme soon! Things are going along, just not as fast as I'd like.
How will the corruption content work, will we have to choose one corruption path or can we do all of them at once? You know become a monstrosity beyond comprehesion, a being that shouldn't exist.
It will be possible to mix some corruptions (aether/nether) for a unique result, and you can have multiple 20%+, but for the most part going past 50% in one will lock you out of 50%+ of others. Most do not play nice together and fundamentally cannot.
So, no bringer of balance between Aether and Nether, huh?
I specifically noted aether/nether as having a combo path planned!
So the bringer of balance is still possible... I am looking forward to it.
WARNING! Told someone about this as a fun AVN and he's checking it out now, you might have a new fan! Told him about Sam's accidental putting the MC in a temple, meeting 3 800+ year old gals, fighting off a horror to get back, meeting mom and dad, accidentally foiling a royal kidnapping, and getting accidentally involved in politics and he was interested!
Anyway, hoping things are less stressful for you and that Itch isn't beating down your throat anymore. They apparently still won't let people find ya (his exact wording was "fucking itch, just let me find my porn dammit") but we found a workaround!

Appreciate the kind words, things are actually going okay (relatively, for now, lol). Been getting a lot of writing done and pretty happy with new scenes, moving stories forward, etc. Remains to be seen how the stuff with Itch goes, i havent been able to get paid in a month now so that sucks, and no updates from them, but they haven't banned me yet so... thats a start.
hey man you doing ok? you havent updated or replied in awaile, i hope you are well you are fantasti
Yeah, I underestimated how much work some of these scenes would take lol. This update will move a LOT of stories forward. I'm doing ok though thankfully!
Hello there,
well i have only played the game to the forest camp point and have done two adventures and some other stuff so apologies if i get something wrong.
well, at first I found the writing a bit odd but soon it grew on me along with characters, your pretty good with character development and pretty decent dialogue as of now occasionally the MC reacts to information in bit of an odd way and sometimes it feels like he has more information or i missed something in a conversation aside from that great dialogue.
character design is pretty good they look nice
Plot is a pretty cool one normally the type of character the hero is that type is used in other shows to uplift the protagonist to show the wannabe hero against the true one, here our hero does have heroic qualities and wants excitement or wants to be a hero, sort of like Nobody(American Hollywood film) he passes his test of mettle and decides he wants more (also who tf is just gonna let a creature of aether go after seeing it and fighting with it) raised by a mother and father that were not given art but whom i would have loved to see more of ( mad scientist and brute warrior sounds very fun) and i see someone read HP Lovecraft the abyss seems interesting so lots to see lots to do
now lewds i feel like they could be improved, the best ones i have seen so far were the ones in the beginning with one of the two succubus' (by the way was the promise of a threesome with those two just words?) or one of the after ones tho even those seemed to suffer from lack of art. I feel the more recent ones at camp are not very descriptive and having absolutely no art or animations depicting anything is disappointing for improvement i recommend improvement of your description of the acts and some art and/or animation (by the way i think the best in terms of description has to be taking Sarah's path after getting home)
also by the way why does Sarah's outfit only change when we go with her i don't see why the hero's mother would not give her a change of clothes at one point
sex battles, interesting the demi-humans here are a colorful bunch regardless i know you said you will add magic but once again i feel that you need to be more descriptive (apologies for being vague about the writing and description of the lewds generally I'm specific about the problem but if you want i can try to give some examples) and once again art and/or animations would be lovely and also i think if your doing one in camp or somewhere i think there should something for whether you win or lose whether unique rewards,dialogue,XP or scenes is upto you
this might be me but i treat the sex fights as just another fight tho could just be me but may i request a QoL change to the sex battle UI in the personality tab you could place whether being gentle or rough is more effective and what position are they weak in, this would be unlocked as you fight them and learn what their weaknesses are.
aside from that story seems to be great just lewds to be worked on (ironically)
i wish you the best of luck upon your future endeavors and your lord of mysteries but with a harem and in a fantasy world
-Infinite
I don't know how Corruption works, anyway to decrease cause to horny. Is it possible in the future dev'll add more photo in the scene? And pls add map or anything to show where we are. all you can add it in 1st Palace scene with Ino.
Don't worry about corruption for now, before you do anything irreversible you'll be warned ingame.
I am slowly adding more CGs to scenes as we go, can't promise every scene will have one.
I'm not sure what you mean in the last line, sorry.
I'm not sure what you mean in the last line, sorry.
sry for my broken english, i mean Show map. Map of your world setting.
I just play to Deepwood act. Your story's insane! Portal scene with impressionism art is fcking fantastic. ABSOLUTE CINEMA!!
I don't have a world map, just a rough mental image of where things are. It is something I want to do at some point!
Yeeee I'm very proud of the deepwoods stuff, I think it's the best part of the game, with choices that matter and a strong introduction to the spiritual dangers your parents warned you about. It's finally the aventure the main character wanted!
I love when you break the 4th wall for decision up next. It like you pat my shoulder, said "hey bro... chill"
Where the story end for update? I not have anything to do after Siofra join.
another issue bro. Download from steam or itch, is it deference patch? I buy from itch already.
ps. keep going dev
I try to make important choices obvious so no one gets caught off guard!
Siofra joining is around the end of current content. If you're on the paid version there's another update of camp content, next update (next few weeks, hopefully) will have more story scenes.
If you already bought from itch, you will keep getting updates as I release them unless Itch bans me! And thank you for the kind words, I will keep going.
You MUST see! The very first headpat challenge, sponsored by Maya, on who can give her the best headpats! Will favorite Metatron win, or will a challenger take top honors??
Anyway hoping things are well with you, and that you are still plugging away on Divine Dawn (and thanks to your "try this!!", working on From the Sin!) Are you getting a ton of "newest version here" and "sexy photo" posts that are spam like a few other devs I'm following are having to deal with, or are they leaving you alone?
One thing I am curious on, when succubus MILF shows up, will Ashley and Sarah bond with her or will they view her as a rival? They seem OK with everyone for the most part but ya never know...
Shit, I am late on this, sorry!
I am still plugging away, despite Itch's recent spasms with adult games lol. Been a stressful week, not that the recent Steam crackdown helped either. Puritans always have to ruin everything.
Succumom is too nice to have rivals (except maybe Rosalyn, lmao) and I am actually really excited to see how she and the existing succs get along. It might be a little awkward at first, but they're all very old succubi, so it's basically the same thing, right?
No worries, I know the recent crackdown screwed so many people over, stupid overreach reaction...
You haven't been threatened on Patreon have you? Want to keep supporting ya but if itch is going to be the fun police might have to go elsewhere for updates and support!
Let's just say it was doubleplus ungood for my mental state for a day or two there lol.
Thankfully, I haven't gotten any personal threats from steam/patreon yet, so far they've mostly been targeting games with incest or nonconsensual themes. I HOPE things will work out on Itch as well, supposedly they're targeting similar things, but right now I and almost everyone else are just waiting for itch to re-list our games.
They do claim that they won't completely remove a game unless it breaks rules so you should still be able to download, and if that stays true I'll keep updating it here for previous purchasers. May or may not be able to make new sales, we'll see.
Your Game is Amazing. If could take over the Earth Those types of People would have there own island to form there own and leave the rest of us the hell alone..
Appreciate it, and yeah.... would be nice if they could leave the rest of us alone.
i like the game, great combat, great characters, good fitting music, good story. thank you for making such a good game
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you had fun!
Made an account just for this, but are Gaea and all the others based off fucking Primordials from Exalted? God damn am I happy to get the reference if so. (Based off of, nothing here officer!)
The Third Circle, Second Circle, First Circle and tiers matching up is what made me catch it, im still glad to see the ideas and such out in the wild.
Oh, and the basic elements remind me of fate, or rather the stuff that fate magecraft elements were based off of and stuff. Same with Gaea.
Cool that the kabballah references are somewhat correct given my own understanding on that topic too - fun fact, Kether is 'visible god' to Ayin 'Invisible God', and Ayin would metaphorically be a few steps above. As far as it was explained to me.
Sorry for gushing about the world building but its just cool to see someone use ideas and knowledge from franchises I recognize. Especially since several times when worldbuilding myself and making a fantasy setting I shameless stole those same ideas. just because they are so cool.
That is to say, thank you for cooking.
There are definitely some Exalted references! The circles of souls are the big one, though there's a mention of warstriders as well. I tried not to obviously base each goddess on anything, they're more-or-less unique to the setting, or at least I hope so.
There's some Fate blood here as well, and a lot of inspiration from IRL alchemical concepts.
I spent a lot of time researching the kabbalah, and it's generally pretty accurate, with some tweaks to fit the setting. Ayin is related to Ein Soph Aur, which is namedropped ingame. There will be more of the tree of death later.
I joke sometimes that this whole project was just an excuse to worldbuild, so it's always cool to see people enjoy it!
This has been a test of the emergency headpat system. If this had been an actual emergency, Metatron would have been patting Maya's head already and Ashley would demand equal time, or something.
Anyway, hoping things are well. In going through Ashley's "date" with the MC (when she gets a new outfit) I can't help thinking "Ashley + Sam = chaos" given they seem to do a pretty good job on their own and when you pair them together...
Going through the "report to Selendis" again, kind of feels like Ina fled because she wanted to learn more and not coast, and maybe not be "oh you are X's daughter" but her own person. Although she may have burned a bridge by fleeing the way she did... "Hi Mom, I fled from responsibility and found a friend/beau, aren't things great?!"
LMAO. Headpats are blessed.
Things are improving on my end, got a Metatron scene done that I really liked. I really want to do a Sarah date, but idk if I want to write 3 h scenes in one event, lmao, she would be a dangerous girlfriend. Sam and Ashley is an interesting pair, not sure how they would interact but there's one way to find out!
That was the general vibe I was going for with Ina, wanting to move out of her mother's shadow and learn more to actually be ready for when she becomes queen. She, Asta, and the upcoming Alicia all have a similar issue - growing up in the shadow of someone that seems unassailably perfect to them. Ina's mom is... definitely not going to be happy, but as long as Ina doesn't die in the process she'll get over it, lmao.
Sorry for the delayed response!
Just assumed you were busy writing and making sure things made sense. Still, wanted to check in, and figured "headpat emergency" would work! Regarding some of the lesser characters (Charles from the Banon Church, and the shopkeeper Olivia) are you going to get art for them eventually? I'm fully aware "minor character picture" is down the list for things to do/get art for, but I do like the pictures instead of text.
Do wonder, since both Selendis and Ina are really impressed with Astaroth, if they both are gonna knight him, or if one knights him the other can't, or there's going to be a playful rivalry between them because of Astaroth... eh, what's a few more awkward situations for him?
Hey there! Yes, I hope to get art of them eventually. I have a few sketches, especially for Olivia, but no final art. It will happen eventually(tm). Probably when Olivia gets more content, lol.
He can be knighted by both! (and a husband to both). Alicia and Ina will definitely have some rivalries though, and perhaps competition...
on demo, if enemy and allies both have "riposte" effect like the water magic mirror skill, any attack will cause infinite recursion (and thus have renpy throw error screen)
Hi, just got back to the game but am now playing from mobile (used to play on PC). Is there a control to hide the text box so that I can appreciate *those* scenes to the fullest? Cheers mate!
That's a good question. I added an experimental text hider to Sarah's missionary CG, but not other scenes. I know on desktop, the H key hides all UI/dialog. I will look into it and see if I can find a universal solution for android.
Thanks for answering, glad to see mobile compatability being appreciated and developed. Cheers and goodluck on that!
I googled it and it didnt seem too hard to add, so I'm gonna try to make it so swiping down hides UI and swiping up returns it
no promises on everything working yet lmao
So have you written "Kuril kisses MC on the lips" and MC wondering what a human-shark hybrid will be like because he loves Ina so much yet? :P
Seriously, hoping things are well with ya and unless something changes (I doubt it but with my luck...) I should be able to slide some money to ya next month, but unsure how Itch handles giving a dev money. Do I need to do anything specific, or is it pretty straightforward? Also, do I need to bow to Demon Queen Ashley, give Maya 500 headpats, or let Sarah know she is a truly important part of the team? (Doing the last one anyway, but still...)
78,000 word erotic fanfiction of Asta and Kuril my beloved
I'm doing okay, going into this week I'm cautiously optimistic that things will go well! At least I have a lot of ideas for scenes I want to do. I hope you're doing well too!
Appreciate the sentiment, but as always take care of yourself first. On Itch... I think it's just rebuying the game with whatever cost you want? I'm honestly not sure, I don't use itch much these days since I commission stuff offsite instead of using premade assets.
All three of those last things are a good start though! I'm sure Sarah would appreciate it in particular, poor thing.
Sarah and Maya convinced me that it would be a good idea to purchase it instead of just talking about it. Maya said something about "all the headpats" and Sarah just looked so adorable I couldn't resist! Since it's through itch, does that mean every time there's an update I'll need to give you money again, or was it a once-off and I just need to make sure Maya has access to all the headpats? (No worries on making sure t's not an issue, I checked that before giving you money)
Dammit, I fell asleep and lost my original post lmao. So this one will be a little shorter, lol
Maya is very cute and deserves headpats, but Sarah is also very cute and pattable, which is very important
You only need to buy once to get updates forever, I know some games do the other way but it doesn't feel right to me. I appreciate the support though, and hopefully the new updates will be worth it! The last one was pretty massive at the very least~
