Alright, so I couldn't do any work during the weekend, which meant this got delayed. I should also mention both companion don't have any skills, and the new enemy is using a placeholder vine because I didn't have enough time to bug test any of that, and those are the things that reaaally need that. So expect those things to come on later down the line.

Changelog:

Content

  • Added Allurgard's last two companions. The gnoll hunter mercenary, Shadira, and Lijo, the shady elf. Lijo is the statue in that alcove right where you start Allurgard. While Shadira is in that Crevasse in front of the Orc Tribe. (Neither has any skills yet, didn't have time to add them. Also, the fight with Shadira has a placeholder Vine in their place.)
  • Added seven new events. Technically more, but counting the NPC and Companion things as events feels misleading, even though in the code it's the same thing. (Btw, did I mention we reached 100 events in the game in the last build?)
  • Added two new equipments relating to Bersa's quest, atop the four new equipments of the new companions.
  • Added two new events for Bersa. The first starts out her side quest, and the second is the silly little first step of it.
  • Added a new enemy event in the Beach area: the Mermaid. She comes with a sex scene and you will cum too... or something, god I hate myself for actually writing that. The mermaid as a combat enemy stills needs to be implemented, so for now she's using a placeholder vine.

Fixes

  • Revised "Daisy's first visit to Whitewood Village", "BersaII" event.
  • Minor changes and adjustments to Bersa events. Mostly changed wording choices and added tooltips for the concepts of Celtica and Odin.
  • Fixed Lyssa appearance possibly displaying Bersa's appearance at times.

Updates Since Last Public Build (3.62a):

3.65 - Eldritch Revamp and Fixes:

Content

  • Revised the: Eldritch Visions, Eldritch Call, Eldritch Confrontation, the Eldritch Cave area, the Deep One Encounter, the Eldritch Tentacle encounter, the treasure events in the eldritch cave area, the Pit Challenge, the Plant Challenge.
  • Added a side image for the Eldritch Cave.

Fixes

  • Fixed the entire text in Lyssa's First event being in italic due to the angel's voice line not having a closing tag.
  • Fixed combat layout, appearing fucked up if the player is the first to move.
  • Also arranged so that the combat layout consistently appears as intended whenever combat begins, regardless of the situation.
  • Fixed typos and concordance mistakes in combat and items and other places.
  • Fixed and added some minor contextual text during the Eldritch god combat.
  • Fixed the loot events to not show 0 gold amount when none is received, and properly made them display commas when listing items.
  • Fixed the Choose Class event giving you the wrong weapons. The ids were switched around here, so if you had any of the starting used weapons in hand, they have changed for the correct ones.
  • Fixed the combat log in the combat screen, slowly increasing in size until it threw the options off-screen.
  • Changed the combat options to be fixed, so the layout doesn't keep changing up and down like before. Also, they are limited in height now, so the screen should scale better.

The angel has a lot of pronouns errors (keeps using female pronouns despite being male pronouns in my game)


ok theres i bug where i cant level up beucuse i cant select a skil but i cant select a skill beucuse i dont have the status required and i cant get the status required beucuse i cant level up. i playing a mage

(1 edit)

Man, i love this game, it's exactly what i was ages looking for, but still in a very early stage. If u're willing to make this a long term project, and is interested in any kind of help, please let me know, i cant support with money but i can help in other ways, just let me know.

Let me list some ideas and improvements i think would be good to your game:

-It may be kind of obvious, but people love vídeos, images, scenes... despite the captivating story, adding some images and scenes would be a nice improvement.

-Grinding. Not everyone likes it by itself, but grind doesn't need to be heavy, nor monotonous, or a softlocker (It can be also naughty, wich is pretty captivating). Grinding can be pretty fun, and If the player truly hates It, he may be able to overcome issues with raw skill.

-Beyond, archangel, gods. It would be very fun to be able to create alliances, rivalry, and even love relationship with other deitys. Not all deitys want to evolve more and more, so some would be open to trade power, creations, build mindsets, planets (from upper gods), fun or anything that can be sold. Also, having an army of lesser angels, slaves, a harem, or whatever, could be very interesting.

-Demons. Okay, this may have an impact on the story itself, so thats just something to think about. Demons are known by many myths for being an evil Race that seeks the most deep and degenerate human feelings, so it correlates to the evil aspect, but evil gods are still gods, and still have their angels and archangels. The Eldritch (for what ive seen of the story) are corrupted beings that tried to free themselves of First's aspect. What if the evil aspect gets strong enough to surpass First's aspect? It could make the multiverse into a literal hell, but of course it wouldnt want to stop there, as there's always room for more, so what if First's multiverse is not the only multiverse, and there is a multiverse where evil is stronger than reality itself? And that evil First (or whatever is the stronger being) send his demons through the multiverses? What if there is a Good aspect thats stronger than reality itself? What if that good First is able to create multiverses with other Firsts... Anyways, lots of ideas for the story, even If u dont like it, It may cause some ideas to pop in :)

-Soundtrack. Thats something of extreme importance in the game. Nice musics can captivate a Lot of players, they can inspire in action moments, make u calm while ure resting with ur archangel, or whatever.

Well, i know these are really hard features to add, but im willing to help If u want, im sure this game has a Lot of potential, i Hope It turns into an even more amazing and complete game.

Hey, sorry that it took so long to respond, but this has been a hectic month for me!

First off, I'm very happy to see the enthusiasm! It's truly greatly appreciated.

If you can support the game monetarily, I do have a patreon. The only reason I can keep devoting any time to this project is because of it. Otherwise, I'd probably would have been forced to abandon it some time ago. So you can check that out, if it's in your capacity. Aside from monetary help, bug reports are always welcome. Other suggestions about the content in the game is always appreciated too.

I actually do plan on including original art in the game, but other things are taking precedence. I also do want the player to interact with other gods, but it will be something added as we go along. Your ideas about the mechanics among the gods are cool, but since I'm a one person team, I have to be cognizant of feature creep in the project, and Allurgard itself already took years to slowly chip at.

For now, the balance between grinding and not is a bit outta whack, because I'm waiting to get everything in Allurgard before I go about balancing stuff.

Your ideas about the demons and other things are pretty cool. I do have more or less a theme I'm aiming for with the story, so I don't know if some concepts will fit, but who knows?

Currently, the game uses no royalty free songs, would love to get some original tracks, but that's waay outta my scope or capabilities. Still, I'm open to suggestions on free songs and where they might go best, since my limited time doesn't let me prioritize that kinda stuff.

Again, thanks so much for the comment! It's really makes my day seeing someone so enthused about it!

(4 edits)

I almost thought you wouldn't reply xD

I can totally make some deep search for bugs. Im studying programming so i may even learn something from it. Is there any way i can contact you more easily, so i can send you a detailed bug report?

Also, i made a fanart for my goddess, tell me if you wanna see it. (Ps.: she is nude, its NSFW. I dont think thats a problem though)

Edit: I just made a wiki on fandom (only the structure right now). Im gonna use it to organise myself on bug hunting. The only problem is I can't write NSFW content like some sexual actions so I requested a wiki in Miraheze and I will relocate it as soon as I'm done with the whole structure of the wiki.

Edit: Miraheze wiki is online (still only the structure at the time i posted this comment. Well, it's just a community page, but if you don't like it, i can always shut it off, as the game is yours.

Best way to get in contact with me on the regular is through Patreon. Just DM me there, and we're golden. Also, fuck yes I want to see your fanart! You can send it to me over there if you don't want to post it here.

I see no problem with the wikis at all, don't worry about it! There was actually someone asking for a walkthrough too, and I hadn't really had the time to set it up as of yet, so maybe I could send this their way when it gets going.

(3 edits)

I cant dm you on patreon because im broke af and i cant sign your membership unfortunately. I would if i could though.

Okay, ill keep working on the wikis and searching for bugs and organising them. 

Edit: Started to list the bugs one by one, I will list them on a google document.

About the fanart, here it is:

Oh, my mistake, I thought anyone could DM anyone over there, haha. I suppose I could make a twitter or discord or something for ease of communication.

Thanks for the thorough help bug hunting, it's really appreciated! I'll keep an eye on the document.

Your art looks great! I absolutely love it and definitely want to see more of it if you make it.

if you don't have a skill you can choose, the game basically locked you from leveling up.

i don't know if this is intentional, but if it does, it's just a weird design.

It's because not all skills are implemented yet.

(1 edit)

Clicking confirm after choosing my alias does nothing, and clicking true name does nothing too

Someone else reported this before, but I still can't replicate this bug. Would you mind telling me the name you used and walking me through what you did up to that point? Like, did you save and load at any point? Did you talk to Angel? Did you use the debug menu, etc?

(1 edit)

I loaded my save from before the update so that I wouldn't have to remake my character.  The true name is Dahlia, and any alias I put didn't work. I talked to angel before I loaded my save in the new update. I didn't use debug. I loaded my save, went through the portal, chose my class (I tried it with all classes, still didn't work), and then chose to make an alias. I then tried to use my true name.


I then tried it again, making a new save, and it worked

Thank you for getting back to me! So if I understood, you loaded an old save from a previous version of the game? Do you remember which version of the game that save is from? Depending on that, it just might not be compatible anymore with new versions, since some updates changed how saves work.

It was the version right before the most recent one, 3.3

There wasn't any intentional save incompatibility between those versions, so this might have been due to a bug that was going around the old versions that might have bungled your save. Shouldn't happen anymore, but if it does, please do reach out again!

Loading into saves cause the skill tree to reset, leaving you only with the initial class skill.

(1 edit)

Daisy fainted and resting at the inn didn't heal her; I took her back to the grove and dismissed her, then tried to recruit her again, and it didn't appear to work. The second time I clicked the button I got an error saying you can't have the same character in your party twice, and she does not appear in the party menu.

The three adventurers are also bugged; I decided on mage and took her stuff, then didn't unequip the sword (but did unequip the robe) before freeing them, telling them I had divine favor, admitting that I swiped the gear and returning it, and now when I click on either answer as to why I saved them nothing happens. They're also in the appearance tab twice each. Using the debug menu to restart the encounter, changing to say I'm a wizard doesn't help.

Edit: This is on 3.6.1.

(1 edit) (+1)

There was a bug with the Unconscious status that will be fixed in the next version. Its the reason behind the weirdness with Daisy there.

I couldn't really replicate the answers being stuck on the trio event, but I did fix other things in that event, that maybe were related? I am going through a bunch of bug reports right now, so maybe I will find out what happened there later.

Thanks for the report, btw!

good night people, when I start the game here on itch.io it doesn't start me, why is it?

Are you trying to launch it via the app? If so, either just download the game or use the browser, as I recall people were having trouble getting the app to work.

In Android?

I want to play it on an android tablet and it lets me but then it crashes

There is no mobile version, that's why. It's probably trying to run the browser versions, but the android version of the browser probably doesn't work with it. Sorry.


Allugard

Text error

(I forget):Talk-past: “anoying” > annoying

Daisy talking as if her sisters are still petrified after unpetrifying them.

 

Sister reunion: Awaken my sisters!: tag (if:daisyJoined=1) not found [appears twice]

Meet thorson: Time to go: tag(youngpc) not found

Area: Eldritch Cave: <font=”eldritchSpeech”> In text in any place when eldritch speaks. 

When recruiting jonathan the option is just like daisies.

Rutting faun encounter: Mad horny: [b]them[/b] in text

Living vine encounter: Sex-foreplay: “Hitting your boobs in its climb” when chest is flat. 

Meet the trio: Triforce: cecil was naked despite not taking her clothes. Did someone else take them or was it a writers error. 

Meet the trio: Curse 101: Tag (pcWearingArmor) not found. 

“I kind of want to ask why only one of us is naked” Doesnt take into account of not taking the armor. 

You learn that the mage is called chris without any way of knowing that. 

Meet the trio: Morals: tag (pcnormal) not found

She says threesome but with three girls that would be a foursome when it includes you. 

Meet the trio: Done here: the elfs name by logic is mentioned as callyanna with no way of knowing how it was learned. 

Lyssa relationship IV: Eternal companionship: tag (currentAspectName) not found

Area: Swamp entrance: Pond: word overlap at end of text. 

Beast of import: How do you know grimwood: tag (angelTS?) not found

(i forget): What is love?: text repeat. Im guessing it was accidentally copy/pasted twice into the scene. 

Minion camp layabouts: Path to grimwood: typo”seem” to seen

Holidays: Firstmas: The 50 power gain from firstmas didn't work. 

Purgatory

First travel to purgatory(debriefing): tag(angelName) not found

Gameplay

After playing the first page of the tutorial then going to menu then playing again about 2 times it froze. Unable to reproduce.

Ability to compare items would be nice.  

Overwriting current save would make things slightly faster. 

Negative effects don't go away like insanity. Unless that's actually permanent?   

Level up skill not gained. 

Scroll does not fully scroll with mouse wheel when not enough text to make the scroll bar big enough.

Scene titles overlap. Like “Awaken my sisters!” overlapping “sister reunion”

Waterlogged chest: can be farmed because the option doesn't go away. I could use a macro and gain thousands without even trying after a few minutes. 

Sometimes the fight scene has buttons on the bottom with “button” as the text on them that probably do nothing.

button “yes, i do.” does nothing when dismissing party members except when fighting they are gone. And cant re-recruit them. Reloading made them disappear and still cant find daisy and lyssa. Jonathan is good tho. Not sure about others. 

Beach: Recent shipwreck: Rummage option does nothing. 

Way to twist: interact button does nothing. Guessing you just get around to these yet. 

Beach: Pier: boat option just plain breaks the game because your brought outside the map with nowhere to go. 

The hand that can appears on the side is a bit weird considering the main menu arrow overlaps it and the hand appears in two different places dependent on how you move your mouse. 

In windows 10 v3.5 Resolution 1920x1080 if that helps.

Oh, wow! Thanks so much for this! This kind of feedback has been far and few between, but it's sorely needed. I'm going to be going through this list for the next update.
Just to make sure, all of this was done on version 3.5, right? Some problems you listed I thought I had already fixed, so I'm asking to make sure.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, just saw that you did post the version there at the end. Thx, I am already going through the list.

Most of this was fixed on the latest version, btw. Forgot to post this here.

I went through the yellow portal, and clicking on any of the class options doesn't work

Will be fixed this coming update, thanks!

I hope you actually get the bug reports I've been submitting. I've got a couple, mostly around the latter half of Allurgard.

(1 edit)

Well, I have not, but your comment has brought to light the fact that the bug report system is not working, apparently. God, just thinking about all the bug reports lost makes me queasy. So sorry, friend.

If you remember anything about the bugs, do say, but if not, it's okay, I am going to be dedicating the next few months to bug hunting exclusively, so I am sure to come across them anyways.

Edit: Yep, just checked, and turns out the third-party tools the Bug Report feature used are no longer supported. Gosh, I wished they had sent an email or something! Sadly, now bug reports are just going to have to be made online, there's no other easier way.

(+1)

I remember like, two. (Anyone else reading, spoilers for Allurgard.) The first is that when you rest in a tavern to restore HP and go back out, it sets your HP to the same as before you rested- like, on the transition between town and the crossroads or forest. I think it also affects the orc lodge in the plains. The other is that Grimwood's den, the map is busted- the deepest area only has an exit further in rather than the way you came, and I believe it ignored my choice of genitals in the Grimwood sex scene. Oh, and Daisy didn't have anything to say when fighting Whitewood, and the boss battles both there and in the swamp were instead living vines, though maybe that's a placeholder rather than a bug? I think I remember something about leveling up not working right too but I couldn't tell you any details.

The last few things are placeholder things and things that haven't been added, but the rest I have fixed for this next update! Thanks a bunch for the report!

Are you still releasing updates on itch or only on Patreon now?

(1 edit)

Public versions will keep going, but I have been working on implementing the first version of the endings of Allurgard, so that's taking quite a while. The patreon releases right now are serving as an unfinished preview of things. But I want the next public version to be a working version of it all. Might still be a couple months away, though.

Sorry for the delayed answer as well. This month has been a whirlwind for me. Thanks for the interest, though!

All good. Thanks for the reply!

(1 edit)

Haven't been on in a few days but now it won't even load. It gets to the screen where you can press start, load, options, quit, and in the bottom right corner, there is a bar that says now loading, and I can't press any buttons.

Now, this bug is actually one on me hahha. This bug is only in the web version of the last update though, so you can try the other versions. I would hotfix it, but the next update is due in a week already.

Hello, the game seems nice, but I don't know how to create the first room in my domain, I try clicking inside the square in the map or outside of it but it didn't seem to work. Any advice?

Click on view map, first. Then you should see the options to create the rooms.

Alguien sabe si habrá versión para Android? O al menos para jugarlo en el navegador?

There is a browser version, yes. No plans for an android one, though.

(1 edit)

I have never been able to go into any of the dimensions because it always says an error has occurred and doesn't let me click on any of the buttons. The farthest I have been able to get was the part where you can ask the angel stuff. I was going through everything and right when I got the part asking about combat the error occurred. It might be a problem on my end though. Either way, the game has been great so far.

Could you give me some more details? Are you playing on what system, this error comes in what way?

I am playing on ChromeBook and I have been able to get farther at times but the error always occurs and say an error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser Javascript console for more info.  The error was: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded. And it always is this: when i press ok it goes away and i have to reload the page.

(1 edit)

Sorry. I think it is a problem on your end. Considering that I cannot replicate this issue, nor have received any other bug reports of the same kind.

got it. i will try to fix whatever it is on my end

Hi, could you tell how you installed the game? I installed the game, but the keyboard and mouse of my Chromebook don't work inside the game.

I might just be an idiot, but how do you get past the snowstorm on the mountain?

You need to up your agility, or buy the mountain gear from the shopkeeper back at the village.

Ok, gotcha. Thank you very much.

(1 edit)

Hey there is a bug problem if if it's because (I dont use a pc I use my android phone btw) sometimes I get kicked out of game whenever i get to intro of game also when I do get to entro it never allows me to open keyboard to type the name of character could u plz fix that and maybe make it more android compatable?

There are no plans to support mobile for now, I'm sorry, but that would overload my already full to-do list for the game. If android support ever comes, it will be after the game is done.

(+1)

Ok no prob its a shame but I can wait keep up the goos work shark

I experience (a bug?) where when overwriting a save It would instead delete it, and all of my progress was lost. Also during that time some other buttons weren't working either.

It happened after resting in the Inn if the context helps.

I will take a look at it, thanks! Tell me, did you have any companions or equipment(aside from the initial ones) with you when that happened?

The witch from the mountain had just recently joined my party.

Yes, this bug has been fixed as of recently. There was a problem with how the equipment of companions was being stored which caused saves to abort before being completed, which when overwriting would cause the deletion of a save without the replacement.

How does one get Daisy to be ready to leave? Both her sisters are awake and I've tried every dialog option with them I'm pretty sure.

Go to Whitewood Village, as per her suggestion. When there, you should get an event in the main street that implies at the end that she should be ready.

There is an unfortunate lack of bottoming options for male PCs. I mean, there are placeholders, which is reassuring, but it's still kinda hard to enjoy the game when you can't "entertain" the way you want to. Is there a possibility for community submissions? I can't support this game monetarily by any meaningful measure with my budget already being super tight, but I've wrote for other games as a hobbiest.

(+1)

Yeah, I have kind of realized that a while ago. I will be going to make the rounds at some point to add anal options to most sex scenes to correct that.

I would like to allow for community content later down the line after everything is in place better. Right now, I think giving support to that would complicate things a bit. Mostly due to the fact certain parts of the game are in flux still, like how to reference variables in the text and such. After I feel like there's a solid foundation that won't be changing, I will consider the possibility better.

Thanks for showing the interest, though!

It stopped starting from the itch.io app.

I came here to post the same, figured I'd just reply to this- just updated to 1.1, niether it nor the 0.9 version would launch for me via itch.

I am unsure of what might be causing this, as both the in browser and downloaded version of the games work.

It might be a hassle, but I would advise on not using the app for this game. Or at least using it to download the executables rather than to play the browser version.

found a game breaking bug. i went into the save room and i was unable to exit back to the portal room, or any other room i built that was adjacent. saving, reloading, and quitting to main menu and reloading from there didn't help.

(1 edit)

There's some more info on how to connect rooms in the game, which might've been a bit hard to understand before. Also, there have been some fixes to the base code, so if this was indeed a bug, it was probably fixed in this new version.
