I'm both surprised and happy that my art is getting complemented. I've been working with new equipment and my new display tablet has a smaller resolution than my old tablet so getting better lines is hard.

Just another 2 days to get through before the steam release, been doing small fixes, there was a bug with loading that's also in damsel quest 3 where if you try to load an empty file it crashes, unless there was a previous save loaded correctly in which case it loads that.

also various spelling mistakes fixed. I laid the groundwork for a possible extra scenario but i currently don't know what to do with it

the game's been released on steam, and the itch.io version has been updated to include the extra scenario

Bought a copy, and felt the need to point out that it's technically possible to get yourself stuck in an unwinnable position in the last scenario, that parodies a Legend of Zelda segment. If someone runs around testings bombs and arrows on everything and then runs out of money, you could actually get stuck behind bomb or arrow progression walls, because there is no way to earn more money, and no way to backtrack to other areas where you could. Didn't happen to me, but I was curious if there was some way to "pay" the shopkeeper for them if you ran out of money, so after doing everything there, but before leaving, I used up all my arrows and bombs (interestingly enough you can "use" them from the item menu, which makes one disappear like a consumable item, but does absolutely nothing) bought more from him and then used them up until I had only 30 gold left and no more. Obviously nothing happened, but this meant it was a way to get stuck if you too frivolous with them and were only keeping one save file, so I felt I should point it out.

I have a couple questions beyond this comment, the first of which is: Is there any sort of gallery, or should I just hold saves at key points? My second question is how many endings are there? I have one, the good ending for the adult version, and I assume that there is a good and bad ending for both the adult and lewd versions, but I wanted to check and see if there was a "neutral" ending, because the only way I can think to test that is to add one new loss at a time until I find a neutral ending or pass the threshold for the bad ending. Much easier to just ask. My third question is about the impossible to reach sign on the wall of the casino maze. I would appreciate either a hint at how to actually get to it or confirmation that it tells you off for cheating or breaking the game, because of the way the door switches work. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't reach it, I really wanted to know what it said. My final question is how many "achievements" are there. I found 2:
The "Secret Passage" achievement for winning at the secret slot machine, and the "Where's the Fun in That" achievement for beating the game with no losses, mostly because I was curious if there was a special ending.
and was wondering if there were any others that I should be hunting for.

I greatly enjoyed the game, found it very amusing, and I suspect it will be even funnier when I play through in the lewd but not adult mode. I'm looking forward to it.

the endings are the same in both versions, except for the heart censors, and it is just good and bad, though theres a bonus (non cg) scene in the bad ending if you spoke to the thugs at the start of the game.

You're not wrong about the shopkeeper, it would be possible to run out of both money and bombs/arrows but since you dont need that many to win, i considered it self inflicted.
theres no scene for paying him with your body but i could always add it to the adult version.

there's no gallery, i thought the game was short enough that it wasnt necessary.
you cant get to the plaque in the casino, its there as a tease, one of my testers spent ages checking there wasnt a hidden path to it.
there are... 15 achievements. most of them are silly, calling out silly behaviour but some of them are only mentioned in the steam version. like the good and bad ending ones. You shouldve gotten more than two if you played the steam version though.

You can actually die in the game but you have to find a special way to make it happen.

Thanks for noticing you can use the bombs from the menu, that needs fixing

Thanks for the confirmation that there are only two endings, and that the plaque was there as a tease. It seemed likely, but I'm the kind of person who needs to find out things like that, and would have tested for hours without an answer.

I agree that getting stuck running out of money and arrows in entirely self inflicted, I still had tons left when I did it deliberately to see if there was a pay with body scene. I just wanted to point it out in case you were feeling charitable, or meant for there to be a way to make money.

The game is short enough to have no gallery, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't one simply for my own convenience.

For the achievements I wasn't playing the game on steam, I bought it through itch.io, so the only achievements I noticed were ones where there was an in game notification about you receiving that achievement. There are probably more that I "earned" but would only causes a steam popup not an in game notice, so I'm not sure how many I actually would have received.

I did not in fact find a way to die, and did a fairly thorough check of a lot of things while playing, so I'm not sure how one would actually go about it.

Also for the bombs and arrows being used from the menu, I figured it was a bug, but given the number you give us it's hardly game breaking, just mildly annoying if you notice.

The special way to die is in the hookshot and rock dungeon, that you get the bow in, the bow is also required for the special death.

and yeah... letting them use the bombs and stuff in the menu is not good, at least theyd have to deliberately overuse bombs and arrows to make the game unwinnable.

Art's definitley got a charm to it and your puzzles were refreshing for a RPG, I got the glasses bundle but was disappointed with certain lacking of H-scenes which you were aware of or seemed to tease. Orcs bathouse - nothing, Ninja area - 2 scenes. Casino - 2, Orc Area - 3, I was looking everywhere expecting casino and ninja to have another scene but alas nothing. Witch Lab -really enjoyed this but the purple dust Orc/ogre a scene doesnt occur but you've acknowledged that but couldnt think what to draw. Also felt misled and expected it to be longer when you said the demo was 25% of the game.
BUT - game mechanic were refreshing and fun, art getting better each time. Hope for another heroine troupe but with more corruption, group scenes and sexy busty gals.

i'm not ready for another rpg yet. but there is the dark side to this story for when I do: succubus cops fighting the bad demons that kidnap humans and shove em in fuck machines.

so buy it on steam, and install the free patch? it's a simple matter of getting the free patch from itch.io and unzipping the contents, putting the kt_file in the root folder with game .exe and moving the pictures into graphics/pictures


I have recorded a patch installation guide

also the games on sale for 30% off this week

It's a bit odd to me that kate's test sold better than marielle's mansion madness... is it just a difference in the amount of content?

i don't really like the story of kate's test all that much, i feel like i could've done a lot better.

thanks to steam, this game is just 20 sales away from 1000. pretty sure the only other games ive sold that much of are science girl and damsel quest 3.
...nope, science girl sold 822.

this really puts pressure on me to release something else on steam. but nothings really consistently drawn enough. and damsel quest 3 is kind of... i feel like its a bit badly designed in terms of narrative, and theres definitely some outliers for the art.
(and marielle is too short/not fleshed out enough)
