Preview based on what I could gather from the ci-en page using goolag translate.

An upcoming (hopefully) RPGMaker game about a (meaty) heroine who travels to the depths of a non-linear dungeon in search of her lost memories.
Game will supposedly feature character creation and a "negotiation" system which includes seduction, persuasion and robbery (I think).
Aside from basic stats ups on level up you'll also be able to level up your negotiation skills and it seems like the devs are trying to make skills matter, for example higher strength is required to wear heavy armour.
It seems like the devs want to implement a variety of viable approaches to the game, from basic unga bunga to more diplomatic approach and of course whoring.
As always, more info on the dev's ci-en.

Well colour me invested, this sounds almost too good to be true and the art (and character design) looks gorgeous. Looking forward to the first demo and hoping this gets translated so I can enjoy it properly someday.

I just thought it was wild that the dev posted this about paid plans :

Spoiler

So he's going to suspend paid plans because he doesn't intend to make money off of Ci-en and wants to just use it for information purposes. Actually crazy. Who on earth doesn't milk their audience for every last penny nowadays? This guy apparently.

Yeah that's something that'd make patreon devs heads explode. Though in the process I think the devs removed some pics from ci-en, I swear earlier one of them showed the heroine getting goblin'd.

Still see it in their profile for me.

 

[BigJohnny]

Oh yeah, you're right, I was browsing through the pics in updates but not in the profile.

Thought the game is dead but no, couple of new updates dropped. Nothing spicy t share, just informing that the game will be out in 2025.
Btw, we're close to 2050 than to 1990.

The change is actually to 'undecided', so it could be anything at this point.

It's not taking a break or anything, just that given the open world nature of the game dev is still undecided on how close to completion the current state of the game is right now.

Not sure if this is necroing but the dev has been resuming with monthly updates on Ci-En.

February discusses erotic status, parameters, and the heroine's private needs. In addition to HP, MP, and lust, she will have a sanity meter that will affect her performance when dungeon exploring as well as interreacting with people. Potions are a limited supply when bringing into dungeons so food is a secondary source of recovery and stats but you have stomach capacity for how much you can eat. Slimes and parasite can affect stomach capacity. Potions and other liquids factor into a bladder gauge, the maiden may soil herself if she doesn't find a toilet in time. Slimes can also get into your intestines and you made need to excrete them either in secret or out in the open.

March's update was on the battle/combat system when dungeon exploring. Things like traps, defeat events, companions, etc.

April is about abnormal status ailments during combat and outside of combat. Might be some inspirations from the more darker dungeon exploring mediums like Goblin Slayer, Dungeon Meshi, etc.
Bleeding is dot that can heal over time, poison requires items to cure, petrification and consequences of not healing it in time. Intoxication and other lustful states are also available. Being coated in slime will damage your clothes and armor and causes erotic harassment but also makes you nearly immune to fire based damage. Fear is a status ailment you can suffer during combat and can yield similar penalties to depletion of your sanity meter; the maiden may even soil herself in fear if her private needs are high enough.

I think that's more to detach himself from any expectations or obligations towards supporters.
Paid plan sounds like easy money, but you still have to provide monthly status updates to justify your income.

I don't know about the dev's workstyle, but I personally would be the type of work persona that would find this documentation a boring chore and would prefer to just spend the time developing the game instead.
I guess it also kinda matters whether you're into this line of work because you have a vision for what would make a great project or you're just viewing it as pure business and need a project you can monetize.

No worries, the only time people get irritated by necroing is when it's pointless necroing.

Giving info (like you did) is a perfectly acceptable reason to necro a thread

Knight looks like a mix of Guts and Goblin Slayer.
