Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

yesterday i started work getting ready to implement the other two girls as party members since that was one of the requests i got currently can only fit 2 of them on the battle screen so i'll be increasing the game resolution to 960x720 at some point... gonna be a lot of new content if im extending the game, for starters i'll need all the battler images and various clothing for the other two party members, and some cg that includes them in the loss scenes that are already there... gives me a chance to bring back the orcs as a regular enemy in the inverse castle...

basically the expansion covers the post game, ren, emi, and the girl who took over your castle have to enter the dark version of the castle where demons have taken hold...which is why there's still monsters running amok...basically the task is to purify and bring harmony back to the castle.

if you want to help support this expansion you can do so by pledging to

You must be registered to see the links

or by buying the game on kimochi...people who buy the game will be getting the expansion for free, but once the expansion is done the price is going up to 10usd at least

dlsite will take a lot longer since i'll be wanting the entire thing done with before i update it...as their review process and slow replies bug the shit out of me

list of stuff to do before work on extra areas even starts
battler images for emi and current final boss girl including different equips like the ballgag and blindfold
dominatrix outfits for all of them (was a request)
cg to incorporate the girls into the current game over scenes minus the bosses (except the orcs cause theyre generic and i can reuse them as a regular enemy in the expansion)


DON'T FORGET...YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH TO GET THE GAME FOR PLEDGING 5USD

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

cant go over 640 x 480 in ace dammit... means im gonna have to downscale the art for in battles...the upside is i don't have to resize and recensor (for dlsite) every cg in the game...


im kinda looking forward to getting home from my partners in the new year...drawing here is a bit tough

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

Awesome to hear, looking forward to the expansion. If you need help with bug testing or ideas, ill be glad to help.

think i should reserve letting people see stuff like that for patrons...though ill probably show a few cg when i get round to it

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

thanks to the release of this game, and that of my previous games on kimochi in december i saw my best month of sales yet, and i've had a wonderful time spent with my friends this past week.

had a few hiccups, my laptop keyboard died but that should be up and running in the next few days (replacement ordered)...oh i still need to redownload the kimochi client though...

the prelim work on the expansion for this game is probably on hold until i finish the chibi hentai rpg i was commissioned to make, but if i get spare time or a zap of inspiration... either way, with the preliminary work being getting the extra party members working with the current enemy roster will take a while, it will be while until people see any of the next part of the story, unless i seperate the two parts of the game, which i wouldn't want to do... a big part of the new story is to be locating new areas within the current ones

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

- As a general rule, leashes, collars, blindfolds and bondage is always appreciated.

- A slave level focusing on stealth would be right up your alley. Ren and her party would be captured by slavers and after being used for a while would be separated and dumped in a cell. In order to rescue the other members of her party, Ren has to get her clothes and armor back from an armory. Any guards confronted would rip her (sexy slave) clothes off and the third or so confrontation would result in GOR. Kind of like the level of Princess escape with the soldiers immediately outside the castle. In any case, Slave Ren is a must.


- A demon worshipping cult of Futas. Game over from a regular member means being converted. Game over from the head priestess means being used in a ceremony summoning the demon. For other minor enemies you can have ghosts and goblins and etc.

-Doggystyle with animals. If that is not allowed in your part of the world, then make them robots animals, or something, which brings us too...

- Robots or scientists needing a participant for "data". Forced orgasms in a submissive position from a machine like the Dildo Traps in Lab Stay alive would be great. A science level in general would also be neat.

lol this would make a good game on its own now i think about it

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

Hah, maybe you can use it for Princess Ren return II, or for your other games, like that new chibi game you're working on.

the slave thing is pretty much the entire sd quest idea

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (8usd on kimochi)

Well I feel stupid. After playing SD quest I realize you're right. Also, SD Quest seems like a great game so far (I have only played a little of the demo), but I will limit my conversation to SD quest to the SD quest thread.

of course, I'm thinking of just tightening up the content in this game instead of adding the part two, i might still add the post game bonus bosses, but the 3 man party thing seems way too annoying without being able to resize the game window above 640 x 480...


wonder if anyone wants me to return to making those more puzzle oriented run or rape games like princess escape and yuko

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (£4.7 on kimochi)

Would it be possible to move the 3 person team to the bottom of the screen like that swordsman asagi game? If not then oh well, it was worth the shot. Any nee content is welcome. I liked the puzzle games, dont know about anyone else, though.

If im changing the UI then it ought to be its own game, but at this point i dont actually have any real plot ideas, it wouldve just been a string of bosses that found themselves in the inverse castle and do what they do as demons or whatever

I'm trying to buy it from there. But I get a perpetual loading screen that just moves a bar back and forth. Is it available somewhere else with all the extras?

extras? you can still grab it on kimochi as long as you grab it before march 1st

here's what i get when i click to buy it

can other people confirm it happens to them too?


edit- i've had to make the page public, i was hoping to use the secret links so only people who came from here or wherever i post it could find it...but it seems payments are disabled on that option

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (6.5usd on itch.io)

I got it working! I'm not sure what was wrong with it. Maybe a glitch of some kind. Thank you for the speedy response though. I can't wait to play it!

it's because i had to set it to public, meaning i dont get the protection of only letting people who i post links to see it...also im supposed to get sales notifications via email but i havent gotten any

either way i just released SD Quest too

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (6.5usd on itch.io)

something's going on here... the game has been downloaded 30 times despite only being bought twice, also paypal is still enabled as a payment processor despite flagging them as nsfw
(which is actually hidden away on the classification page)

Re: Princess Ren Returns (Damsel Quest 2) OUT NOW (6.5usd on itch.io)

Well, bought and finished the game.

Before I forget them, bugs:
- The Black Silk Cloak doesn't go in the Cloak category
- The treasure room in the library sign doesn't work
- Defeating the last boss + Emily phase 2 crashes the game after giving two "Ren is victorious" messages in a row. Just beating the boss worked and saving Emily worked though.
- The ballgag doesn't actually protect from the face hug (unless it's just by some value?)
- The hot-cold game doesn't actually cost any tokens
- The gallery was already unlocked as soon as I reached the casino, did not need to finish the game first (though I did get the gallery unlocked message when I finished the game)
- The Reinforce skill that's supposed to repair your clothing doesn't seem to work. Tried it both in-fight and out of fight in the smile armor area when Ran's top was missing. The +def buff did work though.
- Probably not a bug per say, but the starting weapon is "Twin Flames: A pair of swords...", which takes one weapon slot. When I got the longsword I replaced them, and it was only some time later I noticed that I could equip both the Long Sword and the Twin Flames at the same time (in other words, effectively wielding 3 swords at the same time based on the descriptions).

Questions:
- What does breaking the mirror in the library do?
- Is there any item that you can put in the Panties slot? I never found one (never found one that goes in Cloak either, although I suppose the Black Cloak was supposed to go in it).
- The Guardian Slime says to talk to "him" if Ren ever has a slime problem; can you do something with that?

Comments:
Well, first, thanks for making the gallery unlock upon winning the game: I can't stand losing on purpose so it's nice to get it upon winning.

With that said, in my case the gameplay comes first and the H stuff is secondary. Overall, "Ok" is the best rating I can give to the game. It has an unfinished feel to it, from the ultra-quick ending (about 5 lines of text with none from Emily even if you save her), to the bugs, to the limited options given to the player, to getting money the entire game even though there's only one shop near the middle with super limited inventory (Could we at least trade money for tokens?), to the huge art style clash (see for example the fights that had both a fairy and a soldier: it's very jarring).

The boss fights in general were fine, with a "trick" to use in most fights (poison and blind the boss, catch her repeating pattern to know when to cast the ice resist spell, blind the succubus, ect). The normal enemy battles were beyond tedious though, with 6000HP slime trios that drain all your MP. Yeah, you can blind them and spam poison cloud and they won't be dangerous, but it will still take forever to defeat them. There's 10k HP paladins. There's extremely dangerous Fairy alchemists, with basically no rewards but still take a lot of resources to beat even if you charm the two metal slimes. Or the duo of healing fairies that I'm not sure how you are supposed to be able to beat since they instantly replenish their MP even if you drain them out.

Regarding the H-part I suppose it was fine: I don't like mind-break in general so this game's fetish was definitively not for me but I'm obviously not going to dock points for personal preferences. Although I admit I was expecting a loving scene at the end with Ren and Emily, but that obviously was not to be. All h-scenes are also only got from losing which is not my preference, but that's common in the genre, so that's not really a knock. What's there should be pretty decent for fans of the genre I imagine.

Overall it's not too expensive, I kind of liked the art, I appreciate the mini-puzzle approach to most of the bosses and I liked the occasional bits of humor, but I unfortunately can't say the game wowed me in any way. I don't regret my purchase, but it's not the best gaming money I've spend either... Sorry for the mediocre review!

a lot of what you mentioned was legacy from majo, like the cloak not being in the cloak category and the lack of panties, the guardian slime removes the facehugger slimes if you get one on you.

and im sorry about the mirror, it was gonna be important in the expansion, as there was gonna be a monster living in mirrors that gets angrier each time you break one,

the gallery must be a thing with my unlock file, cause once the switch is on in my persistent data thing it will always be on, so i mustve unlocked it myself when testing...

bug sweeping now, the silk cloak is an easy fix, as is the sign...thought i already fixed that one...
facehug is a 80% chance, and the ballgag should nullify it completely...
ah damn...the reinforce thing is cause when i was preparing for the expansion, i changed it from switch based to status effect based...need to change the skill to remove the states instead of switching the skills off

sorry about the tanky enemies, i couldnt even remember how i beat the fairy druids (damn solar) last time i played through, i definitely did better on sd quest though the mooks might be too simple, either way theyre not annoying at least, so thats good



I don't consider your review to mediocre, i really appreciate stuff like this, cause it will keep me on my toes for my future games

PS...YOU MANAGED TO BEAT CORRUPT EMI?!!!! SERIOUSLY? HOWWWWWWWW?

final words... i do still plan on adding extra content to this game, but my multiple character party thing would have to be seperate, but yeah, bonus bosses and a love scene? i dont mind that at all...but i got a small project to get out of the way first


OH! AND! i uploaded a new version to itch.io just now with your bugs fixed
