Release edit : it's out!

So this is a game that caught my attention while doing some browsing on pixiv, from an apparently new circle!
Release is slated for... May 2016, yeah it's not exactly living up to it so far. But from the demo it seems pretty complete so I hope it won't be delayed too much.
"Nun Katora and the Bizarre Dungeon"
Circle's blog :
hxxp://yonemaru27.blog.fc2.com/
Can't post link due to not enough posts so just replace xxs with tts. Also a z by a w.
You play a retired heroine named Katora who's now living as a nun, until one day a portal to a dungeon randomly appears in the middle of the calm village.
The Demon Lord's daughter made it and wants the heroine to suffer inside (also the heroine's powers don't work inside the other dimension dungeon).
Cue the game.

So how's the game?
There's a demo available which allows you to play through the first 3 dungeons.
It has a certain variety in its fetishes (with stuff like mind control, petrification, tentacles, massagers, hands going to places... just from the demo. full game looks like it'll include stuff like the heroine getting turned into a doll, which is great for weirdoes like me).

More stuff about the game in the spoiler below.

While the game advertises itself as BF, it's pretty light, the heroine can (and will) be the victim of sex attacks but she can't dish them back. Mashing your down arrow key is how you escape from them (if you want to).
It's a dungeon crawling type of game, tho it has some roguelike qualities, mainly the way the maps are done, with random ennemy/treasure chest spawns who appear on the map and only move when you do.

You progress through the (seemingly randomly generated) maps looking for stairs to go to the next level.
Each dungeon has about 2 different kinds of ennemies and a boss at the end. You get a scene from losing to random encounters (which will generally include elements of both monsters' type of attacks) and from losing to the dungeon's boss.
Enemies can rip off your clothes to execute sex attacks, but it regenerates after every battle.
The battle interface includes a typical arousal counter when you're being sex'd, reaching 100 (...or around it, seemed a bit buggy at times) will make the heroine come and lose all her MP. Yeah it's generally pretty bad.
There's also a more obvious "PINCH GAUGE" which has nothing to do with nipples. It's how much you're in a pinch, basically how far specific status effects, such as arousal or petrification, are taking effect on you. Petrification is an instant kill, arousal might as well be but you can sometimes still do stuff.

Attacks are pretty simple, with both magic and melee skills, with swords and rods available depending on your preferred means of attack. Oh and there's a suicide skill, in case you'd have trouble getting killed or just want to see a scene again.
Speaking of which : bosses respawn when you return, so you can farm them for exp and maybe some drops.
The 1st dungeon is probably the most frustrating, because you can't do anything until you clear it, and you start out basically naked inside. Chests include some gear like swords and shields but it's still pretty slow.

After finishing it, you'll get the Warp ability, which will allow you to leave a dungeon at any time for free.
After finishing the 2nd dungeon, you should find a sparkle in the heroine's bedroom on her bookshelf, it's a picture of her during her magic-knight days, she'll reminisce on it and learn a pretty powerful melee attack, which is useful.
And that's pretty much it. Ok yes that is a bit anyway.
I've found it pretty decent as far as new circle games go. Gameplay's basic but pretty solid, the art is... Decent? It's not a high end style for sure but I think it works (except maybe the hair. that pink sometimes just feel *off* to me).

So yeah that's it.

Damn nice job with the info in the post. Will give it a try.
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

Yeah, the late May planned release date as well as the relative lack of updates on his blog makes me hope that he's in the final push and that the game is going to be released this weekend.

On a side note, there was an unrelated RPG that was released a few weeks ago (dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ126911.html) that drew my attention because the CG is remarkably similar to the ones in this game. It's as if there's a base template CG and while the hair style and color vary, some of the poses are exactly the same. This guy's other older RPG (dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ126911.html) also has identical poses with CG from RJ177480.

I'm only writing about this since I'm just curious, and if there really is a "make your own HCG template", then I wouldn't mind getting a hold of it...

Alright, I'm really, really hyped for this. Having played through the demo, this game has been nothing short of awesome. Reasons:

>Randomly generated dungeon layouts made in RPGMaker, a-la Dungeons & Prisoners
> C O M B A T R A P E I cannot stress how big of a plus this is
>a wide variety of fetishes (including the rarer mind control, which is even included in the demo!)
>good handling of status effects/combat rape
>good art
>good amount of content (3 dungeons in demo, at least 4 more locked ones visible)

Also, huge tip that made dungeon 3 a lot easier when I learned it: you can escape attacks by holding down instead of mashing it, which is actually much faster than spamming the button.

Yeah, the art style is instantly recognisable. Just been playing this: http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=29004 that uses the same art assets. Also recognisable as all the art Yonyon uses, and other makers. It's a nice resource for game makers who don't have an actual artist on the team.
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

the good thing is, if you extract the rgssa3 data you see that almost everything from the finished game is already in the demo. Albeit not everything is already fleshed out. The mindcontrolling tentaclemonster is especcially good, the only sad part about it is that an orgasm loses the battle automatically.
I really live the struggle/Pinch mechanics. Wish it would be in more games, since it is even more fleshed out then in "virgin protection magic"
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

There's a new post on his dev blog - looks like the planned release date is now mid-June.
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

So hey, figured I'd give a couple heads up.
Also reading everyone's posts feel like I've been overly critical of the game in my opening post, haha (mind you I also thoroughly enjoyed the demo).
The demo's save will not be compatible with the full game (that will not stop me from trying but hey, that's the maker's word on it).
Other tidbits from the blog : blindfolds will be involved in one scene (*adds to game variety checklist*), it might be possible to use the heal spell outside of battles (dev seem to have some issues with that).
Seems like they can't make a yuri scene with the assets they use (d'oh), but if their game sells well they'd be interested in hiring an artist (hint hint, also already plans for more? well that's cool).
A previous update showed a mob inflicting sleep on the heroine (hmm.)
There will be events in the village.
There will be another petrification scene in the full game.
Just stuff from the last two updates.

Marble Syrup's Crusoe Had It Easy
Gasp!! That's where all this art is pulled from!!

I knew I recognized that boobage! :D





The question to be answered now is, who ripped off who?

They are all from which they bought to make into assets.

Yep, and it was also already discussed right at the beginning of the thread. Off the top of my head, another game that uses it is Ladies Sex Bout. As for this game, the combat rape seems solid enough (though for me not on the level of something like Virgin's Protection Magic), so color me interested.
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

Hope the game has voice acting, hearing the sounds of the main characters's cries is the cat's meow.
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

It's out today ' 3'
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

It's out now! Later than expected (late instead of mid June) but it seems that in apology, the developer made the price slightly lower.

Also I'm a bit amused that my google-translated anonymous request (blindfold scene) got through to him and that he either granted it or it was already in. Almost feel like I owe him more than just buying one copy...
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

So the demo I like better than his previous games ^^
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

Looks like the author is taking requests for a new dungeon that will be available in an update. Basically no heavy ryona/guro/scat, otherwise he'll do what he can? As I understood from my google translate skills. How nice of them!
Also my demo save was compatible with the full game, so here's to that.
 
Re: 修道女カトラと奇妙なダンジョン [RJ177480]

If you like random gen dungeons, check this out. IMO this felt more fun and erotic.
