Cruel Serenade: GutterTrash
First content pack for GutterTrash now out on Itch!
It's finally here! Version 0.6.2 of Cruel Serenade: GutterTrash, which adds the first content pack for the game, is now live on Itch. If you've already purchased the game, this is a free upgrade! If you haven't purchased it yet, now is a great time.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is a FREE UPGRADE if you already own the game. If you have purchased the game, but get a prompt to buy when trying to download, DO NOT buy it again (unless you're feeling generous). Itch can be a little...special sometimes. If you can't download it normally from the main page, make sure you're logged in, then check your game library on Itch: you should be able to download it there without issue.
I won't post the changelog here to avoid spoilers, but it is included in the Readme.txt as always. For those who missed the earlier post, this new pack includes:
-The real "slut mode" fight and endings.
-The path through the host club (building with a rabbit on it).
-A mini-game.
-A few other bits here and there.
-And overall adds 4 scenes and 5 unique CG, nearly doubling the amount present on launch.
Saves can be carried over, as long as they're prior to, or at, the point Mezz wakes up in Mahir's HQ. All the new content is after this point. If you don't have such a save handy, one has been included in the "StarterSave" folder in the "www" folder of the game. Just copy those files over to your "save" folder (you'll have to save at least once to create it), and you should be good to go.
Thank you all for your continued support. Now dig in, and let me know what you think!
Edit: To clarify, the Host Club is in Entertainment District II, the left path. The rest of the new content can be encountered by getting to Khazeem in "Slut Mode," one way or the other. So if you start as far back as recommended, there will be a stretch of unchanged game before you get to the new stuff. There's a reason for starting that far back though; won't say more for now, don't want to spoil it.

the trainers are the most annoying enemy i hate having to close my game 100 times to land a crit on them
To be clear, you can just quit to title and reload from there rather than restarting, though I do wish it could be done right from the menu. Quirk of RPGMaker. They are meant to be a little tricky though, gotta make that last bit challenging if you decide to fight through it honestly.
I missed the update while I was sick, but just today I've recently touched on it and I'm quite impressed with what I've seen so far! You do some really great work, try not to stress over the holiday season!
Thanks! Will definitely have at least a little fun :D.
I honestly loved this update, the dice game kinda gotten me stumped cause i kept getting bad rolls but really i liked it, especially that secret ending. hehehe
Aw thanks, good to hear! The dice can be a little odd with their RNG, but certainly beatable with a little effort.
Its been fun and enjoyable and i feel like i got all the scenes! ( red _-_- was good foreshadowing for future content too) But at the same time i think ill need a list of all the scenes and endings available to make sure i did get all of it.
Id suggest a scene/scenario viewer in the future so that i dont have that feeling of missing out on something. But seeing as thats my only gripe you once again made a solid game!
OpenFireplace will have an updated scene guide up in a few days, so you check that to be sure. And thanks!
I think I might just be a bit blind, but where is Entertainment District II? Thank ya
The first area after you leave the plaza in the Gutter is Entertainment District I. The one after that, to the "north" is II. It's the one after the first batch of fighting.
Sorry for the late reply, still cant seem to find it? Im very confused sorry.
So you know the plaza, right? The place with Mahir's place, the jobs, the crate you stand on? You exit that going "North"/Up. Then you fight your way through the next section, the one with the middle path you can't use yet, and kinda snake around till you're at the top and exit there. The map you end up on, the one where you either collapse or meet Mahir once you're out on the street, is Ent. Dist. II.
Great update whatsoever! Really liked the new and fresh looking sprite of Mezz wearing the bunny suit for that host club :)
Thanks!
What host club ? ^^'
I think I missed almost all new content in my new play throught. The only new thing I stumbled upon is the new fight with the final boss :/
guess I'll have to try again but I have no idea what to look for XD
Can you nerf the green hyena? or make it possible to counter him like the yellow hyena (using guard) as well as the normal hyena stare stun..
its really frustrating to just basically lose instantly (lose a life) when you don't defeat him on turn 2 and he has more health..
i have to get 4 hits on the green hyena using hard knocks which is random and has a chance to miss and it also seem like hard knocks has a lower chance to hit him?
like it makes the game hard but in a frustrating way
He is a bit of a bastard. At this point though, I'm probably not going to tweak the difficulty on most things. Fights in CS are always a race, and the harder they get the more race-like they tend to become. If you're not already doing so, be sure to roughly keep track of which of the enemies are taking what damage: sometimes it's faster to lash out with a normal attack on one enemy after a few turns (like the green guy) to make sure he goes down NOW, rather that having to wait to recharge the more powerful attack. That said, sometimes you WILL just be screwed by RNG. That's somewhat by design: CS fights are meant to be part skill, and part luck. If you were always guaranteed a win by choosing the right menu options, there would be no tension to the fights. So, a little like a real fight that's close, it's partly about skill and partly about whether a window of opportunity opens up. That said, if you're saving as you're defeating mobs, and being careful with your timing and items, it shouldn't be TOO hard to get through that last leg of Entertainment District I.
love the new content also got a bit confused mistaking the bar at the beginning for the club and speaking of is there going to be another update that uses the bar and the alleyway behind it? because I found the keys behind the video store but couldn't find where to use them but I first thought they went to one of the two locked doors in the bar so I'm unsure if that's in an update or am I missing something?
The strip club? Hooopefully, but we'll see. That's the lowest priority, and last to get worked on. Keys are for combat though, try them out in a fight.
Loving the new content! It makes me excited for the Mahir content, I really enjoy his in control energy he has, and I don't even know what kind of content might be in the middle path. Looking forward to more of your work, and more of this world.
Thanks!
Do we need to pay for the update ? I can't find Cruel Serenade : GutterTrash in my purchased folder even though I paid for it.
Nope, should be a free download, listed as 0.6.2. Any chance you bought it under a different account?
Hmmm dont think so ? I used to have another account but it was hacked quite some time ago so itch services striked it down and gaves me back my purchases on this account. It happened a few months ago allready so I doubt it is the reason as Guttertrash is still recent...
(Never mind it was more or less the reason why. My account now have two emails linked to it and one of them just overights the other; so if I want to redeem something I paid for with the other email I need to ask for the links to be sent there)
Mistery solved !
Ah, that makes sense. Glad you figured it out!
So i made it to Entertaiment dis 2. Was going though Mahir dialoge and i get a message saying (only the passage to the right is available. Do i need to find someone to get me into the host club?
Are you...sure you're playing the right version? Should be 0.6.2. I'm looking at that dialogue in the editor right now, and I definitely changed it. The bit where he runs up to you in the street right?
If you're talking about earlier, in his hq, that's talking about the center path, which still isn't in yet. But in Ent. Dist. II, that dialogue should be changed to reflect the new content.
oh my mistake you right was playing on a another update. will get that new stuff now.
No worries!
Well just did the 1st run going in blind and it was great so far only felt a bit short, the content pack that is.
Now I see I also skipped the Host Club section, got in slut mode a tad to early I think.
Anyway great update so far and gonna scope out the rest in a few days.
thx & Cheers :3
Thanks! Yeah definitely give the host club a run too, some good stuff there.
im so excited well goodbye nnn and i made it so far to
Ha! Hey, it's for a good cause (getting off).
So I'm kind of confused as to how to access this new content. Is it to the left after you wake up in Khazeem's place that has a trapdoor and a chest and is guarded? Because if so I can't go there. Keep getting "No going back now" or something.
Nope, much earlier than that. Entertainment District II. To be clear, if you want to do the host club, you have to get there WITHOUT being in slut mode already. If you are, you'll completely bypass that section.
I see, thank you for clarifying.
Has it ever been considered an option to turn off fight animations or something to speed them up? It'd help to get through some of the samey fights every update and for future installments of the series
The actual fight animations, or the fight sex stuff? The former shouldn't take THAT long, and if the latter are getting repetitive, you can avoid that content altogether with the charm (though that may end up locking you into a particular ending).
oh I meant the actual animations yeah, just speed all fights up wit that. It's fine if there's no way to implement that though
Yeah, that more or less is what it is. There might be a way to add the ability to skip, but it would be...very fiddly to get working if it existed. Will keep in mind if it becomes an issue for others though.
Where is the saves folder located? I have made a save file after updating but I dont see it anywhere.
just start the game up, make a save and check the www folder, there should be a "save" folder that got created
What Shyno said. I keep wanting to call it "saves," but the folder is "save". Be sure to copy BOTH of the files from "StarterSave".
When I talk to Mahir after going to the video store, I still get the message about only the side alleys being available. I thought that might just be an oversight but I can't for the life of me figure out how to go down the middle lane, so I'm worried this download is somehow an older version. Could it have something to do with me using the save that came with the download?
Just tried it from the very beginning, same result
Disregard the other comments, I just assumed that the bunny building was going to be right at the beginning, but it's actually after a bit of the side alley
Yes, center path is a later addition. The new content MOSTLY starts once you get to Entertainment District II where the host club is. There IS a reason I recommended that people start that far back though.
A fun reason? or a technical one?
I have managed to find the host club and new ending myself, but I checked the game files and it seems there is some CG I have missed...
I explored many possibilities and have not been able to find them, so I have to assume that those CG have not been implemented yet?
Found it thank you! All very nice additions by the way, definitely worth the wait~Nope, everything there is in. Technically I didn't end up using one of the variations of the bar scene images, but all the scenes themselves are in the game.
Consider why I might have had people start there. What item is only available there? And no, not the cologne, that has no bearing on the slut mode route.
Where is the building with the bunny located for those who are looking for that content
wondering about that too
Second part of the alleys, not the middle path
i updated and installed..but still didnt work..x.x do i need to uninstall the other version first?
Didn't work in what way? Are you having trouble running it, or getting to the new content?
I'm also lost on how to get to new content as it still says only side alley is available.
The middle path is still coming later, the new content is when you get to second part of the alleys
What Seal Quin said, host club is to the left in Entertainment District II
Oh! o.o so it has nothing to do with the bunny suit he wont put on?
You'll see when you play it out
He has to put on the suit to get into the club. He has to be "corrupted" enough to be willing to put on the suit. Other than that, I'm sure you'll figure out the rest.
Yooo!!! So excited to see the new content!
