Cruel Serenade 0.3.1 is up!
(Edited post to point to 0.3.1. Just like 0.3, but with less bugs!)
Had some oddities the past week that dragged things a little, but 0.3 is finally up and ready for download! Slut mode has been expanded on and polished, there's a bunch of new battle sprites I think you'll like (Hard Knocks and Flash Dodge finally have unique art!), and finally a proper scene and end for fighting Diezel when in Slut Mode.
Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports so far, and keep 'em coming. I tried to playtest this a decent bit, but I'm sure there's a few things I missed here and there. Thanks also for the support, both in payments and just in kind comments. I'm glad people are enjoying what I've got here, and I look forward to building out more as time goes on.
This marks the final content update for this chapter, though there will be bug patches as needed. From here, work starts on chapter 2, and in fact I already have a lot of the basic outline/planning done. My extremely rough estimate is a work time of about 8 months, with an update about halfway through. But a lot of thing are in flux in my life right now, so we'll see how things go.
Oh, and I'll also have a guide up before long so people can check and make sure they've seen everything.
Changelog:
New Content:
-A bunch of new battle art, including art for Hard Knocks and Flash Dodge, nude versions, and some new stuff for slut mode!
-New ending and scene when fighting Diezel in slut mode!
-Some new lines added to Slut Mode combat.
Refinements:
-Clothing is now optional in Slut Mode!
-By popular demand, insta-loss item has been added for those in a hurry or hunting for one missing scene. Check the top right desk in the main office.
-Skill fix. I've done some housekeeping with the skills and a few other things. Unfortunately, this means old saves will be messed up and there's no simple way to fix them, so you'll have to play this one on a fresh file.
-Slut mode has been tweaked to be more streamlined. In testing, I was able to get through the center path of the second area (three-way-split area) in 6 minutes. This should be acceptable, since by the time you hit slut mode you'll probably have the first area cleared already (and possibly even part of the second).
-Sound volume fix. After trying a few things, the best solution seems to be to just use the volume selection in the options menu to lower the game. I recommend 40% across the board. Having it "correct" at 100 would be ideal, but RPMMaker MV assumes a default volume of 90, and there are a few things that are weirdly impossible to adjust.
Bug Fixes:
-Fixed minor collision issues on right side of docks, in warehouse and office.
-Hopefully fixed "flicker" on Mezz spite in some cases in fights. Let me know if this is still an issue. If it's the stutter at the very end of battle though, that's probably unfixable for now.
-Forgot to actually put the changelog entry for the previous version in the readme file. Derp. So that's fixed now.
-Fixed "not yet" choice prompt in warehouse not moving players back, and thus
failing to act as a barrier.
-Added to post-fight cleanup so weapon placeholders won't stay in inventory.
-Fixed incorrect text formatting on leaving storage shed for third time.
-Fixed slut mode boss fight not giving proper skills when looping.
-Fixed a typo on dialog when entering slut mode boss fight.
-Fixed "resist" skill not showing up in normal mode Masher Boar fight.
-Boars now restart sex ("grab") on first attempt after initial sex in slut mode.
-Fixed "resist" being persistent after sex ends.
-Fixed some invisible sprite issues with Masher Boar sex sprites.
-Fixed sprite not resetting when losing to boar guard.
-Fixed boars grabbing too soon when Mezz is downed in slut mode.
-Fixed ear clip equip/unequip not working consistently
-Fixed clothing stripping in battle not working right on multiple battle trances

So while chapter 2 have differences in it depending on if you got the normal ending or the slut ending in chapter 1?
Among other things, yes. Won't be anything huge at first, just some slight differences, but it will build by the time we get to the last chapter (if and when).
I think there are some when first under slut mode and undressed, the cut scene and dialogue won't play differently after reloading the save and trying to play the game with clothing. And the boar can miss the attack to grab our hero when he is begging for it (which is hilarious).
Let's start with the last one. That is a bit silly, and something I forgot. Fix was a little convoluted, but they will now grab right away in slut mode (once the patch is released).
I'm not sure what you're saying for the first one. So if you hit slut mode, undress, save, and reload the save, dialog isn't appropriate? Which dialog? The reaction the mobs give when nude? I'll need more specifics on this.
Maybe I have mistaken the gameplays. I assume there will be different dialogue for clothed and stripped appearance once we entered battles after we first entered slut mode, I recall something about the smell in the clothed appearance, but Maybe I remember it wrong.
So to clarify:
-Entering a fight with the normal 3 enemy boars after your first defeat triggers one-time dialog (but not any of the other mobs, as I assumed the player wouldn't be that far).
-Entering a fight nude in slut mode will trigger a one-time dialog for any of the mobs (and it's unique per mob). This only fires once though, so if you want to see the other mobs reactions you have to reload a save.
-There's no special dialog for clothed, in either slut or normal mode, though the boars will grab you after the first turn with a unique rotating set of remarks in slut mode.
Let me know if any of this doesn't match what you're seeing in the game.
I downloaded it but its just a black screen
Edit: nvm got it to work
Do you know what was causing it? I've seen word of this crop up a few times, and I have no idea what the culprit might be.
Idk, but my guess is when it starts up the whole file prob crashes, to fix it i just delete the file and un-zip it again
Ah so maybe a zip corruption error. That would make sense.
Btw, any plans for a mobile ver?
Nope. As I've said, plugins don't play well with mobile, which would mean me taking apart and fixing someone else's massive pile of javascript. Several times.
Haven't finished the update yet, on the second area in slut mode and I'm really liking it so far! Great QOL changes!
Thanks!
What is slut mode?
Losing to the mobs three times changes the fight mechanics, NPC dialog, and now boss battle in various ways. Note that if you fight the boss before getting those three losses you'll be locked in to the other endings, so you might want to drop a save before that.
An update arriveth. Neat.
A pleasant surprise! I will definitely come to donate when my payday come!
Aw, appreciate it!
it'd have to be the start of next month tho haha.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Amazing work!!!
Thanks!
YOOOOOO
Hopefully people enjoy it, this one'll have to last a while. Confident there's some good stuff in there though.
thanks trying it now... stupid sugestion for postgame content, could you add a developer comentary mode that adds comments on your thoughts on the game and its area's / enemys somehow even if its just text added in an odd color to differentiate it from charactor text it is added to.
Eh, I don't think it would really make sense with a game like this. But as always, people are certainly free to ask questions.
