Love the idea, I think this has a lot of potential. Having played around with a lot of NovelAI/AIDungeon recently, I had similar thoughts around using that to generate tease text. While I don't have time to volunteer currently, will definitely be keeping an eye on this and provide feedback/ideas ...

These are, again, excellent scores Errant. Would you mind sharing your strategy during encounters? What type of Attack do you use and/or when do you prefer to Wait?
By reading your next comment, I assume you're only using Normal Attacks instead of Heavy Blows, is that correct?



That's mostly ...

I've been trying to play this game so many times through many different versions (since the very early "legacy" one) and I always ended with frustration.
I can't understand if it's just being extremely unlucky or maybe it's me who didn't get how to play properly. Maybe both.

However all the times ...

Well, after my regular run of the new version, I'm happy to report it is possible to clear castle in 2 runs from a fresh game! :-D

Game 1: Got pretty lucky with early scarecrow and ice pick. I think I had a shot of actually clearing castle but I ran out of time before I could get the last map ...

Gave it a try, enjoyed it a lot!
The script is great, my only real criticism is that the TTS doesn't do a great job a lot of the time, in terms of pace/intonation, so it kind of pulls you out of the immersion. Otherwise, great work, thanks for posting!

I really liked your suggestions, I believe that they bring up other questions such as: Should using a potion continue to skip the Hero's turn? Should healing potions be relevant during all stages of the game? What is the value of restoring 100HP/Lust (Keeping in mind that the importance of these ...

Regarding the meta, I think there is one major thing that I may have forgotten to mention in the past, and is a big deal in how the game plays out: the shop scaling the cost of green/orange potions with your max hp/lust. I feel like this is an unconventional design choice, and it results in ...

I'm always interested in hearing suggestions that might shake up the meta like this one.
I'll change the icepick percentage from 20% to 15% and see how it goes, but it will probably be implemented.



Nice! Will be interesting to see how good it is at 15%.

Regarding the meta, I think there is ...

You managed to defeat the Castle in very few runs, Errant, congratulations!

Although sometimes I think the icepick is a little too op, I've thought several times about nerfing it to 10% :-P
But that doesn't take away your merit, congratz again :love:


Thank you! I've had many versions to ...

It seems there was interest in seeing people's scores, so here's an example playthrough of the latest version in normal mode, up to beating the castle :)

Game 1: oops, bad math on Kitty (forgot about the half damage in the second part), early loss. 95 points.
Game 2: 740 points, could probably have ...

Hi UninvitedGeist,

Great work again! You're in danger of becoming one of my favorite authors :lol:

Loved the overall story, reminded me of an old favorite, "Will you save America?". The branching was great, and the scenes were well written. It did feel a tad on the short side, but I'm glad the ...

Canto I came out right when I was getting into this hobby, and it was the first time I was really blown away beyond 'just' cool music to hot people edited nicely - it set my preferences for story-driven, beautifully composed work.

So welcome back!


Thank you so much from the Eroshpere team ...

Woohoo! Despite all this time, I never doubted you would deliver on it! Thanks so much for continuing to put in so much hard work into this series.

Hi Errant, I'm glad you've maintained your interest in Hero Corruption even after so many months have passed. :love:

I agree with your opinion, the Lust and HP perks when below level 3 seems to be inferior when compared to the others, and to be honest, I couldn't think of anything that ...

Hi diogaoo, long time fan of the series, but rare poster! Thanks for all the hard work on this over all the versions. Thought I should give back a bit with some feedback :)
This is coming with a full clear of the castle on this version, and many of the versions before that.

- I posted about this a ...
