Hello lapenolive, Version 0.7c will be published here at milovana.com when I finish working on 0.75, I don't have the exact date yet, but I can guarantee it will be early July

The boss fight that triggers when you hear giggling from the forest can be easily circumvented by going into the city, is this intentional?

Hi LittleElfBoy, yes, this is intended. Those are considered "major enemies" and are a little bit harder than other enemies from their area, you can also wait/sleep to skip time in order to be ready for the next time they appear

Love this tease. I've played it for hours since I first played it a few weeks ago when it was on the front page.

I like how there's no instructions on what to do, as I find that I ignore them anyway on most teases. The difficulty and options of the tease makes you keep coming back for more and I must have done a a good 20/30 runs already most of them ending in failure to start with!

I'd personally say the following things are things that need to be addressed in regards to difficulty as I think it's borderline impossible to mount a consistent challenge on the deep forest enemies.

- Corruption/attraction increase is too high if you lose a battle via lust. If you've played a few days and you lose via lust it's normally impossible to recover from this situation as you can't win battles and therefore can't make the money to start recovering at the church. I've had battles against Helen where I was one hit from defeating her only to lose and then be so weakened that I'm unable to win another battle and therefore essentially a game over. I tried running away and hoping for some lucky blue potion drops but I think it's a very low chance that you could actually use such a strategy effectively.

- The wishing well is totally evil! I thought this might be a way of making a nice amount of gold from time to time but I seem to just consistently lose on it. Even with a generous donation of 50 coins (That's a good 5/8 battles won) I only received 40 in return... If that well was a casino it would be shut because no one would go back! You've got to give the punters a little chance of winning otherwise they won't get hooked

- Gold rewards for the deep forest enemies. Even with all my playthroughs I find it impossible to build a strong enough hero to take out the deep forest enemies consistently. I think that could be addressed by awarding a lot more gold so you have a chance to recover at the church plus also start building on your strengths at places like the blacksmiths which have such high prices for crafting and also buying materials.

Basically I think the rewards need to be increased so you can start building your character as otherwise I'm not sure how you will have the strength to get to the next stage in the game when it gets released.

Just wondering as well. Is there anyplace to just outright buy the game (like on itch.io) rather than subscribing for a monthly fee on Patreon? Call me old fashioned but I prefer buying things in one go rather than subscribing to something that you lose if you stop paying.

EDIT - Actually played it on a PC for the first time and might have find the secret to success... So maybe the game is fairer than I thought! Love it. So much depth.

EDIT 2 - Also before I forget. There seems to be a bug with Hannah where even after she makes you cum it doesn't cut to the camp and continues on with the 'fight'. You have your full health again but she will be weakened to what she was before you cum.

I think its funny reading the "this is great... but please make it easier" posts. I think players experience some frustration and think to themselves, 'this is a game, it shouldn't be frustrating'. But somehow not realising that the reason the game is so interesting is because it's a bit mysterious and you can't easily do everything you want to do. If the game was easier and you defeated all the enemies and explored everything in a run or two, you would've been done with the game already and not as intrigued.

Either way, I guess the next release will be easier, and it should release soon(?)

Sorry, I had to laugh at this because it made me think of this:

I think that meme is pretty cringey and isn't relevant... but I guess the guy's name is a bit funny.

Hi blondegazza, thank you for your feedback, I'll take your suggestions into consideration, as I said on a previous reply, I'm not comfortable on tweaking the difficulty so much right now, i have a feeling that as the development progresses, the game will get easier (not to much tho), but I'll keep your feedback in mind. I'll also look out for this bug and fix it asap, thanks for reporting it

About the game monetization: The game is and will be free for everyone, the subscription is for those who don't feel like waiting for the next update to be released here on the website and want to help me while I'm developing it. Today this frequency of updates is only possible because of this method. So there's no plans on changing it for now

EDIT 2 - Also before I forget. There seems to be a bug with Hannah where even after she makes you cum it doesn't cut to the camp and continues on with the 'fight'. You have your full health again but she will be weakened to what she was before you cum.

@edit: Actually, I just read your bug report again and this is how Hannah's encounter is intended, the battle won't finish until you defeat her or

Spoiler: show

get a game over (bad end)

I guess the next release will be easier, and it should release soon(?)

Also, I'm already finishing the next update, this means that version 0.7 should be available here on Milovana.com really soon (tomorrow or Friday), I'll be looking forward for all your opinions.

Sorry if I'm being too straightforward, these last few days before the next release have been a little tight
