how do you get to fight the spider-woman?
the spiders in the game do not get aroused, doing nothing just makes you lose and attacking them is to no use since when you win you get nothing either.

You need to strengthen your arouse attack to max. you can strengthen it by one point after you defeat opponents (I think 5) using arouse. but, I am pretty sure the "look for more elves to fight (you monster)" enemies don't count. I suggest restarting, and after the tutorial, you beat the first enemy with the sword so you have enough health, and beat everyone else using arouse attacks. minus the spiders of course.

The bad! (Or at least not as good)
My biggest quibble would have to be with the Lust mechanic. It's all over the place, mostly because of hidden information. What "resisting the attack" means is completely unclear. Does that mean the enemy is immune to Lust attacks? Does that mean they have a high chance of failing against them? On top of that, Lust and Physical damage fluctuate from enemy to enemy with no indications as to why. The Tree(?) enemy for example only takes 6 Lust damage, but the Hero can do 10. Presumably, this is because the Tree(?) has an innate Lust resistance of 4 that's being taken off the attack, but not showing that makes it so you're never quite sure how much damage you'll be doing with one of your two methods of attack.
Suggestion - Display Lust resistance on enemies. It could be ??? if you've never tried using Lust against them. If you have, it would display the resistance as a number. So the Tree(?)'s innate Lust resistance would be displayed as 4. If the enemy is immune to Lust, it would be Immune instead. If it has a high chance of failing, that's trickier. Perhaps a percent chance could be displayed instead next to the Innate resistance.

SCAN.gif

While changing how lust works would mean rewriting the entire battle engine (AGAIN), I can do this as a sort of middle ground! With the next update you can buy a Scanner that allows you to examine an enemy's stats. It gives a short blurb about them and shows you what their defenses are. It will also warn you what type of attacks they may use.

Fighting the Hooded Girl feels wrong. She spends the whole thing tearfully pleading for you to get away from her while you try to cut her down? That's evil as shit, and your health resets when the Werewolf comes out anyway so fighting her is pretty pointless. I think it would be a better scene if the Hero tried to calm her down instead, and then she ended up hulking out and then the actual fight started. Later encounters perhaps could have her gradually being able to talk more before the wolfgirl came out to play or something. I dunno. Sure don't very heroic trying to stab someone who's flailing against me while crying hysterically though, and trying to arouse someone in that state would be a very different kind of scene I don't think you're trying to go for here.

Losing to Shuten to progress her route is great, but she's not very hard to beat and doesn't make it clear you have to do that. In fact, she seems to suggest that she'll get progressively more difficult the more you challenge her and eventually you'll warm her aloof, predatory heart by beating her at full strength or something. Her dialogue when she tests you with her tail seems to point towards that as well. Would suggest adding some kind of hint that this is not in fact the case so people don't end up wailing on her for five fights while wondering why nothing is happening.

It's kind of odd there's not a sex scene, or even a cuddling scene or something after the Pure Elf date. She smiles at you for the first time and then that's it, date over, see you next time? Maybe you're just saving the sex for another update but it bugged me enough to want to mention it.

Hooded Girl is going to be fixed. It's not even close to what I want it to be. She -is- worried but more about killing you. And, mind you, she has 99 lust resist. You shouldn't be trying to use that on her. When I have a full scene for her at the ready I'll be fixing her whole encounter.

I will try to add something for Shuten to make it just a bit more clear that she doesn't like to lose. I'd tried to make it so with the fact that physical domination is a thing for her. Her casual dialogue hints at it a bit.

Pure Elf lewds are coming.I wanted a cute scene for this update! Hopefully it was sufficiently cute.

Scene's as in multiple? Doesn't the trap already have enough content already????? I can only hope this will be the end to his content them.

If you don't like the Male Half Elf, (or any other male enemies) don't lewd them. None of their content is forced on you and you can just escape from any fight you have with them.

The scanner sounds like a good compromise. I brought up Shuten because I smacked her around for like a week straight without getting anywhere, so it's nice that she'll be more forthcoming about her preferences. The Pure Elf scene was indeed cute. She's got a great smile.

What's the max though? I've leveled up my lust to 21 and I've been unable to find her.

Also a correction and a note: You can strengthen lust after 4 arouse defeats, not 5. You can also grind on the "Look for stronger enemy" fights. The tree and the second form of the werewolf girl. They both have high lust resistance though.

You should be able to grind it just a little bit higher now. The current max should be 22. Also there's a new free update that adds Scan to the game and fixes a buncha typos found by MasterBlaxer. You can find it here

I hope you guys enjoy it!

So that means I'm screwed if my lust attacks are low and I already befriended all the elves (male, female, pure) ?

Anyone knows the console variables I could change to work it around ?

You should be able to use it against enemies like the drow and tree too, if you want to just grind the ability up. If you've not raised it at all then it might be too late. I will try to address this by next update so people who haven't been raising theirs won't be boned.

In the most non-rude way possible, this was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I can not wait for a new update!
