How do I raise relationship levels again?

I'm on the "Island Fever" quest with 6 days remaining now and I'm still not sure what to do. From what I understand, I need help from Senna, Karen, Theresa and Charlotte. I believe the game wants me raise the relationship with them (they're all level 1) to complete the quest.
As @Deckmaster stated, most of the relationships will trigger events once experience is high enough (~75 in the code). If I had to guess, I think you're blocked from progressing because you're trying Senna before Karen? In the event dialogue she'll refuse you until after Karen's Waterfall Event happens. Theresa and Charlotte will request some items to be found by searching the Coast/Waterfall.

Does somebody has a walkthrough or explain how to cheat exactly, i tried the game many times but seems to die everytime.
The game itself looks nice, i actually really like the Japanese style.

I went and collected golden fruit just before night time the day she let me know about it. I was too hurt to try again the next night so then the next day when I tried to find it again it didn't spawn and hasn't spawned since. Since you can't level up the relationship without doing this I think this needs to be handled better.

Hi @FrankT,
I'm putting together a consolidated guide, but I really want to reserve it for patrons (since I haven't been able to reward them with much). If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

There are a lot of variables being tracked that may or may not break the game, but cheats for stash items you can edit values in console with these:
  • ration = ##
  • res_food = ##
  • res_wood = ##
  • res_metal = ##
  • res_cloth = ##
  • res_token = ##
  • res_dye = ##
  • res_circuit = ##

Hi @TheoWolf3,
Which fetch quest are you on? The Golden Fruit for the Forbidden Fruit quests should be available so long as you haven't collected 5.

If you're on the first Forbidden Fruit, it should work so long as you're in the Waterfalls at 1 action point remaining.
If you're on Forbidden Fruit 2, I added a stricter condition so it's Plains, 1 action point remaining, and Rain.

I'll do a replay tonight to verify, thanks for the report!

I'm on the first one. I think I collected 5 on that first try but I can't turn them in if that's the case

Hi @TheoWolf3,
So yesterday I briefly replayed the quest under your conditions + reviewed the code.

I think the issue is related to Meryl's experience points. For the most part, side NPCs won't trigger a quest until ~75/100 experience points, but for Meryl I accidentally have that condition switch for the follow-up event (turning them in to her). You should be able to advance by raising experience points past 75, but let me know if it doesn't work.

Also, I found an issue with the calculator for fatigue events (Mc has 0 health). In the live build, you'd begin the next day with 0 Action points (resulting in 1 loss day, 2 loss nights). Next version will result in skipping the night phase and starting with 3 Action Points (1 loss night).

On the hunting screen, how do I fire. I thought the tutorial said to click the mouse, but nothing's happening, not even the shot count going down. Also I can't leave the hunting minigame.

There are crossairs in the field. Click on them.

I hate not being able to post concept art on Patreon =(.


Nevertheless, here's the for Senna's level 3. Obviously missing a BG and some minor fixes, but I know how frustrating to play any game with months of just foreplay. Anyhow, here's to animated sex scenes in the next build!

You can post concept art. You just have to put censorship bars over the free tier content. You can leave it uncensored for paid tiers.

So like a cropped image that teases the content for the non-patreons, and the paid patreons can see the hot porn.

Oh yeah, that's what I did with the preview layers a few days earlier. The main issue is my one "selling point" was animated 2d art (not just 10 frame slideshows in Renpy), and now that Patreon has cracked down on that, I can't really promote the game that way. Outside of art teasers and release builds, I'm not getting any eyeballs on the project... that's why debugging and balancing is a struggle.

I don't know, maybe it's just frustration but it's demotivating nonetheless when I'm not getting much of any traffic on the Patreon. Financial support is always the dream ofc, but realistically I'm not sure how long I can continue burning away my free time for a handful of views.

Previewing one more animation public. This time, Karen's level 3!


I've been working on this over the week and had to go back several times to re-do layers (attached for reference), so it was quite a task.

Nevertheless, the animation is done with BG assets and you guys can preview it here:


Regards.

Her butt is seems way bigger than your character dick. Is Karen supposed to have giant booty?
Do you think so?

She's supposed to have the "instagram butt" here since she's arching herself across a table. The penis asset itself is one ported over since I'm too lazy to redraw penis after penis hah.

Hmm perhaps it's more on the exaggerated side, but my general understanding is the POV would make her lower half larger since it's technically in your face.

Everybody enjoys a nice big ass but what looks weird to me is that the penis is so small in comparison. It's like it's too far away or through a fish eye lens. Now I understand the MC is young and maybe not super endowed but I look at a POV video online and (depending on the man's girth and the width of the girl's ass) the ratio is something like 1/7 to 1/10. I'm just eyeballing how many dicks side by it would take to reach the edge of her ass. Look at a few POV videos of doggystyle and reverse cowgirl, purely for research purposes, and I think you'll see what I mean. It's still your art and I wouldn't say it's a priority, but think it would look a lot better scaled larger.

Oh how I regret not using Honey Select/Daz :FeelsBadMan:.

Thankfully the textures and deformers for the penis is relatively independent (basically making the adjustment + compiling a new video would take 5-10m vs 30m+ if I were to work on--say the arm). I always thought the monster penis in a game like Superpowered was kinda silly, but scaling it 1.25x would probably look fine. Lemme see what I can do tonight.

Anyhow, thanks for the feedback as always.
