Hero Corruption v0.95 Released!

Vincent

I understand the purpose, but think it would be nice if the score-limit for the tavern was increased slightly. Not a big deal though. Or, as GH suggests, increasing the difficulty etc. as the hero gains more score, could be interesting. Perhaps an "ambush" event or similar could appear at some point.

Tbh I couldn't find any event that skips 2 hours instead of 1, but now you should be able to access the Main Hall appointment anytime after 18:00. I'll keep looking for the said event, thx for reporting it

Vincent

Possibly a bug: In the church event, the current time says: Day: 1, Hour: 73 It seems that the event doesn't progress to day 2. I had an event at "Hour: 17" which returned me at "Hour: 19". I assume I was supposed to be in the main hall at 18:00, but clearly missed that appointment. Not sure if that is related.

The reason why I removed jobs after a certain score is to prevent more "snowballing". If the player has a Score higher than 80 the run is doing pretty good, and with the addition of discounts it tends to become even easier. Jobs are a way to get gold without taking risks, very important to solve the "lack of comebacks" present in previous versions, but when the player has such a high Score, he should be able to defeat enemies and collect gold without much effort. However, I understand what you mean, it may seem like a punishment to remove mechanics from players who are doing well, but the main reason is to keep the challenge present at all stages of the game. The alternative you suggested is awesome, but it may take a few versions before I can implement it.

I'm not really a fan of removing access to the jobs. It feels like we're just losing access to content without getting anything in return; it almost feels like we're being punished for doing well in the game. At the least I think the score cutoff should be higher so you get more time to play with it (I think I lost access around day 7-8, after using it 2-3 times). A better alternative might be to try and build on the job system later in the game, rather than removing it entirely. Maybe some jobs could be harder than others, and a higher score unlocks those harder jobs. Story-wise, you could frame it as your reputation attracting people wanting to challenge you, or the tavern trusting you to handle hard-to-please clients. I think this would be a more natural evolution of the system.

If I have more than 100 Gold, I definitely have to repay the full 100 and get a game over when I take too long. If I have less than 100, I think what I did have got subtracted from the debt outstanding.

Diogaoo

I've been trying to replicate this for a few minutes now and sadly I wasn't able to How much is your debt when the event begins?

Sorry, I still don't follow. When I went in with >100 gold, I still got told I needed to pay off my debt. I kind of worked out the garden Vs corridor risk reward balance, but Resting just seemed like a way of counting down the timer while making no progress on the debt. In the end, even though I went in with way more than 100 gold, I still got a game over for not paying the debt back soon enough.

Diogaoo

To face Kira you need to win an encounter against the enemy whose ghost appeared ( not the ghost, the girl itself ). After that, go back to the Dark Woods and you should be able to enter the cabin.

Verbal39

How do I find kira? I thought I defeated all the girls that were in the darks woods. Although I could never figure out the ghost and the cabins that would always push me out

Diogaoo

Hi Verbal, actually the map is divided in four pieces, one for each area: Forest: Sandy & Wendy Deep Forest: Helen Swamp: Sophie Dark Woods: Kira Gather all four pieces and inspect the map at your bag

Diogaoo

Hey Bobby, if you're having trouble finding gold in time you should be walking inside the church. The garden provides a low risk, low reward option The corridor is a high risk, high reward And the "rest" option is the safe option, nothing happens while you're resting. Even if you have >100 gold you still have to survive for three days, in that case, I'd recommend you to rest all the time until the end of the third day

Verbal39

How do I get to the castle?I’ve unlocked three pieces for the map from the mini bases but can’t get a clue on the next part of the map

Is the church event actually beatable? I never find enough gold and, even when I start it with >100 gold and they explicitly tell me they've taken the gold already, I still have to repay the debt.

Dara Yang

I just figured how to beat Chloe. This time will try to find that ending

Diogaoo

It's Chloe !

Dara Yang

Anyone know what is the new bad ending besides the one in church?

LK

The captured in a net event in the forest is a little over the top. Typically steals a whole day and happens an awful lot.

Diogaoo

Fixed !

SG

Minor thing: Amy isn't listed in the codex in the enemies section.

Diogaoo

The more times you go to church, the greater the chance of this event occurring Petri. Also, the corruption check will get harder too. I just removed a few dialogs and changed others so it doesn't get so repetitive

Diogaoo

Fixed! They should appear more often now

Petri

Church asking way too many times you want drink this.. 99% of the Time when you use church.

FangtheFencer

Am I just unlucky or is anyone else not being able to get the new Deep Forest: Fairy and Swamp: Dark Priestess events? I've gone to both locations a ton and I haven't got them to pop up. The new enemies and the church event show up just fine though

Diogaoo

Fixed !

GH

Bug: stunned Amy and got sent to Mia
