Changelog:

V0.5

Changes to the shop. The shop should now offer a lot more items for sale. Items generated are rerolled a couple of times, to help find items that the player can buy. This does not guarantee that all items will be purchasable, just that they are more likely. In the beginning, many items will still seem locked out, but this should reduce over the playthrough. A red X also marks items that you cannot buy or equip, to help spot them easier.
Increased coin rewards from combat by about 30%.
New outfits: Added 6 new outfits, with 6 pieces to each. Also added 6 new bra and panty sets, with 6 color variations, each. That’s over 100 new outfit pieces!
Added 15 new H scenes, 5 for each of the important NPCs.
Expanded on the outfit lewdness mechanic. Outfit pieces have a lewdness level. The main character will refuse to wear outfits that she is not comfortable with. However, her tolerance for outfits will change as her relationship level increases with the NPCs.
General text and UI improvements.
Minor bug fixes.

V0.4i

Reverted the shop system to what it was in version 0.3. This means that each game day, all the old items will be replaced by new items. However, the shop will have more or less items for sale, based on the difficulty level.

V0.4h:

30 new outfit pieces; adventurer’s outfit, hunter’s outfit, raider’s outfit, strapless bras, and thongs.
15 new scenes; 5 phase 2 scenes for Arena Master, Merchant and Combat Trainer each.
New ending system. Now the game never ends on it’s own. You can end the game from your room.
New Difficulty System (Easy, Medium, Hard)
Lots of changes to the UI.
Erotic Scene number displays before a scene plays. Erotic Scenes now also have a skip button.
New Settings options, including size of text.
Added Music and Sound Effects.
Added adjustments to equipment prices and game balance.
Added a dedicated Credits Screen.

V0.3:

Added main character training. The main character can now train during the day to gain permanent bonuses.
Added opponent training. Higher ranking opponents can have powerful skills that enhance particular stats or help them counter certain styles. This can be found out before the fight occurs and worked around by the main character.
Added 5 new scenes for a new character, The Combat Trainer.
Added a Help section. This can be found in your room. It explains many of the stats and mechanics in the game.
Item crafting now gives 3 unique upgrade options. Duplicates will no longer occur.
Added note to meeting Arena Master at night, stating that visiting him again will give you a bonus against the next opponent.
Fixes and improvements to language (spelling, articulation, colors, etc).

V0.2:

Many adjustments to price. This can be further modified later.
- Light armour is cheaper, and heavy armour is much cheaper.
- End game items should be much cheaper.
- Large armour parts (pants, skirts, chest) are a bit cheaper.
Outfit sets have a bit more stat variation. For example, slave clothes items provide less protection but also cost less than typical clothing. However, this will not be too noticeable, as there are only 1 variation for each outfit class (cloth, light and heavy).
Added crafting. You can now enhance your items with the Merchant’s help.
Added 5 new scenes for the merchant.
Added descriptions for the Arena Master and the Merchant.
Change the Main Menu screen and Character screen to be more convenient.
Improved the story delivery system. You can now go back and forth.
- You can use the arrow keys and Enter to do the same.
Slowed down the gameplay. You need to now fight more enemies of a lower level to start seeing higher level enemies. This should give you more time to get better equipment.

V0.1:

Play the game to the ending.
Fight battles.
Buy, sell and equip weapons and armour.
View your combat stats, and also sexual history.
Talk to the Arena Master to get information on your next opponent.

Developer’s Notes:

This game uses Ironwoman / Rogue-Like mode. This means the game auto-saves, and you cannot save and reload. Once your character dies, the save is deleted, but the character is recorded into the archive.
The erotic stories are text-only. The character and outfits are drawn. We just don’t have the budget to draw or animate the stories or opponents. Also, given all the different combinations of outfits and other planned stuff, it’s probably best to leave it text-only.
The game uses a lot of RNG. While I use RNG to make the game more varied and exciting, I also want to make it fair and balanced. If you feel a gameplay mechanic is too unfair, let me know, and I’ll review it.
I’m aiming to make this more gameplay focused. I like games like Dungeons and Dragons, Dark Souls and Diablo. I don’t have the manpower or technical expertise to make something as grand, but I hope to use influences from such games to make something that’s still fun. Hopefully we achieved that!
