@livegoeson4 How are we supposed to know the actual content if its behind a paywall. Besides, what if we donât like the game and wasted all that money for it
Itâs called supporting the developer. Most games on this site of this complexity have a paywall.

Do you play games outside of the fetish? Or only buy or support games that only have a demo to play? To me you make an informed decision based on the information about the game, teasers, and personal interests and tastes. All of which are in this thread. If the games not good after supporting then donât do it again. If your worried about wasting money, then I guess wait for a free demo.
This version was put out for supporters and it happens to be the first and only playable version released it wouldnât really make sense (from a support standpoint) to toss this out for free when there have been people giving support to the game and dev for months. Guess youâll have to wait worst case of you have concerns about the game from there.

The content wouldnât be created if no one was supporting it lol. Also, you get what you pay for. Nothing. If you canât afford $6 to try the game knowing what the quality already is via picture samples, you should probably just keep your head down next time.

As a patron of theirs, While I see the logic of this statement, I think that this is a good example of the images you have give you a great image of what youâll actually get, If it didnât, Iâd be on your side (As plenty of games, within and outside the community, have no right charging money for what they offer currently). Not gonna dickride the practice, but gonna say that this one is definitely a âget your moneyâs worthâ scenario, at least for me so far.

@livegoeson4 I had some time to finish playing through for Princess Yixing that I had not met within my normal playthrough. (As I was not originally aware I missed her.)
Version 0.1.4 bug report, errors, feedback, etc, continued. Yixing route specifically
-
Princess Yixingâs sprite is missing after the intro event when you go to interact with her in her room. Specifically when she greets you asking what you want to do.
-
If you give Yixing a pie, Aryaâs name (when given pie) is used for Yixing. The first line of dialogue is exactly the same. And then the next sentence is different.
Iâm not quite sure how she is unlocked Iâm guessing 100 in a specific stat. I had 100 military, 60 opinion, and 50 political power at the time. But I did not unlock her this normally through normal gameplay. With some throne room events having negative impacts on different stats and gold being such a necessity I often took more of a balanced approach. And having no clear goal of what the stats should be at keeping things maintained vs focusing hard in one and letting others drop. I never attained her unlock through normal gameplay.
Because of this I think she is quite easily missed and Iâm not personally a fan of having girls unlocked being gated through stats at the moment. Maybe after enacting your first law the throne room event can trigger to unlock her. Or lowering the requirement on her unlock.
-
Giving Yixing a muffin uses Aryaâs name with slightly different dialogue to Aryaâs but still says a muffin is her favorite. (I originally thought it used Aryaâs dialogue here but they are different only slightly.)
-
The same with giving a cupcake to Yixing says Arya but has dialogue that is not Aryaâs. In this case I think itâs just has Aryaâs name used while she is talking.
-
When talking to Yixing about her fantasy of living in Palace with an Emperor or King. Itâs not clear which dialogue option is the âcorrectâ choice (as it is later when food is introduced to the scene). Since she is such a bratty spoiled princess the dialogue between both doesnât really feel like one choice is better than the other to the player. This is for the (first?) stage. When I first encountered this event it only triggered after her first weight gain stage. Iâm not sure if the trigger for this is event is off. It might be thought considering as I was working my way towards her second weight event eventually her dialogue for the event changed to introduce getting food (this is within the same first weight gain stage.) This seems like the dialogue updated on a few events before she had the visual and weight gain event to introduce to a new size.
-
Dialogue differently updated for other talk events with no weight gain stage or visual change. This happened around the last 3 to 4 times she was able to be fed within weight gain stage one without the next weight stage triggering.
-
The word ârectangularyâ gets used in place of reluctantly in three spots (so far) I will include screen shots of it.
-
A lot of her dialogue through her later stages are mostly the same and doesnât really change.
-
I like her character and the change she goes through but she could use some more dialogue accompanying her change in behavior and what she is doing/feels about weight gain between her weight stage events. As I love the events, even thought I agree with @vrazz they could probably stand from being a bit longer as a few of them for any of the girls cut out a bit early. The weight stage (three?) event where it ends in her being taking out to dinner by the sultan after she learns he likes her and her new weight. But the dinner is just indicated through text.
-
During her route this might be less relevant as more content is added but since she is a bottom heavy gainer. It would be nice to see more of her lower half during scenes. Or shots of her stomach stuffed. While sheâs eating there dialogue that indicates within a few events that she is having her clothes tighten or getting stuffed as she continues eating but we canât see anything as she is siting down.
Just wanted to chime in with some errors and feedback about Yixing since I had missed her originally. Definitely loving what is here so far and I look forward to seeing it get more refined and filled in as development continues.

Itâs a bit of a misnomer to say the files are scrambled. Technically the .rpyc files that no human can read is how renâpy ALWAYS works. Itâs just that many/most devs also include the .rpy source code files (at least in the .rpa archive)
When a renâpy game launches it checks to see if there is a loose .rpy file and if there is it supercedes the .rpyc file. the c in rpyc is for âcompiledâ
TLDR: Yeah, devs can make it harder to obtain their code, although for a project this early, IMO, itâs usually better to let people with the know how submit bug fixes for you.

Iv e finally got the time and finished it, and heres my thought
-
First of all, TheLustLordâs design on the women is fantastic especially the âcurvesâ
-
I like the idea of governing your own kingdom, its a bit short but sweet
-
Ive notice some spelling errors and the name in the game is replaced with âXâ in the dialogues
Overall, its an enjoyable game and i do hope you keep developing it in the near future, especially with Eyana and AryaâŚ

What an honor to have you play my game - I really loved QoC and played it many times. I guess the sister part can be a little deceiving⌠I originally wanted to make it clearer that being a little bigger is part of the prevailing ideal of beauty around that time - which it actually was. But I will work on that)
Thanks again for the in-depth review of one of the chars. Itâs been really really helpful - next time around I would love to have you as one of the testers before I release the next version, you already found more than all of the last testers combined xD
Thanks for the review! I will expand on the kingdom part for sure and add elements and depth to the story. And since many wrote that they enjoyed Eyana so much she´ll get a little more sophisticated role in the game as well.)

Played the game, rewatched a handful of its sequences and I have to say, it has a pretty good foundation so far. The characters are easily differentiated from each other in terms of their personalities, looks and most importantly the way they get fluffy overtime. I especially like how Arya and Yixing weight distribution changed overtime with Yixingâs dress only managing to âhideâ her growth till her 4th stage and Arya already looking more curvier by her 2nd scene. I did find it a bit amusing though Yixing doesnât wear any undergarments and yet you, the sultan, never seem to notice/acknowledge it even as she ârevealsâ her growing potbelly. Perhaps when you get around expanding the stuff in the game like the dating mechanics, perhaps you could IDK explore/comment on more of their quirks i.e. Yixing lack of undergarments. Aside from that, out of curiosity, from the teasers you posted here and on your patreon, will you A. allow for alternate outfits and B. add in those scenes/dialogue in the game as apart of the âdatingâ aspect or were those later scrapped/changed? And two last suggestions, since this a first iteration, perhaps you could add a scene or even have a new character go through a bit a wardrobe malfunction in which the outfit they were wore initially rips right in front of you and I know you earlier mentioned the complicated logistics behind a harem stuffing scene however perhaps one way you could rectify that is to have the game soft lock the gameâs overall progress until the player has made certain/all of the woman reach a specific lvl though this could torpedo possibly ambitions regarding different endings if thatâs something you have in mind. Regardless, keep up the good work and Iâll eagerly await for the new update.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to come back to you and tell you that development for Version 0.2 is already progressing. I look forward to introducing another character to the game, reworking some of the already-implemented game mechanics, and add some other stuff.
But here is also some more character art for those who are interested:
Until then,
Live

You donât. It was a version that was released for patreons supporters. Youâll just have to wait if you donât want to/canât support the dev.
