Joyplay works great, though you should be able to execute the android file on its own. It should then install the app. If it doesn't, please contact me so I can fix it.
Very cool update with lots of content both in terms of story and action. The fights are challenging but not unsurmountable with a bit of practice. Art is always excellent. You manage to give us a couple of cliffhangers as well as some resolution to some storyline.
Since the last few chapters were more on rails, do you plan to return to a sandbox style gameplay in the next chapter with several leads to follow?
Hi, should be available either at Esmeralda or directly from the button on the main menu. If it's not reachable, please contact me again and I will look into it.
Starting points currently are "From the start", "Start of act2" and "Latest update". I plan to add a "Start of act3" on the next update then, but no further starting points in between, as they are quite hard to make 😅
Hi, Patreon version normally has roughly 2 weeks early access. But just today we're releasing the current version to the public, so can download it right here. Of course supporting Indie Devs over Patreon is always the right choice anyway 😉
Started playing this today. Enjoying it very much. The only thing I’m confused with is what each stat does regarding Gina’s personality. To clarify, does the stat kindness and the other three have any benefit from increasing? If anyone knows, that would be great!
Hi, quick overview over secondary stats in the current version:
- Kindness: Changes tone of Gina's dialogue to be more kind and increases income from the trainer job at the dojo. You need at least 8 kindness to even get recruited by Jade and receive income at all.
- Assertiveness: Changes tone of Gina's dialogue to be more assertive and increases income from the bouncer job at the brothel. Once you reach 8 assertiveness, you can "convince" one of your friends to train with you, even if they wouldn't be available normally (only once per week)
- Motivation: Every 5 points of motivation Gina becomes an increased flat strength gained from the next training
-Composure: Increases Gina's effectiveness to command her allies in combat, giving a chance to reduce the command-cooldowns by 1 each turn
Apart from that, social stats are sometimes used as triggers by certain events, unlocking different dialogue options or bonuses. We plan to make more events and bonuses in the future to make those choices even more important. Hope this answers it well enough 😁
Sorry one last thing. Is there any way for me to "reset" my stats with certain characters as platonic vs romantic? Or what happens if you set multiple characters as "romantic?" Will there be options to make this more flexible in future updates so we can mess around with different character routes more easily and it's more time efficient to do?
Don't think you can "reset" your romance status, but we are only really getting into romance in the next updates. So our approach isn't set in stone yet
Do you eventually have plans to add height and weight statistics for Mike, Enzi, Jonathan, and Philipp? As well as Catherine, Albert, Susan, and the Executioner? You listed all their strength levels but no height and weight.
I selected to use the metric system at the beginning so idk if it's only implemented for the imperial system or it's not in either.
Also holy cow, lvl 1 Aline is super tall at 180 cm. I'm 182 cm.
Hey. Long time no see. I took a break from playing this and recently downloaded the latest update. I have some feedback if you're willing to read through all this.
If you could answer my questions in parts 2, 3, and 4 that would be so helpful.
1) Looking at the new images in the update, they look great. Especially the glasses girl's growth sequence. Was that Susan the little sister getting revenge on her older brother Albert for stealing credit for her research? And then she's a boss you battle? I think this is only the 3rd major boss in the game so far? Awesome.
Also Gina's stage 5 transformation images are actually so much better than her old transformation stage images as you can really see the blow up in mass so clearly and the tightening clothing. Huge improvement there.
2) I still feel that the scale of some of your images is a little off. I know you can only do so much with AI art but in some panels, Stella looks way smaller than Jade (like when Stella is carrying Jade" and in other panels Jade looks way smaller than Stella like at the Breakfast table.
The canon size order at the moment is supposed to be Stella = lvl 5 Gina -->Akari --> Post Lab Jade--> Aline at the moment right? In the future, if you could put some images where they're all more or less next to each other it could help with the perspective.
3) I know this may not be popular among your general audience but there are some bisexual fans of your work out there who also enjoy seeing Male Muscle growth sequences in addition to the FMG in games. While FMG remains the primary fetish, I think the occasional male TF would be nice in terms of some of your boss fights maybe, or one of the main male characters (possibly an antagonist) undergoing some muscle growth sequence.
Maybe in a future update you could include a Boss fight with a serum powered Albert (Susan's brother I believe?) who undergoes his own muscle growth sequence? That would be awesome. Or a Male Boss who takes muscle growth serum and gets his own sequence at a later stage in the story.
4) Also, one last thing, I am constant replying the game with each update and my old save files throw an error each time. I tried skipping ahead but I left off at the end of Xici's lab the last time I played and it's taking a while to get back there. It would be great if you could introduce a feature for us to skip through more arcs, as I have to replay a lot of the game I already played wth every update. Right now I can only skip to "rivals." If there is a future feature to modularly view a certain arc via a drop down list just so I can quickly review the new content, that would be awesome.
Hello, recently I have been searching for FMG games on itch, but unfortunately there are not many available. Moreover, many FMG games are either unfinished or abandoned halfway through production. So I admire your perseverance, and besides, my friends and I all hope that girls can grow bigger. Oh, speaking of which, have you played a game called StrongGirls? It's as well made as yours, and I really like the art style of this game. However, all the characters in it use drugs to increase their muscles. Nevertheless, his plot and portrayal of girls' crazy muscles still fascinate me. I really want to see girls' muscles grow so much. If I have disrupted your production ideas, I apologize for omitting my proposal (I am truly sorry).
Still not through with all the games available for free 😅I know StrongGirls and like their art-style too, but I always preferred the projects that make their content freely available to the community at some point.
Free is always good. I'm still very thankful to my Patreons though. I really hope that those well off will support the project freely even without the "need" to pay, but we can still provide the game free for those who can't afford it. And I'm a Patreon at a few others FMG games too, but mostly on those that are "free".
Also, I have been researching renpy recently and I would like to translate it myself. Is that okay? My other friends who enjoy muscle girl games are always blocked by translation. I promise not to use it for profit, after all, this is your hard work.
If you refuse, I will immediately stop it, I promise.
No, if you are able to properly translate it, I'd rather want it integrated in the base game too. I'm sadly super busy the next week, but if you're interested I'd love to feature your translated version as part of the game right here on itch. So, maybe we could talk over Discord or even here, so we could maybe merge your effort with ours? I would then credit you of course ingame?
I'm glad to hear your reply, but unfortunately I'm still a beginner in the Renpy and I don't have any experience in this area, so I may spend about a month learning it. Of course, I really hope my name can appear in this game, but for now, I can only continue learning. Anyway, your response always inspires me
Take a the time you need. If you get a working translation going, I'd be ecstatic to implement your translation into the game. So please contact me again if you do.
Hi, hope this isn't misleading 😅 Raid is really not supposed to be beat this update. All the important events can happen in column 1 or 2, so pushing beyond that is really just trying to see how far one can get. We will add more events over time, so pushing farther makes sense in the next update (but then Gina might also be a bit stronger or have more help)
Sorry if this question was already answered, but how do you complete helping stella grow? I already sended mike and learned the second special technique, but i can't scroll in the hint section for what i have to do next
Hi, you probably miss the end of the Aline/Jade story. You need to have seen the two training sequences between Alina and Jade. They should trigger through exploration
I can't wait to try the new content, the update is really great, especially Gina's muscle growth, if she can grow more in the future, it will be even better, thank you so much for your efforts all the time, here I want to make a small suggestion, I hope Gina's muscles can dominate, a higher level than the other two. After all, I got into the game for Gina's growth in the first place and look forward to your next update.
Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it and I'm happy you liked it. For your suggestion: In the future the girls that had their story-related growth can gather "strength" by training alongside Gina, side-quests or passively. But if it all works like I intend it, then the players should have some options on which girls to grow first (though Gina will probably remain the strongest, can't have her get overtaken again like back then with Stella 😅)
Hi, hope you found the difficulty settings we implemented (both on "new game" and in the "settings".
We have the regular difficulty as before, for those who want to read into the mechanics and face a challenge, but we also added an easy-mode that reduces enemy damage by 50% for a relaxed playthrough for those only interested in the story.
Im stuck at the recruiting Jade bit. She is legit at the gym and enzo made her join but it still wont let me progress. What do I do? Games amazing btw.
Great update. After playing version 4.2.3, this update made me feel like I had changed to a different game. After experiencing it, I felt great. I can't wait to see the plot and Gina's LV5, and I still have some questions
Firstly, the difficulty of the battle is a bit too high. I have to use a lot of potions and repeatedly read files to win. I hope the next update of the boss battle can be simpler. My friends and I have complained about the difficulty of the game more than once.
Secondly, can our little Gina reach his brother's LV7? It's better to be as strong as the bodyguard who followed Xici to charge Gina before. I really like those muscles.
Finally, I hope your team can continue to update this game. As long as you update, I will always support you and wish you a wonderful day
Oh,There is one more thing, the new version instinctively cannot stop losing the previous save. Although I can play the plot again, I still want my save more
Yeah, Renpy and handling a lot of changing variables ain't too great. It can be done and by now I have an idea on how to handle it, but that will require me to rewrite large chunks of code (which I plan to do once I finished the next update). Hopefully this makes save-game compatibility more easy to achieve, but even if not we'll have another alternative starting-point with the start of act 3.
The story arcs really had a different feel to the open world, but I kinda liked making both 😅
Difficulty is meant to be a bit challenging, but I introduced a Difficulty setting by now. At game start and in the options-menu you can now change the difficulty, even midgame of you have troubles with payments or a certain boss.
And of course "little Gina" should be able to reach and surpass her bro one day. How else will she fight the executioner if she can't even get stronger than Greg? 😁
Wish you a nice day too and don't ya worry. Making this game is super fun. Me and my lovely team have no intention of leaving this unfinished.
Hi, so I beat the Greatarm bros, but instead of getting the pills, it said something along the lines of "Pills will be added in next update", and whenever I beat them again, it just says that there are no enemies and that Gina takes a breather. I see that other people have preogressed the questline with the pills, so I'm wondering if mine is just bugged or if im missing something. Plz help
Ok, I wanna help find this damn bug and end it once and for all (since I already tried fixing it twice and thought I had it... TWICE 😥). But it is kind of a rare bug I wasn't able to replicate yet, so it's really hard to fix 😣
Ok, first things first... you're playing the version 0.5.6?
So if you fight them, there should be nothing possible to miss. They should always drop the pills on their first defeat. You don't have a save-game per chance before you fought them, so I could check which line it jumps to exactly?
EDIT: I think I found the bug!!! New version will be compiled soon. But you can post a save-game at the Discord and maybe I could fix the save-game there.
So I just finished playing through everything up to the cut off, and I'm starting to understand the appeal to visual novels.
Really love your work, and I know it's kinda weird to say this, I hope the next update resets my save cause I want to find everything I missed and do everything even better
For people that want to skip ahead (but I don't know of any good reason), you can choose to skip unseen text in the options and then press CTRL to zip through the dialogues.
Please Don the raid mission is way too difficult I need more potions or a revive I can’t do 5x3 fights in a row!! And which fight is the giant arms is it even a guaranteed find??
Hi, Raid is not supposed to be completed yet 😔 You really don't need to push further than the second column for now as no further events are written. Giantarm-Bros are the Dudes with the ripped suits and the should always have a guaranteed spawn on row 1 unless you beat them once. I will add a mark to show that those are mandatory soon, so there won't be any confusion in the future.
But great you have experience in the raid now 😅This will help you greatly in the future as more events will be added. (Well, of course by then you have one girl more as a fighter, making this a lot easier)
Hi, I can only invite you over to my Discord. We have a small, but very skilled community making AI images over there and lots of people like to help (me included). I use primarily SD-Forge, but others have even more advanced tech by now. Artefact cleaning is mostly done over inpaint or Photoshop.
Sorry 😓There was a bug possibly preventing the players to clear them. Should be fixed in the new version though. But just to be sure. Those are the guys in question:
Trying to make heads from toes here. So you found them, you got the story-scene where they transformed, then you beat them and then what happened? Did the story scene of their defeat not load?
And of course, are you using the 0.5.6 version with the bug-fix for them?
I didn't find them. I've fought their spawn 10-11 times, but they didn't spawn. Idk if i didn't trigger Mike dialogue, but everytime i try he doesn't have any new
"after the current enemies defeated, gina takes a breather"
i'm in 0.5.6 yes
Loading and old save it put me the first dialogue where it says "Those guy are tough, imagine a fighter ...."
but then, nothing, no pills
If you could give me a save file right after you got the pills would be nice, so i can continue the story
Nah, if you have access to the raid, then Mike is no longer relevant. Let me check the triggers for the fight again
EDIT: I think I found the bug!!! New version will be compiled soon. But you can post a save-game at the Discord and maybe I could fix the save-game there too.
Hi, for the Ricther mission, i found the floppy, but when i investigate on it in the bureau the angel and the devil stops me, talking about the not finished quests. Ok, But Jade's quest could be end with ricther's one right? The others what matters to the story? I cannot continue or i must attend next update?
Mhm.. you should be able to continue... You need Jade progress 3/4 and all other quests completed. Can you tell me what's missing so I can figure out if it's a bug or not
The_Don gm, this update is great, but I can’t Find Dr Richer: in guide I need to defeat giantarm bros. but I already did that, at street of rage I can play only at alleys. Pls help :)
Hi, Bros are at the alley. Icon with guys flexing out of their suit. There was a bug in the old version though, that could prevent their spawn if rng lines up badly. Should be fixed in the 0.5.6 though
Very good update, but unfortunately I did not see Gina's muscle growth again, can I ask if the follow-up plot can make Gina stronger? I like her very much
Sorry, Gina Lvl 5 will be part of the next update hopefully releasing at the end of June. You didn't miss anything yet 😅 And thanks for the kind words. That really makes my day :D
Will the next update release soon? I want to try to beat the first boss in Streets of Rage, but I lose every time, I'd need another update to at least try to beat him. And if I can't beat him, I can't progress the story and lose all the money and start all over
Make sure try to visit the dojo enough to get lv4 martial arts you can also buy more than one healing potion in the shop in the mall and it helps tremendously, also buy the gladiator dream in the brothel to level up defense and buy items in the shop you come across in the exploring activity. There’s also a way to get a 3rd partner who works as a healing super move but I don’t remember where it’s acquired from exactly should be one of those things listed before.
The next one to die without regrets! This is slowly getting worrisome. 😅
Thanks for the kind words. I feel like it's a chaotic game though, but that's how I like it. The comparison with Yakuza is kinda funny. It was made in the past already and it is a pretty high praise, being compared to those games (only played two of them, but loved those).
First, your game has a very neat UI. This is more important than anything else, as difficult-to-use menus can cause the most frustration for players. Your game feels so good.
Manage limited resources within a set schedule, Deciding what you want to do each day is very interesting. Thanks to hints and guides, it's easy to understand what to do next and never have to stop. In addition, there are many events that occur during exploration and conversation. Side quests are fun.
I love the mafia, so I'm happy every time a nice enemy appears.
This is a very good game. I can't wait to see the latest chapters. How long does it need to be updated? By the way, can the author add a Chinese translation patch? My other Chinese friends and I really like this game.
Hi, next update should be in a few weeks. I report my progress over Patreon or Discord regularly.
Translations are on our to do list. I was asked for German and Russian translations a few times already. As soon as we got the appropriate functions of Renpy figured out, I'll add different languages too. For the next weeks pushing out the update is the priority though. 😅
Will still take a few weeks probably. Content is mostly about Gina this time, but at least at the end of it, the split story arcs are completed and we get our girls back together.
First of all, let me congratulate you, the images are very beautiful, and I love the script, I like the "FMG" games where the content happens easily and if it has a story I can ignore it and through trial and error I do that shows the FMG content and when I have to pay attention to the dialogue so that it goes through the scenes because it requires something specific, I uninstall it since I don't know almost any English but with this I download a program that can translate the texts and 90% and such Once again I manage to translate it enough to understand what I have to do and the story, I love all the characters, especially the main ones, each one contributes something, I'm sure if I had a lot of money I would give it to you to hire a translator XD but In any case, I will be attentive to the next update, because you left it in the most interesting part, I am eager to know if they will achieve it or not.
Greetings. I encountered a problem with the quest queue. To reach the next level, I need to help Stella and Jade to grow and defeat the second boss on streets of rage. However, I can't seem to find the quest queue for either of those quests: I don't get presented with options to interact with Stella anymore (Each time I go to the brothel, Catherine intervenes before I can talk with Stella) and the only interaction option with Jade is training at the dojo. Streets of Rage is not an option, as Stella is not available as co-fighter. I seem to be stuck. What can I do? Tx for the help win advance.
Hi, common problem. Gonna update the questlog in the next update to make this clearer.
Before Stella's quest continues both the Jade and Aline events need to be cleared. You need the Ginspey Roll (learned at the dojo) and you need to have seen both Aline/Jade training events (training with Aline, then 2x exploration).
HI, thanks for getting back at me. I will proceed accordingly. Thanks a lot for the help. I'm pretty much enjoying this narrative play. Keep it up, it's a great story

I downloaded the game but where do I go to play it btw I’m on mobile.
If you have an Android download Joyplay
Joyplay works great, though you should be able to execute the android file on its own. It should then install the app. If it doesn't, please contact me so I can fix it.

Keep it up!
Hi, thanks for the kind words.
Yes, next update will be open-world again. We always choose the style of story-telling we feel is most suited for the current arc.
I can't find the all-new otherworldly dream *Growing Love' by Lusia Shinra.Can you help me? Thank you very much, don .
Hi, should be available either at Esmeralda or directly from the button on the main menu. If it's not reachable, please contact me again and I will look into it.
Thank you, Don. I've found it.
Will you make a way to go to a specific chapter? Rn i have to start over again
Starting points currently are "From the start", "Start of act2" and "Latest update". I plan to add a "Start of act3" on the next update then, but no further starting points in between, as they are quite hard to make 😅
Hi Don, Is the version I can download here the latest version of the game? Or should I download it from Patreon? I'll follow your advice.
Hi, Patreon version normally has roughly 2 weeks early access. But just today we're releasing the current version to the public, so can download it right here.
Of course supporting Indie Devs over Patreon is always the right choice anyway 😉
Thanks Don, Our Don works so fast that it sometimes worries me. I should pay my taxes😯

Hi, quick overview over secondary stats in the current version:
- Kindness: Changes tone of Gina's dialogue to be more kind and increases income from the trainer job at the dojo. You need at least 8 kindness to even get recruited by Jade and receive income at all.
- Assertiveness: Changes tone of Gina's dialogue to be more assertive and increases income from the bouncer job at the brothel. Once you reach 8 assertiveness, you can "convince" one of your friends to train with you, even if they wouldn't be available normally (only once per week)

Do you eventually have plans to add height and weight statistics for Mike, Enzi, Jonathan, and Philipp? As well as Catherine, Albert, Susan, and the Executioner? You listed all their strength levels but no height and weight.
I selected to use the metric system at the beginning so idk if it's only implemented for the imperial system or it's not in either.
Also holy cow, lvl 1 Aline is super tall at 180 cm. I'm 182 cm.
Not yet, but we plan to. With our back-end data-restructure to character screen for the side cast will also get more detaile
Hey. Long time no see. I took a break from playing this and recently downloaded the latest update. I have some feedback if you're willing to read through all this.

Hey, saw your comment on the Patreon-Version first. Answered there, since that post contains spoilers to the current content.
Do we have a changelog for today's update?
There was an update today? 😲
Nah, pretty sure that's some kind of mistake. Next update is scheduled roughly in a week with the public launch
??
The Don;
Hello, recently I have been searching for FMG games on itch, but unfortunately there are not many available. Moreover, many FMG games are either unfinished or abandoned halfway through production.

Yes, free is always good, isn't it? That's also why I like your game. Looking forward to the surprises you bring us in the next update
:)
Free is always good. I'm still very thankful to my Patreons though. I really hope that those well off will support the project freely even without the "need" to pay, but we can still provide the game free for those who can't afford it.

I need help to beat the raid😭! They're just unfair😔😔😔
Thanks for your work, dude. U're cool (to The Don)
Who would have thought that I'm getting cool in my old days now? 🤣
Hi, hope this isn't misleading 😅 Raid is really not supposed to be beat this update. All the important events can happen in column 1 or 2, so pushing beyond that is really just trying to see how far one can get.
We will add more events over time, so pushing farther makes sense in the next update (but then Gina might also be a bit stronger or have more help)
Thanks for your answer.... (I worried that I couldn't beat 5'th line cause i had no enough heals)
If you're already at the 5th line, you're already well set for the next update 😅
Sorry if this question was already answered, but how do you complete helping stella grow? I already sended mike and learned the second special technique, but i can't scroll in the hint section for what i have to do next
Hi, you probably miss the end of the Aline/Jade story. You need to have seen the two training sequences between Alina and Jade. They should trigger through exploration
Yeah, i finded how to do it trought doing random things during the days
That's great. Your idea is wonderful. I love them.
I can't wait to try the new content, the update is really great, especially Gina's muscle growth, if she can grow more in the future, it will be even better, thank you so much for your efforts all the time, here I want to make a small suggestion, I hope Gina's muscles can dominate, a higher level than the other two.

Combat is still really hard and I had to stack on potions before beginning one... outside of that everything is still great!
Hi, hope you found the difficulty settings we implemented (both on "new game" and in the "settings".
We have the regular difficulty as before, for those who want to read into the mechanics and face a challenge, but we also added an easy-mode that reduces enemy damage by 50% for a relaxed playthrough for those only interested in the story.
Im stuck at the recruiting Jade bit. She is legit at the gym and enzo made her join but it still wont let me progress. What do I do? Games amazing btw.
Hi, this is a new one for me. Let's see if we can fix that.
So you can already train with Jade at the gym but her quest is not marked as completed?
Yeah she can be trained at the gym but her quest hasn't been marked as completed.
If you can send me a screenshot of the quest-log and and/or the save-game ideally, I could maybe find the bug. That would be much appreciated.
unfortunately I cant take a screenshot because none of my saves are working lol. Each one is just the start of the game. Dunno what to do abt it dude.
Mr. Don
Great update. After playing version 4.2.3, this update made me feel like I had changed to a different game. After experiencing it, I felt great. I can't wait to see the plot and Gina's LV5, and I still have some questions
Firstly, the difficulty of the battle is a bit too high. I have to use a lot of potions and repeatedly read files to win. I hope the next update of the boss battle can be simpler. My friends and I have complained about the difficulty of the game more than once.
Secondly, can our little Gina reach his brother's LV7? It's better to be as strong as the bodyguard who followed Xici to charge Gina before. I really like those muscles.
Finally, I hope your team can continue to update this game. As long as you update, I will always support you and wish you a wonderful day
Oh,There is one more thing, the new version instinctively cannot stop losing the previous save. Although I can play the plot again, I still want my save more
:)
Yeah, Renpy and handling a lot of changing variables ain't too great. It can be done and by now I have an idea on how to handle it, but that will require me to rewrite large chunks of code (which I plan to do once I finished the next update).
Hopefully this makes save-game compatibility more easy to achieve, but even if not we'll have another alternative starting-point with the start of act 3.
The story arcs really had a different feel to the open world, but I kinda liked making both 😅
Difficulty is meant to be a bit challenging, but I introduced a Difficulty setting by now. At game start and in the options-menu you can now change the difficulty, even midgame of you have troubles with payments or a certain boss.
And of course "little Gina" should be able to reach and surpass her bro one day. How else will she fight the executioner if she can't even get stronger than Greg? 😁
Wish you a nice day too and don't ya worry. Making this game is super fun. Me and my lovely team have no intention of leaving this unfinished.
Quick reply! I am very happy to see it happen, I can't wait to play the latest version
Great update! The map is a wonderful addition.
Quick question: is there a way to become a mage (learn magic) in this version?
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the kind words :D
Yes, you can learn the first spell in this version. You have to find the mafia mages at the Streets-Raid and return to the witch shop with their item.
Hi, so I beat the Greatarm bros, but instead of getting the pills, it said something along the lines of "Pills will be added in next update", and whenever I beat them again, it just says that there are no enemies and that Gina takes a breather. I see that other people have preogressed the questline with the pills, so I'm wondering if mine is just bugged or if im missing something. Plz help
Ok, I wanna help find this damn bug and end it once and for all (since I already tried fixing it twice and thought I had it... TWICE 😥). But it is kind of a rare bug I wasn't able to replicate yet, so it's really hard to fix 😣
Ok, first things first... you're playing the version 0.5.6?
So if you fight them, there should be nothing possible to miss. They should always drop the pills on their first defeat. You don't have a save-game per chance before you fought them, so I could check which line it jumps to exactly?
EDIT: I think I found the bug!!! New version will be compiled soon. But you can post a save-game at the Discord and maybe I could fix the save-game there.
Damn. Dogshit AI
So I just finished playing through everything up to the cut off, and I'm starting to understand the appeal to visual novels.
Really love your work, and I know it's kinda weird to say this, I hope the next update resets my save cause I want to find everything I missed and do everything even better
Finally someone who doesn't mind save resets 😁
Thanks for the kind words. That really makes my day.
For people that want to skip ahead (but I don't know of any good reason), you can choose to skip unseen text in the options and then press CTRL to zip through the dialogues.
Please Don the raid mission is way too difficult I need more potions or a revive I can’t do 5x3 fights in a row!! And which fight is the giant arms is it even a guaranteed find??
Hi, Raid is not supposed to be completed yet 😔
You really don't need to push further than the second column for now as no further events are written. Giantarm-Bros are the Dudes with the ripped suits and the should always have a guaranteed spawn on row 1 unless you beat them once.
I will add a mark to show that those are mandatory soon, so there won't be any confusion in the future.
But great you have experience in the raid now 😅This will help you greatly in the future as more events will be added. (Well, of course by then you have one girl more as a fighter, making this a lot easier)
What ai do you use to generate images and do you use some special commands to generate this amazing and accurate images without any artifacts?
Hi, I can only invite you over to my Discord. We have a small, but very skilled community making AI images over there and lots of people like to help (me included).
I use primarily SD-Forge, but others have even more advanced tech by now. Artefact cleaning is mostly done over inpaint or Photoshop.
I find it very hard to find the giantarms brothers :S
I've defeated the arms flexing guys like 10 times already
Sorry 😓There was a bug possibly preventing the players to clear them. Should be fixed in the new version though.
But just to be sure. Those are the guys in question:
yep, i did everything. Pretty much.
Even tried to summon Mike to see if it unlocked, sadly it doesn't
Trying to make heads from toes here. So you found them, you got the story-scene where they transformed, then you beat them and then what happened? Did the story scene of their defeat not load?
And of course, are you using the 0.5.6 version with the bug-fix for them?
I didn't find them. I've fought their spawn 10-11 times, but they didn't spawn. Idk if i didn't trigger Mike dialogue, but everytime i try he doesn't have any new
"after the current enemies defeated, gina takes a breather"
i'm in 0.5.6 yes
Loading and old save it put me the first dialogue where it says "Those guy are tough, imagine a fighter ...."
but then, nothing, no pills
If you could give me a save file right after you got the pills would be nice, so i can continue the story
Nah, if you have access to the raid, then Mike is no longer relevant. Let me check the triggers for the fight again
EDIT: I think I found the bug!!! New version will be compiled soon. But you can post a save-game at the Discord and maybe I could fix the save-game there too.
Why these quick updates?
Lots of bugs. The last update was one of the most complex ones in regard of the code used and it showed in the amount of bugs
Hi, for the Ricther mission, i found the floppy, but when i investigate on it in the bureau the angel and the devil stops me, talking about the not finished quests. Ok, But Jade's quest could be end with ricther's one right? The others what matters to the story? I cannot continue or i must attend next update?
Mhm.. you should be able to continue...
You need Jade progress 3/4 and all other quests completed. Can you tell me what's missing so I can figure out if it's a bug or not
Best FMG game ever :) Thank You for Your time and work! :)
Thanks :D Love to hear this and I'm doing this gladly.
I'm missing one piece for Jade's puzzle and three for Dr. Ritcher's. What do I do to complete them?
Jade last piece can only be found after all the Richter pieces are complete.
Once you have the pills from the Giantarm Bros deliver those to Catherine and Akari, then continue the quest-line at Akari agai
The_Don gm, this update is great, but I can’t Find Dr Richer: in guide I need to defeat giantarm bros. but I already did that, at street of rage I can play only at alleys. Pls help :)
Hi, Bros are at the alley. Icon with guys flexing out of their suit. There was a bug in the old version though, that could prevent their spawn if rng lines up badly. Should be fixed in the 0.5.6 though
Very good update, but unfortunately I did not see Gina's muscle growth again, can I ask if the follow-up plot can make Gina stronger? I like her very much
Sorry, Gina Lvl 5 will be part of the next update hopefully releasing at the end of June. You didn't miss anything yet 😅
And thanks for the kind words. That really makes my day :D
Will the next update release soon? I want to try to beat the first boss in Streets of Rage, but I lose every time, I'd need another update to at least try to beat him. And if I can't beat him, I can't progress the story and lose all the money and start all over
Hi, new update coming right up. Also we posted a little video guide on how to beat up the first boss on our Discord just today.
Make sure try to visit the dojo enough to get lv4 martial arts you can also buy more than one healing potion in the shop in the mall and it helps tremendously, also buy the gladiator dream in the brothel to level up defense and buy items in the shop you come across in the exploring activity. There’s also a way to get a 3rd partner who works as a healing super move but I don’t remember where it’s acquired from exactly should be one of those things listed before.
This game impressed me.
To be honest, when I saw the thumbnail, I mistakenly thought that another chaotic game had appeared in this world. It was completely different.
After a while of progressing through the story, I found myself screaming.
"That's unbelievable! This game is the latest "Yakuza" game!!"
I'm glad I was able to discover such a great game, and I'm sure I'll be able to die without any regrets.
The next one to die without regrets! This is slowly getting worrisome. 😅
Thanks for the kind words. I feel like it's a chaotic game though, but that's how I like it. The comparison with Yakuza is kinda funny. It was made in the past already and it is a pretty high praise, being compared to those games (only played two of them, but loved those).
First, your game has a very neat UI. This is more important than anything else, as difficult-to-use menus can cause the most frustration for players. Your game feels so good.
Manage limited resources within a set schedule, Deciding what you want to do each day is very interesting. Thanks to hints and guides, it's easy to understand what to do next and never have to stop. In addition, there are many events that occur during exploration and conversation. Side quests are fun.
I love the mafia, so I'm happy every time a nice enemy appears.
I wish you good luck in your work!
This game is pure perfection. I can die without regret now.
Don't die just yet! 😭 Not with the latest Update almost done! 😉
I will, brother. I joined your Patreon to keep up to date. Godspeed to you!
This is a very good game. I can't wait to see the latest chapters. How long does it need to be updated? By the way, can the author add a Chinese translation patch? My other Chinese friends and I really like this game.
Hi, next update should be in a few weeks. I report my progress over Patreon or Discord regularly.
Translations are on our to do list. I was asked for German and Russian translations a few times already. As soon as we got the appropriate functions of Renpy figured out, I'll add different languages too. For the next weeks pushing out the update is the priority though. 😅
Are we close to the next update? I really hope Jade makes an appearance since it’s been a while. Keep up the good work!
Will still take a few weeks probably. Content is mostly about Gina this time, but at least at the end of it, the split story arcs are completed and we get our girls back together.
First of all, let me congratulate you, the images are very beautiful, and I love the script, I like the "FMG" games where the content happens easily and if it has a story I can ignore it and through trial and error I do that shows the FMG content and when I have to pay attention to the dialogue so that it goes through the scenes because it requires something specific, I uninstall it since I don't know almost any English but with this I download a program that can translate the texts and 90% and such Once again I manage to translate it enough to understand what I have to do and the story, I love all the characters, especially the main ones, each one contributes something, I'm sure if I had a lot of money I would give it to you to hire a translator XD but In any case, I will be attentive to the next update, because you left it in the most interesting part, I am eager to know if they will achieve it or not.
Greetings.
I encountered a problem with the quest queue. To reach the next level, I need to help Stella and Jade to grow and defeat the second boss on streets of rage. However, I can't seem to find the quest queue for either of those quests: I don't get presented with options to interact with Stella anymore (Each time I go to the brothel, Catherine intervenes before I can talk with Stella) and the only interaction option with Jade is training at the dojo. Streets of Rage is not an option, as Stella is not available as co-fighter. I seem to be stuck. What can I do?
Tx for the help win advance.
Hi, common problem. Gonna update the questlog in the next update to make this clearer.
Before Stella's quest continues both the Jade and Aline events need to be cleared. You need the Ginspey Roll (learned at the dojo) and you need to have seen both Aline/Jade training events (training with Aline, then 2x exploration).
HI, thanks for getting back at me. I will proceed accordingly. Thanks a lot for the help. I'm pretty much enjoying this narrative play. Keep it up, it's a great story
