we NEED to be able to crack the dragon and traitor
Can we have fun with traitor? I need that maw of his..
This is honestly such a fun game, great work! (Cant wait for the next part of the plant storyline '3' )
I love the game, and am having a great time, I cant wait to see how the story continues. But I did notice that the first level of the binding rune you can put on the Sage looks similar to a marking on the Den Boss and was wondering if that was a coincidence or not?
Seem like all wolfs have it, the more powerful they become, pack leader and rookie have it too.
Very good progress and end of chapter 1, can't wait to see more!
in prior updates I was able to advance "wolven begginings" without issue, but this time it seems it got bugged or something and I just can never find the schematics
maybe cause I got to the point were the wolf boss is always at the hot springs?
So first of all, i super like the game, the combat is really interesting for a game like this, and the artstyle is amazing~. However ive also been running into the softlock when you try to leave camp. I was testing and it seems to happen when hunter hits lvl 5??? i'm not sure why. I just figured i should comment even though i usually don't. I'm playing on 0.4.0 too.
theres some sort of softlock bug related to the early game that's hitting a small percentage of players. it might be related to beating the big wolf dude in the prologue early before setting up camp, resting at the campfire, getting a vision from Traitor, and then going to visit Traitor in the ancient woods.
Android version?
I'm stuck with the riddle in library. It is seems broken.
I love the game, the stories, and the combat pretty much everything involved even the MC not needing to be involved in every scene (although I really like theirs, as I just love appreciating those large bodies). I just wished there were more save slots (8 is just not enough) and the ability to save at any sigil/more frequently and load back there as there are so many choices that lead into one time things or other events that shift things in ways that the player may or may not like and it sucks to have to run back to camp every conversation/event to be prepared.
Hiya - agreed on pushing out more save slots. Are you aware that I've increased the amount of locations where you can save from, and that loading from those locations doesn't bring you back to camp? My current goal is to try and make every regular area a saveable location. Perhaps there's still an early line or two in the game that say you can still only save from camp...
Thank you for the response. I found out about the save elsewhere ability at the estate sigil but when I loaded that one I was sent back to the Camp, so I wasn't sure if that was a glitch or intended (which prompted my desire for more places to save). And I want to say there is still a note about only being able to save at camp I believe it was on one of the early versions of the camp (before Hunter joined), but I could be mixing it up with a comment on here.
I think there should be more romance in this game. From the time I've spent on it the whole style and system is amazing but the part I dislike most is Hunter sleeping around with other wolves. I think it would be amazing if we either get a whole new character to romantic thats completely exclusive and would be cool to see some jealous between them.
i think that would be something that happens in a future act, i wish for romance!
cat boy would be cool, plus they and hunter could have a dog cat rivalry.
I agree, it's starting to feel weird just watching hunter be the only one with action with the wolves while nothing happens between the mc and them its felt like i became a second thought to everyone ever since he joined and would love options other than hunter, he honestly sucks. (Can't wait till knave is a option)
We're getting cucked and cheated on by hunter fr
Plenty of factors are going into this:
1. I am just developing Core Act 1 Content - a lot of what is being produced is meant to carve out the pace of mandatory components of the game. As I continue to scope out the game, singular characters who don't interact outside of their independent questlines should help to fill out the cast of characters the MC can interact with, such as Den & Greyhaven characters. This will help balance the scale a bit away from Hunter focused content, but yes, Act 1's main story is Hunter's time to develop as a character.
2. Hunter + MC camp scenes and romance throughout Act 1 isn't implemented yet.
3. MC's design isn't finalized yet. We'll see more art and focus on him once the story reveals itself more.
Beyond all of this, I think there's also a subsection of people who will view sexually permissive acts that aren't explicitly involving or directed towards the main character as a negative. And honestly - I'd rather just write/create lewd content without the burden to always involve the MC - so I'm not sure if Aftersoul is ever going to be a game to accommodate the 'I only have eyes for you' mindset.
Genuinely one of my biggest regrets when writing Aftersoul is using a singular perspective and not treating ??? as one of many player characters in a cast ensemble. I did not expect people to get so hung up on the MC playing a more reserved role through Act 1 - I thought it would feel refreshing to build a world that doesnt feel like it revolves around the MC. Ah well, I'll keep these learning moments in mind for future projects.
Just reached the end of the current demo and honestly, I appreciate that ??? isn't really the focus of most characters for now. Unless I am missunderstanding things, the main character is still undefined phisically within the story until somthing happens later on. I would imagine that as the MC brings themselves into focus more they will get more attention from various characters.
Also just wanted to say that I enjoyed your game :)
Also sorry if this counts as spoilers I will delete if it is.
I need a bit of help with a quest Wolven Worries.
It says to talk to the Pack Leader, but when i do he only has 2 options and both dont progress the quest.
Is there something im missing or is it a WIP quest?
I think in the current version its showing as active when it shouldn't be! This should be fixed in future versions.
This game might be the best RPG I hace played in Itch, the art is great, the story is way richer than most NSFW games in the site. Legit impressive work, maybe the game would benefit from a sound track but that's nitpicking
Again, amazing game!
I may be stupid but how do you save? It said something about Camp, but there isn't a save button in Camp either?
cog button at the bottom left! - saves are mainly only available at major nav-sites like the camp, so not in moment-to-moment conversations. I've also identified a bug with renaming saves, so its probably best not to rename your saves at the current moment.
Hey Does anyone know how to get past the Gilded barriers? ive ran into two and cant figure out what to do with them (one in the manor the other in the mineshaft),
You likely need to go to a certain wolven vendor shop and buy an amulet. Then head down to the Knave in the forest and have a chat. From there, you should be able to interact with the gilded barrier in the estate, and then head to the sanctum in Greyhaven. A lot of this specific portion of questing is something I just prepared an update for, so that the journal better directs players stuck at this specific questline. There's also a bug involving the mineshaft barrier that i just recently prepared a fix for. So next update, I hope all of these wrinkles should be smoothed over! Thank you for playing!
Hi, Cheers for the speedy reply Roads, love the game thus far the storys really good, but im not sure what your referring to by "Then head down to the Knave in the forest and have a chat." i dont have that option in my run through, currently i have explore and x2 places to goto and nav (gave having x2 locations ) im wondering if ive missed a step and the game has continued on and ive missed my chance and found a bug
If you've gotten to the estate, you should have had to do the greyhaven questline where you sneak out of the inn to go to the Estate for the first time. I believe that is the requirement to finding Knave in the Forest - mainly by exploring the Forest. After that, he should be a person to find within the Forest! If this isn't the case, then this is a bug report - In which case, I'll look into why this is happening!
Hi Roads, cheers for the info as soon as i stepped into the forest i ran into Knave so all good thank you for the information, Keep up the good work and remember to pace your self, never rush a master piece like this game is turning into.
is this game ever gonna be released for MacOS? I would love try it out myself but unfortunately I do not have a windows laptop. Thanks for answering
My goal is to simplify and streamline development to just windows while I focus on developing - my apologies! This might change in the future, but for now I will remain non-committal.
Whenever i try to leave the camp it idles and i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and it doesnt work
you are the fourth person to request such an issue. most have solved the issue by uninstalling/deleting aftersoul from their computer, downloading it again, and re-runnin - for the sake of helping me debug, did you ever have a previous version of aftersoul installed?
Nope this was my first time playing it
How do i get building points so i have build the wolven housing
every successful combat you get production equal to your production rank
So for example when i defeat like one of the wolf packs and get that much production?
yep!
i just realized, this game updates once a year-
oh god... (i like the characters and lore so i'm staying till the end but this update cycle sucks, but idc take your time:3)
how to start act 2? i'm lost as hell since i relay on game wikies too much-
don't judge me i'm stupid 😭
or is act 2 even out yet, kinda confused as uou can clearly see
also PLEASE i beg of you, i need me some rookie x hunter content :3
my two favorites need to hang😭
idc if it's sfw or nsfw i need my content! RAHHHHH(angry uh demon noises ig-)
Act 2 is not out yet. What you are playing is the definitive main story gameplay loop of Act. I am currently working on the finale of the Act 1 story, as well as preparing the epilogue that transitions into Act 2.
Heyy! I have a question, if you have to put a % where MC can be top and a % when he is bottom, would there be much difference between the two? The truth is, I prefer Top MC, that's why I wanted to ask, just in case, thanks!!
I try not to place ratios entirely on things like 'top' or 'bottom' when I personally am not writing to the sate the needs of either role, at the moment. As such, I can't really give a solid answer to this question. Perhaps as the game expands I can give a better guesstimate than 'not a lot of either', but the 'goal' would be to supply a healthy mix of both.
Was this game built on Gamemaker by any chance?
unreal engine 5, actually - mostly in widgets/blueprints
Awesome update! Hopefully new updates will be more often than rather once in a year.
the goal this year is to try and have 3 public updates -we'll see how well i can stick to that goal!
I am currently softlocked, act 1. Whenever I try to leave the camp and head to the forest, no text appears, and the env picture doesn't change into the forest one. any tips besides making a new save file?
With the introduction of 'breakout scenes', at least two players have highlighted that their game won't load breakout scenes when going into the forest (instead staying blank). These players had older versions of the game downloaded before playing the game. The only known fix that has worked is to delete Aftersoul and redownload again, as this issue might stem from trying to update the game by replacing the newer version of the game into an existing directory. I currently am not sure why this softlock exists - sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately it didn't work. I replaced both the files in the installation directory, and the folder in AppData\Local. I might have to start a new run
Really enjoyed this game a lot. Love the story the, the art, characters, the combat, the passion and the sexy growth and TF. Especially the growth.
Really wish I could help support on patreon because I think it deserves it after making me enjoy it to much, and to se the progress coming along. Either way I do sincerely hope the creating of this game stays enjoyable and goes smoothly in the future.
Podran hacer una version para android?
This game is incredible, the story is so engrossing across the board, the characters are fun with how you interact with them, and all of the amazing art really adds to the immersion. I do find myself wishing and hoping that Pack Leader, Boss, Rookie and other characters get more growth limelight, considering how much it's foreshadowed, heh, but the game itself is incredibly solid across the board and I'm really looking forward to seeing where the story goes! My only regret is that I don't have the funding currently to join the Patreon to see it develop. Still, I do wish you the best with continuing to craft and build up your amazing world!
Side note, I will be disappointed if Fang doesn't try to absorb a lot of energy from the ley line core he went to, if just because I want to see that massive wolf get even more massive~ But not so disappointed that I won't learn everything I can to try and beat him, heh!
The game is so fun with an amazing art style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
caught up with the latest update, I love Hunter even more than I did last year. peak character, easily top 10 still.
Is there some kind of walkthough. I'm unsure how to progress further. I got to the glade no clue how to progress. The estate has blown up. Is there anything else to do or have I reached the end?
fight in the glade > nav forward at landmarks
Hi, I just wanted to ask, can you make a Android version? pls
A few small issues I had personally is the barrier section leaving me confused as fuck on what to do when I knew I couldn't do anything with it since I was checking the barrier in the mines and nothing was happening. So I automatically assumed that it would be the same thing with the Barrier in the manor until I did the cutscenes related to it.
Also, the lore is so sad and I love it.
The thing is, I really want to play your game, but I'm running into an unexpected problem: I don't have Windows, but I do have a very old 2011 MacBook and Android phone. I don't know what to do. 🥹🥹
On the topic of the Mechanics, holy fucking shit is the protagonist fucking jacked once you get his pathways unlocked. Thing is, I've noticed that balancing your stats is probably the best way to go overall. Though this is made harder by the fact that other party members can't level up as efficiently as you do since you start with three and get a fourth very quickly. Granted, the ultimate challenge at the moment appears to be plant wolf with him having some of the highest stats I'm aware of. Haven't gotten to fang yet.
Whos the fourth, never found them.
I don't usually comment on things but I think it needs to be said that your writing is VERY good, I love what you've done so far and I look forward to whatever you do in the future!
The Lore!!! Holy shit the Lore! I'm not even through with this, but the Lore!!! I'd ramble, but I'd rather leave others to experience it themselves, don't read into my comment thread if you want to experience the update yourself.
Okay, so we apparently are likely to be a dragon. Weather or not in some fucked up way the dragon in the beginning of the story is us, but we fractured our soul or some shit is not easy to tell. First off, we were able to pull ether from leylines easily. Only dragons are said to be able to do that by one of the elk spirits. The detail of traitor seemingly reaching up towards a dragon's wings depicted in the mural is fucking sad especially when you realize the crystals are meant to represent tears. Then you see traitor looking at those below him with seemingly an upset gaze. Assuming I interpreted it correctly. In any case, especially adding onto the fact that our character feels sad when looking at it implies that we are the dragon from that mural that you can barely see ascending into the sky.
Fuck, I never thought I would cry for traitor. I mean he's hot and I want him to be my ally and a part of my party, but fuck man. I now want there to be an option to just hug this snake. I want that to be an option in the next update! Please Roads! Let me give the snake a hug!
The thing is we haven't been given enough lore yet to firmly say how much one can bend a soul. Like sure there's demonic influence and stuff. Yet what about stitching parts of souls together? Also, I love these characters and hope that some of them can join our party like Fumigator and his femboy wife, or at the very least they show up more often. Seriously though, I was not expecting the mutated Strawberry Lizard and Cthulhu tentacle beast. I want to see those characters again cause they were hot and I feel like they could develop as characters. There's also the one dude who was just like: fuck it I'm out of here. That reminded me so much of a scene from the world ends with you where there's a similar state where loads of characters are in a trance. Then there's one dude who's just clueless and out of the loop who just ends up leaving.
Android version???
Let's go!! I never expected this to update so soon! Here's hoping that I don't get stuck too much!
