The Future and updates to come

The Future and updates to come

Hey guys, a small update just to let you all know how things are going. My hand has been doing great lately and it gets stronger every day. I've decided to lower the quality of the upcoming CGs a bit to make sure that I can produce more. This will allow me to keep up with my normal work and not be too burnt out to work on the game.

I also redid Beatrice's sprite! Hers is one of the last u...

This is gonna be the last update for the M line. It's another small one with a guest writer and a bit of art by me, rounding out the Kitsune scene. There's also another small change.

How to be a Hero 0.1M Gallery Edition

A proper gallery update to the game available over at:

https://mega.nz/file/UBg0FSxB#31e2eAC-cSs_hOooptBjtyHFVwD0dTuN4DA9SpHK-l8 

When I first made the game I didn't really consider something like a persistent gallery important. I guess I expected everyone to just k...

A Proper Gallery?

A Proper Gallery?

I think perhaps the biggest request right now has been for a gallery that persists between playthroughs.

I never really considered it much of an issue but I can see why one would be desired, especially since there are scenes you can just straight up miss if you don't do certain things.

Well, it's officially on the to-do list now. 

HOWEVER

I don't kn...

God

It is here. I apologize for the long delay. Very long. Stupidly long.
My injury is not fully recovered and likely never will be. But, I like making things. I like creating content. And I want this game to be complete.
So, here is the first major update in over a year.

I thank you all so much for your patience. This update will be available to everyone.

Patreon Paused

Hey everyone. Last update I mentioned I had some issues with my hands. I'd stressed out my tendons leaving me unable to draw or write as much as I would like. Or at all in the case of drawing. I'd hoped that I'd get better sooner but that didn't happen.

So, for now, I'm pausing the patreon until I feel I can properly work on this game. I can assure you that every cent raised with this has...

I hurt my hand a bit ago doing art related stuff. Taking it easy so it doesn't turn into anything worse. Sorry for the delay!

How to be a Hero 0.1L1

This update contains a bunch of bug fixes. Like a LOT. And some grammar fixes. And it probably has no bugs?

This update adds more to Zinia's route and sets up some content that will be a part of the next update. I'll give you a hint as to what it involves... It's in the header image.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

A Discord? Also update

A Discord? Also update

People have been asking for a discord and that is definitely something I want to create. However, with the holiday season upon us I think right now might not be the best time. Look forward to one later, though!

Also the writing for the current update is basically done. I just wanna test it so that I don't release a horribly buggy mess like the last update...

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

The next game update is nearly done and will release before the month is out. As usual I ended up trying to add way more than was needed so I scaled things back a bit. One idea I had involved another combat revamp but... Yeah, it's on the backburner for now. I might revisit it later.
Either way, hope you guys are having a wonderful month.

0.01L Bug Fix 2

Rather than upload an entire new version I'm going to give some instructions on how to fix this bug in game.
After getting through the tutorial hit shift-O to open the dev console.
Put in the following code and hit enter after each line of code

$ bonus_event.remove("hm_chat")
$ bonus_event.remove("hp_chat")

Then enter this code
$ bonus_event.append("hm_bonus")

WELL.

It's been an interesting year, hasn't it?
I know it has for me. Things have been a bit wild.

I could go on a giant spiel about my life, how things have changed, trials and tribulations.

But... I don't think anyone cares about that kinda junk. You're here for elf titty.

UPDATE WHEN

UPDATE WHEN

Soon! It's a fairly sizable update. It includes a new enemy, redone sprites for certain characters, many CGs, and a buttload of QoL changes. Sadly this will require a new save as this update goes deep into the earlier parts of the game. Unless you don't care about that stuff. Honestly old saves -should- function with the new update but it will be missing some updated content.

Anyway, ther...

The New Version Update

The next update to the game is in the works and on the way. It will focus heavily on the Pure Elf and, more likely than not, round out her story. It will also include some work for the Harpy enemy that has been long delayed.

0.2 WHEN!?

Not soon. As I'm sure you noticed the game has been sticking to 0.1 with various letters of the alphabet. I decided to do this so that way I don't run out of numbers too soon. 0.1 basically covers what I'm calling the Elf Arc. It has the first major quest in the game. That is, get rid of the Plague Elf and Bat problem. While it can TECHNICALLY be complete as early as 0.1i it's not the intended ...

Known Bugs: 0.1i1

  • Losing to the first secret boss does not end the game.
