aCheat is live
🕑 Added 2020-09-07 19:11:45 +0000 UTCWriting for Kobold Adventure has not progressed along at all since the last update. I've been feeling dreadful, and as a result I've only barely been able to write anything of worth whatsoever. I tried my hardest, but nothing came from it. So, ultimately, after a week of attempting to make what I had planned on making, I gave up on it, and I made this instead.
So, what the heck is this? aCheat is a brand new feature for Kobold Adventure. It allows you to visit any scene you like, and alter your stats, statuses, name and gold count to any value you so desire. This will allow you to play through the game without needing to worry about planning a route to get to the content you want to see.
The video above showcases a few applications of aCheat. It's a pretty versatile tool, that you can use to see a whole range of different things. Find an option you can't access because you lack the stats or an item? aCheat's got you covered. Want to see what changes in Night Three when you mess with the gang in the forest? Enable shared changes, load and restart the forest, mess with them, skip straight to Night Three, and there you have it!
Note that certain scenes simply aren't made to encompass things like having boths sets of genitals, or being equipped with a zweihander when the most you should have by then is a stick. Things might not work as expected, or break outright. I can't offer any guarantee that anything you end up trying using this tool will actually end up working.
I've had a bunch of people beta-test the new feature and we've ironed out a few of the kinks already, but there's surely a million bugs and unforeseen interactions with any number of scenes present still. Please, try out as many different things as you possibly can, and report any bugs or issues you might find. There's probably a few of them that I can't fix, but I'm certain I'll be able to patch up whatever leaks you might find. One thing I can think of right off the bat is maybe some issues with the scene stack may arise; but we'll see.
In order to find how to access aCheat, you'll have to carefully read the titlescreen. A new segment has been added to it, explaining how to get to the new feature. It is not enabled on the main game itself, since any potential longterm effects on your savegames have yet to be tested. All forms of milestones, including achievements, are fully disabled in aCheat. You can, but you really shouldn't save your game in it.
Anyway, yeah. Like I said: writing for Kobold Adventure really was not progressing. I tried my hardest, but it wouldn't work. To relieve my frustration, I've written a small story on the side concerning a fox and a human in a modern day setting. This story will be uploaded to FurAffinity after once the thumbnail art for it is done, which in turn will be made after the Yastara character sheet is finished.
Speaking of the character sheet, that's what I'll be working on next. Hopefully, the writing required for it will bring me back into the flow of things, when it comes to writing for Kobold Adventure. For September's character sheet, I have something special in mind. You'll see what I mean once the poll for it goes up; after Yastara's sheet goes live.
Once the sheet is done, I'll give writing for the dungeon another shot. I hope the small time off of it I took will have sufficed to refresh my writing juices. If it doesn't work, I might switch focus to either enslavement or something. We'll see!
There are two new pieces of art in this update, both in the turning the tables on Tak-Tik segment; exclusive to female kobolds. Both were made by TruFezan. Kudos to him on his great work!
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I'm sorry I couldn't squeeze more content out of the writing machine. I really tried my hardest, but the words just weren't coming to me. The one or two small segments that I finished weren't particularly well-made, and too low quality to be added without thorough rewriting. Thank you for your interest, and I'll see you when the character sheet is done.

You didn't really even need to go that far - the save file could be exported (as JSON), edited, and imported again x3

Woa! I like this new feature. Last time I tried to use CE to cheat, but end up in vain.XD Probably opened wrong process....

Don't force it to point of burnout, that's no fun and generally gives bland writing.
