Eroico Update
Download (V2)
Well, I've finished the update to Eroico. If you encounter any problems or bugs that I've overlooked, let me know. If you have any other small requests regarding the game, this is your last chance, since I won't be updating it after any fixes I do in the next day or so.
Note: If you've already purchased Eroico in the past, then your unlock code still works; you don't need to buy the game again. (But hey, if you pirated before it then maybe now's the time to buy it *wink*). If you need the unlock code resent, send me an email. If you bought the game through DLsite, then the unlock code for that works with this.
And again, let me know if you see anything wonky. Chances are I missed SOMETHING.
Fixes in progress:
- CGs appearing zoomed in
- H-content turns back on after death
- Alleged Cat seizures
- Controller sabatoges keyboard usage. (If you have problems with a controller, unplug it, for now)
- Desert Boss peaces out mid-fight.
- Vampire gets fed up with waiting to H and leaves.
Is there anything like a changelog that we can view? I would love to see what updates there were to the game. Like is it just animations or was anything else changed?
ReplyDeleteWould be tough to do a list, since a ton of things have been changed in small ways.
DeleteBasically it boils down to;
-H-Animations and some game animations
-Sounds
-Bosses have some different attacks
-CGs are revised and 1920 x 1080
-a ton of other misc changes
Sweet, looking forward to playing again and seeing what's new.
DeleteThis is going up on Mangagamer eventually, right?
ReplyDeleteI bought it once, but I plan to rebuy it there to show MG that there is a demand for H-action games.
please tell me you got rid of ping pong boss
ReplyDeleteNo, but you can attack her normally now.
DeleteMost enemies can't stun you in the 3rd (top) area, when doing enemies gallery
ReplyDeleteYou can press H to assume the position
DeleteGot it, thanks for the heads up. Fixing it now.
DeleteWhenever I start a fight with the first boss random numbers show up on top of eroico's body. Oh and catgirls get to have seizures if you are grabbed by something else and they have a ledge nearby
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the new animations, changing the pose on the end really makes a difference
Someone left their debug mode on. What are the values for?
DeleteI prefer to have a female protagonist on H games, but might give this a try. Have your considered selling on other sites? I saw some H games on itch.io.
ReplyDeleteI've avoided it until now but I'm considering it. It would be Eroico, though, since a female protagonist wouldn't be as easily accepted by the mainstream.
Delete99℅ of all hgames have a female Prot. Aint that enough? There are people like me who like the other Gender more. So please. Its a gift of a Saint to have a game like this.
DeleteIf the first boss uses her "jump/hover and spawn vertical roots from the ground" attack while she's under the blocks at the entrance of her lair, she'll warp to the roof.
ReplyDeleteFrom then on she'll just dash around on top of the screen; you can tell because her feet are still visible.
RIP tree boss.
DeleteAight, I'm on it.
please fix windowed mode, there are a lot of problems with it.
ReplyDeletefor starters dying but not being raped shifts the entire window to the top left so only the bottom right corner shows
the cg forces the game window to a bigger size
doing either of those re-centers the window annoyingly
stretch doesn't work in windowed mode, it only mimics the last chosen size so x1 or x3
there are a few more problems but those are more likely on my end, so i won't list them
I think the site's Eroico page still has the old demo.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the game feels like it's running at a lower framerate than the old version? Should that be happening?
Actually, rather than a lower framerate, the game DOES seem to run decently and then quickly drop. It seems like whenever I enter a new area it runs fine, then drops as soon as I start going through it.
DeleteNormally I wouldn't mind too much, but I'm recording a thing for Youtube and want the game to be represented as best as possible~
Yes, looks like I stuck vsync on by mistake. Without that the game should be faster than the OG.
DeleteAs for the page I'll update it soon, though the OG will still be available too.
First off, great great update, love the new animations and sounds.
ReplyDeleteOne problem I'm having is the CG appearing zoomed in when I'm in fullscreen mode. This is on a standard 1920x1080 monitor.
Is it one or all of them? I haven't encountered this so I don't know why it'd be doing that.
DeleteI can't screw the vampire in stage 3. Surely this is a bug still!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update~, glad I still have the unlock I bought years ago.
Howso? She has two animations, one for getting bit and one while knocked down.
Deletehow does it feel to tick this off the to-do list
ReplyDeleteI'll feel relieved when all the bugs are fixed and it's selling on Nutaku and MG.
DeleteUntil theeen....
I remember you saying that we'd be able to go back through doors in this one. As far as I can tell we can't. Not a big deal, just throwing it out there.
ReplyDeleteBasically I started porting Eroico to something, made the change involving doors, and then the idea of porting fell through. There were too many problems, and so I just went back and updated it in the old software. In retrospect it would have been mostly pointless anyway.
DeleteOther than the release bugs. Would you say you're a lot more proud/happy with Eroico now?
ReplyDelete日本語でごめんなさい。stage2 boss が消えました。 降る炎の球のあと、大きい炎の球を放つ前に。私は左上にいました。その後bossは消えました。
ReplyDeleteAlright, I'll add it to the list.
DeleteWhat little Japanese I used to know is mostly gone. It looks to be about the fireballs, but I can't be certain.
DeleteIs it actually about the boss vanishing? Because, well, she vanished.
It looked to me like she tried to teleport; there were two greyish smoke bubbles, one where she was standing and one further to the right of the screen, but she didn't reappear in the other smoke bubble.
I tried waiting a bit to see if she was just outside the screen and would eventually teleport back in, but she never did.
DON'T LEAVE ME, SUPER HOT IFRIT GIRL, I LOVE YOU
The comment above makes me wonder, does the man Kyrieru reads Japaneses? Do you need to translate that with the power of google? I can try to translate that If you needed.
ReplyDeleteHope you had good rest over the holidays ky! *wink*
ReplyDeleteIf you're lucky/unlucky enough to receive a health item and lethal damage at or around the same time, the stage music cuts out as if you'd died. Seems like you can continue playing without problems, and if you take lethal damage again, you do get a game over. Not sure if this causes further glitches if you make it to a boss screen because I'm bad. Seems like a pretty benign bug, but... hey, just in case!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the report.
DeleteDon't forget to send the update to Dlsite. That should net you more sells.
ReplyDeleteSo I don't fullly understand what's going on with my game. I can't play the game with my keyboard, it only lets me hit F4. I can't play the game with an Xbox controller either.
ReplyDeleteSorry, it also lets me hit esc as well, but that's it.
DeleteBaaaaaah the update was supposed to fix this lol. Not sure what else to do.
DeleteI'll take another look at it though.
Oddly enough, my controller wouldn't work with the old version anymore (too many bad drivers over time), but it works with this one.
DeleteKeyboard doesn't, however. I tried using H to get around the 3rd stage enemies not being able to knock me down and noticed that none of the keyboard keys worked (aside from Esc, that key still works for me too).
I've got the same issue, only the Esc key works. I can move through the menu with my PS4 controller (Using DS4 windows), but I can't select anything.
DeleteI managed to solve this problem for myself by uninstalling the program vJoy. If you have the program, uninstalling it might fix it.
DeleteYeah, I actually fixed it that night, sorry, I was too exhausted to post by the end of that tustle, it took two hours to figure it out XD. I did in fact had to uninstall the vJoy driver to make it work.
DeleteLove the new animations. Got downed by a catgirl immediately and was very pleasantly surprised. Really great to see you hard at work and see how it pays off.
ReplyDeleteThat said, this game is fantastic for people hardcore into platformers, but not so great still for anyone who wants to enjoy the H-content you put so much work into. Not because of any quality issues- besides the bugs already reported, the game is solid as hell. But the platforming segments, especially the ones with the boxes that you have to hit to gain altitude, are extremely difficult for someone who isn't well-honed and experienced when it comes to platformers. A lot of enemies also seem to be placed in exactly the right spot to knock you all the way back down to the beginning, just after finishing a series of well-timed jumps. From a player satisfaction standpoint, it can be extremely frustrating. And while some people might enjoy angry masturbation, I'm definitely not one.
I think one thing that could remedy this is by severely decreasing the knockback when hit on easy mode. That wouldn't solve the box-jump issue but it would solve a lot of other frustrating moments I ran into. As far as the box jumps, maybe just increasing their hitboxes? I frequently get bounced ahead of the next one I have to hit, and then I have to start all over because by the time I turn around it's too late. Probably just a reflex issue on my end, but others might have the same problem.
Another option for both would simply be to allow us to block in mid-air, maybe slowing our descent in the process. Not sure how much of a pain it would be to code, but I figured I'd throw the idea out there.
That's not to say there's anything wrong with it, it's all very solid and I see the appeal to hardcore platforming fans. But it'd be cool if easy mode had a little extra easy-ness to it for scrubs like me who need to git gud, and for anybody who just wants a fap.
Keep it up, dude. You're amazingly talented.
+1
Deleteehh, if you just wanna fap, you can probably find a savefile of the original version and use that to unlock the full gallery of enemies, also the game is wayyy easier than it use to be, also it seems the bottom of the hitbox of the slash attack has been increased, so its even easier now than ever to strike the jump blocks
Deleteyou've said it yourself, git gud
Are you using the spinning slash (Down + Attack while in the air) a lot? The move creates a rather long-lasting hitbox under you, so if you use it somewhat early, you'll bounce at the maximum possible height every time. Very useful to just bounce over enemies' heads too.
DeleteAlso, on Easy, the downward thrust (Down x2 in quick succession) will pretty much one-shot everything so you can safely land on top of enemies and kill them at the same time.
Oh, and if you need to git gud, I recommend playing Wings of Vi. I mean, sure, you'll probably kill yourself within the first hour, and the best you can hope for is to get away with moderate self-mutilation. But if you survive, you'll never again think of Eroico's platforming sections as difficult.
enemies gallery, top area:
ReplyDeletewitches will launch above the screen if they move under the pillar to their right and try to go up while still under it.
If bitten by a vampire and you get hit by an attack (the spray from other attacks or the other vampire trying to do the same bite attack) the vampire to will disappear. (if the two are trying to do it at the same time only one will disappear.)
Alright, I'll add it to the list.
DeleteThe short song that played on the "Thank you for playing" screen that comes after the final boss fight is missing.
Delete2 more bugs, both final boss related.
DeleteFor the boss attack that you can knock back with your sword, you have an effect to darken the room. If you spend that entire attack in the left corner of the room and keep knocking it back, then the effect to darken the room will end before the orb hits the boss the last time.
If you defeat the boss while she is on the ground, her defeat animation will cause her to fall through the floor before the ending cutscene starts.
Aight, thanks.
Deletebought
ReplyDeleteWhenever I load up the game, it seems to run on a very low framerate, around 15FPS. I've tried messing around in the Nvidia control pannel to see if that's causing issues but haven't been able to fix it. Same happens with the older Eroico, Kurovadis and Noaika as well. Runs fine on my laptop, but not on my desktop.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how it happened, but while fighting the second boss she poofed out of existence, never to be seen again. She was in the upper left corner of the stage and teleported, but never reappeared.
ReplyDeleteFirst the final boss is unbeatable. I won the ping pong battle 5 times and she still lives.
ReplyDeleteSecond great animations. But I really wish the animation alone would get more love than the cum animation. It feels like you've focused on that. And I didn't you know you would change that much that's why i voted on your poll like that.
Anway I feel bad for pirating your game once. But since you are on of the very few not money hungry ones when it comes to this industry I bought your game. I mean 5 dollars is not much at all.
I imagine her HP was increased in general since you can hit her outside the ping-pong battle now. Might just need to keep fighting.
DeleteThe final boss is beatable, it just takes a while.
DeleteI must have hit her with the ball at least ten times before I realized "OK, that's not how you beat her anymore" and figured that she isn't completely impervious to damage anymore.
DeleteOne thing I noticed is the booster blocks behave a little oddly: They properly boost you up/diagonal/sideways most of the time, but they don't seem to do "down" - sometimes I just float slowly down and to the side while swording, sometimes I do zoom down and then go sideways once I hit the ground. I also can't reliably get downward-diagonal, but that might just be me sucking at precise jump-and-run inputs...
ReplyDeleteI just played through it again, and I really like all the small little changes - it seems really polished.
ReplyDeleteThe only enemy with multiple sex scenes I've found was the vampire and only after seeing you mention it here in the comment section; are there more?
You grayed out the debug bug, but the second boss still showed the numbers for me.
The last boss didn't seem to die any earlier than before, even though you can attack him now.
I was assuming those bugs have been greyed out to show that they have been fixed internally, not that they have been fixed in the release version... but I could be wrong; I haven't tried re-downloading.
DeleteAbout the last boss, well... it may not look like attacking her makes a difference, but she'll live pretty much forever if you just use the balls to damage her. I'm guessing that she's been redesigned to live about as long as she used to, but only if you attack her in addition to playing ping-pong.
Bought the game again. Still worth every penny. Keep it up, man.
ReplyDeleteJesus christ, it was worth the wait. Some of the new animations are amazing. The witch animation before was my favorite, but now it's just, jesus. Even some of the animations I didn't care for too much before, like the old catgirl and gargoyle got some brilliant revamps. The actual stage layouts are great as always, and the music is still fantastic. A game definitely worth purchasing twice, at least.
ReplyDeleteI remember buying this game YEARS ago, I have absolutely no idea where my code is. Is there some way I would be able to prove that I had bought it in the past? I understand it is ultimately my fault for not keeping the code safe, but if possible I'd like to be able to have it resent to me. If not, I understand.
ReplyDeleteJust send me an email and things happen lol
Deletein stage 2 the boulders get the little <3 sign when you get downed. tbh thought it was pretty funny
ReplyDeleteYep lol. Basically it's a bug that's been there since the beginning and I never fixed it because of how goofy it was when I first saw it.
DeleteTry and put this on Steam for shits and giggles.
ReplyDeleteThere are games that have the H-content out and they tell the players how to put the it back in.
DeleteThe ghost girl doesn't have an H-scene, nor does she have her own CG (unless you're still keeping the spirit of the old game version badum-tsss).
ReplyDeleteYeahh, by the time I was done with the existing animations I was like "I'm done"
DeleteI don't know if this is a bug, but some of the new CGs look cropped or cut off compared to the old ones. The lower body of the last boss isn't visible at all this time, but you can see it in the CG for old Eroico.
ReplyDeletewhat resolution you playing on?
DeleteThe new Animations looks awesome, you have done an great job! I'm really glad that I bought Eroico, you deserved that money. Now I'm totally hyped for Noaika :D
ReplyDeleteis there an option to buy it without a paypal
ReplyDeleteFor now there isn't, but you can buy it on other sites such as DLsite, since the code in that version works for this. Dunno if you can use a credit card.
DeleteGlitch related to adult content. When starting a new game with Adult Content off, it works fine for the first life, then after using Continue the Adult Content has been turned back on. I haven't tested if this glitch still occurs if continuing from a checkpoint rather than the beginning of the game. I also believe it's a new glitch for the new build of the game, since I'd been playing it a bit yesterday and it never cropped up.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I decided against streaming this live. Specifically because I was worried the Adult Content might glitch into existence. xP
And yes I know this is the most minor of minor concerns that my hentai game has hentai in it. xD Game is running awesome after you added Vsync by the way~
DeleteNah, I'll be fixing anything I can fix.
DeleteGame crashed on me after dying to the Vampire's bite attack
ReplyDeleteDoes it give you an error?
Delete___________________________________________
DeleteFATAL ERROR in

Kyrieru, these animations are fantastic! A huge improvement over the first Eroico. Great work! 8/8, worth the w8.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you don't mind me asking, what animation software are you using? I'm using GM's built-in editor, but I'm wondering if there's anything better out there.
I use aseprite now.
DeleteCool, thanks! I'll give it a try. =)
Deletewhat does the flame sword actually do? it's taking the same number of hits to kill things before and after I get it...
ReplyDeleteIt increases the range of your attacks.
DeleteHave you posted the update to dlsite? I'd imagine all your Japanese fans would be ecstatic. Kinda surprised you haven't posted your demo for Noaika there either. I'd imagine it'd be quite the buzz over there.
ReplyDeleteNot yet; I want to wait until I've fixed all the bugs that I can. As for Noaika, there wouldn't be much point to uploading it since the full game doesn't resemble it anymore.
DeleteHey, Kyrieru. I remember you noting that those who preordered Noaika were going to get anything you released in the meantime for free; does that only apply to entirely new games, or was that offer rescinded? I'm not going to die either way, but I did want to ask to be sure.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's coming in the next set of changes.
DeleteFor some reason, whenever I try to rewrite a save (new game, save from download, save options, etc.), an error pops up, saying "Error opening file for writing". I don't know if this is a permission thing on my end, or what, but I was really looking forward to your new-found progress on making art.
ReplyDeleteThe saves are just text files. I guess you could mess around with them to see what you can and can't do, which might help you figure out why the game can't edit them.
DeleteIn the meantime, if you just want to start a new game, you could try to simply delete the appropriate save file manually and see if the game lets you use that slot. Hopefully there won't be issues when you pass a checkpoint and the game "autosaves" there.
After playing the demo for a few minutes I bought the game. Thanks for making this.
ReplyDeleteDo buying the game allows me to get free updates later?
ReplyDeleteUpdates are always free, including this one.
DeleteCould it be that the downloadlink is down?
ReplyDeleteClick home, at the top, this is an old version.
DeleteAdd more lust and monsters pls i would really appreciate it!!! luv the game by the way keep up the good work. :D
ReplyDelete
