I don't really like to be forced to touch and make out with Helena just to continue the story, do you think you could maybe change that? I mean I'm REALLY not interested in romancing her but I keep getting forced to do stuff with her
its the part with "Romance" in the name where she has her chastity belt on and it says that you spend the day teasing her and making out with her in the garden
sorry for asking that specific I know I'm the dev but that's something I did over 1 year ago so :P my memory isn't super fresh, must be said I for the most part try to keep those things optional during the main story, unless you accepted or agreed that you liked them in a part of the story
For that matter, every single character will have it's futa version. There might be few exceptions but we look towards making everyone a futa, if you ask which one you like I can tell you how close we are to add it
my apologies, yes, itch.io doesn't send me emails when I get comments, so I usually miss them.
I update the game each month, I will update this (itch.io) version soon, but if you don't want to miss anything I suggest you to join to discord or follow the patreon (I am not sure if people can still follow patreons public feed, but there you will find the free versions each month)
This is pretty good, though yeah. The early state of the game shows. Not sure if this gets updated anymore since it's a few months since the last dev log though.
So real talk... Is this inspired by Corruption of Campions? Cuz that would be freaking sweet. currently downloading so i havent played it yet, but im getting such major flash backs to COC that it should prove to be so much fun.
I really enjoyed the brilliant writing system of the game. however...im not one to be aroused by it. i got through my first sexual act with the Amazonian and i have to ask...are there no sex scenes? pictures? anything? is it just text?
You really need to reconsider the save location. I played for a bit but at one point the game became practically unplayed. Loading would take a minimum of 40 seconds to several minutes. The game would hang as if there was a memory leak or something. Please put the save folder within the game's folder itself. I'm playing another unity game and the save folder is right there with "Managed", "Mono" and "Resources".
I am a game dev and experienced programmer. Deleting your save file will not fix a memory leak. At best it would delay its reappearance (assuming it's actually an issue with the game itself).
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem if you find out a fix please let me know. It's a good game but is almost unplayable when it take 5 mins to do anything.
The only fix is to delete your save file. I think maybe you can prevent this from happening by not saving as frequently, but I've not tested it yet. Though that's still a temporary fix and it will come back.
Yeah it really sucked, specially because it was hard to reproduce. Me and the people who worked on it never had this trouble because we didnt play long sessions, but instead specific ones where we just test whats new. It took months even after the first complains that I really had any clue about what the problem could be (doing different other types of tests before I actually found the bug), but yeah, now at least is playable!
Kinda late answer... there was a bug with the saves, a quite critical one. It's been fixed, and if you load your old saves they can be fixed too (just overwrite them)
Is transformation really an integral part of experiencing the game or can I just play without it? Either is fine, I'm just not into beastal/furry things.
Spent some time (about two and a half hours) playing the currently available version of the game last night and had to come back to share some thoughts.
First and foremost, the game has a brilliant concept and execution despite the bugs and incomplete / Work-In-Progress elements.
Love the tactical / management / micro-management elements you've got to work with going on with the whole visual-novel feel to the game, and the fact that you're taking the time to include character creation and a background / prelude with player choices incorporated into them.
Some stuff to consider as the game's development progresses:
Character Creation can be expanded to include an avatar that is customized based on player choices during the process.
Additional art should be included with the various scenes and events.
Battles and Combat scenarios could be improved / expanded to turn-based combat on a battle-grid (with tokens or sprites to represent the various characters)
Character Actions / Abilities / Attacks during combat could be expanded to include additional options.
Include an 'Energy' meter of some kind to indicate how much energy your character has to act with each day, and how much certain actions consume.
Some of the bugs that I've noticed while playing:
Rest feature doesn't always work.
Recovery on rest doesn't always work.
Servant Management tied to the Rest feature doesn't always refresh with a Rest [when it works].
So....I'm new to your following, but I do so greatly enjoy the Story that you are unraveling for us. I look forward to the next release. For now, I'm playing through with different answers. I will need to better support this project. Thank you for your hard work!
I thought there was a Wiki or guide somewhere at some point (Around when I last played, for 0.2.6), but when I looked around, I couldn't find anything on this game anywhere. Anybody know anything about something that might fit what I'm looking for?
Hey duodev, would you consider uploading your next build in .zip format like you do with Take Over? It's kinda troublesome unzipping other types of compressed files.
i've downloaded and played a bit of version 0.2.7a and got some 'things' in my mind to tell ya,
Dunno if its my version fault or it have to be like this,
No matter how much i saved the money before reparation it always gone and said wasted all and need to ask for loans, wont it be better to just use the 3000 golds mentioned by the maid,
or make it a tutorial starting quest which limit the things player could do so we cant save more golds than needed.
next, i think there's too few info for new players like. What traits required for what job in slave/servant's job,
also too much attributes which i still dont know what it used at
and also punishment issue mentioned by MiscChaos, i'll wait for next update for this one
overall this is a game with nice concept and got many potential, keep it up
hey sorry for taking this long to answer, but many of the things you mention are right, or better said, things that I need to improve in the game, thanks for the feedback and I'll try to do something about it soon!
Another thing I noticed is that the Barracks are missing, so I'm completely unable to check on my people. I'm not sure if this is an error from bringing my game over from 2.6 or if this is a general issue. I'll start a new game and reply to this thread with the results
Nope, no matter what Barracks are blanked out so I can't access it. Also, the intro line hasn't updated to show that quests will be in Quest Log and still tells people to go to the Journal
'Nother one. This time it's a bit of double text. And the text after this one has a few [MC] bricks instead of my character's actual name. I noticed that pop up a lot in Alba's story and a lot of PRONOUNHESHE in Abbadon's, but since I haven't been through those scenes since 2.6 I don't know if they've been fixed
The Lucretius storyline is just all kinds of buggy for me. When I press help him, I get transported to a scene that makes no sense. If I press finish the session, it seems like I take steps to corrupt him. Later on, when I go to tell him I plan on purifying the city, it instead switches over to corrupting him.
thanks for all of these reports! some of them (like the wrong texts when punishing) have been fixed in the newest build, but others like the mc thing not, or the lucretius thing, so thanks and I will make sure to take care of them!
When doing the traditions quest line I got a bunch of placeholder text asking me to report it as a bug so I am doing that :) Also amazing game!!! (Put a picture of the bug so you can see what I am seeing) Thanks for all your hard work!
So I'm downloading the latest release from here (DiCK 0.2.6 dev) and when I try to extract them I'm getting an error prompt saying the archive is either unknown or damaged. Anybody else have that happen to them?
oh thats a bug then, I need to check it out, thanks for the report! I will be updating these days the current version here, although this error in specific may not be fixed (the version is already done), it probably fixes a lot of other stuff
I love the game overall but to much typing and reading to do i mean i dont want to feel like im reading a novel but more playing a game where im not overwelmed by 200+ words at once :3 but its great otherwise
Hey, most often than not save are not compatible yet, but if you need to delete them or move them you can find them in user/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/DuoDevelopers
I see, I didnt knew i had to click that icon, i dont really use much itch.io... updated this now, but if you want the available version, it is always in the patreon tho! sorry for the trouble, will not happen again!
Indeed, because unity needs that to actually access the save and loads files.
I understand the caution, but my game has been out since december, and I am not even a good enough coder to make a virus or similar for that matter (this is my first game), so nothing to worry about I hope.
That's an odd reason, considering all these other Unity productions that seem to have no issue handling file access. Perhaps it's just the place you're trying to save to that does it? Certain folders are, after all, not generally allowed to be written to, such as Program Files.
now that I think about, you are right about that. Is just when I started the game the load and save were one of the first things I did, and I just followed the script tutorials at unity site so and did everything as default.
The folder that it uses to save is user/appdata/locallow/duodevelopers and AFAIK this has been the reason this gives me trouble, I will look if i can change it to another folder soon tho

Hey, i know that acronym style which spells a bodypart often used in sexual acts... Hmmm.
Show post...
ever am i reminded of Trials in Tainted Space. TiTS
I don't really like to be forced to touch and make out with Helena just to continue the story, do you think you could maybe change that? I mean I'm REALLY not interested in romancing her but I keep getting forced to do stuff with her
in which part of the story? I thought for the most part that was avoidable, maybe I should just adjust one of those scenes
its the part with "Romance" in the name where she has her chastity belt on and it says that you spend the day teasing her and making out with her in the garden
ty, gonna look into it to see if it can be fixed soon
sorry for asking that specific I know I'm the dev but that's something I did over 1 year ago so :P my memory isn't super fresh, must be said I for the most part try to keep those things optional during the main story, unless you accepted or agreed that you liked them in a part of the story
Nice! An update, looks cool. Any word on when the slave system will be worked on more? It's one of the more promising features in my opinion!
Actually I am going to work on these features for these next updates!
Any plans for dickgirls in the future?
For that matter, every single character will have it's futa version. There might be few exceptions but we look towards making everyone a futa, if you ask which one you like I can tell you how close we are to add it
No need, i'll gladly wait for it :D
I'm just thinking where the next update will come, or the artist give up to make the game?
On patreon he is aktive so i think no worrys
my apologies, yes, itch.io doesn't send me emails when I get comments, so I usually miss them.
I update the game each month, I will update this (itch.io) version soon, but if you don't want to miss anything I suggest you to join to discord or follow the patreon (I am not sure if people can still follow patreons public feed, but there you will find the free versions each month)
You should probably mention discord in the description and probably link it too.
true, alright!
This is pretty good, though yeah. The early state of the game shows. Not sure if this gets updated anymore since it's a few months since the last dev log though.
According to other comments, it's just the itch.io page that doesn't. Their Discord and Patreon public feed have the monthly updates.

The location of the save file shouldn't affect the loading speed.
🤦🤦🤦 No it doesn't. But I may want to delete them to make the game playable again.
Deleting the save file wouldn't make the game load faster.
🤦🤦🤦 Yes it does. Please don't talk as if you know how it works when you clearly don't. Spreading misinformation doesn't help anyone.

you are 100% right Main, there was a bug that accumulated and duplicated lists, so the more times you loaded/saved in a single session, the worse.
It's been fixed and the fix even can reduce the size of your old saves, so you dont have to start again (just overwrite your old save)
Thank you very much for the fix ! It's very much needed. And glad I could help !
Yeah it really sucked, specially because it was hard to reproduce. Me and the people who worked on it never had this trouble because we didnt play long sessions, but instead specific ones where we just test whats new.

How do you get pregnant/get someone pregnant
I thought there was a Wiki or guide somewhere at some point (Around when I last played, for 0.2.6), but when I looked around, I couldn't find anything on this game anywhere.
Anybody know anything about something that might fit what I'm looking for?
Idk why but my game has gotten so slow. Even loading my save takes 10 mins and idk how to fix this. Does anyone know what to do?
The only way I could come up with is to overwrite all but one with the 1 Day save file
The only thing I want to see s a new version for this game, because I'm a realy fan of this game
Where do I see how much money I have? I can't find it anywhere. I know I have some, but I can't figure out how much.
adding to hikaro, i really want a linux version
The only thing I'd want for this game is a mobile version, since this kinda game works for the system.
But a man can only dream
Duedev do you intend to put more dialogs with Luna and Lucina in the next update
Hey duodev, would you consider uploading your next build in .zip format like you do with Take Over? It's kinda troublesome unzipping other types of compressed files.
good point, sorry it was a mistake, I usually try to upload everything in zip nowadays
hi duodev,

hey sorry for taking this long to answer, but many of the things you mention are right, or better said, things that I need to improve in the game, thanks for the feedback and I'll try to do something about it soon!
I can't wait the new release of this game
when I open the pawn shop I get the place holder text.
When I open up the Pawnshop, I get this telling me to report it to you. So here I am doing just that!
Another thing I noticed is that the Barracks are missing, so I'm completely unable to check on my people. I'm not sure if this is an error from bringing my game over from 2.6 or if this is a general issue. I'll start a new game and reply to this thread with the results
Nope, no matter what Barracks are blanked out so I can't access it. Also, the intro line hasn't updated to show that quests will be in Quest Log and still tells people to go to the Journal
Cancel that. Just noticed that the Barracks are now in the Journal. Something to point that out would probably be for the best.
New issue: It doesn't seem like I can punish unruly slaves. When I go to punish them, I get the text for rewarding them instead
Got a new placeholder. This time when I tried punishing someone. This one also shows I have two slaves of the same name right now
'Nother one. This time it's a bit of double text. And the text after this one has a few [MC] bricks instead of my character's actual name. I noticed that pop up a lot in Alba's story and a lot of PRONOUNHESHE in Abbadon's, but since I haven't been through those scenes since 2.6 I don't know if they've been fixed

thanks for all of these reports! some of them (like the wrong texts when punishing) have been fixed in the newest build, but others like the mc thing not, or the lucretius thing, so thanks and I will make sure to take care of them!
thanks a lot for the report, i will write it down and fix it ASAP
Why is the download size for DiCK 0.2.7a so much smaller than DiCK 0.2.6 dev?
(90mb vs 142mb)
thats because i optimized the sprite usage of the game significantly haha
How long will it take you to release a new version of DiCK? I'm a great fan of the game and I realy want to play a new version
You are lucky, this weekend (probably friday) I will be releasing a new public version, and a new one for the patreons too!
So I'm downloading the latest release from here (DiCK 0.2.6 dev) and when I try to extract them I'm getting an error prompt saying the archive is either unknown or damaged. Anybody else have that happen to them?
oh right! you need to update winrar to the latest version, that should make it work! in the future i will make it all in zip to avoid this problem
Oh wow, yeah that did it. Now I just feel silly XD
nah dont feel silly, its a very common problem actually, it is my fault for not changing to something more reliable
When performing handjob or oral on a person in my barrack (The gladiator, a male), the text says both "him" and "her", making it very confusing...
oh thats a bug then, I need to check it out, thanks for the report! I will be updating these days the current version here, although this error in specific may not be fixed (the version is already done), it probably fixes a lot of other stuff
are you still updating this?
Yep, monthly! You can always check the patreon for the newest public version!
if we have a previous save from the last version will we be able to continue it in the next one?
yep, depend of which version but saves have been compatible for the last 5-6 months IIRC so if you played this itch version it should be
I love the game overall but to much typing and reading to do i mean i dont want to feel like im reading a novel but more playing a game where im not overwelmed by 200+ words at once :3 but its great otherwise
Any idea when the next update will come out?
I try to make a reasonably big release every 2 months, and a preview release for 10$ every month. Right now the new build is up!
ah okay, thank you for the info :D
Hey, most often than not save are not compatible yet, but if you need to delete them or move them you can find them in user/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/DuoDevelopers
why is it not avalible on windows?
I may have done something wrong with the itch.io page, because the game is only for windows now, I'll check it tomorrow tho!
many days later the game is still not for windows, rip
it is for windows tho, its the only version
https://mega.nz/#!wIgh3BZQ!6tuabJV7BL-8ZNx1GNJxuljwSbbigRlH_VtFM5ZeKig
I see, I didnt knew i had to click that icon, i dont really use much itch.io... updated this now, but if you want the available version, it is always in the patreon tho! sorry for the trouble, will not happen again!
ayy, thank you fot the quick reply :)
i'll download and see if i like the game now, because it seemed reaal interesting
also, no need to apologise. i didnt have any troubles :)
It seems interesting so far I can't wait to see more
"Start game as administrator"? Yeah, quite reassuring. You might want to consider saying why this is
Indeed, because unity needs that to actually access the save and loads files.
I understand the caution, but my game has been out since december, and I am not even a good enough coder to make a virus or similar for that matter (this is my first game), so nothing to worry about I hope.
