Oh shit, this game got a TvTropes article that I didn't make (did it once, too lazy to link a hundred things again).

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/MemoirsOfABattleBrothel

I'm finally notable! Wikipedia when?
Well done Binky! Now if only the game goes on sale, I might possibly play it.

It's on sale a fair amount. I'll make a post next time it's on sale again.

Binky. Why do you have to beat up Zafria to get into her pants BTW?
Did you watch Red Sonja?
Lmao as though the dude will watch any movie which doesn't have a haggling scene.
I do like haggling. However, the movie versions of haggling are unrealistic since a wise merchant will always keep themselves in a position where they don't have to haggle.

Yes. I've watched it.

So wise merchants don't like haggling
That's we win before the customer gets any chance to haggle. Instead of paying 250% markup, we'll sell it to you for only 200% because today is a special day. It works like magic on the goyim.

Here's my mini review after a few hours:

+ Combat and tactics stuff is cool
+ RPG stuff and world building seems solid
= Prose is alright
= Anime thots are well presented so far as that thing goes
= Erotica stuff seems probably well done if you're into that
+ You can skip sex scenes by not engaging or bypassing them in each instance I've come across so far
+? The animated sex "illustrations" are straight :prosper: it's kind of a positive because they're cringe-hilarious, but I think the game would be objectively better without them
+ At least one dialogue option actually made me laugh out loud.

Solid. Too bad your non-hentai stuff wasn't selling.

Oh yeah, Tyranicon there are still a few blurbs in the UI about being a WIP or future implementation, etc.

Is that intended or was it just missed?

Oh yeah, I did the stupid thing of leaving a bunch of WIP notices everywhere without marking where they were, so I'm still cleaning them up.

Not doing that again.

Tyranicon does this feature any toilet centric quests/action?

There's gloryholes which kinda count I guess.
are they part of gameplay? Or just pixels/txt descriptions?

Depends what you mean by gameplay. You can earn some money doing them IIRC. :smug:

It doesn't show up in the autocomplete for me, but when I actually press enter it shows up just fine in the search results.

Yeah, im logged in.
something shady is going on. Its on my wishlist, always had. But it is not displayed on it.
However, if I apply filter inside wishlist for its name - it will show.

followed up on:
It doesn't show up in the autocomplete for me, but when I actually press enter it shows up just fine in the search results.
and indeed I can see it there, except with tag:
1 exact match, censored based on your preferences.
so I followed the line up to options that so far I had on defaults. After enabling explicit content on store it now shows on both autosuggest and full search.
I assume they changed something recently.

1 thing remain though, even after changing my settings it still doesnt show up on wishlist. As such Im missing discounts from now on? Thats quite annoying

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Being sent to the boonies by the corp left me with some time on my hands, so I finally got a chance to play it. As I'm something of a :obviously:connosiéur:obviously: of porn games and this has been in my backlog for quite a while, I took the plunge.

All in all, I liked it quite a bit! What you managed to squeeze out of the engine is nothing short of impressive. It felt like there was a fair bit of reactivity within the dialogues, and the stat checks were really nice to have.

It did lag like crazy on my all-terrain rig, and I experienced a fair amount of freezes/ crashes. The first I can blame on the machine being a junker that should be long dead, and the second was luckily mostly offset by autosaves. Still, I was worried about my progress every now and then.

It's more of a game with some porn than a porn game, though. Unless I missed a fair bit of content, there was little of it available other than a few scenes with the main cast (which mostly become available at the same time), plus four or so additional scenes. Letting my inner degenerate out - I've been hoping for some more, a bit more evenly spread around the ~10 hrs I put into the game, maybe with a bit more variety sprinkled in. The few pieces of artwork that were available were nice.

Mechanics felt somewhat imbalanced. The titular brothel mostly sits in the background, generating some passive income. Its most important use is improving the statistics used in dialogues - otherwise, there are, I think, two scenes being unlocked by adding new expansions and that's it. Class-wise, soldiers and vigilantes felt great to use, with shapers being hit or miss (literally - they seemed to miss very often, but their spells packed a wallop), and supports' main use being some combat healing and SP regeneration. Summons felt rather weak across the board, for whatever it's worth.

The world was surprisingly large, but felt somewhat underutilized. Might be my brain rot speaking, but when I see an RPG Maker game, I start licking the walls and looking for secrets like it was Wolfenstein again. I think you've mentioned that an expansion is on its way - not sure if you're planning to add more areas or fill out the ones that are already there, but if I could cast my vote it'd go for the other.

The writing was great, and I really enjoyed how the dialogues flew. Sexytimes were written nicely as well! The main story was mostly relatively nicely grounded, with a sudden escalation at the end - fair - followed by an even greater escalation in the last few minutes. It felt like it could've been left for a potential sequel, but I'm not going to teach anybody's grandma how to suck eggs.

Also, I've been really hoping the end of act 1 to be more of an Aerith dies situation. Nothing against the characters involved, just thought it'd be quite ballsy.

Looking forward to the DLC!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

There won't be any DLCs but there is a full sequel about vampires and a stealth (parody) sequel in the works, the latter of which is coming out at the end of this month. They both have codex threads:

Vampire Syndicate: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...nfall-isometric-cyberpunk-vampire-rpg.141452/

Baldr's Squid Isekai: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/baldrs-squid-isekai-a-parody.148458/
