[Kaeli's Apprentice] - RPG MV game in progress
 

Jan.15th 2021: Tiny update!
I have finally squashed the gender-swapping bug! At least I hope so. Download the new version and start a new game if you want to play through again, this time without reverting to the female sprite. In case it still happens for some reason, I have added a Gender Wand, which you will find in your room in the same drawer as the healing amulet. (In your room in the game, sadly not in your actual room in real life.) Use it at your own risk, and however you like - it should also work in case you want to swap back and forth, just like in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
As a little bonus, you can now talk a little with Kaeli, after you find the communication amulet. But only the "So..." option has anything in it. It's very much a work in progress.

Dec.21st 2020: Medium sized update :)
As promised, here's something to cheer you up before the end of this horrible year. Kind of a bigger sneak peek on what's to come in this game. Next big update will come in about three months. Now:
- I strongly recommend starting a new game, as I edited some stuff that happens under the hood right at the beginning
- you can finally progress past the portal scene. Please save your game right before entering the portal, as there's a choice you have to make after going through the portal that may or may not lock you out of one possible spanking scene. If you want to experience all of the new content, you'll want to try both options.
- you get to interact with Umma!
- after you find Leigh in the new location, you can either take Leigh or Umma with you as you explore (you can switch between them at the inn). Your companions have different reactions to what happens, and offer different paths to solving things. This will be used extensively in the future, but for now you can at least have a taste of it :)
- romance with Leigh and Umma is almost fully implemented, but you won't get to see all of it, which is how it should be, otherwise there'd be no surprises for later ;)
- you'll get to talk to Kaeli again in this update
- there's a list of spanking scenes available that I added to the main folder, and I will copy it here too. Check it out if you want to get all the spanking content :)
- beware, there will probably be bugs, and some areas are empty as of now. Save often.

Kaeli's Apprentice v0.4.2


Sep.8th 2020: BIG UPDATE :)
In this updated demo, you'll get to:
- choose flavour: more female spankers, more male spankers, or the original mixed version (Now you don't need to get spanked by a gender you don't like to be spanked by, yay!)
- choose a non-binary player character, if you so desire
- talk to Leigh whenever you want! As you guys suggested, I have implemented a Talk option, accessible through the menu. Leigh now has a lot to say about a lot of things ;)
- have a fun spanking scene with Leigh, whenever you want! As long as it happens in the punishment cellar, that is. Eventually, when your romance stat is high enough, this fun spanking scene can escalate into something more sexual, if you wish (I think that's not possible in the demo yet, unless you cheat, but maybe I'm wrong.)
- experience three new spanking scenes, one of which might or might not include tentacles (and some, um, probing content)

Hello again!
As promised, I am working on the sequel to 'A Servant's Tale', and finally I think I have something to show for it :) You don't need to play Servant's Tale, I think, to understand what's going on. You're an apprentice to a mage, currently living at a Mage College. The story goes from there, nothing important to know. Here's the first game if you want to play/replay it: https://animeotk.com/forum/showthrea...ete-36587.html

Now for the exciting part! This game (and also this demo) allows you to switch genders- of MC as well as three other characters. That's right! There's M/F, F/M, F/F, M/M.

AND you can romance any or all of the three main characters, too! You can't see it much in the demo so far, but I am already about 20 percent in on the next big update, so hopefully you won't have to wait too long for that (touchwood).

The spankings are still only audio. I am slowly beginning to work on some images to add, but don't hold your breath - I personally rather like to let my imagination do all the work, so adding pictures isn't a priority atm.

The gender switching was made possible (and relatively easy) by a plugin that my amazing spouse wrote for me. If anyone is interested in using the plugin in their game, let me know in a PM :)

I haven't been able to test everything as much as I would like, so there might be a few bugs here and there, hopefully nothing major. Please let me know if you find anything and I'll fix it asap.

so before I play the game, I want to let you know that somehow the sound effect "decision 1" was removed from the sound effect list, and the "ok" sound effect under system had last its sound attached to it, making the game when comparing it to other RPG maker MV projects eerily silent. I would recommend fixing that almost immediately, as its almost impossible to play through with that nagging sensation. Luckily since I found it, I fixed mine, and if anyone else also has RPG maker MV they can fix their own as well.

EDIT: another thing I found is the dressers, the ones that are 3 blocks tall, in like Cyran's room, and others such like it, can't be walked in front of or behind. The solution is to go in to the tileset section of the database, find the correct map file associated with the room, (in this case Inside Bedroom Plus), and manually mark the bottom tile of the dresser with O so you can pass in front of it, and the top tile of the dresser with * so you can walk behind it.

Ha, interesting. I removed the sound on purpose as it was a bit harsh on my sensitive ears during play testing. But I have put it back in now, for your gaming pleasure ;)

I have also made it possible to walk behind the tall dressers. (There's nothing there, but I understand that people don't like being needlessly limited.)

I love this continuation of the game and its story! I know how difficult for me it would be personally to make up the story AND make it into enjoyable game for spanko would be impossible so I appreciate it greatly��
Love the option to choose genders of characters, and the fact that you can make romantic relationships is awesome!
For me the only important sound I need is the spanking sounds but I understand the feeling doesn't have to be mutual.
Overall I'm loving this game and can't wait for more content, I think it's very well thought out and will have you hooked for more. Minor bugs can always be fixed and I haven't find much at all. P. S.: Only thing... don't forgot to save as I always happen to do that �� and regret it later.

This looks really good so far. I love the setting and characters plus the different genders are a really nice way to make it enjoyable for everyone.
It's surprisingly bug free for the early stages of game too, only thing I found were some walls with paintings you could walk into.
I have two small annoyances but both are really more on me than the game. 1 I seem to accidently choose dialogue options more than in other games and can't figure out if and how they're different. 2 The reactions of the main character to punishment spankings and to willing spankings are very similar. I find it a bit weird that we tell the guy in the library we want to be spanked hard and then act as if were hating it. It's different for willing punishments of course but the interactions with him don't seem like that. In that regard I liked the interactions with the two doms im the inn in the first game, even when asking for punishment there was allways a line or two saying the main character was enjoying herself.
But these are just things that annoy me personally and there very minor, it's still an amazing project and I'm looking forward to more.

Thank you very much for your comment! I am happy you enjoyed it :)

Awesome game! I love how you can get your friend into all sorts of trouble.

Huh..? My friend gets me in trouble all the time...
Very nice game, tried to play it F/m only, also made my friend female.
Unfortunately, there are still some masters...
But compliments to all the work into this game, text and humor are nice!
Well done and will certainly continue playing!

The demo is very well done. Will there others like the guy in the library that we can ask to be spank? At the end of the demo are going have more party members?

What a wonderful concept! I couldn't stop playing until I had done everything and gotten to the end of content. Can't wait for more!

Thank you for your feedback! Both of your complaints are valid. The thing with accidentally choosing options might be that I keep forgetting to disallow the escape option for dialogues - then when you press escape, the game chooses for you, usually the first option. I hate that too. I just need to remember to disallow it every time.
The reactions - maybe this is partially because I actually like to get spanked to the point where I hate it. But I will see if I can include a nice fun/erotic spanking too, or adjust the reactions with Patrigue and other fun spankings. :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you :) In the future I might let players flip the genders of the male masters :) for now I hope you can at least avoid the spankings that you don't want to get...

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

Thank you! :) yes, there will be others for sure :) and right at the point where the demo ended, the genie from the lamp joins as another party member. Umma and Leigh don't necessarily get along so you can only have one of them with you at a time, but you can switch between them fairly easily. Since they are very different personalities they offer different paths and ways to solve quests. Umma will also spank you if you as much as breathe wrong, so I think that's gonna be fun :))

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

This makes me so happy! Thank you. I am also planning to write a brief walkthrough - soon (I hope) you'll be able to check if you discovered all the content of the demo :)

I'm the same way, I to get spank till it hurts like hell, glad you have the mc gender swap cause I'm a big fan of f/m spanking.
Theres one bug I found is that when your in mistress room before talking Leigh. You can click on the book and the dialogue comes up like she us there.

Came here to make the same comment as deadp. If you snoop around your Mistresses room after she leaves on her trip, and look at the book, your friend has a conversation with you even though you have not gone to her room yet.

this is a really amazing game! I like it very much!

Bug find: If you spank Leigh at the basement and choose "You didn't save me from Mayla" - after spanking scene you get a black screen forever.

Thanks! :) The bug should be fixed now.

Fixed :) Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Thank you! :) The bug should be fixed now. The screen should fade back in after you spank Leigh.

Wow Artsy, this is excellent work for such an early build. Thank you so much for sharing it! I love the amount of detail that's in it already... Super impressive.

that was fun. looking forward to more

how beautiful. can't wait to try it. thank you so much

The game is incredibly well done! I can't wait for more. Bug wise I only saw a couple parts where I walked on objects I shouldn't have been able too, like the book in the last room. I also like all the little hints at possible ways to get in trouble in the future when everything is more fleshed out. There are so many opportunities that I didn't expect, and missed on the first play through. It feels like most of the rooms have a way for a spanking to happen to you or your companion.

So much fun!
 

I love this so much! Thanks for making it so adaptable!!:D

This was amazing! I can't believe you managed to get so much content done, and so well! I played the m/f route and found no bugs. Also, I may or may not have spent a lot of time with patrigue �� more of that please!

Thank you! I love little details in game so I hope to add lots more in the future :)

Thank you! :) Hopefully I'll have a bigger update ready in about two weeks :)

I hope you will like it/liked it! You're very welcome :)

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Thank you so much! Ah yes, my favourite bug, the walkable objects,I keep forgetting those. I really hope to create a game full of opportunities and little hidden treats :)

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Aw, thank you! :) You're welcome! A huge part of the adaptability is thanks to the plugin my husband wrote. He seems to be interested to write more plugins with me in the future, so who knows what else we come up with :)

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Thank you so much for your comment! A bug free playthrough is a very good playthrough indeed (and lucky lol). Happy you liked Patrigue, I had fun writing him! I will definitely add more "for fun" spankings in the future. :)

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Thank you for the bug report! Fixed :)

I absolutely love this game! The characters, the scenes, the writing... It's all superb! Somehow, it's even better than the prequel you made!

A lot of devs fall into the trap of making, like, 20 characters just for the sake of variety. I love the fact that you've constrained yourself to just a few. That means you can spend a lot of time developing these characters, and making the interactions you have with them feel more personal.

I can't think of any criticisms. The only things I can think of are stuff I wish the game had. E.g. I wish it had some wedgie content, as well as an equipment screen (like in Spanquest, for example, where characters would comment on what you're wearing).

But that's more in the line of wishful thinking :D Here's to hoping you have the time to finish this game, as it really is one of the best on this site.

Played a bit of the game, loved it, the characters are awesome!
You even fooled me with that sweet genie content, I got so intrigued that I played in the morning expecting a lot of scenes... but I was at the end of the demo, lol.

Also, it is a huge demo, lots of things to do!

The best thing? the party mechanic, few games implement this feature but I found it amazing!
You have done a really good work with that, if i have to make a suggestion... add a "talk" option in the menu to converse with your companions, just to add funny comments!
I suggest you to check "Cthulhu saves the world" for some cool ideas!

Can't wait for the next update, if really that genie gonna spank us for everything, it will be fun! Can't wait to discover how the stat is going to work... higher the stat, more frequent and harsh the spankings? Hope in won't reset after every scene.

About the initial choice about the deity.... it's just flavour, right? (I played the previous game more than once, so I "choose" all three gods lol)

Great, great, great work!

P.S.:I also saw the "romance" options... things will get interesting soon!

I just love this sequel as much as the original, excellent work, im loving Leigh too, even if my fav is still bidissima <3
Keep going with the game, it is pure gold.

Hey. Just wanted to say really liked the game. Really fun overall tone to the encounters.
And I second the suggestion of being able to talk to your companion. Chit chat or a butt status check without a mirror...complete with sympathetic or snarky comment depending on the person hehe.

Thank you so much! It is comments like these that keep me going! Knowing that my work is appreciated makes me code faster, haha :) I'll see if I can incorporate some wedgie material in the future :)

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Thank you, thank you!! Not just for the praise, but also for giving me some ideas :) I have implemented a talk option in the menu now, and in the next update (that should come around the end of the week) you'll be able to test it with Leigh :)

The Umma Annoyance stat - as it is now in my working version, you'll have a chance to lower it by getting punished for your misdeeds. High annoyance might make Umma less lenient in certain situations. But in general please don't expect too much of me, I'm just one beginner dev :))

The deity is just a flavour, yes. Or rather, it will offer some slight variation eventually. But it's really not important at this point.

I am happy you are enjoying the game so far! By the end of the week there should be an update - the story won't progress further yet but the demo will get some new content including the option to have more female or male spankers :)

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words more than I can express.
If you love Leigh you're gonna love the next update ;)

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Thank you! Yes, you guys have totally inspired me and by the end of the week there will be some chit chat with Leigh :)

Attention everyone, new version available!!! Doesn't progress the story yet, BUT now you can choose if you want the spankers to be (almost exclusively) female, male, or the original version. :) Plus three new scenes, one of which includes some tentacle porn. AND you can talk to Leigh now, any time you like :)

Wow!
 

[rubbing hands together] new *spanking* scenes?!

The new demo is good. I found one error when you spank Leigh for fun the mc say young man only if you make Leigh female.

Loving the game so far. All the scenes are great and varied. I'm in love with the plant and being able to choose what happens to, hope there is more like that.

Still haven´t played all of it but i got an error at the Varro Caning, choosing to get spanked by the maid, then letting Leigh scream, at the start of Fabi´s caning i got "Failed to load: img/faces/mag0s2.png"
Please look forward to it, i will keep playing to test the other context anyway.

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

Well, now i played the new content.


1-Facenlot's whipping was fun, i just love how you handle comedy in various scenes, you genuinely made me like Gary even being a random faceless character tho xD.


2-The plant was cool, im not into tentacle, yes, but you surely made it enjoyable for my taste with the many possible options to choose from, so i can technically say i enjoyed content from a fetish that i dont usually like thanks to your way of handling it, very much appreciated.


3-You were right, i loved Leigh's new content, the way of advancing romance iits a little simp-to-win with the dialogue choices or rng based with the flirt option, not that it is bad, just not what i expected. Maybe advancing Leigh´s romance with the number of events or scenes you get into, progressively forming the bond by doing stuff together, or getting romance points via the cellar "debt" spankings, i dunno, just ideas xD.


4-I liked to see that you care about the gender preferences and all, very cool stuff, some names dont work properly tho, like capriela/capriel switching to the female one when playing with the male option, i guess it happens with other characters too, but that´s just a small and almost unnoticable thing, just a little polish will solve you, honestly with the quality you are giving us with the game, i can't even complain, the content is good, the game is good.



Keep going with the hard work, cuz i can't wait to see this proyect finished.

Indeed, indeed! ;)

Thank you, found the bug and fixed it, will update in about half an hour :)

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

Happy to hear that :) Yes, I'll definitely try to add more interactive scenes in the future :)

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------



Thank you for the extensive feedback! :)
The bugs you found should be fixed in about half an hour, thank you for reporting them! I completely forgot to flip Capriella's gender for the male version in the spanking scene, now it should be ok.

1 - That makes me so happy! I consider myself primarily a storyteller so when someone appreciates that it totally makes my day :) Gary surprised me a bit, I wasn't planning on giving him a personality, but he wouldn't be silenced :))

2 - The fact that you enjoyed the tentacle plant even though it's not your thing is another wonderful compliment. Thank you! :)

3- I am not familiar with the term simp-to-win although I am vaguely aware that the word 'simp' is now gaining popularity again with a new meaning. I think that means I am old now :)))
Now, it would make sense to make the bond with Leigh progressively stronger based on events they go through together, but for that I think I'd need a new stat (something like Closeness) separate from romance. Because not everyone will want to romance Leigh, and I want to give players as much choice as possible. However, the way the romance advances changes a little. At the beginning of each romance, you sort of have to flirt your way to their attention. But once they're hooked, they will need a little bit more than just a few flattering lines. I am not that far yet in development but I am aiming for something like a special romance quest that will get unlocked once your romance stat is high enough.
I am currently working on Umma a lot (the genie that is not really present in the demo yet) and I am trying to make the romance with Umma feel a bit different. Umma values accountability and integrity, which means certain choices can make the romance stat go down, but once you admit your mistake and/or accept punishment, the romance can go up again. At least that's the plan.
The third romance, with Kaeli, should also feel a bit different.

Anyway, thank you for your support and appreciation and ideas :)

I'm the same I was never really I to tentacle foreplay but you made it different and I like it. With that in mind will you be able to get other people like get trap with the plant?

I must be doing something wrong. I have tried all kinds of different passwords with different masters to the golem and I keep failing? Is it case sensitive?
Tried Gorgeous, Eclipsidin, etc... no dice. Am i using the wrong PW or something?

I cant get tentacles to react at all. what can i do.

It is case sensitive. The password I used was Capriella's.

Hmm I dont recall Capriellas PW
