I might be planning awesome gay game~ MAYBE. (I am, but no one will see it for forever~)

Could you tell me about it? Any details are fine. Please! UNI WANTS TO KNOW XD

Hmm, lots of posts since I last posted.

First of all, Unity thanks for the quick response and the fix. Some day if I have enough time I might replay this game on Hard, and if so the changes will be helpful. And even if I don't, they'll be available for others.

You're very welcome! And thanks again for finding those errors! I did a double take when I realized that the monsters wouldn't respawn XD;;;

Now, regarding the cast and the double yuri romances, I don't really have an issue with either.

Yes, the cast is all women. But there are plenty of games with all (or mostly all) dudes, and overall the video game industry is still lacking a bit when it comes to quality games with decent female protagonists (I mean specifically female protagonists, not games that let you completely customize your avatar in all ways). This is also really a bit of an issue that goes beyond video games, but I digress.

So there's nothing wrong with a game focused on women and relationships between women. Heck, it's kind of nice to see.

And same thing with the yuri romances. If there was a game with two het romances, I don't think anyone would bat an eye. Well, I say "if", but there are plenty of games that do have multiple het romances. Change Chisa and Karuna to guys, and no one would think them both having romances would be a "gimmick," or that Luxaren Allure needs some special warning to let people know there is more than one het romance in the game.

It would just be a game with a bit of a focus on romance, nothing more.

Yah, people can point out that in the real world, there are more straight people than gay/bi people, but this is a fantasy game with magic and dark lords and nagas, a work of fiction, and there's no reason it has to conform to real world demographics.


I do think there is a fair point that there aren't exactly a lot of games focusing on gay men and their relationships out there. There is a serious lack there.

And I also think that, in the AAA gaming world especially, companies may be more likely to include female x female romances than male x male romances. The reason being the stereotypical straight guy reaction to them. IE two dudes kissing: "GROSS!", two girls kissing: "HOT!" I definitely wonder how much of a role this played into stuff like the very first Mass Effect having a lesbian romance, but it not being until the 3rd game that there was a gay romance.

But, well, that's another issue entirely. The lack of gay men in video games IS an problem, but it's not the fault of free RPG maker women-focused lesbian RPGs. A game like Luxaren Allure isn't the problem. (Rather, it's part of the solution to a different problem).

Anyways, I may have rambled on a bit, hope it what I said makes sense.

It all made sense to me, and thanks for saying it! I feel the same way; if I'm making a fantasy world, it can be whatever suits the story. I also didn't want the world to be as prejudiced as our own world. Karuna's love is weird because she's in love with the person who became the evil overlord, it's not weird that they're both women.

Chisa has a hard time dealing with Merel's affection because of how Chisa sees and values herself, not because they're both women.

Heck, Lynette doesn't like Chisa and Merel's relationship, not because they're both women, but because it contrasts her ideal relationship; she pines for her perfect fairytale of finding a beautiful princess she could rescue and romance, all the while believing that she'll never find a person like that so she's better off alone. There's some insight into her if you were curious ^^;;

But anyway, yes, I'm not ashamed of what I've made here, and there are people who want that sort of thing and enjoy it, and there are people who aren't looking for that sort of thing and still enjoy it, so I think I did alright ^_^

Hi I have one last question you see am kind of a completionist in video games so with out spoilers are there a lot of missables in this game i see there are a lot of crafting items and that is great but am worried i'm going to miss a really item needed to make a item should i be worried about that or is nothing missable till that point of no return i heard about if that is the case i really hope there is something that tells me when i get to the point of no return.

You may want to check the Tips and Tricks sections about the locations of the eight pieces of Crystallized Hope, then. Keep in mind that even if you miss a piece or two, there are ways to get them even if you can't backtrack.

The only other big miss-able item is the Thessalonite, in the Watery Depths dungeon under the beach of Springsmouth. That's a tricky one, though, as the Watery Depths are already taxing on their own, and you have to find a key down there that opens a special door and then complete a difficult tidal maze to get the Thessalonite.

As for points-of-no-return, the one at the end of the game is clearly marked, with an information book stand that tells you that you may want to make a separate save before continuing.

There are two other points where you can no longer back-track, however. The first is after you exit the Cavern of Swirling Sands and jump down the ledge after the exit. The other is after you leave the Queen's Mushroom Forest after Hotenshin.

Good luck ^_^

;u; Thank you so much, Nedras! I'm so happy that you like it! :DDDD
And, super cute avatar, by the way ^_^

Haha unity has TOO MANY projects for the future! :D

Also I am pleased as punch to see LA have this much popularity! GO UNI!

I have uploaded a new version where the final boss's last form has 15% less HP. If anyone's currently having trouble with that boss, you can download the new version and move your files over for a little bit easier of a fight.

I'm so MLG I beat the whole game, even Haathalek, before all these nerfs.

Did you make any changes to the last boss from when I played it? I didn't have much trouble with it.

To me, the difficulty really depends on your character's equipment. The gear you make with alchemy will turn pretty much every boss fight into a cakewalk. I gave Chisa the Healer's Impulse and Passionate Ring, and that alone meant I didn't have to worry about status ailments at all.

Aside from that, I beat the game at level 53 average on Normal, so maybe I grinded a bit too much when I was testing it. Overall though, I thought the final boss was perfect the way it was, assuming nothing changed before release.
