Nova of Corruption vPublic Alpha 0.12a

:

Hello, travelers! My name is DarkestNavi, and welcome to "Nova Of Corruption, The Legend of the cursed Crown"
⚠This is still a Demo build, so you may encounter bugs or performance hiccups.
If you spot any, please don't hesitate to report back any CTD or save corruptions (provide the location where it happened, for faster update fix)

If you like the idea of the game please don't hesitate to support the developer

Game Migration: Nova of Corruption: Rekindled
What does this mean?
Migrating the game to a new engine means reworking development while keeping the same assets/content. This is a major step forward, eliminating known bugs and removing engine limitations for greater flexibility.

Final Decision: Unity!
After consulting developers and evaluating options, I narrowed it down to two engines:

• Unreal Engine: Familiar to me (I use it in my full-time job for film and CGI work, though without coding).,

• Unity: Smoother than UE, uses C# (which I understand), and most importantly I trust the developer handling the migration.,

Workflow :

• I’ll retain full project ownership, handling asset integration, animations, and final exports. - The developer will send patches for me to merge into the main project.,

A Huge Thank You to the OGs! Your support is crucial in speeding up this migration. thanks again to everyone who believed in this project from the very beginning ♥
Pls don't hesitate to drop any Feedbacks/Ideas, Stay tuned for the next release!

Q&A / Walkthrough / Spoilers :

Q&A :

What's the Game Fetish focus ?
The Future plans for this game is to give the player Freedom of choice so "YAOI" or whatever tag can be skipped if it's not in your field of focus
All fetishes will vary equally in the upcoming updates!
Current :
(Dark/BDSM), (Light/Straight), (Rock/Muscles), (Fire/Yaoi), (Arcane/Trans), (Wind/Footfetish), (Wild/bestiality) and more to come..

⚠ Heads Up!
This is still a Demo build, so you may encounter bugs or performance hiccups.
If you spot any, please don't hesitate to report back any CTD or save corruptions (provide the location where it happened, for faster update fix)

⚠ The Engine (VNM) is not made up For complex games as Roguelike, Cards game battle system builds.
So please in the meantime don't Smash/Spam buttons or the game will break easily.
If the game breaks please consider /reloading

⚠ Stuck on a Black screen? For now try the Following Steps and it should work :

• Re-open the game the engine will continue the loading where it's left (Give it a few minutes)
• Still stuck on a black screen? = Put the game /Dir in your System drive preferably SSD
• Still stuck on a black screen? = At the starting menu, Go to config and Put the game to windowed mode
• Set the game priority to high using "Task manager_Details"

*

The Game CTD what should I do ?
The Engine (VNM) is not made up For complex games as Roguelike, Cards game battle system builds.
(With enough support I'm planning to collaborate with a professional developers and migrate the game to more robust Gaming engine "Unity Or Unreal engine" in the Future).
So please in the meantime don't Smash/Spam buttons or the game will break easily.
If the game breaks please consider /reloading it and don't forget to report back to the Discord channel to help improve the gaming experience for evryone!

The Goal is the player Freedom!
I want to let everyone follow whatever path feels right to them, without forcing any particular Fetish/direction. (Act02 will be More Sandbox type of Run, More free Roaming & choices.
