Wolves are a very weak enemy so most teams can very easily clear it. Also its not meant to be cleared instantly after unlocked so if you haven't, just progress a few stages and you'll be able to do it.
I don’t understand the vibe of gacha games. But I know for sure that their foundation is solid and enjoyable gameplay. In my opinion, the jrpg component in this project is poorly executed. The battles are routine and monotonous. In a fetish game, I’d prefer to see full‑fledged art of girls and monsters during combat, rather than their chibi versions. I think the attacks and abilities need more impact, and all the fighters on the field need fewer HP. There is a lack of control and variability in leveling up the heroines. And I’m not talking about visual diversity, but about managing their stats. This is not just about choosing your own gameplay style, but about the possibility of creating an emotional connection with the character. I also consider the absence of exploration elements to be a serious oversight. No good JRPG, starting from the very oldest ones, has ever allowed itself to do something like this. Despite all of the above, I respect the game’s author and really appreciate his two previous projects (it’s a pity that neither of them reached a completed state). And I consider his art to be among the best in the entire FMG community. I’m impressed by how much the latest project has progressed since the first version was made available to the public. I’ll continue to follow it and I’m sure it will evolve into one of the best FMG games!
The game isn't really supposed to be a JRPG, but it can be seen as such I guess. I'd say what you feel is relevant and I know that the gameplay is not perfect, but I am a solo developer so I can't just implement all the systems needed for it to feel complete and good. The artwork style, while not ideal, I'd say works better than just showing their full portraits. Due to how I've designed combat to be based around the position of a character on the field, it would be difficult to make the full portraits have good visibility. You can already see them on the side.
I know currently combat feels a bit sluggish due to the larger than usual HP pools, but that is intentional in the sense that I have plans on reducing the amount of times you need to play the same stages.
For stats, I don't want to give freedom to players with stuff like items and any sort of powerups. I have three reasons for that. First, it doesn't really make sense lore wise. Second, it is not in the ability design philosophy I have. Third, I want to give the vision of the character I have with their given stats. While it would probably be fun to customize them in some way, I do think its going to be a hindrance in the long run. At least if its done in a very freeing way. I am not saying that there won't be another power up mechanic in the game, but it just won't be very free for you to customize.
Exploration isn't really a gameplay focus of this game and I don't see why it should be. As I said, I don't focus to make a JRPG - just a game with a gacha system for collecting lots of muscular girls.
I know it is a shame to see my past two games not being actively developed. Expanding Horizons just got too complicated to develop as I was a novice programmer and the spaghetti code just piled on and on. As for Growing Explorations, I still intend to do one final update to finish it off. Don't know when that will be
I am glad you like the game and I am very happy you enjoy the art! Takes quite a bit of time to make it. This project will continue to progress, but be on the lookout of something new incoming too in the (hopefully) not too distant future. (Doesn't mean this game will be deprecated though)
I really appreciate your comment and all the feedback you've given! I'll for sure make use of it when developing the game! Thank you!
Sorry if it has been suggested already but have you thought about adding a bad ending cutscene to some of the main bosses like xaraziel if you lose to them? like a what if they won and maybe they get to grow and all that
Yeah but I mean as just a something extra before the game over screen, something like the mid battle cutscene where they grow. No need to change the story just a small cutscene showing them win and maybe grow a bit more and then cut to the game over screen.
Yeah I understand what you mean and no, it won't ever come. This doesn't comply with the rules I have for the main storyline. Also the bosses growing further just for a scene like that won't happen even if something like this is added (it won't be).
Would it be possible to grant every character a second opportunity for growth, and Hyper‑type characters an additional third chance? I wonder if this could be implemented. After all, the other character are equally endearing.
Sadly no. It would just add too much extra to be made for each character. Only Hyper and Prime characters will grow, with a few exceptions though - some Ultras will get an "alternate" image for their grown stage.
Alright, even though there are some disappointments, thank you for getting back to me. I’m also grateful for everything you’ve contributed to the FMG community. Wishing the game all the best going forward!
I am sorry to disappoint! It has been asked by a lot of people but it sadly won't be possible to have. Thank you for the kind words and I will strive to improve the game further in the future! Stay tuned!
All Hyper characters + Narrator-chan who is the patreon exclusive character. In general all Hypers and Primes will be able to do it. Currently Tio doesn't as she doesn't have her potentials, which will be gained in the story as it progresses and at some point you will see her grow too.
There are diffferent conditions to each growth though, so you should read their passives to find that out.
Is there some kind of guide available? Having a really hard time beating level 1-12. Got a party of level 40s and am getting smoked every time I try it. But I can't get any hearts if I can't beat this level, so this is as far as I can level my girls. I guess the party makeup may not be good, but clearly I'm having a hard time figuring out which classes are best to use.
That stage has been difficult for some people in the past too, but has been repeatedly and heavily nerfed to be much easier. You should be able to clear it easily with a team with characters like Maria, Valerie, Laura, Camila, Tio and whoever else you may like. You just need strong DPS characters and you're good.
I tried a party of Tio, Valerie, Laura, Camila, Braga, and Helena (I don't have Maria). No luck. I can't outpace the damage they do and I can't even make a dent in Xazariel's health. She and that overpowered nun just fry my team.
It is indeed hard to do it with this team, though I did it after a few manual tries, just focusing the demonlings with the melee units while the others focus on the nun, then start going after Xazariel. For the easiest clear I recommend you just pull maria and make her level 40. Also as I see you are commenting on the 1.1.5 version post? The enemies in the stage as a whole were quite heavily nerfed in 1.2.0, so if you are on the older version you should try the update.
You have a counter until you hit the next Hyper character above the recruit button. If you want to get specifically her, then recruit on the second banner by pressing the arrow on the right of the screen when you open the recruitment menu.
As for a combo, you can use Tio + Vionne, as thats quite a strong one. Another character that might be useful is Irina as she can target the Nun. If you pulled Nady instead of Maria, she is quite strong too, so you can also use her too.
I have all these characters at level 40, I attack the nun first and prioritise the demonlings with melee units and STILL can't beat this level. My version of the game is 1.2.1
You should be able to pretty easily beat it. They were even further nerfed in the latest version so it shouldn't really matter who you use for that if you have any solid DPS unit. Tell me what your team is and I might be able to guide you a bit.
I assume you are on android as it is the platform with most such issues. If you are you should just switch back to the game after the page freezes after you press allow and it should work.
Is usually works, so I won't be touching it anytime soon. You should follow the steps I told you if you are on Android: Open the game -> Click 'Authenticate' -> In the webpage click 'Allow' -> Switch back to the game even if the page doesn't load further
If you are on any other platform (Windows, Mac, Linux), you will need to tell me what you do and what exactly happens, as it hasn't been reported that it doesn't work there.
Hi Faustto. Question: I'm seemingly stuck at the R-1 12 wolves stage. I have a full party of level 40 characters and don't have an option to advance beyond the stage. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Fun game. Now to wait for more story and more girls.
Twelve wolves is way too many for what I assume is an early farming stage.
Wolves are a very weak enemy so most teams can very easily clear it. Also its not meant to be cleared instantly after unlocked so if you haven't, just progress a few stages and you'll be able to do it.
Ah. Gotcha.

Well bad scenes wouldn't really make sense as you techically don't loose to them. The game follows a linear story so such branches don't work for it.
Yeah but I mean as just a something extra before the game over screen, something like the mid battle cutscene where they grow. No need to change the story just a small cutscene showing them win and maybe grow a bit more and then cut to the game over screen.
Yeah I understand what you mean and no, it won't ever come. This doesn't comply with the rules I have for the main storyline. Also the bosses growing further just for a scene like that won't happen even if something like this is added (it won't be).
Ok I figured I would shoot my shot just in case. The game is great, keep up the good work
Suggestions are always welcome! I am sorry it won't work out but still thank you for suggesting!
Would it be possible to grant every character a second opportunity for growth, and Hyper‑type characters an additional third chance? I wonder if this could be implemented. After all, the other character are equally endearing.

Amazing game, I can't wait for more massively powerfull girl
Thank you, glad to hear you like it! More big girls are coming!
To the Second Growth, what characters can do it in this versión and how i use it? I have Nady
All Hyper characters + Narrator-chan who is the patreon exclusive character. In general all Hypers and Primes will be able to do it. Currently Tio doesn't as she doesn't have her potentials, which will be gained in the story as it progresses and at some point you will see her grow too.
There are diffferent conditions to each growth though, so you should read their passives to find that out.

That stage has been difficult for some people in the past too, but has been repeatedly and heavily nerfed to be much easier.

Also as I see you are commenting on the 1.1.5 version post? The enemies in the stage as a whole were quite heavily nerfed in 1.2.0, so if you are on the older version you should try the update.
I don't know why it shows I'm commenting on 1.1.5, because I am playing 1.2.
Does Maria have a extremely low drop rate? Because she is just not showing up in any of my pulls.
If I can't get Maria, is there another party combo you could suggest?
You have a counter until you hit the next Hyper character above the recruit button. If you want to get specifically her, then recruit on the second banner by pressing the arrow on the right of the screen when you open the recruitment menu.

Thanks for replying. My team is: Maria, Valerie, Laura, Camila, Tio and Vionne.
Its a pretty strong team so I don't know how you are not clearing it.
Well the backup save thing is pretty much useless on mobile because save files are stored in a folder that you cant access without root access. Great.
Well saving on Android has been broken since the launch of the game. I have been searching for a solution for this, but haven't found one yet.
hey i have trouble with the authentication its doesn't work to me
Have you logged into your Patreon account on your browser? As sometimes if you aren't and log in on the spot it doesn't authenticate as it expires.
i did but still doesn't work its take long time to reload but uts say failed
I assume you are on android as it is the platform with most such issues. If you are you should just switch back to the game after the page freezes after you press allow and it should work.
ok can you fix it after new update? so its will be fine?
Is usually works, so I won't be touching it anytime soon. You should follow the steps I told you if you are on Android:
Open the game -> Click 'Authenticate' -> In the webpage click 'Allow' -> Switch back to the game even if the page doesn't load further
If you are on any other platform (Windows, Mac, Linux), you will need to tell me what you do and what exactly happens, as it hasn't been reported that it doesn't work there.
where do i find the 2nd boss?
She is on the last stage currently available: 1-26
yep, i was stuck a bit on a level and it wound't progress, after closing and opening it did.
Love the new characters.
futa superiority
The first ever fmg gasha game . Say wallahi
If you skip the intro, Tio is never added to your roster, and you can't complete the tutorial.
You shouldn't be able to skip the intro.
Hi Faustto. Question: I'm seemingly stuck at the R-1 12 wolves stage. I have a full party of level 40 characters and don't have an option to advance beyond the stage. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
R-1 doesn't progress the story. You should play the other stages that are connected with lines to progress onward.
Oh I must have been distracted by 12 wolves vs 5. Thanks!
No problem
