Just started playing this for the first time. The guide isn’t very intuitive. Is there any advice on where the next powers are found? I just got speed

I've updated this thread with my latest version released earlier this week!

Many people requested some content with the mysterious Cypher character, and she's finally here along with new content with Jade!

This is a Lewd Corner semi-exclusive! It's TOO HOT FOR F95!!

The images in the game definitely intrigue me. Unfortunately, so many of the comments here talk about various hassles with how the game plays and pretty much saying it's not worth the effort. Your updates seem to ignore all of the criticisms completely. Any possibility of reworking the game? I don't have suggestions because I know nothing.

I'll be happy to test it if/when there's a Linux version.

The game runs on Linux and Steam Deck with some dependencies installed. I've been meaning to get a complete installation instructions put together for quite a while but have had limited time to dedicate to getting that put together.

The official Wiki has some guides but they are very very incomplete. Still, there's good instructions for getting Soul Steal, which is arguably tied for 1st with Speed Force for the most desired power. It's the one you need to start collecting all the girls.

There are any number of reasons someone might have reported issues with the game:

1. A bug introduced in the version they played that I didn't know about or fix yet.
2. Machine specs just not right for the game.
3. Player didn't follow instructions for installing the game (happens a lot).
4. Players expectations are for a RenPy-style visual novel with linear "gameplay" and don't want to have to explore or do anything for the rewards.

I provide the game for free here to help people who can't afford to support my work, or to let people try it and decide if it's worth sending me a few bucks to continue adding new content every month. I am one of the "good devs" who don't milk their game and go 6 months at a time while barely adding anything to their game simply because they already have 5,000 supporters. I work hard to bring fresh content to my supporters every month, often twice a month, and I do listen to feedback. Over the course of developing this game I've made countless changes and reiterations on game mechanics to make it better. Some people like the changes and others don't. There are a lot of supporters who do love the game just the way it is, but I acknowledge it's far from perfect and I'm always improving it.

You are more than welcome to try the game for yourself, hopefully with the understanding that it's not going to tell you everything that's out there for you to find and do. I'm working on putting together some better direction for players in-game, but honestly I don't make enough from my games to quit my other non-game-dev jobs, so when I am working on Kronos Time Titan I often feel like I want to do right by current supporters and give them more content to experience.

As for addressing issues, when people message me on the Discord channel with a specific issue they are having, I almost always take the time to work through the problem their having to figure it out. But when someone posts a fly-by that my game "sucks" or whatever, and they aren't willing to spend any of their time explaining to me what the issue might be, then I don't really have much to work with. Also, I only recently took over this thread when I noticed it wasn't being updated for months at a time. So I know there are like 3 years of posts from people about things that might not even be an issue with the game anymore. I can only do so much with the time I have here on earth.

Thank you for the compliment on my game images. I've worked really hard on making some cute girls to interact with. If you haven't tried it already, I did put out a RenPy port of one of the scenes called Itty Bitties. It's a direct port of the scene with the girl Summer. I had an idea to port more of the game over to RenPy and perhaps eventually do a complete rewrite in RenPy with slimmed down combat. Unfortunately, there was almost no interest in anybody wanting to support this endeavor. If some of my supporters started hitting me up asking for this, I would be far more inclined to put some time into that. But so long as supporters are begging for more content, that's probably going to be where my focus is.

Also, I don't know if you've heard about it yet but I have a farm life pixel sprite game called Dewdrop Blossom I've been developing that will be cross-platform. It's similar to Stardew Valley with less emphasis on deep farming mechanics and more emphasis on relationships and changing the town's laws so the player can marry characters that might be, we'll just say, a little less acceptable than normal. You can learn more on my Discord and Matrix servers.

First of all sorry for the developer because he probably heard what i'm about to write thousand of times but still i'm gonna say it. Although big respect to the dev.

Gameplay is garbage... Just why? Why did you make it like that The core game idea is fantastic that you can time travel and all the after times tied to the before so you travel back and forth. But travelling inside the timeline is garbage... You can easily make it a static map that you select where you go and the fights could have been turn based face to face.

I don't know if it is my mistake but you can't do much with girls in castle, only 3-4 of them in the castle rest is at the bottom square of at the castle which is weird and what's weirder is that there is another square bottom of the castle that holds other girls like why? Why 3 separate areas? And the actions are so limited.

The abilities you got is; literally you have dig through from walkthroughs otherwise you couldn't find out yourself... What is this? This game must be the most absurd game i played i don't even know how ppl liked it but it is what it is.

Dev should recondiser the gameplay otherwise i don't see a success out of this one. Again respect to the dev for the work but i had to say what i think.

@scarlettyoung Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your detailed reply! I didn't want my question to come off as criticism because I try to show appreciation for all of the devs making content for us. I know it takes a ton of your time to do this. A few minutes ago I played Itty Bitty. I definitely intend to try Kronos Time Titan at some point and I'd like to support your work. I need to reiterate how much I like what you're going for in the spoiler images. One of my fetishes is cum play / swallowing. Does your game feature much of that?

I appreciate your tactful approach to sharing your thoughts about my game. In the current culture of censorship in countries all over the world, it astonishes me how critical people choose to be about games which provide an outlet for their alt fetishes. They want solo indie devs, most of whom can't publish their games on 99% of the monetizing distribution networks out there, to produce AAA quality games with perfect gaming mechanics, and often reference in their minds a few successful examples as reasons why everybody should be making perfect games.

It would be wonderful if we had a gaming culture where devs working hard to provide content that mainstream players would consider obscene were supported and encouraged to keep going instead of being shat on. I'm one of the few who have taken criticism in stride over the years, and I genuinely have made a much better game over time even if it still can be clunky and awkward and ultimately not the game I wish it was. But I've seen countless devs try to make something they love just get completely trashed right off the bat.

Taste in art is subjective, and I think it's especially true for lewd games, because everybody has different fetishes, different moods, and different levels of "pursuit" they want to put into reaching the rewards in a game. Some people are out if they don't see a pair of boobs in the first 30 seconds of gameplay. Others like building up their power and options over time so they experience that part of the reward. Neither one is wrong, but I have noticed some people who don't get what they want the way they want it tend to be rather critical of other people's hard work.

Also, it doesn't help when the big boys are supported by the thousands and the ones trying to get their foot in the door or trying something new have to beg for scraps. Even if there's a dev I really like, I just don't support any of the big ones anymore. I personally only support the smaller lewd devs now to help give them a chance. If they get big, they won't really need me anymore, but when they are under 50, 100, 200, or even 500 I think it's worth giving them a chance. The people who bake burnt cookies will be just fine.
