Decayed Ethics is a project that I have been actively working on for the past couple years starting from absolutely Nothing, save for my drawing skills and coding in Python...

This project started out as a long dream I once had when I was a teenager, then I wrote it down in a book format when I was 16 (I still have it and it is still unpolished as that day.)  I wanted to do this as a Visual Novel at first since I felt I was pretty good at drawing, until I found This site.

I had to shift gears because there were WAY too many visual novels already and Mine would have just been lost in that sea, what hasn't been as frequent on this site are Adult RPGs.  Literally not that many at all.  Even more so every one of them are extremely short, limited or small in map size plus art style being well good enough.  So that was my goal, turn my book into an  Adult RPG.  From there I had thoughts about if I should make real time weather and daylight cycles and it grew and grew and grew.  Implementing as much as I can with my limited amount of coding/ scripting skills is what broke Alpha 0.5.0.

Now 1 year and 3 months later or so I learned from my mistakes on the technical side for this Beta build.  But I also unfortunately saw my game was Pirated off this site and it hurt me.  Traffic dropped significantly and people weren't downloading or playing after many updates...  I tried asking the filthy pirates to remove that old build from their site only to be told pretty much "Ha, F- you were going to take whatever we want." Even stated that piracy doesn't hurt indie developers...  They are Literally being Paid to Host OUR games Siren's $6 game is free over there and claims to be the most up to date version...  

 Because of that I became hesitant about uploading my project any more...  

I worked my ass off for 2 almost 3 years now getting better at map designing, scripting, coding, drawing and storyboarding to make this game.

I purchased all of the tools present including plugins which I used to learn about the Engine even more.  Being an Indie Developer (be it Solo (like Me) or a small group) is NOT easy or relaxing.  Especially not for the ones who want to deliver the best version  of their work...  

So I made the decision that the public version will be the Censored one from now on.  And I will focus on advertising That build.  I have also made the decision that I will update it infrequently so people will be more inclined to play the Uncensored version which will be updated far more frequently and much more polished than the public build.  I hate doing it this way, but my game being pirated really messed me up...

What changed from the Alpha?

Fixed almost ALL tile sets, tiles that are solid are now solid meaning the player will no longer phase through walls. Tiles that inflict pain will now do so AND kill the player.

The overworld map size increased to fit 9 Continents and 11 islands. (100 x 100 making it the biggest map available) 

Added Yearly and Weather Cycles (Every 1 frame generated is 5 in-game seconds) And weather is Location based.

Added Icelynn (Who replaced Toya)

Added Crystal (Who replaces Rin if the player makes Rin an Enemy)

Added 7 Quests so far making 12 in total.

Added 100 Maps (Cities, Villages, Houses, Caves.) 

Programmed 30 enemies and 33 enemy combinations. 

Updated the Enemy's Growth Formula (Probably still needs tweaking.)

Programmed Hundreds of interactable NPCs.

Added an Evil path

Added a Nude path (At beginning of game only)

Added a few images for NPCs and Crew Members including nude models.

Patched the No dying from enemy hits when running away from them.

Patched slipping damage NOT killing the player character.

Patched falling damage from not killing the player character.

Added Weather system as well as respawn system for certain enemies.

Current Plans:

Flush out the Evil path so Players will have more freedom to commit Certain Crimes in the game.

Polish up the first continent and fill it with a few more quests before opening up the 2nd.

Add a few more intercourse scenes with random NPCs as well as Crew members.

Get better at drawing Men in general for above reason.

Keep bodily proportions of drawings (No silly large tits or impossibly large penises.) 

Add Gunslinger to 2nd Continent as a Crew member, but may introduced her in the 1st.  (Trans or Futa haven't decided.)

Add more scenes with Native Auroreans in mind.

Of course add more Story elements maybe hidden lore for the player to find.

May implement easter eggs.

Fill the cities with interactable NPCs

Make the Quest Journal easier to understand.

Work on holding the Player's hand a little more (Make hints directions more obvious.)

MAY dumb the game down a little bit for the casual players. 

MAY make the intercourse scenes easier to unlock for Lover Routes.

Flush out Aurora's Weather patterns including implementing Auroras during the Night.

Thank you for reading.  The only version that will be updated the most will be the Paid Version as the Public version will not receive as frequent updates.  Also if you wish to be on top of Decayed Ethic's Development please check out the Tiers as they will have Decayed Ethic's Official Discord link.  That is where you will be able to interact with me either in real time (Private drawing streams. Or chat.)  and enjoy other rewards.  (Must be 18 years or older to participate, purchase and enjoy Decayed Ethics and its affiliated contents.)
