Download Release

The game is updated for patrons on the last Friday every month. The build will be made publicily available 2 weeks later (second Friday of every month). For Subscribers, the following additional builds are available:

DOWNLOAD Pre-Release Updates every week Friday 22:22 UTC, available to tier 10+ Isekais.
DOWNLOAD Daily Updates every day 20:20 UTC, available to tier Isekai Connoisseur+.

A changelog over all past release can be found HERE.
You can get a sneak peak on plans for upcoming builds HERE.

Summary

Follow Aura's adventure as she is thrust into the fantasy world of Roya. What she initially believed to follow the convential plotline of a "summoned to another world"-story quickly turns into her worst nightmare. Cursed by the Demon King, Aura must now struggle every night to track down her nemesis and ultimately strike him down. But her enemies don't just lurk in Roya. Having entered her mind through the Demon King's curse, another enemy attempts to brainwash and corrupt Aura from the inside. Faced with a two-pronged attack against her body and mind, can Aura finish off her worst enemy without losing herself?

Gameplay

Each ingame day is structured into 3 parts.

The player controls Aura and can explore the world of Roya to track down and kill the Demon King. In order to become stronger, acquire funds, and advance her search, she can rely on her own powers or ask people for help. However, not everybody means well with Aura. Performing lewd acts and compromising on Aura's ideals by allowing innocents to suffer causes Aura to gain corruption.
The player controls Alicia, who uses Aura's corruption to change her psyche. This includes changing her interests, increasing her interest in fashion, changing her appearance (including hair style/color changes), changing her values (making Aura more selfish), and ultimately changing her sexual desire and love interests.
The player watches cutscenes displaying Aura's real self changing over time due to mental corruption. The cutscenes are told from varying character perspectives (Aura, her best friend Rose, her boyfriend George, and so on).

Why Subscribestar

I am highly convinced in my vision of the game. I believe that Star Knightess Aura can be an experience where you can both root for Aura with all your power, or hunger to see her degenerate "into meat" as Richard would put it. While there are other corruption, NTR, moral degeneration, games out there, a lot of them do not scratch the emotional itch that I have been looking for. I believe Star Knightess Aura can do that!

But! Butttt!!!! BUTTTTTT!!!!!!

In order to do that, I need YOUR support. Commissioning additional workforce such as artists is difficult to pay for out of my own pocket. With your help, I think this can become one of the top h-games. That's how much I believe in this project and I believe that if you play the available material, you will quickly come to share this view!
Therefore!! Please give me your support! Let's achieve something great together!

Star Knightess Aura 0.43.0-prerelease-2

In this week's episode of Star Knightess Aura. Aura becomes Gyaru Hitler. :)

As mentioned in the project plan, this is another one of the many corruption focused weeks of the Chapter 3-B development phase. I focused on developing the scenes that get triggered through the corruption of the Selfishness Orb which I added last month but didn't follow up with any triggered scenes because I wanted to focus on the Purpose mental change to further the lewd story line.

The Social Ranking storyline triggered through this corruption, drives up Aura's disdain for the ugly and weak by 1000% and has her use all fan power she has been generating over the events in Chapter 3 to establish a trend where everyone with fewer followers needs to obey the ones with more. Why would they do that? Bullying and harrassment of course :)

On another story front, I have also continued on the

Laura Rebirth event sequence to the point where it ties into the Social Ranking one. One where Laura gets a taste of power after being the victim for so long --- And is now tasked by Aura to carry out punishments. :)))))

(That is after some more gaslighting from this week)

Sadly I didn't make it much further than this on that storyline since I needed to move further events after another major event for the Lewd Streaming storyline which also got some minor development this week and will be further pursued in dev week 4.

Then, the last Value Orb (Kindness) can now also be corrupted and has 1 scene that gets triggered by it. Doing the Kindess Orb corruption today was mostly a consequence of moving the follow-up Laura Rebirth scenes into the week 4.

And finally, as a minor detail, the Toll Bandit Leader got a minor power up. His first Bomb throw is now always an Aphrodisiac Bomb and if you get defeated, you will be given a second lewd check to accept giving a Blowjob. Just a minor roleplaying improvement.

For the full chaneglog including the public patch release, as usual, I defer to the changelog below. Next week: Beginning of the Charlotte corruption!

Star Knightess Aura 0.43.0-prerelease-1

First prerelease of the next update cycle! We continue as announced in the Project Plan Post May our push towards the corruption ending. Last update, all characters received their final turning point and have their stories now geared towards the ending. There is still quite some remaining distance though and we continue climbing that distance in this update!

First of all, we can finally start tackling the Identity Room in Chapter 3 by dealing with the "Purpose Question". Interact with it after corrupting all the red Value Orbs to start the process of completing the curse and making Aura's inner state fully accept the corruption!

This mental change progresses the repeat sex story line to the next level, making Aura cave to Richard's demands to stay longer and have sex into the night. A second source for the Tired state in other words! Furthermore, the mental change also immediately unlocks a new passive--

Life's Purpose: Pleasure Seeker attacks the ability to simply deal with all the Willpower debilitation by drinking Emerald Tea. Well, you can still do that, but now you need twice as much. Actually, probably even more as this passive disrupts all sources of Willpower restoration. That also includes the restoration when fulfilling Aura's desires from Womb of Lust or the Willpower regain after a pink scene. The 50% may get tweaked if it's not sufficient but I hope it is because it just technically works the best without creating too many "ugly" values.

Finally, I also made progress on the last batch of appearance mental changes. Don't jump up too high in expectation when you read the message in the scene that you unlocked all three remaining changes - Pink Highlights, Slutty Underwear and Tan.

Only Pink Highlights is implemented as of today. Originally, I wanted them to be a part of the popularity storyline (events that give +Fans) but in order to get Tan optional I felt it was better to move them to the Submission storyline (events that give +submission) of Aura changing herself to suit Richard's tastes. This way you can substitute the Tan mental change with the other mental changes, or just have more Submission build up from the repeat sex. Since the number of CGs on Earth that get affected by this is fairly small, we can afford some flexibility here.

Okay. That's it for the week! Full changelog with both internal and public patch changes below as usual. Next week: Laura storyline and the start of the "Social Ranking Order" (Name tbd :'D) storyline!

Changelog 0.43.0-prerelease-1 (03.05.2024)

Added mental change Purpose Question
Added mental change Pink Highlights
Added lewd scene Late Night Sex With Richard 1
Added lewd scene Late Night Sex with Richard 2
Added scene Hanging Out At Richards 2
Added scene Hanging Out At Richards 3
Added scene Going To Hair Salon 8
Added scene Dating Richard 6
Added lewd passive Life's Purpose: Pleasure Seeker
Increased max mental changes to 153

Balancing

None

Bugfixes

Fixed Unearth option at Jacob's house available before unlocking quest
Fixed books still not targeting correct actor under some circumstances
Fixed auto-corrupt on indecency not triggering properly
Fixed Power of the Horse tags showing MATK instead of ATK
Fixed Victor blocking Desmond if A Just Reward and Meeting Victor trigger at the same time

Star Knightess Aura Internal Release 0.42.0

Ahhhhh!!!! Its done it is done it is dooooooneeeee!!!! The first update of Chapter 3-B and probably the largest update on Earth Corruption content to date!! Phew, everyone on the team has been pushing pretty hard this month, so I'm really glad we finished in time.

And it's not just a matter of sheer number. Most of the scenes have a strong plot impact, character development, unlock new passives or otherwise accelerate the story towards its corruption finale. And then of course lots of developments like: INFINITE GEORGE SUFFERING! Slutty Clothing! Aura's resistance breaking down! Repeat sex on Earth! Maid George!

Have I already mentioned infinte George suffering?

I won't be going too deep in the usual summary post as I feel like that would be just retelleing of the events that happen in-game, so for the corruption scenes I will this time just do the numbers recap. Otherwise it's just too much :'D And then maybe talk a bit about the new passives and appearance changes that get unlocked along the way.

So, as usual, for in-depth development updates on the prereleases, check out the weekly devlog posts. Now, let's jump into the numerical overview of this major update! We have: 24 new Corruption scenes (!!!!!), 5 new lewd scenes (some of them just short repeat versions though), 1 new H-CG, 1 new character artwork, variations to two older CGs, 1 new quest+dungeon+boss, 1 new Compendium Category, 5 new mental changes, 6 new passives, and the usual bunch of little things!

Uff. Like I said, I won't be going through the new corruption content except for the teaser sentences above or else I would be sitting here tomorrow writing this update post :'D.

Instead, let us take a look at the new appearance changes and passive skills! With the new Slutty Clothes mental change unlocked at a high Fan-Count, we are approaching the final form of slutty Aura! (Also I have now managed to structure Chapter 3 in a way so that tan will be optional) Furthermore, as a more minor change, Aura also gets an upgrade in Underwear! I decided not to have a mental change for it, as the change itself seemed pretty natural at this point without needing any helping hand.

Then, for the lewd passives! Be careful from progressing too far into Chapter 3 before finishing your fight against powerful human enemies like Roland or you will have to deal with the Submission Fantasis passive! When fighting a Handsome (new enemy tag) Human, Male, Aura will start the battle fantasizing about sex during battle, giving her Aroused (Until Battle End), and Paralyzed (Until the end of the next turn).

Then, we have a set of mental changes that massively reflect Aura's increasing disinterest in having to save the ass of stranger's every night! Unlocked through the corruption of the Diligence 2 Value Orb, we have Learning Skills Sucks and Beauty Sleep is Important, both of them capable of adding the also new passive Lazy I/II.

Learning Skills Sucks is a passive I wanted to originally add earlier in the game but decided to move it back as it affects mostly learning Rank I skills at the Magic Academy due to its main effect of adding 1 Extra Learning Time when learning skills that take 3+ days to learn. I felt like adding it in the mid-game would potentially make it less interesting to do the Special Study. Now it feels a lot better and it most importantly hits learning Rank III skills. Furthermore, it also adds Lazy I on the day after finishing your training - "Haaahhhh... That was sooo boring... I think I worked enough over the recent days to take it easy today..."
Beauty Sleep is Important connects the Tired I/II passive to the Lazy I/II passive. After the day of having Tired I/II, Aura receives Lazy I/II, modeling her desire to avoid stress in order to ensure that it doesn't affect her beauty!

Moving on, we have a new passive similar to Party Girl, Sex Duties Of A Demon Queen. The denotes the remaining time until the next repeatable Earth sex event occurs.

And finally we have Modeling Proficiency I, which allows Aura's skills that can give a target Aroused to also affect females.

Then I would like to talk a bit about a new UI feature developed this week by our assistant developer Trihan: The Social Category. What used to be a small sub-category of the Aura Category with only the Earth characters, has been expanded to capture all notable characters in the game!

It's a bit janky as its first iteration was only finished on Wednesday and likewise we most likely forgot to add a bunch of interesting characters and tags to it. (For example Paulina doesn't really work yet as the current system doesn't fully support her large changes in location/sprites without causing massive copy&paste)

But I think it should serve as a good basis to collect some extra feedback. Which characters would you like to see in here? What kind of tags would be helpful to you? For now we focused on adding important quest characters and lewd partners. Furthermore, character lewd tags such as evil, kind, etc. were the first line of priority that we decided to add. Beyond that I also added some simple "progression tags" such as Nadia's "Partner" tag which changes from Albrecht to Rosemond if you do his quest. Likewise, notable NPCs that you killed - such as the Drug Dealer - are listed with the "Dead" tag. So you can now easily look up if you killed a lewd partner in the past!

As a negative note, maybe you saw in a previous devlog the feature for save renaming, this we had to take out. The (form) approach that we used to create the input fields was not very compatible with the remaining engine and caused more holes to fix than we anticipated. So I decided that we should deactivate it until Trihan implements an alternative approach.

I could talk a bit more about the small other additions the update has brought with it, such as the new quest to uncurse Jacob's daughter or the ability to go back and steal the Mana Catalyst from the Hermit if you missed out on it when the Vice choice first popped up - but I feel like we have already reached quite the length for this update post, so I will close out here.

Have fun with the update! The full changelog is as usual below. Next month will start the Charlotte lewd content development and otherwise continue the heavy Earth Corruption content focus --- The Corruption Ending is getting close!!!!!!

Star Knightess Aura 0.42.0-prerelease-3

We are back for another round of Roya content this week. Originally, I wanted the next adventurer quest to focus on Charlotte but.... That didn't work out.

The problem with the quest was that it had a lot of things it kind of tried to do which also impose quite a lot of constraints on the design and I couldn't figure out a nice design that was small enough in scope and worked with everything. Basically the idea was to use it to introduce the corruption partner for the Charrlote lewd scenes, give some expansion to the Entertainment Den, give some buildup for Judgement of Pride and also develop Charlotte's background story a bit.

I figured I could kind of combine all that stuff nicely, but with Desmond's quest interacting with it and a couple of other things blocking each other, the quest would come too late and dealing with everything kind of made the scope grow too much.

Ultimately I realized that the core issue with the quest was that I wanted to use it to achieve various things, but kind of didn't have a clear vision of what the quest was supposed to do besides achieve these side objectives, so after spending quite some time on the drawing board, I decided to scatch it. Instead, the plan is now as follows:

Charlotte's intermediate quest is scratched, instead she will be actively accompanying Aura in Judgement of Pride. This increases the complexity of this quest a bit but this way we have the Charlotte story part moved into a quest that directly relates with it.

Then, this week I worked on a different side quest, namely to finally curse Jacob's daughter - Rotten Love. It's a fairly straight forward quest for demon hunting. The concept of the boss is an "armor summoning type demon". We had until now humans summon monsters as mech armors, but this time it's a skeleton like demon summoning human flesh as it's armor. :'D In terms of difficulty, the demon is on the same level as one of the Winterfall demons I would say, giving some more prep for Beelzebub and the Summoning Ritual.

Instead of doing the quest, you are also offered a new Vice 10 choice by the White Priestess. Just tell everyone you took care of the the demon and leave Jacob's girl cursed for research purposes to get your quest reward immediately!

We also now have 7 Intermediate Rank quests, which means you can now rank up to Expert Rank. If you helped out Rosemond, you can do so for pretty cheap. Otherwise, it will cost quite a few. And once you do..... You basically don't get anything until I add the first expert Rank quest, haha. :'D

Finally, Charlotte's corruption partner is not introduced via quest but via event. Since Infamy currently only unlocks the Rosemond quest and could use another piece of content that gets unlocked by raising this stat, I decided that this would make for a good opportunity to have a new Infamy 10 event. Similarly to Rosemond's offer, once you reach it and visit the Adventurer Guild, you will get a visit by the NPC Victor who will make Aura an offer regarding to Charlotte.

Currently the actual corruption option is NOT IMPLEMENTED, I mostly just added his event because after spending so much time looking at event flow charts for Charlotte I had to at least add some progress for her this week. :'D

Other progress is the integration of the new Lord Trademond H-CGs, rounding out the maid content... Well that is unless maid George on Earth happened I guess. :'D

Then, on the side of our assistant developer Trihan, as you can see in the recent Patreon post, we have begun with the next set of UI features - the Location & Social Expansions for the Compendium. Currently they are still in the mockup stage, but our plans are to bring them into production quite quickly.

Also on the freelancer side I have both positive and negative news regarding the search for someone to fill in the Pixel Artist position. Our latest candidate suddenly ran off sadly. They did have a WIP Alicia sprite they were working on so I will just drop that.

Sadly the colors and shading are a bit and they were in the process of working on that but apparantly couldn't handle working on it besides their day job. Oh well, that's why do these test commissions. The positive side is, that Trihan found us a new candidate. They have some projects ongoing for this week so we will only be able to start the test commission for them but they have a very good portfolio so I am looking forward to the results.

Then on the 2D art side, I have discussed the next set of commissions with our artist Emubi. The brothel will suffer a little bit with the Anal customer not getting a special new CG but rather reusing the default CG with just an anal variation. This I would say reasonable simplification allows us to sneak in the more impactful FemMaid George character artwork.

Aaaaaand that's it for the week! Next week, back to Earth! More lewd content between Aura and Richard, if I'm lucky I can get to the point of them having a repeat sex event that will work like the Night Club event and trigger at set intervals.

Changelog 0.42.0-prerelease-3 (19.04.2024)

Added Lord Trademond 1 H-CGs
Added Lord Trademond 2 H-CGs
Added quest Rotten Love

Star Knightess Aura 0.42.0-prerelease-2

Choo choo choo. Today's stop: Suffering town. For both George and Rose. A bit more for George maybe. Also I think the break's on George's suffering train kind of broke today. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, yeah.

We don't have a lot of new corruption scenes, a total of 6 new ones, but pretty much all of them are packed with content! 2 of them are lewd scenes, one of them pretty big with 4k words and complex involving both a blowjob and sex. I don't to spoil too much about the scenes, I will just drop some cryptic things.

George sees Richard and Aura "dating"...

Richard chooses Aura over Rose...

George is offered a deal, but to get what he wants he needs to play along with Veronica...

A certain someone realizes the truth about everything...

Overall, we have progress on two storylines. One is Rose's story which has now entered the last section and the other one is George's story, which I changed up quite a bit from planned during this week's conceptualization process. And here I do want to just talk about it a bit more.

Meet maid femGeorge. Which is apparantly now a thing. I originally just wanted to focus on humiliation related content but I realized that this course was a bit more time efficient for the story as it focuses more on larger events (including lewd events) with heavier impact than what I had in mind before. And that in return overall fits better into the Chapter 3 structure as it's currently working out. There is still plenty of humiliaiton content though, both in the lewd scenes and also for example in a latest scene where George meets Aura and Richard after they become a "couple". The down side is that I need 1 additional character costume asset and also 1 more H-CG than planned when we are already behind on art schedule x_X But while I always do my best to prevent project scope creep I feel like this investment is worth it to build an overall satisfying Chapter 3 and Corruption Ending.

Don't be surprised if events play a bit out of line if you already watched everything from last week. A couple of George events would in a clean save trigger before the later Pretend Dating events.

I was hoping I could just one more event in the George and Veronica event line and had planned to work through the last weekend to finish the Rose lewd event but after doing accounting work and some interviews for the pixel artist position, I was pretty unable to write anything. For a moment I was worried I had some creativity block but came Monday, I was able to write and script the entire 4k event in a matter of 1,5 days. Nearly as if the entire thing about doing rests isn't just a luxury thing but a part of the process itself huh x_X

Then on the side of our assistant developer Trihan, we have some further UI enhancements. The concrete UI still looks a bit messy to me so I will definitely get back to our UI artist to work out some fitting skinning, but you can now in principle name your saves. (Doesn't work on Android) Besides that, a small little thing is characters of the selected file now doing a move animation.

On the gameplay side, the Poison Swamp got another little increase in difficulty through a series of minor enemy buffs. And Nothing But The Truth now causes a day end at the recess. The reason for this is that you can now pick up the trial at a later point when you have enough Vice to commit to the Vice path.

Aaaaaand that's all for today. Release a couple minutes early because I once again forgot about the clocks having been moved by an hour. :'D Next week, we take a break from the corruption scenes in favor of Roya and the next Charlotte quest. As usual, all changes from the prerelease and the patch combined below. Have fun!

Changelog 0.42.0-prerelease-2 (12.04.2024)

Added scene George and Veronica 3
Added lewd scene George and Veronica 4
Added scene George and Veronica 5
Added scene Cheating on George 5

Star Knightess Aura 0.42.0-prerelease-1

We begin the first development week of Chapter 3-B and that means lots of new corruption scenes on Earth! Concretizing the plans I posted in the April Project Plan post, I decided to swap a couple of scenes in the weekly planning around. The main goal for this week, I decided to make the progression of the Pretend Dating Richard event line until the unlocking for the Slutty Clothing Appearance Mental Change.

Now, if you check out the mental change in the Appearance Room you will see a pretty hefty requirement: 1000 Fans! And that basically determined the other event sequences I worked on this week - Wanting To Be A Model and Lewd Streaming. Watch how her selfies from her dates, her debut as a model and Aura's increasing streaming popularity are allowing her to vastly pump up her fanbase, unlocking not only the Slutty Clothing change but also exchanging her tame underwear, gaining the final Knowledge Orb giving her a new lewd passive, and finally the Superiority Happiness mental change.

For the Knowledge Orb, I originally wanted to go into the Night Club direction and go for Dancing, but this line has been kind of cut down and instead I decided to use the mental change for Modeling Knowledge. The Knoweldge Orb both progresses the Earth storyline and unlocks the aforementioned new lewd passive: Modeling Proficiency I, allowing Aura's skills that give the AROUSED state to also affect female humans.

The Superiority Happiness mental change currently doesn't have a consequence and is kind of where our storylines currently end but we do have enough scenes to fulfill its even higher fan requirement of 5000 Fans. As you can see, the increase of fans is slowly starting to spiral out of control. Alicia, while of course happy with the general development, is also showing some signs of insecurity from Aura's fast growth...

I have also used the last modeling scenes as a bit of an opportunity to mix and match outfits. It seemed to be the perfect opportunity. Cheerleading + Streamer and Casual + Streamer I think I ended up using.

Besides the focus on the Fan progression, we also have a general progression on Aura's Submission stat, mostly coming from the Richard Dating events. Finally, I managed to last minute squeeze in a reaction scene from the cheerleaders, commenting on Aura's and Richard's relationship.

Then, as some more general updates, I have done a little bit of iterating on the now pretty old Hermit quest 'What is it with Birds and Stealing' - you will now have the opportunity to steal the Mana Catalyst at any later point. His roof now has a ladder into his home, simply sneak into it and steal the catalyst from the Vice Chest.

From our assistant developer Trihan we have two additions. In the Poison Swamp quest, the boss now drops a unique material that gives a 3x per day RESIST again POISON. And the second one is more visual - and I am personally not quite sure about this one - focusing on some additional blinking effects in the main menu. I think for the Main Menu, the Formation Menu, and the Title Menu. While the Formation menu blinking effect seems pretty harmless, the other ones gave me personally some nausea, especially the Title Menu one. I dunno, to me it looks like the letters (especially the T's) are contracting and expanding due to the way the highlighting appears and disappears. x_X Please do give us some feedback on this so we know if it isn't just me or if it's just me and we can safely keep the feature in for 0.42.0.

Alright, that's it for this week! Next week, more corruption content! I plan to take the next lewd scene I had originally planned for Week 4 where Aura finally gives in after watching Rose and Richard yet again, and then I'm not sure... All the current Richard Date events are Aura and Richard only, I would like to move on to larger events, like Richard+Aura and Elizabeth+BF double date, but I feel like that would require finally catching up with George scenes... Well, we'll see, something along these directions. Then, for the full changelog see, as usual, below and have fun with the prerelease!
