Whispering Ledger

Will there be futa on female or futa on futa content?

The developer hasn't planned any futa on female or futa on futa content yet, but they are not outright opposed to it. Such scenes would likely involve the MC's presence and maintaining unique character interactions is challenging for AI at this stage.

How do Balae and Ashura compare in size?

Balae is bigger than Ashura, though Ashura is still considered large. No characters will have comically oversized features.

When can we expect new content updates?

The next release is estimated for October 25th. The developer has completed the second half of the prologue and is now adding music, sprites, and sound effects to the first half along with implementing core gameplay mechanics.

How will character interactions affect the story?

In future parts of the game, choices will have varying impacts on affinity levels based on characters' personalities. The MC's primary goal is making money, and any actions leading to a lack of support from others will result in an immediate Bad End.

How can I hide dialogue boxes?

Pressing H hides the dialogue box temporarily. Additionally, the developer plans to add a dedicated button on the UI for this function.

How do I unlock futanari content?

Is it intended that crafting items results in a net loss?

The copper compass example shows materials costing 140 and the lab cost being 280, resulting in a total of 420. However, the base price to sell it is only 350. This could be due to it being a rank 1 issue or intended as such.

What additional interactions can I have with characters?

Are animations planned for the game?

Character Interactions

• Max out faction ranks for each character to increase shop profitability and unlock additional content.

Game Progression

• Keep an eye on the 'Ranks' tab in the ledger to track your progress through rank events.
• Expect more content updates, including new characters like Luna, Roland, Mia, Korin, and Brother Douglass in upcoming versions.
• To advance Balae's rank in the game, complete her faction quest by conducting sufficient research at the library to maximize her experience points.
• Once you have 50/50 experience for a character like Tyra, look for a button labeled 'Start Rank Event' next to the exp value or navigate to the Ledger via the notebook icon in the top right corner. However, be aware that starting events from the ledger currently prevents menu access and saving during the quest.

Mechanics

Game Mechanics
