Hello, everyone! I've been working on this game for the past couple months, and have decided there's enough content to justify an initial release and gather comments, recommendations, criticisms, etc.
The game is in the style of a real-time action RPG, where the protagonist is trapped on an island and forced to compete in a tournament where the losers are transformed into sex-crazed bimbos. At the moment, there are plenty of available transformations, but no sexual content (hopefully this will be added in a later version).
**********JANUARY 29 v0.2 UPDATE**********
NEW CHARACTERS: (1) Katerina, a mysterious woman working for The Host who serves as your Harem assistant. (2) Matthias, a fellow contestant who seems more interested in escaping the island than fighting. (3) Quinton, a hitman working for the Fraternity who is determined to eliminate you from the game. (4) The Collector: An eccentric loner willing to trade valuable items for the Artifacts you find scattered throughout the island. And more!
STORY CHANGES: (1) Introduction and tutorial sections updated and expanded! (2) Several new cutscenes added to the Shore, Forest, and Graveyard areas - face off against the Fraternity, and discover the secrets at the heart of the Bay of Enchantment!
NEW OUTFITS: Try on the Dapper Hat, and keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Elven Robe!
NEW ENEMIES: Two new recurring bosses, along with four new fully transformable mages!
GAMEPLAY CHANGES: (1) Special Attack (SA) gauge added! When the SA gauge is full, press the Q key to unleash a powerful attack that varies according to your outfit! (2) New enemy attack patterns - watch out for Robert's Werewolf form, Casey's feminizing plants, and more magical shenanigans! (3) Advance the story and accomplish various tasks to unlock new rooms in the Harem! (4) Use the O key to toggle between full-body and bust images, even during combat!
NOTE: Because of the extensive changes to the game, old save files are not compatible with the newest update.
Welcome to the Bay of Enchantment: a fifty square-mile island stranded in the middle of the Caribbean, where you have been kidnapped and forced to compete in a magical tournament with your very manhood on the line. Transform your opponents into bimbos, climb the ranks, and uncover the secrets lurking at the heart of this perverted contest...

The game is alright. Not perfect, but alright. The gameplay is simple but fun if you like bullet hells and it's got some charm. The kiskae art is kinda generic. But the real problem is simple; you can't play it with only one hand.
the images are generated in a free tool (not that i gona complain about it)
the battle system is unrefined and clumsy
rpg maker is not the best tool for shooter games not by longshot
the game idea is the best part
it is geting better by v0.21
bugs fixed
1: Kisekae artstyle's basic, but the Harem Museum is a really nice touch, so I'm okay with it.
2: Combat is interesting, albiet easy to cheese by simply sprinting or setting Always Dash to "On".
3: There's way too many audiofiles and imagefiles included in the download; I guarentee the majority aren't used in the game itself yet.
Tip: When deploying an RPG MV project, there's an option that says "exclude unused files", I highly reccomend selecting it for the next update you make. That should really lower the filesize quite durastically.
4: It's not obvious when you've finished the demo; I spent way too long looking for the pickaxe when I'm pretty sure it's not implemented yet.
5: The puzzle room in the Mausoleum is a bit confusing, especially with its multiple combinations. I had to resort to actually looking at the game's code to actually figure out what the combinations were.
Overall, nice start. It's clear that love and care went into this. I'd like to see more.
I agree with everything purpen2665 said. Great idea, great that there's actually some content, PLEASE find a way to have a download size under 1GB
This game has extraordinary potential to be one of the big high class projects on this site. There is simply, a LOT to like about it.
1. The Gameplay is completely unique to almost anything I've seen on the site before. Yet it's extremely simple.
2. Everything is fleshed out (Which is a lot more than can be said about a lot of games on this site.) Everything has an image and actually has some progression as of right now.
3. The real time transformations are interesting concept choice for sure.
I also want to address a few concerns that other users have had with this game that I have had as well.
1. Definitely cut back on the custom BGM. While I appreciate the level of detail you're adding, it's causing an absurd download size
2. The transformations are well done mostly, but none really have any sort of storytelling flair that other games on this site have. The Game Over screen is the most egregious. Just having it immediately fade to game over without any context to our fate leaves something to be desired.
Overall though this is a wonderful game and I hope this project keeps going!
