Cross Realms

Can I just say that as the developer of a cultivation themed visual novel (well, moreso a game at this point), it's great to see more content in the genre.
This looks great, may the best find you and your project.

Kinda bullshit that Jake is the same level as you after everything you've been through. Cool to see him though, I had totally forgotten about him. Although the reunion was a bit anti-climactic. MC reuinites with his childhood best friend, who he didn't even know was alive, and they're both like "Oh hey, you're here, cool", and move on lol XD. Was kind of weird. Also not sure how I feel about all the love interests being spread all over the world. This means we are going to have to go long periods of time without seeing most of them. I was cool with it this time, since Vanny is my favorite. But it might cause some pacing issues in the future. I hope the Dev finds a way to keep all the LI's together and with you

PLEASE! PLEASE GET THE NEXT UPDATE DONE A.S.A.P! I frickin' love this AVN so much!I've been following this AVN since 0.2. With each update the story get more and more intense and fascinating.. Cant wait for 0.5!

Man update was going so well..... aaand then Vanny tells you she has to stay a virgin  -___-. Cmon man.  The fight scenes were great though, as usual. I loved the update overall. Also can you have Vanny with her horns and tail more often please. I really liked her design more when she was first introduced, even her face is different now, she used to look more unique, her face looks.... generic now. I forget she's even a Demon half the time. She's so hot with the glowing eyes and horns. Would be nice during the NSFW scenes too. The horns give u something to grab onto if u know what I mean :P. On the bright side the MC's design looks WAY better now. And I love how Vanny turned into a complete Nympho, 3 days straight non-stop anal sex lmao. I love the render where she wakes up, turns into demon form and pulls u back to bed for more sex haha. She was already my favorite LI, but I like her even more now. MC's steak is too juicy

I will now list everything related to the game wich i love and think its awesome and then the bad parts.

Good: the Story is just so perfect. Ita not rushed, its full of action, there are really good choices u can make. Also the artwork dont get me started here 🤣😭🙏 all i will say, its fucking awesome. It is long enough to play for a whole day wich is good for now :) also i would love to see more from the other girls but also keep vanni a bit focused here (its the dev decision 🫡) 

BAD: i cant wait for more 🤣🤣

I'm really getting some strong Calypso-like vibes from Vanny here. The time skips in this episode somehow make the first three episodes feel more like a prologue, and honestly, that works really well. The improvement in the render quality is super noticeable too, and definitely appreciated.

Overall, this is another really engaging episode you've added to the game, dev. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing how the next one turns out.

I can't fathom the amount of work that went into all the animations. Excellent game

Are there any plans to make a walkthrough pdf? Or a walkthrough setting? Ex. Making green dialouge options to stay on route. Red going off route. Etc.

Ended chapter 4 and boy, this game is just masterpice, it is work of art.

Game is in my heart on same first place as Witcher 3.

Can't wait what gonna happen in next chapter. :D

Duskduck with each update ur game just get better and better, idk how u manage that, but keep cooking the game.

That's awesome! I was just wondering last night how long it would take for this game to update, and today I saw it.

no Mac download?

Hello, does someone know where to find a walkthrough, please?

This is by far one of the best stories I have seen. Great job!!!

This game is so fucking good holy shit. I deadass cant wait for the next updat

I've spent over 6 hours playing v0.3.0 so far and all I can say is "DAMN this is a great VPN!" This can easily be a huge game time-wise and I hope DuskDuck goes that route. 

Cross Rrealms is to Fantasy as what Eternum is to Sci-Fi.

A solid 5 stars!

Hello, this is my overall evaluation of the current version 0.3 of the game. I'm from another country, so I can only use AI to translate what I'm describing. I hope the language barrier across thousands of miles can be overcome, and that everyone can read and understand what I'm saying.

First, a greeting on the premise. Using a visual novel to depict the Xianxia (Immortal Cultivation) genre is a very bold attempt, but it inevitably creates some overall abruptness. If you want to write romance lines between the male protagonist and the female leads, it inevitably comes at the cost of reducing the construction of the world-building and combat. Conversely, focusing on combat and world-building means reducing the emotional stories between the male lead and the heroines. Doing both simultaneously would require a significant amount of development time, especially for a harem multi-heroine theme. It's very difficult to depict each heroine's psychology in accepting a harem within such a worldview. Apart from this drawback, there are also challenges in modeling and combat. I understand that modeling and finding models is difficult, but my point is about the difference in expressiveness. For example, the combat moves displayed during QI FUSION and QI ENLIGHTENMENT stages are almost identical. I hope lower-level cultivators don't have overly flashy combat performances, as this could devalue the subsequent stages like QI CELESTIAL and above. It would be best to add more descriptive writing during combat. A single combat image flashing by cannot have sustained and continuous movement like a 3D animation; it can only be similar to paneled shots in comics. The advantage of comics is their ability to depict a sense of tension through drawing, but 3D struggles with perspective and exaggerated angles. You can use descriptive writing to exaggerate and depict the scenes to compensate for this.

Next is a critique of the world-building. In the game, I feel there are elements mixed in from other works, like Battle Through the Heavens, Sword Coming, Renegade Immortal, Jade Dynasty... etc. I fully understand the author's desire to construct a grand Xianxia世界观 (worldview), but it's inevitable to be influenced by other works, which can lead to confusion in the worldview. In any Xianxia-themed work, the gap between cultivation realms reflects the gap in strength. It's important to know that the strong have cultivated for hundreds of years to have sufficient foundation and combat power. Yet in the game, YUA advanced from an ordinary person to QI FUSION in just four years. The sect master, ELINA, spent over a hundred years to reach QI ASCENDENCY. Being only two realms apart from ELINA's level devalues the realm divisions. Also, instances of "a lower realm defeating a higher realm"最好不要太频繁 (shouldn't be too frequent). In the story, the male protagonist, having just advanced to QI INITIAL, could repel a QI TRANSCENDENCE cultivator. This makes the realm divisions even more devalued and makes all that cultivation seem like just for show. Although here, for the male protagonist, it could be forcefully justified, I hope that in the future, crossing one level is more reasonable if it's under circumstances like fighting many against one, or by introducing numerous treasures to give the protagonist a rationale for becoming stronger. Actually, there's no need to have too many or overly high cultivation levels. Because the world you're building has many dimensions. If the cultivation divisions in different dimensions are the same as in the mortal world, then why distinguish between the lower and upper worlds? God-like figures could appear in the mortal world too. I suggest not focusing too much on dividing cultivation levels. If division is necessary, in the mortal world, having 5 or 6 realms like Qi Condensation (First Realm of Qi Cultivation), Foundation Establishment (Building the Foundation), Core Formation (Forming the Golden Core), Nascent Soul (Infant Soul), and Divine Transformation (Spirit Transformation) is enough. Higher realms that allow breakthroughs to greater heights should only appear when reaching the upper world. This would better reflect the gap between dimensions. It's best to add more focus on introducing things like magic tools (Magical Instruments), magic treasures (Treasure Artifacts), Life-bound Magic Treasures (Treasures Bonded to One's Life), Ancient Treasures, Spirit Beasts, Pills (Alchemical Pills), Cultivation Techniques (Methods/Arts), Formations (Arrays)... etc. For example, works in this genre usually have a section introducing the Storage Pouch. You don't have to write it in detail, but it shouldn't be omitted. Otherwise, it affects the game experience as players won't know where the male protagonist pulls out his treasures from. Adding such a section allows us to see what treasures are in the male protagonist's storage pouch, providing rationale for him to fight across realms against higher-level cultivators. A final point of critique is the lack of introduction to teleportation-type settings. The male protagonist inexplicably goes to random places, which is very sudden and absurd. If there are such spatial spells, why don't the people in the sect notice? They are cultivators of the same realm.

Finally, let's talk about the part I found quite good – the days spent in the outer city with SERENA after going to the Demon Realm with VANNY. Because in this type of game with multiple heroines, it's difficult to advance romance lines simultaneously. Having one or two travel alone is a good way to describe their experiences. The construction introduces many dimensions; there should probably be adventures to other dimensions with different heroines later. This would be a good arc. However, during these adventures, the other heroines would be相当于下线状态 (effectively offline). When they meet again, it might be difficult to continue writing their stories smoothly.

I have written novels in different genres, so I deeply understand the author's efforts in world-building. Of course, everyone has their own understanding of different worlds. If what I said conflicts greatly with the world you are building, just treat it as me talking nonsense. Because the gap between a novel and a visual novel is still significant. The author has the courage and spends time on this, which already earns my great respect. I hope it gets better and better in the future.

Bro what a cliffhanger, and right after a gutpunch...
