Рыцарские страсти / Knightly Passions [v.1.60 + DLC] (2020) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py][Linux] [Android] [Completed] [FEYADA]

v1.60 - 2025-05-31
his build includes both the base game and the two DLCs, “Between Life and Death” and “In the Grip of Ice.”
Here’s the full list of changes to the main game:
Added “New Game+” mode. This will be unlocked after completing the game for the first time. In this mode, you can choose to skip whichever quests you wish when you start a new game (especially useful for people trying to collect all the game’s achievements or replay specific quests without a convenient save).
Added BONUS SCENES to the gallery (five old 18+ scenes). Please note: This is not new content. We’ve decided to show you scenes that were originally intended to be part of the game, but were later replaced by remade Live2D versions. You can compare the old versions to the new ones to see how much the animation quality has improved. One of the scenes was completely cut out; it will be new to many players.
All major characters now have names. The following characters received names: the tavern keeper, the witch, the blonde nun, the vampiress, and the arms trader.
The comic-style segment with the elf’s “tail” has returned, and we’ve improved the text in the elf’s 18+ scene. The comic-style segment was cut in the past due to plot changes.
Partially fixed the combat bug involving enemy attack animations. If you’ve encountered animation problems in combat, you can enable/disable attack animations by clicking on the action point bubble in the combat screen.
Added the ability to sort inventory items. Simply click on the “Sort” button in your inventory screen and your items will be put in order.
Traders’ stocks now refresh daily. Previously, items sold to traders appeared as available to be bought back long after you’d sold them. Now, you can only buy back items you sold earlier the same day. The entire stock will refresh at the end of the day and any items you’ve sold to a trader will disappear.
Improved dialogues with the elf inside the player’s house.
Fixed a bug with the scale of flying serpents in combat.
Improved the text in the 18+ scene in the field with Mirina (and removed the “to be continued” text).
Fixed a bug with Quest 22 still appearing in the journal after it had been completed.
Fixed minor trading bugs.
Fixed many other bugs and probably added new ones.
And much more.

v1.34 - 2025-04-04
Fixed most of the spelling errors in the original Russian text, allowing us to translate the game into additional languages more easily.
Added sound effects for opening the journal/inventory, pressing buttons, spending/receiving gold, etc.
Reworked notifications (“Quest completed!”, “Task completed!”, “Item received!”, etc.)
Corrected sprite expressions in Quests 1 and 3.

Fixed several bugs.
And much more.

v1.21 Steam Gold
Fixed a crash when loading old saves. Friends, please remember not to try loading saves from a demo version of the game or a version preceding the 1.0 release. If you attempt to load such a save, you’ll encounter errors because the old save does not know how to correctly interact with the many new mechanics we’ve implemented in subsequent versions of the game, causing a version conflict.
Fixed a rare game crash related to catching artifacts while fishing.
Cheat codes now correctly unlock all of the 18+ gallery scenes.

The main quest has received its next installment. It’s worth noting that for this update, rather than creating new side quests, we focused all our efforts on the continuation of the main quest. In order to get straight to the new content, use "New Game+" mode and skip all of the quests. Once you load into the town, open your quest log. You should be able to figure out the rest from there.

Keep treasure hunting! Get yourself a shovel and go digging for genuine buried treasures! We’ve added 5 new chests containing valuable rewards (making 8 chests in all).

The first chest is located at the pier by the fisherman’s house. The second chest is located in the grass by the entrance to the cave. The third chest is at the lake, under the sand. Finding a chest is only half the battle — you also need to unlock it. Consequently, we’ve devised puzzles for almost every one of them. It’s worth mentioning that there can only be one hidden chest in any particular location.

In creators own words
Q: " Is this different from the previously released halloween version?"
A:" There are minor changes in translation, mechanics and a couple of pictures. It's basically the same add-on that people have seen before."

DESCRIPTION
We present to your attention a special DLC for Knightly Passions entitled “Between Life and Death.” In said add-on, you’ll be obliged to go on an exceptionally exciting excursion into the underworld. Souls of the dead, decaying dragons, and other spawns of darkness will do everything they can to keep you from returning to see the sun ever again. But even in these blood-soaked wastes, the hunter won’t be bereft of the assistance of beauties, though they may not be entirely human. Will the intrepid hunter manage to overcome the trials and tribulations on his difficult road? And will he be able to outwit the Lord of the Damned himself to rescue a lost soul from the maw of hell?

Combat System 3.0. Let’s go over it all in sequence, from most to least significant. An auto-move button has been added in combat that allows the player to click a single time on a skill card to use it (no additional clicking to select the card’s target, which significantly speeds up battles). While in this mode, attack cards will automatically target the first eligible enemy, while defense and healing cards will target the player. Additionally, in this mode, cards no longer disappear and animations are much faster. We’ve also changed the exterior design of the combat system. We’ve started implementing new cards that you’ll see in the next updates. You can now swap between weapons in combat (bow/sword). You can now end your turn by hitting the space bar if you use a keyboard.
Updated the design of the arm wrestling starting screen.

New skill: “Steel Claws.” An enemy using this skill can bypass armor the player acquires during combat, dealing damage directly to the player’s health.
Updated the item system. Armor, weapons, and certain quest items now have their own rarity levels. In the future, we’ll expand the current list of item rarity.
Combat balance has been completely reworked. The player now has 500 HP instead of 100 HP. The health and attack of all enemies have also grown several times larger.
Wounds heal when you sleep. Six hours of sleep in the tavern now restores 50 HP.
Made some textual revisions to Quests 2, 8, and 15.

v.0.8a
Knightly Passions 0.8a! RELEASE!
Dear friends,

We are delighted to present you with a new release of Knightly Passions - Version 0.8a. This update wasn’t an easy one for us because every member of our team caught the coronavirus at some point during this production cycle. That could’ve forced us to delay the release until April, but no, we managed to finish the release on time!

So, let’s take a look at what you can expect to find in the new update:

New quest: “The Family Heirloom.” In it, we continue to discover more about the elf’s character.
New quest: “The World of Trading.” A cute and romantic story involving Mirina :3
New quest: “The Forest Cove.” This is a quest that will, in future updates, introduce us to a new character.
Remade the adult scenes in the brunette nun’s cell in Live2D.
Remade 2 adult scenes with the elf in Live2D.
Added beautiful music that immerses you more deeply in the game for the new quests.
Completely overhauled hunting and slightly improved the combat system. You can now hunt several creatures at once by choosing to face one to three enemies.
Your level of Hunting Instinct now allows you to gain the dodge effect right in the middle of battles. The higher your level of Hunting Instinct, the higher your chance of gaining the dodge effect.
The item drop rate is now tied to Hunting Instinct. Each additional level increases the chances of rare items dropping.
Added auto-battle functionality to hunting mode. To unlock it, you need to conduct three successful hunts for animals of the given variety and number. For instance, in order to unlock auto-battles when facing three wolves, you’ll need to defeat packs of three wolves three times in normal combat. Auto-battles cost the hunter 30 HP.
You can now arm wrestle with the fisherman and the blacksmith.
Arm wrestling difficulty is now impacted by your level of Combat Training. The higher your Combat Training, the easier it will be to defeat your opponent.
The price of items is now dependent on your Charisma level. The higher your Charisma, the lower the cost of the goods you buy and the higher the selling price for your own items.
Added the “Lacerating Strike” skill card, which inflicts the bleeding condition on enemies. You can obtain it by defeating the blacksmith at arm wrestling.
Added an “enhanced fishing rod,” which grants you a 15% chance to catch a variety of items in the lake (including artifacts).
Added the “Potion of Oblivion.” It resets all stats, allowing skill points to be reallocated. It’s currently sold by the witch.
The Gallery now fully unlocks when unlocked via cheat codes (including all of the scenes with the elf and the brunette nun).
Improved the “New Game+” feature by adding the ability to skip Quests 11 through 14. (Previously, only the first 10 quests were skippable).
Added a convenient button in the navigation window to allocate unspent Skill Points.
Improved the English translations of Quests 5 through 9.
You now won’t be able to flee from combat during the combat tutorial. Previously, running away from the combat during the tutorial caused a critical error.
Fixed the tooltips on how to unlock each adult scene in the Gallery.
Fixed a bug with the appearance of the maid in the market in “New Game+” games.
Fixed trading bugs.
Fixed bugs when crafting items at the blacksmith.
Fixed bugs with the Cave location.
Also fixed many other bugs and probably added some new ones.
And much more!

Fixed a bug with the strands of spider silk in the fisherman’s quest (Quest 12).
