Ren'Py A House in the Rift [v0.7.16r4] [Zanith]

[-CookieMonster666-]

I'm happy that Rae, Cait and Lyriel are so good, 'cause I'm not really a fan of the new girls. Yona is just kind of boring. It feels like no matter how many events you do with her, there's no character development, and I'm also not really a fan of jacked green ogres, so that doesn't help. And I've only just met Blair, but the whole chubby dwarf thing really doesn't do it for me, not to mention the author seems to be continuing the Yona trend of having the new girls dress like sluts for no reason.

I'm not going to get into preferences or anything, but as far as the (lack of) progress with Yona, there's not all that much in the game overall, unless you count events where she appears but isn't the focus. So I think she feels underdeveloped because, well, she really is. As more content is made for her, she will hopefully be more interesting to you (although the whole 'jacked green ogres' thing would still be an obstacle, of course).

The reason why Yona and to a lesser extent Naomi don't have much content is that they are not that liked in comparison to Rae, Cait, and Lyriel. I can actually see the same problem coming for Blair, I know she didn't have much development in the game yet but looking back at the plans Zanith posted for her back in Sep. 2019 I'm pretty sure I won't like her either.

I love the same 3 best girls myself, but I don't mind the other girls in the story, after all I can safely ignore any lovey dovey stuff with them which I emphasize because in many games they just force you down one route or another.

Also replaying the game again reminded me of an important thing I really appreciate: The ability to give extremely out of place responses like a total weirdo which leads to funny scenarios
Like meeting Lyriel and not speaking the whole time or telling Cait and Naomi they are prisoners

Indeed, people complaining about Yona not having any character development don't seem to be thinking about how she was until this version the newest girl with the least scenes.

Is it any surprise that Yona and Blair are not as well developed as the older girls?

I'm replaying through the game and I just got to the part where you get drugged and man, it's honestly really frustrating. Like, I don't understand why the author didn't just give the player an option to be honest about why we took Lyriel, I don't understand why this outcome was forced. Was it supposed to add thrill or tension to the story? I really don't understand.

I would have definitely been 100% blunt and truthful cause I like to be the nice guy nobody expects.

I cant progress in the game. Theres an error that occurs anytime i enter the Living Room, and the next part i need to pass is when Rae is showing off her dress.... in the living room.... I cant ignore it and if i Rollback it just puts me back in the event. Really love the game, kinda frustrating that i cant proceed. Anyone else experience this and how can it be resolved?

Nobody is going to be able to help if you don't say what the error is. Post your tracelog.

I haven't seen this error, but Zanith is really good about trying to help with issues like this that arise. You can use the Attach files button below where you type your message here.

If the game is completely crashing, go to the main folder where your copy of A House in the Rift is (so something like C:Users\JabbaWookie\MyGames\AHouseInTheRift\ or wherever you have that). There should be a file called traceback.txt that Master of Puppets mentioned.

If it's just that the game keeps jumping around, instead post your save file. From the path I listed above (where the traceback file is), open the \game folder, then \saves and then find the save where you are before this happens. If you're not sure, here is an example:

In the game, let's say the save is found on "Page 7" and is in the middle of the second row. The name of the file for that location is 7-5-LT1.save (page 7, spot 5).​

Find your own and use the Attach files to include it in your post.

This is it. I can rollback, and I can go to a previous save to try and do something else, but the moment I try to enter the living room I get an error. Here's the save file, I think.

That's a quick save file (under the Q page of your saves lists in the game). If that's correct, then keep that one. If it's wrong, use the numbers to go through the pages and navigate to the correct one. I personally won't be doing any troubleshooting, but as I said, Zanith (or possibly others) can look at it when they're able.

 

[MidnightKing]

Getting a similar issue as that guy actually. Rollback and ignore take me back to Rae's shopping event.

Here's my tracelog, and the fudged save.

I know there's no tag, but I need to ask this. Does the game have any MILFs?

 

[voyeurkind]

Not really. Rae and Lyriel are of indeterminate age being a succubus and an elf, but I wouldn't call either of them a MILF.

There is Vivian, she's only a minor girl but there are a few scenes with her. And while not out yet there are a few more side milfs coming on Rae's route in one of her future updates.

They're just ILFs.

 

[Cartageno]

They're just ILFs.

Which certainly is a better option than the variant often seen in games, Ms, also known as MIDLFs.

D is for "definitely"?

 

[jahall]

D is for "definitely"?

Given the context, I suspect it is "don't".

 

[Lap-pillow Princess]

Something I'd really love to see added at some point is little casual intimacies, like quick little interaction options to give the girls hugs, kisses, headpats, and maybe character-specific interactions like stroking Lyriel's ears or Rae's horns, things like that.

Besides the obvious "this makes the relationship seem more real and not just about sex", I just love, for example, the mental-image of walking up and giving Lyri a kiss when there are others present and seeing her get all flustered - which could transition to being more accepting of the affection once she feels less defensive and the MC has helped her work through her self-worth issues a bit.
