HTML A Prince's Tale [v0.2.4b] [tiny-pastry]

[mypossiblepasts]

two virgins decide they've "fallen in love" in like, couple days of playing video games

Because this is literally me?

But you have some point, the story and writing was actually dogshit from what I remember.
But at the same time it has the absolute best, uncontested, 10/10 sex scene which makes everything else meaningless. Goodbye Eternity

Fair point Although what scene was it, if i may ask? When i played it, it only had like, couple scenes if that (and the previous name) and i don't really remember anything so spectacular... so maybe it was added later.

I don't think so, probably just taste diff.

But I'm all like this

Peak VN
And cmon...
This level of detail and fidelity is unseen in this kind of media (not counting few Japanese productions like Kaiju Princess etc.).
Saying it's few leagues above any other VN is understatement.
It's on whole another plane of existance.

Yeah, that -really- came off as a TFG cliche. You might consider changing this up a bit, maybe starting it at a more neutral size so the difference in either direction can be felt.

Leaning into this and presenting the possibility of things we don't see very often will be what makes or breaks this. Like you can throw a rock and hit a dozen games with big dick worship and small penis humiliation, but a system that lets you see that bratty courtier make fun of the prince's big useless dick - or humble her a little with a small one that hits all the right spots - is something that no one else is doing.

For me I felt that sub shouldn't be loosing. Sub would be more interesting as people falling in love with the prince, becoming nicer to them as they become dominant over them in the bedroom. Dominant I want to manipulate and exert my royal authority. Make that red haired girl strip and masturbate while I forbid her to orgasm until she begs. I want to turn that squire into a femboy. Let sub feel appreciated and desiresd while Dom is feared and worshipped. Let me collar girls, have them strip and dance for me, spank their asses, milk their breasts like cows.

Ohh. Yeah, that's the one of those scenes i was too dizzy from eyes rolling (from the writing) to appreciate, i guess. Definitely a difference in tastes then, i mean just the stupidity of that 0:27 is making me laugh myself silly from how fake it is, rather than feel i'm watching porn Mona Lisa.

Anyway, thank you for the answer and am gonna shut up now. Didn't intend this tangent to get so long, sorry.

 

[mypossiblepasts]

Wow!
A person with different taste will just acknowledge that and move on instead of trying to prove me how I am wrong?

Are you sure you're in the right place?

Tangent is my second name!

They must have taken a wrong turn somewhere

Yeah, that's something else that lowkey annoys me in this type of game. Subs are only imagined as being jizz/cuntrags, something to toy with and degrade, when there's this whole world of attitudes to explore. It's frustrating to see people do what they've seen in other games rather than exploring the ideas in front of them.

Blame the wider landscape of erotica. You see this kind of 'sub = subhuman, dom = ubermensch' thinking all over the map, including erotic subcultures that should really know better such as LGBT, Anime, and Historical(esque, ASoIaF really stretches it). Actually, I think it's even worse in those subcultures than mainstream porn.

 

[B1asphemous]

I really liked what you have. Lots of fun, but fuck the coin game, I'm playing on my phone and that shit is tedious. Probably a lot better with a mouse.

 

[wtfimmune]

I really like everything except the damn coin minigame. Please let me skip it

Lucy, great start! Can really see you honing your craft in this game and providing some familiar yet still compelling game components. Looking forward to seeing what you do in future releases!

As an aside, please forgive me if I come-off as presumptuous or condescending (not my intent) but there are a few bugs in the Confessional -- may need some fault tolerance for when querying content and not finding it because it isn't there yet (or maybe typo'd) -- although it looks as though you have that hard coded in a few places (i.e. not finished yet).

Also, watching the console during play, you may have some memory leaks you want to watch out for. I saw repeated instances of a call iterating to triple digits over and over and it seemed to make queries and input lag significantly.

Hello.

The summary, samples and tags made me come. And the result left me with mixed feelings.

The worldbuilding is limited but fitting.
The characters are few and different.
The plot is interesting.
The artistic side is fine.

After being put in charge of the kingdom, the protagonist has to learn how to govern and face the issues necessary for its survival.
The flow of events is correct but a little lacking in between. The trainings are too brief/succinct and repetitive, outside the day of the assassination event. The coins mini game was well thought, even more making them ricochet on the border or pushing them further when bumping on another one.
The characters are well behaved, even Kathryn as a bully isn't too awful. The MC is also neutral enough to be shaped how the player wants.
The portraits are well done and varied. The ergonomics is well thought. The map is easy to use and made me think of Cluedo.

Overall, this game seems good and interesting as a premice for a bi/gay playthrough without feminization. We just have to wait for it to be included.

Good continuation.

Unlikely doesn't mean impossible. There's been dominant medieval female rulers. Having female attributes didn't prevent them from bossing people around, i don't see why the game has to limit itself more than reality, especially when it's not realistic itself by any stretch, between magic and everyone potentially being a furry.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. There's a difference between a female and an effeminate male. Dominant males are always masculine as a general rule, whilst dominant females can be feminine. Yes, there has been female rulers, but a feminized male is highly unlikely to be dominant, as femininity on males is almost always connected to submissiveness. IMO, the game approaches it as it should so far.

Again, highly unlikely does not mean impossible, and especially in a game which is pure fantasy trip there's really no need to cry for some sort of stereotypical realism. No one is forcing your feminized prince to act dominant in your own playthrough, so am not sure why you're objecting to people having this option in their own.

That's not even mentioning that what passes for "feminine" or "feminized" in A.D.2024 can be completely different from what was viewed as such mere few decades ago, never mind few hundred years back. In terms of fashion, behavior, social practices and many other things.

Exactly, damn i'm so tired of games where i'm enjoiyng my shopping for cute lingerie and suddently a dickhead appears and instantly i'm on my knees deepthroating him without even the possiblity to say no , it's that the reality? really? It's just a shitty trope way too abused. i don't know how you guys enjoy the same gameplay again and again.

I'm going to agree with one point you made, though probably not for the reasons you made it. Most of what you're getting at is too rooted in stereotypes; spend enough time with the Letters and you will meet -very- effeminate men who are nonetheless very dominant in and out of bed.

Here's my explanation: there's not -just- masculinity and femininity and they are not opposites of each other. The same person can be both without one diminishing traits of the other. What we understand - but don't often express this way - is that there are looks and behaviors &c that fulfill images we have of masculinity and a lack of those (or traits that express the opposite of those) is thought to be effeminate. Effeminate and feminine are not the same; to be effeminate is to be seen as lacking in those ideal male qualities (or a sissy) rather than having female qualities. That's why it's hard for you to consider an effeminate man to be dominant. By the measures we use on others we usually only start to consider a man effeminate if he's -not- strong and decisive &c.

But if a man were to gain feminine qualities instead there's no reason in this logic why he couldn't be dominant. Any good ruler, regardless of their gender, is pictured as having those decisive qualities. Going a bit further, the idea that an effeminate man is inherently submissive goes back to the old idea that this state of being comes about when a man has been emasculated - or stripped of his manhood by another man. This is an idea with a lot of history, but not one that's universally true; now that people have a bit more freedom to express themselves we can see that some men are drawn to effemininity just because they like it and can still perform as men just fine while embracing it. The opposite is true, too: a man doesn't need to give up all semblance of masculinity in order to be submissive. The more you pick these assumptions apart and look at them separately the more you see how they're not as interconnected as we've been led to believe.

 

[Salgos Gremory]

Great potential! I think that the coin mini-game should be optional after the first time.

 

[Darkarhon]

This game was pretty interesting. Played it on both the domination route and the submissive route.

I liked the coin mini-game, if i had to say i would make it required till you reach level 3 of treasury then make it optional since you are skilled and experienced enough instead of making it instantly optional after the first time.

 

[TheMisBegotten]

very cool
