RPGM A Struggle with Sin [v0.6.1.1b] [Chyos]

[acowasto]

Yes and no. Books, can only have one ending unless author dabble in meta writing/publishing (which often comes off as reckoning which is bad).
Games/visual novels, however can have multiple endings, each reached upon making a multitude of choice and progress throughout the game. That's a huge difference and a, ahem, "gamechanger" from reading book. There's nothing false, there is no illusions, it's all choices one make in a game.

Well, yes and no. Yes, games and novels can have mutliple endings which are reach upon making multiple of choices through the game. No, because only one of endings can be consider canonical, therefore only the correct set of choice matter, so all the other choices and endings are not canonical and couldn't happen which means other than correct choices are but a illusion to experience a different, not canonical, line of events. But in game we can, in real time, experience them. In a book, we would have to read "what if" tome added to main, canonical set of events, book.

Pretty stupid the add pregnant content without any way to end it -.- Now im stuck till she give birth.

I'm hoping/think the next update has birth, considering that once she's pregnant she can't do anything,
On a related note, the next update should be soon right? It's once a month or something?

When the version was published on Patreon, the dev warned patrons that there was no way to end it. Giving birth was delayed to the second, final update of the month to finish the pregnancy mechanic. It is finished in the latest Patreon version. Which would also be the only version the dev himself would have released to the public. So it was never planned by him to provide you with an unfinished pregnancy mechanic.

Depends. If it is not pirated first, then yes, it's once a month. After the second update this month, a new public version will be available, which will finish Kate's pregnancy content.

Can anyone please give a hint on what may cause / how to prevent, game crashes? Currently I'm running the game on a decent spec, win 10, laptop (i7, 2.6 Ghz processor 32 GB RAM). Game version is 0.4.3.5.
I had these kind of crashes before but I blamed the save compatibility. I started a new game but situation didn't change. Thank you.

Enable performance mode in the options. Might need to save it in options through the command menu after starting a new game, not sure. If so, just bring up the menu while in game, scroll down until you see the last two commands (after Save/Load, it's there if you scroll past). But I think it should work by using the options command in the title menu to change to performance mode.

Another possibility is that you need to assign your GPU to playing RPGM games. That might work too, and allow you to avoid performance mode.

 

[J_M]

Thank you very much for the suggestions. Will try that as soon as possible

 

[Paker Kent]

is have any update ?

 

[zARRR]

Yeah, I also don't like the BDLS (Biggus Dickkus Love Syndrome), as cheap excuse to have sex scene. But I would say it is cliche for a few more characters than just Kath and Emily. I mean for Emily, just as for Frisha, were both saved from harm by MC. Emily twice from bandits and Frisha from being raped by Dave. So it's somewhat understandable that they fell for MC without much more of courting and convincing. BDLS was but another reason. Although Emily could grief Marcus a bit longer and have a bit more of a struggle to replace him with MC, because right now it feels too soon and too easy, but that's the shortcut for the sake of porn I guess.
Rick's Mother, Verana (Or was it Verona? Well, either way it was a pizza kind of name) have BDLS too, which MC can discover by spying on her and later by fucking her in the workshop (Which i did by mistake by picking wrong option).
It was some time since i did dwarven questline, but I think Gawina also have BDLS, although "rekindling" her inner fire is a pretty smart, although somewhat funny, explanation for it.
Also, almost all girls by having sex with MC are getting, sooner or later, BDLS. But at least they didn't jump on it right after they saw it, so that a great plus.

As for Isha, I'm surely not going to help her. But she's a powerful witch and only one person close enough and capable of teaching MC magic, so "helping" her long enough to become more powerful is pretty reasonable goal before taking her down. Althrough Sabrina might cause some problems without some convincing first.


Well, then I'm happy for ya you finding this type of content enjoyable. Although I have to disagree. Games have already predetermined endings like books, a headcanon, but we cannot just skip to the last page, because we need to cheat to do so. The difference between game and book is the interaction part. Instead of reading about it, we can be in the heat of it. Everything what happens ouf of headcanon is but a illusion, a creator's answer to "what if" question made by his mind.

I have a small theory that is also related to the fact that with Isha’s update, Chyos will introduce a better alignment choices.
I think that if you side with Aisha you’ll get black magic while with Athia white magic, it’s just a theory (a sex game theory)

That is actually pretty reasonable to assume. By far MC learned pretty powerful spells which most will consider black magic, althrough with pretty "low' cost to pay for using them. Maybe with Athia we will have more helpful spells, like aoe healing and corruption cleansing? Although it seems somewhat pointless if Mira is going to become a permament companion. I mean it would be a pretty good choice for a dedicated healer class.

Mmmmmh that’s an interesting question.
Corruption cleansing could be actually really useful, you just unlock new stuff and you can make the girl return to her “normal” state without giving up some particular sex scene (Like anal).
I presume white magic will be healing and some damage effect spells (like lightning), while black magic, would be status damage with more damage spells.
Then for Mira, we don’t know if Tia and Lycia are going to follow us into the monastery or if Penny will just become a companion during the trip to the Monastery, we don’t even know is she is capable already of some spells.
My only blank space, is on the alignment status, we have tons of ways to make your character more corrupted and just 2 to make your character less corrupted, and even then there is no reason not to do those two “good” choices, you get Lyvia love points by burying and burning the soldiers.

Mira cannot be corrupted, so I think she's using magic during sex without even thinking about it, because I won't believe she's doing it be the sheer force of will. Maybe she had a theory about magic in the church, but didn't have a opportunity to use more spells or really have to wait for "god's blessing" to use them. Either way it would be a wasted oportunity to not make her a healer. Same goes for Bianca, a perfect textbook rogue... and even with her own hood!

I do think Mira can convince monastery abbot to let Tia, Lyvia and MC stay in the monastery as long as they will pay or work for thier stay there or (ugh...) NTR content with her. Dunno why you mentioned Penny though. Maybe you thought about Liandra, future baron of Kirlic? I don't think with her status it will be a problem.

As for aligment, yes.. it's pretty easy to gain much corruption, bo no way to get rid of it and, as you wrote, it's kinda pointless to decrease corruption as there is no reward for it.

Well, you have to be more specific than "game crashes". It would be nice if you could write if it is a common scheme, like for example, game is crashing quite often when you enter the village and if it is a crash straight to desktop or the game crashes with a message first. A console log would be of great help, yet it's, sadly, impossible to call upon console.

As Pervy Sensei wrote, you my want to try out performance mode, although I don't think it will be much of a help, as your specs are more than enough to run it pretty smoothly. Still, no harm done in checking it, as it may help.

Also, it would be nice if you could check with mode of rendering ASS (A Struggle with Sin) is using. Simply turn on the game, load a save file and press F2. You should see Frametrate and under it a rendering mode. (Might be hard to see as it's quite small font and may blend in with the sky) RPG Maker MV is using two methods, WebGL (GPU) if your graphic card can handle it and Canavas (CPU) if your processor can handle it. With your specs, mainly I7 and 32 RAM, i assume you have quite powerful GPU, so it should use WebGL.

If it's using Canavas, your I7 2,6GHz (probably with boosting to 3.9G-4,1GHz) may not handle your system, background programs and ASS at the same time and just crash the game. If it is that, you may have outdated GPU drives, as WebGL is based on OpenGL (to be more precise, any with and above OpenGL ES 2.0) library.

Gentlemen, thank you very much for your interest in helping me.
Now with the symptoms I'm having :
- game freezes in random locations and at apparently random intervals (at least I didn't notice a pattern so far) ie becomes unresponsive to any command. The game had never crashed to the desktop though and no error messages were available.
- I noticed that after winning a battle the exp counter is very slow sometimes taking more than 30 second to finish counting the points that the character had gained in that battle.
As advised, I pressed F2 during gameplay: the FPS varies between 230 - 246 WebGL mode
The Video Card is NVIDIA RTX 2060 and the driver version is 457.2

WebGL is working, so it's safe to say GPU is not causing problems.
On the side note though, 457.2 drivers are "pretty old" as they are from 2020 and the latest version of drivers for notebooks RTX 2060 is version 496.49 and 496.79 for standard PC, so if you want to play most recent games you may want to update them.

As for the symptoms, your game is not crashing, but freezing, yes?
Well, as far as I remember RMMV (Rpg Maker MV) is using only one CPU's core and doing everything single-threading.
Well... I7 of 9th or 10th generation (as I assume is in your notebook) really shouldn't have problems with all the events in ASS game even with one core, but it still may be too much for CPU (Even boosted) to handle everything (including OS, and multiple background programs) fast enough. Especially on bigger maps with huge amount of events like Arenfield or Rumah. And if you, somehow, put ASS game on HDD drive instead of SSD drive, then it will take longer to perform such tasks and thus you may notice the delay as freezing.

I don't know which notebook you have, but I would advise you to move ASS game folder to any SSD drive (I assume you have your OS on SSD, so moving game folder to desktop would sufice if you don't have the game there already) and then turn off any unnecessary program (skype, teamspeak, steam, origin, chrome/firefox,) to relief your CPU of any "hardwork" and then try to play the game to check if these freezes occur in Arenfield and Rumah during gameplay and/or during waiting.

Yes we need Bianca as a companion!
She has a cute love route and she is an interesting character, it would be a shame letting her rot as a normal npc.
I mentioned Penny posts ago, explaining how her corrupted version is totally different from her normal self. (This example could have been also made with Natasha).
Yeah the ntr price with the monks, it's a thing that Chyos will never miss the opportunity to put in; for me ntr is best as a menace, fighting against your rival/bastard, the thrill is always nice.
Btw I am wondering if the monastery will be like Rumah (Or the future Orc village), with minor female characters.
We can have a slutty nun, an innocent naive nun, a milf nun...
If the monastery is male only, I will be kinda disappointed.

You wrote "Then for Mira, we don’t know if Tia and Lycia are going to follow us into the monastery or if Penny will just become a companion during the trip to the Monastery". So I assumed when you wrote Penny you meant Lianda, as I see no reason for Penny to traven to monastery, while Lianda could on her way to Kirlic. But I may missed something though, as, sadly, I have pretty loose memory.

As or monastery, I think it will be with both males and nuns. Males to have (ugh...) NTR content, and nuns to have normal sexual content. Also nuns have to pray to strength the seal, so I think it's pretty understandable to assume they will be there.

All right, I shall do exactly that and will return (hopefully not ) with the result.
Once again thank you very much for all your goodwill and time you spent on me. Much appreciated!

 

[DeleteThisShit]

Hey people

After having played about 50+ hours of the game, I can confidently say that this game is a GEM. Rarely have I ever been so immersed in a game's universe - the music, the attention to detail...it truly feels like it's own universe. Can't believe I almost quit at the intro, since this is a truly wonderful game with some incredibly hot scenes, favorite one being becoming an ''outsider'' chieftain and then fucking half orc women, then cucking all the other villagers by fucking their babes and even the previous chieftain's wife who's son you killed... god damn - now THAT's kinky.

Great game is all I can say.

I will create an attachment PDF file as well that will go into detail on how to min-max the shit out of the RPG elements of this game and ''cheese'' it so to speak - would anyone be interested in that? I've killed level 20 boss mobs in this game with only Tia by my side at like level 8 lmao - shit's nuts yo.
