RPGM Accursed: Emma's Path [v0.2.24b RC] [MegaloDEV]

[Astolust]

The background plot is good, I guess. At this point the "demons are not evil, the king is the real villain" already was used so many times, that real plot twist could be if the Hero was right, and all the "mercifull conquest" was elaborate ruse to spread propaganda and doubt.

Loved the design, dialogues and narrative, so far is the strongest point this game. The choices and situations are beliavable.

From get go, it shows that the party is not really united. What look like a small detail, but make more sense for the party members want have some action with this way.

Also, is made clear that Emma has own frustations towards the Hero. What is important for the "emphasis on cheating" angle, since cheating is essence, something made of one own volution, not just forced because circunstances. Since will be a option to see the events from the Hero perpective, I guess he will be awakening fairly early?

Thanks!
Yeah, the core idea specifically with this game was to take various tropes and blend them together into a believable and interesting manner (including the porn). We want everything in the game to mesh.
I'll try not to give too much away but I feel like we've all but said he will wake during the course of the game.

love the fmc character design. question tho are all the images in the front page already in this version of the game?

 

[Lolcap]

Anyone have full save

 

[Xarsast12]

OK at first I thought a game that will do corruption right.. slowly as she breaks the curse but than that fucking dream ruined it. She is no corrupted as soon as he changed from Cross she would of been fighting back she is a damn warrior not just saying it feels good and letting others around her. That ruined it.. the dream when she is not corrupted and her not fighting back and start attacking.. total bull shit.

Why did dev had to ruin what looked to be a good slow progressive corruption into something that suddenly has dreams of being corrupted... ugg.

I'm not going to play this until it gets a fair few sub iterations in, and not a sub iteration of a sub iteration of zero. but how slow do you feel the corruption should have been? Don't know if you tried it but, Star Knightess Aura is a painfully long winded corruption game that take dozens upon dozens of in game days to move the level of corruption up a little for all the insignificant changes down to the main character's psyche, if that is how slow you want the corruption go, I would rather what this games rate of corruption (possibly) is, provided it isn't instant change, like a certain unfortunate Netorare h-manga that had a decent first two chapters with an attractive, and strict Public Moral Committee President being trained, before ending next chapter with a time skip to an exaggerated gyaru slut after a single disappointingly quick fuck with the original boyfriend.

Yeah, I actually agree with you about the dream, was a turn off, considering the plot-aim.

I will not argue about how fast or slow corruption should be, at end of day this is a H-game, and delay things too much can bring dislike of target audience. Said this corruption and cheating is one thing, and being raped to slutness is more akin to mind break.

Thanks for the feedback.
That specific scene's intent isn't corrupting Emma in a broad sense. Her "psyche" is affected about as much as you having any generic nightmare would affect your own. Perhaps we need to alter to the dialogue when she wakes up or add in a scene where she discusses it Garland to make this more clear to the player.

Thanks for the reply!!

To be honest, the problem was not the dream in itself, but more in the delivery. Until that point Emma(and the player) had choice about what happenned, while dream come off without much build up, regardless of choices, and end up felling imposed.

Honestly, this more hindsight and nitpicking. I, for one, don't had noticed the problem about the dream until previous comment pointed out, and end up thinking about it. At this point, the dream is not enough to ruin either the game or the expectations on it, but if is really important and necessary to the plot, then delivery will be important.

Obligatory and trap events are always trick to put in a game with choices, and both solutions that are presented work well, so don't worry too much.

Is nice that you guys are receiving feedback well!!

Got it. We'll take another look at the timing and delivery of the scene then as well.

Regarding feedback: While I'm confident we'll pull it off, the overall plot we are implementing is very tricky to do right. And I'm just talking about the non-porn aspects. In reality, what we are doing is a balancing act and sometimes you don't notice you are off in a certain area until someone on the outside points it out. So we really appreciate any kind of constructive feedback.

How much content is planned?

Like how many hours will the game take to complete when development is done?
The goal is around 30-40ish hours for the average playthrough.

How much porn?
A lot.

Any chance of pregnancy? For the main character or side characters. Monster or demon pregnancy would be even more fun.

 

[pheno]

This game has one of the biggest potentials!! I'm usually not a fan of RPGM Or Fantasy theme games but this one is a massive exception! Good work dev, looking forward to future updates for sure.

I'm hoping the corruption/naive nature of the female protagonist happens at a good pace before everyone inevitably turns her into a sloot haha

thank you

 

[biniweti]

any new scene in v0.0.10a?

 

[Dickkkkon]

female protagonist ... glad to see more games like this .

Both your solutions are fine, but I'm gonna just say that dreams are dreams. We don't have control of our actions in a dream. She can't "fight back" in a dream if she isn't in a lucid dream or something.

 

[The_fallen_dragon]

Anyway to deal with the lag, it's the only reason I won't play this game

Not as a gameplay mechanic.

Exactly. It is simply a dream turned nightmare. That's the intent of the backgrounds changing from pink "lovey dovey" to dark.

If you are on a laptop with a dGPU, try forcing the .exe to use the dGPU.
