RPGM Adventuring with Belfast in Another World [v0.5] [Templar Studios]

[EmiliaQAQ]

Hi everyone. I have good news and "bad" news!

I'm done with the update (Good news ) but I'm not uploading it right now (Bad news ) as I want to make a "full update" Vanilla and NTR run just to check everything out. I did a test run and except for some typos and some rogue visual items that I didn't remove after a scene was done, everything's working as it should. Testing the game is pretty hard as I need to think things like "what if the player choses to leave this place right now?" and make sure they can roam around as much as they want/can without messing up triggers and what not. I also find myself writing and rewriting dialogue as it sometimes sounds weird to me but when I change it.... It sounds weird again... At some point I just have to force myself to stop changing it or I'll never release anything.

In other news, there's a lot of changing dialogue in random NPCs in this update depending on how far you are in the main quest but a problem has quickly become evident. How... Can a player know that an NPC has new dialogue without having to check each and every singe one of them every now and then? The one solution I've though of is to add a floating "!" or something similar on NPCs with new dialogues but that would only work with static NPCs. There's also the existential level question of "what happens if only I care about flavor text?" and all that effort goes to waste. It's a problem cause I really like when the world slowly changes when you do shit. Do you guys like it as well?

That's all for now. I apreciate your patience and growing interest in this remake. I really hope you like the coming update. I'll see you again in a couple of days.

This is an interesting idea, and I find it thought-provoking. First I want to answer you. At least I like this subtle change of environment.
So, what do you think about adding a "chat symbol" (as shown in the picture ) above the character's head to replace the exclamation mark "!"?
I have thought about it seriously, and my reason is: chat symbols are more likely to be seen as dialogue or inner activities in traditional RPG games; while exclamation marks may be seen as pornographic content or other important events involving tasks. But you don't want the latter. The specific performance of other NPCs is actually the so-called "side description", which is used to set off the main plot and characters, so that players can get a better plot experience or enjoy being cuckolded.
If this is the case, you can do it boldly. I will support you to add new dialogue texts generated by these NPCs as the situation develops! These will make the game content richer and more layered. If the player doesn't like it, then he can choose not to read it, which is the player's freedom; if he likes it (like me), he will try to read it all, just like collecting all the achievements of the game, that is enjoying excellent works. I believe someone will be willing to do this.
Anyway, kudos to you for your work! Looking forward to playing it.

Hello everyone!

I'm back after a few days and I bring with me the update. I'm gonna upload it into Mediafire and Workupload but I'm reporting my post so that an uploader can help me mirror/upload on the other hosts. For some reason, most likely how I connect to the internet, most Hosts drop my uploads after a while. When I first made the threat I had to refresh and reupload several times before finally getting some hosts working so I'm skipping that shit all together and asking for help from one of our friendly uploaders/mods.

I would also like to ask the mod/uploader reading this post to help me add the Virgin tag to the thread. I hate myself for forgetting that tag considering it's pretty key for the setting. Thank you very much for your help.

The update is, at least I think, pretty sizable. It took me 3 hours to play through one route but take that with a grain of salt as I may have lost time checking things and whatnot. The way I planned this update was by making a goal of how far into the story of the OG game I wanted to go, and working towards that point. The next update will be a little different as I'll focus more on trying to release it on march than reaching a specific place in the story.

I'm also adding my "control" saves so you can start the update in the same state I did.

Here's the link for the update. I really hope you guys enjoy it.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really enjoy adding this kind of texts but I do have to admit that it's pretty time consuming. I also thought that a "..." icon was a good choice for NPCs with new dialogue so I'll take a look at some cool looking ballons and see if one of them fits what I want. I'm happy to tell you that the new release has been shared so I hope you can give it a try and thar you end up enjoying it!

美滴很！美滴很！让老夫好好地品鉴一番哈哈哈~~~

Just typical japanese NTR, not my kind of gaming I like.

At start I liked it as you could build up a trust with the MC and Belfast, but no matter it just a lost cause, because she get kidnapped and raped, which leads to her already being suddenly a mindless fuckdoll. For people who love the constant NTR, this game is a real gem, but for me who love build ups and longer story, this is just a trash game, so my rating will be only 2 stars out of 5 for the state this game is atm, maybe will try in future and rate it when it a finished game, but not really attracted to play it again anytime soon. Wish you luck with developing, sorry it not my sort of game.

If you don't mind, where could I also acquire those assets? They'd be useful for me to use in a game I'm interested in developing mostly for a practice of trial and error games until I can feel confident enough to create & use my own assets.

Same I wanna know too if possible.

 

[Komdot]

So the NTR route in this remake is softer than the original?

Are the differences just rapes or was there more to it?

You're absolutely right with that scene (And others that will be added in the future). Since it's a "Bad Ending", it rushes the corruption to the max without caring about the build up at all. The other choice would have been to keep the tone dark for the entire scene but I personally find that kind of depressing. What I do have to say is that those scenes aren't cannon (they're just dreams here), I use them as part of the plot, and the "real" scenes with the MC in the vanilla route and the Bull in the NTR route are a lot better paced. I hope you give it another chance in the future.

I bought a few "build-your-own" kits from the original creator of this style of sprites from DLSite. Then the ones you see in game are made by me by using those kits and channeling every ounce of artistic ability I have hahaha. Other assets are scavenged from the RPGmaker Forums where most, not all, are free to use.

The OG game sometimes turn weirdly dark for some reason. I believe there are even screenshots of that one fucked up Japanese movie about torture and societal collapse. It's a black and white CG.

Now I would say that in a way it's fair to say that the answer to your questions is, yes, the big difference between both games is that the Michelle of this game isn't a rapist. He's a dick and pushy, but he knows not to cross the line. I don't know if you've played the OG game but I felt kind of scammed that Michelle just ended up being a run of the mill NTR antagonist. I mean it's fine, and maybe it was just how I interpreted the MTL, but I really expected him to be more of the casanova type. He's the casanova type in this remake.

I would add that my vison for the remake is to create scenes and plot in places that seem to me like missing opportunities. In this 0.2 release you get 4 pixel NTR scenes that fill in a huge gap in time I thought was kind of important, which will help the flow of corruption. This on top of Michelle's personality being more in line with basic human behaviour should prove to be enough for both experiences to be different.

I thought this game would be about ambushing RUC and INLA troops during the Troubles. Rather disappointed, frankly.

Okay i'm willing too give it another try, being a girl myself it weird, but I kinda wanted MC would had been Belfast's first guy and take her virginity, after wouldn't minded if something happened with other guys, but when went to sleep with Belfast in my home respecting her as a decent guy, to see then her being kidnapped and raped kinda did hurt a bit. But if you say it was just a dream/nightmare then I can overlook it, not that i mind NTR, I only don't like Japanese NTR, that from begining to end constant NTR with MC being a moron and LI being mindless fuck dolls. Sorry if i sounded a bit harsh, but thanks for clarify it. I might have reacted to fast.

I gave it a new try, am now at the start of chapter 2 and my apology, I shouldn't have reacted so fast. It was just those 2 nightmares I seen now are really hurtful. But glad they just nightmares, maybe not even bad he gets those, because they could fuel him to be more of a man and protect the woman he loves. I will continue chapter 2 later and so far it not to bad the game, i wonder what paths have you planned? True love, Netorase, Netorare or Blackmail/corruption?

Did you like the update?

About the pictures and using AI to remaster them, I tried doing it with the faces which are pretty pixelated (Which are the pictures I believe you're speaking of) but I couldn't. It would either spit out the same image or just morph it into something weird. Now, since you're the author and are cool with it, I'll try again and see if I can make it work.

Thank you for playing and even bookmarking. I'm happy you liked the game and that you're even willing to support it.

I don't have anything set up at the moment as it took me waay to long to put out the update hahaha. I'll most likely open up a Patron for anyone interested in supporting me in the future so you're more than welcome to join when I share it here.
