RPGM Ren'Py Completed Alansya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris [v1.0.5 Renpy] [Heaven Studios]

[NTR is love NTR is life]

Just don't upload it here then - That DLC will be freely available via our homepage.
All content that is considered "forbidden" will be downloadable via our homepage for free - From Bestiality to Shota to whatever.

I highly doubt they'll give this game a pass just because said content is in form of a free DLC.

After all, their alleged reason for banning games like these is not of a moral one but that they don't want the forum to be a "target of lawsuits", and, according to them in past discussions, linking to those games - even if not hosted here - still could constitute an endorsement of said content and thus become a liability.

The Admins are so strict about this that they don't divulge which games have been banned and as well forbid anyone from creating a topic with a simple list containing them. Although so far they haven't started cracking down on the mere mention of those games in random posts.

Anyway, instead of making assumptions, I asked them directly in this thread.

My question:

If a game has a piece of content in the form of a free optional DLC, not hosted here and not bundled with the base game, but which breaks rule 7: Does the game get banned or is it allowed to stay?

Anyway, instead of making assumptions, I asked them directly in this thread.

My question:

Well let me clarify exactly how it will work.

This game <<Fleeting Iris>> Will never have Shota content nor any other "forbidden" content available inside it.
There will be a separate game - A Standalone game - Which will host all that content, and that will be available via our homepage.

This Standalone game is not anything you can install to upgrade Fleeting Iris, or merge them together.

If you get banned for "linking" two games together via their names, then ok it could be banned, else I don't really think so.
So FI will never have that content in it, neither here or anywhere else, and tags will not be updated to Shota nor bestiality - Since it will be in another standalone game.

Hope that answers your questions.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd advise though to not refer to it as a "DLC" since it might create confusion. "DLC" means an addition/expansion to an already existing game(or piece of software, to be more technical and exact). That's why pretty much every DLC requires the base game in order to be played, even if the DLC's content is detached from the base game.

Another question, will the main game receive additional content, or will all the 2021 content be in form of a standalone game(s)?

Fleeting Iris will have all the incoming free roam DLCs, plus some story extension DLC.
Fleeting Iris IF ( standalone game) will feature bestiality, shota, halloween, christmas content.

So I played the content and well I have to say for the family route is it possible to ignore jack I feel he ruins the mood but then it's just me.

To be precise, DLC stands for DownLoadable Content - Which can be implemented in any way a developer sees fit really.
But I hear you, point taken!

He's a big part of the family route yes - Perhaps play a different route!

 

[Jack Townsend]

Yeah, I wish they would have given Jack and Arthur their own separate routes. One for Jack may happen in the future. If you want, try petitioning them to make one for Arthur as well.

That's factually wrong. An acronym's name shouldn't be automatically taken as its literal meaning. DLC was created(and popularized) for the specific purpose of adding content on top of an already existing game.

Downloadable content (DLC) is additional content created for an already released video game(...)

As much as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea thinks it's a democracy, and that you think DLC can be anything that is downloadable, neither are correct.

I recently started exploring the Fallen state in the game. I found that even though i stayed exclusive to Melvin's route, the dialogue made it sound like if Ayame was banging half the town. The way I played it, the only men Ayame had sex with were Melvin, Matt, those two guys in the bathroom, and later on Ralph. Granted, she's hardly little miss purity anymore, but neither is she the indiscriminate slut that the fallen dialogue makes her out to be. Hell for her to get Melvin's endings, it required her to stay loyal to him, and even refuse sex from members of other routes. Also, in Clarke's ending Ayame says how she was raped by Melvin. With the removal of the vaginal penetration scene, Melvin never really got to rape her. He molested her yes, but did not rape her (not that either one is good mind you). And the scene where Clarke takes Ayame for the first time, I hope that Starke will rewrite it for a virgin Ayame. I guess in a nutshell, I'm hoping that some dialogue changes are made to better reflect all the choices that a player can make in the game. I know it's probably gotten alot bigger than any of the devs ever imagined it becoming when they first started making it, and changes had to be made accordingly. Just throwing this out there, hoping to help make an already good game slightly better.

Thanks for the info - You are properly right, the thing about the Clarke route sounds right, because the first scenes have been updated and dialogues later have properly not been.
The thing about fallen state - IDK, think there is a good chance if you play and gets fallen state, you try to test out events in town right? There are already now a good amount of free-roam content and more will come. So if people play the open routes(melvin/sato) they will properly always try at least some of the free-roam, making her a bit slutty.
Anyway I will forward your critique to Starke - Thx.

DLC has to be integrated into the original game, otherwise, it's not DLC.

A standalone side-project, even if it takes place in the same universe as the original game, is not DLC.

Again, you and whoever else are free to call it DLC, as North Korea is free to call itself a democracy, neither are correct.

Thanks dude. And I understand why he wrote it the way he did. It's only natural to assume that anyone who has progressed that far into Melvin's route would be slutting around town . But not everyone does that, and I think some of the writing should reflect that choice. Thank you again, and have a really goodnight.

People understand the word and meaning of DLC, and since out of all the extra content being developed for FI, around 90% is actually implemented into the game as your describe above, but the rest, about 10% is not.......
We will just use the word DLC, but thanks for the feedback

The word 'content' is what's causing problems, since it is used to refer to something that is contained, for example 'the contents of your bag'. So DLC is supposed to be housed within something else to fulfill 'content' part of that acronym, and a separate project even set in the same universe by definition isn't 'content'.

However, I really don't feel all that strongly about whether Starke calls it DLC or not, I'm just pointing out why the language is causing confusion.

Its not that I don't agree with any of you - Its really not... its just kind of..... not that important really.
But sure sure, we can discuss it some more if that's what is important.

When announced back in the good old days(5-6 years ago when development started on this game) THEN there was voting on these types of extra content the plan was actually to release it as DLC's. AND that have always been the plan.

Its actually only here in recent times(around 1 month ago or so) it was decided to release "some of the content" as standalone.
This was because of various reasons: 1. Easy to avoid patreon restrictions this way, 2. Option to improve that content in the improved version of the engine(higer ress), 3. It's more easy to speak about the total package of extra content as the word DLC to patreons, since it comes out in small patches each month.

So yeah a bit of the content like mr. NTR lover says is properly not what you call DLC.
And so what really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For you guys we can call it "EXTRA CONTENT" if that floats your boat.

 

[Jack Townsend]

How about calling it an expansion pack. There are alot of pc games (the Command and Conquer series being an example) that had additional stand alone content that while not big enough to be considered a stand alone game, was also not considered small enough to be a simple game add on or dlc. These were called expansion packs. If it helps for the sake of diplomacy, just call it an expansion pack.

 

[Deleted member 3376915]

It kind of is updated. There have been a few changes but nothing that you will take note of properly.
The only thing there are missing is Free-Roam diagram which I am working on as we speak.

Yes, I mean the guide for free roaming. If I'm not mistaken, starting from the 1.0.1 update to the latest, there are some additions that are not in the main game. I can't know what the additions are because they are missing or incomplete in the changelog. Usually we can see here

but now it's been deleted. I hope you can create a guide for free roaming.
Thank You
