VN Ren'Py Ancient Times [v0.2] [Garus]

[Carnagie]

Love the game but the sandbox brings absolutely nothing to the table.

This isn't the kind of game where you have a dozen micro-stories that you can run through if you want, it's a single mostly cohesive story with some variations within scenes. So adding sandbox is like... idk.

It's like putting an unskippable puzzle ad every 5 minutes in a movie. People aren't gonna enjoy it, just get frustrated.

The reviews and ratings are very harsh. I know the newly added sandbox mechanic is terrible and unnecessary, but the developer could have easily fixed it. All we had to do was report the issue to them. Instead, they ruined a potentially good game just because of the sandbox. Its rating dropped from over four to three. If I were the developer, I would have lost all motivation by now. So, don't be surprised if this project is abandoned.

And as predicted the reviews fill with 1*, game is permanently stuck in the mud. Dev eventually abandons.

Because people are cunts. Screeching about a game they haven't paid for or even played.



The game hasn't been ruined. The sandbox is stupid and doesn't work properly, but the scenes are still there the same as they always were.

What's more amazing is that games like this one are the exact ones that are being nuked all over the internet and forced offline. But the absolute fucking geniuses of F95 are more than happy to do the work of the payment processors for them. Congrats guys. nice one

I like the premise of the game, the lewd and the artwork. The sandbox is annoying and I got stuck trying to play the game from the start, can't progress the story (see Spoiler).

Hopefully this can improve, this game could be a great game I am sure.

For the exceptions I have no idea how to fix them, I mostly just chose to Ignore or Rollback, as for the locations you need to press the red gem near the time icon and then press the location.

We are all stuck at that part, it doesnt seem to end there though.

Same happened to me, game breaking bug at the first encounter in the first freeroam.

 

[GGW74]

Some sort of typo or repeated word syntax error:
Miriel in the tent, the second time you see her, when she asks to come with you:
"He was to to be with him, big with blond hair."

Bug:
When dreaming on the ship:
"Hi there! Tea?"
"Aaaaaaah!!!"

You have to skip time a bunch until an arrow appears to get past the sandbox. No indication, just clicked until it happened
If it's NOT that, there's an arrow at the bottom left of the nav menu that lets you spin in place in the bedrooms for some reason. I did that in both rooms and skipped two or three days until an exclamation point appeared. And there's the red diamond button that need to be used, I guess. WHY?! WHO TF KNOWS! lol.

This game is made like crap with a terrible UI with too small of words. I will wager a "remaster" or something will happen soon.

Syntax error: After the blowjob from Melissa:
"When she was done, Melissa got out of bed and straightened his *should be 'her'* clothes."

Another error:

Yes, I too have found it annoying until I found how it worked.

So the 2 comments I quoted answers the question about the game sandbox except for " how do I view a scene "

Here's the thing:- when you get the exclamation mark it means that next scene will happen there.

And how you access it? :- before clicking in the exclamations mark, click the red button, just beside the hourglass. Then click on the exact exclamation mark( by exact I mean the scene place not the general area one).

How I did it:- when a mark appears I click on the it and then you can see where is the mark exactly right? So before actually going to the place of the mark just click the red button. And then the scene plays.
[I know its just annoying, like why the red button, maybe so that the game doesn't crash I think. ]

This way you get the scene. Hope it helps

Thanks for the explanation!! This is really annoying. Since making it a sandbox wasn't enough, he added more complications. What a way to ruin what was already good and promised to be interesting. But it's okay, he has every right to do what he thinks is best.

 

[jotaurbano]

Intresting..to say something...and where is the Lesbian tag??

 

[Dabi22]

Thanks, Someone needs to add this to the OP

 

[Woodstock_1983]

The Dev has SERIOUSLY got to get rid of that blasted gem. I'm getting annoyed to have to keep clicking it EVERYTIME just to move on in the game. It tedious. The layout reminds me of Desert Stalker but with that BLASTED gem BS. When I click a location with an !, I want to get the scenes not having to click the blasted gem just for a scene.
