Ren'Py Ataegina Remaster [Prologue Act I] [Kthulian]

[PickerLewd]

The developer improved Act 1 a lot before releasing it on Steam, so Act 2 will definitely have patches with improvements and some more endings .

I certainly hope so. Because those endings left a bad taste in my mouth. Honestly those were the only parts of the game I didn't enjoy.

there were some nice endings too.

Funny you should mention that. It was my feeling when I finished Callisto as well. I loved it all except the endings didn't feel right at all.

So I went back and with the help of the Dev, made a major upgrade and mod to the story with new endings.

It's called "Callisto-X" and the final ver 1.0 will be out in a couple weeks. Not to say you'll like it either but I do!!

 

[Kthulian]

Hey there folks, sorry for staying away for so long, I just needed some time out, focusing on learning new stuff to improve, and RL always have a way to throw stuff at you. Anyway...

So the plan is to add anims and polish to Act 1 for a Steam release, is that right?

Will there be a sequel to this game or has it really been finished?

I wasn't super impressed with the endings. Also what was the point of the pregnancy points in general? They literally did nothing at all.

The plan is to have a complete remaster of everything, Act I (mostly everything) because the quality bar is very low compared to what I want in the end. Act II to add animations and the rpg style I'm looking for as the main focus. Then some other things like extra endings (the current 15 with variants too short ), gallery, endings gallery, maybe add some extra languages etc etc

As it is Thanksgiving here just wanted to thank ya Kthulian as well your game has been a constant source of enjoyment so am sending messages of regards to all Devs who made games like that possible, which included this fantastic title too. So yea once again gratitude for your effort!

Thanks for reading Dev, best wishes for ahead

Thank you, you're so nice.

Cheers!!

It looks like the Act 1 beta is coming soon to Steam.

Several previews have been uploaded with many remastered scenes, you can see them in the news if you use Steam, and I have also uploaded them here in lower quality:

Spoiler: Previews

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Quoting the news.

The game will have 3 modes:

Full RPG experience
This would be considered the most complete way to play, you will have maps to travel, secrets to find, figure out where to go and what to do, and of course, fight opponents and improve your skills. To sum it up, it's exploration and free roam in addition to the two modes below.

Only combat
In this mode, you will skip pretty much all the "traveling and exploration" but you will still have the battles with the opponents.

Visual novel only
This mode focus is to be a novel, it's solely based on the story and the choices you make, and doesn't require tactics or investigation from the player, all combats are auto wins.


Full RPG experience and Only combat will have a mode that allows you to skip the battles... Or not if you dare .

I like that you are paying attention , that's mostly it but every one can check

The demo is almost ready and I'll share it here with you all, you can check some of the things I've been doing by taking

I plan to add more endings, but doubling them...? Probably not. I'm happy that you reached them all though, it's not that easy. All 15 of them, even the variations?

More endings sounds great and I have you wish listed on Steam. Do you have any plans after the Steam release for a new title? You and/or your writing team are severely needed again.

Way to many slow burn/no burn stories out their lacking any story except for the will they wont they BS.

We need you back man, in the words of Steve Rogers aka Captain America Kthulian Assemble!

At least that's what's going to be on my New Years wish list!

You can make as many endings as you like, as long as there are enough Metallica song titles right?

Who's house it that anyway?

I made a review pretty early on during development, so I can't make one now that I have got around to finishing the game. So I'll just leave some words here.

I think, ultimately, the biggest flaw in this game is the technical writing abilities of the author. I think the dev is able to world build and come up with the overall plot quite well, but actually writing the novel part is beyond their abilities (or their English proficiency). The dialogues are especially one dimensional, as is the general character interactions, and as a result, the character depth.

The other major flaw, as someone that played the evil route, was the completely abrupt switches into "evil dialogue branches." The vast majority of the script is written from a good guy perspective, but for certain scenes, the alignment variable is called and the MC turns into a complete sociopath. And then he goes right back to being a amicable dude. It's jarring and as far I can remember, there was never an introspective moment where the MC convinces the reader that he is just acting like a good guy to fool those around him. It might be implied by the fact that he tells his mind controlled sluts to act normal around others, but to me, that comes off more as a handwave justification for the limitation of the script which mostly just follows the same script for all three branches.

In one scene, he would be like "tee hee, you are so awesome Kat, let's have some wholesome sex." Then in the very next scene, the evil score could activate and he turns into some dominant gigachad, "Take it bitch, you slut, you cock sleeve, stupid cockslut bitch, take your master's seed, you worthless slut Alma!" And the whole time, I don't know what the MC's motivation even is. I know what my motivation is. To make him ascend into evil overlord status and ensalve all the sluts. I am certain this ending exists, since we are tracking the alignment variable. But the MC never acts consistent with this motivation, even though I know this is almost certainly what he will do at the end. And if you are to tell me that the MC wasn't sure until he got to the pivotal point at the end, then you also failed in conveying this fight against corruption, where he ultimately succumbs to his base desires despite trying to do good. No, that kind of narrative was never supported in the script.

And when it comes to sex scenes and the sex dialogues, oh boy, it becomes so repetitive. And so basic. Not to mention almost all sex scenes happen because the dev wants to put a sex scene here, rather than for any kind of coherent or plot relevant reason. And the sex scenes become so cheap and inconsequential. It leads to the sense that the game is overstaying its welcome. I honestly felt that way 2/3 of the way in.

The combat didn't quite reach the potential I envisioned for it when I first tried it many years ago, but among renpy games, it's still a pretty good combat system.

And the work ethic of the dev is something truly commendable!

I wish you the best of luck on your next project.

Unless you try it without the mod I can't really tell if that's the cause or not. But if nobody else is having that issue we can assume what's going on.

Thanks, the wishlists help more than most people think.

I do have plans once Ataegina is done, but I do have a RL job, so it's uncertain, unless Steam pays off, and I get to do this for a living, now that would be nice and my ultimate goal. Who wouldn't want to do what they like for a living right?
If not, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing as I can, and having people like you around certainly helps with the motivation moving foward

ASSEMBLED!!

ALL of them

According to an extensive search that consumed great part of my life I figured it out... Nah, I just googled it and there are 188 Metallica songs. That is most definitely not the number of endings this will have

Thanks for the feedback, constructive criticism is always welcome.

I'm not an English native speaker, so I can understand what you mean, there are words and expressions that are far different from what I use, and there is a great amount of synonyms and stylized conversations that I would be able to do differently if I was writing in my language.

I can understand the "evil version" critic too, that's a clear weakness of mine (being evil or thinking evil ) but if you are interested and willing to (Or anyone else really) I'm open to listen (read) what would you write for specific sentences if you are evil instead of good. Really, having input is awesome.
About having him treat Kat one way and then treat Alma another way I will not agree with your point, I can treat people differently from each other unrelated to my "Karma".

Both the sex scenes and the combat are getting an upgrade, maybe you will like them more once they are done

Thanks, I do try my best, so it's nice to have my work ethic praised.

Cheers!
