Ren'Py Bastard Chronicles [v0.11 Public] [Empertus]

[Empertus]

how to get to h-scenes? i maxed out stats but i get nothing :<

This game is closer to Love and Sex than to a regular visual novel, so sex scenes need to be unlocked through relationship development via quests as well. Also, I guess I should add a pause or checkpoint somewhere in there coz rn you can miss them if you’re skipping.

Combat needs to be intuitive...............Not a recreation of go fish..............

Would you mind sharing some ways I could make it more intuitive? Feel free to reply here or on Discord — I’d really appreciate it.

Any way to cheat the combat? The fight at the end of week 3 seems ridiculous. One member down before I even a get a turn, and party members getting one-shotted by enemy crits.

And yeah — it says v0.1, but don’t let that scare you off.
This isn’t a five-minute tech demo. There’s a solid chunk of story, multiple scenes, choices, and early mechanics already in place.

You can tell that these devs are pretty cool, right off the bat.

Did you spread your stat points? Skill points? Usable items? If yes, then I will have to rebalance it

Reasonably, yes. My main problem was that for some reason Garetha was positioned in front in this fight, and the first two opponents attacked and killed her before I had a chance to do anything. I did manage to win in the end (one of the attacks missing so Garetha stays alive, and the magician and halberd guys not hitting quite that hard), so it is doable though still RNG dependent. I don't think a lot of players would mind if you made that fight slightly easier

As a follow-up question: how many of the memories for the three LIs are supposed to be accessible for v0.1? I have finished all the quests but have only unlocked Lamora's "Following Upstairs" memory.

Yup, that’s my bad. Lamora’s “Following Upstairs” is the only one I’ve added so far. There should’ve been a total of 10 (though not all are accessible in a single playthrough yet).

I’m fixing it as we speak, so if you (or anyone reading this) find anything else worth addressing, don’t hesitate to comment or message me.

This is a solid bening...begnin...beginninn....start! I love the overall feel and lore.

A few suggestions, maybe sex scenes longer? A few different positions with each girl at least? A tutorial for the game mechanics? I only unlocked the affection sex scenes, I dunno if there are more or if I accidentally skipped them, maybe a hint if we are about to skip a side event? I am playing on a 32" screen I found the notifications of affection, dominance etc over the characters very small and quick, maybe a bigger size and slow it up just a lil? The girls heads on the map a bit bigger?

Overall great work! Thank you for the game!

All suggestions went straight to todos. Thanks!

Which LLM did you use to write the story? No shade, just curious if I'm correctly able to identify the model. It reads like deepseek.

Well I did write the story myself. LLM was used to polish it and add some style coz i'm not that good of a writer but no, I never used deepseek.

What is rejected_lamora_mansion? Her interactions check this stat, but it's undefined for me even though I rejected her in the intro. Is it some other thing?

 

[Leonhart245]

does anyone have a full save?

In the part where it has ye set up your party formation (the first mission I did after the prologue), I put Garetha in the back of the others.

I had put Garetha in the back as well, to dish out healing and blinding lights, but for some reason in that fight she was all the way in front.

The text of under the name of the skills & such are so tiny that it is very difficult to read (example: When ye choose your class & the text on the class selection menu is so tiny ye almost need a magnifying glass just to read it).

The PM I sent ye should help.

You can add an option skip combat and other rpg elements who just want to enjoy the story.

 

[RuneGrey]

Looks interesting enough that I'd like to keep an eye on it, especially once more content is added.

Respectfully, adding awful mini-games makes me think you either hate yourself or your players.
