VN Ren'Py Blood of the Dragon [v0.2.1] [Twin Axe Games]

[JJJ84]

Finished the update, and I must say I quite like this one.

Generally, I have a soft spot for fantasy titles which I'm ngl (lol), but yeah, the world building seems to be well done.
Characters seem unique with no one character overlapping with another.

Not really sure I have a favorite LI, but I guess I do have more preference towards the Capital characters (Cora, Astrid, Illitris).
Characters such as Mary Beth and Lila, are......just there it seems, and it doesn't really feel like they add much in the grand scheme of things (hope I'm wrong about that, but I guess we'll see).



Seems like out of the main LI cast in the banner we found out 5 out of 7;



From left;
Mary Beth / Lila / Mistress Cora / Queen Illitris / ??? (let's just say X1 lol) / General Astrid / ??? (X2 lol)


There's also the name of the Raider's leader continuously thrown around by Cora & Astrid; Kralia.

Hmmm...... Is it just me, or does anybody feel Kralia is the one right next to Illitris (to the right in banner, i.e. X1)?
And that she's a sister to Illitris?
Looking at the face through the banner their faces do seem a bit similar.
It may explain why Illitris is reluctant on the whole counter attack suggestions by Cora & Astrid if Illistris herself is the only one who knows Kralia is her sister.

Or, I could be wrong about that and it could very much be just random two characters with somewhat similar face assets, who knows.


Also, I know the whole drakvir thing is MC literally being a demigod, but tbh, it does make me wonder whether there's any opponent out there who would be able to stop the MC in this Super Saiyan like state lol


Anyway, enjoyed the update and I'll be following this for future updates cause I see a lot of potential.

The queen is 100% sabotaging her own kingdom either wants power so much she ignores her people or she is doing this because she wants all these people to die. thats what i believe

 

[Thora]

While a bit early to tell where this will go, the posing, lighting and composition of most scenes are excellent. The music also complements those scenes well.

Only spotted one text error - after waking up, the line from Astrid has an inversion "The whole felt city that quake"... should read "The whole city felt that quake".

Good luck with the game!

-T-

 

[N0nsens3]

Great game!

 

[S1nsational]

Very nice update. Great story progression.

I do feel the queen is overlooking a two very important matters though...

1. If indeed we are a demigod with the right to rule pretty much the entire continent, the girls helping us aren't committing treason against her, she is committing treason against us.
2. If indeed we are a demigod, what makes her think we can't just take what's ours by force? I mean in the long term, obviously right now we need help and training, but still. Right now she's a difficult to move object in front of a force that's just now starting to build up momentum. It's not unstoppable yet, but it's going to be by the time it gets where she's currently standing.

Not saying I don't understand her reluctance, I do, but she's not really thinking this through clearly.

Dude, be proud of your mange I mean mane and just let it all hang down. LI's will respect you for it. Remember, "Don't show your buns until you've dipped your stick." Jus' Sayin'

Oh I do when I'm trying to look pretty for my lady, but I can't stand hair touching my ears, so unless I'm sprucing up, I pull it back. She's the reason it's even long in the first place, were I a single hermit (like I probably would be if not for her) I'd just buzz it as soon as it started to touch my ears.

 

[Sneak Monkey]

Ok, seriously, you, and everyone that complains about this, are fucking AWFUL at gaming or anything even remotely resembling tactical thinking.

Just to test this out, I redownloaded the game and played through the entire raid again after turning down the lovely Almira (which physically hurt my soul), saving before each fight and retrying each one 5 times and I didn't lose a single, fucking, time. In fact I even tried just hitting attack over and over for the first guy without any attempt at defense and I still fucking won.

I did, ironically, lose the first time I dueled Sir Thomas but I beat him on the 2nd try.

Well congrats on being on good terms with RNG Jesus. Considering I've played Total War ad nauseum, Souls and Souls likes, reaction based games and pretty much every other genre I can safely say, no I don't suck, but RNG does. I'm actually quite good at strategy, just not RNG, because no one is.

Be less of a pompous douche in your responses maybe, you'll come across as more of a person who doesn't love themselves too much.

 

[~Legend~]

Really like this game so far, love the setting and lore so far. Has tons of potential. Keep it up.

 

[Portugal1]

Nice story. Love the contents. Seems to have all the potential characters that we need for this type. Maybe, more random girls. Well done. For now, only going for Mary Beth.

I would recommend trying XCOM 2 for the true RNJesus experience...


Anyways, the RNG elements won't be as prevalent with enemies that have a higher AI score as those will more predictably try to counter your actions. Additionally, we might see combat become easier with the introduction of magic.

See how I said I tried each fight 5 times just to make sure? It's not RNG. If it was I'd have seen at least SOME variance or come even close to losing. You just fucking suck. And that's not me being a pompous douche. It's the truth. Proof being that you're suggesting being good at reaction games is going to help you in a turn-based situation where you have to pick between attacking, parrying, or defending. You don't even need to look at rest, and ultimate is only unlocked for the last (3rd) fight.

Here, let me be less of a pompous douche and hold your hand :

Fight starts.
You click defend.
NPC attacks you, dealing zero damage. Or NPC doesn't attack you, also dealing zero damage.
Next turn you hit parry. NPC attacks you, you take zero damage and retaliate.
Next turn you hit attack. NPC takes damage. Now you literally cannot lose. You can spam attack FOR THE REST OF THE FIGHT and win.
BIG HINT : Don't attack the NPC when he does the shield move, it's pointless, that's him defending.

For other fights try a variation of this. Maybe don't try and fucking face-tank everything while attacking like a spaz. Use those other 2 buttons.

It's a custom song we had created for the game. It's titled Mary Beth's Song.

 

[Acrodin]

Just stumbled upon this today ... loved every second of it!
Can't wait to see where the story takes us.

Honestly after the 1st fight, the rest are just stupidly easy, as long as you have equal ish stats it's pretty much auto win.

And mayyyyyyyybe I will, just might have to have some things set up nearby I can smash

You believe you appear less of a pompous douche now? By offering to hold my hand and calling me a spaz...

Truly you have outdone yourself and reached new heights

Nah, they're a cunt, also wrong as their specified method also fails... So an arsehole and an idiot.

You think someone isn't a douche for telling a stranger "You fucking suck" for not winning at RNG?

First, it's he, keep that ambiguous shit to yourself.
Second, you're telling me that even with handholding instructions that even a fucking 4 year old could follow, you STILL can't fucking win that fight? And you think I'm the idiot?
I'm neither a douche nor an "arsehole" (I prefer the North American spelling over the European, thank you very much) for stating that you fucking suck at this. I'm a purveyor of truth, and I'm done with your dumb ass. Keep failing and whining like a bitch.
