RPGM Claire's Quest [v0.26.3] [Dystopian Project]

[Re-4Andrew]

Cool game though it's less of a game and more of a VN with walking. I do appreciate the devs ditching the ugly-ass stock RPGMaker assets and making their own NPC sprites (though their diversity at the moment is poor).

My biggest problem overall is how poorly balanced stat gains are. There's a lot of them in the prologue - and then nothing. How come jacking off a horse in Hookton nets Claire +2 Depravity, but FUCKING one later doesn't? Probably because it's repeatable, to prevent grinding it, but it would be relatively easy to add a stat gain as a one-time thing...
Content for a Defiance-based dominant Claire seems almost non-existent at the moment. Raising Defiance locks you OUT of scenes, which is predictable, but pointless for a porn game.

It brags about the very classic 'YOUR CHOICES MATTER!' RPG shtick, but doesn't really deliver as far as scene variety comes. All it comes down to is checks on Claire's Depravity or Defiance. Some of the scenes in-game currently miss such variations.

The game also desperately needs some kind of characterization system for Claire - let me dress her up. It's nice that her portrait changes depending on the highest stats, but I'd really like to wear more outfits other than the default peasant girl one.

There's also a couple of REALLY embarrassing bugs I found through MV... like placing a player transfer event on a non-passable tile. No player is going to be able to find this bug, because they can't walk into the tile...

The stats do matter, and they do have an affect on Claire! The CG scenes vary due to the stats, and it affects how Claire handles certain situations, you can only put so much into the game since artwork, assets, spirits, ect, aren't free! If the stat requirements aren't where they need to be then certain hidden quests will not show up. The stats and how you build them up is up to the player!

You only have 4 stats which are easy to know, I respect others opinions but these games aren't created by major gaming studios! And you really should go on the Patreon page to make suggestions, most if not all of your comments have been discussed by other players with the Dev.

RPGMaker, is basically a modern version of the old DOS games which are nothing more the Visual Novels, rather then looking at cheesy text graphics and typing in 'key' commands you get (depending on the dev) graphics, CG art, a slightly more immersive game! ANd I haven't ran into many if any RPG games that come close to what your looking for. The only other RPG that comes to mind thats world is built like nothing like the typical RPG games you come across is Threads Of Destiny.

And keep in mind this is an overhauled game, the previous game looked like most RPG games you come across on F95, its missing Rathepike which was a vital part of the original game. Once things get settled in with the revamp I believe the focus will be improving upon the game!

Ok dude, I know, I've seen how events are written in the game through MV itself, and it really isn't as good as you're trying to make it sound. It mostly comes down to 'IF Depravity >= 5, ELSE' on events. The artwork discrepancy is nice, but it's an either-or case of Claire being resistant or Claire being a slut. Which is fine, to be honest, I can't expect too many variations per scene.

Intrigue at the moment is a straight up gimmick - there is NO lock-pickable chests in the game except one in the prologue, there is a 7 Intrigue requirement to inspect a tree that does... nothing, and an Intrigue 9 requirement to finish a sub-quest - and that's a hard requirement meaning the quest is un-finishable if you don't have 9 Intrigue.

I have no idea what you're even on about here. This game clearly lacks in the 'gameplay' department. The character customization is limited to the 4 stats only. There's no combat. There's no equipment, or skills, or anything. There's no day/night cycle or any time progression at all. The NPCs are all static. There's no stealth. The world is small so there's not much exploring it. And there's nothing TO explore for - there's no secrets, no items to collect. There's not even any puzzles. The hunger/exhaustion mechanics are primitive at best.
Yeah, there's no grind. That's good. But that doesn't change the fact it dilutes the game to 'Run here, talk to NPC, pick flavor text option, run there, talk to NPC, get fucked, run there...' which definitely does NOT make it an RPG. And that's ok, if that's what the dev intended... it's just not very exciting IMO. Just decent.

Oh, and also, if anyone thinks writing is supposed to be this game's forte then I can only laugh at them. I found like 10 it's/its errors in a single scene.

So I guess that if you are a patron, you are able to access the rathpike area? Or am I wrong?

 

[g659039]

Patron admins are very restrictive when it comes to their rules, how come they do not make them trouble because of the bestiality?

 

[Print0o]

I guess the creator is good at hiding.

No, that's not coming until the next big update.

 

[Wellthisisinteresting]

I really like this game, it has a rpg feeling that few games has, and with great art, and the new UI and all is awesome too.. think its one of the best rpg sex games i have played..

 

[Agent-Alexa]

No, that's not coming until the next big update.

I just realized that

 

[Agent-Alexa]

I found a bunch of porn videos about this game on xvideos but it looks different from the version of the game that I played.
I’m guessing it’s the game before the overhaul stuff

This is a very good question. I've unfortunately seen other content within Claire's Quest that would clearly be against Patreon's rules. I think it's mainly because no one hasn't reported it.

The game's changed a lot since 2016 cudos to the devs for keeping this project going, really loving all the new content as it has come quite a long way.

That's the good side, the bad side is, if you are a long time player, you did get barely new content for a long time.

Yeah that is a downside, but at least all of the assets are now unique; Which the game honestly needed. Sadly we cannot have it all.

So how do u get to the meat pit now. Earlier when u resisted the pirate u ended up in the meat pit but now on doing that i end up thrown out of the ship instead... am i doing something wrong ??

No, you are not wrong. Apparently, the rathpike/meat pit area is coming in the next update

 

[Excalibur77]

Ohh thanks bud. I am eagerly waiting for the next update

 

[Medo3212]

when the next update will come

 

[Agent-Alexa]

So, the areas we have currently are:
The Continent & Valos
I know we are getting Rathpike in the next update.
I wonder if the islands of Sorraine & Trissengrad will be added in the future.
I would also love to use the lockpick to get inside locked buildings in addition to chests

 

[DZE]

The other day i found out about the game and I gotta say, I loved it, played like 3 hours straight. I got to the party super late considering its been going for apparently 3 years.
I have some questions, the Rathpike content is still to come on the MV version right? Do you have any ETA on that?
Keep up the good work.

 

[Agent-Alexa]

I’m pretty the Rathpike island is coming in the next overhaul, along with some other Valos things.
I can’t say the same for the other two islands though
