VN Ren'Py College Kings [Act 2 v5.3.0] [Undergrad Steve]

[Crusader of Romance]

The saves from this version and the steam version doesn't work together, right? Hopefully they will release some fix for the bugs the latest version gave the rest of the game.

It's really a shame that Mullti mod has been abandoned.

I'm working on doing one.

I understand why the actual mod was abandoned..

 

[Crusader of Romance]

So question for those of us playing via Steam: Will the game still start right off when Act 3 ended with College Kings 2 or are they going to add to Act III separately? I ask because Act 3 didn't finish the overseas trip.

As I understand it, they will add something to make the end better, since for most, the end of Act III was a fake-out. It wouldn't work well as the end of the game.

I don't know what inspires more confidence: The idea that they've lost one of the main creative leads for their project and are looking for a replacement, or that they've been working on this game for this long and just now decided that a lead writer might be a desirable hire.

Can't be bothered to send them my whole CV, so I'll just post my writing sample here in case they're interested in hiring me:

It didn't work well. You missed a lot of scenes and blocked you from Lauren's path, and the story became a mess. After trying it, I decided to never use a mode like that again. It ruins the game experience. Maybe good if you only care about the sex scenes (but you still missed some) but then a gallery mod is better.

In some cases yes ! Mod does that but I uses them something when i already played the game and just looking for fast walkthrough.

I don't use gallery. It's like watching porn without a story.

I really hope it's the latter.
I'm perfectly fine with how the story currently goes. At least there are some meaningful conflicts between main characters. Not just some random guy saying some passive-aggressive shit to pull out dramas.
Replacing a lead writer means potential changes in narrative and yet another change of personality in multiple characters, which is something this game has been suffering from *Chuckle*

My guess is that they have decided to divide the job that the current lead writer has. She's currently the Lead Writer, Lead Editor and Plot Designer.

Writing looks pretty bad, MC looks like a pipsqueak, game has pedestrian reviews but damn that redhead looks hot...

...good character models for the gals really blind me to the general shitness of other facets of games.

 

[astonwave]

"Any comparisons to this game will be removed".

Yeah. That'll be a "no" from me dawg. Can't take criticism even if it's warranted.

 

[Boehser Onkel]

Yeah, the bigger the game gets and the more story paths, the more bugs and problems. Act IV had so many problems, especially with saves, that this was proberbly the only way to fix it.
A lot of people don't realize just how hard it is to make a game like this and release new content often.

well

if they would stick to the choices made at act1+2...
it all got obsolete at act3/4 and this europe trip

forced crap with people you have avoided at all costs before this trip
that brainmelting story around this gay idiot ...
that pointless treasure hunt ...
this emily thing - at the start you choose to be with her or drop her
if you drop her , why is she acting like they still a thing?
(the park scene for example)
etc
wonder how this election campaign will roll out further
i mean i choose to help chloe and still get annoyed with lindsey,
like the mc was her lover , but my mc couldnt be more far away from that


my guess is , the writer team changed , and they took a other direction with ignoring the story/choices before

this was one of the greatest games out here until act3 .. sad ..

 

[Elrompeortos2000]

So android was completely abandoned? Anyone has a port or a walkthrough mod with Android?

 

[Ch@mp]

like chole

 

[MagLev]

Since Act IV and forwards will now be its own thing, is there a download link somewhere for act 1 to 3, so College Kings 1 essentially?

The writing is done as you go, which destroys consistency.

What's going on with Emily is ridiculous. They don't know what to do with her anymore, so they send her away.


We have the impression that the game follows a single road, and we just have dialogues or small scenes that are different or additional according to our choices.

This has the effect of making a lot of totally ridiculous moments:

- you can't choose who to invite to the concert

- you are "officially" in a relationship with Chloe, Lindsey still asks you for help against her, and you can accept...

Apart from the sex scenes according to your choices (you choose who you fuck), and possibly the scenes relating to the two fraternities, the course of the story remains on the same tracks each time.
