the game die in the moment we enter in this arc 3 that's why i stopped this game then i see the reboot and all sex scene missing
1- That can be solved by creating save points.
2- There are H-scenes that has been implemented in Act 3 recently.
Skimmed some comments saying the game turned to crap because the combat, didnt want to believe it. Yep the combat is just that bad, what is that a 1% chance to win any fight along with not being able to reload until you lose?
They can be skipped buddy!
Hadn't returned to this game for a while, but I see that we no longer have the option of placing the turf boss girls we defeat into the dungeon, to later decide if we recruit them, banish or kill them. This dungeon provided an opportunity to further corrupt a shattered enemy and get a lewd scene from them before deciding what to do with them. I'm reading that he got into trouble with Patreon - I imagine it's due to things like these and the "shatter" mechanic?
No, because Alice and the kids exists. Yup. That's it.
Basically Patreon has a rule on +18 games that no minor-looking
appearance is allowed. not lewding nor sexualizing a little bit. Their mere existence in general isn't allowed.
Dumb rule?, I know!
guys, tell me the version number before he changed the dungeons and removed a lot of content from it? I would play this version separately (since I haven’t played for more than a year and now I understand that I missed a lot of content). Yes, and this version will be preserved in history.
That'd be v0.19.8.
Just got on this game recently. The whole act 3 thing is interesting. From a game play perspective introducing a complicated strategy game mechanic (complicated in comparison to act 1 & 2) this deep into the game seems like a bizarre decision. Its basically a surprise genre change. Then of course there is the fact that as a gameplay device, the old VN style plays more into the corruption fetish. The battle thing could play into a rape thing but doesn't seem to from what little I have played of act 3. So the old gameplay style harmonized the porn and story better.
On a story level I think the game goes wrong before act 3 and act 3 is just the natural consequence of that. The author wrote a mystery-espionage narrative but doesn't seem aware of that. The conflict being the mystery of what happened to the mother, what the monster is and then espionage being the MC's relationship between the Fey, Org and Church. I say this is espionage because for most of the game the MC is established to be squishy. Even when you get powers they're not even introduced as combat powers but puzzle solving devices. Espionage is the natural vector the MC would take here.
A lot of what we learn about about the mystery component is not earned. You'd imagine a lot of the plot would revolve around the MC discovering more about the unknowns but instead most of it is simply divulged by one or two characters simply explaining however much they feel is fit at the moment. Ironically a lot of the exposition here is given by a character (gramps) that the story wants us to believe doesn't like telling us things.
Then we get to the espionage component the author set up. This is set up in an A, B and C plot. A plot is the Fey, set up to be a double agent scenario where the MC must advance their goals while Morgana is none the wiser. B plot is the Org, MC is set up as an explicit outsider to this. With his relationship to Jessica the story sets it up to be a kind of political thing involving influence curried by interacting with characters or buying properties. Maybe some amount of using your girls as pawns or whatever. Then you have the C plot which is the Church which is established as a big no go zone. The kinda thing where the monster would maybe distrupt plans or would require a lot of energy to stay our of sight of.
Somehow the author forgot they wrote any of that and treats all 3 major threads the same. Instead of using any of the material here to keep these plot lines as unique or interesting all 3 are treated the same in which the MC becomes a double agent infiltrating the group. Except MC doesn't do anything to advance his own goals really he just does fetch quests. The one of these plots where the MC actually does double agent stuff is the one where it makes the least sense for them to have even allowed him in the Org. The church plot is handled especially poorly given the MC has reoccurring nightmares about the monster and has had substantial threats on his life by it. He goes to the Church anyways cuz gramps says so lol.
I see people saying a war arc is basically the only place the story can go. Its only because they wrote themselves into a corner with this. You have an A and B plot so you can switch between them and keep things feeling fresh and sometimes use it for tension. Instead all 3 plots are the same so the author ran the premise ragged instantly and was forced to move on. I don't even think war is the natural progression for the story. The unlikely alliance between the fey and org that kick starts it is extremely ham fisted. It doesn't jive with the way the characters were written before at all. A war arc is super common in battle shounen because it usually ups the stakes and is a natural progression for a genre filled with fight scenes. The story's stakes are already at world saving / world ending, so it doesn't raise the stakes. Its also out of left field in a story that has until this moment had problems solved with wit over might. Additionally the format prioritizing cute anime girls > plot means its not even really more dangerous to the characters. We're talking about a story that introduced a character for the explicit purpose of killing off that character that goes on to ressurect said killed character.
Okay. Cry about it. xD
Seriously tho.
1- The writer meant to make everything in the story ominous on purpose to gain attention. Even the answers to the supporters's questions proves so.
2- Everytime the MC tried to ask about his mom, either something happens to whoever's getting asked or he just gets told that it's not the time to know yet. He just basically gave up gradually. Yet whenever there's a way to know what happened to her, he wouldn't think twice. Not even once!
3- To ME, war is a natural route due to how much tension was between The Fey (Under Morgana's d̶i̶c̶t̶a̶t̶o̶r̶s̶h̶i̶p̶ leadership), The organization (Under Clarie's dickhead dad.), The Eldritch and The MC.
Their situation can be summed up like theis: They were just basically swimming in a sea full of Oil
(Don't tell America!), and they were waiting for an retarted , silly-ass kid to come with a match ,light it all up, throw it in the sea and make it go:
BOOOM! (Lyx sure would've loved to see that!)
4- The plot DID focus on the 3 plots!
(not too much.), we've been investigating them forever!
(not really nor literally.), we wouldn't want The Simpsons tier length plot.
He worked on gaining their and The Council Members's trust. (Excluding Morgana of course for obvious reasons.) And of course, due to the nature of the game and the primary reason why people are even supporting. It focused much more on the girls.
5- Of course cute koikatsu girls get the higher fucking priority!, why do you even think we're here!?!. No, why are
YOU even here! xD
True. Very true. Sel's now so loaded he's started a charity foundation on the side donating money to starving kids in Africa and planting trees to stop climate change, lol.
That reminded me of Markiplier's Onlyfans's situation lmao.
Arc has made a public post on his Subscribestar summarise the latest position:
You must be registered to see the links
Basically it says that the number of people taking out SS subscriptions since he was chucked off Patreon has been encouraging, so he's hoping that he won't need to go down the Steam route after all.
Oh thank EVERYTHING!, Nobody wants to go for another art re-do for the
THIRD TIME!
Not to mention the setback of development with this.
