Ren'Py Corrupted Kingdoms [v0.22.0a] [ArcGames]

[DyonisXX]

This save menu is AWFUL, I FUCKING HATE IT

I don't want your shitty scroll bar at the bottom and the side, I just want multiple easy to access slots per page and arrow buttons at the bottom

Can I mod this shit somehow?

Downloaded the game for the first time in a long time. I know there's been many updates since (I want to say the last version I played was 0.15?), but the game size is only 1.7 gigs? Opening the game I can tell it's been compressed a bit or is otherwise not as nice looking as it once was - am I imagining it, or has the creator just compressed it for user convenience? And is there an uncompressed version out there?

Also I agree on the UI. I know I'm not the designer, but you want a minimalist UI that is informative and doesn't cover the images if you can help it. I remember it back from when I played and it was totally fine back then.

Edit: Yeah even looking at the preview images they're sharper than the gameplay I was getting. What gives?

 

[Forgotted]

I was curious so tried the game again. It's been a long time.

Amazing the changes. It's too bad, I remember it being a cute game. I used to
like seeing the backgrounds and characters more. Like others have pointed out...
Too covered up now.
But...oh well.


Best of luck to the Dev
Cheers

For anyone experiencing the menu in certain situations not showing all of the options, such as when you first use the control power on Pixie and the kiss option is missing. I checked out the bug reports in the discord and there is a post from 10/12 bringing up this issue with a response from Arc on 10/16 saying that they are aware of the issue, and it will be fixed in the next update. So, fingers crossed on that. I haven't played this game in over a year, and I was disappointed to see that issue when I went to replay the game. I actually immediately stopped and went looking for a solution.

It's a very recent change, so if you can find a copy of version 2.19, you can get almost all the current content with the better UI.

Is there an up to date guide explaining how combat works in the newest version?
Latest I found is v0.19.6 which is showing outdated version of act 3.

As far as I can tell, you can either attack (knife) or seduce (mushroom).
Then there is defend and... fireball? what is fireball?
what counters the enemy seduction? how is damage calculated? what is going on? how do I level up?

Jessica explains it all.

 

[harem.king]

Jessica explains it all.

I don't remember the explanation and couldn't find a way to repeat it.
I did however end up figuring it out via trial and error.

Every turn you and your opponent choose between knife (injure) and mushroom (seduce... aka mind control). This is your attack.
You have 3 dice, they each roll a number. You have those 3 numbers to distribute between:
attack (knife or mushroom)
defense (shield)
special (fireball)

If your attack (knife or mushroom) is higher than their defense. they take 1 point of damage to either injury HP or seduction resistance HP.
If their attack (knife or mushroom) is higher than your defense. you take 1 point of damage to either injury HP or seduction resistance HP.
If one of you has a higher special value, they will buff/debuff. on a tie neither of you does that.

The buffs/debuffs enemy use vary by the opponent. can be trivial or can be massive. your buff/debuff are chosen by you from a list of your spells.

Most opponents you want to prioritize defense > special > attack
Occasionally an opponent with massive buff/debuff you want to prioritize special > defense > attack

also, the only reason to use both seduction AND injure at the same battle is if you are aiming at shattering the opponents mind. if you are not into that fetish then focus on either injure or seduce, not both.

How do you investigate areas? And where do I go to build the construction yard?
Also, where are the glades? Why can't I look for trouble and learn new skills?

So the dev went and done it again.

Spend an update "upgrading" the UI. Not only does it look like shit but it's also something no one asked for.
And its not a small UI change. The whole screen is covered and the change for the save menu screen is the biggest offender in all this imo.

It's like introducing the dice mechanics all over again.

Now he can go contemplating for several months on how to "fix" or "improve" it instead of biting the bullet and revert the UI and progressing the game.
The UI was perfectly fine for gods sake.

There is a saying. If it's not broken don't fix it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This dev man. He keeps on giving.

Yeah, I don't get it actually.

(I want you to focus on the last one specifically... at the bottom...to realize how much of a clusterfuck it actually is...)

At least it can be skipped now, doesn't deny the fact that it could've been better! ...or worse....

It even fitted the nature and the art of the game so. fucking. MUCH. reminded me of back when paperdolls were introduced in Act 3...It was so fucking buggy to the point that reading what the characters said was not even on the screen from it being covered by the girls on screen...I like teasing here and there, BUT NOT LIKE THIS! (from like v19.x IIRC)

There is a saying. If it's not broken don't fix it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then I should break it and tear it to shreds then! xDDDDDDD

This dev man. He keeps on giving.

And we keep on taking....not in a good way...I wouldn't say no to free stuff.....but....I HAVE STANDARDS!

 

[lobesod]

With the introducing of act 3 he have changed nearly everything and only to the worse. A lot of thing working just fine have been changed to crap. IMO, he is only skimming the cream....

 

[Nadekai]

... So, how's this game holding on, why so much hate ... ?

 

[jahall]

... So, how's this game holding on, why so much hate ... ?

I don't really understand the hate, especially considering that the dev makes each update available for free just a few days after the release for patrons. Yes, the game went off in the wrong direction at the start of act 3, but it seems to be back on track now apart from the UI issues, which I imagine will be put right before long.

... Uh... what happened in act 3 ... ?

 

[Cickic]

I don't know why but it hasn't had any new content since kana woke up. I see in the change log about Lucille having a room in the house but I have no idea who Lucille is. (I've gone everyplace and check every girls names but none are named Lucille. It seems since act 3 there has been minimal content unless you count up "upgrades" or bug fixes. Is the nexus still broke? Can you talk to grandpa again yet. The story needs updates not remaster of everything else.

I had such high hopes for this game in the beginning. WTF happened? Act 3 is absolute derailment. Shoving new convoluted mechanics in this late in the game is ridiculous. Completely obliterating the story of the first parts of the game to make room for....whatever the hell this is now was a bad move.

Make a new game with Act 3 finish the story of this game. Act 3 isn't even the same game at this point so why not make it a new game? Or make it a sequel or spin off. But to shove it in to this game no lube is fucking jarring and absolutely the worst decision I've seen a dev make....and I watch BDs updates. So that's saying a lot.

 

[Nadekai]

... is there some patch to fix the disgusting new UI ... ?

 

[Nadekai]

... Do we get to murder our grandfather in cold blood at any point ... ?
