Ren'Py Dark Magic [v0.20.1] [F. Lord]

[MorganMaximara]

I agree I do not think a second project is a good idea, but as he seems to have Dark Magic planned out to the end.

Without a reason to dissuade, him supporting while he is making this mini release / game to refresh his mind is the right thing to do for me.

Yahtzee, in his very first Dev Diary "Preflight Panic", stated and I am directly quoting him here "Starting projects doesn't count. If all you do is start projects but eventually give up on them then you have as much right to call yourself a creator as someone who spent the same amount of time in a wooden box. (expunged)" (I left off the last part of that as I thought it was over the top harsh)

While he is going over the top (as usual), he is right. You can have your game planned out the wazzo but if you don't have the basics down something is going to go haywire down the line and it never gets done. Or arguably worse it takes so long that expectations go over the top and can never live up to people's expectations (Duke Nukem Forever case in point). At least this has not fallen into the trap Wizards Adventures has - keep mucking with the game play loop/mechanic and basically starting over each time.

Perhaps because for some of Us this is just the last straw just after another.
because comments like that is the reason the dev has now had to leave on extended leave ?
For me at least I can not translate humor well , nor sarcasm or irony either.
So I take everything I read at face value.

The atmosphere on F95 itself feels negative for most of the threads I have seen... and negativity begets negativity.
So it is partly to blame as well.

If my comment went to far I apologies for it.

No problem man, also I understand how flord could have got pissed at people being too demanding. but as long as he finishes it and finishes it good, there are literally hundreds of other games for me to indulge.

Has he shared what's the new project name.

*snerk* Ok, so this convinced me it was worth the download. That was fucking hilarious.

It looks super interesting, but anything with a dev who has this kinda sense of humor has gotta be worth a look so that's what sealed it.

I came away with the same impression. He did a great job with it in a technical manner. Its put together well. But I didn't really like the characters or where it seems to be going, and I was frustrated with the fact that its a hallway VN, and not a semi-sandbox like this one. The way that Dark Magic is set up is a big draw for me.

How do i make a progress with Airi's corruption? Did someone here fuck her boobs while she sleeps or fuck her? I even used the cheat mode and changed corruption to 100% but nothing happened.

 

[Azoozy3]

There are apparently some custom scenes that higher tier members get. I don't know anything about them.

How does corruption work in this game ? Is it just a stat or does it actually change how a character acts, looks and behaves ?

It affects characters behaviour towards mc

 

[Inex33]

I think it may also be needed to progress in the story. I could be wrong.

 

[Loganfin]

Corruption basically makes the female characters more open to sexual activities with the MC and in some cases, means that they are interested in him in the first place. As was said, in doing all of this, you gradually open up and progress through the story.

The game has a semi-sandbox, checklist system. Go from place to place, interact with the different women, and then the story moves along. While there aren't technically chapters, it kind of works like there are behind the scenes. Complete the checklist, and a new list takes its place. Occasionally, it can be a little confusing as to what you're supposed to do though.

I see. Cause I personally don't really enjoy when corruption is just a different word for relationship progress. Building a relationship to a point where a character becomes more open to sexual activities isnt necessarily corruption, unless the progress results in the characters personality changing/becoming more perverse.

 

[Konstantinus]

unless the progress results in the characters personality changing/becoming more perverse.

Which it does. You do not improve your relationship with the other persons. You have already an established relationship with many of them as the citys only male you get noticed. But what you do is use the magic to mess with their minds so that they get all the horny thoughts, see you in a different light and all the pure or platonic relationships turn into sexuel ones.
For example if you corrupt your family they will start wearing less and less to dinner while a jogger in the park will wear less and less for jogging. Your neighbour if corrupted enough will go straight naked to the bathroom so there ARE small some changes. But those are not so big like in Corruption where people start complain they get clownyfied.

Well, in this game, the MC is using Dark Magic (hence the title) to corrupt the women into being hornier and more open to sex. Its about the most straightforward corruption system I've played in one of these games. He's given the ability to use the spells early on, and is very excited to use it and fuck as many women as possible, lol. Its written well and its a lot of fun. He doesn't ever treat any of the women poorly and they all care about one another.
