You need to start this version from the beginning.

It has an optional violence patch! The dev did not cave in to the reddit asshats! That is, I have not played it yet, will update after seeing if my optimism is valid or foolish.

How do you replace the script? I have moved it into the game folder but it is still running the cut script

Did it ask to be replaced? If not, you should rename the uncut script to be the same as the cut one, then move it to the game folder. That will make the system ask if you want to replace one with another.

I tried that to both .rpy and .rpyc script files but nothing worked. Is it because I am having to convert the uncut script from .rar file?

uncut patch doesn't works....

When you start a new game it asks if you want to go with uncut or cut content. Try starting one and update us if it worked or not! I'll be happy to do a step by step of what I did (and worked) to try and solve your issues!

He completely censored that scene. She didn't take a single injury. At worst you could demand a bj from her. But you can't put a single bruise on her. The gore patch actually proves the opposite he censored the brutality scenes, his base game became censored against gore (something he didn't even say he'd do) and he allowed users to download an optional patch to uncensor gore alone. Brutality scenes remained censored.

unfortunately i must agree.
usualy i dont like harming womans but if it is some raider scum what is attacking u, i dont care much...

this scene is making desert riders looks like some "kindergarden gang" (no resistance in fight, just submision) i am wondered how they could survive so long with this behaving....

even "badass" options are more likely to act just like jerk (waking daughter by pulling her hand) and after all u r forced to bend knee to queen

Reached that part. Yup, my fears were justified, he did cave in.
The only way I can describe how I feel about this is by mentioning

EDIT: Hold up. Are we fucking forced to save the elf? Fucking hell.

EDIT 2: But killing the orc-like retards isn't? Doesn't that negate all the point of a multi-route dark fantasy? This is worse than I was expecting.

EDIT 3: And we can't just drive off after getting the fuel without interacting with the elf plot too... This deserves an earrape of Bruh with reverb.

Thanks for the help earlier Common Crab. I have to agree with you all on the censorship. This version is not as good as the first one. There is virtually no difference between the cut and uncut versions of this game. Still holding out hope though that the dev will not use as much censorship next time. Thank you anyway ZetanDS for the second release!

 

[Echoesinthedarkness]

Yeah i get that u guys are sad about how the game changed its tone, but i must say that dev made a lot of work since last update, both on quality of the renders and actual content, good job

 

[A Common Crab]

I understand why you are forced to kneel BUT I have to point out that it would be entirely doable to have your character not do it and receive negative relations while having the game remember that, maybe when a betrayal plot or something pops up.

You simply cannot argue that the raider render was good whatsoever, the bruises and blood removed we are left with a messy face, her eyes don't match each other in shape nor her facial attitude match the situation or how things went. Add to that the fact that lowering to literal zero on the violence there resulted in a complete removal of the badass trait that made this protagonist so appealing. I'm still to finish this update but as things stand right now, this game had a downgrade worthy of Mass Effect Andromeda.

nah for me he is just jerk... he can assault sleeping girl without combat experience (than tell her that he cant be mad at her) but he is not enought man to tell queen "piss of, i will leave, but u will not get new relicts from me"

another point is that if something like escape (of worthless) slave will made him mad to assault someone he could just stick to it, not practicaly apologize or he is (for me) mentaly unbalanced....

Agreed.

You comment on this quite alot and I dont want to get into an argument but I need to clarify this for you (and others):
First off, Im not a professional developer but just some guy having a new hobby and making a game for you for free.
The reason why I put a censor in the game and edited the intro is to show people like you that the game is not and never was intended to be a tutorial on how to beat up women. The second day was planned from the start and I did not cave in to any reddit culture or whatever you mentioned, because I didnt have a single comment on reddit when I uploaded it the first time. If you (and frankly my patrons) only want this game to be about violence, then that was clearly a missstep in the development. I will have polls on this soon and see if they agree. The game will continue having bdsm and bloody content, just as it has in the second day with the mummies. The asian chick is supposed to like being dominated. But I never intended for every character to be into that. So if you and everyone else wants to ignore that and only see it as a wife beater simulator, then I might actually shut this whole thing down before I get too invested. Because I put alot of hours into trying to make a good evening scene this version and I planned that from the start. So again, if people only see it as a brutalizer simulator, then that first scene and the second one were the ones that put this game in a box it cant recover from.

The world isnt black and white, and sometimes games can have brutal content while also being lighthearted afterwards. Ryona is fun, but the game isnt only about that. Just like you can feed your companion to cannibals in fallout, you can be the good guy and have a love story with her.

I needed to get this out. And while Im sure you will find arguments to prove how you are right, there is a choice here for both of us. Either we accept that the game will have a mixture of romance, vanilla, domination, incest and post apocalyptic violence in it, or we scrap the idea and only want it to be stupid and blunt beatings. In that case you have the option to distance yourself from it and I have the option to continue it or not, but I will not be pressured by comments like yours insulting me saying I caved in to some arbitrary internet culture.

And last but not least, constructive criticism always helps more than what youre doing. I put the last 4 weeks in this game next to my full time job, even though its a short update. But I had to model characters, listen to royalty free music for hours and learn the coding from the ground up. A bit more sympathy from your side would be appreciated. Ok, you didnt like this update, but understand that its not the greatest thing to constantly read the comments you wrote in the last few weeks.

I hope youll have a nice new years eve. I will go to sleep now since Im very tired and see what people think tomorrow. Its 11 pm over here, so have a good night.

First things first: "The reason why I put a censor in the game and edited the intro is to show people like you that the game is not and never was intended to be a tutorial on how to beat up women."
Excuse me? Where in the living hell did you pull from the notion that anyone was taking this as, as you've said, a "tutorial on how to beat up women"?

"The second day was planned from the start and I did not cave in to any reddit culture or whatever you mentioned, because I didnt have a single comment on reddit when I uploaded it the first time." That I should acknowledge as a mistake on my part, I was merely following the dominant narrative and as idiotic as it is, I still did. Can't really defend myself from that.

"If you (and frankly my patrons) only want this game to be about violence, then that was clearly a missstep in the development." I'm not arguing that it should be only about violence, I'm arguing against the removal of what was already added since that was what made it different from most other games here. Uniqueness is a rare thing to see in a porn game and it upsets me that it was removed.

"So if you and everyone else wants to ignore that and only see it as a wife beater simulator, then I might actually shut this whole thing down before I get too invested." Again, where did you pull that from? Your patreons? I can safely say that whoever had this fantastic take on the game doesn't represent me in the slightest.

"So again, if people only see it as a brutalizer simulator, then that first scene and the second one were the ones that put this game in a box it cant recover from." I saw it as a game that wasn't afraid to show how a fucking post-apocalyptic world would work. As I've said, it is rare to see a porn game that doesn't avoid this aspect of worldbuilding, thus it feels like wasted potential to see you actively backtracking on what you did.

Listen, I can and will easily agree that my conduct was far from ideal but you can't act as if you're a victim, not after accusing me baselessly of seeing this as a "wife-beating, brutalizer simulator" in your own words.
And, as I clearly should've done, I will indeed cease my comments as you've pointed out your determination to erase what bought my interest. Godspeed and good new year.

idk i probably imagine postapocaliptic world wilder i guess..

and just like fucking virgin without blood, fighting someone without blood is probably happening only in Smurf world....
