Ren'Py Dilemma of Devotion [Ch.3 Ep.4.5] [PulseHavenStudios]

[PinkNova]

Hey dev I was watching the thread from the beginning (haven't played the game yet) there seems to be a problem with a barrier of entry to this game that seems to confuse and discourage players (not 1 or 2 but quite a few) from trying it mainly the systems placed in the game sound too convoluted I keep seeing complaints from people who tried the game from the outside all we see is :

( there is a harem for some girls but only corruption also there is romance but also for only some girls and the other-other girls have 2 route romance and corruption there seems to be a factor called loyalty) .

This game is VN with sandbox elements the more systems you place in the game the less likely the players will try it that is why a majority of people hate purely sandbox games you can either :
1- Change the tutorial of the game if there is one.
2- Remove some systems from the game.

Best of luck dev

I can get this, personally I don't really care for the sandbox in this game myself and that's actually because of the prologue. The prologue just feels smooth and was perfectly fine way to go about things, where as I find the sandbox empty and more content filler than actually something that's needed.

I say if you can remove a system in a game and it wouldn't change anything then why have it at all? For the phone? We can just have a icon like the relationship stuff that we can click at any time. To make the world feel more immerse? I feel it's much to empty for that if anything minus the school it makes the big city feel dead, and points it out instead breaking immersion.

But What do I know at the end of the day, I don't have experience actually making games afterall. I just pointing out how I felt after playing most of the night myself.

A vn mode is in works but that would require a little more work.

Currently the focus is to make the game perfect in terms of functionality first , we already have the vn formula down pretty decent so now we gotta fix this as well.

Thanks for feedback tho definitely gonna consider and I hope you enjoyed NBIJ as well.

City will be unlocked further and further the more you play for example nothing is open in the intro but you can eventually open the photoshoot , the cafe , the gym , the club

It'll take time of course since we're only a 3 person team that's all.

As for the vn kinda mode , it's in works but we have to make sure that's done right not just shoehorned together.

Well like I said my criticism of the sandbox while nice on the eyes, "is it needed"? I find it more content filler if anything else, and you're putting them into that, that could instead go into other areas. While I respect the ambition of world building, I wouldn't want it to be at the expense of the story telling. Like I said I just feel the VN style was the way to go, cut the fat and just string things together instead, but that's just me.

What? No my guy jane is a convertable girl.

Remember there are 3 categories

One is pure corrupt , meaning no nice romance segments or anything and they corrupt you.

Two is corruptable girls , who you can corrupt or convert into romance girls.

Third are pure romance who cannot be corrupted (Muskaan being an example)

So no jane is definitely one of em but you'd have to play carefully or she ends up not the girl you fell for.

Obviously canon wise story goes to alot of places (Hint the game's cover) so yeah , good luck on that.

Hey, so update. I restarted the game on this version, and it did in fact fix Olivia. Sadly, no chance to Kiara after going through and picking the same options, so I don't know what it is that is stopping her from triggering on Sunday.

Mine triggered with a loyalty of 95 as it says on the check phone above.

I hope not, I'd hate to HAVE to lower my loyalty just to move forward.

We've found the problem , it's a particular save load after choices that causes this to hard lock.

We'll remove that hardlock altogether with a patch , sorry for this again.

PinkNova This should fix it. Created a patch for loyalty bug.

replace it in Dilemma of Devotion/game/events/ folder

Thank you, although one quick question. How do I download these files? Lol, it always just opens them in text form in another tab when I click instead of downloads them for me, I never found out how to get these specifically.

I believe right click and download with your manager or download file should work?
If not then just dm me and I'll link you instead.

No luck, when I right click it just wants to download it as a link not a file.

You have to create it and put the file there. At least it worked for me.

First, I want to say thank you to those that have tried to help me, I was able to click the phone on Sunday night now. Although I may have fell into another bug? I'm not sure, but when I finish the scene with Shelly it puts me back in Free Roam, and now acts like I never checked my phone the first time I exited VN mode.


Where the scene ends for me before switching back to FR, and my phone is saying new messages, but their all the original ones again.
