Ren'Py Echoes: Cards of Destiny [v0.2.6] [Deviant Dreams]

[Melmoth99]

BUG
I started a new game and when I talk to the woman at the General Goods Shop, the Baker, the Card Shop and the Book Store the Screen turns Orange ESC key does nothing and I can't move forward? I had to kill the game in Task Manager.

It seems to happen when people give me something. When I rush to save the Woman and she give me coins the screen goes Orange as well

Are you playing the compressed version that someone shared here? If that's the case that's most likely the issue, some images lost the transparency due to the compression.

Download from the main links on the first page or from itch.io and your problem should be solved.

its tripple triad with titties . and i love it . the only critique i would give is i understand in the final game events will happen on certain days forcing the plot forward but untill 1.0 you after "the final day" of the patch you should open the world up sandbox stlyle so that we can explore the content that is their already without rebuilding our decks . there are whole places i did not get to see but i dont wanna rebuild my deck all over again just to lose it all over again untill 1.0 comes out . just a thought feel free to ignore

Since it's been the most requested feature for the game, I'll be reworking how the game works and make the days loopable, triggering the story events only after a certain number of actions instead of advancing them everyday. This will allow a full gameplay with pretty much all the content and not having to restart. Still seeing how much it impacts the code and will have to re-work it heavely, but will try to release it in the next 0.2.5
thanks for all the input

So it's basically that (imo) terrible card game from FF8. Except in the FF version, you don't need 20/20 vision to see which cards are whose, so that one is somehow better.
I don't think this one is for me, but I'd encourage the dev to give a better indication of which cards belong to who. The thin colored outline is hardly enough, and honestly, I even had to move closer to the screen to properly see the numbers... The cards look nice but are really bad for actually playing with.
There are also some issues with the potential order of things. For example, I've had MC comment on people enjoying themselves despite some great evil, and later despite some evil presence in a castle, which I only learned about days later from Lyria.

Two possible improvement:
- A gallery for the sex scenes
- Card zooming to see better the pictures

so i just tried the game for the first time and like everyone else id like to see the game go on longer. im curious to see what happens in options i didnt chose and maybe have enough time to collect all the cards! ive noticed others offer options to make it possible to see all content in one playthrough but what about a new game + option? dont know how hard it would be to let the player keep cards from a previous run and start a new game + with all the cards they had already collected. either that or make the previously acquired cards available in said "free mode" that id heard mentioned in a few previous posts! again i dont know how difficult that would be to implement but i thought id throw the idea out there!

also wanted to say i really dig the artwork and while it does still have some AI jank to it its still nice! i know AI animations are still evolving as most out there are pretty janky, but if possible animated sex scenes would be awesome to see! the comic panel effect of the current sex scenes is still cool but i feel animated sex scenes would just be next level with the gorgeous characters in the game! story scenes already look great and if the sex scenes could look like that it would be a homerun!

anyway thats my couple of ideas after playing it for the first time. hope to see more soon! game looks great and story has me hooked!

Hi, can somene explain this to me?

When I play the card game, i sometimes have the following situation:
Opponent plays a card, then I play a card stealing their card, and then the opponent also plays their card, stealing my card AND getting the 3 card also stolen.

What is the reasoning, rule behind stealing 2 cards that are in the same row and/or column?

That might be a bug already reported. The cards captured should only be the adjacent neighbours. I think I solved this issue for the next version but I'm still testing it as it does not happen often It's quite tricky to catch it.

Not the most interesting card game. If you take over a card it causes no chain reaction. You will only get one card in that row. Art seems to be made by ai

Firstly: I'm looking forward to seeing this update.
Secondly: I'm a little skeptical. Nothing personal , because I understand the complexity of creating a game.
I prefer to give suggestions and constructive criticism, rather than making offenses, as in my opinion, it doesn't help the development of the game.
Third: if everything that was proposed was actually implemented, then you gained another supporter.
