VN Ren'Py Elleria [v1.3.3 - Wheel of Fate] [M.C Games]

[Mystic]

I did buy it on Steam, and playing it on Steam. When I buy a "finished" game, not one on EA, I expect my work to not be completely lost mid-playthrough. I am not sure having an attitude about it is going to help here.

There is a difference between "attitude" and when I'm faced with something unreasonable mate. Given the amount of work that went into it, such things are bound to occur with such major work.

And I also see no issue with the patch I provided, which allows you to pretty much resume where you want. You don't need to start from the start. If you have any suggestions on perhaps how to improve chapter selections, sure, I'm willing to listen.

But otherwise just saying what you did while I busted my ass doesn't help either in all honesty.

Also, a little FYI note. Given the fact Elleria flunked in sales, left me in a minus from its overall production, I shouldn't touch it with a ten meter long stick and scrap it, throw it into a fucking trash-can bin and burn it and move on.

Yet here I am, despite all that, despite no profit, giving it giant updates. So, try to understand that as well.

Hey, I understand your frustration. It would be nice if you'd understand mine, too.

Hey, I understand your frustration. It would be nice if you'd understand mine, too.

Yes I do. So, hence I said... if you have any suggestions for me on how to improve, any ideas whatsoever, the chapter selection. Please, let me know.

I can expand it a bit more, so you can perhaps jump to specific parts of chapters already or something. But, whatever the case, I need ideas. Cause, I don't know what to do if no one gives me any insight.

From review by SteelyDan14
"I've said this before, but so many of these AVNs start out strong. The devs have a great idea to start but have obviously not fleshed out the entire story and eventually lose their way. This is a perfect example. Strong start, crappy middle game and lord only knows where the ending is going to go."

The reviewer left out one thing: The toxic culture here, of entitled, brainless members, contributes to a situation they describe and add to.
But of course, those same members don't have the empathy to see it's partially their fault. It's blaming everything else but yourself times hundreds of Wack-A Moles here, the dev has to deal with.

If you remove the toxic element, what's left? Constructive suggestions and supportive members. Oh my God, what an original thought.
I know this won't make sense to most here, especially the 14-inch dildo.

==================
My thoughts on the game are that it's good. It has excellent world-building. One standout to me is that the music fits well in the game.
This shows forethought and hard work for the developer.

 

[OWSam000]

Here, I did this real quick.

Just drop that and let it go into game folder. It should prioritize it over archive... that should I believe solve your issue without you having to deal with shortcut extensions.

I used your fix but still got the TypeError: '<='

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'float'

Hi Mystic I also can't load my save from v1.0.
Error seems different to the one marked in OP.

Spoiler: Error

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Is there any known fix for this one, please?

Can you tell me where is your save file, like, where did you save it? You're trying to load your save but... at which point in the game?

 

[Mystic]

I used your fix but still got the TypeError: '<='

Right. So the zip isn't doing the trick. How about the shortcut? Let's try that.



Create a Modified Shortcut (Windows - Easiest for many):

• Navigate to the folder where the game is installed.
• Find the main game executable file (usually something like Elleria.exe).
• Right-click on the executable (Elleria.exe) and choose "Create shortcut" (or "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)").
• Find the newly created shortcut file.
• Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties".
• Go to the "Shortcut" tab.
• Look for the "Target:" field. It will contain the path to the executable, likely in quotes (e.g., "C:\Games\Elleria\Elleria.exe").
• Click inside the "Target:" field and go to the very end of the text, after the closing quote (if present).
• Type a space, and then add the arguments: --renderer gl2 --framerate 60
• The "Target:" field should now look something like: "C:\Elleria\Elleria\Elleria.exe" --renderer gl2 --framerate 60
• Click "Apply" and then "OK".
• Launch the game using this modified shortcut from now on.

Hit me back when you're done.

Well amen to that. Plus DLC turns it into choices storm fest. Since everyone was complaining about choices.

 

[caboose12]

I get an error as soon as i click options in the main menu, it then takes me directly into beginning a new game where I alos continue to get errors.

I tried this. the game doesnt launch through the shortcut

 

[Mystic]

I made the save at the end of the last update, v1.0.
IIRC it was the 2nd meeting with the dark knight, where he wants to "settle this between us":
View attachment 4768688

Then in that case, use Chapters Selection. Use the DLC option, it will bring you straight where you are. As you've already completed Chapter 5.

It will unlock all gallery renders for you, and you can continue from there. You will have no issues, and you don't need to bother with any of this.

I am not about to get into a flame war, but you are cherry picking my review. I wrote a balanced review and complimented the dev on being talented and having the ability to produce a high quality game. I loved this game and was totally into the world buidling but the lame point and click ruined it for me. There is no direction. No hints, you just randomly click things until something happens.

Regardless, this is my opinion. Reviews are there to post opinions. I did not come into this thread and start flaming the game or try to be "toxic". I left my comments in the review thread. I am sorry to break this to you but not everyone is going to like everything you like in life. If you can't handle a difference of opinion, you are not going to get very far in this world.

 

[Mystic]

Alright, hang on. For fuck's sake, let me just reupload the Steam build for you people myself. Cause I've already fixed it on Steam and patched it there.

Not sure what the fuck is going on, and why it isn't working. Just let me reupload the stuff here.

 

[N0lla]

Got this error when clicking options in the main menu. I did add the options.rpy that you suggested and still this happened.

it is the same nonetype float error that was mentioned earlier. I tried the shortcut fix but I then wasnt able to even launch it from the shortcut

I tried this. the game doesnt launch through the shortcut

What about the Shift+G Menu: This is Ren'Py's built-in way for users to deal with display problems.

• Hold down the Shift key while launching the game, OR press Shift+G once the game is running (if it runs long enough before crashing).
• It will bring up a menu titled "Graphics Acceleration" . From there, you can select options like "Force ANGLE2 Renderer" or "Force GL2 Renderer". You need to select one, choose "Quit", and then restart the game normally.
