VN Ren'Py Elleria [v1.7.1] [M.C Games]

[frogbert]

one of the dumbest things I've ever read and I haven't even started the VN yet.

Faith is belief despite the lack of verifiable facts, pretty much the most stupid reason to fight a war.
Faith is the antithesis of logic and reason.

I'm pretty sure most or all of the dialogue is AI generated, just following patterns from soggy fan fiction without worrying whether any of it makes logical sense.

Im sorry I dont "get" this "dlc" it feels like cheap bullshit, where is book 2? Will there even be one. I read rumours that the dev was involved with the Valenza family, that mafia game, if I recall they dropped it or changed it due to some issue with incest in the plot. Something that was easy to fix really, but whatever, whats going on with this dev, is he ever gonna complete a game? How can they expect support at all if they keep screwing around like this, its like 1 step forward and 2 steps back all the time...pick a project and stick with it to the end please!

yah book 1 is at least complete

From the Dev's discord on 21/10 when this dropped on steam

Phew... it’s been quite some days — and even longer nights — working on this.
From coffee to energy drinks, from headaches to bickering, we’ve had it all. But we’re finally here — the Sands of Time DLC is now live on Steam!

Elleria: Sands of Time is now live! Step into the desert of lost ages — where every revelation comes at a price.

The DLC brings some of the biggest revelations yet — especially for Eliot Magnus himself. He’s always been somewhat of an enigma in Elleria, but Sands of Time dives deep into that mystery and uncovers truths that are not so easy to accept.

Sands of Time was always envisioned as a darker, more dramatic story, but after so much shadow, even Eliot might need a little light. Our upcoming updates will focus on wholesome, character-driven moments — featuring Amynth, Vaerith, and perhaps more familiar faces if time allows.

Each post-launch update will highlight a specific character, giving them the space and attention they deserve. Everyone will get their moment to shine.

It’s been an intense journey — some things went smoother than others, and the launch wasn’t without its curses (it seems The Blight briefly touched our code right as we uploaded to Steam!). But we were quick to banish it and get everything running again.

We poured our hearts into this DLC.
We enjoyed creating it, and we truly hope you’ll enjoy experiencing it.

Doesn't sound like this is over, nor is valenza family over (they're pumping out episodes for that atm)

The only revelation you need about this game is it has a high rating because when it first dropped a lot of people gave it 5 stars because people give incomplete single chapter stories perfect scores on this site. Most people who played beyond that saw how messy this got really fast.

He got the equivalent of writers blog on making this game and there won't be anything good coming to this game unless he comes back to it in a couple years. Not sure why he kept arguing against anyone who felt something was off when he was already in narnia(valenza) with his mind.

Not writers block, they had no idea where the story was going and thought they could stall with the walls of useless text to pad the run time. These stories work if there is a set of bones to build it on, but the plan quickly became power creep vs the devs super power of loving to hear themselves talk too much. Its like a pretentious lit student used AI. None of it was making sense and most people saw it.

The translation to Russian is ready, and now I can enjoy the game.

This update turned the game into a chore. So much reading saying nothing of value. It's become a PowerPoint presentation.

Its crazy how a dev can torpedo a game like this. When it first dropped and up until the end of book 1 it was actually pretty good. Had likable characters, the main girl was great, the story, while not some amazing thing was pretty decent...and then ever since they announced the direction the game was going to go with just bailing on the characters people liked every single thing about it just tanked. The characters are boring and cookie cutter and the story reads like AI slop.

I still check up on the game every so often to see if it can get back some of what made it good, but man is it disappointing now.

It was never particularly good.
I wrote this back early in 2024.

It was bad then and I'm sure it's only got worse.
This happens when someone, despite being conversational in English, doesn't really understand it, yet think's they're a literary genius.

I don't know about genius or not, but he certainly thinks more highly of himself than he should, and has rage issues, besides. Sorta reminds me of me, in that regard...

The sands of time dlc is still locked atleast in the compressed version.
Edit: it's locked in the uncompressed version as well. But the video files of sands of time is there in the game folder.
