Ren'Py Evalia: The Lust Kingdom [v1.27.01] [VelvetGene]

[Velvet Gene]

As of backer build v1.27.4:
- 3 instances where the game repeatedly crashed. 2 could be recreated, at least for me, while the third couldn't.
In the first two cases. When in court hearings, and in the screen that mentions when the next claimant steps up... if you save there, it can freeze and crash. Restarting the game seems to bypass this, but it'll always crash at least once before you can get around it. This one is inconsistent and doesn't happen all the time, but I have reproduced it enough time to know that it happens.
The second case is on the world map. When trying to click on the map symbol south of the town square, the game will also freeze and crash. This one happens every time that particular map symbol is clicked, again at least it did for me.
The third was on the farm. After having your way with an NPC in the barn, the game may freeze up and crash there. this one I haven't seen anywhere else and have only one into this one freeze/crash scenario literally only once.
- I dunno if this one is a bug, but assuming agreeing to have sex with the bard should lead to lewding them, I'm gonna assume it is. When you agree to their request to show how good you are and get it on, it just goes onto to the next event with nothing happening.

And that's all for now.

Okay, thank you for compiling this, as always! The crash issue is something I am aware of and have already made a fix for that should become available next week! As for the other ones, I'll have to give them a closer look, since this is the first time they've been reported.

As of backer build v1.27.5:
- An 'exception has occurred' error pops during the court event involving the noble who has received an inheritance and will trigger if you pick any option that can cost you commoner reputation.
Here's the log.

- When selecting sex options with the Bard court event, sex is skipped. It doesn't bug anything out, the event just gets skipped over so I'm not sure if that is a bug tho.

Okay, thank you so much for findng these! They should be an easy fix, so they shouldn't be a problem by the next update!

As of backer build v1.27.5:

- During Lizette's 'special date' event. At the end, and assuming she suggests having sex right then and there, when selecting a BJ from 'service', her graphic disappears.

Sometimes then I begin the court hearing, this happened:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

As of backer build v1.27.6:

Less a bug report this time, thank goodness, but more of an impression on the latest events I wasn't really up to date on due to looking for bugs.

- Lizette's events are shaping up nicely. They are are... very cute, at least for me and I like how it branches. Hopefully, we'll see that sort of depth with all unique NPCs and major story events. I do fully see that though so I guess it's more a matter of waiting than anything else.
- The pig farmer event made me laugh! I was kinda hoping they'd be more of a unique NPC like Lizette and Blanche, but meh. Minor detail. But yeah, I mean, they basically made themselves our slave and I was like, 'Okay!'. It came so far out of left field that most of the dialogue options legit reflected the first split second of my own thoughts. They'll be a fun character to keep an eye on.
- I haven't run into too many random NPC events yet so I can't really comment on those yet, which kinda sucks...but i'll chalk that up to just a matter of time.
- The court events are pretty fun and fairly intuitive as to what they'll effect as far as faction influence goes.
Speaking for myself, the nobles and prostitutes are my weakest links due to how expensive an investment they are on top of lack of overall events. That aside, still grindable, so it's not too bad yet.
- One minor bug(?) I did notice though was that sex stats don't seem to be tracked in the unique NPC tabs in the journal. Or at least, I don't seem their experience reflected in their journal entries. I do think they are getting tracked though since some of their dialogue does reflect it if you bang 'em a certain way enough, in my case, lots of anal. Just something I thought I'd point out to maybe take a look at if/wen you get the chance.
- The lack of backgrounds aren't really a problem per se, so much as a bit jarring. Right now, they'd be the alley and barn for now.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied so far and can't wait for more events to see and do!

Btw, still need to buy the gifts by 1... Sorry, but this is annoying :c

I'm glad to see the events work nicely!

In terms of the sex tracker, I'm going to address this issue eventually, but beforehand I'm going to have to revamp the sex skill mechanics a little bit, since I think the current way of improving the NPCs sex skills is a bit unintuitive and tedious, considering the skills will likely play a more important role in the future.

As for the backgrounds, I hear you loud and clear, I'm probably going to update these soon, although it will still be a placeholder asset until I can gather enough money to commission some artists for more professional backgrounds. I'm slowly but surely getting there lol

 

[Crevanille]

As of EA build v1.27.7:

- Court event, prostitutes. Soft lock bug occurs when the prostitute pair tries to show you gratitude. The one where you have to choose between the left and right one. It just locks up there with none of the choices ending the event.

 

[Crevanille]

Now, this was my kink to begin with so this doesn't particularly influence my think8ng beyond wanting to try more games, but holy crap is incest WAY more popular than I expected!

Taking a cue from CK3 for a few suggestions, in order of priority and not necessarily any time soon (obviously), but incest and inbreeding options along with harem court politics, as in partners could potentially offer suggestions of their own.
Examples:
- Faction specific... like Lizette for the Church, Archibald/noble lady A for the nobility, etc...
They'd be rarer than regular faction court events but would yield slightly higher rep with their respective faction of the kingdom.
- Suggestions in how to deal with other nations outside Evalia's borders, like with trade and matters of religion... y'know, since Evalia's interpretation of the church is pretty different elsewhere. Stuff like that.

As for incest and such go? I think using the church and other factions to spread it as 'normal', assuming it wouldn't be already in Evalia that is, would be pretty cool too.
Personally tho, with as depraved as the country is, I'd be legit surprised if it wasn't. J7st saying.

Just some ideas... but, as long as I get incest/inbreeding options, I'm good.

I was just also inspired by the latest round of mechanics based options in the latest backer polls and whatnot.

But regardless, I'm really looking forward to the next update.

hope more art and animation are added. ontop of that, im confused with the non con options, as i dont see it? when can we use our power to manipulate or force ourselves onto people or bribe em with gifts?

Non-con content is limited but there.

Examples include:
- When on patrol and dealing with criminals, an option to just fuck them until you're satisfied and then leave them there on the ground exists.
- Any instance of free use wall of shame punishements count as 'non-con'.
- Anyone you have locked up in the dungeon you can order when they might otherwise refuse.

I've done all 3 and know for a fact those are available non-con options.

As for similar options for regular NPCs? As far as I know, no there aren't really any ways to force your will on them the same way... yet, anyway?

If you want more art and/or animations... you need to support so you can vote for said options since they directly influence content direction for current build cycles, at least until the foundation is properly laid down and the dev can focus on the story more exclusively.
Assets cost time and money and the dev is literally one person working on this gem of a game in their free time.

Not to mention, this is a genuine, feature rich indie sandbox.
It'll get there, just.... slowly.

But, if you want results, well... spread the word and support, or just spread the word to get more support.

As of EA build v1.27.8:
Since this update is really, really small... just some questions, at least until i actually do run across any bugs...
- How do you trigger a breakup? I didn't even know you could....
- More importantly, WHY WOULD YOU WANNA BREAK LIZETTE'S HEART!?
Shame on you if you break our beloved perverted purplette priestess's heart! SHAME!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, we'll see more systems/NPC interactions for the last few builds before hitting v1.28.0... Well, we can hope anyway.

Anyone breaking Lizette's heart really should be put in the stocks tbh.

Normally, breakups happen if you lower a character's affection too much while you're in a relationship with them (there's actually one "ex" relationship type for lovers and and one for friends).

With unique NPCs, however, I want to add special story-based breakup scenes which are triggered when the player resolves specific events in a mean-spirited fashion.

In Lizette's case, and she's the first unique NPC with this kind of breakup scene, it happens if they player has used too many mean lines when talking to her and they ruined the sermon event by constantly nagging and complaining about it.

For now the above-mentioned events are the only type of non-con content in the game. I've already stated that I don't want to focus too much on this type of content, but I am planning on adding a couple more methods of initiating non-con/dubious consent events.

Once I add espionage mechanics, it will be possible to order your secret police to arrest random NPCs. Another method will be to go on adventures outside of the city and capture any enemies that attack you.

Seconded!!!!!

Y'know. I'm not surprised that there are breakup states for having shit affection... but considering my aim of making literally the whole kingdom my harem, that thought NEVER crossed my mind but... yeah, seeing it pointed out kinda smacked me in the face with how obvious something like that could be....

Also, I WOUOLD NEVER BREAK MY GIRLS' HEARTS... on purpose.... Least of all Llizette! Or Blanche!
....Gotta wait until i gender bend the others...
Ngl, this will literally the first game I've ever played where the idea of gender bending is something I really want to see added in... patience, I know.

I think this game works best as a harem simulator, but I want there to be consequences for the player's actions and for there to be multiple ways to resolve certain situations, even the ones that most people wouldn't pick (after all, a good RPG, even a sandbox one, should have impactful choices).

As for genderbending, since the next cycle will be adding the Witch character, I think I'm going to start working on converting the characters. This said, I expect things to get complicated, because I haven't really designed them with the mechanic in mind at first, and so it will take me quite sometime before they're fully functional.

Fingers crossed, at least Blanche and Eugene will be fully switchable by the end of 1.28.

v1.28 will be moving on with the main quest too!? NICE!
As for consequences for potentially doing x but not y or even z? No, I totally agree.
That's just standard good RPG/sandbox design.

Take for example, Lizette's branching character quest. Same thing. It changes based on how you interact with her so, naturally, that should include breaking up with you for being a dick.

As for the genderbending, yeah. Take you're time with it. Rushing never ends well. Small steps. Blanche an Eugene are a decent starting goal too.
....Harem kingdom here I come!!!!!
