Ren'Py Fantasy Manager [v0.9.3] [Horologist]

[Requiem131]

Not usually my cup of tea as a genre, but I'm looking forward to playing it tonight and leaving a review after reading all the comments and posts and seeing you so engaged with the community. Well done!

Ah! I like games that let you choose gender I personally like female protagonists. Hopefully there are well-defined sub-routes where the player can choose between hetero or lesbian/yuri route, even a bi-sexual route path if the female character is chosen. I'll keep an eye on this.

Yes there is, there is a devkit which automatically converts WM packs to the new system, but I just uploaded a new release an took it out of the main game, to avoid some false virus flags. The devkit is safe though. I'll put it in the OP and Itch.io very soon

Edit: It's added to the OP now

The AI art is really good. The general design is also quite good. Keep it up!

Small Update
v.0.9.2.3

--- Fixed an issue where save/load could crash the game or required a restart
--- Fixed an issue where save/load w/ file export could duplicate workers
--- Improved the success chance of all events
--- Decreased the frequency of random events happening from 50% to 30%
--- Having a manager will further decrease the odds of events happening (Not for important, quest, or recruitment events)
--- Added multiple traits including "Furry" on request
--- Improved the conversion system from Whoremaster

You can find more and fun tweaks or mods in

, come to request a feature, or share your own.

Please note, the devkit has been split to a separate file to try and help some users with malware false flags. The Editor is safe, and you will still find it in

You must be registered to see the links

and in the OP.

Edit: I found an issue, I was testing the devkit and created "Malevola" but added no images, that worker might trigger some issues, you can manually delete it from \game\data\workers or just re-download the game, I've fixed the fixed version now (sorry).

I've created a small patch with an explanation in discord. If you end up testing I can add it next release as a featured mod.

Brilliant stuff mate! Will take a look asap. Hope I can do it this weekend.

Thank you very much!

Looks good, but nah man, I don't fuck with games that have even the slightest hint of a potential malware. I've played dozens of renpy games and none of them gave me virus alerts - if something flags as malware, that means there's something shady going on.

Think with your brains, not your dicks people.

If only most AV alarms wouldn't be "false positives", that would be true.

That's catagorically untrue though. One antivirus flag is NOT an indication there's a virus. Unless it's flagging on multiple AV suites, there's no actual threat.
AV do this on purpose. Different sensitivities to different things not only distinguish the product they're trying to move, but it also means they can "share" customers since smart people need more than one anti-virus. It also spares them the work of refining their AV further, which has diminishing returns.
It's my advice to you to get more than one anti-virus. Even free versions are fine, especially as a secondary, since you can always just manually scan anything that pings on the first AV. But never trust just a single anti-virus.

Will there be and android version?

Will there be and android version?

I have been unable to create it, for now. I'll keep trying, but I'm not as good with code as I'd like to be. If anyone wants to help, I'll try to help them help me

Great stuff! Very Promising. I have a few UI/UX quality of life requests that are very common in VN games.
- Unlimited Save Files - For a game like this to only have 6 tabs of save files makes it so difficult to track. Would request adding the < and > symbols so you can make as many save files as you want.
- Allow skipping transitions - Something that really speeds up gameplay when you've been playing the game long enough that you favor a bit more speed.

These would make this game far more playable for me personally. Cheers and Good luck!

I played a lot of WM back in the day. I'll give this a shot.

 

[Bloodly]

Something I'm noticing right from the start is the game is slow to react. Just going from option to option, and how long it takes for the selection to light up, or how long it takes for a click to register. It should be instant or close to. It is not. Why is this?

EDIT: The monster workers have no pictures? Or I'm just unlucky?

Both features have been added, they should be there next release. I think transitions were already skippable, but I've added another layer to guarantee that. I have added an overlay when you go beyond page 6 so that you can have as many saves as you want. In the meantime, you can save as many files as you want

I am testing this right now and... there is no slow down on the clicks on my end. I have tried this game in 5 different computers, and this is the first time I'm hearing about this. Not sure about what you might be happening to you, there is no apparent "why" to this. Maybe in some cases the information button that has some hover over info is making the mouse look a bit slower? (you can toggle that off in the info button).

I have only tried it in windows, so it might happen in other systems, but I can click fast enough to skip 0.25 second transitions, (which relates to the request I just answered). I don't think it can go any faster. If you have a different system, or more information, let me know and I'll try to help you out.

 

[heybeterino]

anyone got a save?

 

[Cubias]

Anyone tried this on joiplay since this error shows up after you selected your name
