Ren'Py GameOver [v24.11.01 EV] [Azulookami & Black Cat Studios]

[GravGrav]

I wonder why don't they just make the event auto-saved once you triggered, but bring up this extra hurdle in an already very confusing game.

I think because of the plot of the game. When a game over happens your character goes through it and then time warps back to the morning of the day it happened with only subconscious recollections of what happened. If you hadn't slept, then it would be the same day you did anything before that game over. Meaning those events within the story of the game haven't happened.

And the main plotline is trying to figure out who cursed you with this time warping reversal magic and why. Since some of the other characters can slightly notice the memories from other timelines and the most powerful characters like Diakor just outright know what your powers do because he can remember all the other timelines more or less. Though he doesn't know how or why.

I don't think that explanation's good enough.
If the "revert back to the morning" means anything happened that day doesn't happen, then the Game Over also shouldn't leave a mark.

Tho I can totally see where you coming from: If you haven't reached the Savepoint then the "reset" will wipe your "progress". But for this game specifically, the "Savepoint" should be when you triggered the event, not when you choose to go to bed.
A fine example is the Anime Re:Zero (Strongly recommend if you hvn't seen already).

Besides, it heavily damages the already convoluted and confusing game-flow: Back-tracking is a terrible enough game design, but difficult to even back-track just makes everything so much worse.

Anyone have the new update?

 

[deadeater]

This month is not out yet that new update is for public and patreon

Not a fan of the new warden character. His scenes genuinely make me want to turn against Diakor.

How so?

 

[jastranger]

How so?

Outside of his characterization, I disliked the lack of forewarning for pure and unredeemed sadism. Only after going through it and getting the associated gameover do you get to talk to someone about him to avoid it and progress the plot. As for the warden himself, he's an absolute lunatic and literal assassin. A genuinely bad person being installed in a central position of power that determines life or death. If that's Diakor's idea of good government I think it's time for a rebellion... It'd be hilarious if we get the choice to side with the creepy thing in the void.

New EV version has been updated, waiting for the hero. Thanks in advance!

Diakor himself aint all that great either. He factory resets rigur mid conversation cause the minotaur had the sin of catching feelings for the mc. he's also interested in the and wants him as his as a personal asset to gain more power. even more so if you took the mpreg potion cause papa dragon wants his busted time babies fully kitted with gale force and life taker right out the shell. so im not surprised he has a megalomaniac assassin as his warden.

but all common sense goes out the window cause the hot problematic dragon wants to skewer me with is godly meat rod.

How do I complete the second task without completing the first one? Because of this, I can't open a dialog box that will show Captain Rana's location. I've already tried everything and even opened a Residential area.

The first and second scene are alts for whether or not you've met Diakor yet, you only need one of them. The wiki says "To be able to access Ran in the Residential area, you will need to have been very personally close to him before. If you have, then Garthoz will tell you his location and mark it on your map, since he thinks the Captain needs company now that he's no longer involved in the Barracks." and "Later the Residential area will unlock, though specific characters there will require other actions to find. To have Ran appear in the area, that knight you saw, Garthoz, will need to tell you of the former Captain's location." I suspect you needed to have completed *all* of Ran's scenes before he got replaced.

As far as I know, the requirement is indeed to have completed all of Ran's scenes up to that point before the knights arrive and kick Ran out. You need to complete everything up through Ran Commands 14 and the second game over with him before that.

If I have to start the game over from the beginning I'm murdering a small animal.

Having characters locked without warning is such a bone headed design choice as well as getting a gameover after progressing a lot of dialog before sleeping also makes you lose progress.

Im fucking done with this game

 

[Icekingchernobog]

i saw this post on the game over chat on azu's discord channel. i wonder if he wanted to do something more with kinks. i wonder if he wanted to add smeg to the list of toggle kinks but got afraid to go through with it? Personally the game is kinky why hesitate on adding in more kinks.

works to mark scenes as seen. The variables checked by the game and progress checker are stored in the "go_dictionary" object, just set the particular variable to 1 to mark it as complete. You need to follow the instructions for disabling save protection or you can use a console enabler mod with commands like "go_dictionary["AzlosWork1.scene3"] = True". You can use that type of command for any of the scene flags listed when you upload your save to saveeditonline.
