Jungles do tend to be full of deadly animals...


Although that would be awesome. Like, can you imagine the MC and Lin riding into battle against the evil human slavers on a tamed Triffid?
Triffids are man eating plants from outer space, based on John Wyndham's book The Day of the Triffids (also 1962 movie, excellent 1981 tv-series and not so good 2009 tv-series)

First, I want to say, great game and great writing. I picked this up simply to try a new game, can't believe the amount of good work and heart in this.
Second:
./scripts/kali_events.rpy:881: nala "Arthur also writes the dark elf's king was kind to their people, made sure no one was starving, not even the old. And was even able to maintain multiple trade routes and aqueducts through the mountains, rivers, and deadly fauna that makes up their harsh jungles."

Did you mean to say "deadly flora" instead of "deadly fauna"? Fauna are the animals and flora are the plants. I ask because I often confuse the two myself.
I mean the jungle doesn't just have plants and both flora and fauna can be dangerous, so I would think both apply.

Maria has been blocked before, and I think the outcry if he had locked both of them, especially making us wait to get her back, would have been insane.
I wonder if it would be better if Maria's route would also be blocked after the latest events - similarly to how it is done with the android.

Also

Yea, that would have been gut wrenching.
I think it would have been worth it, though. Imagine the outcry when she gets locked, but then she's suddenly back one or more updates later. The wait could end up building anticipation that could amplify the impact of her return events. I'm just saying I do see merit in the suggestion, though the merit does come with risk.

Been there, done that, rather not repeat it, especially with two girls at one time.

I know exactly what they are. Hence the suggestion. Nothing quite like literally riding a man eating plant into battle.
I'm not sure how that came up as me, but it did, probably the site being stupid again, this isn't the first time something screwed up when commenting. I'm not the one who said that.

That is strange. But oh well. It's not really that important in the grand scheme of things. Just remember to trim your Triffid roughly once a year and you'll be fine.

Random question. Given that android was built by the MC's grandfather and considers him to be her father / father figure does that mean the MC and her are cousins? So like, once we finish the crusade for elf rights and android rights are we going to have to crusade for the right to marry ones cousins as well?

This is starting to feel like a game of crusader kings. :)
lol

I'm not great with extended family structures but I think that'd make her more like an aunt? Perhaps a half-aunt?

yeah if Android was the daughter of the MC's Grandfather she would be the sibling of either the MC's mother or father (can't remember if the grandfather is the paternal or maternal Grandfather)
So Aunt.

Harem Hotel uses Honey Select for the renders so I don't think it's possible to get it on Steam
It could work since Illusion doesn't mind other games being made with their software and has openly said so, but the whole 'having to strip the entire game of adult content' thing makes the effort not worth the trouble.

I wonder how she would react when confronted with this fact...

When did they say that? The last I heard, they specifically said making money off of Illusion assets "is not allowed" and they will start issuing DMCA take down notices to anybody who does. Did they change their minds?

Also, since when did Steam start making people get rid of adult content? I see plenty of porn games on Steam right now and the sexual content is all still there

It depends on if she was programmed with the knowledge of how morality plays into relationships like that or the ability to learn that morality.

Making money, not making games. What I said was they have said they will allow making games off their assets, I never said making money was or was not involved nor does making a game automatically entail making money. Example, I am now in the planning stage of game development myself for a Koikatsu based game that will not only not be sold, but I am specifically forbidding the sale of as one of my terms for distribution. My pay for this project will be the experience I gain as a developer and that's it. While I am using Illusion assets, I am within Illusion's terms by not making money off of it, they never said I can't make anything else off of it.

Steam has been doing that since day one, they say they will allow adult content, but they specifically make developers who try to sell an adult game go through the hell of stripping all adult content out of the game itself and issuing an off site patch. This is why Illusion had to do so for Koikatsu and AI Shoujo, though Koikatsu specifically was more because of its school setting than the actual adult content part. AI Shoujo, however, does not have the school setting excuse.
