RPGM Henteria Chronicles Ch. 3 : The Peacekeepers [Update 15] [N_taii]

[N_taii]

With the new Patreon TOS update, might be time to take some time and get less reliant on Patreon.

Let's not go there. The staff over at Patreon reads the F95 forums and can then use the messages against you. We'll see what happens.

I know Ntaii was worried about putting it on Steam because of his Patreon. But that only applied to Steam Keys as far as I'm aware. The point is to sell a game with a steam key on another site, the key needs to be the same value as buying on steam. As in you can't give a better deal to someone buying a key on another site. But that's just with steam keys, not the game itself.

So if say the game is on Steam for $20, then only a $20 Patreon can get a steam key. However, you can still give the nonsteam version to lower tiers.

The Steam version of HC3 will be a "new" version, meaning it will feature some of the extra scenes from the 20$ version, but not all of them. That way, I can probably work around their guidelines.

It's a shame Steam had to make submitting a game to it so difficult, but it's understandable considering how bad the store was for shovelware and asset flips a few years back.

If you play on the current version and then a new version comes out, do you just move the save from the old version and it will be compatible?

With Steam being in an all-powerful position, they can do whatever they want, including taking 30% of every sale^^

Yup! Unless I change a core element of the game that would break the save (which hasn't happened so far, and shouldn't happen in the future either), all saves are compatible with every new version.

oh will this have a revenge ending like hc2?

Steam's dominance does suck, but they're preferable to the alternative. Every other major online store is greasy. Tencent has a 40% ownership stake in Epic Games which is extremely problematic since they're a Chinese owned company that is associated with the CCP. When EA and Ubisoft tried their own hands at it their storefronts were loaded with spyware. As unfortunate as it is that Steam not only takes such a large cut of every sale and is essentially a monopoly, at the very least it's a storefront first and foremost.

I'd give lesbian/yuri NTR a try. I've never seen one before.

This is the only one I know of; the antagonist stealing the girls is the MCs mother:

On a side note, this game thread is as animated as ever discussing topics that deviate from the game itself xD

Does this one have any scenes where the the girls are having sex in front of the MC and dont care? HC2 didnt have that and wanted to check before playing.

The story isn't really far enough along yet to answer this. Only two of the four girls have even had proper sex at this point, and it's a very recent development for them since it only happened in Update 8. With updates 9 and 10 being devoted to catching up with Haylen and Lily's sidequests instead of the main story, we're now on Update 11 and only just started seeing the immediate fallout of them crossing that line for the very first time.

I just realized that I have zero memory of where Haylen left off. >.>

Thanks for the update

-Jazon makes a deal with the Innkeeper that if he can convince Haylen that her room is uninhabitable for the night then he can get a blowjob from the other nun.

-Jazon gets beaten up by those guys he hired for something.

-Haylen sleeps in Jazon's room that night since hers is "uninhabitable".

-Blowjob....or i guess it's more like a weird 69.

-Quest ends with Jazon groping Haylen in the backseat of the carriage while they're on their way back to the city.

I remember literally none of this.

You're not gonna believe me when i say this but trust me it's true...I was expecting you to say that. Xd

 

[Matoga]

Although i admit i'm a bit surprised that you really don't remember Jazon getting beaten up, you're like the guy's number 1 hater so i thought this was almost like a cherished memory for you.

 

[Oriandu]

I wouldn't say I specifically hate Jazon so much as being completely disinterested in him and what he's doing to Haylen. All of the men have something about them that annoys me. The Duke looks too much like Don Corneo, Ulrod is too much of an asshole, I think the magic shop owner is a bit of a pedo, but I can forgive all of that since there's something about them or their relationship with their partner that makes me like them as antagonists. I can't say that for Jazon, he's such a trope that I can't muster up interest in Haylen's story. Which is why it flits out of my mind almost as soon as I experience it. If we didn't have past indication that N_Taii might accomodate somewhat for a less or non-corrupted Haylen and Lily in the endgame I would probably ignore her content entirely as it's just so uninteresting to me.

 

[Miss Y]

It probably also doesn't help that — at least as far as I am concerned — the whole trip with Haylen was the first time in the whole series where I would describe an update as "pure filler" content which makes it aggressively forgettable. Even the sex feels anticlimactic because it feels more like a repetition of things you've already seen in separate scenes by that point. Unlike with the previous quest where you briefly encounter Jazon's uncle, the most recent one feels entirely self-contained where it just creates a predicament out of thin air with Jazon's little scheme to use the thugs to impress Haylen blowing up in his face, and then just casually solves it before moving on.

Despite Update 12 not being out yet, I feel like you could straight up remove that whole quest from the game and lose absolutely nothing for their arc, because the only thing that happens is that:
A.) Jazon gets his ass kicked
B.) Haylen feels bad for him because he got his ass kicked
C.) She also feels slightly more endeared to the "real" Jazon because he was willing to stand up for her

But even that last one feels so weird to me when Leto also stands up for her and actually manages to protect her. I get the concept on paper; that her whole thing is being motherly and so she feels an urge to comfort Jazon as the more vulnerable one who needs her... but it just didn't click with me at all because of literally everything else about his personality up to that point not leaning into that angle.


( It's me, I'm the #1 Jazon hater. )

 

[Oriandu]

I feel like the best way to summarize what I think Jazon is that he's so thoroughly unimpressive that his uncle felt the need to just casually slag him off to his evil cohorts.

 

[Matoga]

Damn, i was writing a post about Jazon just now where i said something along the lines of "at least this PoL today is the last one before the Update" and that "starting from next week, the focus of the PoL's are probably gonna shift back to Lily and our beloved blue haired wizard", but then the PoL was released and as it turns out the release date got pushed back from Wednesday to Sunday, so we're not getting a PoL next week...probably. (Which i'm totally fine with btw)

Basically what i wanted to say in the post was that for some reason i'm VERY optimistic about Update12, even though i have absolutely no reason to because the PoL's didn't really give away anything so i'm pretty much in the dark about what's gonna happen, but i just feel like this Update is gonna improve Haylen and Jazon's characters a lot. Guess it's just wishful thinking.

 

[Oriandu]

I get the feeling that the update is going to disappoint me. I'll enjoy the scenes because it seems like there's a public bend to them but they'll feature Jazon and Haylen so I'm not really going to find it interesting.

I honestly hope N_Taii doesn't shift back to Lily for the next update. I get that she is still lagging a bit behind, especially if Haylen gets an actual sex scene in update 12, but we just spent six months between main story updates and it has felt like a real slog. If Lily is to get content I hope it's paired with a Rose update. Like the update is 70/30 Rose-Lily, which is how I think the update process should go. Most of it is Rose or Cyanna with Lily and Haylen getting some content too.
