VN Ren'Py Heroes of Celtica [v0.2.1] [Slamjax Games]

[Slamjax]

Harem upcoming ?!(I hope yes)

Ntr upcoming ? (I hope not)

If you make a harem game, then at its core, it needs to be a harem game. Same with netorare - it needs to be set up to be netorare right from the beginning. In Heroes of Celtica, each hero-class storyline is going to have multiple love interests to choose from and in different combinations. It doesn't make sense to have netorare in this kind of set up. But netori? Absolutely.
I have my own vision for the game, but I will give people the choice to avoid scenes by always giving a non-sex option. I'm also not planning to make a vanilla harem game where all the female characters fall at the feet of the MC and you collect them like Pokémon one after the other. It will be more interesting than that.

I got all 4 paths and also got the craftsman ending. Also unlocked all scenes except one. So how to unlock this particular scene?

This is a new scene for v0.1.3 and has several conditions to be met.
Become a druid, but don't get Etain Favor to 4. Etain should also fall under the spell of the Geis Stone during your initial mission. You will then get a choice to enter this scene before the Battle of Moy Tura.

So the public release of the next update is still on track for today, right? I've got a surgery to stress out over tomorrow, but I was looking forward to taking my mind off it with this.

But... now I'm not sure if I got the dates wrong? I had it marked down as "two weeks after Sigma tier", but I thought Sigma and Alpha were supposed to get it at the same time, and it seems Alpha just got it last week...

It's been 3 weeks since the public release of v0.1.0, along with a v0.1.3 minor public update last week.
The next major public release of v0.2.0 will happen when I have the update I'm working on completed. I'd say I'm 45% of the way there with most of the images done and hoping to make good progress this weekend on the writing. You'll have to be patient on the next public release. I kept a 4 week schedule on Stellar Incognita, but that was a simpler game. Heroes of Celtica was always going to have a 6 week release cycle in my mind. Until the exclusive content is made available from the 5th update, the release schedule is:

Omega - 0 week access
Sigma - 1 week after Omega
Alpha - 2 weeks after Omega
Public - when Omega gets the next update (public got v0.1.0 when Omega got v0.2.0)

Good luck with your surgery, brother.

Most mind control content seems to be behind the Druid class from what I can see. For some odd reason, this is the only class I can't seem to unlock going through the prologue. I'm taking every opportunity for evil deeds and sex offered I think. Anyone else have this issue?

There's been a change from v0.1.0 to v0.1.3
There's a note in the Changelog about this.

The dev have already made few version in advanced, he is staggering the released. From what he said, a new version is publish after 4 (or 5) version is developed in advance. Meaning the dev is in the midst of developing version 0.7 and will release version 0.3 when 0.7 is completed.

0.2 - Druid story - Evil Druid Magic Rings, some hero's wife is cursed and warrior queen plot.

I would say the dev is late for the 0.3 released... from the current trend, it seems like a slow burn development. Also Patreon version have extra story in it but only after version 0.5 if not mistaken. So if you ask me sub only after version 0.5.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Actually suits my play style better to be honest. Will Druid still have most of the mind control scenes?

Druid - enchantment, transformation, cursed items, betrayal, serial induction
Bard - lewdification, release of inhibitions
Warlord - corruption of morality
Champion - straight-up heroic with romance options

Since sharing and swinging type activities aren't ntr, will any of the routes have this type of content?

When will warlord path get updated.

big fan of the diverse possibilities, going to be fun to try to out every route like in your previous games

Before I came to F95, I just considered swinging and sharing to be a thing some adult games had, but didn't realize how super sensitive people can be to it. I think that swinging and sharing can make for a better game IF it is written correctly and used correctly. It definitely has a lot of potential to be a more mature and complicated theme.

So here's the thing - I don't have any current plans to do swinging or sharing, but if I did include something like this, it would be sharing and it would be in the Bard or Druid route, because that's where it would make sense. However, if I ever did include sharing, there would always be a choice not to select it. If I'm designing HEROES OF CELTICA so players can make a virgin playthrough, then you will be able to play it and avoid any of the sex content, too.

In the Irish mythology, the women can sometimes be objects for the men, but also sometimes crafty free agents. Queen Maeve, one of the main characters of the Ulster Cycle of mythology talks to warriors she wants to recruit by offering "the friendship of my thighs". I thought that was a funny line.

When will warlord path get updated.

In version 0.4.0
