Ren'Py Him [v0.4.0] [Kabuki]

Sooo......

The Queen is dead and there doesn't even seem to be a way forward (at least for now) with Avery, makes me wonder what this scene was for

Spoiler: What's the point

At the very least a choice should've been given to choose either or (where the MC's actions/decisions dictate which one he supports/gets). I do understand the point of too many branches but come on Hannah was important to a lot of people here, the same way he gets to decide whether to try to save Becky or be a wuss and just hope for the best with King Hod. For now I'll just adopt a wait and see attitude but if this isn't rectified I'm one of those who will drop this one

I've heard the feedback and I'm already adding an alternate outcome. If someone wants to drop the game, that's their choice. I don't need to constantly hear threats about quitting when you're already playing the game before it's even publicly out.

If you want to do somenthing like this, always give the player options, i personally hate drama of any kind in these games, i like to play as a main character of the story, and is somenthing happend is because i have choose to be a dick or not. In my opinion, all the changes before this update was going the way that i really like, even the way that the mc act, i have no idea why this game have this 180º, from going to the (in my opinion) right way to "you like this, well, fuck you all".

So I'll check back in a year, maybe by then the dev will have decided what kind of story he actually wants to tell and figure out what that story is. The tone shifts, retcons, and the previous reworks are making these updates annoying rather than entertaining. This kind of thing is why I use F95 to try before I buy.

I just subbed to you. If I'm gonna be bitching as much as I am I might as well support you. If you wanna keep the Queen dead then it's fine but there has to at least be repercussions for Alex. She chose to fight evil with the same evil, robbing Becky of a mother like she would have lost her brother. I don't want an LI like that and we should be given the option to permanently close her path and for us to distance ourselves but still work alongside her if we're on the Honor path.

Man this game is getting better and better with each update. The little changes between the first releases and this one, the better flow of the story, real shit happening, bitchslapping Avery and Alex felt very cathartic and I can't wait for the "rescue Becky" mission.

I'm already imagining a Mass Effect 2 suicide type mission where characters can die if some stuff hasn't been completed beforehand. One can dream .

 

[N0madS0uL]

This AVN has been a bit all over the place and I hope the developer settles down on a route now. Fact is that several side characters seem to be optional but there are main LIs that will not be. I am also disappointed that the Queen gets killed, though we don't officially see her die, she was stabbed in the gut and could survive, perhaps that is also the way to absolution for Alex? Personally I feel the 2 options to either slap her or forgive her were not great. Sure slapping her could work, but simply forgiving her after she killed one of the MCs LIs? I am sorry but is the MC that fickle? Did the queen not mean more to the MC? Do we accept regicide like that?

I think the developer is juggling too much and not sticking to defined script but being reactive or something. The idea I mentioned above can work, the dev can keep the queen alive as a prisoner (a bargaining chip) one that could even throw a spanner in the works for the MCs plan to seek help at the other king, who had a thing for the old queen. I also believe that the MC can eventually catch Avery and get her to submit to him, make her a breeding sow after her part in the plot is revealed. Unite with Rebecca and then take over and set about to attack Alex's dad(whathisname) and save the old queen. Obviously some side stories and details can change, but this idea could work, but killing the old queen off is not a good idea...

I have some other ideas also for the developer if they keen to hear them, but this was the crux of it.

 

[Retrofire]

Just to clarify from a fairly disjointed thread above, am I correct in cobbling together that the dev went from a more sandboxy delivery to a more linear VN-style with freeroams, and that's why so much side-girl content I seem to remember from previous updates is simply not there on a fresh playthrough? (Ren, Reham, Yuuhi, etc?)

compressed for mac?

Bob69 - Can you help us Mac users out? I know you have done a compressed update before on this one. Thanks.

Played this game since it first appeared here, i think i tried all of the versions that were public on this site.

Honestly, I really hope that the game will get even more mature, like that plot twist with

was pretty nice, it's like a spark for the game to finally really begin. Before that, it was like the game was in an alpha, like the autor had no idea what to do with his ideas, so he was testing things out, checking what works well. Now it looks more like a beta version, the idea is still being polished, but the general outline is done.

What I love about this game is how it is getting better with each version. First from sandbox to more linear story telling, from goofy tone to more mature one, how characters look like and how they act - that furry maid look to humanlike one, MC magic gun to being skilled in combat, Princess being less of a bitch to more of a tsundere character.

I'm saying that again, but i really hope the game will go fully in that more mature direction, but still, even if not, there wasn't a single change that i didn't dislike yet, so maybe the dev will surprise me. Keep up the good work.

i'm honestly not too fond of the way the queen and Alex was handled in this update

Thanks, that worked, appreciate it, now I don't have to wait for a Mac Version anymore.

Hmm I don't know how I feel about the queen being killed and the mc losing a hand. I hope that at the very least there is some kind of magic that can restore the mc's hand. I would also not mind if the queen ends up being still alive but she is probably gone. Other than that I actually liked the update. Up until now it kind of felt like the mc didn't really have any real objective so it's nice to see him working towards something other than just collecting girls. Really excited to play the next update.

Kabuki_ Sorry if this has already been asked but if we choose alex to have a penis, will we have the option to let her do stuff with the girls or will she only do stuff with the mc?

 

[TheCragger]

Went from a interactive VN witch choices and a tough of sandbox with a kinetic novel where choices don't matter and an ever shifting story that the MC has no actual control of or influence of. The renders are amazing but going kinetic novel has killed this for me. Can just spam the space bar to see the scenes instead of reading text that you can't influence.

How is this a kinetic novel when you have choices that can lead into a game over?

 

[Retrofire]

Is it kinetic?

I get the sense that at the very least, your choices will determine who joins your

Also, many of the choices are unavailable above/below certain honor threshholds.

Don't get me wrong, I replayed like four times trying to determine if I'd missed content because I remembered more, but I also recognize the corner the dev has painted himself into from a sheer art inventory perspective with variable pregancies.

Just because a couple boxes appears and you click on them doesn't mean anything changes. Most of the times the exact same thing happens no matter what minus maybe one screen image. (Able's woman dying outside the tavern or not). Everything is set in stone and there are far fewer options even in the beginning then there use to be.

Hi everyone,


I’m having a serious performance issue with the game and I’m hoping someone can help.


When I reach the scene with Maia, specifically during the sex scene, the animation causes the game to slow down a lot. The FPS drops heavily and after a few seconds the game starts freezing. In some cases, it even locks up my entire computer, not just the game.


This only happens during that specific scene. The rest of the game runs normally without performance issues.


Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Is there a fix or workaround (like disabling animations, lowering specific settings, or editing a file)?

Ok... by definition a kinetic novel doesn't have any choices. So it is not a kinetic novel. If you think the game should have more choices that is fine. But calling it a kinetic novel is just kind of dumb.
