VN Ren'Py How I Became the Bodyguard of the Saintess! [v0.7] [Lunardis]

[Lunardis]

Sorry for the double post. Still V 0.7, new save.

You know, for someone who is acclaimed to be a sword genius... all it takes is a bright light to addle her brains and make her forget how to hold a sword. Good Job Princess!

IE -Sword should be showing as flat to the viewer, with the 'finger/hand guard' facing out from the fingers, at the angle of camera we'd likely not see it (which could be why it was done this way, to show a sword, even if held messily).

What is it with bright flashy lights that makes skilled ppl forget how to grip a sword?

IE. Sword should be reversed - the curve side would be up, not down, and the hand/finger guard would be on the other side pointing out away from the fingers, not away from the palm.

Sorry if I come across nitpicky, not meaning to be. I'm just posting stuff as I spot it while replaying. Enjoying replaying it, and TBH all 3 things I've mentioned in this and prior post most ppl would prolly never notice.

Note: Can't remember if the glasses were always there, but I loved seeing MC and mother wearing them when Angie came in and did the big light magic attack.

Note #2: Maybe I'm misremembering, but is there more & different music being played? I'll admit I didn't remember the game having music playing as much, and am really enjoying the music so far.

Don't worry. I'm always open to feedback, especially if it's aimed at improving the game

And yes, I probably could have done a better job with the sword position. I'd be surprised if those are the only examples you'll find. The first one with Alyssa is shocking, I can't believe I missed it.

The others I think are less of a problem. I'll probably try and fix it, as long as it doesn't take too long.

And yes, the sunglasses were there. I liked the idea of the protagonist and her mother being so used to seeing Angelica's light magic that they always had sunglasses with them to protect their eyes

There have been a few others, but I didn't post them since they were basically 'here and gone' - I think the only reason I spotted them is because I was actively looking for incorrect sword handling as I was going through.

It's likely ppl won't even see any of the other minor error's - that one at the start is just obvious enough to stand out, and that cause's ppl like me to start looking for more. lol I'll be honest, had I not been actively looking I likely wouldn't have spotted the other 2 I posted, nor the others later (that I haven't posted - that are even less stand-outish than the 2 I posted).

Also, for the vast majority of the time there's no issue with sword holding. Just a scene here and there where a sword gets turned around, but again - unlikely to be spotted unless actively looking for that specific thing.

And yes, the sunglasses were there. I liked the idea of the protagonist and her mother being so used to seeing Angelica's light magic that they always had sunglasses with them to protect their eyes

Indeed, a great idea IMO. Also very much in line with the story of how they live as a family and her use of magic.

Edit - replaying the game has reinforced one thing: My absolute and utter hatred of the Prime Minister, and the great hope we get to put her down and end her miserable life.

Edit #2 - Just adding this for fixing. The incorrect person is referenced I think - discussion with Alyssa about 5 years ago, she says "the princess and Theresa took it badly". Should be "The Saintess and Theresa took it badly" right? Referencing the Saintess makes more sense than the Princess.

Leaving my mark,trying the game now

This game became a 2 star for me when it lost focus as a story game and became a multiple ending game! That is like reading them shitty IF books that had multiple endings.. The story became shit and this game did the same. Once it became a damn choice with the stupid door the game became utter garbage as it was no longer story focused but became like any other doujin game with multiple endings.

What an strange take, rare to see people fighting for a kinetic novel. Pretty sure youre in the vast minority with your line of thought lol

You don't go changing the game people are playing.. Ok 3 chapters in now I'm going to change what the entire game was designed to be. You pulled that crap in a book and changed the story people will not buy the next book that is for sure. When a game is story focused the story has to remain the priority and not change what you been reading.

This is no different if I spent hours reading a book than the entire story changes how it is told that would not happen as publishers would lose readers. This game had a story and the story was the focus not a sandbox and when you go change it after players spend hours on the game than the play has right to be pissed off as the developer wasted my time in something I would not have played in the first place.

There is no sandbox, what the fuck are you talking about.

All (good) avns have choices which lead to different outcomes, keep playing kinetic novels if you cant stand that lol

Like not even getting a choice about which girls to add?

The answer is always all of them... why am I playing a harem game if I want to choose, that's silly..

There will be an ending in which the protagonist is with the four heroines. You will need to finish every path to have it. Not the usual way to bring a harem here, but that's still one.

I do remember talking to you about the fact their would be one, I was waiting for it to be ready, but if it's play through each path first, then I guess I could hop back in.

Here's the developer note in the first page here:

“How I became the bodyguard of the Saintess” is a Free Adult Visual Novel made with Ren'Py, with art/renders from Illusion's Koikatsu. The structure is inspired by Japanese Visual Novel, which means one common route, then different paths, one for each heroine in the game. There are four heroines, so four paths."

These guys are literally crazy and out of touch with what the audience wants from avns, trying to push their strange and entitled minority opinion as something a dev should care about lol

To be clear, you're free to play or follow the game or not, it's your choice. I tried to inform people about the kind of game I was working on. If you missed it, OK, it can happen. Let's move on.
