VN Ren'Py Imperial Bureaucracy Hero [v0.3] [Munitions Mori]

[Ancalagon451]

A little not sure if an issue with the black and white nuns quest, I happen to be one of those rare few that hanged Syrene to dry once I see that she already received her allotted supplies no matter how short they were (yeah, yeah, shame on me I already atoned with an update that literally had no new content available in my playthrough so I'm not apologizing) and hearing the inner voices praise Syrene after that sounds quite dissonant, so perhaps some dialog tweaking for bastards like me would be appropriate? (I'm sure Unto Dust has quite a few pointed remarks about that).

Anyway, great game and thanks.

EDIT: Spanish for "All world's Navy" is "Armada de todos los mundos" unless you where deliberately aiming for the spanish equivalent of engrish

is there an official unofficial vocabulary.rpy with the legally indistinct terms the cease&desist happy company that shall not be named, but burn in disgrace, would sue the dev for?

 

[sani45]

There is a way to unlock the gallery.

Okay, thanks for letting everyone know. We were waiting on the edge of our seats wondering whether or not you'd be playing this.

Considerably more so. She's going to be an upgraded on-off character, I've got a plan for her during the v0.3X series of updates...


All free, always free! No papers needed. Until the Steam SFW version gets released, which, by the everyone that page is now public and wishlists are a huge help...

And - thank you. Beautiful to one, bizarrely ugly to another, but all very unique, I hope.


Thank you! And - it took longer than I'd like, but that update is here.


The pilgrim's scene is Apparatchik-exclusive, I'm afraid. You've done everything you can do in one run for v0.2.9's content.


Hope you liked it!


Thanks! Besides editing variables, there's usually a version posted on my discord (link on the Patreon, free to join though) a bit after the update that allows you to select all variables and give your auditor schizophrenia.


Thank you!


Nice. That's how it gets ya, if my writing works the way it should.


Goddamn, that is a hell of a compliment. I hope so, one day. That new Steam page for the SFW version is my outstretched hand towards that dream (and being able to freelbrag about this to family/friends


Where's this happening? I kept an eye out during this cycle's editing, but couldn't find what you describe.


That's a wonderful compliment. Thank you, cockandballtorture0000


Gallery's there, and boy, the DE references do not get any more subtle with v0.3...


Phew, sorry to keep you waiting.


Awesome comment, man. I've definitely been leaning more into making it my own setting with v0.3, and more and more going forwards!



I keep going back to this. That's about the highest praise I've ever received. Thank you for writing it.


Appreciate it. You and many others' voices with that message - led to the creation of a Steam page for a SFW version of the game.


Not many lasting effects, yet. Lots of callbacks - the game is split into little compartments rather on purpose, but that will start to change. The Chubbs decision will definitely come back later - your endgame definitely doesn't have to be helping the Frenquis who sent you down there. Dylershaven's story in v0.3+ will be some of the first really big, visible consequences of your actions.


Thanks, and it's here!


I feel the exact same way, and that's why my game is the way that it is. I'm glad so many other people can enjoy it in that way!


Appreciate this. Some of references are quiet, others are about as subtle as a brick to the head... but what you said, is a great way of putting it. I've kept an eye on the DE Succession Crisis, madness. And some of them are just, not it.


I think those were just blank slots to fill up the page, I've discontinued that practice now. The whole gallery needs some more polish to be less confusing, especially with multiple entries for variants of the same scene. Stay tuned for improvements on that front.

Thank you for your hard work, i have wish-listed the steam version to show my support. Look forward to the full release later.

Munitions Mori
so, I've been trying to replace the strings in vocabulary.rpy, but you have to define them instead of default them.
that way I could create a new rpy that overwrites the strings instead of replacing the original file. (default is saved, define is not)

since that didn't work with the old variables, I tried to run a label after_load but found you already use that in script.rpy...
there, to my dismay, I found more strings you are defaulting, including ones I'd like to replace to piss off THAT company...

I believe (strongly, but not 100%) that you can replace all default with define and it shouldn't break existing saves, but new games could use a string-replacer...
so that's what I'd request, both in vocabulary.rpy and in script.rpy...

additionally, I believe you can use something like default adroitD = "[adm] [adr]" in script.rpy (example line 115)
/edit:
if the line starts with $, it has to be treated as python, so $ adroitD = adm +" "+ adr
I'm currently undoing a lot of changes I made with that error :/

/edit:
you can also use flags to upper/lower case strings, so you don't need cog and cogc, you can simply use something like "by the [cog!c]! this [techp!l] is mad!"
in that case, cog will be capitalized, techp lowercase casecasecasecase...

I really enjoy the work that must have been put into the game.
I built my character with rapport,fortress unbarred and I am wondering if there is a value that tracks how well regarded I am,based on howI played my playthrough, I have basically done whatever is good for society and most of the time what makes my character well regarded with everyday folk, I'd imagine that would come useful in helping dealing with an angry mob one day, but I am not sure if that's within the scope of the (future) game.

So I just got to a point where I am stopping at random cities on the railway and something hit in one of the scenes. Protag stops and listens to the birds and bugs in the distance. I am a *Non-distinct copyrighted franchise* noob. Do other planets usually have birds and bugs and it's all convergent evolution, or did humans bring them to new planets?

I know most Xenos have the same builds, but I assume that is from their shared monitored evolution by space toads.

don't quote me on this, but if memory serves, it pretty much depends on what kind of planet you are and when it was first colonised.
deathworlds like fenris or catachan, their climate and fauna is too hostile for anything that hasn't evolved there (including oomies)
hiveworlds are too toxic/bare for anything to live there

but this story takes place on what I'd consider a civilised world (plenty of them around, but few stories about them), so it is possible it was terraformed and terran fauna introduced.
it could also be just a term to be used. one case I recall is from a gaunt's ghost novel talking about moths. could be they are invasive, but I somewhat doubt moths would survive void- or warptravel.

but then there's also rats and they are certainly invasive, being brought along on mass conveyors...

on the other hand, the ecclesiarchy is quite fond of doves, so it's also possible those are bred for ceremonial purposes and then spread...

on the other other hand, most worlds were colonised during the stellar exodus and records from that time are... sparse... (this is at the beginning of the age of technology, so 15k to 25k, followed by 5 millenia of age of strife and only then the imperium became a thing)

pretty much a long, winded way of saying "I dun fuckin knooow", but I don't recall it ever being specifically mentioned, except for hostile native fauna that has to be kept at bay, the examples I made and grox. everything else is pretty much a mystery (see fenrisian wolves)

Very interesting. I was just curious because I have been hooked on lore explaining cartoons and I know some Xenos are basically space snakes and I would assume they would just be convergent evolution and just a random chance. But then there is always the chance of frog fuckary I assume. I really like the setting and will start reading the books soon now that I have seen all the factions. I am a basic bitch though and have gravitated to the Ultra Marines for the aesthetics, boner for the emperor as a flawed man with a great fashion sense (Heresy I know), and primarch, and the Death Korps of Kreig. Oh and I like Orks for their shenanigans.

Be proud dev, you made another person interested in Warhammer with your game.

See that's another interesting facet. Which is why this series got me so hooked. I know in space travel for humans, it's a giant risk. One slip up and you are all going mad on the ship, but that's like being protected by... psychics... I think... on board. I wonder if the animal life or stow aways can go crazy because they aren't shielded. I guess the fauna aren't sentient so they might not see the walls talking to them or growing eye balls, but I bet a stow away would go mad, unless the whole ship is being protected, not just each person.

Again, talking out of my ass as I know very little on the setting, but just another fun thing I can think about.

da orks are da best, at least they are having fun :3
there are/were 19 primarchs (21 to be precise, but we don't talk about two of them, ever!), so you'll have to narrow it down... and if you like fashion sense (and space snakes), look into fulgrim and the emperor's children

you're unlikely to get definitive answers, there is a lot ( A LOT! ) of lore, with some things just popping up and disappearing (see daemonculaba, but be warned!) and a lot of things are just *magic*...
if you really want to dig into lore, luetin09 on the youtubes is the goat. scholar's lore and mr bones 40k are good as well. for stories, baldermort's guide to warhammer and a vox in the void would be my recommendations.
if you're into the less serious but still "technically" (somewhat) accurate side, bruva alfabusa's tts is very, VERY good (if slightly outdated).

for warptravel, you need a gellar field (or blackstone), a simple psyker won't do much...
the thing with warptravel isn't neccessarily going mad, but mutating or just being ripped apart... so a rat is just as much at risk as a human or a plant. obviously, da boyz do it rite, cause dey dun need no jelly field, dey lookin for a good krumpin'
and usually (unless it fails) the gellar field works all around the ship, like a bubble of realspace, so even stowaways are protected. thing is, the tech is old and can... flicker... and that can be enough. suddenly the walls start melting, one guard starts eating his mate and a 5 ton rat monster rampages down the hallways...

also, as much as I want to share the glory of the lore, don't give GW money... they do not deserve it.

also also, bruva alfabusa:

They are very high up there. I really like their Krork ancestry, they look so sick, I really like the Lovecraft aspects of the Old Ones, and imprinted memory aspect with the fact they can turn scraps into a drakka is so cool. Big brains on dem boyz. Just also slapping some rockets on shit and letting Gork and Mork guide your new adventures and a promise of some fun fightan is adorable.

there are/were 19 primarchs (21 to be precise, but we don't talk about two of them, ever!), so you'll have to narrow it down...

I like Guilliman, he seems like a good boy trying to win dads love. But I may change that as I read more. I know about the other two too, I was reading about them last night actually. Really wanted to learn what one can do to get the Emperor THAT mad. I know Horus got special treatment for being his favorite, but still I like to think he would hold back against... most of his sons to an extent. Really REALLY curious how one can fuck up SO bad Dad scrubs you from history. Granted Horus got scrubbed from existence, but I think scrubbing from history has a lot more vitriol to it.

obviously, da boyz do it rite, cause dey dun need no jelly field, dey lookin for a good krumpin'

Gork and Mork provide.

I will definitely check out your recommended channels too. Right now I watch the ones with little story time animations to make it more simple and digestable. Mainly I like KrakDuk. He seems nice and fun, but I am sure everything is an oversimplification. Great for getting a taste of stuff, then for things I like I check out the wiki and read more. I tried MajorKill but his stuff is a bit overkill of info.

that's one of the things you won't get an answer to they are the two cyo-chapters for each side
and technically horus has been scrubbed as well, as has most anything to do with the warp (or at least the entities therein) since even knowing about it is too dangerous for the average imperial citizen. you have to be very high up to know such things exist.

See, I did not know either of those facts. Thank you for the info. Because the lore is so dense a lot of lore and details like that get glanced over in videos. Either just missed, assumed you already know, or are thought to be expected. Like I watched a whole episode on Horus and did not know he got the scrubbed treatment too. I assumed he was actually told to everyone as a warning about chaos. I guess that means the common man just doesn't know the Emperor is hurt and didn't actually want to HAVE to use the throne and just think that was a sacrifice for them in the main game plan.

It doesnt work exactly like this.
They use something called Gellar fields, wich basically create a kindof protective psychic bubble around the ship, if the Gellar field fickles, you get horrible, poltergeist-like phenomena around the ship, if it goes down, it turns into event horizon.

so, first war of armageddon (the one we don't talk about), angron came in with a horde of demons, was eventually pushed back and afterwards the inquisition decided to de-populate the whole planet, simply for being on the same planet as chaos...
which led to the space wolves being pissed at the inquisition, which led to a bit of an escalation (the inquisition lay siege to fenris)
also there's the whole thing that the grey knights are so secret, if you see them, you are as good as dead

/edit:

In addition to defeating the threat posed by the Forces of Chaos on Armageddon, the Inquisition was there to guarantee that sensitive information regarding the existence and nature of the Archenemy, and the existence of the secret Imperial assets arraigned against it -- the Grey Knights in particular -- would not spread beyond the planet into the wider galaxy, where it could increase the chance of Chaotic corruption amongst the teeming masses of Mankind. The suppression of these truths is a basic element of the Inquisition's mandate concerning the Imperium's eternal fight against Chaos, and often involves brutal and indiscriminate purges, where Imperial citizens are liable to be executed on mere suspicion, and whole worlds subjected to the horror of the Exterminatus.
