Is it really out of nowhere tho? I got a feeling he was meant to be like that, and was only bahaving himself near the family (at first at least) because he did care about them and there was 10 years of gap between the time he last saw them and now.

Heyho everyone.

Chatgpt and I made a little cheat script that can give the player all perks at once.

Warning: This script will modify the game files irreversibly. I am not responsible for any damage this may cause to your saves!


Here is is how it works:

Any time the game wants to check which perk you have chosen it will ask "perk == "something" " or something very similar.

While something then is either "intelligence", "strength" or "mage".

This script searches through all rpy files and replaces it with True.

Meaning that "if perk == "intelligence" " becomes "if True".

Again. This will literally change the games code. Once you apply this you would have to reinstall the game to undo.

I tried to first overwrite the if statements but this just really fucked up the game. Going for the throat is the easiest way.

It should be entirely version independent and also not break the code unless the dev deviates from how they used these perks until now.


Now, obviously, I can't predict that this will never cause an issue because I don't know what the dev will do in relation to such perk checks. But so far, having played this game with URM like 3 times, I can't think of any instance where this would bork the game. I tried to cover all possible syntax comparisons. But if the dev wants to they could still trick me. In the end its just a regex replacement.


How to use:

1. place the rpy file into the /game folder.
2. Run the game and load a save to be sure.
3. Immediately close the game again.
4. Remove BOTH the rpy file and the new rpyc file.
5. Run the game again. It is now modified.


Use at your own risk! I will provide 0 tech support!!! The code is readable in plain within the file.


Python:
init python:
    import os
    import re

    def modify_game_files():
        game_dir = os.path.join(config.basedir, "game")  # Get the game directory
        pattern = re.compile(r'not\s*perk == "([^"]+)"|perk == "([^"]+)"|perk != "([^"]+)"|perk is "([^"]+)"|perk is not "([^"]+)"')  # Match all forms of comparisons

        for root, _, files in os.walk(game_dir):
            for file in files:
                if file.endswith(".rpy"):  # Only modify .rpy files
                    file_path = os.path.join(root, file)

                    with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
                        content = f.read()

                    # Replace the matched patterns with 'True'
                    new_content = pattern.sub('True', content)

                    with open(file_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
                        f.write(new_content)

    modify_game_files()  # Run on game start

Excellent points made.

One big advantage that LM has over those games you mentioned is speed: LM updates this game every 1.5 - 2 months, which is insanely fast considering the amount of content we get.

Now, that speed comes with obvious caveats, most of which have been mentioned here already: basic UX, basic SFX, sparingly-used (30fps) animations, translation errors, script errors, and whatnot. However, most of us gladly take this compromise in exchange for speed.
Thanks.
I tried to make a post which consolidates the issues I find with the game.
Hope it didn't come off as too much of a rant to Lazy Monkey lol.

While I agree LM's IC has advantage of speed over GleenXStudio and TessSadist's titles (Snowstorm, Karlsson's Gambit), I see it as a bit of tradeoff.
Snowstorm & Karlsson's Gambit, while their updates take longer to get released, each update size are humungous (while LM's IC update sizes are decent, they're not comparable to the soooooo chunky update sizes to those games).

And another thing with GleenX is, each route has gotten so large in content that each update has been the release of exclusive path; previous update was update for the Bloody Bears clan path, and this coming update is for the Dark Ravens clan path.

Makes me almost wish LM had split the release between each path with separate updates like GleenX does, instead of releasing both paths with largely overlapping content.

Oh well,... I guess at this point, it's all "what could have been" etc (shrugs).

Well, we know he is Sauron - the depictions do not lie - so he goes into venom shape and eats a bunch of rats before coming back as That elf Mentor to those Galadriel Looking girls:

What other theories do you guys have

Well .. the high beings made of light are all as old as time and they have ways to bend reality to their will, so any of the inner circle of the red tirant like MC, his ma, his sisters, possibly his teachers and his guard might know the full story and could, reașistically pick up the reigning mantle in a pintch.

While a decent proposal, I am vehemently against such development practices.

It feels horrible to have to wait "your turn" to play the game, and in the end, I would much prefer that the dev simply release a 'full' update every 6 months than get pieces of it every 2 months - I end up waiting 6 months for my path anyways, at least this way everyone eats at the same time (fair play).

Maybe LM could do another poll on Patreon about this topic some day, would be fascinating to see how the community feels about it.

However outdated it might be, we do have a walkthrough translated by a kind soul,
telling us how this game functions:
The vampire does get to drink the warrior blood,
but MC does not see or feel anything but something strange - kind of like vapire bats dring off of livestock
- the bull or the horse will not feel anything but something strange and not think anything of it.

So yes, Sona does drink from MC as a warrior, but MC is not any wiser, which makes the recap so very correct.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Queen does have somewhat different dialogues depending on the perks, yet there is no gated conten
Queen’s content doesn’t depend on a perk
Yeah, the LIs don't have any lewd content gated behind a class perk, though the additional scenes with some LIs kinda break pacing for the other paths (Mage MC being the biggest offender in regards to Elin).

I do understand the "don't want to wait for turn" sentiment for other folks.
I guess for myself given that I'm used to GleenX's and some other devs' games which have the players wait their turn to play, I am okay with it compared to others (I just occupy myself playing other games in the meantime).

With GleenX's Snowstorm, waiting for all three clans (Bloody Bears, Dark Ravens, White Wolves) routes content to all come out at the same time is just not feasible, given that would end up being somewhere between 9 months ~ 1 year of everyone waiting for an update.

Looking at it with IC's perspective though, I think both approaches are doable though (I merely suggested the rotation to make it a slight compromise between LM's speed and content released for each path, but given it's 2 routes, the overall wait time would still be shorter compared to Snowstorm).

It's a nice idea but I'm not sure it'll work in the long run, there's currently two routes. In reality however there's meant to be three from what I understand, White, Red and Green. Splitting between two is fine but three would start to get dicey, at least with current dev times. To do what your suggesting they would pretty much have to do the same thing that GleenX does, which isn't necessarily bad. Honestly there isn't a perfect answer, all of them have drawbacks.

Games great a huge improvement over the first game like genuinly shocked by the ambition and execution on display. The writing is loads better and im actually interested in the world at large. Keep up the good work and hope to see this game through.

About the Multiverse... in one of the dreams the MC sees Cass' mother kill the King. Yes, it might have been accidental, but either way, she would be executed for it. Yet, the King is still around, but somewhat different. Maybe in all timelines, that event is true and someone had to fetch a replacement King from another Multiverse world to maintain the throne, and that led to her killing herself a bit later than the scene in MC's vision.

No you can still get content with Elin, for the most part Mage path just extends a few scenes here and there. Maybe one exclusive scene? Don't think so though.
That's a relief. This game has a lot of choice, both a blessing and a curse. I wanted to take Sona but also put a child in Spring
