VN Ren'Py Imperial Chronicles [v1.0] [Lazy Monkey]

[MoreStrange]

Eh, it's really important to be clear what one means with render quality:

• There's the quality of the renders as the visual art component of the game - everything including art direction, lighting direction, staging, the content of the renders etc. Which is good, yeah, at least to me (beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all).
• And then there's the technical quality of the renders - and even on a 1080p monitor there's quite a bit of obvious noise, occasional lighting errors (probably due to compositing instead of re-rendering the whole scene), etc. Not because LM is bad at it, but because avoiding those would require either a lot more time, more and better hardware, or both. They're definitely functional and ok considering the speed and other constraints (and definitely preferable over "better" renders in updates that took 4 times as long), but calling the technical rendering quality good... would be stretching it a biiit to far .

Funny story – I came this close to narrowly miss Imperial Chronicles because of the mediocre rendering in its preview screenshots , until a friend's rave review convinced me not to miss this true gem

Again I think It's more of an opinion thing. I disagree with there being a gray area. They're either good enough or subpar. Quality renders =/= amazing renders. Quality renders= decent renders

Fair point ,everyone has their own metrics

Agreed. LM is "only" rendering in 1080p, but they are still very good. Especially considering the timeline in which he makes them. Obviously, a game like Summer's Gone will have prettier renders, but they also take 2 years to materialize - fuck that.

They be campin' like this in forum(s) for 30 min updates with 2 year intervals (highly questionable)

90% render will complete today right ?

Looking at this picture, I feel like we are definitely going to see something happening with Queen in 1.0 Update.

I fully expect them to both remain in their positions, but MC's left wrist will bend the other way, and his hand slides into her skirt's slit.

Mom will be talking about something semi-serious, and MC will be all 'Mmhmm...' and then cop a feel or two.

Yeah probably not a full fledged sex scene with the Queen but might be a BJ scene with her.

Should you go with Callahan or Isis in the Red path?

 

[Gicoo]

Should you go with Callahan or Isis in the Red path?

I don't recall that choice leading to exclusive scenes, so currently it shouldn't matter.

 

[DontBeAfraidKid]

Should you go with Callahan or Isis in the Red path?

doesn't really matter I guess but I would just go with Isis since she's the wife but try the Cass path tho it's the best in my opinion.

Isis

 

[burbero]

Isis

Isis is a coup plotter.

 

[storm1051787]

Isis is a coup plotter.

Literally nothing sayng that ther than a baseless accuastion from you're daughter. Who is only says that because she goes outside a lot. There's no benifit Isis could have from starting a coup.

 

[bfc233]

You know, in regards to the meta plot I frankly just want to piss off Myrta and the Red Emperor.

Maybe they'll kiss and make up if I become enough of a shared point of resentment.

What's the point of a political marriage if there isn't a 0.1% chance of you dying a quick death if caught lacking

Regarding this issue, I was expecting an immediate confrontation between the North and the South... But they simply accepted the rejection and went home...
Basically, so far, there has been no difference between the choices other than the consummation videos...

Man I am eagerly waiting for the 1.0 Update, need to wait a week or 2 more before we can get hands on the update and looking forward to Priscilla scene especially.

I can't wait for Priscilla scenes too
Tbh I was waiting for her scene while we're traveling to the west, since we already bring her there before the rebellion happened

Btw, is there any possibility in the story later to do something with Arcadia or Ludwig's daughter?? Since we saw them at the ball event when giving ring
