VN Ren'Py Imperium Bureaucracy Hero [v0.2.6] [Munitions Mori]

I don't know if it's the universe that I'm not a fan of, or the I guess intentional propaganda presentation of it all? I see that it's supposed to be anti-totalitarianism propaganda or something. These characters aren't really any poorer than say characters from any medieval peasant high fantasy story but the presentation makes them ostentatiously wretched.

Yeah 40k is a parody of totalitarianism so it is anti-totalitarian. As for medieval peasants, you are right there, they aren't any poorer. But that oversimplifies things in that medieval peasants did not need to have a lot because you did not need to spend or even did not have anything to spend money on. They also did not need to work as much to stay the same level of wealth. Unlike in 40k wherein they literally (not even figuratively) lose parts of themselves just to remain poor. So yeah they are ostentatiously wretched.

that's exactly what 40k is though. it's not for everyone.

the term grimdark was popularized by 40k's tagline "In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war." it refers to a subgenre of fiction with a tone, style, or setting that is particularly dystopian, amoral, and violent. very, very few fictional universes approach 40k in the shit scale for the average citizen. badly written 40k even ends up getting called grimderp wherein the suffering is toned up to 11 for edginess’s sake or is just plain stupid like "millions and billions of guardsmen dying per SECOND". this game however is just the correct amount of grimdark which is why most of the 40k fans here like it. this isn't even the WORST example of an imperial world.

i would say its decent by imperial world standards

like there is one election and in game and everyone and there grandpa is manipulating voting. like opposition is basically bought by enemy faction i do think it also share some problems with democracy.

The quest with Leparla could be improved:
At the end of the conversation with her, after declining her initial offer, the auditor should be able to change his mind and get Treaumont the second position.

I see this game has an AI CG tag now. Haven't played the last few updates, is this an actual thing in the game? Whiel I'm generally skeptical of AI CG the art in this game is pretty much the only thing keeping it from being up there with BADiK/Carnations/Eternum/CoBD in terms of quality.

95% of scenes are made by hand and then are fed to ai to make it more beautiful. its also optional you get option to turn it off and you will get no ai cg for 95% scenes.
