Mmmh, almost utter absence of any interactivity in this version, felt like it was just stripped down to the minimum to save on the number of renders done.
Wut?

This had more renders than the last 2 versions and is tied with update 4, which in the devs own words, was his biggest update..

No idea what the hell you are on about.

As the dev notes in the change-log, this release may feel a bit brief on any particular playthrough because the paths diverge, tied to the outcome of v. 0.6. So there's plenty here for those who do multiple playthroughs to explore every option, while it may seem slightly underwhelming for those of us who stick to the one path. The price you pay for having meaningful choices in the game, basically. So it goes.

So you need to do do a perfect(?) light or dark path or you'll have to accept Vanth's help this time around. Not that I mind the scene that follows but that pretty harsh. I mostly went with the choices the felt right or I liked personally at the time. Ended up fairly in the middle with I slight skew to the light side (got the light wings during the magic awakening).

Also is anyone else bothered by the dialog pic of the queen? The expression, especially the mouth, looks off imho. And the pale skin, compared to her in game renders doesn't help either.

Paying attention is not really one of Orlu's strong points... :LOL:
Yeah, and neither of you have at all addressed the point, which was that it was almost entirely uninteractive and that it felt like this was to save on rendering work. Did I say that he didn't do other renders? On reading my post back, I can't see where I said that. Pointing out that he was on massive rendering crunch for other reasons doesn't exactly seem to argue against the idea that he was economising where he didn't use the extra renders that would normally be expected, now does it?

Also, R2, if you're going to whine at me in multiple threads, try doing something half-way towards making it sound like you're actually right in at least one of them.

What I was getting at, yes. (Oh, the dev actually said it himself? I guess R2 should go tell him that he's not paying enough attention to his story...)

Sadly, it's a natural thing with a diverging story line, and we do seem to have reached the point where it's perceptible here. Personally, I hope that some balance can be struck between time required and breadth of output which allows them to keep the level of choice/interactivity up in future, but I realise that that will be a tricky thing to achieve. In terms of story branching and so on, can be minimised by reconverging etc to maximise freedom without maximising scenes to write, but I'm not sure how much the rendering burden can be mitigated. Ofc, get increasing competition between need to progress plot, need to fill out branches, and all the rest...

Still, game is good, dev seems competent and of good mentality, so I'm not prophesying doom yet.

Go on keep telling us on how you didn't said what you actually said. :cautious:

It is not my fault if you have the habit of making absurd claims in multiple threads without actually paying attention to the games you are supposedly playing. Hell you didn't even bothered to read the changelog before starting to imply the developer was cutting corners on the renders numbers. :rolleyes:

What I said that I said is what I said - that it felt like the dev had very largely omitted interactivity and that it felt like this had been stripped down to save on the rendering it would have required. Your own quotation of me shows that I had said what I was saying that I had said. I stand by the claim, and apparently the dev stated the same thing (although more mildly) himself.

I'm not entirely sure why you have this issue, but I'd appreciate it if you'd at least start trying to show some kind of an issue with my posts that you snark at - something maybe a little more developed than 'haha lern 2 red'. Responding to points is difficult when the points are so thin you can't see exactly where they are.

Got a sneaky feeling Catha is playing games with ole Queeny and Vanth.

She knows what they are up to that much is clear and after a few updates ago it's painfuly obvious Catha is a lot more powerful that either of them gave her credit for, even awakening a halfbreeds magic that hasn't been done before.

Also seems like she's mentoring Deva on the quiet. Drops a few hints about getting her magic back.

Thalna and Catha's baby is going to a badass.
