VN Ren'Py Kingdom of Deception [v0.14.2.2] [Hreinn Games]

[sam1545654]

Is there any romance option? If so, can I romance Neve?

You must be new here. Back in 09 they spoke at length about adding multiple romance options to a variety of paths slated for release sometime after the final release in the third quarter of 2029. For the games 20th anniversary. Kind of like a NewGame+ situation. Their idea if i remember correctly was to give you a whole new way to play the game after its Final, final release. I'm still holding out hope. God knows i would like nothing more than to see Sabia settle down to a quiet home life with Rokgrid.....

That's usually how patreon discords work

Many fans for some reason have a desire to anchor themselves into a "Community" and get very hostile.

Well, I mean, we all have the right to criticize, regardless of donor or not donor. specially if the dev is clearly being lazy, or milky. If anything, it would be wrong if we supported a game despite our critique. Buyers remorse is for suckers. (Don't know if that's the case here, that's the case in another game. I actually came here for the first time in years.)

So what's new in this game? Last I came here, there was a new orc female character (no idea why he thought that was a good idea) and a lot of petite catgirls. Anyone mind filling me in on the progress of this game, coss god knows I don't understand the changelog for the life of me, I don't even remember the names.

Edit. I just saw some of the comments. That was actually the case, wasn't it? Oh no, not this game. Someone give it to me straight, has the content of this game since 2019 been good or bad, enough or not enough? Is the cg rip updated so that I can check it out before playing the game all over again?

short version? a while back, the game lost its writer who was basically the main drive force of the project (after leaving the team, she created 2 short H games and worked on her own game with over 30 hours of gameplay. so it's safe to say she is anything but lazy). aside from the complete silence of the artist who's now in charge of KoD, the small amount of added content wasn't able to satisfy anyone, art quality has taken a sharp nose dive and many storylines are left unfinished and unexplored. personally I'm waiting for devs to declare KoD abandoned, but I guess either they still hope to get their shit together or they want to milk this project as much as they can.

That's pretty accurate. I've been supporting this game for three years.The writing isn't as good as the original writer's. The devs have added plenty of lewd content and are working on variations for some repeatable scenes. But the main plot has barely progressed at all and a couple side plots have been mostly ignored for awhile so the devs could focus on art assets for lewd scenes. The last update was almost a year ago.

 

[helllover]

If anything they would declare the abandonment of the project about a year too late

Art: Nosedive.
Game: Cryostasis. Goes live for at least less than a month, goes dead for the rest of the year.
Communication with Patrons/Players: Radio silence.
Since when: A couple of years ago.
Content: Not enough and bad enough. Heck, to think it was bad enough is an understatement.
What's new: Repeatable scenes with little-to-no context
New thread meta: "Bleeding into [insert month/year here]," "What year?" and numerous things I vaguely remember.

The 2021 update is supposed to release by April, by the way.

 

[chikipiki]

Their patreon has a new post with v12 release date. Anyone care to share?

Can you tell me the names of those two H-games?

Like, from the point of the new female orc character there's a looot of stuff for you to see. The story didn't progress too much further, scenes did, though from her to the new mini-antagonist there's quite a bit of story content too. So if you wish to have a successful fap section you will most probably get it, but the story will not satisfy your spirit and mind..!

Beware that this comment section really loves to play crybabies, so don't take everything they say as something unbiased. Or you can join them, after all that is a viable method of self-satisfaction in given circumstances, since Hreinn decided to not give anything for 9 whole months, feeding people promises and missing their own deadlines, what, twice? So you see, you can call this a funny situation.

G'day strangers!

Just thought I'd pop in and say that the release date is the seventh (I'm gonna assume September but you folks can discuss that amongst y'selves).

Happy wanking!
(And I can't help but anger some people by saying that I donate, and happily too!)

 

[EpicReee]

From "this month" to A WEEK into the next month because someone is getting their second covid shot? Bruv. Depending on where you live, you go there, wait a bit (or in my case I was the only one there lol so didn't wait at all) get the shot and go home again. How is that their reason for releasing 1 week into the next month? And if it's not about finishing touches and the update is technically ready for upload by that time, do they sit in a discord call and have to press upload at the same time or why the fuck could there be an overlap, even then it took me 30 mins (including the drive) to get the shot and be back home in the worst case he'll be gone for a couple hours so in now way, shape or form is this reasonable.

Honestly something like "Yeah if everything went smooth now it would be released on like september 3rd, but that's a bs number so we'll go with 1 week, aka on the 7th." would've been more reasonable than this.

Pls someone tell me I'm just a brainlet right now and I'm misunderstanding something here, this looks like they're desperate for new excuses.

(Edit : Also... there are still parts of the update that aren't in yet and will be patched in a bit later? HUH? How? I'm convinced they work on the game 2 hours a week at this point, holy fuck. But hey, the preview pic confirms why I'm still anticipating every update for this game.)

 

[AlienBreeder]

Maybe they've been busy or something?

Not trying t'be a dick or anything, just devils advocate.

They've been workin' on it for ages and ages chronologically, but what if it's really only a week or two of work?

Say it's midway through August, when out of the blue one of them surfs the net and jumps on their Patreon:

"Ooohhhhhh shiiiit..... I knew I had to do something but I totally spaced..."

Maybe jobs or stuff?

I dunno.

 

[EpicReee]

Technically everything is possible, fact is they don't want to tell us the truth so it's probably just lack of passion or something.

In any case, this very update was supposed to come out in April, remember? Even if they had internet outages all throughout July and August it's still a joke. And IIRC April was already a delayed date and was supposed to be ready even earlier, but I'd have to lie to say that with confidence, so imma stick with April.

Though to be honest, I'd be glad if in reality they never really work on the updates seriously, because that means that if they ever decide to start taking it serious then we'd get huge bumps in updates.

 

[Deleted member 3664266]

But they state that an update for partreons will be out like today, regardless how they stay, and then they will patch it till 7th September. Or wtf?

 

[AlienBreeder]

Haha, fair enough.

I think for me it comes down to two things:

One, they're not milking it HOLD ON! In the sense that, I choose to believe, that Hreinn as a collective are NOT laughing maniacally at this wonderful income stream, gleefully lording it over petty mortal.

And two, I fuckin' LOVE orcs!

I played Noxian Nights when it was finished with a guide, thought it was alright, but have known about / played Kingdom of Deception since the first version or so.
So long as they don't cut out my green love machines I'm not terribly bothered by anything else.

And at the end of the day I have other things in my life, plus I knocked out two exams yesterday so I'm just happy for the communication!

 

[AlienBreeder]

The next time people'll be able to play the game will be the seventh.

What I take from the update is that sometime after the seventh but before the end of September, there'll be a 0.12.X update, and that ALL patrons will receive the bonus art and such.

 

[EpicReee]

1) Yeah I'm not accusing them of milking, just laziness or incompetence.(Though I hope it's the first)

2) Eh Orcs are alright, for me it's their brutish dominance rather than their appearance. Sabia getting more submissive the longer she's there is the best part imho. Although dom Sabia is a thing, I'm not really interested in it and I also heard that it's not very different enough to warrant a playthrough on it's own.

Yeah I loved Noxian Nights, mainly because there can't be enough League porn games and NN is one of the very, very, VERY few porn games in the League universe that aren't utter garbage. And with "very few" I mean that I can't think of any other decent ones, sadly. Maybe Winds Disciple, but I don't really like the gameplay of it. All the other ones that had potential are dead.
