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

[souldead341]

Do you know why the artwork of the game changed completely. Honestly I prefer the old version of Sabia.

If you mean the repeatable scene's art, the claim for at least some of the recent repeatable scenes quality was to be "lower quality, but quickly produced assets to speed development". That may not be the exact phrase used at the time, but it's the gist of it.

If you mean the changes to the outfits, I agree that (especially the leather armor) are a massive step down in immersion for me. The old leather armor seemed realistic in that the orc outfit seller outright says they don't have armor for females. So it's old look really did fit both the Conan / bikini barbarian ascetic and having to cobble something workable from what was available. The new leather armor is just an obvious fetish outfit that makes no sense for the orcs to have to sell to Sabia.

I like the new leather armor better. I was never impressed with the dumb skimpy bikini armors in erotica and video games.

Seem to be stuck, talked to everyone and all she asks if they are going to attend her feast, not sure how to start that and on the map there's an arrow for hunt for the white hind, that doesn't do much either

May I ask how are those scenes "repeatable" ?
I'm talking about the scenes from the prison break quest

What's the difference between this update and the last one? Doesn't seem to me that they added anything

I had no idea which specific scenes you were asking about since your earlier post just mentioned a change in art.

I think you're meaning the scenes with the orcs you break out when they're staying in Sabia's tent. Those are the art pieces they made for use in repeatable scenes. There's only some of them that are used in repeatable scenes currently, at the end of the current tent story from the most recent update. They're planning to use all those art assets for various repeatable scenes in later updates.

Preparations for the great feast:

- Catch the white hind [200 stamina required] (you will need an energy potion to finish it)
- Purchase food, drinks and furnishings for your feast tent
- (optional) Buy a fancier tent from Vehlis
- (optional) Talk to Elmy about crafting a special liquor
- Invite people

Thanks, I have enough energy but clicking on the white hind on the man map keeps saying the same thing over and over again but not accomplishing anything
edit: clicking on it a bunch of times seemed to do the trick, I bought everything the npcs sold but do I have to buy the actual tent? I don't think I seen anything like that while talking to everyone in town, still not sure how to proceed

Honestly I'm almost convinced that there was some mistake in the file upload, either here or by hreinn. They say there was a big content update concerning a quest with new scenes, but I can't find that in game or any new locked gallery images.

No, you don't need to buy a tent. But you can optionally buy the better tent from Vehlis to gain more favor from the chosen captain.

Once you've made all the preparations go speak to your captain again.

Supposedly they replaced some art assets and fixed a bug or two.

vehlis only gives me 3 options that I clicked on a bunch of times and nothing about buying anything

I don't remember the exact prerequisites but you need to have good enough relation with Vehlis. She'll offer you the tent and tell you to go buy it from her servant.

so if they are something that they plan to use that extensively, why the drop in quality if you're going to use it so much ?

 

[yawyeetah]

The new repeatable scenes were meh at best

Yeah, that's one of the many criticisms / complaints about the development. I personally get it if it was meant as repeatable for un-named random characters, since they obviously don't matter in terms of consistency. But the main character should at least be consistent in her scenes.

i was sad when the update took a long time, but i am kinda happy that they are emphasizing on speedy updates now, good job.

 

[Ross_69]

Play any game made by Sierra to find out.
They're all the same after all.

They aren't the same at all.

Crimson Gray is about relationship with yandere, Ouroboros has you escaping a time loop where you are somewhat in-game in game, Don't Save A Princess is a Mario parody, and Last Sovereign is an epic from-zero-to-demon-lord saga with lots of politics and plots.

The only common theme are elements subverting the expectations, and that isn't even the main point in most of these.

Sorry to ask this, but does anyone have a full save? I was unlucky to find most of my old backup saves are also corrupted. I don't really care about what orc Sabia is wooing or what alignment she's at.

Save is attached. It's solo Sabia dom route (not that it matters since most will just use it for the gallery). I had posted it a few pages back but have a feeling people will be asking for it again... maybe someone can add it to the front page?
