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

[desmosome]

Damnit I don't know what's happening with my save. No new quest is happening. How do you start this yiva quest?

Edit: Ok nvm, gotta download the patch a few pages back.

 

[jenterscape]

Didn't know this game was still being updated - I thought they discontinued this game.

 

[Yukariin]

according to what's on discord, the three variants of the shaman scene are all that are in this 0.13pt1 release

holy shit, almost a year for just this.
this project is about as good as abandoned.

 

[desmosome]

Ok, I thought Yiva quest would be some lesbian Yiva thing, but if it's orcs dominating her and Sabia, I'm fine with that.

That said, the artist is being lazy as fuck compared to what we had before. Every single scene except the water ritual and maybe the standing blowjob is using the low quality CGs that are just recycled over and over. I'm pretty sure these low quality CGs were supposed to be for repeatable scenes like the tent stuff according to the dev? They are really abusing these recycled assets.

I wouldn't even mind having lots of scenes because of time saved when using the low quality CGs. But that is a moot point when the update took close to a year. We have about 2 proper base CGs in this time with all other scenes using assets that existed already. Just look at how sad the Gallery is when you scroll down to the newer stuff. 90% of it is just the low quality CGs. And these updates are taking 10 times longer than before. This is what you call development hell at best and dishonest milking at worst.

I hate to be that guy but why are they releasing the second part of the update in a few days why not all at once?

 

[hp_surfer]

I had such high hopes for this game once.

2018 was a good year

Because its not ready. They had several patreon updates where the update was "coming this month," then that changed to "oh we decided to add a third quest and the cg for it is really big and complex so its taking a while." You might think that this means that 2/3 quests are done and ready to go, but this episodic release thing of theirs runs contrary to that. They've probably been sitting on their asses twiddling their thumbs for the past 9 months. If there was ever any doubt as to the fact that Hreinn outright lies to its supporters I don't think their can be any doubt now. A 2 quest update was supposedly ready in January, and now it took them three weeks to implement one quest since their update post at the end of May.

G'day stranger!

They're releasing things in an episodic fashion in an effort to reduce hemorrhaging of new content.

Regardless of whether it works or not, I've never been too crash hot on episodic releases for a number of reasons, so even though I tried the Yvla 13.0 as soon as I could, I'll be waiting for the entire release before playing again, because otherwise to me, each release will (seem to) have just one new thing.

Alright, then. Let's see if they stick with this plan.

Thanks for the info. Appreciated it.

What new their only one changelog? no new sex scene with Sabia? stilling waiting on that triple anal with orc or minotaur

The writing in this last patch is easily, by far, the worst I've seen in anything these guys have ever put forth. Either I need to replay the game and refresh my memory to how poor the writing really was or they hired someone new to... write... some last second drivel to act as a placeholder for actual scenes. That or the writer is recovering from a stroke. If that's the case, I wish him/her/they well.

"Sabia could see the look of shock flash on Ylva's face. But only for an instant..." Dafuq? Shock flash? Tell me they didn't outsource this to someone in a land far, far away.

"I have studied exensively, and am well versed in all spring-lore." Uh, okay? Everyone appears to be at least thirty IQ points lower than last the last patch. Maybe it's just me? Am I going crazy? Where the hell am I?

Or how about immediately after Ornshakar explicitly implies they will be both raped while trying to dispel the wards, Sabia quips:
"Honestly, it feels like a letter of the law thing to me"

"Oh no. Oh no! That was not something that Sabia wished Yyla has said."

"Every word seemed to promise reribution and punishment from Ornshakaer and his orcs laater..."

Later, while Sabia is on her back being raped in her tent:

"It really has been punishment. Was being punishment..." What? What is this supposed to mean? Who is saying this? I mean it's supposed to be Sabia thinking to herself about being raped but it sounds like google translate gone bad. Did anyone proof-read this a single time?

Or how about Yyla stroking out as she and Sabia waltz on down to the ritual:

"Just there. I'll try to remember this time. At any rate! The ritual to dispel the wards."
Someone set us up the bomb. Truly a watershed moment, I stand in awe of this patch. I haven't managed to actually get to the scene yet, but hopefully it keeps the LOLWTFBBQ coming!

 

[Deleted member 4418564]

This game still going? Is it worth it still or is it still...controversial?

It's borderline abandoned at this point.
In terms of worth, well, there's still some cool art in it.
But I wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking to come out of this project unless things change in a major way.

Guys, how much I didn’t try, I couldn’t unlock the gallery, can someone throw off the save or maybe a folder with a game with an open gallery?

(Sure as shit never thought I'd post here as much as I am.)

A look of x emotion flashing across someone's face isn't poor writing, I don't think - a common phrase from what I've read.

The letter of the law thing is when you're on the Sabia-Ornshakar path, assisting Yvla because she trusts Sabia, while Sabia is trying to back up Ornshakar so she doesn't fall pregnant too soon.

For that sequence Ornshakar is trying to unbalance her (the whole 'power dynamic' thing really gets me going).

*Flick through the archived images

So when Sabia says that it's unguardedly, thinking out loud, as it supports Yvla's position - I have to say my favourite thing about this update is (only having played the sub + Ornshakar path) how Yvla keeps getting Sabia into shit: 'Bah, even for a human, she's stronger / smarter / whatever than you doggish orcs', queue Sabia getting railed by the boys.

Or this:

That's like saying you can't criticise a movie if you didn't buy the ticket. This is a forum , it's meant to be used to voice our opinion .

well, he is not wrong, the author have no reason to listen to anyone, even their own patreons, as long as the money keep coming, only their patreons can really do something, but funny enough, is not complaining, the only way to see some change at this point is to stop supporting them, if the author see the money going down every month that is when they will do something, although at this point they most likely just drop the project, wich would be better, cause at least the milking will stop, by the end there is something that have allways been true "speak with ur wallet" now, nobody stop u from making a critic, but is not worth it. The game did have a lot of potential,but now even the CG´s quality is going down.

Because for them a few days mean a few months at best.

well well well look who finally decided to make an update

 

[nyqz]

Cool.... does anyone care about Yiva?

I actually like Ylva as a character, and thought she brought some variety to the cast back when the game was actually interested in having a story. Since the writing has completely refocused on porn she feels a bit extra and out of place though, and I'm not really interested in Ylva h scenes compared to the other girls.
