Ren'Py King's Revolt [v0.1.1] [ButtLikeBaoBuns]

[Ka1tzer]

You are funny


Narrative tool or not, when something gets lambasted pretty universally, maybe, just maybe, it was not the right narrative tool for the job....?

Ever heard the saying "The customer is always right"? That's only one half of it, tho. The full quote is "The customer is always right in matters of taste." IF you aim your game at a specific demographic, you should tailor the game according to their taste. You can find virgins disgusting and love whores with a 1000 cock stare. If you make a game for Harem fans, you need to cater to them because they have the money you want. Either you provide them with a product they want or search for another job.

Game Journos and many AAA publishers learn that right now the hard way. HBO is learning that right now and Neil Cuckmann is relearning it again with The Last of Us 2.

I'm by no means a writer, but I could convey the exact same information to the player without triggering anything like this. It is shockingly easy to do it too.
To be honest, every time something like this happens to a new dev, I am baffled. I can't wrap my head around how new devs do it. I cant even begin to imagine how you can fuck up something, that's clear as day to me, so bad.

I don't disagree with you at all. The point is that ppl are being triggered by characters that are in no way related to the MC: not in the present, past or future. It's like a vegan being triggered over people eating meat simply on account that meat-eating people exist.

I'm not a fan of this kind of stuff either, mind you, but the reaction some ppl are showing is WAY out of proportion.

The stuff you quoted me earlier about the voyeur thing is missing one critical piece of info that I didn't explicitly say in the excerpts you used - the characters that appear to set the narrative tone of the story are not, in anyway, related to the MC. And will never be. It's very different from a character like "Fairy" from Desert Stalker. In fact, there are many things I don't appreciate about that game, but I'm mentioning it because there kind of is some overlap in the tone of Desert Stalker and King's Revolt.

Even though it's a harem game, will we, the players, continue to lose sex scenes with the girls in future updates? Will we have to choose between them like what happened in the first update with Aiko and Myu?

 

[luismatias]

the only criticism i have about this game is that i wish aiko was a main girl.

 

[Lucid Lancer]

What are the future tags dev? And are any of them going to be just skippable or can they be avoidable?

 

[Juerhullycin]

characters that appear to set the narrative tone

And people have a problem with the narrative tone, see the problem yet?

All the main girls can be in a harem. We have to choose between the side girls.

so it's a partial harem and we'll keep missing sex scenes with the girls, it doesn't seem like a good harem game to me.
anyway thanks for answering my question and good luck to the developer.

As good as it is for a first release, the game is a hot coding mess. I haven't progressed enough yet to completely judge but at the point where I'm at in the playthrough, I got frustrated a lot. You got the free roam section bugs with the vending machines and the arrows not showing along with the scene completely freezing at some points that you have to rollback and go back again for it to fix. Sometimes a reboot of the game was necessary. Add to that, the kissing scene with Aiko not forking into the right path when in the office, which means the variables are incorrectly swapped, in this case "e12ndscenario2". I'm pretty sure it wasn't even assigned the value 'true' when choosing to kiss Aiko on the bench and was kept with the default 'false'. I thought something was bound to go wrong when URM didn't detect a path on the choices menu there. I don't remember the technical explanation for this but if I'd guess, I'd say it's probably because the script didn't use call label but used call screen? something about that call screen thingy messes up paths and mods/tools that use the GUI of the game. I'm not even sure it has any correlation to the variable not being assigned a value, this is just a wild guess but the point still stands, I still got the wrong scene in the workday thereafter. There are also some lines of dialogues that have the wrong speakers assigned like in the Miyu sex scene after prison when MC says he wants to spoil her.
But anyway keep up the good work and hopefully this'll be fixed in v1.1.
EDIT: The URM path detection also didn't work during the Miyu scene. I'm pretty sure the variable that was supposed to be assigned is messed up too. I'm guessing that would be 'Miyusex1'?

 

[Toukebri]

Oh man, you mean to tell me Aiko and Miyu aren't main girls and can't be part of the harem? That flipping sucks, especially since they seemed to catch feelings for MC and he did too. Pretty strange for side girls to be romantically involved with the MC of a game and not just treat him like a fucktoy. This honestly feels like a waste of potential and a conflict of narratives. You'd either have a side girl as a proper LI and integrate her more into the story or have her as a friend with benefits and just have some sex scenes with her and there. I don't even know if any of these choices would work in the story since the MC's leaving the country and in turn leaving Miyu and Aiko. It would've been better if we got the choice to have them both instead of choosing. It's as unfair as Miyu having one more mini sex scene than Aiko. It's your creative vision in the end and your own game, dev. These are just suggestions that I honestly hope you would take into consideration but I could have the wrong idea about Miyu and Aiko, so if you think that's the case maybe elaborate on their future role in the story and why you had us choose between them?

? Half the side girls can be part of the harem. That half will be depending on the rebel or the interrogator side. Well the dev improving the 1st release again. So maybe that can changed who knows

 

[ryuk@1]

let's see how good it turns out

 

[RandomHomie333]

Note to dev: You cant make everybody happy and when you try to do that, chances are, you make nobody happy. Just realize that some of these people that criticize you would go into a burger joint, and complain to the cooks/chefs that there's no pizza on the menu... Make the story and game that you envision and if its good, you will grow a loyal audience that is already looking to eat what you're cooking up, instead of you having to convince people to like what you do. Godspeed.

 

[FalconLover420]

It was a nice game to play first time around, I would suggest to improve coding though and polish the game a bit more in the writing department and we should be good. Would also suggest to the Dev about taking suggestions from users on here with a grain of salt and make the game with your vision. You are the storyteller and we are the audience

PS: Don't please everyone and definitely don't bend over to users

 

[Juerhullycin]

PS: Don't please everyone and definitely don't bend over to users

Yeah, I am of the opinion that Dev shouldn't listen to you, too

 

[Reniere]

After reading 3 pages back. seeing that some things will be changed and dev: saying sorry for what i don't know
I had wished that one of his post was about removing the alignment section of the game but i saw thing about it.

Guess thats one of the core gameplay mechanics of the game.

Well Good Luck in your journey

no news on updates?

 

[wiseold6996]

no news on updates?

Game was on hold because of real life stuff, it resumed a week ago now 2 days break as dev is going for graduation degree day to city, revamp will be releasing soon and soon means yes this month and most probably in few days

 

[ButtLikeBaoBuns]

Hey guys, sorry for the late replies, and sorry if i did not manage to reply some of the comments. I appreciate the attention, support for my game.

As I mentioned, I am making changes and removing sensitive contents and mistakes.

I delayed my update due to my mother's surgery and my new full time job, and some recent minor events that I rarely manage to touch my desktop.

I will do my best to release the revamp ASAP this month. Thanks for the support all the way. Love yall legends.

 

[gokaiger81]

Just found this game and really enjoyed the first release, but can anyone tell me if this game is dead/ abandoned?
Last reply on this thread is nearly two months ago, and the pateron also seems to be in a similar spot. Would honestly be a shame if the game is unfinished.

 

[katabasi]

abandoned?
