VN Unity Legacy of Hestia [R35] [Winterfire]

[vilewe7570]

I looked up some compression techniques for this and here is what I found.

Started off with

Size: 4242242007 bytes (4045 MiB)
CRC32: 9008F1CB
3.95 GB

Tried UltraFast adult games compressor v2.2 however it deflated the game to 10GB so it didn't work out all that well. Even the final 3 files it generated were larger than what I started with so I just scrapped that.

Was going to try How to do Repacking (Compression) of Unity Games but when downloading it got flagged as virus infected so didn't bother.

There are a few

Looked up a bit about FitGirl, a repacker, recommending a tool called FreeArc.

I wouldn't bother using 7Zip or Winrar, as that compression comes with the cost of having a long time to extract the files, not really worth it.

Fitgirl seems like the best/only option.

I do not know what they are talking about, but Unity doesn't care about the format you use... I could be using a webp image of 200kb or a psd file of 1gb, but both would build an image depending on the compression setting I use (High quality, in my case, which is 2mb for 1080p).

Could be my pc is fast but the difference between the regular zip and really compressed zip was 1 to 4 minute extraction time. For some that's definitely worth saving an extra GB from the download time and bandwidth.

Sounds like it's taking the format and converting it to something else which wouldn't be it utilizing the format. Weird. This plugin sounds like it gets inserted into the

which would utilize the webp standard for the output.

Anyways unless I learn Unity I think I've had my fun with this. Now to wait for more lewds and keep a pure save on the side for harem fun times later on.

+10 where?
In strength, assuming you are slaying monsters of your same level, that's 10 monsters. Less, if you ate at the Hostess of Fertility and increased the excelia's modifier.

The maps were an one time thing to teach new players to interact with events, and gain something out of it since doing four floors in a row at the beginning could be overwhelming. After that, it is up to you to explore the floors.

Goliath which had me at half the health of the other party and kicked my ass. Monsters beforehand were getting swatted down like flies. Health potions were a joke as I took more damage then what I could heal for, other party didn't want to use potions on me, and if Bell dies it's game over no matter how much health the other guys have. Cheat Engine got me through it in the end.

That sucks as instantaneous isn't so fast after the maps open up with a whole lot of nothing in between. Open field is a painful crawl. Big empty rooms that open up to bigger emptier rooms. Heard banter about shortcuts and I was like I would pay to see that on the map but I'll be damned if I'm going back through all the old floors just to check.

Yeah, Goliath is supposed to be quite powerful.
Easy trick to get through that fight without cheating is to skip the first turn, and let the aggro go towards Ryuu or Asfi, as they are both higher level than you. Once they have the aggro, you can safely attack again.

In the future there'll be a few more ways to handle bosses, such as flashbangs and other spells.

Do you expect an event on each step you take?

Each tile is placed manually, it is not that big of a deal. It is not like I used procedural generation and tried to make those floors up to scale x).
There are quite many events on each floor already, without counting those added by quests, but you can simply traverse them to reach the stairs, the game doesn't force you to explore them fully.

 

[KaitoDaemon]

What floor do you find Lili on after she leaves floor 10 during the quest "Reasons For Betrayal"? I tried leaving the dungeon just to see what happens and was surprised it let me during a quest.

same problem with the goliath and this does NOT work (R21). even when not attacking with bell for several turns the aggro will not shift away from him. i also had zero difficulty-problems up until that point but it was never fun. health potions are almost as useless as your other party members and the random battle encounter rate is TOO DAMN HIGH.

i have to say, if i would have known how broken this gameplay is i would have chosen the story mode.

If you deal too much damage, and in those turns Asfi and Ryuu won't deal more, then the aggro stays on Bell. That's normal.
Just keep your damage lower than them.

i also had zero difficulty-problems

You can try hard mode, otherwise this game is not really meant to be challenging outside of boss battles (Silverback, Minotaur, Goliath, Aisha, ...)

health potions are almost as useless as your other party members and the random battle encounter rate is TOO DAMN HIGH.

Health potions are not a free ticket to victory up to that point, they are more items you use after a battle to heal back up instead of visiting the hosptail.
Party members are controlled by you, and Welf's / Mikoto's damage formula has been overhauled on R22, I still have to improve Liliruca's though.
The encounter rate can be altered by items (Morbul to zero the chance, Monster Lure to increase it almost to 100).

i have to say, if i would have known how broken this gameplay is i would have chosen the story mode.

It is not broken, that is how it is meant to work.
Even someone who watches the anime only should know that the encounters spike up once you reach the mid floors, if you go there without purchasing the necessary items, you have only yourself to blame.

you should attack with magic first it makes less dmg as melee
i died once or twice there but after i used magic first then it was (almost) no problem

Hardly anyone playing a power fantasy is going to naturally try using the girls as meat shields.

Don't think the complaint was it's not hard enough... More like that point hits the player like a brick wall.

Now chugging health potions like your life depends on it is a strategy many would consider using.

The plan looks good on paper, but it may not work. Horny people are not always the best strategist.

That was the plan during the dialogue, at that point of the story, they are stronger than you.
I didn't know about the magic thing, but in future there'll be other ways to handle that situation (such as the flashbang).

This is more of a game with adult elements than an adult game mindlessly focusing on porn
It is not like you need to walk around a city, there are only so many locations you can quickly visit, and in most games with RNG encounters (such as pokemon) there are ways to handle them.

Quite powerful but the curve goes from damn easy to slap them bitches over there just don't hurt me please Have the girls aggro or ahegao more to keep fans happy. Healing magic that scales gives a reason to spam magic. Support spells.

I expect to be trippin over em titties everywhere I go instead theres mobs, mobs everywhere. Items are great but they are not a free pass from balancing. Porn, romance, kawaii, and tedious battles? One of these things is not like the other. So riddle me this, I don't have to explore if I know where the exit is? Without a map how do I know the most efficient path to the exit? Either I have to explore to find the exit, find a map, or pay someone to map it for me aka walkthrough.

There is story mode but it locks out content and its less to bitch about but at this point it's a sunk cost fallacy. I'll have fun bitching all the way till I see more titties

It is the same way in the source material, Bell is op but some encounters are simply too overlevelled for him at that point of the story. They're few, but they exist. With the ultimate boss of this project being Aisha (lower level than Goliath ofc, but you are in a 1v1 and she has skills). Hyakinthos will also have some skills, making his fight a little tougher as well.
Some monsters will have spells (such as the infant dragon) making the standard encounters also a little tougher, but nothing too extreme.

In short, the whole dungeon crawling serves as a preparation for those few boss fights, the rest (such as Silverback) do not even display a Game Over and let you retry with higher stats (gained from the combat), so it also serves as a preparation of what to expect in the game.

There will be no healing magic in this game, aside from Liliruca's AI healing you when your HP gets extremely low, but if you go for the not-ains route, you will unlock a magic shop where you will be able to purchase spells that require chanting. Some of them will have a healing effect, but being chanting spells, they will be a little tricky to use.
Most realiable way to heal is Elixir, but that is unlocked way past the Goliath.

Either I have to explore to find the exit, find a map, or pay someone to map it for me aka walkthrough.

This is not a porn game, but a game with adult elements, without counting nudity, this game has 40 hentai scenes on 140 scenes. This is almost 30%, but split in different routes. In a porn game, the great majority would be hentai scenes, but this is not what I am trying to make.

You have to explore to find the entrance to the next floor, but the exit is always known.
You can download the Walkthrough or go a few pages back to see some map screenshots if you do not want to explore, but it is not a big deal since maps are fairly small so with a morbul or two, you can easily get a 100% map.

On R22, the minimap was also improved (alongside the companions' damage, except Lili), so if you are close to an event or a quest, you will know. This is going to make exploring even easier.

There is story mode but it locks out content and its less to bitch about but at this point it's a sunk cost fallacy. I'll have fun bitching all the way till I see more titties

It lacks some content, but not as much as you may think.
Hestia, Eina, Artemis, Haruhime, Liliruca (except for 1 scene), and some misc ones are fully playable in the Story Mode. You will only miss 1 CG (sfw) which is inviting them over to dinner.

Buying healing magic would be sweet as it's a good way to level magic

Lulune was a cute info-broker it's too bad she doesn't sell more maps. It would have set up interesting story arcs and everything...

Someone has a more recent gallery save file? The one in the link is about six months ago.

You can disable music at anytime from settings, and there is no need for lines: white tile = walkable, black tile = not walkable
