VN Ren'Py Lilith Rising [v1.0.3ns] [Jubei]

The lost heir vibes

 

[The Rogue Trader]

Tainted is a fantasy adult Visual Novel (VN) where you play a prince that has his life turned upside down when a demon worshiping cult takes over his land, forcing him out of his castle to a life of exile.

I'll be damned if that didn't turn out to be a seriously common plot for fantasy AVNs lately.
Well, back to my task to find an artist that's both half as skilled as Jubei and willing to produce some renders instead of just excuses.

 

[dolfe67]

Dev sure knows how to sell their game. Will see if it meets expectations.

 

[Old Man Al]

Overall a good start, nice renders, music is a bit boring, but ok, english is good, conversations feel real, even if a bit short.

BUT

Don't give me choices if they change nothing or nearly nothing.
Don't give me quests if they are auto-solved anyway.

 

[Kadajko]

Not gonna lie, not a fan of MC getting raped, atleast let me bash Jezzabells head in after she lets me go.

 

[Canto Forte]

This is the life of Harry lately ... lost his prince shtick, his pa got the throne,
his brother got the 1st in line heirs and his babe made him this separation movie.

What is a former prince to be left out there to do rather than fight the Jezebel in his head?

"good luck out there, be carful, i mean it!" just before Gwen has her swordfight.... (carful = careful)

Bit weird to see 2 totally different sword style users in the ring, Gwen's style is about a light sword (fence) that is based on fast cutting and striking from distance while using evasion and swiftness to not get hit, the knight with his (broad)sword is armored (around 30-35 kg armor) so his style is getting as much impact with his strikes to still inflict hurt on armored opponents.
Missing the shield on him too..... sword and board style ... But okay, it's clearly fantasy so you can get away with some...

Kinda missed talking to the king after the tournament, of course the others are more interesting, but he's your father and the king so why ignore him?
Also got the impression Jezzebel was scheming, so was kinda surprised she saved MC, didn't like the forced sex with her btw, so far she didn't give me any reason to be interested in her, mostly she gave me the feeling i should watch out for her and she eating grapes and ignoring MC didn't give me any better vibes tbh lol. Still not convinced she is one of the good guys b.t.w.
The inner voice is another thing i'm not really sold on yet... so far i only think it's an annoying invasive factor, but i count on getting more insight on the voice and that weird dream later in the story i guess...

But overall there's potential enough to be an interesting fantasy game, good looking characters, interesting story...
Will follow this and good luck!

At first I thought the lady with the grapes had a mustache.

Agreed. It's a good start. Nice graphics, moderately good animation, music and entertainment value. Story is a little generic but, hey, there are only so many stories to tell and the proof is in the telling. That said; I'm hoping the storytelling improves. It's not terrible but hopefully will gain some polish with time. I agree with the critique on choices and "faux sandbox". I don't like sandbox anyway so, please don't simulate it on my account.

Overall, I think this is worth following for now.

 

[Canto Forte]

This lady dragon will spare no effort to swoop in and save you. Accept her gracious gift.

Also got the impression Jezzebel was scheming, so was kinda surprised she saved MC

Once she saved you, try and guess who should sate her lust? Can ya? Will ya?

The only thing I want to do is put her skull through a wall. No means no.

 

[Een Vieze Vent]

Jubei < if this is the dev lol, make sure to hire some random EvilModder to make a patch that you totally know nothing of for the sister relationship, cucktreon doesnt like wincest.

Would be nice to a see a medieval-ish VN with wincest for once, something most of the others lack.

 

[punisher2099]

Why do devs do the "and more" shit in the genre tab? Why can't they just tell us? Let make it easier for you will there be a harem path? Will there be ntr/sharing?

 

[Canto Forte]

Look at this with some lee way, shall we? Even R.R. Martin, despite that he wrote the books and he still does
brain storming with the producers of the thrones series to bring them out into the small screen for everyone to compare their immaginations to the ideas his own immagination brought forth this year or the next.

 

[Joubei]

What outfit is the archer using in Pic 4 ?

Tara outfit

 

[Joubei]

A promising start, with a few typos - "hacking through the vagitation" sounds a lot dirtier than it probably is.

Fixed - thanks for this, no idea how it slipped through the cracks.

 

[HardcoreLarry]

Seems promising, Good luck!

 

[Joubei]

Well, I guess we'll have to see if the dev shows up at f95 and can explain what the "and more" is because after reading the dev notes I don't know what to expect from this game.
...
The story and scene transition is bad.

First thank you so much for playing, and your excellent feedback.

1. More = demons, drow, kistune, supernatural, gods, angels etc.
Basically a cool fantasy game, with lots of variety.
some will be in season 1, others will be in season 2.

2. Bit about the sister on patreon - fixed - another slip, in the game she's your betrothed from a very young age, and your best friend.

3. At this point in the story, you were not the target for the demons, so they were not interested in you, as the prince is a spoiled brat, it will get clear later on, but he was supposed to survive this.

4. Also could you expand on that line where you said story and scene transition is bad?

Hi
Thanks for your feedback!!!

The prologue is on purpose short and sharp, most of the choices are to introduce you to the mechanics of it,
but its mainly a linear story at this point.
Especially with the witch after the attack, where its supposed to show full panic mode - tons of questiosn in your head, but she's ignoring you.

Later on we'll have serious choices with consequences that will effect your relations with your companions, and effecting the direction of the story - i.e. more branching. But all these come at a inflating production costs, so most branches will consolidate after a little or longer whiles. Season 2, will have much more and longer branching options.

Funny that you mention, the first draft was just that,

BUT I got an overwhelming response to let it slide, especially in the complete panic mode he was in,
and the witch a practical experienced woman, and the prince is just a man after all, so fastest way for a reset...
