Ren'Py Completed Long Live the Princess [v1.0.1] [Belle]

[TiffanyMonroe]

It's practically core to most empowerment fantasy that the main character starts out in a position where they would be belittled and either works hard or lucks into powers (or a combination of both) that afford him a situation of power. In an interactive medium like gaming it's even more likely, because more than just having the player be able to identify with someone overcoming the odds, they get the satisfaction of accomplishing it themselves. It's especially apt in this type of game, where the player is expected to raise the MC's skills from being almost completely inept at the start to practically mastering skills by the game's end. As long as the player gets to move the MC from that emasculated position to one of strength and power, it can be very appealing indeed. I can't explain the games where the MC starts out treated like shit, and just keeps getting treated like shit the whole game, though. You'll have to find someone else to explain those.

Short answer: Yes.

Saw princess in the title and figured this would be a good game to "pop my cherry" on and had no idea the rabbit hole I climbed in. lol Guess I'll give it another try thanks.

Any Walkthrough for v0.9 ?

I couldn't avoid when I was forced to molest his sister while she slept at the beginning of the game. lol I remember thinking it was weird that he said "fuck it" she won't know or something when I clicked "no" go to bed.
I'm not looking for much just a top 5 list or a general direction to get me started. But if nobody wants to help me it's ok.

I would try Depraved Awakening, Wicked Choices, Forgotten Paradise. If you want something with a female protagonist try Good Girl Gone Bad. That has multiple paths in it. I have pretty much gone out of my way to avoid the games classed as popular games.

You have any games you would recommend? I'm trying to be open minded and try new things but all the forced incest games are giving me pause.

it really depends on what you like. admittedly a lot of games on this site are incest and/or dubcon, but there are other that involve love rather than force. the best way to find stuff is tag searches. if this game isnt too your taste, its not a problem because it helped you learn what you DONT like in a game... as for a recommendation one my personal favorites (besides this one) is called Man of The House. the incest is optional so that can be avoided and all of the interactions revolve around love rather than force. a fair warning though is that the older sister/roommate is a bitch early on until it is revealed that she is secretly a masochist who likes being yelled at. and the mother/landlady gets fake advice from mc but she does have a real attraction to him..... Also to Belle, sorry for talking about another game on your page.

I can't figure out how to save Primrose. I did the investigation inside the library, found nothing at her place, nothing in samara's tent. No one else seems to know anything, I didn't find anything behind the library like I've seen mentioned and for invade mind, I'm missing the last "big" secret (a motive).

 

[User_633486]

might have to give this one a shot again but stick to the walkthrough and see how that goes

 

[Frexxy]

Great game. It's always good playing interesting games like this.

You'll be hard pressed to find games without incest on this site, but I can recommend 2 games with none and excellent gameplayer, they are also very popular so you might have played them already. Sengoku rance and God Catching Alchemy Meister

I know what Primrose's Darkest Secret is...

Sanguine Rose, Acting Lessons, & Melody all have no incest content. Sanguine Rose is a shorter VN with CYOA elements, whereas Acting Lessons & Melody are more straightforward VNs. I'd also recommend Female Agent but since it's in early stages without too much content (since it's supposed to be a simulation game rather than a VN).

Edit; Looks like you're looking for choices - I think Sanguine Rose would be your favorite since the (unfinished) story takes different turns depending on your choices. Acting Lessons has a more controlled stories but if you enjoy the premise, you have some agency to choose how you act.

You could try "Quest Failed"- he isn't treated like crap, per se- but he also never really gets ahead or gets to assert himself (it's a cute little game).
Sorry, Belle- just answering a question, no disrespect to either of you.

@Belle ok, i recently downloaded this game (v0.9) and so far it has been an exciting adventure, but sadly, i have found a bug on Day 10, i searched through this forum for an answer but after looking through the 50th page, i gave up and decided to just ask....

so, Day 10, i have followed the walkthrough exactly as it says and on Day 10, after leaving Callie's Tailor Store, i go to the 'Town Hall' then the 'Upper Training Ground' then the 'Lower training Grounds' as specified in the walkthrough, the next step is to "Talk to Samarra", this option is not showing up nor did it transition into the Afternoon like it normally does, it says in the top left corner that it is the Afternoon but Samarra is not there....it has literally stopped me dead in my tracks....

help??, or point me to the page that fixes this bug, if it is a bug to begin with....

excellent game though

An outdated walkthrough is not a bug. You'll notice that the walkthrough's version number doesn't match the game's current version. There's nothing I can do except recommend that you play the game without a walkthrough. It's not that hard and there's little you risk missing at this point.

thank you for the quick reply....i will try that, it is a big step backwards but thats what makes it more fun right...?, haha, thanks

 

[gestved]

congratulations on reaching the side stories goal, I was doubtful if it would be reached when the fey court one was, but it was relatively easily after some months

Thanks! However, unlike with previous goals, I'm going to wait to consider this one truly reached until the pledged amount is stable at that level after pledges are collected at the start of the month. We might be at $3500 right now, but in two days we are likely to be at $3300, at least for a few days.

 

[Safetydummy]

Woo-hoo!! Saved Primrose!

(I kinda miss Samarra's old speech pattern- it made her seem more foreign and exotic (especially after learning more about her in this update).

Awesome update as always Belle!
(Say "Hi" to Belle for me. lol)

So.. I know I'm "that guy" but I guess consoling your stats up doesn't work? Because I still get the "Don't have enough courage" or whatever stat each time I try.

You're talking about the tutorial. Stats currently have no effect there. Beyond that, cheating to improve your stats is silly in this game. The process of increasing your stats is where you'll see a lot of the game's scenes. Most adult games force you to grind to increase your stats so you can get the reward at the end. I reward you every step of the way.

In short, cheating in this game will make you see far fewer scenes and is likely to mess up the game logic. You have nothing to gain and lots to lose.

 

[Jordan Morrison]

Well, thank you then.
