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

[ut1stgear]

One of the most unique and clever aspects of this game is that it's the "grinding" that provides much of the content and is itself its own reward. You aren't just raising agility so that you're better at molesting girls in their sleep, you're raising agility to experience scenes with Nell and Samarra. That's one reason I find it funny people keep asking for cheats to raise their stats. They're only depriving themselves by doing so.

Since I don't code dive I'll take you word for the hidden stats. I also didn't find this game to be overly grindy but very efficient and necessary but easy to do. At least with this one it doesn't appear that it requires a restart of game and I think old saves will work. Too many games are not only grindy but also require a restart for every update.

It makes it all the more frustrating when I see people (not just you) comment that it's a small update. It might not take long to play through, but it took ages (as in, one month) to make.

Having done a little "programming", as they called it in the 90's, I understand how long it takes and how something as simple as missing a comma can cause an endless loop or a complete crash. Something that players can do is to load the trace file when they receive an exception. They include a lot of useful information for the coder.

Edit: While it's allowing me to upload my save file, it won't allow me to upload my persistent file. Anyone know a way around this? Is it even necessary for the gallery unlock?

Put it in a zip file and you can upload here.

Eh, it's okay. You merely pushed me over the edge where I felt I had to say something. I understand that it can be difficult to see game development from the developer's point of view, particularly for people who are mostly used to AAA games and teams of developers. I'm just one person (or pixie for the speciesists out there) with only so much time available to work on the game. Version 0.12.0 of represents the greatest number of new sex scenes added in a single update of this game, something I could only do by crunching like crazy for several weeks. It makes it all the more frustrating when I see people (not just you) comment that it's a small update. It might not take long to play through, but it took ages (as in, one month) to make.

0.13.0 is likely to be shorter from my perspective, but I suspect players will see it the other way around. I just have to maintain a thick skin and keep working.

Thanks for forgiven me, don't know what exactly came through me, yes it was short to play, but I never meant to upset or frustrate you, I should be grateful and not acting like a spoiled brat, I wasn't thinking, won't happen again

Hi Belle !

Just discovered this marvelous gem of a game. I really liked the Phoenix Wright feel of the clue system. It made the game far less straightforward than the ren'py games. The music you chose (or composed, i don't know) for the breaking dialogs works really well. It almost give shivers when we find the right clue !

You provided me all the fetishes i really dig (molest, sister, mind control, etc.) on a layer of nice and rich fantasy background. Your renders are nice, and i really like how you found a relevant story for each model (ie, the small asian as a part-fey).

I also took the liberty to have a quick look at your ren'py code, and i've rarely seen something that clean. No wonder i didn't encounter any bug on my three playthroughs.

You have my monthly $5.

Many thanks !

Thanks for your kind comments. The quoted one is particularly interesting since so few people dig into the code to look at it. It's hard to be objective when it comes to one's own code.

 

[Safetydummy]

Eeeeep! (Yes, I literally make this noise every time there is an update for this game). An update!

Yay, Belle (both). I haven't played all the way through this one in its entirety yet (just got to the part where Primrose drops the bomb on you. I just hope I don't accidentally call out Belle's name, during naughty fun-time. Lol SHE is the one I truly want, but the whole scale thing makes it rather difficult...

Quick question about the Gallery, (someone may have already answered this, but I didn't see anything in the 4 pages that I went back through- so you can chalk this one up to laziness, if you must...) why are scenes that I've already done still locked? The first one with Nell in the dungeon, all of Samarra's scenes, all of Primrose's scenes, and all of the Fairy Queen scenes. I've already done all of them, so is there some reason that I cannot access them now? Also, is it imperative that it reverts back to the default MC's name in the Gallery? It doesn't use the that you input...

Are there console commands to restore the values for the things that you've already done? Anybody, somebody- please help.

Also, who is the Leanan Sidhe? She doesn't have any scenes locked/unlocked- she's, apparently, a place holder for a new character?

Because of the way in which the gallery works, some old scenes won't unlock automatically. You'll have to reach them in the game again while playing 0.12.0 or above.

You meet her when you go to visit the Fairy Queen. She'll be back later.

• First off, thanks for the quick response.
• Um, there seems to be a slight problem with that- unless you can be re-arrested when Samarra first arrives in town, you don't get the "trouser-friendly hand-shake" from Nell...or is that scene not included in the Gallery? You don't get your "reward" from Samarra at the Training Grounds, because she'll no longer teach you... It seems like quite a few of these scenes you only get on your first go 'round...
• Would it just be easier to re-start a new game so that all of these changes occur, organically?
  
• Also, if you do a re-start will the name change happen in the Gallery or will it just stay the default one?
• And...

You meet her when you go to visit the Fairy Queen. She'll be back
later.

• Aren't/weren't we forbade from visiting the Fairy Queen again after we put on our little "show" for her and her subjects (by her hubby). You can't go back an unlock her scene?

btw, the scenes with Primrose were n-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ce.

 

[Jbbond]

Excellent update! The Primrose path was very well done. Looking forward to more...

 

[Belle]

Would it just be easier to re-start a new game so that all of these changes occur, organically?

You'll have to unless you have saves from before those scenes.

Also, if you do a re-start will the name change happen in the Gallery or will it just stay the default one?

The gallery is unrelated to your saves, so it has no idea what you've named your character. I might look into making some way for you to enter a custom name for gallery scenes, but it's not a high priority.

Hi! Would someone be awesome enough to post a save before this latest update?

 

[ut1stgear]

I decided to grind out a decent bank roll and now have 1161 copper coins or equivalent to 1 gold 1 silver with 61 copper left over. It would be nice if you could convert all the copper coins to gold and silver coins. It would save having to calculate them. I did miss one sex scene with the fay when going to the fey court though and am sure I missed others due to the choices I have made so far. I want to explore what happens if I confess my feelings for Evelyn though but want to keep the position I am at now with no one removed from a relationship so will have to remember which save file to load for when new updates are released. Primrose is friends with benefits, Evelyn is still using her womanly wiles to negotiate, Belle is still Belle and the others are advanced as far as I can right now.

Edit: Forgot to mention that all of my abilities are advanced as far as possible for now.

 

[Augustus Commodus]

Of all the people in here, you must be the one with the least to apologize for.

I don't know about that. I often forget to show my appreciate for your work in my haste to provide feedback. Instead of a "thank you" or even a "I really enjoyed this update," I immediately inundate you with "here's a bug," "I think you should have given us an option to do this," or "I have a fun idea for a scene that won't actually contribute anything meaningful to the game but would probably create a ton of extra work for you."

Thanks for that! I could absolutely use save files from people who have fresh saves that were started in 0.12.0. I'm particularly interested in saves from the moment where Primrose asks you to meet her at night since it allows me to see both the relationship values players end up at and how long it has taken them to get to that point.

I do suspect the average values players end up with will be quite a bit lower in the final version of the game, both because there are more challenges coming up that could sour one's relationships with the girls, and because there will be a time limit. But until then, I need to make sure that there is a certain balance between any diverging paths I make. There's not much point in diverging between a Girlfriend path and a Friends With Benefits path if everyone ends up in just one of them anyway.

I have uploaded a save, following the walkthrough, from right before Primrose asks Dickon to visit her that night. On the morning of day 23, it has like 17, love 8, perverted 2, and pushy -8. As I mentioned before, love and perverted look pretty good. Just 2 more perverted points would result in getting the FwB route instead of the girlfriend route, which could happen very easily early in the game. Also, simply allowing Primrose to be arrested instead would also result in the FwB route. Given that pushy is only ever factored if it's positive, it isn't close to doing anything. Like is also well above the threshold of 10 to trigger the scene, which means the deciding factor of its timing is clearing Primrose in the investigation, which has a set start date. Also, I noticed something else in the code. It looks like repeating the boobjob is intended to increase like and love, but I think it is only increasing like. While I can parse the code, I'm not an expert on it, but I think it might be because of the ## in front of the love increase.

Another thing to consider, though, is the New Game+. At this point, the relationship with Primrose is almost incidental from increasing Perversity. On subsequent playthroughs, were the player retains abilities, it will take a dedicated effort to cultivate relationships with the girls.

I have also included a zip version of my persistent file for those who still want a full gallery unlock.

The one I included fits that bill.

So you would need to overwrite the persistent file in the game then.

 

[Augustus Commodus]

The one in \Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\LongLiveThePrincess-1502893155. I believe that will unlock all the gallery scenes. Don't forget to unzip it, first.

thx but I found the persistent.py and .pyo in the renpy file in the game. Decided I only want the ones I unlock by playing but thanks for the offer.

 

[Idkanythingsmarter]

@Augustus Commodus Thx for walktrough in first place, but I have one problem. I have followed first walktrough I blv it was till 10.2 ver. or something like that and after this new update yours till end of current version, but I have didn't got some scenes with molesting Sammara and Nell. I have been caught both times by Sammara. Is it maybe bcs of new update or something else? By the way, can you please share your last save to check some things with my save. Thx in advance.

 

[Belle]

It would be nice if you could convert all the copper coins to gold and silver coins.

Gold and silver coins don't really do anything at this point. I'm planning to overhaul the money system once I introduce more things to use it on.

I don't know about that. I often forget to show my appreciate for your work in my haste to provide feedback.

It goes both ways. I don't show enough appreciation for the work you do, either.

It looks like repeating the boobjob is intended to increase like and love, but I think it is only increasing like. While I can parse the code, I'm not an expert on it, but I think it might be because of the ## in front of the love increase.

The boobjob originally did increase both, but I changed it when I modified Primrose's progression in this update. I figured that it makes little sense to have the most effective way of making her love you be to put your dick between her tits, fun as that may be.

 

[Motoko Kusanagi]

Thanks Dev, a wonderful game so far. I've nearly done everything you can do in the current version. Can't wait for more!

You have to limit the number of things you do or you will get caught every time. Perversity only goes to level 4 right now which is not high enough to not get caught. When you got to Samara's tent at night only do things with one of them per visit. Also your magic skills are not high enough to do much and your agility needs to be higher to do much. Those 3 abilities work together to give you a little more time with them. As I already said you will always without warning if you stay too long in the tent at night. Remember that Belle leaves when you enter the tent unlike with Primrose or Evelyn where she warns you that they are about to wake up.
