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

[SonaGate]

It's a game about mind control, if it's going to happen further, it'll probably be you making it happen.

Netorase huh? i'm fine with that

If you had bothered to read even the last 2 pages, or you know run a search on the thread:

Sorry. I do not have keyboard and mouse to run a search. My cat stole it.

All the people asking for a walk through, and yet none of them get frustrated enough to say "Fine, I'll do it myself." People just want things handed to them.

You have the game, you can take the time to play through every option and learn the good and bad stuff. Besides, most of what has been added since the last walkthrough is actually really intuitive and easy. We haven't had a "Solve this before Primrose gets killed" kind of mission for a while, so nothing has been time sensitive and you can take your time figuring stuff out.

Then once you do, open up a Word Document, write it down, make it pretty and upload it to the forum. Then you'll be a hero. Congrats, you did it.

That's life these days though.....take, take, take with no give or even appreciation. Besides if you can't play without a walkthrough are you really playing? I can understand using one to help with tough spots but just blindly following a walkthrough just seems blagh to me.

Is there an Evelyn update?

Hey, @jande21 , do you think you could do me a favor? I'm refreshing the Patreon to whip up a little more excitement among newcomers right now, and as part of that, I have created a new banner image and completely changed the story description. Could you replace the banner and text on the front page of this thread with the following? Thanks!


View attachment 256258

The King is dead. His daughter, Princess Selena, is set to take the crown. But something is wrong. Murder, backstabbing, and visions of extinction threaten to bring ruin to all that is good. And at the heart of it all is a tale of personal tragedy and lost love.

You are a Truthsayer. Yours is the ability to tell if someone is lying. With your mentor dead, it is up to you to protect the Princess when she arrives in your hometown for her coronation. But a secretive old crone and her foul-mouthed pixie assistant have different plans for you.

With a newly learned ability to uncover secrets and use them to your own advantage, you are tasked with getting close to Princess Selena to save her from her darkness. But to achieve that, you must practice by getting close to the women in town. Real close.

And as you venture towards your destiny, someone is watching you closely...

Just a 70's Retro banner suggestion.

I have a save from last time i played either version 13 or 14 .. think 14 if that is ok buddy.

I like you because Liam is your picture.

I am always excited to see an update for this game. I really hope that the next game will have a multi-person team with higher quality renders.

I may have to start over. I'm on day 26, loaded from an old save before the map. I can't find the Crone to learn Knock, I'm trying to prove Primrose's innocence in 5 or 6 days, or find out more secrets of Samarra to win my agility training.

Stats are Agility 4, Courage maxed at 3, Perversity 4, Charisma 2.

Can someone give me a nudge?

Are you asking for a save or hints?

 

[WaveOfPig]

@Belle Would you be willing to post a compressed and an uncompressed version of the same render? I know you said that it made no difference in your opinion, but ever since you said that, I've been really curious to see for myself.

P.S. It's really cool if not, I'll love you either way

That would have to be a truly ancient save then. The process of finding the Crone is the same as it has been since the wilderness map was introduced a long time ago. Leave town, click map, choose Crone's hut. She's not in town, so if you're trying to find her on the town map, you're out of luck.

It might be truly ancient! Is 3/30/18 a date that makes sense to the development timeline? I remember Samarra talking like a Russian extra.

I've never seen the wilderness map. Right now, I click the map, get to the town map, click leave town, and I get a grassy forest scene with my only menu choice is to return to town. Seems like the same time Morning or Afternoon, and Night tells me it's too late.

You access the wilderness map the same way you access the town map: with the map button. It's context-sensitive, so try clicking the map button while in the wilderness. You'll figure it out. If you're really struggling to make sense of it, try playing the tutorial again. Instructions have been added there since you last played.

There you go. It's probably possible to see a difference between them if you zoom in or look extremely close (JPG *is* lossy compression, after all. By definition, detail must be lost to some degree), but I can't really see any difference between them at regular zoom. I'm using JPG compression at the second highest quality possible in my image applications. Had I gone with the highest quality, the size would be roughly the same between the two images, which would defeat the point. For the record, the PNG represents the image exactly as it was when it came out of the renderer. The JPG is compressed after that.

Got it, thanks! Have you thought about having different icons for the town map and the wilderness map? Or a line of text to remind the player?

I'll try and find the tutorial, thanks for the pointer. Is that in a new game?

It also appears that some things didn't unlock for me in the gallery. Are they supposed to unlock in order? I know I've seen a scene with Sarmarra, but all of hers are unlocked.

That's probably not going to happen. It's more likely that I'll add a menu option to open the map in appropriate locations, but I'm not particularly fond of the idea.

The tutorial is the linear section at the start of the game, up until you're given full control during day two.

There is no order. They unlock when you find them. Some are mutually exclusive.

@Belle I'm going to have to disagree that there is no perceivable difference. If you look at the small patch of skin between the two ties in the cleavage area that shape is clearly more defined on the top image. You can also see that the left shoulder/upper arm, the lower quality image tends to get patchier and the shading is less defined. The biggest difference to me is her face where the patchiness happens again, and the lines specifically around the nose and eye crease area are less defined. Now, this all being said, it took me a minute or so of close scrutinizing to become acquainted with the image to really notice the difference and the lower file size is undoubtedly worth it. These are just my personal observations and opinions of course.

The important point here is this: if you hadn't seen the original PNG, you would never have noticed any of those things.

Yeah now that I see the difference is so subtle I have no qualms. I meant nothing by it, I have just been wondering for months so I had to ask. Keep up the fantastic work!
