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

[Belle]

Alright, so I have a question. I think I've done everything you can so far in this game. However, I'm on Day 73, I played without a walk-through and needed help once which Belle was nice enough to reply to n helped out. I remember in the beginning they said there was a certain amount of days until the Princess came and I'm wondering did I waste too much time. I know I could be overthinking this but this is an awesome game and I would like the best outcome for my character.

It doesn't matter what day you're on for now. From the next update, you'll be able to manually trigger the endgame after a set amount of days. It won't happen on its own until the story is complete and I've done a balance pass across the entire game.

I am relieved and somewhat hurt lol. Can't believe its coming to an end in the next update. It's been an awesome journey.

It's not ending in the next update. The endgame will take several updates for me to complete.

Hey Belle,

minor thing I noticed when in replay: Belle's name for the MC reverts to the standard "virgin", even if it's impossible (or near impossible) for the MC to be a virgin in the scene that is replayed.

I would also like to add I have a BFA in Creative Writing. If you ever need any help or anything I'd be happy to send you my credentials to show you I'm not talking out of my ass. I would gladly help you out for free on any project you have. I just recently started playing games like these and this is by far one of the best.

Thank you! I feel like I have the writing under control though, so I'm not in any immediate need of help.

Hmm, that's going to be a little annoying to fix. Oh well, noted! Thanks!

Why so glum people. We all know Empire Strikes Back was better than Star Wars. Wait till you get a load of Belle's sequel.

end game.

Avengers end game ?? Hehe

 

[Paapi]

Is this game near to end ?? If yes, how many updates reimaining to complete story ??

 

[sinclairl]

Endgame means the game is actually being finished, which is the best and most rare fate a crowdfunded game can have.

 

[Sildani]

It’ll take Belle months to finish this. It’s going to be intricate, polished, and tweaked as all get-out before she puts down her keyboard.

And then, we wait for the Sci-Fi sequel featuring a snarky, horny AI called B.E.L.L.E...

 

[Belle]

I can't give you a schedule for when I expect to release these updates, but just to keep expectations in check: I'm currently planning 4 updates for the endgame. The first one, that I'm working on right now, covers the entire day before the coronation. So don't expect the game to end during the next update. Far from it.

So, I've been sat here for like 3 hours now, trying to figure out why I can't complete the Crone's secret. (I already learned what it is, of course, because most of my time was spent trawling the comments here.)
Turns out I'm missing the "I had a vision of the Princess" clue. I don't know why. I've done literally everything else, Nell is gone, and I apparently need this one event to happen. What can I do here?

It's impossible to miss that clue. You get it during your Invade Mind-training with the Crone. You are aware that your clues list contains multiple pages, right?

Wow. Belle has one of he most successful games on this site and she still drops by to answer questions. That is very refreshing. Please don't ever let your (well deserved) rise to fame change you.

Thank you! Growing distant from the fanbase is the absolutely last thing I want to do. I see the most successful devs distancing themselves almost completely, and it frustrates me. Creating something that people enjoy, and talking to them about it, is more important to me than the money.

I can post a screenshot of my Clues tab, if that would help. All the other ones are there (and yes, I do know it's not a single page), but that one isn't.
Was that event added in a recent upload? I hadn't played this game in a few months before today so I don't even remember if I saw the scene and the clue bugged out, but maybe my problem is that I was using my saves from an older build. It would suck if I had to start over, but oh well.

Saves have been compatible since 0.03, and the only issues between them have been patched when you load older saves. This particular issue has never been bugged and has never needed to be patched.

I can't tell you why you seem to be missing the clue (though I suspect you might just be overlooking it. I've stared myself "blind" looking for obvious things myself more times than I dare admit), but as I said, it's unmissable. The only time it would get removed from your game is after you solve the Crone's secret. I just checked the code just to make sure.

Potential bug: searching samarra's tent in the morning (using the knock spell to steal her panties) indicates that it will advance time when picking the choice, but does not actually do so

Could you upload the save file instead? that would probably make it easier to check what's going on.

Based on what I can recall, I believe the original intent was for that choice to take an action, but I changed my mind during playtesting. Apparently, I forgot to remove the icons. Fixed, and thank you.
