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

[humanstickobserver]

So, I just downloaded again and played to finish. I was surprised to see from my old saves that the last time I played was March... last year!
And I still remembered everything. Story, setting, characters, events. That's a big deal. Between life, movies and TV, work, and other games here, it's easy to play a game, get super drawn in, and come time for an update, go to play it only to realize you don't recall events or plot, or what is happening or why, or who many characters are.
At least, that's an issue I struggle with. So, coming back to this game, after 13 months, and having everything as fresh in my mind as a favorite book or movie from years past, is a HUGE compliment to the writing of the game.

The girls are all so unique and beautiful. Their personalities shine through a lot too.
I like how you start as sort of a loser, not a bad guy but a complete putz, and by the end of the game you are a more developed person. Growth like that makes a story a lot more believable.

And while I'm not sure what it will entail, the idea of a New Game+ mode to get people to replay the game and try different paths is very unique, in this genre, and has amazing potential!

My personal hopes?

Even in a post as long as my typical posts, things forget to be said. So I just wanted to clear up why I pushed for something when I talked about my hopes for the game. Spoilers for those uninterested or... avoiding spoilers.


I wanted to clarify why I wish so bad the game had harem endings. I know harem is common, and some people don't like it (see it as a "have your cake and eat it too" thing and feel being forced to choose is more realistic) but one thing about this game is that you, more or less, have to pursue all the girls. In a game where you can pick paths and love interests, or try to play the field and hope for the best, single character endings make sense. But because we have to basically pursue them all, I think it hurts more needing to decide "ok, she is my favorite and I want to drop all the rest."
Especially because the girls are so well written, and look so genuinely heartbroken in epilogues where you didn't pick them. Evelyn with running makeup, or Primrose huddled over herself in tears in the reading room.

Anyhow, I am the type who likes the mentality of "I did everything right, so best possible ending!" and so I get it when people criticize me wanting harem. But yeah, I just wanted to expand on why I wanted a harem ending so much. Seeing the girls cry made me sad.

Uh, there is a harem ending...of sorts.

Why do you think that? I know for a fact that I didn't.

That version takes you to the Start end game perfectly fine.

The end game may require a save or some roll back but you can do it (only like 3 ish choices)

still valid on ng and ng+ and when chatting with demon needs to do savescumming UNLESS ingame wt tells right answers (doubt it).

 

[cxx]

I mean I did run into a problem with NG+ as Nell would never kiss me and so never go further. But I do not know what that was. Bug or I clicked wrong somewhere... I am unsure

But only on NG+

you did something wrong, i got up to hj before took a break on waiting deep sleep spell before continuing.

 

[jaw1986baby]

I mean I got that while under spell influence. But when you go rooftop climbing and we get naked, when I try to kiss her I get rejected. The only other choice leads to clothes back on and done with event for that time.

Belle, would we get more sex scenes with princess lilth & Selena.

Where would they fit in? You free Lilith, she disappears. The next time you see her is at the very end of the game and your choice dictates what happens next. Any sex you're going to have with the sisters will be at that point and in the epilogue. So there's not really anywhere you could fit more scenes.

 

[iainmore]

Hope you are well Belle. Do your thing and trust your own instincts. It has been pretty good so far.

Basically this. Attempting to get in any more scenes with them at this point would become very forced because of their placement in the story structure. Not all the girls in this game will ever be balanced in number of sex scenes because of these things.

spend time with her at stable and do more roof running etc.

Belle, would we get more sex scenes with princess lilth & Selena.

like others have said there's no room. player won't meet selena until end game and lilith is quite problematic too. 1 way is to extend their ending but those who like other girls would want their endings extended too.

 

[Belle]

There is a hardcoded failure set up for your first rooftop climb with Nell, so your stats don't really matter that time. You need to go up there again with her to succeed. I'm going to change this later, when I rework Nell's scene.

 

[Belle]

But I did something wrong then because I went back 3 more times and always got the reject. Does the book you retrieve from the Library for her make an impact?

Yes, it might. Her feelings towards you depend on multiple factors, including your choice of book.

i really hope the Mac version gets updated soon

Good game except in the case of absorption path ending. Not going to again spend data for it. Can't say that a movie is good if its climax is not good. Same thing applicable here too

your call but game withstands 2nd play and you miss new things.
