VN Ren'Py Long Road Home [Ep.14 Fix 1] [OBDGames]

But,I still do a complete play through once in a while just so I don't forget anything.

Me too every Month to be exact gotta fill the brain with the good stuff you know

 

[Jaga Telesin]

Yep, I did that too... Until I had played it so many times I had it memorized...

I tried that a few times with a couple of AVNs, and found it watered down the experience for me when I realized I'd seen conversations and scenes many times before. So I don't replay anymore unless the game's either finished, or has made years' worth of progress.

Strong, STRONG disagree

I've lost count how many times I've replayed this and Terminus Reach 1&2 (my 3 favs story wise).

But fortunately we all enjoy these games in our own ways

Most of the time that is true. But, some stories are just epic and some are a tale you just like so well... For me, this one is both.

I do agree there, but only with my top 5 or so AVNs (all but one are completed). Can't get enough of a great thing!

Well if someone is looking for original content, "Failure section" is pretty good, sadly moste fails are creative in thier own way, but they then lack consumers. but harem sells to good, i would still just play this for jessy, koff (Rin) if only possible.
But sadly our dev dooh need food on his table, (harem sells to damm good) and well this story itself is really good ,

If this VN didn't have a Harem I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole!

No chance in Hell i would be able to choose a single LI to do a route with......

I quite enjoy Sorcerer as well. I've been rotating between Talo and Dima while waiting for the next part of Ch.10. as well as a few others projects I enjoy where devs are known for taking their time which is fine considering I am more than used to the "hurry up and wait" mentality.

How dare you not to mention Sorcerer

Good thing that jack mentioned it.. i'm more the fantasy type then sci-fi so i like Sorcerer and ToM more then TR 1&2

But i have to agree with you Tal is a damn good story writer! that his games are in the Harem setting is a big big plus.

I'm the other way, sci-fi first then fantasy But yeah, he's one of the best writers I've seen together with Dima of course!

I read (hella) more SF than fantasy, but I game more fantasy. :shrug:
Mostly (I think) because worldbuilding shows more in fantasy than SF.

hmh
pretty sure the world building comes down to the writing quality..
favouring SF over fantasy or vice versa is a personal thing.
Its both fiction in the end. you can see it in talothrals work's he did both and they are kinda similar but all 3 current story world's hes made are different in their own ways

 

[c3p0]

Just saying that this isn't the ideal place for that, although I do really like Tal's game too.

It's easier to say "you can't do that, magic doesn't work that way" than to say the same for tech. Especially in an infinite universe with possible aliens. Fantasy doesn't have to be, but usually is, more limited in scope. If I read "an orcish war machine" I have a rough idea of what sort of thing it is and its capabilities that "an Arquellian battle cruiser" doesn't give me. It absolutely comes down to the writing in the end, but the setting helps a bunch.

I usually prefer scifi/fantasy settings over real world settings but Dima has created an amazing world here.


And of course, with LI's like these..............

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

yeah the setting can help build up a understanding of the SF technology might work and would be kinda required for people lloking to do so,

the "its magic" pill is indeed a lot easier to swallow and produce

 

[muschi26]

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

All technology can seem like magic, but not all magic can be reduced to technology. A firearm sure looks like a wand that kills people to someone who doesn’t know better, but there’s nothing we could make to replicate a wand that spawns unicorns, or grows mountains out of the ground, etc.

 

[Skep-tiker]

but there’s nothing we could make to replicate a wand that spawns unicorns, or grows mountains out of the ground, etc.

But IF there was a technological device capable of doing this, it would be again indistinguishable from magic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[muschi26]

Yes, but what I mean is that, if you limit yourself to hard sci-fi, technology will always have many limitations that magic simply does not.

 

[Skep-tiker]

Depending on the background of the magic. There are fantasy world where spells are defined by complex thesis and conditions, where limitations are quite a thing. In others, magic flows in similar ways then Rykers semen: ple ty and unrestricted.

More back to topic, so this wouldn't get deleted: i miss dima.
