VN Ren'Py Luminary Protocol [v0.42] [Jubs Games]

I'm not being argumentative here. I just wanna provide my thoughts on the situation because I grew up with violence every day and I might be able to shed some light on some contention about how the MC reacts.



This makes sense to me. It was repeated that MC lived a pretty good sheltered life before coming into the new world. The most violent thing he experienced is rugby, so for him to be affected like he was makes total sense. Even after months of training, taking a life in CQB would be jarring to someone like him. If he grew up like I did, then I could see the argument that the affect on his mental state wouldn't be as bad.

On a side note, soldiers don't get that much training in USA. I realize that the USA isn't the only western nation, so you might not be talking about us, but our soldiers are usually considered better trained excluding special forces. Those people, no matter where in the world, get massive amounts of training comparitively. 3 months of boot camp for USMC which has the longest boot camp in the US armed forces by double the amount of the Army which is 1.5 months long, which is the second longest boot camp in the US armed forces. Then comes ITB (Infantry Training Battalion). That can be longer depending on your MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), because you're learning your specific job. Your estimation of 6 months of training is close depending on what your MOS is, but ONLY if you explicitly talk about Marines. Any other branch, there is a high probability that they didn't get that much training. You said soldier, which in USA speak, means Army. USMC makes Marines, US Army makes soldiers, US Navy makes sailors, and US Airforce makes....well not just pilots and mechanics. IDK what they make. Military members who consider bicycle riding as PT (physical training)? OK OK OK. I can't be that harsh to our flyboys. They make the best damned pilots on the planet....you flyboys happy now? Real talk, air support is essential to ground forces. I appreciate every pilot in the US military.

Hopefully, if you weren't talking about US armed forces, you view this little tangent as a learning opportunity (which is what it is intended as) rather than seeing it as American ego. Maybe this info can help you in the future.

BTW Dev, the harem tag isn't implemented yet but in the planned section, so does that mean that if I choose a girl, I'm temporarily locked out of the others?

No, you're not locked out. It's primarily that the girls don't know about each other yet. (I can't speak to whether any locking out might happen in the future, ofc.; I'm only talking about the situation right now.) And they can't choose to accept the other girls if they don't already know about them. So there are three things:

1. Being simultaneously in a sexual and/or romantic relationship with the MC
2. and also being completely OK with sharing with other LIs
3. And also, there must be at least three girls who fit the previous qualifications.

This is not yet the case in the game.

I'm not going to say much about my experiences in the US Army save that I did most of the combat arms special courses, but armies in general be they NATO, Eastern European, middle east, etc. are vastly different as black is to white from each other from basic to advance training.

However as mentioned earlier one's background and how society they come from influence the makeup of the various armies. This game has a very interesting world build to it. Off the top of my head, I'd say nearly a thousand years of western history is the inspiration for the world build... costumes that range from late imperial Rome to Victorian... tech like having trains but using swords...

But since this is a fictional world, the developer really doesn't need to explain these various elements, nor the society in which the MC's background is from... it is what it is.

Where fan commentary and input really help is how characters develop their personalities and plot considerations. For me I am kind of happy there isn't firearms in the game, but if the developer wants to include them, limit them to something like a Wheellock (no flintlock or etc.), just a wheellock, something that was in history that were very rare, difficult to make, extremely expensive, and reserved to elite units and noblemen... but in the age of gunpower standoff combat was normal and bayonet charges rare (usually one side or the other would run away before the charge made contact.) But... on the other hand broadswords and sabers were very common and cavalry didn't hesitate to use them (see Napoleonic Wars). So is there kind of problem with the MC having a soft heart about killing... a little. Trust me when I say hand-to-hand is much more stress fueled adrenalin then ranged combat... so it is a little strange the MC is willing to use a sword.
