HTML Masters of Raana [v0.8.3.3] [GrimDark]

[ShinCore]

Not bad. Not bad at all, i wonder how long did it take you to train her to cost this much.
Actually, what is even the upper limit? Is there even an upper limit?
Can you work a slave enough to make her price go up to like... 100k?

that wasnt me, it was KhaiFirst.

as far as limit, i would have to pull up the evaluation engine to try and figure it out. keep in mind that the price shown was selling to the slave agents at the town hall. the new slave auction may have different numbers.

GrimDark — Today at 4:47 AM
New dynamic food system (WIP - up for discussion!)
The business of buying and selling food now demands more strategy, but can also provide a good yield for those who prepare and invest properly.

- There's a new random roll each day that determines the cost of food rations (3 or 4). This value is then further modified by various events - scourges, famines etc.
- Redhaven Market now has a pool of rations - that dynamically depletes and rebuilds itself. This pool will also be affected by the amount of rations the MC sells to the market.
- Redhaven Market starts to sell of more food rations after hitting 5,000 - causing the number to slowly decrease itself.
- Redhaven market has a market cap (7,500). When reaching this cap, you can no longer sell rations to the market. The salesmen will however deplete this volume relatively quickly - down to 5,000.
- The market pool depletes very quickly during famines and somewhat faster during scourges.
- The price for selling and buying food will dynamically increase if the market pool is very low (below 250) or the opposite if it's above 5,000.

Food storage
- The MC can store a maximum of 1,000 rations in his home. If he exceeds this amount, rations start to spoil - (-25 per day).
- The MC can build a food storage silo/room that increases his maximum amount to 7,500. Exceeding this amount will lower rations with -25 per day.

I don't really get what your problem is, if you don't like market then just ignore it.
And yeah, don't worry about me, i won't engage in X if i don't want to.

he said, while not ignoring a "boring market" and complaining about other players engaging IN that "boring" market.

Hypocrisy, is I see, alive and well.

 

[ShinCore]

id like to chime in on the whole food/ration focus.

its true that this is a game, and therefore dont want things to get morbidly complex. HOWEVER, this game is set in a dystopian society where basic resources are scarce. people are struggling just to survive, which is why slaves exist in the first place. those in power control the basic resources needed to live, and leverage it to exert control over those who do not have those resources. the indenture servitude is a form of this control.

this is a core component of the world lore, and therefore i feel it is sensible to see it affect the actual game world and player experience.

 

[♍VoidTraveler]

id like to chime in on the whole food/ration focus.

It's not even a focus.
Grim just improved a little an obviously flawed system which now will be much better.
Guys like dmmt just want something about as complex as tetris, just so they can play it with their pinky toe.
Funny thing is, the current system isn't much more complex than tetris anyway lmao.

 

[hyfka]

dystopian society where basic resources are scarce

Okay but after the early game you are not part of that part of the population anymore

 

[Wener]

did you use an older pre 0.8 save? if so, pls refer to:

I started a new game. It doesn't remove the titles after each re roll of traits, but it does happen.

I'm fine with the dynamic rations in its current planned state. Ignorable + no fire hazard for ma geriatric potato laptop = fine.

Just saying this dystopian scarcity mindset can be applied to ammo, medical supplies, slaves *desperate waifu hoarder noises in the distance*, game *♍VoidTraveler freaking out in 3,2,1...*, anything really. If the Dev doesn't show some self-restrain this is a dangerous rabbit hole.

Now that I bitched enough about what I don't want, let me say a couple things I would want.

An option to get frisky with the girls while camping would be nice. I know it's a tall order, which would require an entire new set of renders, but pinning it to v.78 or so - about 3 weeks in the current pace - would be much appreciated.

Aiko, the female merc has some interesting story potential. She's a daddy's girl, temporarily kicked out of the house to grow up a little. With the upcoming marry 'n' breed DLC, you could romance her and fire a quest to prove yourself to her father and win her hand; or break her into a docile pet and deal with a very angry pappa dragon; or knock her up, kick her out and go through the "Extreme Eastern Circumcision" quest, where the dojo master recruits a thousand steel blades from his current and former students to bring him back your meat blade!

 

[mrttao]

On a side note, MOR isn't a "slave-management game," it is a game WITH slave management.

It is literally called "masters of raana". raana is the world, and "masters" refers to "people who own slaves". You play as a master.
This is a slave-management game.

THIS IS THE CURRENT RECORD ON DISCORD:

View attachment 1989910

I am curious, since this is a record just how much work went into trainingher to that high a value?

Prices are still too low for me to even consider it.
As this is a one time sum equivalent to 207 days of making her work. hmm, maybe a year if you consider the costs of feeding her.

 

[ShinCore]

Folks,

the fact that people care about this game and its direction enough to debate over the exact type and genre of game it is, and what kind of content it should and should not contain, its direction etc etc etc, is heartwarming. even with the snark and sniping.

it shows the value that MoR it has to its players, and any creator would count themselves lucky to have fans that actually care to that level.

just remember that there is only one person in this world who can actually make those decisions. its certainly not me, or any other fan of the game.

im not discouraging any discourse about the game at all. its terrific, in my opinion. and as the few months have shown, player feedback has really helped Grim to flesh out and expand the game. hes one guy, and one person cant see all the angles, or account for all viewpoints. hes a relatively new to game development, and this experience is invaluable to his development and education as a dev.

lets just try and keep things more, i dunno, broad-minded and constructive? id appreciate it.

Lovisa, Aria, Caitlin and Rebecca now have their own unique dialogue (under certain conditions) while the MC is training them in the bondage room.

A high-Willpower Aria (and Corruption below 40), is a really cocky bitch - as seen in the examples below. The new "Thrash!" action will however give her dialogues a less arrogant flavor.

In preparation for the new food system that goes live in tomorrow's update:

Scroll down in the resource/crafting menus to find the food storage building.

 

[SharkVampire]

While I shared my fears in the beginning about whether it is worth to focus on the food market now, seeing how quickly Grim implemented these limits allayed my fears a bit. Not long time ago, I suggested myself in discord to introduce more activities for the player. I will not quote the entire post, because it's long and probably not interesting for everyone, but there I proposed to introduce trade, as well as criminal activities. And Grim replied that the player will be able to acquire property in the future. After this discussion, I also remembered not fully finished feature - crafting. We can already disassemble the merchandise, but we still can't do something with them (which is why I do not sell it). If we accept as a fact that in the future we will be able to sell our products, then the current example of balancing the food market can serve as a base for other markets. The only thing worth considering, as I said earlier, is that food is a product of prime necessity, so the player's influence shouldn't be that significant, but more dependent on events, unless the player owns half the farms in the area, of course.

All clear/debug buttons have been moved to a separate menu to avoid clutter and accidental clicking.

This also contains the fix for those who didn't give Aria's rebellion any cash - which means her quest won't progress properly. Clicking that button and then talking to Aria will immediately advance her quest to the next stage.

 

[♍VoidTraveler]

Revamped escape system with more choices to attack/track slaves.

Now that you can easily prevent escape with fear, i'm not sure i'll ever see this change.

Introducing the Bard/Musician framework. Buy instruments, play at taverns and restaurants to earn cash.

And this could be my next pastime alongside hunting, at least until exploration is here.
Hopefully the tunes are good and there is a large variety.

Rather cheap, i thought the price is gonna be like 10-15k.

 

[GD-studios]

Rather cheap, i thought the price is gonna be like 10-15k.

Don't forget the increased maintenance

 

[♍VoidTraveler]

Don't forget the increased maintenance

Ah, right.
Well, i haven't seen it yet.
I guess it's one of the things i'll need to experience first to understand their effects.
I have my doubts that it will affect me much though, not even double tax did when i started a new game on grimdark with just 300$ in my pocket. Now i have 40k+

 

[♍VoidTraveler]

What an interesting set of questions. Especially the last one.
