I got nor errors on my play except during a hj the screen got lower tooooo much lower.

I don't know you but for my first play, i'm in deep shiiiit! 1 vote only for me even if i begin to climb up the ladder of my annihilation.

Sometimes that's the effect of the randomness, you got the skill, the cards and got facepalm by the game lol

You place it at Users/username/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/NakedAmbition
I'll upload a new one to this post for the new art in .52, and you just edit the file to remove the extension same as you'd edit any file.

This could be happening if you're using old saves that had the cards generated with old versions of the function as the basic attribute is relatively new. If not, then it's most likely some card being added to your deck mid game that's missing a variable somewhere. So let me know if you're using a clean save of not.

Don't get too worked up about not having council members on your side. The game is only about 3/5 of the way through the full timeline anyway so you have time to catch up and not getting on the throne isn't losing. When endings actually happen, there'll be enthroned and disinherited variations for every character so you'll only be able to to get half of the endings anyway if you always get on the throne.

Awesome thanks, one more quick question.

Am I replacing/deleting the presistent file that was already there in the roaming area?

Thinking of it as just a game, the gameplay design is really interesting and fun to explore. A lot more intriguing than VN's with plain choices where you can just reload and change every outcome.


However, a porngame unlike a regular one has the additional requirement of delivering lewd content in a satisfying manner and too much RNG can become a real nuisance.

The way the dice-roll choices appear to become hardcoded to the save once made makes it impossible to savescum. Even if you go back multiple days and make different attitude choices and draw different cards, it'll still be locked to the choice made the very first time. You can draw the appropriate cards the second or third time, but it'll still fail.

It's not a game can't or shouldn't have content only reachable via multiple playthroughs, it's rather that even if you start a new game and have a path you wish to pursue you'll have to pray that the RNG allows it and doesn't choose one you've already walked down.

Idle observation since Evette just got more content; she really is the best tutor. She's just generally cool, even before the princess starts sleeping with her. Plus, she's really good mechanically as well - courtesy of her modifiers, you barely need a week to hit the next set of thresholds in her specialties. Which ironically, kind of encourages you to spend more time on responses that teach the princess to be passive and trusting, and encourages her to be a nervous wreck... Hm.

A quick question since the Vizier is coming up next, and I haven't tried him out yet; is he actually serious about the whole "I'm wasting time on you since I took an oath to your family" thing? Because on the one hand, I could understand someone like him believing that the only way the sheltered princess could win the support of the council is to use sex appeal, but... On the other, I could also see someone like him just using this as an excuse to see her naked and embarrassed.

I ask because how annoyed I am with him varies a lot based on his motives; if he genuinely thinks this is the best way, and just happens to enjoy the obvious benefits to him, well, he's a total jerk, but at least it's still in her best interests. If he's just taking advantage, though... Can we have him executed after she's Queen? /not a serious question

...For that matter, how honest is he with the whole "Become Queen or your step-brother will execute you" thing? It's a reasonable thing to be worried about in a turbulent situation like that of the game, but it also seems like an obvious way for the Vizier to get a pliant puppet on the throne.

Eh, I think you're overthinking this a bit. If you're after a single character's path, you just need to stack the deck in their favor, and be sure to hit their skill thresholds - you'll have to set some stuff aside and watch the princess make a fool of herself a couple of times, but you're generally not giving up that much. And even if you still fail their event, you can still reload from the season checkpoint to ensure that you clear it.

Putting her on the throne is harder, but you don't need a perfect playthrough to make it happen, and you're given more tools to influence said RNG as the game continues.

EDIT: Oh, and just to report a minor, mostly irrelevant bug... If you talk to Amelia at the Flame Festival, and succeed on her checks, it looks as though after the conversation finishes, the game goes on to play her failure dialogue as well. It's kind of weird, but since you don't actually lose any favor or affection as a result, it doesn't seem that important.

My take so far is that it is a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

I do believe he genuinely thinks sex appeal is the only way Collette wins the throne, but that he is also pushing for a slutty and submissive queen for his own benefit, those two things do not contradict each other and are rooted on the fact he is a massive misogynist.

He is loyal to Collette's family, but Collette is just a woman of the family, he wants Collette to defeat Adelin since Adelin taking the throne would mean him starting his own lineage to which the Vizier would have no connection or bonding oath, and I think his "nobler" goals would be for Collette to eventually sire a male heir that would restore the lost greatness of her family, and if the means to get to said goals also happen to be for him to be the true mind behind the throne while also getting to have fun with the hot body of a naive nubile queen, then all the better for him. Maybe eventually it will be revealed he wants to take the throne for himself or become Collette's husband and other mad ambitions, but so far he could still be a "loyal servant", just one that doesn't have any respect for Collette as a person.

I do not think Adelin having Collette executed would be a foregone conclusion, sure, her future children could potentially be claimants for the throne around which oportunist loyalist groups could gather, but considering Adelin seems to be mostly a reasonable lad that initially held no ill feelings towards Collette, the much more likely solutions would have been for Adelin to marry Collette himself, or marry her off to any of his relatives (don't remember if he has any living ones), or even send her to a convent. I'm pretty sure the Vizier just said that to scare Collette into not imediatelly surrendering her claim, and after the initial shock she does seem to want to be queen to honor her family more than just out of fear of any possible consequences.

ineresting style. how is the art done? looks like pixelized 3d?
It's modeled in 3D first and then rotoscoped.

Do we have the option to gangbang the princess ? It could come up good
Eventually.

The Vizier is going to be rewritten a little bit in the next update. Originally, he was going to be the "turn the princess into a whore who sleeps with everybody" route, but then I wrote Ulric and he's that but more so. Now the Vizier is going to be much more covetous of the Princess, keeping her to himself mostly. So he'll make her use her body to tease men for her advantage, but at the end of the day, the Princess is his to use. But as far as his motivations go, he's an extreme misogynist and doesn't believe the Princess deserves or has the ability to get on the throne. But he has a duty to his family so he still has to make her queen. And that means using her body to her advantage and making her subservient to him so she doesn't use that dumb woman brain of too much. Not the nicest guy, but his intentions are good-ish.

As for how serious the threat of execution actually is if she doesn't get on the throne, that's too spoilery for me to answer.

Looks like my saves are dirty. I'll try with clean saves then.

i love this game so far! Especially the feature with random cards entering the mix as the story progresses.

I wonder, will there be any mini games in the game further on?

I see, thank you.

His attitude and approach are pretty irritating, but I can't really hate him if he genuinely believes this is the best way to fulfill his obligation to her. I doubt I'd have much faith in the princess's ability at the start of the game either - just, you know, because she's never been raised as a ruler, not because she's a woman.

It's nothing that'll prevent me from cheering her on when she fires him as her advisor, of course, but at least when I do his route, I won't be questioning his motives every time he talks.

Just to be clear on the last part, though - I was more wondering if the Vizier was serious about the risks to her or if he just said it as a way to prevent her from immediately giving up, rather than whether there's a serious risk of her dying. I mean, the "Consider it a success if she doesn't die" at the start of the game kind of made the risks to her clear :p .

To elaborate on my reasoning... I can absolutely imagine one of her step-brother's more ruthless supporters deciding that the risk of keeping her alive outweighs her value, and deciding to act on their own, but being on the throne itself is hardly that much safer for her - and running for the throne herself would seem even riskier. Telling her to take the throne herself to survive seems more likely to get a person killed if they're half-hearted about it than it does to save them.

That said, hearing that the Vizier is serious about his oath and not just using it as an excuse answers that part well enough for me :) . Sure, he intends to use her as a puppet, but that's because he has no respect for her - it's not his primary motivation.

It's not something I would want to do for something as widespread and pervasive in the game as male+female content. While I appreciate there are people who would enjoy the game more as solely a female+female kind of thing, the attention the Princess gets from men is baked into the story. Just removing those scenes would be pretty problematic. Does Ulric just not exist anymore? If I decided to put in something that a large people don't like, which I have with the futa stuff which I intentionally quarantined to one tutor, maybe some sort of skipping over it feature could be used. Like for one vore scene or something.

On a different note, I'm going over all the old sexy art and redoing a lot of it. Here's an example.

So that's something that will rollout over the next few updates.
Damn, really nice work, man.

You're don't have to like everyone, they all have their flaws and in different situations can become antagonists. But they all have their reasons for doing what they do, none are evil for the sake of being evil (even Ulric).

If the Princess didn't try to take the throne she would have had to essentially do what Enrique and Isabella did and flee the country. If she stuck around she would have either been murdered, imprisoned or used by other people seeking power as a figurehead. So the Vizier really does have her best interests at heart there. Whether it makes her safer, well, let's just say as the end of the game approaches and the stakes become higher, things gets pretty murdery.

Oh, to be clear, that wasn't a criticism of the game, or him as a character; a character doesn't have to be likable to be well-written, after all. My apologies if that was unclear.

As regards the Princess's fate if she didn't try for the throne, though... I guess I just think she'd be better off imprisoned if she was really as incapable as the Vizier believes. At least if we're talking about a sort of "You can never leave this tower again, but we're still going to treat you like royalty" house arrest that someone of her station could usually expect from someone who doesn't hate her guts.

Although... I guess that wouldn't really meet the Vizier's obligation to her family, would it? It's arguable as to whether it'd be better for her personally (she might well consider the idea of being so isolated a living hell, for all I know), but it'd definitely be the end of her family line as persons of any significance. That alone is probably enough for him to encourage her.

Minor bug report: Failing a lust check with Enrique led to the game applying the "anti-savescum" measure for all the remaining weeks until the end of content, making it impossible to continue his questline after a single failed check. (don't know if it is a bug that happens to all his card draws, this one was for after Collette had already showed her breasts)
