VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.5.1] [BuuPlays]

[jadepaladin]

There are differences. Both in the story and obviously in the assets. Story-line concepts do not belong to anyone. Copying and adapting good ideas is how humanity got to where it is today. "Monkey see, monkey do" is the mantra of human progress and the foundation of EVERY good work of fiction in human history. If you're so upset about it feel free to stop playing the game. But I'm guessing you're still gonna play the game even though you're complaining.

One update shouldn't make or break your desire to play the story unless it's so feasibly bad that it crosses into Dual Family nonsense.

This update was fun. This update was also a huge wink, nod, and nudge to Lust City. How many coincidences have to happen before you stop and go "wait, this is exactly like Lust City?" The main thing missing is the family relation. Sofia is Pearl, Arya is Echo, etc. Pearl's sex scene at the tree after they ate the berries is almost verbatim the scene that happens with Sofia. The MC is chained up and has a tense confrontation with guards before the leader steps in and dismisses them. The priestess is hostile. I could go on and on but to summarize, this update was a copy of LC and that's fine.

Eternum did something similarly with a Stanley Parable section recently. It was divisive, as most VN things are, but it didn't straight up copy the plot. It took the mechanics of SP and fit it inside Eternum's characters. That's doing a reference right.

Gotta say. Not sure why anyone would like this update. Rin met up with the MC? Nope. We went on a date with Luna? Nope. We went on a contract with Eliza and Alice? Nope. Learned about the other Gods in the Nephilim world? Nope. We created a stronger guild with Sylph? Nope. We progressed our understanding of Lucid? Nope. Grown closer to Maia? Nope. Grown closer to Amelia? Nope. Revealed the relationship with Lux and Taran? Nope.

Overall this was just a pandering update with Lust City. Seems like a marketing ploy. I find it disappointing.

Luna's teacher?

Sorry too many updates ago... Thanks for the help!

It's not just that. The entire plot is ripped off of TLC. MC gets lost in the jungle, gets captured by tribe of women, befriends the queen of the tribe, the head priestess tells a story of how men abused the tribe and then tosses MC down a hole in the temple, where he encounters an ancient relic... it keeps on going. Sex hut with the maidens? Check. Young huntress in training plot line? Check. Escape the dungeon to find the girlfriend hiding outside? Check. Herbalist becomes besties with girlfriend? Check. GF, herbalist, and two huntresses go out on a quest? Check. Evil dude hanging out in the jungle waiting to get revenge on the women? Check. It's the whole god damned plot of TLC.

It's fine for me as long as lesbian is avoidable in this game. I had to drop TLC because of the forced lesbian scenes.

Just found out the duke knox multi-mod screws up the game. Can't save and get a traceback error even though it says the mod supports the current version of the game. Or it could be something completely unrelated.

After reading through the thread it seems like I never even got to play the new update before dropping it lol. I was still playing 0.5 and the diana situation was enough for me cause apparently the mc being Nephilim genuinely doesn't mean shit.

Blowdarts? He genuinely loses to blowdarts? As a setup for a whole another random storyline that's apparently plagiarized?

 

[quicksilver384]

same for me. I did manage to save once or twice but now I can't load the game without the mod. :-(
EDIT:
Just found the post for hotfix to knox mod. So far seems to let me load and save no problem.

Can I ask a really dumb question? Why is everyone installing the URM mod rather than just opening the console to set variables, etc?

 

[robrize2169]

a bit disappointed by this update. still love the game, but..the jungle story is pretty much identical to The Lust City storywise. and although i have not finished that game, this part of that story i have already played. is the dev getting lazy? or is his/her plan to just rip the storylines from other cool games?

 

[indio68]

great update, finally a big one ..even it reminded me a lot about another VN i played and liked :The Lust City....can't wait for next update..i love this game...and one o the best MC off all the VN here...both for the look and the cooliness

there is really no need for a wt mod, cuz all important choice are already highjlighted by the game itself...i used to install it before but now it's a bit that i not and i don't miss it cuz it's useless...so less save game issues too.

Ahh fair enough. Thanks.

I really wish the characters would solve immediate crises and THEN celebrate with sex. It makes them seem so stupid, unfocused and careless to indulge themselves so much in moments of potential danger. It also undermines the seriousness of what you're telling us is a threat in that moment.

WTF. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. If the characters themselves won't take things seriously, how can the readers be expected to?

For me the only interesting bits in the last 3 updates have been the bits with Eliza in them. I absolutely do not care about the pirate girls, or the new admiral or the island girls or anything that’s happening on this “adventure” at all, in any way. These updates could have been 90% shorter and actually would have been better for it in terms of the story.

Same here couldent care less about the pirate girls or the island tribe girl stuff and the new admiral i just wanted to kill lol....

I want to get back to what really counts, aka Eliza and my little fairy girl, if it has to have some adventure stuff then do the guild quest stuff instend, then MC wouldent have to be away for ages time and time again.....

I think Buu is trying to cater to too many groups that want different things. At the start, it seemed like it was going to be this serious, revenge driven story. Around the time Eliza gets maimed by Taron, the tone shifts a bit. Around chapter 5, the tone shifts even harder. We now have what is supposed to be a serious story juxtaposed with the silliness of Grandma's House and the MC getting his dick wet every time he turns around, collecting LIs like they are Pokemon. If anyone is still taking it serious, I would have thought this last update (the Lust City parody) would have been the final nail in the coffin.

If you like this balancing act Buu is trying to do, it's fun. Otherwise you're just gonna end up disappointed.

What even is the difference between all these women after the initial “conflict” stage. At this point I want the MC to have fights with men, because at least then there might be the potential of someone ending up dead.

I saw a lot of whining, moaning and complaining about similarities between the content in this update and The Lust City. I love The Lust City but the dev there did not invent the hidden city filled with women. Anyone ever hear of Tarzan? Greek mythology?

I think that if that was where the similarity ended, people wouldn’t have had a problem with it.

About the twins achievement, I looked at the chapter 6 part 1 files and the variable twins is not set in the v5.0 file. So when the dev says to go back and play the achievement again, he means go back to before sex with Pearl and if you were also on Kira's path, the twins variable is set to true in the v5.1 chapter 6 part 1 file. I didn't check if it was added as a default of false in some other file.

I would say if you want to be on both paths and you played through the end of v5.0, you will be missing the twins variable and need to play the Pearl sex scene again. If you are not on Kira's path, there is no need to replay.
