I got different errors. All because I used unren. Guess the dev has locked this down. Was going to give it a try, but, it's now a total pass for me.

Um... what is Unren and what does "locked down" mean? Sorry, I suck at coding. I never did anything out of the ordinary with the game files. When a new patch is ready, I simply do a "force recompile", zip the whole thing, and upload.

It was not even in RPA format for me, so I don't know what that issue was.
I downloaded the torrent file from RPDL.
Got an error on running with label s7_event10 defined twice in _adventure_events.rpy, so removed one and runs after that.

Honestly I also have no idea about who or why a torrent was uploaded, that was not me. I recommend downloading from the regular links.

It's a tool used to decompile rpa files and allow us to enable the console.

You're correct. There was no rpa files. I used unren to enable the console.

I’m not a coder either and I tried running that on a non-windows platform (i.e. I tried launching it via the renpy sdk), but the issue seems to be in the attached snippet. I’ve got everything on an external harddisk. Maybe that’s the issue?

reads the overview

Of Devotion and Despondence is a visual novel...

looks at the screenshots...
looks at the tags....

glad the sites mods are not fooled

- Is there going to be incest? Mmmaybe. You can already meet... sort of a mother-figure in the current version, but she's not related to the player.

so glad that was cleared up then

sarcasm aside, can anyone tell me what the visuals are like? those surrounding the more adult type which are not on display in the OP.
as a regular user of this site for years i have limited drive space and only ask if it is worth freeing up the space to download and try rather than wait some for other games to finish.

thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

Some comments:
1. Wish the Refilling Goblet was a camp item instead of an ornament.
2. Wish we could equip more that 1 of each; aka: off, def, and orn.
3. Why can't we equip our residents? Especially since they can net some good equips.

Bugs:
1. No clue why, but when I first tried to load my old save, loads of errors popped up, so just deleted the roaming and started a new game.
Edit: Might have something to do with the new UI/menu, from what traceback indicates.
2. If you equip anything that you have double of, you equip both. Happens both when you have multiple in the inventory or looting another. -- Seems weird, since you're able to smelt 1 at a time.

You're correct. There was no rpa files. I used unren to enable the console.

I just put in a rpy file with

init +1:
    python hide:
        config.developer = True

Works for me.

True. But, I was being lazy. Easier(quicker?) to just drop unren in and run it.

unren may have trouble with newer versions of renpy (8.x iirc). I have observed b0rkage.

There is a version that works well with the newer versions.

 

[ThereAreThoseWhoCallMeDee]

Could someone give a rough estimate to how much gameplay there is?

About an hour, at this point. Mostly depends on how you read.

1 and 2 are mostly due to balancing. As for 3, I do have plans to make girls more involved with gameplay - although I'm more leaning toward bonuses/skill trees. But who knows, there's a small chance I can make items work for them without too many bugs.

1. Yeah I would assume most patches are not compatible with old saves since I'm constantly re-writing and messing around with the code, adding new variables, etc.
2. This is a bug that has been giving me a headache since the very beginning. Still don't have a fix for it. BUT with the newest patch you can smelt down the duplicates so it shouldn't be an issue, I hope.

Ehh, don't think the goblet would be all that much, but *shrugs* no clue how you want the game to be played/progress.

Probably going to annoy a bunch of peeps, since now they'd hafta restart every time there's a new release.

With my bare understanding of coding, it might have to do with how you named the items and/or coded how equip works. Eg. The equip are labeled/named the same, thus the program thinks it's 1 object, or something, and places it accordingly. But it also knows to keep it separate. Might be better to just change how it's categorized, so it's something like Sapphire x2, or something, so only 1 is in active use.

TLDR: Dup items have same label, thus equipped as if all one item. By changing how the games label it, such as making it number them, it should stop equipping more than 1.
Eg. Travelling boots 1 and 2 vs two travelling boots.

I love where this game is going. keep it up!

 

[lostscot]

Good news is that I already have a growing library for the first character who I can't wait to write events for.

Can you make a 32-bit version so us Mac users can play it via the porting kit?

Do you have an older version of the game anywhere on your PC? When playing new versions I would recommend deleting old versions and starting a fresh game. Hopefully that fixes it.

Hello!
Thanks for the quick reply.
I just downloaded the game yesterday opened it, read almost all the intro and had to go out. When I came back I accidentaly hit my external drive (where I store all my games) and the game closed, then couldnt enter again. Just redownloaded it and deleted the previous one. It's working now.
Will try the game later.
Thank you!
Keep up the good work
