Ren'Py Abandoned Patronus [v3.2.72 Final] [DVE Games]

[dvemail]

Excellent game and I am looking forward for the next versions. However can I make some observations, that I think would improve greatly the game. It would fantastic if ou could implemente it step by step

1 - We should always see the progress of slave variables: taboo, nudity body, all of them to control slave progress
2 - We should also see the inlicito, sensitivo variables, mainly because I like to control the progressation of my character
3 - Even if I have high variables, it seems it not assured I have sucess. We should know, when there´s an event, a % of sucess (slave training, rethoric, etc)
4 - We should have the possibility to improve the bordello with carpets, furniture, you name it, and we can buy these itens in the market. Also some high quality closes for the whores
5 - We could hire some men to work as spies, like a spy net and get all kind of information
6 - Later we could provide some whores specific for some clients with some fetishes
7 - We could hire some chefs to provide some exotic foods and drinks to the bordello
8 - We should have the possibility to make orgies and to invite clients and therefore increase the bordello reputation
7 - The possibility each week to reduce our debt
8 - The possibilty to buy a horse, or slave transportation to decrease time travel between provinces
9 - The possibility of pregnancy…

I have a few more ideas, but these 9 would be great.
Again a very good game, and ny only intention is to give you some ideas to make it possibility even better

#1 - Maybe someone will do a mod - I don't agree with showing everything. There are hints in the game for progress.
#2 - Same as #1 mostly, but I'm open to showing something
#3 - All skills are a dice roll against a resistance that lowers chance of success - for basic things the reduction is zero. For other things the reduction is large.
#4 - Yes, this is on its way in a relatively 'soon' version
#5 - Rumors and social in the baths will lead to things like this, but not until late in the game.
#6 - Yes, this is planned
#7 - Also planned (sort of)
#8 - Orgies will be in the villa you buy later on
#9 - Yes, debt repayment will be included soon
#10 - Also in planning
#11 - this is a debate item on the team... we're not sure about including pregnancy yet.

I want to know This version v3.0.3 include sex scenes right? blowjob, rubbing etc.. just like the image dvemail sharing.. Because its weird Fasti told me to "if you find my brother i'll put your thing in my mouth" etc but she does nothing... i'll do everything wait, increase her mood, train her to masterful but can't see her status anymore because i have a another problem its a annoying text problem other people have a same problem too. it says "An exception has occurred" in the bottom so many game codes or something.. anyway Can someone explain this scenes please? it is my main problem.

No, the quest ends prematurely and Fasti is not unlocked correctly in this version. Stay tuned for it to be fixed and updated in the next release in a couple of weeks.

The game is really good in terms of ideas and graphics. But the big problem is bugs and some flaws in the quest script.
There are clues, but some things are hard to find. For example, a quest with Brother Fasti. The first stage of conversation with traders can still be understood. Then the problems begin. There is a clue that you need to meet a person but it is not said where. Why don’t indicate the search location in the hints? After the right person is found and the money paid, strange things happen. A few days after payment, there are no signs or hints where to look for a purchase. As a result, somewhere in a week the brother teleports out of nowhere and accompanies you with a shadow until he comes to the brothel.

All that can be done next is to leave it anywhere, take it with you or sell it, then buy it again. If you bring him to sister and leave them together, then nothing happens. They can be left together or separately, but they do not notice each other for several weeks and the sister asks each week where her brother is (while he is in the same room with her).

There is a feeling that the bought, not her brother and it is not clear where to look for him. In addition, the process begins to bother and I want to wait for a playable version instead of what it is now. I can’t understand what else is needed for them to notice each other.

Bugs occur almost always, sometimes after choosing the "end the day" menu, sometimes if you take someone with you and go with him, a bug may sometimes be critical (when the ignore is not working). Also, with some dialogs in the bath (for example, ask a specific question), the game instantly crashes.
With flogging, a hand or object that strikes is more transparent than the wounds on the body. With some blows, the wound is located above the subject or hand, which beat.

Given the presence of bugs, more precise hints are required to understand the correctness of the actions.
If all bugs are removed and content expansion occurs, the game will certainly be a success

[PrinceV]

Thanks a lot for the reply.
The game idea is excelent and I love the roman historic atmosphere.
Be strong and make sure to endure to criticism, because I believe that it will a smashing game. I will certainly will help you with ideas and concepts, and honest opinion, if you let me, of course.
I cannot wait for the next update.
Continue the good work.

Alright then thank you sir.

Is there any type of a walkthrough? I am kinda stuck on a quest....

damn wtf...

 

[DveTeam]

Seems like its a false positive from some obscure AV engines were looking into what may be causing the issue.

The rhetoric bouts in the senate are hilarious. Marcus:
"My client is honest, handsome and manly, while his accuser is ugly, womanly and petty. My client is innocent!"
And whole Roma after trial praises Marcus for his rhetoric skills.

 

[OS69]

guys how do i unlock quests other than the tutorial one?

There is only one other quest but that is still is not complete, as far as I understood, — Fasti(the ONLY slave that matters as of now, others are without content, except you can beat the german woman) will ask you to look for her brother Ionus. But even if you were to find him, she won't meet him in brothel (there is no code to finish this quest in such way). Somewhere in the thread was written that Fasti can meet him at the farms, but I didn't test that. When Fast will give you this quest I also don't know: maybe after all the grind with her training, or after you beat her enough times.

 

[Syliar]

What's with the file size? It seems pretty unoptimised.

 

[ubblesnop]

I've tried very hard to strike a decent balance between grind and cake.

If this is what you set out to accomplish... well, I admire you for trying to accomplish it? But your game is massively, massively imbalanced toward grind. Probably the grindiest I've played in the last year. Hours and hours of joyless gameplay with very little payoff for it.

It's too bad, really, because the setting has depth and beauty. If cheats were allowed, I'd probably become a Patron. But as it is, I don't consider it a remotely enjoyable experience.

 

[ubblesnop]

I apologize; that came out much harsher than I intended, since you seem to be operating in good faith.

What I'd like you to think about is a master chef. They prepare a meal to perfection. And yet... most of them are OK if the dinner guests want to add a little salt or pepper (or parmesan, or whatever). The question, as a developer/creator, is, does forcing players to play the game exactly as intended matter more to you than the players enjoying themselves?

 

[Monkey Boy]

Maybe it will be less grindy when it's more complete. We don't know what other quests and activities they'll add in as the game's development progresses.

 

[DownTheDrain]

Fasti(the ONLY slave that matters as of now, others are without content, except you can beat the german woman)

Fucking hell, I wish I had known that.
Bought the Barbarian (Inka?) and wondered why I couldn't do a thing with her except ask her random questions and then not understand her answers. Considering how generally unhelpful the game is after the initial intro quest I thought I was missing something there.

Is there anything else worthwhile to do besides training (and punishing) Fasti?
While I love the setting and visuals, the game seems extremely light on actual content so far.

 

[Martin Klovanek]

...

...

Nope, every scene is in /game/videos in webm format.
Kinda disappointed with that as well. Requiring developers to make seperate scenes for every character, means that this will take a hundred years to complete, if it doesnt get abandoned first.

That's a shame.
If it ever gets finished it'll probably take a hundred years to play as well, considering how grindy it feels.

Still, great concept and presentation, I can tell a lot of work went into this. There's just not enough to do (sexually) and the stuff you can do is implemented in a way that doesn't seem particularly fun to me.
