[Kaelric]

Oh Lord ! A game in f95 where there's love and not simply sex..... Yikes !

 

[vultron]

How does Emilia even know what cancer is in a medieval society?

How does Emilia even know what cancer is in a medieval society?

It's post-apocalyptic, not medieval. But either way, humans have been diagnosing cancer/tumors since the ancient Egyptians were around.

 

[Glooskabe]

Wholesome handholding sex is unavoidable.

You perv!

 

[Son of Durin]

Wholesome handholding sex is unavoidable.

MC: Uhhhh, thank you for that. It was very nice and relaxing. But that's not what most people expect when someone tells them they're about to get a "hand job"...

 

[Glooskabe]

And there's the ponytail:



Couldn't resist showing off the asset purchase, eh Pandaman Games ?

Well, I, for one, think she looks fabulous!

 

[LadySpider]

This has honestly got to be one of the best games I have played, such a fantastic story and fantastic characters

 

[OmegaZero21]

How far along in the story are we now have we crossed the halfway point yet?

 

[cubba]

MC is kind of a whiny dunce, isn't he? Get's a little annoying.
I hope he gets better.

 

[SaoMunchboy]

Just press ignore and the game runs fine.

Ignore what, when you run the game this is the first and only thing that pops up.

Hi All,

Made a compressed Android port of The Price of Power Ch12. This is mostly for my own use but figured I'd share it with others as well.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

i mean, can you blame him? Lived most of his life alone, then he goes on an adventure with the love of his life, nearly dies, and uterus-eating virus infects the woman he loves, and then, first an arrogant noble piss on his dignity, then he kills him on a duel, then the church didn't like the outcome of the duel and starts to hunt him, the woman he loves, and a new friend he made during the adventure. On top of this, he has an AI in his brain that has several moments when he is annoying, and suddenly he must save the world he knows from the uterus-eating virus that he brought on the island...

Honestly? i don't blame him

Also for those who talked about Eve vs Legacy about what to do with society(if share technology or not) i'm with Legacy, although Eve trying to skip the whole "use charcoal" technological step, it's something that i would let her try.

The philosophic questions raised in this episode are really mind blowing. At first I thought that the church and their conservatism is a bad thing, because using religion to stabilize and enforce practical rules although possibly beneficial in the short term is usually a hindrance in the long term. But after this episode I realized that the prophet is the first person in millennia to found a stable society. So a big problem with religious enforced rules, the inability to adapt to a new situation does not really apply.

So I think it may be the best to let the metal shortage further deteriorate the technological level, because the current system will not survive the strain of a growing sphere of influence. The collapse will give rise to conflict and it is quite possible the last pocket of humanity will be eradicated. The alternative running out of iron is safer, because farming tools, blades and nails dont have to be made of metal and have been only for some centuries. Furthermore the process of running out will be slow, as the society recycles much more and probably only looses metal to wear in the ground.
What do you think?

if we(in the game) could skip the whole part of development that relies on charcoal, petroleum and other flammable resources similar to gasoline, i would approve the technological development, but at the same time, to make some of the equipment to go "solar", requires high temperature furnaces...so it's unavoidable, unless they use the heat of a volcano...somehow..

The problem is that both Legacy and Eve are correct. Humanity can accomplish great things, but it needs to get over itself first, and that's a hell of a mountain to climb. They've already messed up once, you'd think the next time around would be better, but we won't know until we get there.

and Legacy doesn't want to take the risk, because apparently it's not the first civilization to implode and self-destruct over power, technologies and destroying everything that mother nature has to offer...

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

For me, the way I see humanity advencement is inevitable weather AIs are involeved or not. The thing is that with the AIs rather than destroy and kill pointlessly during that redevelopment humans could develop in a safer and more harmonious way. Making something as ubiquitous as plastic is today is a prject of a few generations for the people oof PoP not to mention that The Island probably does not have the manpower alone to do it. No the way I see it humanity would develop slowly but in a more harmonious way. For example smelting Iron, rather than let humans do it willy nilly AIs could make them care about proper ventilation to make sure workers don't die prematurely, teach them about waste management and nudge them in experimenting with more eficient methodologies to lessen the environemental burden. If The AIs don't involve themselves humanity could trash the world worst than we have. In the world of PoP most hydrocarburs have been extracted from the earth, same with rare metals. this could lead to a world in worst shape than it currently is with humans going for tecnologies more damaging to the environment and themselves if left to their own devices.

There is plenty of Oops moments in humanity's history, if the AIs can help dodge those again I see it as a benefit. Especialy since their world is in a more fragile state than ours by what information we glanced from the AIs.

When those errors appear, you usually have on the bottom the option to ignore that crash. I did it and it was running fine.

fair enough, but in game, they will talk about it...

hell, i wouldn't be surprised if the dev would use our conversations as a form of inspiration and quote even just a couple of the lines we wrote here ^^
