VN Ren'Py Price of Power [Ch.25] [Pandaman Games]

[Canto Forte]

Savage beasts are the wolves .. they would rip you open in an instant.
Tales about some monsters the size of a pile of wolves do not feel that far fetched or unrealistically
heard of by a camp fire, in some drunkard tale tale or talks about whatever.

 

[hagare]

ooh right. This is on steam.
Well I know what to buy on my next steam spree

 

[Pandaman Games]

Easily the best chapter so far.

I agree - glad you enjoyed it!

certain parallels to Horizon: Zero Dawn. Intentional?

Not intentional, since PoP's universe has existed in my head well before that game was released.

Ehh... I'd much rather have her explore literally an entire planet's worth of landmass.

Trust me, there's lots of exploring to come.

Hopefully, Emilia won't be a pillow princess like you

It's more a case of not knowing what to do and believing that she's "supposed" to be passive. That's how they would have been raised/taught - men do the thing, women get the thing done to them. Once they learn for themselves, however... Maria's not the type of woman to sit back and let things happen. Unless she wants to, of course.

the modern AVN distilled into its purest, most basic form

Exactly! I figured that I needed to have at least one reference to standard AVNs, just for the fun of it.

Haha, that makes sense Looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops in the future.

The update was really nice. Liked it a lot. Now I am curious how and when two provinces merge and not even with the one you firat think of looking from the outside in our world.

But:Is it normal that I fear for Emilianne now that she is alone in an Inn in the vilage?

Imagine the 3 dollars is the last that you need to eat or get your meds that keep you live.

Yes, imagine all those people who are down to their last 3 dollars, at the edge of death, and must - absolutely must - have access to this particular porn game right this second! I'm sure there are millions of them

 

[Pandaman Games]

Imagine the 3 dollars is the last that you need to eat or get your meds that keep you live. Imagine thinking your above having your stuff leaked on a pirate site. Maybe pull your head out of your rear and go outside get some fresh air because smelling your own farts are killing your brain cells.

I grew up below the poverty line for my entire childhood, so I am aware of what money is worth, thank you very much. I was one of the kids counting nickels and dimes to see if I could afford to take the bus home in the rain or if I was just going to need to deal with getting soaked. That's why I'm determined to make a decent living for myself and my family. I spend at least 30 hrs/week plus thousands of dollars of my own money in order to make this game. Fun fact: after all income/expenses were calculated, I lost over $2000 USD last year while making the game just in calculating income vs expenses, without taking any profit from the game whatsoever.

I'm charging a minimum of $3 for early access (because let's be real, this game is about to be leaked any second now) to something I spent a huge amount of time, effort, and money on. That's a fucking steal, dude. If you haven't got $3 to support the game, then either wait until someone leaks or (and this is the better idea) go figure out your financial situation. Don't waste your time whining about when a game is going to be leaked if you haven't got $3 to your name. You have much bigger problems than that.

tldr - if you don't have $3 to your name, stop qqing on porn pirate sites and go figure your shit out

Devs as active as Pandaman in this community are worth their weight in gold.

Amen to that. It's people like Pandaman, and Droid Productions, and Zanith, and many others that outright make me want to at least repay their goodwill with a bit of patience. I mean, it's not exactly difficult to just do literally anything else for a few weeks.

... That said, sometimes I just get excited to see an update on the front page and download/play it before I realize it was an early leak. Sorry about that.

People are going to pirate games - that's just a fact of the industry. I'm not mad at people for playing a pirated version of PoP, but if you can afford to support the game, then you should. If you're unable/unwilling to support, then just wait for a leaked version - I'm not upset about that, hence why I'm active here. But being angry at a developer for asking people to wait for a public release... That's some AAA-grade stupid right there. I don't know of any other professions where people will actually flame you for not doing your job for free. Some people act as if they think they're owed my time, money, effort, etc. for the honor of them skimming through my game so that they can comment "not enough tits, needs ntr 1/5". Forget about the fact I spend hundreds of hours devising plot lines, outlining everything, making renders, posing animations, etc. Coomer pirates need the game right now so that they can Tab through the whole thing in 5 minutes and leave a dumb comment or idiotic review that shows they lack even an elementary understanding of what the game is.

Quite fortunately, most people in this thread aren't like that and are quite nice, reasonable people with interesting ideas and takes on the game, but Bryon... Bryon is definitely one of the coomer pirates. Only a linguistic legend like Bryon could come up with a line like this:

Maybe pull your head out of your rear and go outside get some fresh air because smelling your own farts are killing your brain cells.

GG Bryon, you witless wonder. You managed to make an ass out of yourself (pun intended) and make me look sympathetic simultaneously. It takes truly coomer-level skills to say something and achieve the exact opposite of what you intended. I hope you'll rethink the life choices that led you to the point of QQing on a porn game pirate forum and try to do better in the future. Given that it sounds like you only have $3 to your name, I imagine there's not a lot of room for you to be doing worse.

 

[Pandaman Games]

Oh look, someone posted the new update of the game approximately 72 hours after Patreon/Steam release. Enjoy.

 

[Pandaman Games]

Nice, I'll use those 3 Dollars for a sandwich instead.

You can still feel free to support the game. But if those happen to be your last three dollars (which is apparently a common thing), then that's a good idea and you should make sure to get some food.

 

[shebs021]

I haven't played the game but you got yourself a sub, that whole exchange was hilarious.
Might as well dload the game now that I paid for it...

 

[Kassan06969]

Shouldn't this have the "fantasy" tag?

 

[Pandaman Games]

Shouldn't this have the "fantasy" tag?

It's not really a fantasy game... Have you played through yet? If so, what aspects of the game make it fantasy?

 

[underoath27]

Pandaman Games public release? When will it be? I won't download till public version.

 

[Deleted member 15555]

Patreon is minimum $3/mo, though higher tiers get more benefits of course. Steam is $15 once. Both are very good prices for ~10hr of content and only being 1/3rd of the way done with the game.

It will be much better if this game did not have those "humanoid" whatever thingys , is the most immersion-breaking I have ever seen in a game.

Shh. There's nothing so far to say that dragons from space won't appear sometime soon.

 

[NyVar]

Cannot wait to play this update Thanks, Dev!

 

[Content_Consumer]

Pandaman Games Hey just a quick note;



One doesn't "find" steel, its an iron/carbon alloy at a minimum and also often with other minerals [cobalt, vanadium, chromium, silicon, nickel, manganese and so on.] too to create different kinds of steel.
I only mention this because an incredibly advanced AI should already know this and naturally speak with a certain level of precision.

It might be better for Legacy to say "find iron and other minerals" or something like that.

 

[ItsNotMeToo]

Hello! Saw this was recently updated on the latest games and was already on my watch list, so I'm curious - how much sexual content is there? I'm all for waiting on slow burn games to develop, but would rather wait until there's reasonable payoff before diving in.
