Ren'Py Abandoned Princess Tower [v0.12.public.3] [Euphemismus]

[Zaq Reman]

I think I'm stuck. I wanted to go chains path, spent my initial upgrade on talking about storming out, then bought the warning upgrade. I don't have enough to unlock the talk that moves the plot forward and I can't figure out how to get 2 infractions to let me earn more chains.

 

[cooperdk]

Only spanking and groping (no sex)? Pass!

 

[Euphemismus]

question in terms of pathing: is the magics and mountain copper quest supposed to launch twice if you elect to raise heart to 1 immediately after raising chain to 1, or vice versa? it seems like there's an assumption in the quest logic that you won't do that even though there's nothing forbidding it mechanically.

anyway it didn't seem to break anything by doing so but it did repeat scenes.

It's suppoed to sort of... "stay launched" instead of launching twice. The logic should account for that, and I did test it, but I'll have to review if I missed anything.

You have something really special starting here. The combination of trainer and touch-feel elements are something I've wanted to see for a long time. Writing is obviously, as many have said, top notch, the girl is cute, and the game is well paced. Keep it up dude!

Also, I got an error message when I pulled Ari's skirt back down during a quest event. Don't remember which one but it was relatively early in the game I believe.

Thanks a lot! I'll take a look if I can reproduce the error you describe.

If you talked about storming out, then that conversation should immediately add 2 infractions on conclusion that stick around until you reach ⛓ level 1.

so far seems like a good game

It left me with 3 Chains, but out of curiosity I then spent 2 unlocking warnings, leaving me with 1, not enough to unlock either the chastity belt convo or the daily tasks that it turns out could also give me more chains. It's easy enough to avoid now that I've played a bit more, just unlock daily tasks ASAP, but does seem possible to get stuck if you're suboptimal enough.

Oh, you can earn additional chains fragments (the little currency with the green square) through punishment, infinitely, and from there you can purchase the warning punishment which allows infinite heart fragments. Suboptimal play can need a bit of grinding (which is purposeful design - an optimal grindless path should also be possible), but it shouldn't get permanently stuck.

Hey, just wanted to drop by and give props for how startlingly well written this is. Powerplay isn't even a kink of mine and this kept me keen from start to finish simply by virtue of its good, clear and ultimately concise text. Really impressed.

 

[ThalesTR]

This is geniunly such a great game, I've never been into Powerplay or submissives, but this is so fun to play, I'm a fan of the teasing rather than just going to sex right off the mark since it helps build up the final pay-off, Can't wait to see more, I really hope you get much more attention and support to this great game

In that situation I couldn't get infinite fragments through punishment, because her max pain was 3 and I had level 1 chains and could generate 1 infraction on-demand. Couldn't unlock her refusing to show her panties to get 2 infractions in a day and let me max out that gauge.

 

[mczdeb]

How to obtain chains fragments? I can't stock infractions, every morning they count drop to 0. In tutorial mentioned that I need to punish her with 3 infractions to earn chains fragments. I need them to talk about chastity belt. Hearts fragments are way easier to obtain. I have both hearts and chains on lvl 1.

 

[Euphemismus]

mostly bug fix right ?

Yup, v.0.9.1 is basically all bugfixes.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you appreciate my attempts to be concise.

That's the second post in a row saying they liked the game despite not being into it's kinks, thanks, I consider that a very significant compliment.

You're right, I've introduced an issue with v.0.9.1 which causes the "please stop, also here's a bunch of chains fragments" interjection to never show up (by fixing a different thing). This will be fixed in v.0.9.2, which, I think, will be released tomorrow.

See above.

To anyone stuck on this, you can open console with shift+o and copypaste "fragments["chains"] += 1" (without the outermost quotation marks) to add a chains fragment (or more, if you change the number in that line). This also works as a cheat, if you like - the other fragments can be added with "fragments["heart"]" and "fragments["coins"]".

I'm so glad I enabled the console for non-developer-mode...

 

[Some guy's account]

Just played through the rewrite. Really good stuff, the new chain/heart system makes much more sense to me. Writing still very good.

0.9.1 bug
I reported it in 0.9
Clock bug (Upgrades)

 

[drhotrod]

That hand rubbing tool is so frustrating, can something be done to make it easier to use.

 

[Brady2626]

i feel the action commands for punishment could probably be reworked and add some arrows or what ever clearly telling you what you need to do

 

[Shipfu]

That hand rubbing tool is so frustrating, can something be done to make it easier to use.

Its easy to use imo, you better play more touching games then.

 

[ThalesTR]

It's not that bad, It's pretty easy to use, Just need to hover over once or twice. It doesn't need to be fixed tbh
