Honestly, I'd like the pre-dragon-invasion 'republic' to get some more spotlight and details. But the game is already overloaded with all kinds of event branches that need care and watering, and what people love about it tends to be the personal focus on the dragon.

People everywhere want peace and prosperity. If the dragon gives them that, they will find an excuse for his cruelty. "He's a dragon, he can't help his nature!"

This is my assumption, but it seems logical:

The republic is an empty title invented by Balthorne to legitimise his power. He is only regent, ruling in the name of the princess until Adeline comes of age. He has no right to the throne, the people would not accept it, so he does not crown himself king. (With only a few years to remove people loyal to the royal family, his power is confined to the palace. The princess was not imprisoned or killed until our appearance. Balthorne is forced to act in secret, so he sends hunters after us instead of an army.)

Exactly! That's what Cromwell did as well. He captured Charles I. and had him executed. Afterwards, he declared the English Republic, aka. the Commonwealth, which slowly turned into a puritan dictatorship with Cromwell as “Lord Protector”. It's the same with Ravager's Republic and Balthorn as “Regent”.

Cromwell didn't try to eat his cake and have it too. He offed the King, had a civil war to cement his power, politicked the Parliaments into inefficiency or just disbanded them, even turned down the crown. Exemplary dictator behaviour.

Balthorne seems to just sit there, take in the benefits of being the Regent, consolidate his power as every new ruler does. Pretty much the only thing that hints at a major upheaval is the 'republic', and that seems to be just empty air for the most part. Tell me, was Anne of Austria a dictator? Because Balthorne doesn't seem to do half of what she did, and the monarchy continued just fine under and after her.

Maybe he does pull off a Cromwell off-screen. But right now, it looks like fanfiction to me. Maybe what happened or didn't happen will never be revealed and that's all we'll ever have. :cautious:

But isn't the Easter Bunny all about hiding eggs? :unsure:

That said, I would instead hide some eggs inside Darja; if you catch my drift. :cool:

Lubbio continues to furnish us with a glorious medley of remastered art, new variations, and - perhaps most excitingly - art for our upcoming scenes in Act V. Including this fabulous opportunity to catch up and down/insert a few pints with Cooch at the local tavern.

Just... just pay the man a beer for us, would you ? Guy's a freaking hero for redoing old art on top of new one.

Dev Notes

  • Our upcoming major update is beginning to take shape! But it is not yet finished, so here’s some pretty things for you to enjoy in the meantime.
  • MVP of this build is Amon Ra, for making us another beautiful animated scene, and a whole host of new character animations.
Features

  • Scene: During Chanwe’s conversion, you have the opportunity to take her down a different path (Dreamweaver choice).
  • Art: Heloise’s wolf tribe fate (Lubbio).
  • Art: Variations for Mina’s ‘paying rent’ scenes for her other states of dress (three variants, Lubbio).
  • Art: Naho’s various doggy-style activities, remastered (many variants, Lubbio).
  • Art: Shock and pain emote portraits for Chanwe (three variants, Irrelevant Art).
  • Animation: Heloise’s fall from grace, animated (four variants, Amon Ra).
  • Animation: Chanwe’s idle animations, broken variant (Amon Ra).
  • Animation: Chanwe’s idle animations, nude variant (Amon Ra).
  • Animation: Cuchilla’s idle animations, remastered (two variants, Amon Ra).
  • Animation: Cuchilla’s idle animations, stripped variant (Amon Ra).
  • Animation: Zizeryx’s idle animations, censored variant (Amon Ra).
  • Voice: Darja’s kobold fate (Suki).
  • Voice: Darja’s wolf tribe fate (Suki).
  • Voice: The rest of Maelys’s plan to Fix Everything (Catkit).
Tweaks

  • Translations that have fallen out of date, and which we have nobody available to maintain, have been removed from the game’s options. If you would like to help translate Ravager into your native language, please volunteer on our Discord server!
  • It is no longer possible to make a choice in Power Fantasy mode that will result in a game over.
  • Chanwe will not engage in a post-conversion dickfest unless you encourage her to do so.
  • Chanwe’s post-conversion discussion will take into account the circumstances of her conversion.
  • You may tell Heloise you have a history of impregnating others, even if such previous efforts were abortive.
  • Maelys’s outdated nude sprite has been deprecated, in favour of her ‘stripped’ sprite.
  • Maelys’s plan to Fix Everything has been added to the Gallery.
  • Rhyll makes it clearer that he expects to be paid in more than just glory or power.
  • You do not need to visit captive Marie-Anne before sending her to Breaker’s chamber.
  • You do not need to strip Mina on the roads if you plan to exact an alternative toll.
  • Stage direction during Mina’s paizuri scenes has been adjusted slightly.
  • Zizeryx has got its censor bar back, if you’re playing with Intersex content disabled. If you have Intersex content enabled, Ziz still appears in its full glory.
Fixes

  • Chanwe’s repeat lessons are labeled more accurately.
  • Minor clipping issues on the kobold guard animations have been removed.
  • Repeatedly visiting Malagar no longer puts you at risk of a recursion error.
  • Malagar will not wake up the player at the beginning of Act IV, or present his plans for the swamp at the war council, if you have mistreated his niece.
  • Malice’s introductory dream cannot be seen if her mother is dead.
  • After storming off in the wake of the Other Heist, Mina will no longer come crawling back as though nothing has happened.
  • Mina will get properly messy after paying her toll on the roads.
  • Naho names herself more consistently if first encountered during Act IV.
  • Naho can be sent to Breaker’s chamber if you captured her during Act IV.
  • Text pauses more consistently appear after their attendant full stop.
  • Assorted improvements to text, grammar, and stage direction.
  • And everything found in the playtest. Thank you, playtesters!

I clicked the anonfiles, and it automatically downloaded a file named raver.zip.iso or something like that, had to eject the "cd" to delete it.

Anonfiles seems to be less than trustworthy lately. Lots of people having issues with it. I'd recommend not using that one, just to be safe.
