VN Ren'Py Ravager [v5.3.0] [4MinuteWarning]

The H-Dev's Curse
We get knocked down, but we get up again.

People frequently speak, in various shades of suspicion and superstition, of the H-dev’s curse - the tendency for developers in our space to fall afoul of variously awful and improbable fates. I think the most compelling explanation is that crises sometimes befall all of us; it is only when you have a large project that anyone else notices you’re taken out of commission for a while.

Working as a team provides a healthy buffer against that. The Ravager crew have individually sustained various slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune over the years, and our peers have picked up the slack until normality reigns again. But lady luck is fickle, and there is always a chance that she hits the core team with six unrelated crises in one month. It has not been a kind month.

It would be possible to pull out all the stops, chug all the coffee, and do our damnedest to pretend that nothing has happened – but that kind of crunch would mean making sacrifices on quality, as well as degrading our ability to continue work past the release of Chapter Two. Neither of those are acceptable to me, so instead I’m here doing the thing I never want to do, asking for your patience.

There will be no update this month; there has been plenty of progress on many fronts, but it isn’t ready for primetime just yet. That also means that Chapter Two won’t arrive to meet my original goal of “first half of 2024”, which is on me. As soon as the remaining fires are stamped out and I have a good sense of our new momentum, I’ll get you a revised goal that I can be firmly confident in.

Thank you for all of your support thus far and, I hope, your understanding. I’ll be in the comments if anyone has questions for me.

Lol, As if I knew that, I have WT from 5.1.5 stored in my word document. Of course without images, but still.

The point, highlighted: There will be no update this month.

If I understand correctly, they had a crappy month. They could release an update, but not to a very high standard.

Lots. There's also a lot of content that's dependent on which of the three possible locations you chose for your lair, so it's arguably a good idea to play through the game three times choosing a different lair for each one.

Is there a fan art page for Ravager?

 

[lolwhatxd]

Pretty cool game .

 

[slootapp]

In one of the wildlands scenes with the wolfgirl there's a typo in the script that causes a crash. One of the logic checks uses 'persisent' instead of 'persistent'.

Is there a fan art page for Ravager?

I have seen a couple of fanarts in the Ravager Steam group. Even posted it here awhile ago. Less than a dozen pictures, and that's the whole sum of what I've found.

does anyone know what aspect of this game has earned it the mind control tag, and are we the controlled or the controller?

The inquisitrix controlls you

It's very limited stuff, and we are the controlled. Basically, there is dragon-control-magic known by a select few. Heloise can do it before we fuck her, and controls us for maybe a minute. Adeline can do it, too, but I don't think she uses it (or maybe she does, and we just don't know).

Noooooo

It's implied Marie-Anne also partially knows it too if you see the Song's reactions and the shock with Adeline if you tell her that, bu Marie seemingly doesn't know entirely (and sees it as just a harmless song) nor has any real desire to do anything with it.

Valzira also knows it too.

Noticed that the latest version includes Steam DRM, just drag and replace files into main folder, and it should launch right away.

Steam Fix

(Detections are false positives, the unpatched exe also gets flagged.)

If you want to bypass the DRM yourself, just use steamless and goldberg emu.

Thank you.

Is there a "best" lair to choose or does the choice not really matter? I played a bit of this game around a year or two ago and swear I remember the spire being the best for some reason.

Not really? mechanically they are all the same, lose 1 possible harem member (Priestess, Heloise, or Valzira) for a new horde.

Spire is arguably the "lesser evil" because it's just Malagar, just some guy compared to eldritch horrors and demons, plus the location itself is well a spire so actual proper housing lol.

I believe though that Spire does make the Wolfmen bribeable with gold so instead of harem members you can give gold for morale.

Cool, I'll go with the spire then. Thanks for the quick answer.
