RPGM Rina: Elementalists of Manahold [v0.4.5] [RareRiroRie]
- Thread starter RareRirorie
- Start date
I really like this game, as for the bookkeeper guy, I'd love to have some spellbook shenanigans happen. Something along the lines of accidental transformations. In terms of lines, I was wonndering how you wanted his character arc to be, does he stay with the wife post Rina stuff, or like, will there be a split, possible ending with him? I'm looking forward to how this project goes. Love the work so far.

Futa - possible, I even know exactly what character would get the cock (it wouldnt be Rina), and I guess you know as well, I will see since I dont want the plans to bubble up on me again.
H-scenes during battle - yes, I want Rina to learn "lewd attacks" from Ghund (the 3rd handy she gives to Ghund will unlock the possibility to use combat handy etc.), but more or less pretty darn restricted and as a last resort... lets say a script that checks whether Rina has <20% hp and mana - then she can use the combat thingy + restricted amount of uses per day - the Lust bar basically, which I wanna make... Lets say after Handy is learned and Rina is still pretty pure, she will get 10 Lust to use on combat per day (Lust being basically TP, but it doesnt get recharged any other way than by sleeping) and Handy Cost would be like 5. The more "corrupt" Rina is the more Lust she would get progressively and the lower the hp and mana restriction would be to use it, but still I want it to be rather restrictive and more of last resort (cooming an enemy and slurping up the nutjuice resulting in heal and mana regen + dmg buff) rather than "fuck your enemy to death" kind of deal. Though that said I dont really wanna draw Rina + gobbo combat scenes just yet since I would like to give a facelift to generic gobbos and I would like the Rina poses to be reusable for other enemies, so until I have orcs done, I dont wanna get into the more complex lewd combat positions (handy, titty aint an issue - but lets say cowgirl, I would rather want to know how thick the orc body is compared to gobbos - goblings etc. so I can draw it in a way that would make it reusable for all three... Past orcs, it will be pretty easy to fit pigmen in since they will have similar build...)
Mama Rina - No. I kind of want Rina to be outcast with minimal social contact with anyone "friendly". (Am I self inserting? lmao)
I have a story in mind for him, just not the looks.. But to be fair his eventual design will affect his story a bit. That said I will make a patreon/substar poll similar to how Succy was created, basically a series of polls deciding body build, face, whatever.
I planned on it, seeing that I kinda set it up between the flatchest and the meathead teacher. But now I am pretty much focused on Rina related stuff only.
btw I hotfixed the Ghund hardstuck and the bookstore hardstuck
I agree with whomever said it, the character make no sense as supposedly very intelligent/cold but simultaneously incredibly naive while making retard tier rationalizations. The speed she went from prude to "I have no choice but to let this filthy Goblin rape and cum in me" took like 3 or 4 days, lol. I supposed 20 updates to get to any action at all would be far worse though since this is a porn game.
Positives are decent hot art and fun game mostly. I had a bug where I ended up in the gallery after the Goblin/Succubus scene that resolved itself when i walked back to the goblin's location north of the city.

for the boobjob softlock replace www/data/Map032.json with the attached file, for the baboonian scene seems that if the scene is triggered before collecting all the books Rina is no t respawn in front of the desk which causes the softlock.
I really like this game, the art is good a little too detailed so sometimes it can appear a little grotesque (cocks mainly)
. The Manahold rules and laws fit perfectly for corrupting Rina. Also nice use of chibi avatar to convey emotion and great to see usage of placeholders to keep progressing the story...
Things to "fix":
1. rename the file system/Iconset.png to system/IconSet.png
2. if first time talking with old rat eye, and select no his avatar stucks forever on screen
3. softlock in library if babonians scene triggered before collecting all the books
4. softlock before boobjob scene, after the dialog "We are doing mouth-tits-mana-extraction!" the animation seems skippable: false changed to true and now it plays (but maybe not as intended).
5. image transitions most of the time look like flickering, maybe some kind of fade or overlaying before...
Things I would like
1. use speedlines to give sense of speed, weight of action. Your are using smearing to denote movement and force which is good but I think in addition with some speedlines would reinforce the idea.
2. increase save count to idk 100
3. if there are losing scenes, It would be useful a way to force this, maybe an attack so flashy and absurd that lowers her defense and accuracy to 0.1% but skyrockets her attack. I think it would fit Rina character to have something like this.
4. the librarian should be short and big handed to fit the kind of help her spouse thinks he needs. It would be fun if the librarian had a mechanic like "wile e coyote" making the impossible and convoluted plans (mirrors, smut books, etc) to have his way with Rina but always backfiring in the end.
5. linux build
keep the great work dev!

1. why tho? I mean I am gonna do that just because you say so, but whats the deal with it
2. Gonna check that
3. I think i fixed that in a sneaky update earlier today
4. I think I fixed that as well earlier today (if you are talking about approaching Ghund from the right side)
5. Yea, Im using the same "slot" for imgs, it would probs look more fluid if I used 2 different slots with "show 1 -> show 2 -> erase 1" instead of overwriting the same over and over
1b. agreed, I was kind of experimenting with "dynamics" in the pictures, kinda figuring out a way how to do it. But I've also noticed that they dont seem dynamic enough, thankfully there werent many "dynamic" scenes so far. But going forward I will use the classic tricks in the book to make it seem more alive.
2b. I eventually plan on events being revisitable and balancing the game a bit more (by the way of using combat powerchecks to prevent progression), but I will surely add more mandatory saves just so people dont get goofed on, which is gonna be helpful especially considering my bug record
3b. Ye, I get what you mean. Basically polish the "narrative" of those combat scenes a bit more. I had to start polishing these things anyways (ChibiRinas being one of the polishes). But I wouldnt have paid attention to this, so thanks for bringing it up. I will write it down so I dont forget.
4b. aye, right he does say he needs someone tall.. It would fit if he was a shortie - but there are already two shorter dudes on Rina's list, well I guess I will just leave it up to a pateron/substar poll.
5b. I will do all the deployment builds once I upload a build that I would consider "alright". I mean I dont mind doing Mac/Linux builds, its just a 1 button click after all. But I hope you get my reasoning for not doing them so far.

Dun done did it, sir.
I did a sneaky hotfix like 10 hrs ago, should be taken care of. If I got it correctly the dude stands in the way and cucks Rina up. I've made him take the steps back (well knowing myself, it probs hardstucks the game now lmao)
Ye tbh I found that kind of problematic as well. I didnt want Rina to be stupid, but at the same time I didnt want her to be stuck in handjob cycles until she gets menopause. Would rather get a hardcore content in sooner rather than later. But I am still planning on buffing up Karn (who restricts the whole Old Rat Eye chain) and making him much harder powercheck to get through once there is more content preceeding that (lewd ones: the jobs, Ghund training, Wall Dick OR the non lewd ones like classes where I want to add some more fluff and polish and of course make them less annoying to take altogether). He is "sorta" weak now just because I realize how annoying it would be having to grind through some darnass gobbos and repetitive unpolished classes cycles. Which should in turn make the scene fit better if its not following up coy and shy Rina all goofed up about HJs but if its following up Rina that sucks a cock like a pufferfish eats carrot instead.

Thanks!
Ah and I really thought the IMG at the library job will be with the short skirt also after buying the priestress outfit.
Didn't thought you really change the IMG but hey... good job!

ye, dont even remind me that I will have to draw the eventual 3rd outfit into all the scenes once I settle on the design.Thanks!

yeah sorry, as good practice treat everything (assets, code, filenames, etc) as case sensitive, is going to avoid many file/resource not found problems in the long run (for example mac/linux build heck even sometimes on windows)
that makes sense according to the map file I was looking
Yeah buffering the images with more slots sounds good to avoid this, I think looping the image sequence (1 frame each 2/3 seconds using fading) instead of changing via user input would be more appealing. I didn't want to mention earlier because it means more work but if you are looking dynamism in a efficient manner many some kind of cutout animation or plastic tool on some details (like Rina_hole02 drooling, or flickering the bean on masturbation) would add to the scene, I'm currently using (learning) opentoonz (free) for this kind of effect.
Sure no worries, I sure know how cumbersome workflows can be on this kind of games.

I gotta say I'm really impressed so far. The scene where Rina has sex with One Eye is legitimately good character work even removed from the context of being a porn game. There's a clear setup for the characters' actions. One eye has been disputing the payment and sees an opportunity meanwhile Rina is really eager to prove her worth at the academy so she's tunnel visioning on what is important to her and ignoring another threat entirely. Once she feels like she's in actual danger her survival senses kick in and she decides she has to take control of the situation even if it means doing something she's not comfortable with to not be detected. From this we get that she's composed and reacts quickly under pressure in her own kind of awkward way (Never seen a character in porn react in a similar way.) She's driven and ambitious but prone to ignoring details in favor of the big picture (A great character flaw for getting her in sexual situations) and in some way is willing to make sacrifices in order to succeed (Great for corruption.) More scenes like this, just oozing with personality and taking advantage of unique situations would make this game a classic. By contrast scenes like the worg one feel a bit utilitarian, moving from point A to point B, which is actually totally fine as it is less important than one where we see our main character have sex for the first time (from our POV at least.)
I do have a couple of questions for context though.
First, is she a virgin at the start of the story? If so maybe she could make some reference to it being her first time during the scene.
Second is this the bottleneck scene where she has sex for the first time no matter what or will there be opportunities for her to have her first time elsewhere? I don't particularly mind either way, obviously this story is set up in a way to where she is going to take dick, but it would be neat for there to be a little variance. Perhaps just minor deviations in her internal monologue for her first time in whatever scenes can work out to be the first.

Ayy, thanks a lot, there is a whole lot of fluff and polish missing still, something I need to address. A things in general that would make Rina seem more expressive overall and give a little bit more insight. I have some plans for that already though, one of those plans has already made it in with the Chibis.
Regarding other scenes textwise mainly, I usually have to go many times over one scene to actually settle on text that wouldnt be too... Stupid. Lets call it stupid. haha, so I will revisit Bobby the Worg a good amount of times.
Virginity wise - The whole Old Rat Eye sneak mission, I want it to happen a little bit later on, I just got it in early since I wanted to draw it. But I will "restrict" it behind a bit more of town action. Thats why I didnt address the virginity that much (i know i was fiddling around with trying to ease some kind of virginity dialogue in without being explicit - if I remember correctly) because I would like player to make that choice (willingly or unwillingly) by either doing the Ghund sex first (which I plan to be an unlocker for rest of the vagsex for the rest) or doing the Old Rat Eye mission and losing it "accidentally". I will patch it up with some prereq dialogue once Ghund is up to par story wise. But thats it regarding both the bottleneck and v-card. I will aim it towards Ghund or Old Rat Eye getting it first, I was thinking of letting the rest have the chance as well but that could be a bubble fiesta.
goblins and ugly dudes and shit first and foremost, but we are heading towards the former as well. It will just take some drawing to do. Though as Xhin says, so far.
Gallery barely works, and Ive not updated it in this build. (I want to rework it anyhow, so working on it now wouldnt really ease up the work later on).

Game feels great same art look very nice but wont gonna lie would be great to see more of "real" bestiality than a monster ^^
