VN Ren'Py Rise of the Crime Lord [v0.12b Alpha 2 Extended] [IziRider]

she will cheat mc if chooses that.

and therefore you are also on the thought, that if we deal with the plot of a Boss, it is not acceptable to forgive her, nor even to make friends with Argay, Rick could accept the moment's help from the two, but with the idea, that once the game is over, Rick got what he needs from the two traitors, then eliminate them, this, yes, it would be a worthy continuation of the mafia plot, but these are just my considerations, it's all in the hands of the Dev, I repeat, it would be that little flaw that would give one less vote to the game, a real shame.

I know there are still two days left in the month, but I thought it would be better to bring it forward. So, it's the end of the month, but still no Chapter 10 Alpha 2. Sadly, I will not release it this week. Unfortunately, this month has been a real emotional rollercoaster with very good and very bad news and events. This also meant that, contrary to my plans, I wasn't able to work every day as I would have liked to, so I slipped a bit on the finishing touches. I apologise for that.

Fortunately, it's really only a small delay, so you don't have to wait another month. Next week, the chapter on Cora and Argay's weekend together will be release. I'm actually going to finish Chapter 10 Alpha 2 this month, I'm dating this for Sunday. I just want to do some more tests afterwards, because while translating I noticed that I messed up the code here and there, and somehow I managed to forget to make some pictures (these are typically on the Miranda-Rick thread, which was a challenge on all fronts). I also made some changes during translation, which I still need to test.

So, to give you a concrete date: Friday 5 July.


And then a quick word about the Alfa 3. This chapter was planned to deal with the "Rick stays at home" thread, followed by the Cora-Daniel, Cora-Miranda and Cora-Beth thread in Alpha 4. Now, these threads will not be deleted, of course, they will be done. However, I don't want to waste your time with just Chapter 10 next year, so I'm going to start working on Chapter 11 in parallel with Alpha 3.

I looked through my notes and it turns out that Cora and Argay's relationship doesn't affect any of the events in Chapter 11. The only thing that matters from Chapter 10 is whether or not Cora helps Rick get the casino. This decision, however, can be made at Jake's (if Rick went over to them at the end of Chapter 9), but it is already made in Alpha 1. Or Cora can make that decision on the plane. This scene is also essentially done now in Alpha 2, I'll just have to add Daniel, Beth or Miri to the scene.


The point: Alpha 3 will have the whole "Rick stays at home" thread, and it will include the Cora-Daniel/Miri/Beth thread up to the point where the pair arrive on the island. If I see that I'm making good progress with the threads, I will of course continue with all three, focusing primarily on the Daniel thread, because I see a lot of interest in the trainee.

So this year I would like to publish Alpha 3 and Chapter 11 together. Hopefully I can make this happen. Fortunately, Chapter 11 really isn't long, and it's mostly set in locations I've used a million times, so I don't have to build from scratch.

So the most important thing is that Chapter 10 Alpha 2 arrives on Friday.

Until then I thank you for your kind words, your honest criticism and thank you very much to my patrons for their support. And I'm still available on

Just ignore the fellow, he thinks on a complete random tangent. Wants NTR but after seeing Cora fuck other men, then wants to kill the wife.

I simply explained how life as a boss works, I said that the game is beautiful, but I specified that in the path of Cora's betrayal, the most realistic thing to do was for Rick to take revenge, but instead he unites with Cora and her lover to have favors, this was the thought, you cannot have Cora as a traitor in a path without the consequences, or you can choose to have Cora who does not betray, my reference is only to the player's choice, nothing impossible or not true, then the Dev chooses what he wants, but he would make a small plot error. that's all

Your game is perfect, well written, but I want to ask a question, the choice you gave on Cora, you wrote a nice mafia plot, then, according to mafia rules, the path that Cora betrays must have a tragic ending and progression , Cora and Argay, have to die, after Rick gets what he wants. this is the most real thing on that path. at least, for me, and for the mafia plots, thanks

Some time ago I asked the same thing, the answer a player gave me was the following, apparently in the WT there was a hint that said that she could be killed in divorce path, although at that time I looked at the WT I don't remember seeing those hints , I don't know if they are there now or maybe I overlooked them. (certainly the only reason I see this thread is to see if we can actually kill her, because being a "crime lord" and letting a cheater live doesn't make much sense , or if by choosing that will result in a stupid game over for the Mc )

The walkthrough gives some hints regarding what consequences may result from certain paths in the game as well as what those paths are. Even if you don't want to follow the walkthrough it is worth your time to read these initial notes.

Only one situation of Rick and Argay being friend forever that make sense: Cora and Rick are still together either on Cora faithful or NTR path and Cora don't fuck/mess with Argay.

 

[Izirider]

I would like to add two things:
First, my statement "friends forever" was meant as a joke, not to be taken literally. Rick wants an alliance with Argay, but the ultimate goal of this alliance is the same as the Novelli family have partially achieved and the Romanovs desire: absolute control of Argay's casino and hotel. What will happen to Argay? Well, like many things in this game, it depends on the decisions you have already made and the decisions you will make in the future.
The second, Cora's fate: the consequences of certain decisions can be summed up by this quote from Batman Begins: "I won't kill you. But I don't have to save you."

 

[alex2372]

I thank the Dev enormously for his explanation, now everything makes sense, and honestly, after creating this perfect game, I wouldn't have thought that I would make a mistake, now I repeat, thank you, and I look forward to the sequel, good work

 

[Chimba]

Well, that's really disappointing, I thought it was going to be at the hands of the Mc, so the option is going to be to not help her at some point?

 

[cxx]

easy to guess what happens to casino.

rick will own it sooner or later.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

Well, that's really disappointing, I thought it was going to be at the hands of the Mc, so the option is going to be to not help her at some point?

I certainly hope not....id never play a playthrough where Cora is permanently gone.

Not sure what's in the cards for this update, been awhile since I played, I would love to see one optional path where something like Cora ends up going with Argay alone, screws him and then screws him over after gaining his trust in the long run, that'd be great and very Cora-canon-appropriate for her character.

 

[Chimba]

I certainly hope not....id never play a playthrough where Cora is permanently gone.

Well, in my case I never liked Cora from the first moment she appeared, so the only path I'm (or was) waiting for is one where the Mc kills her or gets rid of her in a satisfactory way, but I guess with the answer that the dev gave that is never going to happen, it seems that the Mc is simply not going to have the balls necessary to do the job, and is going to leave it in the hands of others, I don't see the fun in that. (For the record, the last time I played this was in 2020 and I simply followed the thread because I thought that would be possible, but with the clarification from the dev it is clear that it is not)

how can anyone not like cora? Her character is like the ultimate partner in crime!

I don’t know what she did to make me dislike Cora so much, but I like her, in the style of a criminologist’s wife. I play on the swing path without her cheating, and for some reason this is the best part of the plot for me..

never played on the path where she openly cheats. I'm most looking forward to the development where Rick becomes a real crime lord and she becomes the hot wife of a crime lord, where both will unfold a brutal story together. Cora is a really hot wifey

What escapes you, no offense, is the plot on which the game revolves, it is a porn game, yes, but with a story of a mafia boss on the rise, now, the Dev is following the logical paths, for what is logical from a game, of course, in this case, we see and understand the real point of the game, Rick, a possible future boss, now, following this scheme, it is natural that the wife of the possible Boss, cannot cheat on her husband, is a controversy of Rick's role, but a well-established rule in mafia families, the family first of all, we protect it, and we don't betray ourselves, under any circumstances, Cora in the traitorous or Hot version as you say, in this context not could exist, it would ruin what the Dev is telling, therefore, faithful Cora, wife of the Boss who is in charge, unfaithful Cora, wife who will have to die because, as I have already written, you don't betray your family, in this case Cora, she would betray twice , both Rick as a husband, and the family because her lover is affiliated with the enemies. this is why the Dev has clearly specified, several times, that you have two ways of Cora, one faithful and alive, one traitor and dead.

 

[Chimba]

how can anyone not like cora? Her character is like the ultimate partner in crime!

It could be that I simply have no interest in games where the POV of a female MC is played (that's why I don't play any Female Mc games), or the fact that her first introduction was her fucking her coworker without any choice from the player even when one had been faithful to her (that was later changed but what she thinks wasn't...), because I remember the dev had said there would be no harem(which apparently back in 2021 changed again, but the harem was not possible with the wife), so if you played Mc cheating path, you were going to have consequences (Imagine playing faithfull and the first thing you see of the wife is that she fucks the cowerkers) or that every character she looked at the first thing she thought about was fucking with them, from that moment on I said that she doesn't belongs to the streets, she belongs 3 meters underground

What you mean no choice?

The player picks right here what he wants her to do.
