Ren'Py Rise of the Monarch [v0.25] [ZephyrA0]

[ZephyrA0]

Overview:
They say that once, a mere human ascended among the gods...
In Rise of the Monarch, you are an orphan caught in the storm of a world at war.
As dynasties crumble and ancient powers awaken, survival is no longer enough. You’ll need cunning, sacrifice, and the courage to face — or embrace — the darkness within.
Kingdoms will fall. Hope will fade. And through blood and chaos, you will carve your own legend.
RISE !
Become a ruler of terrifying strength, mastering forces that blur the line between mortal and divine.
The throne awaits... but only for those bold enough to take it.

NSFW content will only be available starting from a key event in Chapter 3. All such scenes (and the different tags along) will always be optional and tied to meaningful story paths or affection progression.

Different tags, such as?

 

[AlexMora]

Thanks!

 

[ZephyrA0]

Different tags, such as?

At this point, I'm still evaluating which tags will be relevant, depending on narrative direction and character development.

My goal is for any NSFW content to feel meaningfully integrated into the story, not just included for the sake of it. That means I’m focusing more on emotional tone and narrative context than on checking boxes.

That said, potential themes or tags I may explore include:
first times, masturbation, bondage, sleep sex, same-sex (gay/lesbian), group sex, and harem elements :

As I said, these scenes will remain 100% optional, clearly labeled, and designed with both narrative value and player comfort in mind. When I say optional, I mean it. From the very small masturbation scene all the way to the hardcore group sex (there won't be any, though). Players will always have the choice to engage with (or skip) any of it.

Thanks again for your interest! I’m always open to suggestions or feedback.

Best of luck with the project, sounds promising, will follow for now to see how it goes after an update or two.

Sorry to barge in.... When you say I can skip certain things, do you mean

I can skip them and they never happened?
or
I can just not see the scene but it still happens?


Thank you
Cheers
Best of Luck!

 

[ZephyrA0]

or

I've been on this forum for quite a while, even if I didn't post any message, so I do know how important it is for players to not feel disturbed by kinks they do not like.
So there will be one event (M/F) that is unavoidable (but the NSFW CGs will be), as it is an important part of the plot.
However, for all the other tags I mentionned, if you do not want it in the game it will never happen. It's not just a skip, it's a real choice with meaning.
Gay scene trigger warning? If you click no, the MC will answer he's not interested and the game's path will align with that, never propose it again, and never mention it (since it did not happen).

I hope I made myself clear enough, do not hesitate to give your opinion on this I'm quite open minded
Cheers

 

[ZephyrA0]

You've just told us that you don't have a concrete story outline for yourself yet, and will probably end up winging it from update to update.
Then, you can come back with a future tag list, not some "I may explore" list that has probably earned you more ignores than you want to know about.

I see I wasn't clear enough. Story outline is already written, for the most part. I have a red thread, a roadmap, some already written lore.
This is a project that I love and want to share, I'm putting hard work into the writing.
What I do still have to decide is how to spread intimate scenes though. That, I must admit, is not quite clear and will only evolve with character development (I tend to let my characters develop themselves as the story unfolds).
As of the second part of your comment, I hope the message I posted earlier makes it clearer for you, and for others that will come after.

I do appreciate your feedback though, and thank you for that !

I don't think I really had any particular fetish in mind when I asked. You took care of one of mine with the second sentence of your overview, lol I thought that was funny and a good way to stave off some of the question/comments that are surely coming...lol

I think I was more curious if the story would be shaped differently based on my preferences rather than being too linear.

----------

I just downloaded Rise Of The Monarch and will try it this evening, I hope....... I realize you invest many resources in each option/scene/character and if I choose to skip those it's almost like tossing some money/time away for you. One thing I rarely see in these games is a second or third option later on that would re-incorporate skipped characters without being pushy in the story and only when it makes sense. Maybe I just wasn't ready for them or changed my mind... Have you thought of that option? Again..it may not even work w this storyline but I was just curious.
I know you said it won't be mentioned again if I choose NO but I was just curious about the option to be offered again later.
Sry. Will stop bugging now...lol
Thanks again.
Cheers

 

[ZephyrA0]

Don't worry you're not bugging me at all, no need to apologise. On the contrary, your interest in the game means so much to me !
To answer frankly the story will be quite linear, at least to a certain point where characters will be shifting (alliances, deaths, etc...) but that won't be before a long time.
For the moment there is no NSFW scene, it will be available after a certain event in chapter 3 or 4. I'm waiting for Thread Ownership to write it down in the overview, as I feel this is important notice.

Thanks again !

 

[Forgotted]

Ok. So First stupid question. lol

Oni-chan: does this mean demon brother? Since it only has 1 i in oni?
Sry, this Onii, Oni, Onee Chan stuff is new to me...lol

 

[Forgotted]

So this update ends after the tour? (I didn't see the PornoPats) lol
Just Checking.


Really funny that it's part French, part English, and some Japanese terms thrown in.
(just struck me as funny, I like it.)

Great job w the characters, I like one, hate some, etc... so honestly you've done a great job there.
For me it wasn't a big deal at all, but, it would have been nice to have a picture of ? Sasha ? when
I was introduced in the kitchen. I was surprised when Yuno said it was a guy. lol

I guess in the next update we'll be able to raise other's affections?
Great job on the colors and lighting.

Nice job w the mc being depressed like this. I hope it carries on a bit and doesn't just instantly
change to being 100% happy all of a sudden. I mean, it's really really good that when he's w Yuno and
decides that she is helping him and things might be ok.

Anywho,
Thank you so much
Cheers and Best of Luck!
