HTML Sanguis Ex Hero [v0.1.3] [Spiderling]

[Dingo139]

So you can play as femboy. But can you dom them in game?

 

[Grimreaper24]

So will we ever see any pregnant bellies or is it just impregnation and not actually pregnancy

 

[daedilus]

Doesn't make sense, tho.

It's an actual Latin construction.

Sanguis = blood
Ex = from ("out of")
Hero (technically should be heros, but that's a minor change, and few know Latin enough for the error to matter: we get what the author meant.)

So, Sanguis Ex Hero = "Blood From Heroes". This is a name which makes sense and fits the story.

What you suggested, however, would say "Blood Heroes From", which only makes sense if you're Yoda. You're not a shrivelled little green guy, are you?

Actually, your definition is incomplete.

If can mean 'out of', of 'from', but it can also mean 'after' or 'former', or 'old' or 'past' or 'no longer', which is how i thought you were using it, which is why we call former relationships "ex's"

That's actually how i was reading it, he was now 'bloodied' and an ex-hero, or 'former hero'... e.g. he murdered a prisoner and is now an ex-policeman, or in the proper mid-English vernacular, "a bloodied policeman, formerly".

Essentially a Fallen Hero.

Certainly a more classical English phrasing, but then i thought that was the point? Steampunk always speaks in higher English and not the vulgar Americanized. I assumed that was intentional.

Besides, It's a fantasy. You can modify the languages how you want, and the Ex on the end just sounds better to me. Harder edge that rolls off the tongue with a guttural X utterance at the end, rather than having to recover from guttural utterance in the middle and continue speaking. It also harkens to the Rex title for Kings, lending that regal ambiance to the title as well.

 

[Ummmh]

FYI it isn't my game, so it's more what the author intended, and they specifically noted the MC drains super types, so the title follows naturally.

Ex in its Latin context is most commonly encountered nowadays in "deus ex machina" (god out of/from machine: basically meaning pulling a story-saving plot device out of one's ass), but even modern hyphenated English constructions still have ex *preceding* the word describing the thing it is from, in all cases.

The only following use of such a stylistic example is the game Deus Ex, but "machina" is still clearly implied to follow (from the phrase's familiarity, and the game's world itself being so mechanized)

Personal preferences are personal preferences, and if Spider wants to change it, they can, but the name as is follows and makes sense within the familiar Latin conventions: those conventions being the mode common to the VtM Storyteller game-world style these vamp goth genre games so often resemble (and much of early White Wolf games, in general: basically anything Rein-Hagen had a hand in writing).

No femboy fucking in the game unless a miracle happens (and that miracle is called money). I am a huge fan of the femboy on female stuff and hetero femboy fucking. I just love the concept, and I have done a lot of work on that kink.

Absolutely, even have the images done already.

Hero (technically should be heros, but that's a minor change, and few know Latin enough for the error to matter: we get what the author meant.)

Nit: ex heroe (or heroibus, in the plural), as the preposition ex governs the ablative.

I am reasonably certain that at no point in the last three thousand years has "ex" been accepted as a suffix in any acrolect or even mesolect of Greek, Latin, French, or English. Probably not in any other European language, either. I am only slightly less certain that "ex" as a noun is broadly only accepted as a clipping for "ex-[romantic partner]"; and, even then, that it's also firmly colloquial.

Besides, It's a fantasy. You can modify the languages how you want, and the Ex on the end just sounds better to me.

It also harkens to the Rex title for Kings, lending that regal ambiance to the title as well.

The game may be set in a fantasy world, but it is written for and by people who speak English as found in reality. Also, the X here is not "guttural".

I would advise against continuing your awkward pretense to expertise.

Is there a reason the Catbox link seems to automatically download a zip with an unusual name that doesn't match the others?

No? I used that site because was one of the sites that was recommended by the admins.

Edit: There, I removed the link just in case.

That's just how that site works, download gets named the same as the randomly generated link, not the uploaded file/archive name.

 

[Boardguy]

Shortstack description needs to be corrected. Same as the futa. Only one with the issue.Edit: Unless femboi is supposed to be called a girl

A spooky vampire talking to Taylor Hebert about Mother Horse Eyes was not on my bucket list for 2025, yet here we are.

Fun Fact = There was a Superman comic where Dracula sucked Superman's blood thinking that he'll gain more powers but ended up dying because he didn't realize that Superman's blood is solar charged as in Supe's blood got sun energy in it.

 

[Ummmh]

Was Drac able to bite through his skin because he is magic, and magic is another Supes weakness? Or did he find some other vector?

 

[Spiderling77]

Sup! Before doing this weekly update report, I will post a small hotfix that I made during the week. Since this is only pure quality of life stuff, bug fixes are available to the public immediately.
Quality of life

• Moved the explanation of Blood Bloat Points from a hover-over to plain text.
• Added the BB price of each mutation.
• Now when you run out of action points, your turn will not automatically end.
• Added to each option if they will consume a day.
• Added a new mutation. Soul Voyeur (The parasensorial senses of the vampires developed to the point where they are able to see the shape of the soul of their targets. Allows the user to get a preview of the soul of each possible target and gives +2 extra Perception.)

Bug fixes

• Fixed the <<if>> error after losing a fight.
• Fixed bug where the text displayed you gain 5 exp from training instead of 10.
• Fixed bug where you couldn't level up souls. The formula to level up your soul is Current level of soul * Current level. This is made so getting more exp bonuses in the future (thrall farming, cooking, etc.) is important for the future to flatten the exponential curve.
• The soul screen and soul unlocks also seem to list the effects of the soul 2-3 times for some reason. (Couldn't find that bug; what I found is that the basic souls look similar, causing some confusion. Changing the icon so it will be more distinct.)
• Fixed bug where you could sell an infinite amount of 9mm pistols.
• Fixed bug where the money reset after each fight.
• Fixed the bug where you couldn't kill yourself from refusing to drink blood after reaching 0 in the blood meter.
• Fixed wrong descriptions
• Fixed bug where it gave wrong character descriptions.
• Minor typos fixed.
• Fixed bug in Alex's sex scene where your character was called Wilson.
• Fixed bug where some variables would appear with the $ instead of being displayed properly.
• Fixed all the errors that I could find where your characters were referred to with the wrong pronoun. I honestly suck at this, so if you find one, please copy and paste where you find it.

Drac was able to bite Superman because vampirism is a magical trait and it bypassed Supe's defense.

 

[Ummmh]

OK. That's what I figured. TY.
People don't realize Supes has actually a LOT of vulnerability because of that: there's a heck of a lot more magic in the world than there is Kryptonite.

TBF he's not particularly weak per se to magic like he is to kryptonite, its just that its one of the things that can actually hurt him. But even then he's still pretty tough and can resist against it a lot better than most other people.

Absolutely wonderful news to hear, cant stand impregnation without actual pregnancy....

Would be neat if our MC could feed off the girls milk after knocking them up too, just a suggestion.
