VN Ren'Py Scarlet Ashbringer [v0.2.5a] [Scarlet Ashbringer Studio]

[Scarlet Ashbringer]

I'll give the game a go and rate it once I'm done playing. The art looks cute and I like WoW as a setting. Here's hoping there will be more penetrative sex in the coming updates? Sounds like the ball is finally rolling though. Will throw you some $ on patreon if I like what's in the game so far. Good luck with the project in general.

I know I kinda cornered myself ^^ but the idea is the following : First an update for Ishaye, who has literally zero content despite being here from the start. But no penetrative sex. It should be a rather "quick" update. Then, the Scarlet Monastery Update. This hsould be the big gun, with Whitemane's first penetrative sex scene. Abbendis and Whitemane being the "main girls" I kinda wanted them to have the first scenes.

From them, there should be way more actual sex. I hope it will be fast enough for you ^^'

Just wanted to chime in, discovered this today and absolutely loving it. The writing is great, game feels organic and well paced which is not always easy to find in a porn game. Keep up the great work!

 

[Griev]

A quick question... Games's been on here for 4 years and from the comments its JUST had it's first actual sex scene. So has it been 4 years of consistent blue balling updates or are there just REALLY long periods before the game gets updated?

 

[Ruhrok]

So has it been 4 years of consistent blue balling

i would argue that the game has a rly interesting story and the nsfw stuff is kind of an added bonus

I'm not really proud of it, but I average at just under a year per update ^^'

 

[HanseHolm]

Using that Music Pack in Dota 2 ... I feel like I am not playing a WoW parody game xD
But absolutely loving this game and its story, and looking forward to exploring the new update. Thank you!

 

[Xiaen]

I liked the game since I enjoy WoW characters and story. Writing is good but man, I'd sooner get laid IRL than get any actual lewd scene in this game. Quite a shame wish there was more WoW lewd games.

Ahh I see.
Np! Some of the best games only update once a year. I was just curious and honestly I'm glad you haven't updated much as it would have been much worse if there were a LOT of updates with no action lol.

As a WoW player since 2005, Whitemane will always draw my attention!

Hmm you need to trigger an event that requires a lot of other event done. I'm trying to refine this, so it's not very clear, sorry. Most likely, you need to visit Alistra, try to break the spell, do all her dialogue, then ask Auronia and Ishaye to visit her. Then, you will be able to visit Lilian and propose her to visit Alistra.
Then a few event occur at Hearthglen's tower before the final showdown of Hearthglen

About the "That's asking a lot", sorry I forgot to reword the quest. I simply prevented it from being return since I have no reward to give, but I will work on this. Sorry it slipped my mind

Heya, sorry to bother you but i think i might have a bug related to this. i talked to aruonia about visiting her, but before finishing that event i did jainas route with gandling who saved her. now i'm not getting that event, and i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do, since i can't talk to lilian without her trying to brush me off, and it says that alistra is at the end of her content.

Hmm... Can you send me your save ? I'll see what's up and fix it if possible

 

[Moseph1984]

game is excellent, thank you
it is possible to softlock if you do the accountant quest up until you need to set up posters for the cabaret to open then subsequently free alistra; you have to find alistra at the cabaret before anything else but entering the cabaret gives you the 'are the posters up yet' scene instead
i did the accountant quest up until the posters part before i met tirion which generally caused some inconsistencies (eg. having a quest to talk to marjhan before i'd met her, having a quest to talk to gandling before i'd met him, learning vivian's name after i'd been using it for a while (the last one might not be related to this issue, i'm not sure))

 

[dalexe]

Sure! here it is. not sure if it's a bug, or if i've just missed something, but really glad you're on the case

 

[Scarlet Ashbringer]

Definitely a bug, these quests shouldn't overlap.
I sent you directly to Alistra's event where Lilian visit. But it's weird you managed to free her without doing this event. I need to investigate to see how this happened.

 

[Ratnedalu]

... Wait a second, am I nuts or did the art change? I mean, just from the new title image...

 

[Scarlet Ashbringer]

... Wait a second, am I nuts or did the art change? I mean, just from the new title image...

Yes, my artists come and go. On the main menu, Whitemane & Abbendis were created by "Howard", a great artist that left the project. Auronia is drawn by "Piccolo", a new artist. (I'm using pseudos because they asked to remain anonymous)

Like i said, i freed her, then sort of... forgot about her, as i got dragged into and hyperfocused on the jaina content (Great quests btw! you should feel proud over them )

then when i'd freed the dark mage i chatted with him, and he said he could help her. i'd talked to the blood elf dude revealing that i needed a dark artifact, and i'd chatted to her a few times, 3 i think? managing to break her out of control like 2 times, and done 1 visit.

thanks for the save! i'll try it out

Closer to the end of 0.2.5a there's a game-breaking bug.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

There appears to be a typo in game/tyrs_hand.rpy, line 5780:

if castle_quest_mark == False and chapel_quest_mark == False and dorm_quest_mark == False and guard_tower_quest_mark == False and cathedral_quest_mark == False oandr scarlet_enclave_quest_mark == False and access_to_sea_quest_mark == False and tavern_quest_mark == False:

needs to be changed to:

if castle_quest_mark == False and chapel_quest_mark == False and dorm_quest_mark == False and guard_tower_quest_mark == False and cathedral_quest_mark == False and scarlet_enclave_quest_mark == False and access_to_sea_quest_mark == False and tavern_quest_mark == False:

To this, actually, if we're being pedantic. The flags are already boolean, there's no need for comparison operator for the if condition, that just makes it difficult to read, but that might be a decompiler artifact:

if not castle_quest_mark and not chapel_quest_mark and not dorm_quest_mark and not guard_tower_quest_mark and not cathedral_quest_mark and not scarlet_enclave_quest_mark and not access_to_sea_quest_mark and not tavern_quest_mark:

(I unpacked/decompiled the game files using UnRen)
