VN Ren'Py Abandoned Scars of Fate [v0.6.2] [Silent77]

[oidex]

Silent77 Might i suggest giving Miri some more backstory with the MC, or at least some useful skills, like lockpicking or piloting? As it stands now, she is absolutely insufferable. I have zero emotional, or even just practical reasons to keep her around. She is constantly obnoxious and not just with friendly/funny jabs, but sometimes straight up hurtful. I know I certainly wouldn't put up with her in real life. And the fact that she recklessly puts us and the rest of the group on death's doorstep multiple times doesn't help either. She made me ALT+F4 out of the game TWICE. Good thing the rest of the game is good enough to make me come back, but she is rapidly approaching "Female Merc"-level of grating. Right now she actually has me hoping for a Mass Effect situation where we can just sac her, and that says a lot because I'm doing the good guy run first.

bug in new version..
also seems there is a random roll after saying you want only the bartender? sometimes after ignoring the error you go to meet her at the bathroom and other times we tell her its not all about sex and just ask for the drinks

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

[Silent77]

bug in new version..

I think you have downloaded the 0.03 version in which asked for the 03_098.png rather than the webp
I've updated the links to a newer version 0.03a to correct that same bug
Sorry about that!

 

[Silent77]

or at least some useful skills, like lockpicking or piloting?

She can kick and use a bat

As it stands now, she is absolutely insufferable. I have zero emotional, or even just practical reasons to keep her around.
She is constantly obnoxious and not just with friendly/funny jabs, but sometimes straight up hurtful. I know I certainly wouldn't put up with her in real life.

If she were your girlfriends' sister (if you chose to be Ingrids' boyfriend that is), you would .
She blames you (not me) for her death

And the fact that she recklessly puts us and the rest of the group on death's doorstep multiple times doesn't help either.

We all have that one friend

 

[oidex]

She can kick and use a bat

Yeah, but without restraint or foresight. That makes her a liability, not an asset.

We all have that one friend

Hence my suggestion to put in a little more backstory for her and the mc. Some small text references of them actually being friendly or a single image flashback of them playing together growing up. Anything that makes her feel like more than a little shitstain who just showed up out of nowhere to make your life miserable and endanger you. Just being related to Ingrid is not enough to make her feel like a friend (for me at least).
I kinda head-canoned that from the fact that the village wasn't that big and that one line "That's not you!", but it takes a lot of mental gymnastics.

Oh and +1 for the guy hoping that Victoria doesn't get it on with the female merc. That would really be hard to stomach.

Anyway, looking forward to the next update. You're doing some great work here.

 

[Silent77]

Yeah, but without restraint or foresight. That makes her a liability, not an asset.

True, but she's the only one the MC knows well enough and trusts,

e line "That's not you!", but it takes a lot of mental gymnastics.

Also if you kissed Ingrid in chapter one in the basement you get:
"So I thought you rather choose a girl your age over me, perhaps even a younger one like Miri"

Anything that makes her feel like more than a little shitstain who just showed up out of nowhere to make your life miserable and endanger you. Just being related to Ingrid is not enough to make her feel like a friend (for me at least).

I see your point, it's an interesting idea/view to consider

Just left my first review.

Can someone please create signatures for this? I feel like the least we can do is promote this game.

...Can someone please create signatures for this? I feel like the least we can do is promote this game.

You could try and request it here
And you are right, a few sigs is the least this promising game deserves.

Thanks Abhai. I posted a request and blinked and suddenly they were there.

Well, interesting game. A decent story so far and a bit too much engrish, but not a game breaker. Let's see what happens. I would suggest some proofreading.

 

[ThunderRob]

As we see...i was correct(thus far) in saying asian hottie was the fav(she is tied in the poll) ThunderRob dameranking power!!! hubbahubba...AND...bet if the scene with fatty was removed she'd be well ahead

great stuff indeed
Silent77 it would be good if you link that post with sings to the op as "fansigns", so anyone interested could easily use them, and promote a bit your game.

 

[Osamabeenfappin]

I'm disappointed there wasn't an option to slaughter everyone at Lettuce Heads party. Some real start of darkness shit.

I don't think so. I think that kfrazer099 used the perfect word to describe him.

Yep, people usually dont understand a true "inner beauty", and Meat has a lot of it to offer.
If any character/sig could bring attention to this game thats him

He had a lot of fat to offer...and cruelty if you didn't praise him properly. To hell with him!

By the way, why that other prostitute on orgy party always/often smiling? someone break her mind? I mean most people there look either serious or terrified because of our raid.

She is either too high to give a shit, or is simply in awe of the MC's badassery. Or maybe she is just bonkers, you know, in a sweet kind of way.
