VN Ren'Py Scions of the Divine [v0.1] [Dark Seraph]

[kauthor]

Seems I'm 2 for 2 when it comes to early adopting stellar modern magic stories written with passion. Keep up the good work Seraph!

What was the first one?

in a dream i get this error... at the moment when some kind of being shows up

Spoiler: error

If I ignore it 3 times it just skips to the moment when MC wakes up.

This is the same as the issue mentioned here.

Looks like an issue with text shaders. I've never gotten this error before, and so far, you're the only one who's reported it. So, fixing it is going to be tricky. When the traceback comes up there is usually a button to "ignore" it at the bottom. Does choosing that allow you to progress with the game?

The reason I ask is that I've gone over the code and I think I have a fix, but further examination is required. However, if it's a game-breaking issue that won't let you progress, I'll post what I have so you can see if it fixes the issue for you.

I thought I had a fix for it, but I did not. You're the second person to report it though. Check to make sure your graphics driver and directx are both up to date. If they're up to date already or updating doesn't fix the problem, please let me know and I'll try to get to the bottom of it. It's a very user specific issue, which makes it hard to debug.

Edit: I think I actually have a fix this time, but I need someone who's had the issue to test it. It seems to have something to do with the way different GPU drivers read the float values used in GLSL shaders. If I understand how Ren'Py file reading works, you should be able to drop this file into the "ScionsoftheDivine-0.1-pc/game" folder (same place as the archive.rpa) and have it load the new files instead.

it seems that file fixed it, changed the name to shaders.rpa and shoved it into Game folder. Had to since i could not find the other file, i found shader.rpy and similar to this but no .rpa

Enjoyed the first update, thanks for the game!

I do wonder how many scions are going to be implemented though

I wasn't sure whether to name it shaders.rpa or 1shaders.rpa because searching around gave me mixed results on Ren'Pys loading priority. Weird that there was the .rpy file and no .rpa as it should have been all archived. Oh well. Glad that it fixed it! If you don't mind sating my curiosity what kind of GPU do you have? As I'm 90% sure now that it was the GPU drivers causing the issue. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the rest of the game and thank you so much for reporting back on the fix!

You're welcome, and thank you for playing! Exciting things are coming in Chapter 2! I won't spoil the amount of scions, but I will say, there's going to be a lot of them.

A750 on 7026 drivers, I force Angle/Angle2 renderer in Renpy, otherwise there will be no mouse when in full-screen

Hmm... very interesting, thank you for sharing. It'll help me look into why it didn't like the GLSL code for shaders. The new code should make it work on all GPU drivers though. So it's more for my own knowledge.

Truly great start for a game, quality renders, strong character designs, engaging dialogue, interesting worldbuilding, compelling LIs, good H-scenes, and the MC isn't a complete spaz, perv, or pushover.

Thank you! Also, I figured that topic would come up at some point. Explanation below.

I understand there's a WT built in but there should be a mod to adjust the points lol. That way we can play as perverted or normal as we want and don't have to worry about losing points or negative consequences lol.

 

[Woodstock_1983]

When Astara tells The MC about the water pressure to Rayne, even though you listened in, there should be away to act like you didn't know but still get the lewd scenes. That way you get the see all the lewd and action scenes and not lose any points or make anyone upset or embarrassed.

 

[Towik]

I will never understand why people want to have the cake, eat it, fuck it, choke on it too... everything at the same time. just choose, then play another time and choose differently.

About that. There actually is a built-in system for doing just that. You can manipulate the important variables, unlock individual things (profiles, outfits, memories), or even unlock everything if you want to.

Here's how:

if i wanted to choose, i wouldn't play harem games

Looks promising, keep up the good work.

It's just how audience of the adult content tends to be. They mostly just want the fantasy, the and aren't really here for any realism.

Which is perfectly fine, at least until they start nagging on everything that doesn't align with their fantasy instead of just moving on and finding something that does.

Love this VN . Keep it up, man

Really enjoyed the first version, nice work! I’m curious if you already have a general update schedule in mind or a rough idea of how often you plan to release new versions. Just trying to get a sense of what kind of pace you’re aiming for. The game shows a lot of promise, and I’m excited to see how it develops!

I'll be working towards getting an update/new chapter out every 3-4 months, but I do have irl responsibilities so that isn't set in stone. Sometimes it may be a little quicker or a little slower.

Totally understandable! Real life always comes first. A 3–4 month pace sounds great, and I’m just glad to see you taking your time to make it right. Looking forward to future updates!
