Agree on the very loose application storywise of that relationship...... the one thing that struck me playing it a few times is how unlikeable the majority of the characters are.Honestly, this VN doesn't really play up the brother/sister relationship as hard as others. At least for most of the chapters, you could totally interpret their relationship as best friends who are sharing an apartment for college (literal roommates). It isn't until later where there are some cracks in the dialogue that hint at a taboo where the sibling relationship becomes more evident. And then later it's revealed that they were raised together in the same household, so logically they'd have to be step or foster siblings at the very least.
I personally don't care whether or not there is Incest though I trend towards preferring non-incest. It's just so common in VNs that it's practically a rule at this point that hot family members are fuckable. That said, more than anything I like dialogue to work in context though and sometimes incest is specifically NOT intended (like in the case of Origin Story). So usually I'll start a VN with the default dialogue right up until the dialogue doesn't make sense without incest, then I'll toggle it on or get a patch.
There is some comments in the crack thread about getting the crack to work in Linux, might be there.So has anyone found a reliable method for getting this working through wine? I recently had to migrate to Linux and so far SHS is the only thing giving me problems. Haven't figured out how to get it working.
Awesome thanks! Finally figured it out with Lutris.There is some comments in the crack thread about getting the crack to work in Linux, might be there.
version.dll
as an override with the values n,b
. (n stands for native and b stands for built-in, if you're curious)if you are linux user then you can play this under wine.Maybe a weird question, can the assets be watched without actually play the game? Or are they packed in a weird format? I don't want to run something that doesn't work natively in my OS, but the renders look good and I will like to take a look at them without actually playing the game.
They are compressed with zlib, but yeah they can be sniffed pretty easily. Thanks for the info. There is also a huge json, I don't know if that can be transformed easily in a ren'py file lmao.anyways images are in .dat format so easiest way is to try open those in any image software but that might not work.
continues.In this game, is the sandbox removed after a while, or does it continue, even in the new versions?
Not very easy, it is some sort of compiled bytecodeThey are compressed with zlib, but yeah they can be sniffed pretty easily. Thanks for the info. There is also a huge json, I don't know if that can be transformed easily in a ren'py file lmao.
Text strings are in the ch*_strings.json while compiled code is in the ch*_compiledCode.vne3Hmm after looking a bit more I don't think it contains all the text, probably it's inside the data.win file that seems to be in IFF format. But I don't care enough to dig further.

Offzip is what was used until it was implemented in UAGC to decompress them to be compressed.Hmm after looking a bit more I don't think it contains all the text, probably it's inside the data.win file that seems to be in IFF format. But I don't care enough to dig further.
Nope, just the usual: running oggenc over the DATs in 'files/audio' and (zlib-)deflating those residing in 'files/images'. Then having an appropriate tool deduce file types of the latter by their respective headers for crunching them without switching formats (engine limitation – I used mozjepg and pngquant directly). Like last time, I skipped the unobfuscated PNG animations in 'data' as I know some engines (Why, hello there Tales of Androgyny!) are very anal about their texture atlases and I have no intention of playtesting this one fully. Hope this helps!
stays quite same.Understand this story is very long, so I guess my question is does the MC develop into a more mature and smarter person as the game progress? Or is this self-whining going to continue all the way?
