when day 10 will be out
The only answer I can give is when it is done ;)

i am getting errors, i play with walkthroo mode.... new one...
I have windows 10 not 8, oh it starts giving me bugs right on start of new update. i think when sister says something... i can ignore and story goes on, but then again bug,... well i fix the problem with deliting all files and reinstaling them .... ( full delite,... )

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/day09.rpy", line 22, in script
    MICH "Nice home."
Exception: Sayer 'MICH' is not defined.

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah this is in the mod, not entirely sure why as there isn't anything that should require altering in the script.rpy, which is where the define block is for the characters. And probably should put this in the mods thread for ShaddyModda.

And tundralupus I'll see if I have some time to do few portrait renders of the characters probably easier to make something out of them than trying to dig through the images in game and find something suitable. Although I suspect I need to make one out of the faerie dragon as well... But that is a concern for bit later as for now there needs to be more renders, and tea.

I am enjoying the story but some of the renders are a bit hazy. Also it looks as if a wide angled lens is being used the whole time. A few sharp close ups would help.

I think I know which renders you mean, and that is something I try to improve on. But as I've said it before, it is something I need to take step by step so my brain doesn't start to nag about it. And some of the issues came from the lightning I was using, that should be improved a bit in the next set of renders in that environment.

Just began playing and I already see a good story. MC's just drinking coffee with nuns and I aready feel like a playing VN with a story, not just another VN-like porn. Thanks for that.
Part of nuns have Russian names. And I see a strange thing. Nuns are called Maria, Irina and Natasha. While the first and the second are okay, it's full names, the third one is not a full name, it's short/cute version of the name Natalia. And that name Russians use to show familiarity or close relations to person. I see no mention in game of Natalia being closer to MC than any other nun. Is it lack of knowledge of Russian names or some strange plot twist?

I can't believe i would like a Dragon familiar more than the rest of the Harem, the interactions between them are super cute, the way she growls at MC when he suggests getting another bed for her :ROFLMAO: and i love the fact how she likes to basks in sunlight during the day on roof, honestly we need more of her...and yet another Talothral game thats so much underrated :confused:

Really enjoyed the ride so far. The characters have their own distinct personalities and are consistent. Great renders.. good storyline. Not a story I usually click on but man am I glad I did. Definitely a bookmarked one for me. Really enjoying the MC's 'ethics' and how he goes about things. Two thumbs up!
Enjoyed the update.. and who knew? It was a timely update also!

Looks like everybody is staying in character.. sometimes I play a game with an update and I'm like.. WTF?! Not in the sense of story twists.. but in the sense the MC has totally changed his behavior. I get that events might change a person but just not into the 'unbelievable' shifts that I might be forced into that are totally out there. Hidden traits/personna are fine for secondary charactors.. but if I'm the MC and playing along kinda defeats the purpose by altering down a path that just doesn't fit the charactor.

Do hope that makes sense.. just loving the charactor of the MC in this one... and the 'familiar'.. gotta love that green little dragon..

This one is quickly turning into my favorite.. appreciate the hard work! 8/10

Maria is more of Italian heritage in this case, Irina was Irene at some point but probably made several typos along the way and never corrected it, you know doing stuff at 4 in the morning. Now Natasha, while I'm somewhat aware of the naming convention, it's more that it was a random Russian sounding name that came to my head when I needed it. And to be fair, spend a lot of time with someone for 18 years (about) you become familiar with a person. And she was the one who taught the MC to shoot, among other things ;)

Consistency of characters comes with experience, and I've been writing around 30 years so far, give or take a few. Not that I'm saying that there couldn't be extreme changes in behavior temporarily, but if such thing would happen it would be clearly shown as why it happened as when those types of changes happens, it is usually due some sort of trauma, drugs, alcohol, or other kind of outside influence that just tips the emotional balance in one way or the other.

And the dragon technically is chromatic, as her color scheme does change a bit depending on how light hits her feathers ;)

Maria is actually a Jewish name, but it doesn't matter. Irina originates from Irene... wow, are these nuns from Russian Orthodox Church monastery?
Jokes aside, every nun is called by her full name, excluding Natalia. No Masha, Ag, Abby or Ira, only Natasha. One name that out of place. With no reason explained in game for that. It's like the only pothole on a smooth as a glass highway.

Odd I never touched the script.rpy file and it is not included in my mod. I ran through it myself with no errors.
It would appear you may still be using the script.rpy from 0.8.0 or earlier as MICH is not defined until the new script file for 0.9.0 I recommend doing a fresh extract of the game followed by the mod to a new folder.

Yeah it's one of those things, technically speaking should always do fresh install, but 99% of the time everything just works fine so. Happens.

:p
Although, could it be explained? Of course, but that is actually the wrong question to ask. The right question is, is the information needed? For most part, no. And explaining it without narrative reason would just be pointless exposition for the sake of exposition. Maybe she wanted the kids at the orphanage call her Natasha, maybe the others preferred their full name? Or maybe, it was just a name she took when she defected to the west in 1976, Natacha was fairly popular name in France during the 70's after all, maybe it got changed to Natasha when she came to US. That information isn't relevant for the over all narrative. Ultimately, they knew her as Natasha, and that is what they are going to call her.

I said I would do some portrait renders so here:
Those are 1334x2160 transparent background PNG's, unfortunately the faerie dragon was messing around and refused to sit still, so portrait render of her comes later once I get her to settle down for long enough >.>

Did quick samples out of portraits in the pack. I'm fairly certain there are someone who can do fancier then my 30 seconds stuff that I did while waiting some test renders to finish up.

These look really good, and yeah dragons can be difficult to handle, for real though tankyou for these, I like to advertise the games the little that I can while I can't support monetarially, I'll imbue them in my gif sig.

You should throw them up in https://f95zone.to/threads/gfx-request-thread.57341/ and request animated signatures be made out of them.

Not sure what valuable input i can add to this game thread...

The story runs smoothly, renders are good, worldbuilding comes naturally, not over the top crazyness, no not enough boldness... still in early stage but i can only wait and see as it seems to run rather flawless until now. I need more content but that is only a good sign from an early game stage. The only pain in the ass i can witness is if you play without the pausing patch, as you otherwise can't enjoy enough of the work put in the renders the author came with. I guess you can criticize the fact he went with the flawless type of hero who's destine to achieve anything but even if it sticks as a safety way to display a story, it stills can bring something valuable together at the end of the line.

Sorry for my engrish and props to the devs, good game so far ! (not an "exclusive fapping material" for the people only looking for this kind of things, but still an enjoyable trip for the others)

Not really flawless in my opinion, yeah he is a good guy, and an open person, but he doesn't demonstrate emotion enough too robotic, but that will depend on the person there are people who think that him being a decent human being is a flaw (not wanting to sleep with a drunk woman), or that him being generous is a flaw as well, but I understand what you mean, although I would say again that he is only a decent human being, sad that this minimum is what is considered a flawless person.

Yeah I consider "minimum" that he would use his considerable wealth to help some soldier he has met, he has more than enough so it is the minimum helping the rest of society

edit: About the English, my recommendation, if you are in a browser, is to use Grammarly, it helped me a lot, it got in the way some times but mostly helped.
