I love all the branches, even if Mrs Zhou is a turn off for me she has the right to be in the game. You have different points of view, and clues for example on the werewolf's companion if you choose gorgons or association.
My main regret is that you don't have a fairy village on your land with the Gorgons path, but Association deserved some love too.
If there's a 2 I would love to see one of the young girls as the assasssin 's apprentice(who said "Leon"?)

Congratulations on completing this compelling and well crafted tale Talothral !:love:
At times the end of something means the beginning of another thing. Do you have your next project planned?
In any case may luck always follow in your footsteps! (y)

Okay this game frustrates me. Because the story is cool. And the renders and characters are decent. This would be a respectable game if the h-scenes weren't these weird stom motion click through text with less than 10 words of dialogue in the entire scene. The thing is there's a LOT of content so it looks like he made a lot of effort just for some reason no porno dialogue. I'd almost say it's like the author was embarassed to write it. But there's a sex scene with a troll in this game. And not the MGE troll. The dank soggy hides under bridges kind!

I cant DL this.

ANONFILE: Wants to install an installer/launcher. I don't allow that.
MIXDROP: Tried 3 times in past 2 days to DL from there, it just won't finish.
TRANSFER: Says "Not Found"
MEGA: File is over 5 gigs...It won't let me DL it.
MegaDownloader (for MEGA, on PC at least) works for me, I've been using it for years now, never noticed any problems with it.

Could anyone please list the endings and explain how to get them?
So, I got ending #5. How many endings are there?

I did love the nurses expressions at the end.
6 in total, although, 3 of them are bad endings (aka you went and fucked up somehow), one is for those who didn't want to choose Miyuki, and one for those who avoided all the women, although I don't remember did Li count for that... And then there is the variant of 5 for April's fools just for the hell of it.

1) Don't have sex with Tamara, Kill Marcus on day 35, and destroy the crystal on day 36
2) Ally with Fiery Fangs, Miyuki is advisor, tell the Oni to take over the seal, then kill Marcus, be submissive to Tamara, and say no when she wants to sacrifice Kiri.
3) Ally with Fiery Fangs, Miyuki is advisor, tell the Oni to take over the seal, then kill Marcus, and don't get the living statue spell.
4) Miyuki as Advisor, but everything else done "right"
5) Fuck everything that has a hole and a pulse, basically.
6) Don't have sex with anyone, although this isn't anything special as the whole thing was mostly an accident but made something for it.
The "hidden" 7th one Fuck everything that has a hole and a pulse and finish the game on the 1st of April

Is there an update only link? Not really wanting to download 10gb unless I have to.
Within 24 hours there is one on the blog when the public release goes live. I say within 24 hours since I might forget when midnight hits and don't remember until the morning, even if then.

So, Talothral. I really enjoyed playing Sorcerer. It was a surprisingly detailed and interesting story. So great job completing it, congratulations. I know making a game of this size is a lot of work, magnitudes more than most people realize.

I had a blast meeting such a variety of characters. As with any game with so many characters, I probably would have liked getting a little more in depth in the story with some of them (Mei, at least one of the Gorgons, the witch), but that is just me.

My only suggestion for your next game is modify the way that you do the sex scenes. Sorcerer does them a little differently than most Renpy games, where you can't spacebar back and forth through them easily. Is it some sort of Renpy loop mode? Making them a sequence of images, even if the images themselves are repeated, would be a better experience for the user, so you can go forward and back as you prefer.

Also, while you do generally have some dialog at the end of the scene, having dialog in the middle of the scene makes it more natural and meaningful. I am not talking about the same cliched dialog we always see, but something unique to the character to make it more interesting. Otherwise, it tends to be kind of mechanical, at least for me. Just a handful of lines, that the character would be likely to say, in the middle of the scene, would go a long way.

I look forward to more Terminus Reach, and whatever you work on next.

Some like the auto-forwarding, some likes pausing between the pictures. Both are possible as there is a preference setting for it. As such (yeah tested it that it works as it should):
preferences2.jpg
It has two states, automated and paused. And pausing, well, pauses between all images during sex scenes. The scene speed affects non-sex scenes and can be paused as well.

And as said, as some enjoy the auto-forwarding and it isn't exactly any extra work it will be still featured in TRS2 alongside being able to pause everything.
