Ren'Py Completed Space Journey X [v1.50_15] [y.v.]

[Lecher76543]

Heads Up on V2.00 Tech Update

• migration of my code to Renpy 8.x & python 3.x worked better than expected
• save game compatibility concept so far confirmed
• some content packages (crew pony racing, pet tricks, ...) implemented
• some new items
• many sw-design / engine updates (particle explosions, multiplexed sound effects, ...)
• tons of bugfixes

V200_005 in BETA since today, Early access planned for 26th December, Public release around end of January

and yes, I finally used git for VS-Code and am quite impressed how much easier things are with it

Question. Will the multiverse save file carryover?

 

[hentaidez]

Question: If you use the multiverse pod to send yourself a copy of a bot with the Galaxina skin, while also retrieving the Galaxina skin from the Krell Lasher, is it possible to turn one in and still use the other, eventually replicating it at the Beacon of Assembly? Or does the multiverse skin not "count" for that?

 

[hentaidez]

And while I'm here, there's a few questions I'm wondering, storyline-wise, about whether such-and-such is still to be revealed, is dropped content, or was never intended to be expanded upon.

1. Are we\Do we ever figure out what's happening in the bot lab between Nimhe and BB-2? I mean, we know she's in the auto-trainer, but from the dialogue this was just part of an experiment. I've only just started 1.5, but as of 1.4, I didn't see any advancement on this...

2. Are we ever supposed to find out what it is we steal for the Voron Librarians from the Precursor ruins?

3. Is it ever going to be possible to go past "tricking" T'Ris into sex (either through drinks, or through "duty")?

4. Are we ever going to be able to see any Drengarians other than Khelara? Curing their plague felt anti-climactic, and then nothing really changes in their system other than the jumpgate opening. I was hoping we'd eventually be able to explore their station.

5. Is it ever explained WHY the Swarm pulled the hero and the bratty princess from the Milky Way into their galaxy?

6. Are we ever going to be able to explore the Voronian station? There's some flavor text that hinted we might eventually be able to, but as of 1.4, we couldn't.

7. Will the base defenses ever be purchaseable and\or useful? If not, why have they never been removed from the list of base expansions?

8. Speaking of things that don't seem to matter if you purchase them, can you actually do anything with the Krell gags and riding crops? As of 1.4 (seems like these MIGHT be important in 1.5, but if so I haven't gotten that far, yet), I haven't even been able to find any flavor text from them, like you can with the shavers and other items.

9. Will there ever be any way to teach T'Ris "Pet Tricks"? It feels like it's pointless to take her for a walk on the Krell station, because there's only minimal flavor text interaction when she's present, no pictures or anything like with every other public walk, and if you try and interact with her while there you get a "T'Ris hasn't learned any pet tricks yet" notification.

10. It's been a few months, but I recall the 1.4 ending to be a bit... underwhelming. Are there any ways, or plans for ways, to get alternative endings? Especially ways to improve the fate of your relationships with characters like T'Ris, or maybe a way to decide to stay in the new galaxy, after all, and still have an ending (I mean, by this point in the game, you're likely wealthy as hell, you've probably got a powerful warship, you have important friends in high places, and you're surrounded by a virtual harem full of girls who will give you "favors" any time you want, so why would you WANT to go home, at that point?)?

I was thinking this exact thing while replaying the game today, my MC is so rich/powerful, why would he want to go back?? Especially if there was not a way to return.

Yes that is possible. It should have been possible already in version 1.5 but there is a bug with the replicator so it doesn't work. In version 2.0 it is possible and confirmed

v1.50 bug report. When in combat, your ship is still locked on to the position of the last enemy you killed. So you hit space to fire, and you hit empty space. This is a minor thing, except I have the Underverse weapon Wails of Infinity, and I'm somehow generating shields when "hitting" an empty spot. It also means if you aren't careful when killing drones, you might waste an action hitting them instead of a actual target.

EDIT: Also, side note, is it possible to make/acquire Type G shells? The one that doesn't have the IQ and trait overrides? As far as I can tell, the only ones I got was when I did a Multiverse transfer a couple of game versions back, and all the bot shells that were on them were converted to Type Gs. Except in v1.50, I've only ever seen Golden Seductress shells drop and be replicated when telling Nimhe to make Type I or G shells. Which is fine, but I use multiverse imports only for Arcade bots, so the IQ overrides are not desirable for my best bots (since they get above 140, which means I CAN'T use them for the arcade).

Thanks for the bug report. Registered.

As to the G-Shell only the very first version had no overrides. All new ones that are generated or found come with premium shell overrides. Old versions you carried over remain usable though.

Some reflections on that

• Drengar will be focus of V2.10 (story also focus on Khelara and some other loose ends)
• Voron shipyard would be nice to use for some pimped up gear, maybe I'll add that in a content pack post 2.00
• Pet tricks are already in V2.00 (2 for T'Ris, 1 each for Nimhe and Seraphine)
• Some items currently are there only for immersion. I can use them later once the assets are in place if I have an idea though
• Maybe I'll add some more explicit expo on swarm motives (there are hints already, its not the Swarm Nexus that brought MC over but it was orchestrated by Vee...)
• As to the ending, there are different approaches but the decision to make only one and to have that only as "what became of them" narrative was intentional. In retrospect I disliked the multiple endings I made for Princess as that made the whole thing feel arbitrary. I personally also feel that some otherwise great games are ruined by such arbitrary endings.

Yes, that feature remains in place as mechanism for multiple playthroughs as it is now.

is Khelara inspired by no hat mod for residen evil village?
if so, now vve know what drengarian conspiracy is about: she will fight Moira for pirate hat!

No, I actually made her a bit like B'Elanna (function, looks, ...) with some Pirate touch

 

[yv0751]

Is there a way to tell which traits are good and which are bad on a bot?

It all depends (combination, skill focus, ...).
In general purple are best, green are good, then yellow, then red.
If you buy the Yutani Investment, you can load two bots into the analyzer for part by part comparison

Damn Space Rangers. That's awesome!

Ultimate bot crate is a lie!
I've opened 389 crates from Sera, and here's what I got:

I know for certain I coded it

It is *at most* a bug that needs to be fixed.

I remember I came across some issues with seraphine's crates and fixed those in 2.00.

Will try it out on my final playthrough with 2.00 which is underway.

Thanks for the report.

Ps: I also adjusted some of the RNG in version 2.00 based on your suggestions

This game is really good, primarily because it's a real game and has a good story script.
This said, i would like to have a future 3.0 release after 2.0, since imho there's still a lot to expand.
I'm at the end of the story (1.50) but there's two Nimhe events i can't trigger :
I took several times Seraphine in pony outfit both at the Dome and Arellarti station but Nimhe don't ask for it ...
I completed Moira's milking quest and again here there's no option to milk Nimhe.

Hello,
I've come to you because I'm new to the game, and despite the walkthrough, I'm completely stuck in the game.
When I talk to the Pet Owner, I don't get any rumors :/.

If anyone can see what my problem is, I'd appreciate it!

The bio lab quest is the one to tackle in order to move the main quest along.
There is a walk-through document linked in the op. Search for bio lab.

Cant find Galaxina bot. Is it given random at krell ship defeat?

 

[EroKala]

I got it by doing a round of bounties in Arellati system, and one of the ship wrecks dropped the prototype storage unit. Not sure if its meant to be a specific bounty or what.

 

[hentaidez]

First, trigger the news broadcast\quest regarding the bot theft. Then, (I believe only in your starting system, but it might work in others as well) you should eventually encounter a Krell ship (either as a random encounter, or a bounty quest). It is usually in the loot of that first Krell ship you encounter after the broadcast, but that won't always be the first encounter you have -- you'll often have non-Krell encounters, first.
