VN Ren'Py SpaceCorps XXX [S2 v2.9.5] [RanliLabz]

Well the psycorps could be a kind of specialist division that involves the most covert missions of the highest secrecy

That's why they off the radar and trying to get everyone their mind set on no eight branch to ensure the members stay hidden in the shadows

They could be scattered among the 7 branches and watch over them from within protecting them from xeno psy attack and seeking treasonous thoughs in their squad.

Alternatively it might be that the psychics are divided up amoung the various branches to root out disloyalty and locate additional psychics as they are drafted into the cor ... sitjf dgwh yfudhshaj fudu ... lemon curry?

 

[michael1984]

they are all valid points to consider and all of those points could become a reality perhaps

lets wait and see what the dev will cook up for that path seeing there is plenty of emphasize on the no eight branch so im sure there will be a storyline for that specific route

But I have to say that's a lot of work even with just 7 branches its gotta take a whole lotta work to get done not even mentioning the no eight branch added

But that's a worry for the future seeing as we have a long ways to go still

Still have to say the psy powers could be a gud thing if they are not too over powering to make a negative impact feel on the game

were as the beastmode power feels like there is more playroom to actually get beaten still … Were as the psy powers would clearly beat anyone with no psy powers

Fortunately, there is no 8th Branch

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

A good guess, considering my style, but you'll be finding out what happened to Bailey in a flashback... Hint: she absconded at the same time as Cole... and has done rather well for herself Villain alert!

Cole's a dick. You might feel a bit sorry for him when you find out where he's been the last year, though...

My guesses would be that Cole must have been caught by Spacecorps and sent to some prison with a bunch of horny aliens for the whole year as punishment.
Meanwhile Bailey escaped and joined some criminal organization.

Good guess - I’d say that’s about 40% correct

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

I wonder which part...

 

[Dreadder]

My guesses would be that Cole must have been caught by Spacecorps and sent to some prison with a bunch of horny aliens for the whole year as punishment.
Meanwhile Bailey escaped and joined some criminal organization.

Well, if I'd have to take a guess, I'd say she joined the rebels. As for Cole, could it be that she screwed him over/used him somehow? He didn't really look like the one with brains or balls in that particular pair. It's also possible he was relieved when Spacecorps finally caught him - not because of him growing a conscious, but because of him being in... extremely unpleasant circumstances...

I admit I wanted to pay him back big time for everything and crush him into dust at first so I chose the rude options against him but the more MC interacted with him, the more I felt pity for him - hell, it was like kicking a beaten wet (erm, nonsexually wet, that is) castrated dog. Besides, he doesn't act like a complete douche if you don't push him or openly pity him too much, so it looks to me that his assholeness is simply a kind of defence mechanism. So, while my MC probably won't make friends with him, he just doesn't seem worth MC's ire. *shrugs*

Now Bailey on the other hand - I can't wait to pound her little ass into ground for a little payback.

Everyone is thinking 8th branch is psi ops, but what if it is lovecraftian instead? Hear me out. Tentacles. Every. Where. Nice.

If it is psy ops, the "official" badge should be a cyclops with an Illuminati eye. (cyclops and psy ops/psy corps sounds similar and they rely on their "vision", plus Illuminati just because.)

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Repeat after me: There is no 8TH branch.

 

[michael1984]

There is no 8th branch.... wait what was I thinking about I cant remember

You are now 60% right

Yes, Cole's actually not a monster (yet, lol - depends which path you take in future!) and is still 'saveable' or ignorable. Bailey is actually a genuinely bad person... one of the few in the game... and revenge upon her can be sweet

 

[Dreadder]

We're getting closer, lads! Keep on guessing and we'll get there eventually. Well, either that or wait and see but that would be rather boring.

And I can't wait for that sweet revenge.

 

[somebodynobody]

We all know Cole is just a shit spy, he was in training/education by his evil girlfriend. So we have to give him a change of heart to switch sides, or you know he will betray us in the end for her.

I just finished playing this for the first time, and would like to give my impressions of the game. First of all, it is a solid game for a Ren'Py project. I find it rather linear, but that is a problem with most Ren'Py projects. It's a fresh setting, and the humor is interesting. There are some things that need some work:

1. You really need to revise your ranking structure. As it is, it makes no sense at all. I understand that this is an alternate future setting, which gives you some leeway; but there is a long tradition of rank structures that is being muddled here, which makes no sense to those of us from the military.
   • Sergeants are non-commissioned officers (NCOs), which are NOT considered officers at all in the military. Take it from a Navy veteran, NCOs are not permitted in the officer's clubs, officer's mess, or "the officer's showers". If you're going to have a sergeant permitted to use the Officer's facilities, it would be better to explain that as the Drill Sergeant she is afforded that luxury to maintain distance from the conscripts that she is training. Alternately you could change the Sergeant into a Warrant Officer (often refered to as Warrant), which is often the route enlisted persons take to become officers.
   • An Ensign IS an officer. If you want Cis to NOT be an officer, I suggest you call her a "Cadet" rather than Ensign. Ensign would be reserved for when she finished flight school most likely at which point she would be an officer and could order a sergeant around. Ensign is only a naval rank, but most space-based military organizations are based on Naval Tradition, so that fits.
2. I was happy with most of your work in keeping the content friendly to the reader regardless of their preferences. There was only one instance that this failed me, and it was rather upsetting:
   • Spoiler: My Rage Moment

     I don't expect you to change the scene based on my experience with it, but I thought I would let you know how I felt since it was the ONLY scene I had any major issue with.
3. I thoroughly enjoyed the game despite the above issues, and will be contributing to your SubscribeStar page shortly (As I am morally opposed to Patreon). Thank you for an overall enjoyable experience.

Hi Elerneron! And thanks for Subscribing! Much appreciated! Really glad you enjoyed playing the game, and onto your comments:
1. SpaceCorps has a very different rank structure to our current militaries - it's 1000 years in the future and is the result of the merger of all Earth and other Union planet military structures... along with Unions, health-care systems, etc. I actually discuss the rank differences within the game at several points (e.g. MC's surprise that the Nurse outranks the Sergeant). Although my only military experience is a couple of years in the Cadets (UK), I've done a fair bit of reading about comparative ranks, and quite carefully structured it all.

The Union is an extremely militarised (to the point of quasi-fascist) society, but with a surprisingly progressive streak. They've completely erased the distinction between NCO and Officer - meaning every member of SpaceCorps starts as a Cadet, the next rung in several branches is Ensign, and Sergeants are considered mid-ranking officers. The fact that the NCO/Officer distinction has begun to re-emerge despite this will be part of the storyline (e.g. the Officer's Showers are actually non-reg... a bit of onboard corruption )

2. I can appreciate your issue with the 'Saving Anna' scene - because it was a mission-style encounter, I actually designed it to present you with a stark choice, but I also feel it's consistent with the narrative (i.e. that if you attack a Sergeant in an organisation like SpaceCorps, you probably will die - whether at her hands or in the court-martial. Whether you're in the right or not.) Hopefully, the rage you feel toward the Sergeant will make bringing her to justice or to heel all the sweeter.

3. Thanks!

Heh, I know what you mean but since most games and even some SF stories like Ender's game (damn, did that one annoy me) only seem to know privates, sergeants, captains and generals, I kind of got used to it myself.

Judging from your post I'd guess you're either from US or some Commonwealth country, right? Because a warrant officer is a rank not used in other militaries and as for ensign - similar rank is actually used for a NCO rank or an officer cadet in some European militaries. Though to be fair, the rank structure in Spacecorps does seem to loosely follow the US system, if nothing else by language being used. Using officer cadet might be a better choice - it would make sense however, that Spacecorps changed the ranking system quite a bit. Sure, no organization is as bound to tradition as is the military - navy even more so, but keep in mind that several thousand years have passed since "our" ranking structure was used. If nothing else, historical ranks left some "strange" marks on contemporary rank structure as well - like lieutenant general outranking a major general for instance.

As for not having a non-femdom option for saving Anne - yeah, I feel you there. I'd love to have a more dominant option but Sarge easily killing MC did make much more sense than him achieving anything by it. She is a trained and highly experienced killing machine, while he is nothing but a naive country bumpkin for now. I suppose one way to add a less femdom option could be that MC decides to attack Sarge and while she easily throws him around and is completely amused by him even trying something like that (though she might feel a bit of respect for him having the balls) they get interrupted by a Volchak MP who drags MC's sorry ass to the brig.

 

[michael1984]

I for one didn't mind the rescue of Anna part simply because even if it was femdom it was basicly just a bit of p.ssy licking dwl

But I am mostly against femdom stuff so it did bug me a bit that we only had femdom choices but considering the end result we got Anna back and the look on sarge her face was priceless and gud enough for me to handle some femdom
