RPGM Star Knightess Aura [v0.44.0] [aura-dev]

[tneer2]

After a year of waiting for new content on this game, I have to say that I'M DISSAPOINTED.


I've gotten close to end-game content and yet I barely saw 8 unique artworks.
For a game that's been in development for over TWO YEARS, this is unacceptable.

I need to remind the dev that this is not a "text-based" game and cannot get away with such lacking art.
This is honestly the game's only lacking element.

Other than that, the game is actually quite decent. But unfortunately, too much time must be spent to even get an H scene. So the time spent on this is not worth it, in my opinion.

There are 34 unique CGs according to the changelog. But yeah, this isn't a game you should play if you consider the gameplay, corruption themes and/or story to be dead weight; the H is too sparse for that. That's like 1 per hour, and that's if you do every H-scene, and it's going to be more weighted towards the latter half of a playthrough.

Theres some possibilities with using a base drawn image and AI filtering it to look like AI art, roundscape tested it out with mixed results biggest problem being they didn't touch up the AI art any manually afterwards. In SKA there's many scenes are not very anatomically informed which could benefit from it and it might speed up the implementation of new cg's.

In this scenario are you suggesting the main game dev spend dev time mess around with AI art, that he pay his commissioned artist to mess around with AI art instead of drawing, or he hire a separate "AI artist" to mess around with AI art? All three options sound like different degrees of poor choices. That's just from a time/money cost perspective. There's also the general anti-AI sentiment and legal issues that I would personally stay away from if at all possible. It might also get the game banned from Steam.
Also, as you mentioned, the anatomy/proportions are all over the place. Excluding a few scenes where I can't "unsee" some of the more extreme proportions I really don't think I would classify it as bad or anything. That said, I don't see generated images being able to match the very stylized visuals of the current art style. Keep in mind that the game's supporters voted to give more money to the same artist rather than getting a second artist. To me that suggests that they were concerned about the art style losing some of its consistency. As such, I doubt they would be too happy if Aura-Dev announced that generated art was being used for "filler scenes" to speed up the development process.

I wish seeing how much base willpower you have was easier
Like your current willpower without the curses and corruption modifiers
Same with other stats
Also would like to be able to see if a stance is on or off in the skills menu.

 

[DumbSissyAlice]

It's already there. If for example Defensive Stance is on then it's written as "Stance: Defensive Stance". If it's off then it's written as "Defensive Stance"

 

[Nachtmusik]

I don't know how it'll work for everyone, but I use this to unlock the whole gallery, just go into /data folder in the game then replace it. As long as you unlock the first Date With Herman at the beginning you all of them should be unlock.
If someone can compile it for Android as well that'll be golden. I gave it a try but it keeps giving error "syntax error unexpected token ' . ' "

 

[DownWith]

Something in the guild questline appears to be broken.
I completed the Winged Pig Thief quest. I did the little imp exclamation mark event on the map. I finished the Orc quest.
There are no new quests in the guild.


Perhaps something to do with finishing "getting started" quest late?
I went back and finished it before the 3rd quest and the event.

Still no 4th quest.

After killing the imp you should get access to the merchant's guild, which should continue the main story. You might need to pass a day after killing it before you gain access. I don't think so, but I don't have time to check at the moment. There are also a number of other little things that you could have missed. It's hard to say only knowing that you have finished the imp event.

A day passed and much more. But no 4th quest at the guild

Or is it that if you fail to do the Pig quest before the imp event the progression breaks?

No, it shouldn't. Best thing is to attach your save.

Save 101 - is a later where I realised the problem.
Also in this save I had Charlotte randomly gain a level. Even though I haven't done anything with her since the Pig quest.

Save 107 - is where I tried to go back and complete "getting started" quest first, but it didn't work

Do you see "Forest of Danger" in the quest log? You're supposed to go talk to Julian in the Trademond barracks.

Yes. It is in progress in 101 save and completed in 107 save.
Is it's completion neccessary for the 4th quest to appear in the guild?

 

[Pretentious Goblin]

Yes. It is in progress in 101 save and completed in 107 save.

I figured it out, you have to go the Congregation building in Trademond in save 101.

Thanks! I think it worked.
By this time in playthrough I kind of learned to ignore that big building.

wait, but does that account for the recolletion room where he stores all the story scenes? Because that's where the things in this update are I think.

Can you make one for earth recollection room ?

I didn't actually check the file, so this is entirely based on my understanding of how RPG maker works and programming in general, but it looks like the file just replaced the map (I assume the Roya replay room map) with a version of the map that has the scenes unlocked. If I am correct then it won't work for any other rooms, but it will let you see the new soap job CGs in a replay as long as there haven't been any "under the hood" changes that break it. As a general rule of thumb you shouldn't replace a file from a new version of the game with a file from an older version of the game unless you know it's compatible, you will break things more often than not. The only reason it (might) sort of work this time is because there aren't new Roya scenes.
