VN Ren'Py Superhuman [v0.996 Public] [WeirdWorld]

Don't worry. You guys get the "Power of Friendship" as your cool feature.
If you haven't noticed, Corruption begets the MC to consume at the bits one by one at the ties that bond you with your friends.
No corruption route lets you have friends instead of enemies/victims.
That's Your Low Corruption feature. The "Power of Friendship".

There are 42 corruption conditionals in the current game. Generally speaking they are as you note- they just give the corrupt player more content via them understanding the language of the monsters and alternative solutions. There is a bit of flavor text on either side- which makes the corrupt player seem like a bit more of a bastard than the other for those who care about that.

Super high corruption can lead to at least one bad end.

When the CR stat and some of the situations rolled out I thought corruption points would force the MC to kill some of his allies, it may force you to eat a random NPC or so- but it hasn't really done that yet with any character with a long plot-line. The corruption player gets to have their cake and eat it too, so I kinda agree with your criticism. Lightly of course, b/c those consequences may still be coming, or the benefits of being power-of friendship and having low CR might still be coming too.

its funny how during normal convo all the chars look one way and then during sex scenes and fight scenes etc they get a higher definition that looks way better. it makes you want the high def more than the low def.

WeirdWorld will probably end up remaking old art and common sprites at a later date. Right now, it seems like they'd rather focus on moving the game forward, and probably come back once the game is over to update and clean up what needs to. It's actualyl a really smart way to go about it, since there are plenty of devs who decided to spent multiple updates just doing replacing and cleanup who ended up losing a lot of support because the game itself wasn't progressing.
Plus, honestly, if you push past the first 15 minutes, the quality of the story works for itself : I, myself, got put off the game twice because of the art. I ended up caving in and trying it because I was bored, between games, and wanted something to play. And the story hooked me so hard I couldn't put the game down, and even ended up getting used to the art to the point of liking it.

Honestly, if WeirdWorld ends up remaking older scenes like I suspect they might plan to, I really hope they leave the old art in the gallery at least, maybe with a button to switch between the old and new to show how far they've come on their artistic skills. And to not just make the old art dissapeared. Sure, it might be janky at times, but it's honestly got its own unique charm and sexyness.

Could have sworn I saw an image of an eel in the brief "visit the zoo and genetically disassemble one of gods unfortunate creatures" scenes but idk, could be mistaken, might have been a conger eel instead, not electrical but vicious little shits regardless.

Also pretty sure there's a variety of Ray that can discharge electricity, though again not sure it's come up at all. Nature be crazy sometimes.

TL;DR don't bother with the Zoo, just send the MC to Australia for a month, he'll be unbeatable

I could also very well be misremembering. I'm not like Drako, I haven't played the game 10 times already.

In the third evolution scene the eye said some weird shit about "If you want to reach the hieghts you shouldn't miss X Y and Z and devour them" or smt.
It made me wonder if not having enough corruption will be stopping factor at some point

Going for corrupting actions does give you a lot more power, but you can avoid getting locked out of some content without it as well. It's just a bit more complicated since you need to be careful to hit every possible point gain.
As a rule of thumb, always do all the training possible, and if you get chances to spar/train with Michael, take it.

As for knowing the stats gap between no corruption and full corruption... DrakoGhoul ? You got the number, buddy ?

I really like the old and new art tho. Both fit really well with the goth concept. I think it works in his favor if he only upgrades the art in the sex scenes as the contrast will elevate them more.

I'm not even sure. My 0 Corruption playthrough has 337 PP and 34 Skills. I could obviously get it higher if I chose money from Tiffany or power from the Shopkeep but it's unlikely that a 0 Corruption run can get to the max amount of power. That being 363 PP. I'm only guessing but if you did a perfect 0 Corruption run, I think you could end up around the 350 PP ballpark. If you let Laurie die then it should be easier to cross but I feel like that goes against a 0 Corruption playstyle, personally.

For my max corruption dude, he has the max PP allowed, 363. His corruption is 49. It's impossible to reach 363 PP without letting Laurie die. At least, in the current update. You would be missing out on the power that Aglaecwif gives you. This is all from a legit playthrough. You could obviously edit your stats higher if that's your thing.

So I believe there's around a 10 PP gap between a 0 Corruption playthrough and a Max Corruption one.

With the altered checks Weirdworld put in once he dropped the public version of the last update you can absolutely save Laurie and pay Aglaecwif a visit. In fact, once the update dropped I had to in order to save Laurie, because my first playthrough I decided to do a corrupted skill run where I didn't kill any major characters or non-combatants, and Aglaecwif's power boost was the only thing capable of getting me to 100 PP. Whilst there might be another use for it later down the line, for the time being trading the eye to Aglaecwif is just better for stats.

I think you misunderstood me there. I'm saying you can't get the additional power from Aglaecwif because you have to save Laurie by receiving skill from her. That's why it's impossible to reach 363 Power Points and save Laurie with this current version of the game. You have to get the power from Aglaecwif which means you don't meet the skill requirement of 27 to save her.

If you chose the eye, your PP would be lower during that encounter. So even if you chose power and skill from Aglaecwif that way, it would still be lower than if you chose the horn instead.

 

[KKStrider]

With the eye you should have been able to ask for both though. That's what I did.

 

[DrakoGhoul]

But you're weaker, which is my point. You can't reach 363 power points that way.

 

[KKStrider]

Isn't asking Aglaecwif for both power and skill just flat out better than using the Horn? Asking Shopkeep for the horn grants 10 PP, asking for the the eye and trading it to Aglaecwif like I did for both power and skill grants 10PP and 3 skill as well.

No, and I'll tell you why.

When you ask Aglaecwif for power and skill because of choosing the eye, what power you have? If it's sub 100, I don't need to expand on it any further.

When you choose the horn, you'll be 105, I believe. Choosing power from Aglaecwif then boost you to 115. Laurie will die doing it this way because you're a point or 2 lower of the skill requirement. This is why you can't get 363 and have Laurie survive the encounter, currently. You have to choose skills from Aglaecwif and have over 100 power already to save her. This is the way I did it on 2 or 3 of my playthroughs.

You don't need the eye at all to save Laurie and meet Aglaecwif. You just need to have 100 power beforehand and choose skill from her.

 

[KKStrider]

Ah, now I remember. I forgot about that fact.

 

[Seeker Of Truth]

Is there any way to meet aglaecwif and save Laurie? Which of choices do I need to make to achieve that outcome?

 

[Edvin]

Is there any way to meet aglaecwif and save Laurie? Which of choices do I need to make to achieve that outcome?

Well, yes...
But it's not just one or two decisions you have to make before meeting her.
It would be a bunch of specific decisions many hours before your meeting.

 

[Seeker Of Truth]

It would be a bunch of specific decisions many hours before your meeting.

From what I understand it's a Skill and Power Check right? And that Weird changed the check requirements in the final public version released?
Any idea what is the minimum power and skill requirements for this?

 

[KKStrider]

100 power and 28 skill.
