There is something seriously wrong with the overprotective "guardians" in here, first the shit with Serra's quest and then with Gracie's, shouldn't that be Alex's thing as a person who actually raised them ? I was enjoying the game until these damn annoying encounters, if the mc was a complete base bastard then at least their attitude would've been tolerated coming from the complete strangers but i doubt dev envisioned mc like that + the fact that they all have known each other since childhood.

Some dialog choices would've been nice like with Alex's boss, no new renders or different scenarios are required there.
I certainly won't even try to slip a suggestion regarding putting/removing any stuff which may sound like an obtrusive way of telling dev how to build their game just because i don't like it. I would straight up drop it if it comes to that, no problems.

Will keep an eye on this for the time being, so back to lurking.

The people are asking for more scene with Alex (or just me) and Celeste (if she does not remain a tsundere throughout the game, it's cute at first but it can quickly get boring).

The fights are way too slow, there should be an option to skip the animations.
I might also add a fast travel option to go from one world to another (it's boring to always have to go back to the crystal).

I must admit, I miss Demon Celeste. It fit her tsundere well, and she was cute, but mostly, my favourite scene from the old game was the one after you'd seen her transformation and she completely lost it at you... because she was terrified she might have hurt you with her fire. I'm not sure how you could have an equivalent in the new version, without the MC being a twat around firearms anyway. And poor gun safety is a massive turnoff.

If we are going to be a Saber-class in the Weaponmaster guild, I hope we get sword beams : v

Hey Glacerose pleeeeeease add an outfit system, i am begging you. Btw awsome game keep going.
multiple outfits would probably mean multiple renders of an already render heavy game (a guess on my part). Personally I'd rather Galcerose spent the time on game content and story than paper doll dress up content. Personally I hate Celeste's hair in the magic dimension - aint gonna stop me from pursuing her!!!:love::love::love::LOL::LOL::LOL:

I agree. In theory I am all for having a choice (like the sluttiness or normalness of clothing, hairstyles) because different players prefer different stuff. However, that already can be quite some work in sprite based games. In render games it is nigh impossible. Even if only 2 options per character exist that means double the rendering (it is of course only the technical time for the actual render, since all the setup work has been done). Have 3 characters in a scene? 8 possible combinations. With three options and a 4 character scene, every render would need to be made 81 times. There would be some tricks you can apply to reduce this, but both development time (well, only rendering time) and file size would explode. Just not practical as nice as it would be.

The game Noble Priviledge does it with small clothing overlays. Pose the master scene, render with no clothes, fit the clothes, hide everything but the clothes, render the outfit with a transparent background, repeat for every outfit. Call the master scene, lay the clothing on top to display.

The abandoned game? :unsure:

That's a lot of behind the scenes state maintenance and makes drawing every scene more complex...

That's a lot of behind the scenes state maintenance and makes drawing every scene more complex...

The newest version of Ren'Py (which has just reached pre-release state) has even a 3D perspective; So in theory you could render the whole scene on Ren'Py itself (and not just clothing). But eh, having to input to coordinates yourself versus letting a program do that dirty work for you while letting you focus on the actual visuals... It probably will take months if not years until that becomes more doable.



Ren'Py is moving in an interesting direction, though, so while I highly doubt it would be doable here it is possible that in future, implementing outfits feature become simple for ren'py devs instead of the current dreadful situation.

But I would not bet on that. Ren'Py has Live2D for a while and yet, most of Ren'Py games here doesn't use it.

My earlier save seemed to be working, but I decided to start over just in case. I was reminded that this was the image that hooked me:

I've been on F95 too long!
Right after installing 0.21, I went to the OP thinking, "I need to see if they've updated the Ipat....oh, right."

Interesting approach but as others I think that is either a boatload of work to get the clothing overlays just right or you are limiting yourself to only a handful of positioning options for the characters - otherwise every bit of clothing behind an arm would need to be cut out manually and such stuff. If it worked I'd be all for it.

Keep getting an error message every time Alex tries to talk to everyone about their "strange dreams" and i have to keep clicking ignore to go forward. Its only when alex talks and not with the other characters. It was going fine till the girls entered the room for the "talk".

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Might want to speed up the combat animation/transition or allow skipping to action/move, from what i can tell it'll be a frequent feature of the game and it's already starting to feel like a chore because of it's pace.

P.S - I implore dual sword wielding for weaponmaster class.
Here's my reasoning- It'll look super cool. With correct stance. That's it, i got nothing else.

I thought that beach scene was an accident but it turns out it's her personality. I hope dev don't force us to have a relationship with her. Like, in the story we should not be close buddy buddy. I started new game and avoided playing her content. I am not into that fetish. If I don't like her, it doesn't matter if she will change her personality or not.
...
Also, someone already mention it but wtf is really wrong with people? They acting like they're the girl's guardian angel and threatening MC who actually knows the girl his whole life and grew up with.....
...
Please keep your opinion to yourself if you don't agree with me. I have already read three pages of comment which don't agree with me. So, no need to drag me into that pit hole as well.
