VN Ren'Py The Fiery Scion [Update 23b] [Vander]

[Vanderer]

Gods are actually real in your world, so are you going with The Divine Right Of Kings? Because, otherwise, all those nobles are in fact no different from commoners whose ancestors sailed to nobility on a river of blood.

It's looking increasingly like very few mortals can match MC in terms on raw magically power especially when in comes to fire.
There's really very little stopping MC establishing a new dynasty sooner or later. I know you said MC doesn't seek power but that hasn't be made very explicit or implicit in the game itself

One of the most powerful humans, yes, mortals...there's the high elves, not encountered yet in the VN. And Athagan, that would mop the floor with the MC in seconds. Even Sariel, and Roger, would beat him. They are old, cunning warriors with more tricks in their sleeves that hair on their heads. And dragons. And some other indiividual, some hostiles...

As far as the Crown, no, it is not bestowed to the Aetas Dynasty by any Gods. But, like said before, nobles are nobles...they want to hog the power to themselves. Not all of them, some are genuinely good people that wish the best for their subjects, like Athagan. But some of them are scheming assholes. And other just want to seize the power they can to protect their own in a slowly dying world .

And the MC, well...it's not explicitely stated, but...come on. He's not the type of guy to want to be behind a desk all day long pushing paperwork. And, he genuinely don't care for titles, except for what advantages they provide. And the advantage of being a King come with so much responsablilities... And look how it impacted Sariel life. No, he don't want any of that shit, he's far better off as the heir of Wildale from his POV.

Besides, the story is going to start to pick up soon, and he will going back to adventuring, so there will be less occasion for him.

When has adventuring stopped the MC from picking up damsels in distress?

So you're saying that amount of tricks Sariel has approaches 100k.

I'm waiting for him to concubine up the rest of the adventuring party. Wouldn't say no to that woodcutter who was in the strength competition... or of course the queen.

Also wanted to say the writing is fun. I actually take the time to read the dialog and enjoy where the story is going. Keep it up!

 

[Digitalzig]

Exactly. And several of the actuals LIs have personal stories that need to be resolved.

Now, I didn't say that no new women will join the harem, just that less of them will join now. Recently, there have been new concubines/wife every update or near that, and that's a little bit too much IMO. But the women the MC is currently interested in will have their stories resolved, and he's going to meet exceptional women that he's going to make his. The guy is what he is.

Besides, the story is going to start to pick up soon, and he will going back to adventuring, so there will be less occasion for him.

since he's now the royal breeder will he get to be with the queen? she did say everyone didn't she?

 

[Draugo]

since he's now the royal breeder will he get to be with the queen? she did say everyone didn't she?

I'm sorry to be that person since I normally am not, but this has been the actual topic for the past five or ten pages and has been answered many many times in that time.

Possibly in the far future but not guaranteed, no for a long time.

You Must trust in the Vanderer for he knows what is right! lol I had said before that I would have liked the option to negotiate further to become King, but that is my own power trip talking. It doesn't fit the character or the story.....and don't think it ever would. Vanderer hasn't faltered yet and hope he never does, so trust that he knows what most of his player base wants. As a Dev you're never going to be able to please everyone that plays your game(s). One good thing though is he's very communicative and seems open to constructive criticism. That alone makes ME a fan lol

guys, we have the MF Gengis Khan 2.0 with fire magic here. Insane number of wives, girlfriends, lovers, hookups, friends, sex buddies.

Nothing against it, the council always approves games like this.

Heeeee, Gengis Khan was rapey as fuck, and like to make pyramids with the skulls of his ennemies, including women and children. And cats. So...yeah, my MC is a nicer guy, I hope!

To think we let the skulls of all those invading orcs go to waste... well, next army of orcs we see, we'll know what to do.

The fashion in Aetas is more heads on pikes, more civilized.

The skulls are harder to drink from when they're so far off the ground.

can't wait untill we go to war, get a army ,besiege a city ,demand tribute of one thousand cats and one thousand swallows, get them,set them on fire just outside the city and release them, really bring out my inner genghis

 

[tbarton1455]

With the last update, makes me think that the dev enjoys a little Warhammer lol. Cult of Nergal and Sisters of War? You mean Nergle and Sisters of Battle? lol

While Vander may be familiar with WH, "Nergal" (with that spelling) is much, much, much older than Warhammer, being a Mesopotamian deity, and since the rest of the deities referenced in the game are also Mesopotamian (e.g. Ishtar, Ninkasi, Marduk, Ereshkigal), that's a much safer assumption.

Nurgle's name is very likely Games Workshop modifying Nergal's name, so it's more a matter of both Vander and GW using the same source material (Mesopotamian myth).

(Thinking something is a reference to pop culture should lead you to investigating the origins of the pop culture element you think is being referenced, since you may be missing a reference that the pop culture element is itself making.)

As for the Sisters of War, also probably not a WH reference. There's little to no similarity between them and the Adepta Sororitas, for instance.

 

[e6mill]

Got a surprise in the beer aisle of my local supermarket today.

 

[RobLocksley]

I forgot the game already has centaurs (since one became humanoid) but had asked if Vander might add fairies, (were)wolf/canine/lupine humanoids (since there will be cat humanoids) which would be interesting to know but no need to reveal all races being considered (keeps some mystery).

i had the same thing for a moment , the plague father would not make a good look for the gals ,but if vanderer ever feels the need to add some activist feminist zoomer im sure he'd give him some inspiration

Europeans or African swallows?

I do know a little bit of warhammer, especially rogue trader, but no, Nergal has nothing to do with Nergul. As for the SIsters of Mayhem, the idea of a sisterhood dedicated to battle was probably a little bit inspired by it unconsciously, but not consciously. I just think that a sisterhood of hots and strong women is appealing.

Faeries, yes. The others...probably not. Not too much into the furry thing to be honest.Centaurs...no, there's none...I think. I am kinda drunk right now, so I could be wrong.

Sorry for the late answer, I missed your last post, and I am vacationing right now.

 

[HiHaHo]

Europeans or African swallows?

do they different kind of ashes or just one burn better then the other?

edit: i totally missed that reference for a second lol ,it stuck whit me for a bit then i remembered
