VN Ren'Py The Nature of Magic [Part 3] [Slate Interactive]

[GibboBtw]

It's more baffling that someone who plays a choice based game doesn't use the options to get the experience he likes or goes on a forum to whine about someone who does.

WOAH! Did I hit a sensitive spot or something? Chill dude. It's just an observation on a public forum. Not a personal attack against you...No need to get so rattled, and lash out.

You obviously can play how you like. I'm just saying in a game that's designed to be a Harem first and foremost. I'm gonna enjoy every girl the Dev throws my way. Otherwise I'm just missing out. It'd be like playing Mass Effect, but only playing the main quests, and ignoring half of the game. But if that's how you play ball, you do you man.

No problem sorry if I sounded rude but I pick and choose the girls I like and that's my appeal to harem games. Like I said I love the game but when a woman says things or acts like I don't like I remove them and stick to the ones I do like. So we play the games for different reasons I just like the girls that give a warm personal connection and not the pro cock gobblers, lesbians or ones that talk about previous sexual partners during sex. Hope I explained why I pick and choose and again didn't want to be overly rude.

It genuinely amazes me everytime I remember people exist who play Harem games, but don't actually go for the Harem option. And instead opt for a 'pick and choose' approach.

Baffling to me...

That's been me in many games and it really depends on many reasons, if I feel like their combined route feels weaker I would rather experience one good route than 5 weak ones if that makes sense.

For me to pick a harem first it has to have interesting girls of course, but it has to make sense in the world they are building, so for example to me a fantasy or post-apocalyptic world I will probably just accept a harem as something that's normal but a story with a normal world with nothing out of the ordinary happening with a harem I will probably just pick one of the girls. Bonus points for me when the dev takes time to explain how that relationship will work with everyone involved.

In the case of Nature of Magic, I probably just go full harem since the game and everything seems to be built for that.

Yes totally agree it's fun to play this game I really like it but some things I really dislike like the constant lesbians that every game the last 5 years shove down your throat in every game. I don't want the dev to change anything for me I am perfectly happy with other girls and I also understand why others go full harem. Why I dislike Cer so much is because I think it's really weird how she is written I can't like a woman who says she saved herself for me because she loves me then tells me she wants to fuck the other girls and immediately when having sex starts talking about how she's been around. These things I just don't like so I pick and choose. Still amazing game.

Happy Holidays and Happy One Year Anniversary to The Nature of Magic!

It's been a strong first year for TNoM, and I count myself fortunate to have found a following of folks who are as fond of the story as I am.

With red and green being the colors of the season, this year's wallpaper features 'The Three Grym Women'.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season and on to another (hopefully) great year for TNoM!

Do you expect the MC's parents to play an active role in the rest of the game? Or at least the mother? It seems like she is quite important to the old man's plans and they were quite important in the MC's upbringing? I could imagine them staying offscreen, what do you people think?

no i don't think the mc's parents will play a active role.

the parents are non-magical people,so far the main plot line seems to be to "discover the nature of magic" with a side plot off the magic family's who also happen to be largely in controle off the politics across the world.
the parents it seems they wanted the MC to grow up as a "normal" person away from the magic and political environment.

i think we'll see a small appearance maybe,not that it's impossible to write a story where they are somehow involved somehow,possibly as scientists who looked into magic,or some anti magic activist group.

I thought that too, but the codex mentions that the main character's mother does have the affiniy. I believe it's not mentioned in any dialogue.

Why this game keeps freezing my pc everytime i play out of nowhere? If, somehow, i can't close the game, then i can't do shit about my pc can't open any program, windows key doesn't work, the only way is to force power off.

Same thing happened to me when I was trying to play Shale Hill Secrets. I didn't bother trying to fix that, but my suspicion was conflict on how my Nvidia graphics card and game tried to do things.

How could you not want Mama B'Aer?

I want a threesome with the main LI and MC with her and with ab licking and all

Make a big warning that Aine is a femdom path so players who don't like it can ignore it. Or just make dialogue that allows them to refuse to play with you using magic.

My CPU dropped to 2% in task manager every time that happened.

Assuming your controllers are updated, I would also try with a different renderer, Shift + G while ingame and pick either GL2 or Angle2. See if it doesn't crash with any of them forced.

If it only happens during animations, try turning off the scrying setting in Options. Those are a bit more system intensive, and why the option to turn them off was added.

Runs just fine on my 7 yo mac.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
