VN Ren'Py The Swordbearer [v0.11] [Caramel Cowboy]

[TheNowhereWolf]

Just had the scene with Samira, unsure at this point in the game If she Is main or side girl but I am really hoping she's main. I have seen talk of a vampire girl on here though so she may have competition...

Edit: It seems like Aren get's all the red heads so far, couldn't tell 100% if the prostitute at the start was one, personally wasn't too interested in the travelling merchant girl but disappointed about Iselda.

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: Finished the update, almost immediately after my last edit the librarian red head showed up, I should learn to be patient. I'm liking the humor a lot in this, seems to be balanced well so far with the more serious stuff too and having humor Is always more welcome than full blown doom and gloom for me personally. I am also now a little more interested in the big bad vamp guy since seeing him have a change of heart with Bernard, seems like there may be more to him than just wanting power.

Leliana Is best girl so far for me with Samira in second, not sure where any others sit yet.

Does anyone have the translation for what glows on Gareths hammer in Chapter 10?
It looks Norse, I had ones under the Wizard tat I had spelling "Magic-Man" in Norse runes, which look al ot like these in the VN.
A few letters I recognize like the left looks like "A-E-?-D I think, where the right might be ?-E-T-L but am lost on the other "tree" looking one, AND how they are supposed to make actual words.

To the dev
You should change all your grace to your majesty.
Your Grace is used when addressing dukes, not kings.
It is quite jarring, for me at least.

It may be wrong but it also sounds equality acceptable to me. Might be because ive seen some shows like Game of thrones and they use " your grace" instead as well. So I think alot of people might be used to that term more cause of that show and I think ive seen in a few other things when addressing a king as well. So kinda of seems to me entertainment might of swayed from only using your majesty to either or.

“Your Grace” is the modern way of addressing a duke or a marquess. Until Tudor times it was also the way to address the King, but the modern form is “your majesty”.

There, now your immersion is saved

Once I got over the devastating fact that this isn't about a sword wielding bear, then it was a good time. The MC and style of humour kinda reminds me of Leap of Faith. I was mainly forgiving because of sword wife... yeah you may have studied the blade but I'mma get matrimonial with one.

Here my Mod with a gallery unlocker and the continued WT from LaikDink

Some of these "correct" choices seem iffy...

A WT mod shouldn't be highlighting rando options as the correct choice unless there's an objective reason to pick them.

I removed the continued LaikDink Mod now again. There is the other one with using URM and UCD anyway

Each of us have our own OCD issues of course but... I doubt too many people - especially the dev - would care about the terminology really!!! LOL!!!

What did ya'll do about Damiens offer? I rejected it because it didn't make sense to me, i mean the only reason the offer came up is because they couldn't kill you. Though i feel like if you reject the offer you'll probably miss out on significant content since you'll probably get side quests later.

I mean i get it if the characters mentioned inflitrating the organization to bring it down or something, it is a criminal organization. They target innocent people, and they would have killed other innocent people passing by. So it'll be really odd to then go and accept the offer.

I rejected as well, I think it's there to give an Evil option, but it feels weird for our current group to join...

I turned it down too, it really didn't fit at all with how I understand or am playing the the MC to be. If we do end up missing content because of it, I'll have to go back and do another path for it, but I'm not that concerned for now.

Hey everyone. Sorry the update is a few days late. I had a bunch of family events to go to over the holidays. Too sleepy right now to count the renders but it should be around 600. I've also done some animations for this episode so that was fun. I'll have an ETA on the release date in the next weekly update. Shouldn't be too far away since the progress has been pretty good this time. I'll be celebrating new years chilling at home working on the VN. I need a break from social events. I hope all of you have a great week and a great new years!

I believe this type of option was given a bit too early given the inexperienced nature of the MC. He hasn't faced scenarios which would lead him to question his own morals, and the village quest was the first example of him confronting the reality that not everyone can be saved (although it was rather muted in this instance).

My favorite example of a character experiencing this type of growth is Sheperd in Mass Effect 3 where we deal with morally ambiguous decisions (i.e. being forced to side with either the Geth or Quarians). That catalyst that allows these types of choices to make sense in the overall narrative is witnessing your own home planet facing devastation from an unfathomably powerful species, further supported by the events on Palaven. To tie it back to this story, the first couple of encounters with the vampires are what will ultimately open up paths in which the MC could believably choose a morally dubious option as opposed to always being the "good guy".

Hey all!

Faced some animation issues with the software(Daz) where it would render images just fine but crashed every time I tried rendering an animation. (If any of you use daz and have faced this, feel free to weigh in). Couldn't find a fix for a few days so I just rendered the frames on their own and put them together.

Anyway! I'm 100% done with the script and the coding. A few scenes need to be worked on which I'll then throw in the code. I'm estimating 10-12 days for the release but I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

Hope you all had a great start of 2025.

Just so you have some historical perspective, in medieval Britain (since this seems to be its stand in setting), "Your Grace" or "My Lord" was actually preferred by English and Scottish monarchs. Richard II, one of the most egotistical British kings (and that's certainly saying something), demanded "Your Majesty" be used. However, when he was displaced by Henry Bolingbroke, the old style returned and remained until Henry VIII in the Tudor period. So, "Your Grace" is perfectly legitimate, not that it matters, really.
