VN Ren'Py Tides of Succession [Ch.1.5 v0.1.5] [TakMycket]

[Joshy92]

I can't believe I missed this. I had been keeping an eye on spice pirate for a while so to see this awesome game pop up is good news.

And the dev likes monogamy just like me, so I have try this.

You can't fool us, Joshy. We know you too well.
But yes, you definitely should give it a go.

All 3 LIs are awesome in my opinion, I'm playing paths for all of them.

 

[Clemency]

Alright. I have decided, for my run, I will romance Zelene!

Wait, dammit, Lorelei. Lorelei. Lorelei is a redhead in spirit even if not in the physical.

Zelene is not an LI.

What about Kasula? She's a redhead.

 

[Clemency]

Zelene is not an LI.

What about Kasula? She's a redhead.

I know. I just think she is very gorgeous.

Redhead is a vibe. It's fine. I like Lorelei a lot more from what we had. The LI path is not set yet anyway so my choices can still change in v0.2.

That she is. (Far too good for Henricus).

And we really don't know anything about Glade yet.

 

[AlexMpog]

That she is. (Far too good for Henricus).

I might have forgotten how exactly does this "eye thing" work for Henricus after he "removed" his eyes, but smth tells me he wouldn't have been able to enjoy Zelene's beauty anyways not to the fullest at least)

Wait, dammit, Lorelei. Lorelei. Lorelei is a redhead in spirit even if not in the physical.

hah
My first thoughts about Lorelei after seeing her - "absolutely fucking stunning"

I can't believe I missed this. I had been keeping an eye on spice pirate for a while so to see this awesome game pop up is good news.

You won't regret it Joshy, 1st chapter was fantastic in a matter of both Lore and Chars

 

[JillybeanEnjoyer]

Is this a Leap of Faith reference???

 

[D4rkK1ng]

What is this?, a medieval and fantasy VN with Monogamy and 3 beautiful LIs?... count me in
Pretty good start in my opinion with good soundtrack and great visuals and personally i liked 2 Lis, albeit is too soon i will probably gonna check all the endings by the end. Also i liked the fact that the dev is preparing a trilogy and some non li maybe gonna be LI in the upcoming sequels nice touch.
Im gonna keep it in my VN list and keep an eye for the next update for sure, great work dev.

The only downside I see, is that TakMycket has created 3 amazing, nice & beautiful LIs, and I'm really not sure how he can improve on it in parts 2 & 3.

 

[MagicShoppe]

So, that's it 3 LIs is someone's limit?

 

[MiltonPowers]

So, that's it 3 LIs is someone's limit?

Not sure what you're actually asking. There's only 3 LIs part 1 of the trilogy.

 

[AlexMpog]

So, that's it 3 LIs is someone's limit?

Ehh, for a monogamous game 3 LIs is more than enough, it's already 3 paths.
Besides LI's routes add to this also major plot branching - at least major 2 routes so far (fight Spice weaver or not). Not even mentioning some minor ones.

So, I would assume it's already plenty of work for TakMycket .

Also like Milton said - it's a trilogy, some girls from TidesOfSuccession will be LIs in other games of thrilogy.

In just chapter 1, there is already a few major branch choices that I feel are going to significantly change the story, depending on your choices (that's a lot of branching).

Make a spice vow with Lorelei or don't.
Extend the Olive Branch with Will.
Tell King Lovell about the R'ol Queen or don't.
Align with Glade or don't.

yeah, but personally I think these are more like minor branches: (which still require lot's of work)
1) Make a spice vow with Lorelei or don't.
2) Extend the Olive Branch with Will.
3) Tell King Lovell about the R'ol Queen or don't.

The last one on the other hand (4) Align with Glade or don't - fight Spice weaver or not) - even the game gives you notification that it will impact the story significantly.

yeah, but personally I think these are more like manor branches:
1) Make a spice vow with Lorelei or don't.
2) Extend the Olive Branch with Will.
3) Tell King Lovell about the R'ol Queen or don't.

The last one on the other hand (4) Align with Glade or don't - fight Spice weaver or not) - even the game gives you notification that it will impact the story significantly.

I agree there is already a lot of work in a game and a lot of paths/sub-paths, can't imagine if there were 5-6 LIs like some non-harem games do, usually plot in those games is more linear so Devs can afford to maintain a bigger amount of LIs. Basically choices in those games are about - to engage with a LI or not.

BTW I remember that the choice "Make a spice vow with Lorelei or don't" can lead to a some character death in future (read this in WT), so yeah, every choice I would say is very impactful.

I don't know how impactful to the story they will be, what I meant is that it is going to increase branching and work. For example, if King Lovell knows about the queen it's going to be a very different conversation and reaction to things than if he doesn't. Same as the Will thing, if you become friends and he helps you in whatever, then the renders and some dialogue will be different.

 

[TakMycket]

I have no doubt that by the time Tides of Succession is done, it will be in the conversation for AVN with best branching. Not only will your choices impact which LI you pursue, but they'll also influence the direction of the story (although, the story will never split into entirely separate paths to keep the workload reasonable). My aim with pathing is realism -> each character will react realistically to the situation presented in front of them.

Each major Love path (there are 3 major Love paths - one for each LI) will also have its own variations which will significantly alter the feel of the path. For example, Lorelei's Love Path is the major path, but its variations are Possessive Lorelei, Sweet Lorelei and Partner Lorelei. Each of these minor paths will result in Lorelei's ending and will have similar content throughout, but there will be many variations between the 3 of them, to the point where it would be worth it to do another play-through to see a different 'minor' variation.

With regards to plot branching, Allegiance Paths are going to play a huge role early on. Alas, as the primary conflict emerges and the priorities of the characters start to aline more with one another, the Allegiance Paths will have a less of an impact on the story.

In the upcoming release of Chapter 1.5, there will be a grand total of 9 dialogue lines that every player is guaranteed to see. The rest are hidden behind either Allegiance paths or love paths.

Very ambitious and, I for one, am very excited to see where the journey takes us.
