Have a look and see if the statements covey the meaning you wanted;


By the way how do you code regen events in this version? Maybe I could try to put it into eli's.

AFAICT, you've just replaced a few words here and there, so it's kinda hard to say.

I'm not a fan of all these replacements, like 'coolest' (slightly anachronicstic), 'Alvish' -> 'Elvish' (consistency), 'torment' -> 'difficulty' (no big semantic difference, but IMO 'difficulty' makes the text 'flow' less well), 'earnest' -> 'pious' (she's praying for her life/virtue, not because she wants to look religious :D ), 'rebellious' -> 'nearby' o_O, 'his horns' -> 'her horns' :eek:, etc. Some are good, though.

By the way how do you code regen events in this version? Maybe I could try to put it into eli's.
Regen as such is mostly unchanged. The whole thing can be found in the PlayableCharacter.sleep() function.

Changing TfD itself runs into the issue that Eliont would have to update it, and probably doesn't really want to any more. You can of course run a personal fork if you wish.

Well take what you need. Am not sure what style of english you want. I was thinking more of how players want to read it.

A planned. :devilish:

Well, I'm not really after a specific style here, although the original 'Runglish' is actually somewhat charming. Stuff like "According to the documents, the Dwarven Halls have - in addition to the very heavily fortified main gates and cannon bastions - another, almost unguarded but disguised \'rear passage\' that leads directly to the Halls." or "Barring his way, as if materializing out of the leaves, a Druid appears, armed with a gnarled staff". Perfectly understandable, but rather distinct from anything an English-speaker might produce or recognise as 'good style'.

It's just that your changes were really tiny, so it's hard to glean any style information from them.

The runglish is what makes the game so funny for me.

If its not much changes then I think the russ text can be removed? Or left as comments.


Some of the girls speak about Mists. I've played a few of huntsman's games, and he likes to set his games in a world surrounded by interdimensional fog that allows travels between worlds/dimensions - which is how slave girls end up being there. Maybe should change Mists to Fog?

I don't disagree. :D

Yeah, I've been slowly replacing the Russian texts with my English versions. If this text replacement ever stabilises and someone really wants to, I guess there would have to be a Russian translation, now. :)

Maybe should change Mists to Fog?
I don't mind the Mists being there: plenty of precedent for that, e.g. Ravenloft. AFAIK, only rarely do some girls mention these Mists, mostly when they justify how they came to know 'shadow cloning' and other similar stuff. I guess these can be considered easter eggs of sorts.

Any plans for more skills? Maybe different elements? Or an aoe attack?
Not really. The whole skill system is really held together by duct tape as it is, and if I ever get ambitious enough to do something like that, I'll first try my hand at the other missing spells from DW.

Addressed at the end here.

This causes a looping error, it will go back to the music error above.

After moving into the alv lair;

IOError: Couldn't find file 'music/lair/elven_lair.mp3'.
Replace
Code:
        music('lair/%s.mp3'%lair.id)
on line 3 of 'lair - label.rpy' with
Code:
        renpy.music.play(get_random_files('music/lair/%s'%lair.id))

Ignore the music error and got thrown into the middle of a sacrifice ritual;
Errors caused by ignoring an error are pretty useless for debugging.

Wrong folder location?

IOError: Couldn't find file 'music/music/moria.ogg'.
Inherited from TfD. Fix here.

I'm aware of it. Just rename/copy something so you have that file.

Placeholder text?
More like missing text. Use the attached file and either start a new game or console
Code:
pn = PhraseNew()
p = Phrase()

I like the mod, its a little faster play since fear reduces the seals.

All types of girls can die in childbirth? Any difference to girls bought from the witch?

How so? Once the seals tick down, beating back the demons should be at least somewhat challenging, if you haven't done any reinforcing of the seals. A day 600 or so dragon shouldn't really be able to beat the Demon Prince, since the latter has very specific vulnerabilities and pretty much ignores your resistances.

Maybe there are shortcuts, I don't really know (yet).

All types of girls can die in childbirth? Any difference to girls bought from the witch?
No and yes, the homunculi are one of two types of girl who cannot die from childbirth. The intended solution for the others is to either use the breeding pits or milking farms, which provide guaranteed safe egg-laying. Or just get new girls. In the WIP version, you only get the full benefits from a 'deflowering' pregnancy, so they'll lose some utility after that.
