VN Ren'Py Tribulations of a Mage [v0.51.0] [Talothral]

[DarkOs31]

Not sure where you'd come to that conclusion. Just because someone isn't rendering for their new game doesn't mean they only have one computer for rendering. They might, but it could just as easily be that they want all focus in rendering to be on the current game.

Talothral has successfully completed several games at this point. If the process being used works well, there's no need to change it. It is, obviously, amazing that you've volunteered to buy Talothral a new rendering PC for Christmas, though. You're such a generous person!

maybe he thinks Tal's pc is like a lenovo laptop,lol...
I saw some specs from dev's here at F95,some use AMD powerhouses like Ryzen Threadripper + dual 4090*s or quad nvidias...
Some use a laptop with integrated graphics,who cares?
Tal delivers his updates on spot,3 weeks cycle is insane compared to other devs who need 6-12 months for an update...

They added pregnancy to virtually every female character the MC can have sex with, yet the game is seemingly ending right after the Necro was killed, what the F. There's a lot that could be done to continue it, the Empire is on the verge of collapse and has the alignment been magically avoided?

Did you ever played his games??
To stupid to read??
Alignment is about hundreds of years AFTER the MC,except he's immortal stated like the ghost/avatar in Yuina's temple
Preg girls you'll see in the Epilogue like always!

Those will be dealt with possible sequal. This game was all about getting his soul back, rest of those things are worries for the future.

Alignment is actually pretty close, only few years away, but the after effects of it will last for a long time.

 

[Talothral]

ToaM was always about getting the soul back, that's all I've ever said about it; everything else is setting the world for the future. Alignment is roughly 20 months away from the ending of update 51; it hasn't been avoided. It is still coming. It's still about 14 months away at the end of the epilogue. The empire either survives the current crisis or it doesn't. This is just the end of the current story, if there is ToaM 2 (too early to think, and so on, might be super mutant or a ghoul then, sucks to write with a keyboard either way), it will continue, probably at the start of the alignment. Yes, there are plans for it; there is a notebook opened for it. But unless people want me to burn out, I need to do something else for a while story-wise (and setting-wise).

I'm just curious,how do you avoid burn out?
How can you keep up with new stories/avn's ?
I'm always on edge when i proofread manhwas,ok most of them are unique,but the major are repeated stories and boring.

 

[Elhemeer]

Would be cool to see Sentinel 3 maybe with MC's son as the new MC cuz not gonna lie,Gerrit was cool as fuck,but overpowered (not complaining,cuz i love OP MC's (i love korean manhwas with op mc for example))
Would be nice to see Tomas taking action in ToaM 2 too...

You realize most of his kids were going to be as-or-more powerful than him, right?

It's different for everyone. For me what works is altering the settings and styles. I write a lot more than people know. I have these "heroic fantasy" stories which ToaM, Sorcerer and Terminus Reach are, but I also have "murder mysteries" in them, some comedic "slice of life" ones in them and all kind of different stories in about a dozen other settings as well. I have a notebook opened for "a post-apocalyptic magitech" setting that I mess around with on the side because why not?

Then just taking a break when I need one, maybe having a nice nap, or tea and biscuits. Although granted, tea is part of working routine anyway >.>

 

[Elhemeer]

You realized you are stating my facts

You said you didn't mind OP, but you implied you had enough of Gerritt 'cause he was too OP, and wanted to see his kid instead.

If you WEREN'T implying that was the reason you preferred to see the kid, then I misinterpreted your intent, not your facts.

tea and biscuits. Although granted, tea is part of working routine anyway >.>

Never understood that combination. Biscuits seem to be awfully bulky for use with tea.

​

(I know what British "biscuits" are, so nobody needs to educate me. It's just some childish — and terrible — humor; I didn't even make myself laugh.)

I adwise some korean manhwas for a while,cuz they have really cool stories.
What you are describing is exactly this,...
If I could ever do renpy i could rival most renpy games,but i can't ...
Like i said,read them and you'll see they'll mix with your storytelling well.it's like they are destined to mix

That would depend on the size of the mug you use for tea...

No no,seeing Gerrit in Sentinel 3 were peaque,i just meant seeing gerrits kid were more awesome

Till you read enough ( I have ) that you see most of the troupes are reused and most of them are the same just different
names and barely different backgrounds unless you really find a gem

Talothral

The closes thing i read that has similar elements to your game is Paranoid Mage it has Fays, Dragonkin, Druids almost everything your game has even Clans or houses and some type of association.

Most of them are boring,you are right.
But there are some unique gems like "I obtained a mythic gem" (it's about Odin ,but accurate storytelling), Solo max level newbie,or Revenge of the Iron-blooded Sword hound

Truthfully, those are fairly common fantasy things. Great Houses are essentially mimicking noble houses (Guardian houses are kings and queens, great houses are dukes and earls, "lesser" houses are barons and so on roughly). Association is certain ways "neutral" ground, similar to churches, although Association is technically open for all supernatural beings, while Churches are mostly for "mortals" to seek refuge and so on. And when it comes to modern day (Earth) fantasy, if they follow mythology and folklore/stories, they end up seemingly the same.

I read those 2 but does I obtained a mythic gem ( item ) ? if so i read that also.
