Ren'Py Unsealed Hero [v0.0.7] [Aetheras]

[Aetheras]

If the MC was going to end up being treated like a girl anyway it would've been nice to have him be made to be more feminine looking. Right now he's just a guy who can't say no to being dressed up like a girl in an ugly date outfit even though in game he says he doesn't like being treated like a girl. Personally prefer him getting some say in how he's treated, right now he's like a doll in the house that's supposed to be powerful yet weak.

I'm actually redoing his design for the next update, because I've gotten significantly better at models since I started. The update will make him more feminine, since he is constantly being called 'cute', so I want it to reflect that better.

As for him being a guy who 'can't say no', in his dialogue before they go shopping, he makes it clear he could say no, but it's not worth breaking potentially everything. It annoys him but he's not going to actually fight them over it.

As for the outfit being ugly, well, that's more of a Koikatsu issue than anything. Male models don't play well with female clothing, and female clothing gets super buggy if you make the character flat-chested, so I'm pretty limited in what I can put on him currently. Unless I spend hours messing about with sliders for his body shape, most clothes will actually be pulled inward by the model and look even worse.

He will have more say in how he's treated as time goes on. The main reason he doesn't now is because he's still figuring out what's even going on and doesn't care quite enough about how random women he's staying with view him/treat him. In his mind, he has more important things to figure out, like why everyone wants to kill each other, how he was sealed, why all women have penises now, etc.

I do appreciate the feedback, to be clear. It's just that part of what you were talking about has been clarified in game in the scene you referenced, part of it is story related and implied in game, or at least I tried to imply it, and the first part is being worked on, which you couldn't have known obviously.

Thanks for taking the time to post the bug and the spelling issues. I'll get a hotfix out for the missing image and the spelling errors soon. The icons showing up even at night it an issue I'm aware of but I wanted to get the update out on time, which was the 31st of March. That will be fixed soon.

In regards to making the characters highlighted on hover, I tried to do that but I couldn't get it done in time for the update. I'm going to try to include that in the update at the end of this month.

The game felt like a combo of a few stories I've gone through on other games but with much diff gameplay(forgot the title, but the mc gets brought back to life and has a curse that's eating away at his chest like this MCs arms). I like most of the models that we can interact with so far. Can't wait to see where you go with the faction parts story wise though. Sorry for the date outfit snub, just thought of all the things they could've picked for him they could've chosen better lol. Sorry if this post sounds like I did a 180 or something, it's not, I just didn't provide anything positive with the last post and felt I should correct that.

I'm glad you like the models, though a lot of them need to be reworked in my opinion. I haven't redone any of them since I started beyond tweaking the faces a little bit and it really shows when I compare them to models I made recently for later in the game.

The story is inspired by a lot of different stories I've read and I'm not surprised it shows. One of the first comments I got here was that it feels similar to Monster Girl Quest with the 'monsters good Goddess bad' schtick. That's not how it's actually going to end up being, but I definitely get why that parallel would be drawn based purely off the intro, and honestly that's the intended reaction. Why wouldn't they tell you the Goddess is evil if they're at war? It doesn't necessarily mean she is evil, but to them she appears that way.

The faction exploration parts of the story will actually make up the bulk of the main story until you get to a major turning point. I think I've said it a few times here before but in case I haven't or you understandably didn't read through over a hundred comments; there will be choices during the faction exploration scenes that effect the story and will greatly influence the overall plot later on in the game.

There's no need to apologize for the date outfit comment, I agree it's not the best due to Koikatsu being very against flat chests, but it's something I'm going to try to fix in this months update with the new model for Nathan. It just wasn't something I could do while also making a ton of changes to how the game plays in general and implementing things like event icons, clickable images, replay of most h-scenes etc.

You also don't come across as doing a 180, at least to me. I've done the same thing with games I've played as well.

weird to have cerel transform from futa to female during the arm wrestling scene

That's both a design choice and personal preference. I'm not personally that into male on futa and I'd have to make a second scene for it since you have to do it to progress her relationship and futa h-scenes are always optional.

Hi, hello.
I have a question: i just updated from 0.3 to a newest version and futa option choice that was in the beginning just gone.
Is the game full futa now or i can still choose\change it but later?

I had to start the game. First of all, I wasn't thrilled with not being able to disable the futa content right from the start. And when I got to the house and saw Cerel, I decided I wasn't interested in the game anymore. I preferred the version where I could make all the LIs girls without any futa content.

Anyway, good luck.

I'll go against the grain and say I'm cool with the game being futa only now, especially if it cuts down on dev time for updates and/or makes for a more cohesive story. My only request would be giving Cerel more inhuman genitals to match Rachael, but I can't imagine there's koikatsu assets for that. While there isn't too much to talk about with the story yet, I will say I really appreciated the characterization that was given to Nathan during the date scenes in the last update.

You seem to have a solid grasp on where the story is going and a good flow for writing/grammar/etc., so I'm looking forward to future updates!

I would be happy to buy this game if it had futa conenent in both directions, I feel like that's missed potential since not enough games tap into both, but that depends on the devs vision at the end of the day.

Anyways, gonna give this a try now,have high expectations from how it'd described so far
