VN Ren'Py Abandoned Vinland [v0.1.8a Public] [HuitiemeGame]

[Canto Forte]

This original thinking is painstaking ... so much so ... it is killing barely introduced dames already

Grew up with these sagas, kinda weird to see but interested to see how it goes.

I think someone has been reading too much Vinland saga.

wow...a ripoff of my favorite manga Vinland Saga...i feel like i will dishonor that wonderful story if i play this game...sorry but i will not fuck Thorfinn's wife or anyone with the name of main characters from the manga u.u

I get that you like Vinland Saga buit it's not like this story is originally from there lul.

This story (and Vinland Saga) are based on the Vinland Sagas written around 1100.

Although I suppose being exposed to Vinland Saga the manga first would make you feel that way *shrug*

Not impressed.

Should be fine for people who's knowledge of Norse culture is limited to Nords in Skyrim, the Vikings show, and Hager the Horrible, but it's kinda cringe-worthy if you have any familiarity with it. I get that it's a porn game and accuracy isn't particularly needed, but still kinda sucks when you go in expecting half-assed Vikings and find out that it's a (lousy) caricature of half-assed vikings.

Can't say I agree. The most egregious example of half-assed Viking-ry is the warrior models, who besides their shields look horrendous from a historical perspective, but as character models in a game (particularly an erotic one) look just fine.

The characters are taken from the Icelandic Vinland sagas, there weren't any mistakes in naming from an English perspective (Don't know if the proper Norse names would even show properly without fiddling with the engine) and their heritage/family trees were correct.

A minor complaint in mannerism all in all (imo) are a couple of American-isms in the dialogue.

It doesn't capture a historical feel of Norse culture, but it captures a fun fantasy Norse feel, which is just fine by me. It has potential, and it could always end up being worse than the demo shows, but I'm personally not going to discard it just because it doesn't capture an 'authentic' Norse feel.

so he watched the anime and decided to make a game. If it had come out earlier I'd say he read the manga (like i did), but clearly he didnt

to be honest i think 4.4GB is too much.
turn a bit down with quality..sometime devs(not only here) want too much with large pics and too high quality therefor so big pack.

I fact, I tried to download it at that size and half-way through Mega said that it exceeded the quota for my IP. Downloading the compresed version (thanks to whoever provided that).

looks good, I'll try it out

She's actually 189. I'm using an asset called "measurement metrics" to have the characters' "real" height

Oh damn, not only is she a redhead with green eyes, she's also slightly taller than me? Why are you hitting all the right boxes man..

Maybe I'm just that nice of a guy, maybe we have the same preferences, maybe it's maybelline

 

[Lingam]

I love games like these where you get to learn about history as well.

Without dwelving too deep in spoilery waters, let's say that one (or more) characters are going to sing during chapter 1

Just played through and thought that this was absolutely fantastic, Huitieme! Best v0.1 I've played in a long time (and I understand it was leaked a little early - so even more props to you! I never give a star review until I've seen the goods... (porn, I mean porn ) but here are my thoughts so far:

The artwork is just lovely - I've seen some of your teasers over in

You must be registered to see the links

, but this still blew me away ! Original models, great lighting and scenery, multi-character sets and nice camera-work... plus excellent gui graphics. I found nearly all the characters hot and can't wait to see them in action! (though I'm hoping that Leif isn't going to feature in any nude scenes ) I also like the MC - hopefully you're going to stay full shot and not go all POV and hide him! One suggestion though - use dissolves between scenes, I found the pic changeovers a little jarring.

The writing is top-notch too... It's funny (scholarrior ), well-paced and interesting. I like the visual gags - and I really like the frat boy talk you've given the Norsemen... it's amusing and probably a much better translation than a load of cod-medieval thees and thous. Basing the story on the Sagas is a great idea - and suggests that we might be getting some slightly higher-end porn than usual!

Gameplay obviously isn't that well-developed yet, but you got in a number of options that actually seem to make a difference already! I suppose that I'd like to know more about the effect of my choices in game - I see in the script that there are a lot of variables... suggesting a lot of different paths. That all sounds great - I like as much choice as possible - and I'm sure you've got a firm plan in mind. But I worry a little about the sheer amount you've included, since it seems a lot for a v0.1 to have taken on...

Can't wait to see where you go from here!

PS: I saw some voyeur pics in the image folder that I didn't get in game - guess I just made the wrong choices! I'm hoping v0.2 provides some action

Thank you so much for your kind words

I've been working a little more on the transitions and fluidity in chapter 1, once it's released, the prologue should have one last makeover as well. I've currently finished rendering the first part of chapter 1, with ~100 stills and 2 short (and useless but fun to make) animations, and I can now start working on the real events planned for this chapter. I'm still laying the groundwork for the later chapters, and this is why you found so many variables in the script, but now, I'm embarrassed because I ramble on and on said scripts with the most stupidest shit that comes into my mind while I'm working ^^ Fortunately, most of it is in French, so even the most curious people might just pass it by

Regarding the voyeur pic, this is a good way to tell you that the game should take you to different paths based on your choices. Most of you already understood that choosing to be a warrior would get you Freydis' points, whereas the scholar path would take you to Gudrid, but there is actually more than that. For example, you can decide to be a warrior and still try to woo Gudrid (or scholar and Freydis), and the interaction should differ. Now remember that there are 2 other girls on the expedition, one new girl waiting for you in Vinland, and I actually prepared a few surprises as well :3

Also, I'd like to finish with a peek of the next chapter, because I can:
