Ren'Py Abandoned Vis [v2.0] [Mad King Games]

[K18]

Hey, all the gamers out there,

So I need to make a statement about the release and the sandbox.

First of all, the idea of the sandbox came from my desire for people to return to the game, even if they are between releases.
I want this for people to remain merged into the world even if they finish the released update.
The sandbox part that we implemented for this release, was a hard one. From thinking of the concept, creating the documentation for implementation, to creating the UI, graphics and testing it overall to match the logic from the features.
The second point is that this is not the final sandbox and it's far from being even 15% completed. The UI will be improved, there will be more areas to see and more characters to interact too. Interactions can be taken at the kingdom level and at the empire level. According to your actions, you will unlock certain characters to interact with. We will add background music, gambling (I was thinking even of adding an arena where players can train and bet on a gladiator).
You will be able to expand the city to cover the whole land.
And the last point is for the question "Why did I release it in the first place if it's not finished." Well, because forums like this and sites like Patron are made to support games that are still in dev mode. From the pre-alpha to the release build. This is how I see it at least. I released this game, for one, because the story has reached this point where the induction to the kingdom management is done, and second, because I will centralize all the constructive feedback, and I will discuss with the dev how can we implement and when. So my intention is to call upon an active community to help in making this game great by seeing what they would love to play in a sandbox.

Let's make Colonia great again!

Yours,
MK - Founder of - I am not biting the dust.

With all due respect, i personally believe people would've still returned to the game without the sandbox & management feature. Doing so by focusing on the story and character developing, fleshing them out as much as possible and expanding the worlds' lore. For example, doing so by giving a profile/codex both of the characters, world of Colonia, history, etc., for players to come back to.
The addition of the sandbox/management elements to a mostly story-driven visual novel takes away time in progressing the story further in great details, where most of the time will be spend on fixing many WIP incompleteness and errors/bugs that comes with sandbox. A linear story-driven visual novel, you just experience the world and its' characters possibly alternate certain choices at given times. A sandbox & management system midway is very painstaking as is it's tedious, repetitive, and confusing. This from experience witnessing it from other games here on this forum suddenly sandbox features to their established visual novel and none turned out well. I think it's save to say a good portion of players here just a "visual novel", a good story with good characters interaction and development, seeing the protagonist mature, rise to power, and have happy harem. That's what caught my attention to your game and reason for me coming backing and wanting more. Not a sandbox management game.

This is just my opinion on the topic. This your game, not my mine.

here is my unofficial android port of Vis v1.4.

Spoiler: touch screen usage

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

from now on my android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11 ), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.

have fun and please report problems (you can reach me

Perhaps you like to change the usernames so that they would be ping (add an @ before the name).

how to get more the 1000 citizens?

 

[dremland]

I don't know yet if cheating will do any good but here is what I have found so far.

It maybe best not to use cheats because it could break your saves.

Some of the cheats work and some get reset to what the game gives you so use as you see fit.
xx= number you want.

Mother
mot_love = xx
mot_lust = xx
mot_corruption = xx

Twin sister.
mor_love = xx
mor_lust = xx
mor_corruption = xx

Younger Sister.
lil_love = xx
lil_lust = xx
lil_corruption = xx

MC

leader_stat = xx
seducer_stat = xx
warrior_stat = xx
lover_stat = xx

There is also these 2 but there set to zero at this time and I have not found a use for them yet, I am still in the beginning of the VN.

coins = xx
royalgem = xx


I will add to these if it is needed.

There is a city expansion option. At the moment it is up to level 2 but in time you will be able to expand even more.

I use this program but make sure you read all about it. https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-ba...compiler-console-developer-menu-enabler.3083/

The current implemetation of sandbox add very little to the game. I think, the vision you have could add to the game, but at the current state it is as a wast of time.
I don't see what the edicts will bring me, the citizen count goes up only slow as does the money and the events that could happen are not there except for the borthel. I think if the city would be more alive - means more events - then it could be more fun.
Yet, I know that development time would be needed to spend on this and tend favour more story over more "city sandbox".

What is "royal gem" ??

 

[esafa54]

I'm having these graphical glitches, someone can help me? I'm using the compressed version.

I'm confused, does the update end when it gets to the sandbox part?

 

[OLD7TaZz]

why ruin the game by adding Sandbox to it i was enjoying it till the sandbox came into it you need to add Sandbox to the Tags hope your game goes well for you but i will not be playing it as Sandbox just ruins it for me but like i said good look with your game.

 

[Lord Levi]

I'm conflicted cuz on one hand I like strategy games like this but on the other hand I played this for the porn and if the strategy game takes to much of my time then what's the point of playing this consistently when I can play a game with a decent amount of porn and good story which this game had and it can still work if the story and porn have more content then the strategy part. Either way ima play the game cuz I still have faith that it will become greater then before I just hope people don't tank the ratings cuz I feel like the game just started moving and I hope the developer continues the game.

Sandbox with quest log is a better combination than ....... VN's where mc's hands and legs are restrained

if you'd read my release post or the help tab of the game menu you would know by now that swiping down hides the textbox.
since i don't use the normal Ren'Py behavior to hide the textbox, this doesn't hide the 3 buttons for the stats screens.
i know that and it will be changed with the next release (or when i get bored).

 

[Lord Levi]

Another thing Ima add is that we for sure need day to week skips cuz this is way to slow like I'm pretty sure there might be time events like a sudden love interest or and enemy invasion so I can see how it's a little more work but it'll for sure make this game more playable

You keep typing this in threads about sandbox, but these words don't make sense and so I don't think are really saying what you mean.

I don't think you understand that there is a difference between sandbox and a regular choice based VN as opposed to a kinetic novel.

I for one loved the prologue and story so much I couldn't wait to support on Patreon, but despite the initial implementation of the sandbox features, is it absolutely necessary/optional to play those mind-numbing resource management features in order to advance the story or can we just pretend those features don't exist and attempt to play the gothic, choice driven VN I grew to love?

 

[Macinnes]

Man, this game was awesome as a VN and then the Dev slams the brakes on and drops a sandbox. I go from digging into every line of tex totally immersed in the action to boom, staring at a fucking screen and watching numbers SLOOOOOWLY tick by. I even fell asleep for an hour while this was going on. Way to muck up a great VN. If I wanted to play a city management SIM I'd go play CIV or something like it. I'm gonna hold out hope that it will improve even with the sandbox, but I'm super sceptical and disappointed at the moment.

One more thing, the name of the follower of Lilith was changed from Darya to Ava during the 3 way scene with the M/C and Morrigan. It was confusing since the original Ava was the M/C's trainer until Morrigan took action.
