Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.03] [MagicNuts]

[Deleted member 2744443]

A GTX 1080 is only 4 years old & has 8GB of DDR5X VRAM.
It also has 320, or 352 GB/s bandwidth, so can transfer a good amount of data, easily.
I said he may have 10+ year old hardware.
A GTX 650 (9 years old) has 1GB VRAM & 80 GB/s bandwidth & cannot transfer anywhere near as much data.
People who have 1GB, or less, are often seen struggling to run games. Mystwood Manor recommends 2GB as a minimum.
The very fact that WaL uses multiple layers is what makes the images & animations heavier, which presumably would make older cards struggle.
You can see that the captured image has only displayed some of the necessary layers, which makes it seem like it could be an old card that cannot keep up.

I did not experience any graphical bug. So it's obviously not a universal thing. The thread would have far more than just a few people commenting about it, if it was.
At the moment, we have no idea what spec the guy who had the problem is running. So have no idea if his problem is the same cause as anyone else who experiences one that is not necessarily hardware related, such as yourself.

What I'm saying, is that until we have more details, than just a screenshot, we can't rule it out from being an old card creaking at the seams.
If 1,000 people use a product and 10 people have a problem, those problems are often individual & unique & found at the user's end.
So it makes sense to ascertain facts, before passing judgement, as I advised in my first post.

probably some corrupt files. Could be handled by defragging their hard drives, updating their graphics cards, and their Operating system, then look at saving the save files and reloading the game replacing the old game when loaded over it then put the saves back in place.

As far as obsolete Graphic cards. I was using R9 270 cards and come to find it would still outperform many currently available graphic cards because the good stuff prices have skyrocketed. The problem is, even if you put on new silver paste on the main chips, and you have high end piping heat removal, it gets old and tired. A user can shop by looking at benchmarks of the desirables before purchasing, but its a big part of a budget these days with higher costs and lower incoming revenues.

Hi everybody.
Here's a summary of what we did last week:
Chestnut
As promised, Chestnut worked on bag items (see the videos

and

) and then spent the rest of the week working on sprites and sprite expressions. One of the sprites that she finished belongs to a still-unnamed male character, the WIP version of which we shared in a

.
Pistachio
Even though I said it would be unlikely for me to finish the base writing by today in the last report, I secretly hoped I would be able to do it (probably feeling overly confident after completing all of the coding tasks for the structure of the update). But as it turns out, writing the first draft takes longer than I remembered, and I managed to finish roughly a third of the exchanges between characters. Additionally, I fixed several issues that I had noticed earlier with the code in scenes that needed to be debugged before the writing could continue.
Next week's plan
Chestnut will continue to work on sprites, designing a new character, and creating new hands and facial features for the existing ones. Even though Rose has already played an important role in both the Main Story and Myrtle's side-quest, she's missing some basic facial expressions since she's one of the first characters Chestnut created, and so adding more eyes and hands will be necessary.
Unless I notice a bug that needs to be fixed immediately, I will focus entirely on doing more writing tasks. We have already noticed that we need two extra dialogues to improve the pacing of the introduction to the events of the update, and if I have the time, I will also work on those changes.
Upcoming polls
We will run two polls in November:

• The first one will be to decide the name of the sprite Chestnut drew last week. Best Friend tier patrons have been

  , and next week, we will run a poll for Best Friend and Close Friend tier patrons to see what he should be called.
• Later in November, we will run the poll determining the focus of the 0.7 update.

That's all, folks.
Have a great weekend and Happy Halloween!
Cheers

P.S. If you're a new patron who has joined us in the final days of October, don't worry about Patreon charging you again in a few days since if you renew your subscription (which I recommend you do, so that you can actually enjoy the perks), I will refund your Oct pledge.

Am i the only one who has a hunch that there'll be a plot twist where the evil elf king(forgot his name) will turn out to be MC's father either that or they'll be a fake plot twist like that

 

[SuddenReal]

Yes, because the Old King already said that the children of Elves are always Elves so the MC doesn't have any Elven ancestry.

I thought he only said Elves only go for other elves I guess I missed that text

Easy to miss but the Old King did day it "Elves beget Elves" so yeah King Vil has no hand in the MC's existence.

“I am your father” ...... too much starwars , too much Pedigree , simple just simple ！

 

[PussSlayer69]

This is by far one the best games in here in my opinion, the art, the characters, the stories, everything is so wholesome! (and hawt as fuk)

On the other hand, this is a magic world. It's feasible that someone could have used a spell to hide MC's elven features.

You need to find a sexy woman with the exorcism ability and fuck her to gain it, then things will go back to normal.

Meh, sounds like too much effort. Lets just keep the MC's dick in Lana until the next update.

 

[HoneyLibido]

Didn't the old elf say that the master power him and MC share isn't only for Elves? The others are though because those seemed to be passed down as hereditary thing right?

So I don't think we need to force the idea of the MC being an elf whose ears have been with some kind of magic is necessary, it just sounds too convoluted and requires an even bigger explanation than anything else they can go with naturally.

The old king also said the Master power would kill the MC because he isn't an Elf. He also sensed that Lana was a descendant of his. So my guess is, the old king is able to sense whether or not the MC is an elf.

Its all a moot point anyway, because whatever we might try to speculate about the MC, 95% of what is described will probably be chucked out the window when the relevant update happens. I mean, I could theorise that the reason why Rose might not be able to jump the MC's bones is because of her power, or at least what she fears. For all we know, her power is tied to the Master Power, think of her power like a giant padlock and the Master power being one of those ridiculously elaborate medieval keys, so its the only one that can tap that power safely. And yes, all those mental images and innuendos are absolutely meant to refer to Rose getting plucked by the MC.

Here's my crackpot theory: So we know time manipulation is possible, as are transformation spells. What if the MC actually *is* Old Sev, sent forward in time, transformed into a human, and with his memories wiped and replaced with false ones of growing up in a brothel? The ghost that we meet is the MC in the future, who went back to the past after learning he's actually an elf, so he could get a second harem, build the cursed manor, then die in his study to complete the time loop. Sev is just lying his ass off because he knows that telling the MC the truth will break the loop and cause a paradox.

(I don't actually believe this.)

That's still a lot more believable than some of the theories in the BaDIK thread.

I got bored and dropped BaDIK pretty early but let me guess: The theories are incest fetishists madly scrambling to figure out how the game could still potentially have incest with the MC's mom, despite her being dead.

Do they intend to release this update by December? magicnuts

I'm curious now since I haven't been on the threads there for ages, what are the theories? Lol

You really don't want to know. And don't want to venture there either. Same old, but even more unhinged than half a year ago.
But at least we're getting a new chapter somewhere during November.
