Unity Wings of Empire [v0.2.0] [Droid Productions]

Looked interesting but I dislike slow burns ;/
The most comprehensive review says it's a slow burner so I'd like to ask if anyone is also not into slow burns but played this game do they regret it or is it worth it to go through the wait? Thanks

depends what you consider slow burn. does it take years to get to a point with a resolution in the game? no, not really. are there "quests" that need you to go through the entire game to get to the end of? yea. 99% of games out there are like that.
i for one hate slow burns, the kind where you'd need to wait for 10+ chapters for simple answers. if they're inferred at some point and then you just end up finishing the game to see if your guess was right, then that, i do like. that would be the reason i waited 'til book 2 of LoM came out before playing (someone did me the "favour" of spoiling the ending of it), so i'd say if you want to see the complete story, wait 'til it's all done.

When you reach the end of the update you get a screen with the social links and return to menu but cant go back to continue playing the LI routes.

Load the end of act save from the main menu

L take. Emily is the best.

What a strange way to write Bella

 

[ChubbyFatBoy]

It's an adult game rather than a fap game, so you won't find any atep-roommates stuck in the washing machine or anything like that. There is sex, but it's trying to tell a story where sex is an element.

Having said that there are 8 sex scenes, shared showers and lewd handholding in it right now, so it's not a particularly slow burner.

Handholding? Already??? 1st release and we've already jumped to the most extreme kinks possible. But I suppose it's a good filter for those not hardened enough for such lewd things. Better they know about it now and not taken by surprise later.

guessing we never level up no matter the xp?

 

[Droid Productions]

The stat checks seem a bit rough. Should a player focus on one stat? Two stats? If one stat is low, will another high stat usually be able to cover it? What's a good amount of a stat? 10? 20? Or does it keep going up forever? It could be nice to have some clues about how the game expects players to approach stats. It kind of seems like all the stats are valuable so spreading them out can be good, but that seems bad with checks because then everything is too low.

So, first thing is you don't need to be able to hit every stat-change (and in fact, no stat check will ever permanently block content). It's a very forgiving game.

It does reward players at various points; day 18 it'll check if you have 15STR and either open the gym in 2 days or 4 days, for example. In general, for the end of act II, 15/15/15 should be fine for most checks. I think the bigger issue is you're upset that you missed a stat-check, when that just means you've focused on other things than STR.

As long as you do basic stat building, and go for a sort-of balanced build you'll be fine for most checks.

There's more info over on the Wiki, but I wouldn't panic about having missed a stat-check. Even if you just skipped every day and had no stat bonuses for the fight with Alpha, for example, you would still progress with no bad side-effects, just dialog changing.

Not going to lie, i wish the scene with the scythian would go the way she mentions instead of what we got.

We'll spend more time with her, don't worry.

Yeah, I find that when you introduce hard fetishes, like handholding, chin-lifting, foot massage and headpats, it's better to do it early so players unable to deal with that level of degeneracy don't get a nasty surprise later.

 

[Tyrranus]

well holy shit that was a lot of content for the version number. Thoroughly enjoyed this, not a fan of the stat/relationship grind but aside from that this was a ton of fun and quite interesting

 

[Avaron1974]

I'm just here, skipping through, expressing my supreme disappointment that Ao isn't a full love interest.

Sad Ava is sad.

Yep, sadly Ao is only a side character. But hopefully there will be a couple more sex scenes with her before the trilogy is over...though she might die at some point...probably will actually. She has the same longevity issues as the werecreatures from Love of Magic but since she's not a harem member her story's more likely to go the way Jalsa's did rather than Bella's. But who knows, maybe Droid changes his mind and alters her story the way he did with Lin in Morningstar who went from a non-speaking side character to a major character with her own questline. Wouldn't hold my breath for it but it *could* happen.

 

[Avaron1974]

I will admit that while I love the story and characters, the ship combat winds me the fuck up.

I haven't seen that many missed attacks since I first played Morrowind.

After the first fight was hoping piloting skill would improve grazer shot accuracy to make that less annoying but no dice

The ability to level up and unlock skills isn't in the game yet but it will be implemented at some point. Until then the piloting skill is mostly for the racing minigame and the story skill-checks.

 

[iamthejuggler]

Yeah was about to say, I am so glad the ship combat can just be skipped. It's infuriating. Loved the game so far though, although I do feel the stat checks could be more lenient. Even if it doesn't affect the story much, it's just a bit depressing to be faced with stat check failed all the time without any real way of knowing what you should be focusing on.

Yeah, there's a LOT more work needed on the tacmap minigame. Both in terms of balancing and in terms of expanding it (adding larger ships, more abilities, etc).

nice

So, first off, I want to say I'm enjoying it. Good stuff. I'm still playing, but I want to post my thoughts. Most of them seem negative, because I'm much better at complaining than praising. So I hope you're up for constructive criticism; that's all I can do.

edit: 10 kTonne nukes? That's tiny, even today. You don't even need fusion for that. In 1970, they made the first MIRV, with the W62. 115kg for 170kTonnes. By comparison, an AIM-9 sidewinder is 85kg, 9.4 of them warhead. At that ratio, the W62 would weigh 1040kg. I'd gladly take that in a 150 tonne fighter for a 17x payload increase. And at 200m, 10kTonnes is 82MJ/m^2. Which sounds like a lot, sure, until you realize it's roughly enough to vaporize half a millimeter of carbon, no scifi shields needed.
(Also, I'm not sure why you would use He3 in a casaba howitzer for the anti-capital-ship missiles. But that's pretty anal of me.)
