Ren'Py Worlds of Wonders [v0.3.0] [It's Danny]

I think it's day 16
did you figure out how to close the phone after text with brook I tried to press the button many times but it didn't work

Actually, mine was on the 22nd. I had just walked past Officer Little's car. It turns out that I still had some texts with Nancy and Kenji though the indicators didn't seem to show it. Hitting Write and Reply for all of those got me past it.

Maybe try the discord listed on his patreon page.

There is a hotfix you can download to fix the problem with not being able to close the phone on day 16

 

[Korandor]

The Hotfix dosnt work for me !
After Phonechat with Nancy and Kenji Phone dont close.

Edit:
After saving bevor Phonechat, i make both, then close the chats, reopen it, go Nancy, scroll down and see i have an "WRITE"
which gives 2x the same Option.
After making the selection (I chose the second one) I was able to close the phone again.

I haven't played this since the previous version, prior to version 3, but I am glad to see the dev at least noticed the comments about the cyborg version of the MC. I personally did not like the cyborg content, I preferred the magic realm which was not nearly tapped for its potential before the game got muddied with the cyborg content. I would implore the dev to rather split the two games completely than try and integrate them. This game was great with just the magic content and I would not be surprised, that if it was split as suggested, that the magic game/version would by far get the most support (if the content prior to the cyborg was/is any indicator.

 

[N0madS0uL]

ever since he dropped Cyborg I stopped playing and ending support from him. adding a male cyborg randomly and constantly reworking dialog so that it can work will never work for players who don't Like NTR-type content.

Not even NTR thats the only issue IMO, I simply did not like the cyborg style. The magic world/realm was much more interesting. I could let it slide if the cyborg becomes its own game and then you play as the cyborg. But honestly I think the dev is juggling too much to introduce the cyborg aspect at all. Two games sure, let the magic MC be magic (if that makes sense)

 

[N0madS0uL]

mehh......

the dev still tries really hard to justify the existence of that garbage cyborg as a second mc and he has already lost more than 30% of his paying patreons since he fucked up

i give this game a year before it enters "complete remake" territory or gets abandoned

hopefully he splits the game and does two separate games instead of carrying on with the cyborg in this version.

 

[N0madS0uL]

Not different universes but occupying different parts of the same. At the start of the game we see a magic user that is planning on some kind of strike against technology, since he feels it has gone too far, but that's most likely foreshadowing of even later plot points. Also it's pretty clear that MC is part of both magic and tech. Sure the writing could be improved on this part but it is there in the story. Big reason why we haven't seen the two mix so far too much is, as is explained in the game, that magic and supernatural is trying to hide its existence, like in so many urban fantasy settings.

I think besides what you said, the MC being split is already jarring and despite all the developers explanations, the fact is people don't want the cyborg, not in this story (the initial magic, magic school, demons etc.) The developer is much better off just making two games that closely cross intersect, he can even use the "clone" concept as a tool to justify the second independent cyborg game. But let the magic, original version have his own story and world, a world of magic and more fantasy driven. That is my opinion and I believe its the general feeling others have.

On a Russian forum, they found a solution to the phone freezing issue on Day 16. It turns out that even if you ignore Sam, the game still expects you to respond to her. To fix this, you need to open the file:

WorldsOfWonders-0.3.0-pc\game\scripts\base\locations\earth_7\starlight_city\home\mc_room\events\with_yuki.rpy

and add a # symbol before the line:

$ open_chat_section(contact_sam, sam_message_section_3)

After reloading the game, everything should work correctly.

 

[N0madS0uL]

For the developer and or the OP, maybe start a poll and ask who would prefer two separate games i.e. a divergence from when the "integration" happens with our MC cyborg clone. It would be interesting to get a clear idea of what people think and maybe that could motivate or reaffirm your choices with regards to this game.

However I will just put this out there, that this game is good, very good and good enough to have two separate games. I would also say that yes, you could develop them both concurrently but I would focus on the magic version as primary and look at the other later down the line. The magic world and MC deserve the attention, there is a SO much potential and I would say almost everything prior till the cyborg introduction, as far as the magic world and the original MC go, was near flawless and to keep with that recipe and standard! *Hopeful fan

Finally did a restart. The cyborg content is still garbage. No matter if you try to write in they are the same DNA, it's another person. All that content was a waste of time that could have been used on the main content everyone wants. Then waste even more time trying to redo it. The Dev must love shooting himself in the foot. The mc will be able to learn the travel spell to be in different places, no need for switching bodies

There's a catch.

Firstly he'll need to find someone who agree to teach him, what will be hard since teaching the travel aspect is illegal, and MC isn't supposed to have that aspect. Therefore it need to be someone willing to do something illegal, and also someone that MC trust enough to tell him/her at least a bit of his secret.
Secondly, it will goes with this like for everything else. It's not just one spell, there's a lot of them, covering different parts (sending/getting an object, moving to a point at sight, creating mirror portals, etc.). And there's no real doubt that "going to a destination that you've never seen" is among the most difficult spells.
Thirdly there's a difference between traveling to a planet and traveling to a space station. For a planet, if you miss your destination point the risk are relatively low. But when it's a space station, you risk to end in the void...

Not that it excuse the stupid cyborg part, nor justify it. It's just that MC having the Travel aspect do not solve the issue.

Kinda hoping dad's key will unlock some hidden space wherein we might find his grimoire. I mean, they wouldn't GUARD the house if there was nothing there. Unless they were going to lie in wait for us to come by but then they wouldn't have let us go...

 

[anne O'nymous]

I mean, they wouldn't GUARD the house if there was nothing there.

You are assuming that it wasn't the authorities (to use Lily's word) that goes after MC's father...

Now, just imagine that it was them. Then, guarding the house is something mandatory. In case the father come back, in case the son come back, as well as in case someone wander in the house and find a proof they forgotten there.

And it happen that the authorities, or at least a group among it, is the most logical suspect.
MC's father was one of the Seven, and Lily told us that it mean he was the most powerful magic user of his world. Whatever the magic potential of humans in regard of other worlds, it's clearly not someone that you would attack alone. And like he's one of the Seven, it's also not someone that you would attack without "political support".
The fact that he was one of the Seven also imply that whatever he did that pissed people off, he was alone on it. I mean, when it was decided to that "killing your food" was now illegal, it pissed of demons and vampires. But it was a decision from a group, killing one person, even if it was the one who convinced the others, would have changed nothing. This while killing MC's father clearly changed something. They missed, but he disappeared and was supposed dead from any magic user; whatever he wanted to do ended with this disappearance.

So, you've the most powerful magic user of a world, one of the Seven, that is attacked in his house, assumed killed with his wife and son, and 20 years later the authorities still haven't found who killed him. How believable is it? How the 6 others, and I assume his successor, haven't forced the authorities to use all the possible means to investigate, by fear to be the next one? Or, more precisely, how is it possible without complicity inside the authorities, and possibly also among the Seven...

And jerk MC's dad faked his death a second time, sending his son in the viper nest, only providing him a trustworthy guide, Lily.

Um... no.
