discussion Ren'Py [Koikatsu] Endara Chronicles: The Apothecary [v0.8d SE] [Soniram]

[Soniram]

What about Chimera? How to move it from a dead point? I make a potion, drink it before bed, always have the same dream, no progress. I’ve probably already made more than 10 potions, I’m already tired of growing cardus -)

I will take a look, but normally it's because a scene has not fired in Rilea regarding meeting Giles at the docks.

Yes, after taking the potion for his wife, there were no scenes with him after that. And when talking to Horace at the apothecary, she mentioned how grateful he was, which seemed strange.

 

[Soniram]

All threads are stuck before esbat . Can someone help and tell me what to do next?
I am attaching the save file, it is on page 20, slot 6.

The chimera does not progress, it is always the same dream. Because of this, it is impossible to do Horace events.

There are 2 more bugs.
1. When traveling from the city to the apothecary, the day counter does not increase. It's like the character just teleports away.
2. After completing Thayise's tasks, go to her camp - mate - back - game crash.

You need to do more at Velvet Desires. You don't have to go all the way through, but you do need to go through their stories (Artesia, Gisele, Jasmine) to the point you can either refuse their stories or follow them. If you are going to follow them, there is a few scenes to follow with Isolde. They will appear in the Velvet Desires thread and the Early Days thread.

For the esbat, you have to either complete or block off all story paths before it will open.

But what about "avoidable content"?
If the player wants to ignore all the sex scenes with other dick, then what should he do? I don't see any possibility of progress with Jasmine in this case.

The story with Giselle is also not progressing. There was only one date with her when everyone else left the brothel. After that, progress stopped.

You don't have to progress with Jasmine. You don't have to do anything with Jasmine if you don't want. You can progress with Artesia and/or Gisele, and you only have to progress slightly with them before the scene opens with Isolde where you can either choose to help her or shut her out completely.

If you decide to help her, there will be a couple more scenes to have with Isolde then it will open up the scene with Giles at the docks, which will open up the last Chimera, which will open Horace's story, which should allow you to begin the esbat.

If you shut her out completely, it will finish the Velvet Desires thread, which will then open up the Giles at the docks scene and everything else.

How much progress is needed with Gisel for this scene? Look at her experience in my save, I’ve already had quite a few visits to her.
I'll try to go to Artesia, maybe it will help..

 

[Soniram]

Okay, just loaded your save and tried something. You need to go to Rilea and walk around and explore from the main gates in the morning or midday.

I'm not sure exactly why it's not showing up in the Early Days thread, but that is what you need to do.

It really helped. Thank you!

First off, this is a fantastic story with amazing characters, and I am in love with them all. I especially like how after you rescue Katira, she goes straight from being scared and vulnerable to sassy and bossy (but still very lovable). It just shows a level of her being comfortable with you, and behaving much more human-like as time goes on.

Now, I had a question about Cali, unless I am misremembering her background (possibly spoilery, so will tag it just in case):

Spoiler: About Cali

After she returns from her trip, you start talking to her about starting a family, but you have some doubts about whether Lykura and humans can produce offspring, and ask her if there is any history of it happening. But I thought that Cali was half-human herself, and that that was what gave her a different appearance from her sister. Did I imagine that?

Regardless, I will follow the game eagerly await updates. Thanks for making something like this.

It really is.

Spoiler: But to answer your question...

Cali does indeed look different, but she doesn't know why yet.

Or form the devs mouth:
It's actually explained later after MC and Cali are on their way back. It's what causes their argument, generally. MC knows, but at that moment, he's fishing for information from Cali. It is a bit sneaky on the MC's part, and dishonest, but MC's thought process is he's wanting everything to go right and wants it to be a surprise, so he's hedging his bets. He's not coming right out and saying "it can't happen", he's asking what Cali thinks. So, in his mind, he's not being all that dishonest.

Cali knows she is different, but not why exactly.

One the best games, definitely worth trying it

 

[HazelEyeSamurai]

Is this game dead or being updated somewhere else?

Is this game dead or being updated somewhere else?

Neither. Supporters voted for more content over a faster/shorter update for 0.9. Dev posted in Discord only a couple weeks ago, so he's still around and still working on it.

@Soniram You have a very good story going that i can't wait to continue.

 

[NutCaz]

Downloaded the game and pressed the "start" button. Gave me an error that prevented the game from starting properly.


Edit: Not sure if i just downloaded the wrong file or not. I am not known for my intelligence so forgive me if i seem a bit stupid.

 

[User_176898]

I always enjoyed this art style. Always found the sex scenes don't really show the "goods." Is this any different?

You have to download and extract the SE patch (same thing happened to me before I took another look at the downloads).
