discussion VN Ren'Py [Koikatsu] Libertine [v0.12a] [Cynist Games]

[Chola22]

I'm not sure how much will actually be revealed in the end. A lot of it depends on how the story writes itself. I do have some specific thoughts on what will happen. As for the why, that's a little fuzzier.

In the most general sense, I like to have a lot of ambiguity. Things left unsaid. It allows the player to craft their own narrative as to what the background is.

KFL is this universe's version of BlackRock or the Carlyle Group, if that helps

Ah, I see. I only asked because in my head I already started having thoughts similar to what happened at the end of the game Girl Scout Island, like, a global scale, you know? But if the KFL is bad, then it would be more of an evil plan of domination, while the MC wants things through love and acceptance. So in the end, if it were to reach that kind of global scale, the perfect scenario would be through the MC’s vision.

So pretty much Evil, Inc. Though they seem to care more about performative good works/PR than the fairly reclusive real world companies.

When I bring up entities such as those, I only mean to illustrate how far their reach is. The KFL of Libertine isn't a company hell-bent on world domination or destruction as a whole. However, there are aspects both malevolent and benevolent buried within. Sometimes their goals align, and at other times they stand opposite.

The truth is much deeper, and darker, than anyone knows. Even myself.

Hey cynist? I think some bug fixing is needed, at least for the Android version, quite a few black screens during some stuff and this at the end

Black screens are because of missing animations. Make sure you get the 0.9d version (then patch with the 0.9e patch). I'm trying to get a full update to 0.9e posted.

I started new game (0.9c) and when I got to the point where you should be able to change ages, I couldn't do anything but press continue screen there. Hovering mouse pointer over age, gave nothing to click. Is there fix on that? It worked on previous version.

Would be nice to get 0.9e version to the front page. I can't download 0.9d version if Mega is only option as it always stops download bit after 500 MB.

Btw. I have played hundreds of VN's and never seen MC who's so similar to me IRL. Same looks, same lonely life, equally pervert too. Only job was different. That takes immersion to another level. Thanks DEV

You aren't the first person to report the problem, but I can't recreate the problem so no idea how to fix it. I'm hoping my code-helper can answer because I'm stumped. Anyway, here's Wonderwall...

tobe clear you did click on the word age, not on the number, right?

Also you havent messed with any persistent variables have you? there is one that specifically makes age not clickable but its True by default

 

[xanpe]

Solution for macs... go into a shell cd to the Libertine.app/Contents/MacOS folder and chmod +x the Libertine program in that folder.

Suggestion to @cynist. Make sure your creating the rar on a non-windows system as the execute flag does not exist there. Or, if possible, not sure if this is doable, make sure your rar program does capture the flag or allows you to add it manually.

 

[Rel Teeg]

I just want to say, again, thank you cynist. I cannot think of a more responsive dev. It seems to me that the community has responded to this, too, and hopefully some of their ideas have helped you. The game is also one of the very best, of course Finally, anyone who is reading this thread for the first time and stumbles over this comment, if you can, support cynist in any way that you can. No, I wasn't asked to say that lol.

Ah, my bad. I clicked 18 and eighteen only.
Thanks. I can continue playing now. I'm eager to see new content.

I believe I know what the problem is/was. It should be ironed out now in 0.9e.

Misspelled company name:

scripts/chapters/chapter01.rpy:190:    salo "It is in the old Gerr Technologies building. You are familiar?"
scripts/chapters/chapter01.rpy:643:    mct "The place is bound to be a wreck after Gerr pulled out. That was three... maybe five years ago now?"

... and the corresponding parts of the translation files.

 

[npYEcxrEAq3]

What's with the file game/images/Chapter 08/sprites/sprites.rar? I'm pretty sure Ren'Py has no support for reading RAR files...

What is it supposed to be?

EDIT: Well, shit. I never noticed that. No one else has reported it. I'm not really sure what to do now.

I have no idea why that is there.

EDIT: Just checked, and the images are in the image folders (though one is mislabeled). I don't think it should cause problems, but you can safely delete it.

It's not a crash bug, so just make sure it's fixed in the next regular release.
