First Public Alpha Release

Here it is. This is the first public Alpha Release of Redemption of the Crimson Empress Part 2.

What to expect:
  • Bugs, bugs, and more bugs.
  • Lots of stuff that is not fully tested.
  • Less than 10% of the artwork and lots of placeholders.
  • The full story, if you can find a path through it with encountering a fatal bug.
  • Spells
  • Pregnancy
NOTE: Saves are not fully backwards compatible so you will need to start a new game!!! (It will seem like it works, but it doesn't)
I will try to avoid doing so, but you may well hit bugs which mean you cannot complete the game without starting over after a patch comes out.

 http://www.mediafire.com/download/0ets2mald5han61/ROCER1.5.8-all.zip

Bug Reports, Comments, & Suggestions are always welcome.

Patch is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vbvl7v7py9bxwdy/ROCER1.5.10-P-all.zip

1.5.10 was badly broken sorry. In fixing one bug created another. The follow patch fixes both.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/6fi6o1lujv1xof5/ROCER1.5.11-P-all.zip 

1.5.11 broke dominance :(
1.5.12 fixes that and a few other bugs. :)

  1. Awesome b(^_^)d

    Here's a bug, it happens when talking to a NPC and he/she says 'Did you hear...'

    1. Sorry Pedro, I should have said in the original post to start a new game. This release is not backwards compatible with previous.

    3. I have a similar bug, after quick start part 2 or after i start a new game and i go sleep in the bed.

    4. Thanks for the stack trace. I found the problem straight away. A print statement that was supposed to help me find bugs caused one instead. :(

      Fixed in 1.5.11. See above.

    5. I started a new game and did the tutorial and still get "Did you hear..." all the time.

      Delete
    6. "Did you hear ..." is a placeholder for a pool of gossip I have yet to write. It will give you some background information about the world and what is going on outside the immediate game goals.

      You also get a slight disposition boost for each time you talk to someone.

      I hope that clears things up. :)

  3. Pregnancy is based on 3 factors, time of month, volume, and sperm motility. Honour of the Court and Powers hands confer volume. The Voluminous Discharge potion will boost that. The Cunine Milk potion boosts motility. Motility also helps with time of month differences.

  4. confirmed with Jade ;) although i think the herborist didn't gave me any reward for the quest

    to tell the truth i've been some kind of lost untill i've understood what i should do in part 2 and the new mechanisms, like the way the energy for spells works

    imo it would be great to get some advice from Tergomindus

    besides that all the new things are awesome

    ReplyDelete
  5. The spells are a very nice touch and makes it slightly less of an anal rape. Good game with high degree of learning curve. One helpful thing would be a chart of combos when right clicking to menu screen.

  6. After i got jade pregnant, zarielle came to me and talked for her request. After that i got an error due to missing lines

  7. I can't get past the beginning of part 2, keep getting errors. That happened to someone else? If so, how to fix it? Maybe I didn't install the patch correctly either. Any help would be appreciated.

  8. Question: Do I have to start a new game after installing ROCER1.5.11-P-all? I downloaded the new version, installed ROCER1.5.10-P-all and started from the beginning. Training Phase 2 would not end. I came here, got version ROCER1.5.11-P-all, installed over the previous, loaded my save game, and training phase 2 still won't end even though it looks like it should, judging by the red line in the upper right corner.

  9. Someone is lying to me: According to Zarielle the best fertile period for jade is waxing gibbous, according to Eclara, it's waning crescent: which one is right?
    (I only wanted to report the incongruency, i'm not looking for an answer)

    Oh, and please i know you and yout team are very busy with bugs and graphics, if you manage to squeeze a little time to make a bigger moon image, or at least add a little bit of thext to moon phases, it would be at least by me greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    2. Another error:
      1) Use Summon Card (costs 2 mana)

      3) When presented with the choice which of your cards to replace press Cancel
      4) Enjoy the error screens (3 in a row if you press Ignore each time)

    3. One more issue I forgot: In the Journal I have several entries like this one:
      You and [PatrolPartner.name] capture a smuggler.

      Doesn't matter who the partner is - all are like that.

  11. I get an error when i try to dominate Jester in the Big Hall or what ever it's name is. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more art work.

  12. Something odd I just noticed: When trying to seduce Tanzy, after she says "Let me examine you", there's a text written with white letters on the background that says "bg bailey_fuck_dzazd_os" That seems like something that would be used in one of the Dzazd encounters. I'm not sure if it's an actual error, or just wrong text.

    1. Those image names are placeholders although I got that one wrong. The artists always do a better jobs with the scenes than what I first imagine, so that bit will be substantially changed when the artwork for the scene is ready.

  14. After casting Minor Charm on Tanzy when trying to seduce her (in front of her room) I keep getting error messages every time her turn comes. I can't post it here, so I'll post in Hongfire's game for the thread (I just need to find where it is).

  15. Something weird. I don't know if it's intended: in my second try to dominate Jade I was able to play unlimited hands as long as I score a minimum of 2 (not too dificult, I must say. Lots of cards in my hand and in table), so in one encounter you can go from -17 to 34 disposition, and with an overwhelming score: 270 point and 350 cc of spooge...

    I'll keep playing ;)

  16. I don't know if it is because I am using a save from the previous version, but if I go to Court at 3pm and choose "Talk to Zarielle" Verdite's name comes up on the following screen, as if I was talking to her.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I've been testing Minor Charm in the new version (using my save from the previous one), and so far I have encountered one issue when trying to seduce Cerise. Here are the details:
      I went to the gardens at 3 pm, tried to seduce her, used Minor Charm at the very start of the "battle" and won. No errors
      Next in her room I have to score points. Again I used Minor Charm at the very start and after a few rounds an error came up followed by a second error. No errors for the rest of that encounter
      Next part of the encounter I used Minor Charm at the very begining and saw no errors.
      Final part of the encounter I used Minor Charm at the veruy beginning and after a few rounds I encountered the same two errors as during the second part (at least I think they were the same, as the traceback files were the same size).

      The new tracebacks can be found at
      http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/422613-Redemption-of-the-Crimson-Empress-%28Futa-Futa-Transformation-Tentacles-Cumflation%29?p=3504714#post3504714 (I did not bother editing the bug report there, as I am already writing the report here).

      Delete
    2. Two more issues:
      1) If I have more items in inventory than can be shown in the inventory screen I have no way to see the rest - only the first 20 are shown
      2) I just got a Potion of Vitality from Jeclara. When I open the inventory screen I see a message in red letters saying "Image 'Images/InventoryItems/Potions4-2'" Seems like a missing image. At least I can see the potion's name, so I should be able to use it, and it doesn't seem to break anything else.

      By the way, where can I see my fatigue?

      Delete
    3. Another error:
      At midnight I went to the gardens, chose Zarielle, and tried to dominate her. During the following game an error occurred (tracebacks 5 and 6 attached to my hongfire post). Oddly enough this error happened only once (so far) despite me doing the exact same thing around 10 times (every single time I cast Minor Charm the very first round, before doing anything else).

      Delete
    4. More errors - tracebacks attached to the same hogfire post as the previous ones.

      Two other things:
      1) There seems to be no limit to how many times you can dominate Dzazd in the gardens at night - as long as you meet the requirements you can keep going; I did not keep track, but my record so far is somewhere between 5 and 10 times in a row (most of them without any sort of charm). There should probably be some limit
      2) Texts should only advance after the player presses a key or a mouse button. Currently some texts are like that while others auto-advance, making them impossible to read. Example: After I dominated Dzazd several times in a row her Disposition increased from 77 to 81 and there was some text about her eyes that indicates she's now in love or something, but I couldn't read it because it disappeared too quickly. Since there's no backlog (or at least I didn't find one) and this sort of thing is not noted int he journal if you fail to read the text you can't go back (since the game saves right after that).

      Delete
    5. Another missing image: After one of the knights taught me an alternative way to get the flower I decided to try it. I had to score 6 to get the flower and 12 to escape the grass. I scored 7 and then, on the next screen, is the error: Image 'bailey_on_grass_with_flower' not found. It's a bit difficult to read because it;s on top, along with the day, time and month, but I think that's what it says. Fortunately missing images don;t break the game, it seems.

      Delete
  17. I'm not sure if it qualifies as a bug, but the inventory seems to be placing items outside of the screen area, making it so you cannot make use of them.

    1. Absolutely that is a bug. It is not supposed to do that. :(

      I need to look into it and the problem of having too many items reported above.

  19. More tracebacks added to http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/422613-Redemption-of-the-Crimson-Empress-%28Futa-Futa-Transformation-Tentacles-Cumflation%29?p=3504714#post3504714 Let me know which ones you have seen so that I can remove them. The last few errors happened against Iolite and resulted in a weird graphics glitch where a card revealed by my opponent stays where it was revealed, but at the same time gets correctly added to the pool of cards. The errors happened in games where I used Major Charm, but the error does not happen every time I use that spell, so I can't tell if the two are related.

    Some comments after playing quite a bit:
    1) Lack of clear direction - I'm just talking to people trying to seduce (or occasionally dominate) them and hoping something will happen
    2) Outside "combat" there's no way to see my current spell points, my max spell points, or the list of my spells. Also there's no indication when the max spell points increase (or an explanation how they increase)
    3) As already mentioned, there's no way to see all of your items if you have more items than the inventory screen's size
    4) At times it's hard to tell what's happening (though I guess that'll get fixed when the rest of the artwork gets added)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) Yes, there needs to be some more hints so you know what you are aiming for although if you aim for getting everyone to have a disposition of over 80 towards you, the game should progress ok.
      2) Yes, I should do something about that. Spell points go up with your total spooge count, but max out at 25.
      3) Needs fixing badly. I will get to it on the weekend if I can although new images are available and I will give that higher priority. I will see how I go for time.
      4) Yes, sorry about that. People did seem to want to see the game now rather than when all the artwork was ready. :)

  20. This may be a bug. I'm playing 1.5.12. I started over from the beginning. After obtaining the necklace and equipping it, I got the expected scene. However there were several cards already drawn, as though resuming from an earlier game. Here's a screencap. http://imgur.com/rehiUPj

    1. That always happens the first time you have sex with her. I always thought it was a bonus due to Bailey losing her new virginity.

      Delete
    2. I think I know why it might have happened. For a long time, when scoring during a game, I'd hit "finish" even when I had the option to continue. And I'm almost certain I finished the previous game prematurely rather than playing it to the end.

      Delete
    3. Oops, should've refreshed before replying.

      Delete
  21. There might be a problem with Zarielle - no matter how many times I ask when Tanzy or Kitaxxa is most fertile I get no answer. No such problem with all the other characters.

    Also, if you use a Potion of Voluminous Discharge and a dose of Milk of the Cunine before having sex with Zarielle in the gardens, you can go a practically unlimited number of times. There should be a limit on how many times you can have sex with her each encounter.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Tanzy and Kitaxxa both were set to tell you about Amaranth! Oops.

      Yes, I should probably tone that down or maybe make it a sliding up scale. It gets a little harder each time.

      Delete
    2. PS. I have worked through all your tracebacks now. I hope I have them fixed in the next patch. They all boiled down to two problems. One was obvious, the other not so. The obvious one was easy. For the not obvious, I have tightened up the code so it should no longer be possible, but as I don't see how it could happen in the first place ...

      Delete
  22. Two more potential issues:
    1) After having sex with Jade the last stone on Bailey's necklace turned black. The problem is, Jade is female, so it is impossible for her to impregnate Bailey. So there's no reason for any stones to get used up. Unless that is intended and so we need to remove the necklace before sex with females to keep it useable for as long as possible, in which case it should be made clear that is so
    2) Please check the message displayed after you capture a smuggler. I don't think the text is correct. At least I don't remember ever being told that I got a necklace of contraception, yet that is the only way I could have gotten one

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. A Kitaxxa issue:
      I went to the gardens at 9 am and seduced her, then kept going (as long as you score at least 1 point she wants to keep going). Eventually (after scoring over 100 points) I got to the part where she got carried away and I had to go to the doctor. But after Tanzy's "Not Kitaxxa again!" I still got the question if I want to keep going. Choosing "Yes" did nothing, but I don't think that question should be there at all.

      Also, I just noticed that on the Skills and Abilities screen the player character is marked as a Female. Isn't she supposed to be a futa? Or is there a way to change from futa to female and I did it without noticing?

      Delete
    2. A question about Kitaxxa's pictures: When can we see kitaxxa_garden_3.jpg? When having sex with her in the gardens the game kept switching between kitaxxa_garden_2.jpg and (occasionally, when I got bonus points) kitaxxa_garden_3a.jpg When she got carried away and sent Bailey to the doctor I saw kitaxxa_garden_3b.jpg But kitaxxa_garden_3.jpg never appeared on the screen.

  23. Thanks for releasing this, I thought it was really good at showing off the gameplay. I literally spent an entire afternoon just playing it. I thought there was one thing missing though, which is context for the numbers on the stat sheets. It's not clear what some of them mean, or what the significance is of them being high/low. That could easily be fixed by a more extensive readme file.

  24. I'm not sure if this is the kind of feedback you want, but I agree with moonblack that the lack of direction is an issue.

    First of all, your overall objective isn't clear. From the responses to comments I gather that you're supposed to befriend the entire court, more or less, but that's pretty much the opposite of the "trust no one!" message that Kallestian gives you right before she dies.

    Secondly, there's no real indication of where to get started. Since nearly everybody has an issue with you at the beginning, all you can really do is blunder around propositioning people at random and getting yelled at a lot until you stumble across somebody who's willing to even say hello. I imagine part of this is just due to the early stage of the project - everybody sounds alike, so there's no real sense of who anybody is. Still, some kind of introduction as to who your possible allies or enemies are would go a long way.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Absolutely, this is the kind of feedback I want. I am not just interested in bugs, I want to know how people feel about game play, game balance, what is engaging and what is boring. I have made a lot of improvements based on feedback. Spells grew out of an idea that someone suggested on how to make game play more interesting. I can't respond to those things as quickly as bugs, but I do take notice and implement a lot of suggestions/observations.

      Umm ok, maybe a I broke something, but in the first day of play you should get a Text Message from Selennia saying take Jade on Patrol. If you get through that ok, you should be able to go on patrol by yourself. If you do that, then the herbalist will ask you to get Jade pregnant and then that will lead onto other things.

      Kal's Trust no one is a one way thing. You should not trust them, but you should be trying to get them to trust you. I might have to give Tergomindus some more lines along that vein.

      Not wanting to give too much away, but they are nearly all potential friends. You just have to work harder at some, but as the plot progresses, you will get opportunities or they will think better of you and start talking to you.

      :)

      Delete
    2. OK, I got the Jade quest, but never any message from Selennia pointing towards her. Then, after I managed to pull off the impregnation thing (at least I think so, I hit the bullseye a couple of times) there was no confirmation whatsoever - Jade just vanished completely. Also, trying to view anybody's status causes an exception.

      It looks like other people are getting a slightly more cohesive gaming experience than I have, so maybe I need to wipe out all the registry keys and start with completely fresh data. Or something.

      Delete
    3. There are no registry keys or anything to worry about. If you start a new game, it is a new game completely.

      On windows 7, the save game data lives in: (your_account)\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\persistent

  25. The biggest problem with the game right now is the repetitive nature of the card game. I think that's something you can fix, and have made baby steps toward with the spells. However, I'd suggest going quite a bit further.

    Right now you have all these stats, and it looks like they mostly just effect the size of the hands and the center pool. That seems insufficient to me, because those elements are balanced. It's not clear that having a bigger hand or a bigger center is really better if the goal is simply to win; it is for just point accumulation, but if the AI also has a lot of cards, it can just as easily end up destroying you with a better draw.

    What I'd suggest instead is that your stats affect the odds of drawing certain cards. So maybe the cards have affinities or some such (presumably informed by the characters they represent), and as you boost your dominance or whatever, you become more likely to draw the dominance cards. Basically, my thinking is that if you give the player an increasing feeling of control, they'll feel like they're accomplishing something. Of course, this would have to be offset by the stats of the opponent, so that you could continue to have difficult encounters as the game goes on. It would also give a bit more meaning to the idea that an encounter is too difficult right now, but might be manageable later on.

    Adding more spells and more chances to use them might also do the trick, but I'd be concerned that eventually the AI would just have no chance once you had a good set of them (unless the AI could also use them... but that sounds a lot harder to manage).

    Anyway, even if you don't like that particular suggestion, I'd definitely recommend making improvements to that aspect of the game a high priority. Given the amount of time that the player spends in the card game (90%?), it needs to be the best part, something that always feels fresh and fun. As it stands, it feels pretty interesting for awhile, but after a certain amount of time starts to feel tedious, particularly because sometimes no matter what you do you're just going to lose.

    1. "It's not clear that having a bigger hand or a bigger center is really better"
      i think if you look it from the inverse angle it's clear that is better, i mean, winning is more difficult while having less cards at hand and on the pool

    2. I have just had a go at building a biased shuffler based on your suggestion and it looks like it could work. I will put it in the next major release.

  26. A few more things:
    Even after seducing Sapphire (and even getting to repeat the part where she fucks Bailey’s ass) there’s still no info about her in the Stats window: No disposition, no Sensitivity, no Statistics. When does her info appear?

    A similar question about Verdite: When do her Statistics get filled? Currently her Statistics show Max Score, AF Count and HScore as 0. Only her Sex Count is not 0 – it just went from 16 to 28 (a combination of good luck and wise use of spells allowed me to make significant progress with her, and if not for me wanting to check if 2 points are enough to make her ask for more I could have done even better; still, getting from 38 to 61 Disposition in a single encounter is pretty good).

    Actually, now that I look at Topaz, she too has 0 for her Max Score and H score, but her Sex Count and AF Count 1 and 12 respectively. When and how do stats get recorded?

    The fact that Zarielle senses no fertility in Clavielle should be recorded in the Journal, since it seems rather important.
    What the tentacle beast says after you get Jade pregnant should also be in the Journal, but is not.

    Is there any way to lose the Coins? I no longer see them in inventory (probably due to the inventory getting rearranged when I get new items, as I can now see my potion of Strength), and I no longer have the option to throw a coin in the grass when finding a flower.

    When using the Summon Card spell, if you have three of a kind in the pool (two with pictures and one plain) and want to summon the last plain one so that you can get all four, I see no way to tell which one of the two plain cards is the one in the pool, so you might accidentally summon the wrong card.

    New traceback at Hongfire (http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/422613-Redemption-of-the-Crimson-Empress-%28Futa-Futa-Transformation-Tentacles-Cumflation%29?p=3504714#post3504714 ). Here’s what happened: I went to the gardens, seduced Iolite, had sex with her several times, and after that Zarielle came and asked me to make her pregnant because she heard what happened to Jade. After the conversation was over the error came up and then I got the Game Saved message.
    One thing I’d like to point out is that Zarielle’s request doesn’t make much sense since she’s ALREADY pregnant – she’s the first one to get impregnated (rather accidentally, to be honest). I guess drinking some of her breast milk is the reason for some temporary bonuses I had – a fact that became clear only after her request. But the important thing is she’s requesting something that already happened. I hope that doesn’t result in in any sequence-breaking errors.
    Speaking of Zarielle’s breast milk, when in the gardens if I seduce her she asks if I want some of her breast milk. If I say “yes” she says she loves it when Bailey sucks on her breasts. Then, on the next screen, when Zarielle says “This is Iolite’s favorite spot”, the picture that appears is that of Bailey sucking on Zarielle’s tits in Zarielle’s room. I’m not sure if this is intended (because the picture for the garden is not ready yet) or an error. I’m menting it in case of the latter.

    P.S.: Riding Crop needs a new image. Currently it has the image of a blue potion.

  27. Tanzy got pregnant and departed so when Kitaxxa wants a favor I can't complete the quest. I sped through ~30 days to see if Tanzy would return but no luck

    1. Getting Tanzy pregnant is supposed to be an instant fail (ie a bad end) so thats a bug (or I may give some other kind of limited out).

      Pregnancies are 320 days.

      With the next patch I put out, I can add a Tanzy unpregnant feature so you do not have to sleep another 2,400 times. :(

  28. I little help, please. What should I do next:
    Zarielle Disposition 100, Pregnant (the first one to get pregnant)
    Dzazd Disposition 90, not pregnant
    Kitaxxa Disposition 39, Pregnant
    Melliscoria Disposition 80, Pregnant
    Jester Disposition 34, Pregnant
    Taeleine Dispisition 98, not pregnant
    Tanzy Disposition 30, Pregnant
    Amaranth refuses advances
    Cerise Disposition 36, not pregnant
    Flame won’t even talk to Bailey
    Sapphire Disposition unknown (not listed in statistics), not pregnant
    Topaz Disposition 41, not pregnant
    Iolite Disposition 52, Pregnant
    Citrine refuses advances
    Emerald refuses advances
    Jade Disposition 62, Pregnant (second person to get impregnanted)
    Verdite Disposition 72, not pregnant

    So, what am I supposed to do next? Judging by the previous comment I screwed things up by impregnating Tanzy. Is there anything I can do before I need to talk to her?

    1. Tanzy and Mel are key and getting them pregnant stuffs things up a bit. When you got Mel to 40 she should have given you a way to get Flame which would have moved another part of the story along. Have you tried to seduce Flame in the Gardens or in her Rooms (not Court)?

    2. It's been a while since I got Melliscoria to 40, so I don't remember very clearly, but I think she mentioned it was time to learn some more magic (or something like that). At that time I learned a new spell, so I thought that's what she meant.

      As far as Flame is concerned, I don't think I have ever seen her in the Gardens. When I talk to her all get is:
      "Do I look like I would go on patrol with you! Get someone else!" - if I try to go on patrol with her
      "Piss off human!" - in both court and in her room

      I don't even get any options when talking to her, just one line of text.

      P.S.: It seems Verdite cannot be impregnated - the two times I had a chance to get her pregnant all shots hit the outer-most area of the target. That is intended, correct?

      Delete
    3. No, Verdite should be impregnatable.

      I sent you a PM on hongfire. Can you please email me Oncardam at gmail.com if you did not get it.

      I will have to check out Flame.

      You are actually well ahead of me in playing through everything.

      Delete
    4. I can confirm that verdite can't become pregnant and I tried way more than 2 times. All shots hit the outer ring. Also flame never game me a different response despite also having mel > 40. I also just reset the game so don't worry about putting in a Tanzy reset just on my account. (I'm also previous annonymous poster)

  29. When first encountering the flower the computer elected to play for double points, I scored 14 the first round, 1 the 2nd and 0 the 3rd and it said I failed the challenge.

    1. Double points is busted sorry. Fixing it so far has eluded me and I have had a few attempts!

      Its on the todo list, just not at the top. :(
