Ren'Py Ataegina Remaster [Prologue Act I] [Kthulian]

[professorx10]

Kthulian I'd like to add my humble praise and congratulations for your finishing your saga. My respects, sir!

I was originally one of the first to follow your first chapter and was enthused with it's/your writing and story...as well as the visuals. However when I started into Chapter 2 and it seemed to go off in different directions all at once, I confess, I lost interest, thinking it was going to become just another 'loot-box' kind of never ending, no real story, endless patreon baiting, give-em-a-sex-scene-every-day-and-they'll-pay-until-it-gets-dropped type of project. I dropped out and deleted the game.

I'm an unusual player in that I don't like stories that exist just to present the sex and have no purpose, conflict or goal. (you can tell by the cries for a harem ending or a 'lets get ALL the girls' from supporters during development.) I like ADULT Virtual Novels which include sex as part of an ADVENTURE story. I've always hated the 'Hollywood Ending'...I.E.; when they head for the bedroom, we get a fade to black and next morning scene. I know I'm in the minority here on F95. I'm getting a lot of flak for Modding a good Sci-Fi Adventure game into make it greater and even more adventuresome rather than making it a harem ending fap play. So be it. Most of the players here are here just for the sex scenes anyway and don't care that much if a Dev never finishes a game. But I digress.

I mention all this only to give you my outlook and to add to my praise for your persistence in this project. Yes, I played WARP, was chagrined when it was abandoned and did not expect you to finish this at all. To my surprise, you did! So double my congratulations for your success in doing so. I look forward to seeing you return to WARP and complete it as well.

So now, it looks like I have to re-download both chapters, begin your saga all over and enjoy the journey. Knowing there is a sensible end is important to me. So once again, My Congratulations, Sir.

Is there an ending for Cerea, Queen Lufina, or Lust (well, maybe not actually Lust, but at least the one where she's present and have some action)?

 

[Dark Prince 19]

Kthulian Congrats for a successful conclusion of the game, have followed it since the early days of Act 1 and had considered it a quality game from that period itself that executes every story branch so well. So many genres this game has touched with various interesting game mechanics and there has been such a huge improvement in every release and nitbits of new things added or experimented throughout the plot which definitely has resulted in such a stark difference for the better in the game experience comparing it from Act 1 to its current level. What a journey it has been and a delightful one that is, have already wishlisted Ataegina and expect your new game project would be a treat as well which feel would be the case indeed.

Thanks for reading Dev, best wishes for ahead

cerea no idea (possibly not), queenie is but other thing is how to get it, lust most likely not.

 

[CallmeNikki]

Ok, the game was great from the start to finish, but I got a question.
Is there really no endings for Cerea or Katriona?
I just hope I'm stupid and missed them.
Does anyone know?

cerea is only interested about books, sex with mc is just secondary as thanks for allowing her to use tower's library, katriona maybe not (don't think she has appeared after they tested bdsm room).

 

[jjavier]

Great game and it's finished, congratulations to the developer, it's a rare occurrence!!!!!
My only regret is that there is no ending with Bredita, unless I missed it perhaps? I hope
Congratulations once again Kthulien!!!

Please

You must be registered to see the links

and tell me if it works, it's a new "Update only" build, replace old files. Hopefully it should fix it.

 

[Kthulian]

Skipped through whole Act II and I gotta say - great work on render updates. I haven't even recognized half the scenes, great job!

It's refreshing and nice to come back to your work after enduring so much torture checking out other games.
Games like this should have it's own label imo.
For the same reasons as this which I realized yeterday.

Thank you, I'll be accepting suggestions on what to add/change/improve during the next months so your take is femdom right?

Great game, I have been here since the beginning and always waited for the next updates. I really enjoyed playing this for the sake the story, not only the sex scenes.

My only take is that the endings felt very lacking.

All I know is that I enjoyed the overall journey and congrats Kthulian on finishing the game!

Thank you for taking this journey with me, about the endings (Check answer above)

Kthulian Congratz for finishing this epic journey!! One of my favs games!! Waiting to see what you have for us next cause i can feel you can stay idle for too long!!

Thank you, yeah I can't stay idle at all

Another day one-er here, shit it's been a long and wild ride. Since I see there's going to be a bit fine tuning with the endings I won't hit with my gavel Regardless, the last few updates did feel like you wanted to end it as fast as you can, kinda feels like some things were left in the air, like the high archmage stuff, and I expected the foster dad and brother appear at one point as well. Other than that, it's been great, and it did came a long way since the very first few updates.

Thank you for always coming back for more, maybe some of the things you mention will get an upgrade in the future.

So I gather there is not an ending to keep the status Quo, all your LI @ the tower etc... with Mida as the wife,, but not lose the others
With so many it is impossible to choose, but what could help is a WT by path/choice endings
Want to at least end with Mida and the family

There's a Mida family ending... Or Even a Mida family plus another family ending

I think the only thing remain for this game is two merge the two episode and have a gallery Kthulian
Also the succubus that was control was not mentioned at all maybe a quick story on those. Surprised there is no ending dedicated to Bredita & Ayna. All in all good game

Gallery is already marked in the "TO DO" list, there's no "Ayna + Bredita" but I'll accept that suggestion from you.

Kthulian I'd like to add my humble praise and congratulations for your finishing your saga. My respects, sir!

Thank you for your words. About patreon and the project I can honestly tell you it was never about "Milking patrons" until the end of times, you may not believe me but why would I share the game for free in a bunch of places if my main objective was to make money? My main objective was always to have fun, and if other people also had fun and supported what I do, even better. I like money I'm not gonna lie, but I don't focus my life on it.

I hope you enjoy your playthrough, let me know if you have suggestions for improvement.

Oh, yes, I'll be going back to Warp and some other stuff too

Is there an ending for Cerea, Queen Lufina, or Lust (well, maybe not actually Lust, but at least the one where she's present and have some action)?

There are endings with Lufina yes, with some variants as well. Lust ending? Sort of but not exactly.

Ok, the game was great from the start to finish, but I got a question.
Is there really no endings for Cerea or Katriona?
I just hope I'm stupid and missed them.
Does anyone know?

There is not specific Cerea or Katriona ending, but there are ending with both of them.

Great game and it's finished, congratulations to the developer, it's a rare occurrence!!!!!
My only regret is that there is no ending with Bredita, unless I missed it perhaps? I hope
Congratulations once again Kthulien!!!

Thank you... There are endings with Bredita... One if you are a good boy and another if you're not such a good boy.

 

[Gamesstar]

Kthulian, I am glad to see you have completed your wonderful game. I don't know if you remember this, Yours introduce me to f95 and this was the first good adult game I played. I really happy for you. Congratulations for finishing your game
Are you working on another game?

 

[mypossiblepasts]

Thank you, I'll be accepting suggestions on what to add/change/improve during the next months so your take is femdom right?

I meant jokingly, more like "expected" than "wanted".

It's hard to give you feedback on the game, because it's generally not the type of game that I like.
I could even say that your game represents everything, that I rant about in here all the time!
But it has some own original story and cool models (80% of Daz3D games I feel like are using the same models), and isn't bloated too much with meaningless shit like separate phone menu or clickable enviroment, and the playthrough is smooth and clean...
Only thing I can comment on then is general ideas like for an ending for example, and I am sure you have more than enough of those already.
Any actuall feedback I can give would be unimplementable in Ataegina. You'd need to start making new game

 

[desmosome]

Grats on completion.

Now a question for you coomers. How good is the corruption/evil route towards the end? Be honest. It was pretty underwhelming and inconsistent when I played it a long while ago.

 

[Noid42]

Grats on 1.0.
I somehow never got around to play this one, guess its time to give it a shot

 

[Kthulian]

Of course I remember, thank you for your words.
I'm not working on another game, but I will soon

Oh, I get it now. Sarcasm is harder to detect when it's written, although now that I look at it again it's quite obvious.
Still, not everybody has the same tastes and I appreciate your honesty. Who knows, maybe in a future game we'll be more in sync.

Cheers!

Is there a WT for how to achieve the Mida & family ending?

 

[mypossiblepasts]

Who knows, maybe in a future game we'll be more in sync.

Oh you don't want that. Because devs of games I like have to face me and my delulu feedback rants and schizo attention.

But I hope so!

And to teach you a lesson "why you don't encourage mypossiblepasts to talk", here's sample!

My 'biggest' issue with Ataegina - which again, is not even an issue when compared with real issues that most of the other games have - is inflation of "meaningless" choices.
Not to be mistake with meaningless chocies - those I personally love! Meaningless, or how I prefer calling them - flavor choices are really slept on! Even if it doesn't give any points or anything. Literally anything - just trivial 1. Yes. vs 2. Yes, Miss., placed in the right scene just for the sake of the flavor only can add a lot to the game.
Meaningless choice in other hand, those are "Yes/No" choices before sex scenes - so practically foundation of this game. Getting rid of those is possible only on the planning stage of developement. And it ties to the other type in that - if there is a choice, every of it's option must either change nothing, or matter on its own.
Flavor choice - is just for my brain to immerse myself. To give me illusion of choice, and to let me stay in character.
Choice between starting a scene or skipping it - cmon. Who say's no, especially since it is literally that - just fast skip button.

And not saying that asking if to play sex scene is wrong - quite contrary! I hate when the game leads me to sex scene and there is no straightforward, clear choice before it starts wether MC wants that or not. But again - it should be derivative of some different choice or system, a 2nd stage - BUT also provide alternative path.
For example - not sex vs skip, but sex vs lore that unlocks unique path.
No "Take your cock out vs Leave" but "Take your cock out vs Leave (next time you see her, she will praise your self-control and lead to this or that)"


As for Ataegina ideas - in hindsight I would like to see your take on Lust ending.
But not the Evil one, but Good one. Something like "I was blindly in love with Father that I didn't noticed the True Daddy" after you defeat him.

 

[JenusKudo]

It's time to say goodbye... I will be waiting for the next game

 

[Grizzzzly]

Gotta ask, been a very long time since I looked at this. A bit of a impregnation fan and I seem to remember something about it in this game, but I do not see the tag. When searching, there is considerable conversations about different mechanics and pregnancy in the game, but no tag, can someone clarify what is up and is it just a tag issue, or not a thing in the game anymore, or never was.

 

[cdawg20789]

Kthulian Huge congratulations on finishing this! This was one of the first games I checked out when I joined F95 god knows how many years ago now. I was enthralled by it back when Act 1 was nowhere close to being completed and immediately bookmarked it. Now I can't wait to jump back in and check out the final product. It feels like it is so rare that games get completed, and even rarer for good games to get completed. This is a good day. Congratulations again!
