Played the first chapters. The story was kinda lame, the childhood part was interesting in the beginning, but then it jumped to high school, which was passable i guess? The whole gang introduction at the party felt like Harry Potter houses. Also, i didn't like that your first car is a super duper premium deluxe sports car. Like, what's the point? Give me a 90s sedan, the worst shitbox imaginable, and let me do quests to restore and tune it. Let me build an attachment to the damn thing! Nope, here's your first car, a Testarossa. Who gives a shit...

>>4014647
Unironically, yeah. At this stage he'd probably be better off going back to his original implementation.
His problem is twofold in that to begin with he clearly doesn't know how he wants his game to actually play (and never really has, which is why we've had so many rebuilds and the game is now balanced primarily around the cheat difficulty mode), and then when he does decide to focus on a particular concept he doesn't understand the mechanics well enough to implement them properly.

I finished a playthrough with the witch, it was fun. The game is mostly railroaded and plays more into the "adventure game with a billion ways to die" aspect of CYOA books and the combat is rather simple but I've already got my money's worth.
It did imply at one point that I'll be able to change some things that happen on subsequent playthroughs but I don't know how true that is yet.

Finished the demo for A Nation Divided. The concept is cool, but the prose? Not so much. More than once, i felt like I was reading a history book from 1935 that i found at my grandmother's house. It felt bland and insipid. Characterization? Almost null. Great battle descriptions, tho.

They probably assumed that anyone who wanted to buy it had already done so, so they might as well do a giveaway which will work as an advertisement for Jerian. Also people who weren't interested in Brante beforehand can try it out now and if they like it, there is a chance they could buy Jerian. I think it's a good strategy.

Believe so, I do remember something about the game possibly releasing on September, which clearly hasn't happened. But as you say I am happy to support them as I enjoy their works and I am enjoying Jerian right now.

I think he suffers more than Brante, a suffering of isolation and duty.

How hard is it to hack Brante using Cheat Engine? Thought about replaying it, since Jerian coming really soon, but stamina/stat-grind through right dialogue choices was really ruining the experience for me.

My eye sight definitely not become any better in spun of these 5 years, could hope at least in Jerian they actually think about adding some font size options, but no.

Alright. Found out how to cheat in the new Brante game. Looking for values with cheat engine is inefficient.
1st. Go to: C:\Users\You\AppData\LocalLow\Schisma\The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian\Saves
2nd. Open the file autosave.dat with a text editor like notepad++
3rd. You are going to see a longass string of data in base64.
4th. Copy the string and look for a base64 decoder online.
5th. Once decoded, you can edit what you want. The main attributes of Jerian are science (logic), administration (management), and diplomacy.
6th. Copy the decoded and edited data and encode it again in base64.
7th. Copy and paste the encoded string into autosave.dat.
8th. Save the file, open the game, load your last save and enjoy.

Life and suffering of brante was neat but i don't like how it pushed the stats into 3 archetypes, my stats where pretty lopsided for perception and ingenuity and i went noble thinking i might have done better if i went with the 'strength' stats, or lotless i guess but that route doesn't have a stat req like the others so its inheriently lesser. Tried to rule as a fair judge, shit got out of hand but the family unit survived sans stephen cause i should have just not supported gloria and then had mother fix everything once she power of family throughs illness. Oh well, my blue elf GF left this plane of reality, and the nation devolved into mindless bloodshed, but nathan preaches about forgivness and taught the gods about forgivness so when its all said and done my brante got to have the choice to go to heaven.

I remember in Brante you have that really assholish grandfather, that represent nobility in early chapters, to the point of even beating you to death with his cane in one of the outcomes, but Jerian going over the top with comically evil nobles in this game. Literally in 30 first minutes of the game, super evil nobles(the game telling you that they evil basically openly by describing their appearance) kill a puppy and stab a dad''s hand of your peasant potential gf with a fork.

The nobles where always assholes because the entire world of brant is basically 2 gods segrogating a population, saying "this is our divine will/your lot in life, and if you don't adhere to it eternal damnation, peace" and being surprised when the oppressed underclass doesn't stay forever content with groveling at the boots of the upper class. And thats not even getting into the blue elves? Which has an additional layer of classism/divison. The gods need nathan to say "hey god the world is imperfect so please give us a break when you judge our souls for eternal damnation".

You kind of have to balance out the corruption a little bit or play the politics game as a noble Brante, the game is very strict about you actually RP'ing your chosen route otherwise it tries to punish you with some kikery

You guys forget how Octavia, one of the more REASONABLE and self-loathing Arknians, has you beat half to death for daring to hand her back a dropped hankerchief, and in her adulthood did insane occult blood sacrifices to become a literal ancient alien.

Yeah, nobles are pretty evil.

This. If the art is AI then is the writing AI too? And if it is, is there a point in trying to understand the story in the context of the previous game? Did they change the story of the Twins with some larger idea in mind, or was it only something ChatGPT printed out after not understanding the story?
>>
>>4022418
>If the art is AI then is the writing AI too?
I don't see the leap in logic, anyone can write so they don't need AI for that. Almost no one can draw commercial quality game art so they do need AI for that. Using the one doesn't imply the other to me at all.

I agree with >>4022405 and >>4022418. And personally i don't mind if the human made art is less than ideal if theres passion behind it. Mspaint tier art can look endearing to me

I didn't play past the early part of second chapter yet, as well as remember much about my Brante playthrough 5 years ago, is the writing really that ass? I thought it's just art, which is not that big of a deal for cyoa genre, i think, but if there is ai writing to i guess i can get it this argument.

All these money they saved up by using ai instead of any of artists working on Brante really could be useful now, but i guess they just don't care that much.

Brante and Jerian are halfway between a text cyoa and a visual novel though, so the aesthetics and illustrations are important.

>Also, very cool that the game doesn't tell you maxing personality traits will fuck you over
Is this "game over" type fucking over or it's just make the game more difficult in the long run?

The game give you soo much mind/blood points early that it's really easy to just hit it to max in like middle of chapter 2.
>>
You know the Jerian writing isn't actually ai generated because ai would never add soo much cuckoldry into the plot.

By the time the Creed chapter comes around, every major decision (and you make them almost every turn) has a "If you are at 8 or higher in a relevant personality stat, pay up a sanity or eat shit and die" stat check. The same chapter will also keep throwing at you gain +3 personality stat or lose support with a faction events.
Atleast relationship requirements are lenient because each one can be replaced with a statcheck and even if you can't meet them, you can pay up with NotWillpower the game showers you with.
Make the mistake of jacking yourself up on Law during any of the billion different events that raise it and picrelated will stonewall any and all reform you may try to push through until you go insane or let yourself get rolled over by abstaining every vote.

Soo i keep playing and now on 3rd chapter.(yeah-yeah, i know, i really slow reader, piss off) The game, in terms of gameplay mechanics, weirdly managing to be an improvement and a downside at the same time. The tempest family points give you ability to fucking up without ruining your whole game, since you now can do a lot of the failed checks with this thing instead. But at the same time there is personality points, which is half time is annoying, and other is half is outright almost softlocking.(since you have only 5 options for the whole game to do a option that go against your principles before you go insane)

One of the main events of Great Censor chapter: paying a debt of Tempest family to Milanidas, you have exactly two options to do so:
rich humans
other arknians

Both of these options have a personality check for some fucking reason, and i go on chapter 3 through appealing to arknians, and don't feel like commiting a suicide by urgently increasing the powers of the opposite side, while also can't just go with aknians because i have capped mind and this deal with them requires 7 or less of mind. I bet if it's not going to outright kill you it's at least leave with some nasty decrease for your house power or something like that, that makes surviving in a actual late game even harder.
>>
Christ, Arknian supremacy has to be hard mode. I think you need to metagame from the start to prepare yourself for the crippling reputation losses. And rebellion needs to be as low as possible. Also Elitism/Tradition projects are fucking traps, maybe only the religious ones are safe on this path. You don't want those 8-10 events.

I hate the politic messaging in this game.
Brante was about injustice and corruption of the elites, with i suppose you could see as a left-wing believe, but it's wasn't was super on the nose or reek of allude to modern world.
In Jerian humans portrayed as literal niggers from Nigeria, barbaric and with alienated world view, replacing the native Arknians in their cities and turn their ancestral historical sites into slums.
All of this is actually a good thing doe, and if you not support your uncle (((Cornelius))) in giving them more and more rights, while also selling out the Arknian land to them, then you're a bigot piece of shit chud.

Alright, beaten the game, passed the creed and maxed out political support for it.
The entire final act is somehow more of a wet fart than the one in Brante.
Making the game built around fucking you over if your personality stats are 8 or higher and then having one final personality stat check that DEMANDS 8 or higher in Will (lol), Love (lmao) or Logic just so you don't get hardlocked into a bad ending is very, very, very funny.
Fuck this kusoge, what a piece of shit.
Even disregarding AI slop, I'm glad I resisted the urge to pay for this before pirating.

the fuck are you talking about, how did you make the connection between humans in jerian and modern african refugees
it's clearly based on the 18th/19th century conflicts between decaying aristocracy and rapidly growing bourgeoisie class
i guess if you REALLY tried to focus on the racial prejudice of the arknians you could see it as somewhat inspired by colonialism, but then it's much more indian-fight-for-independence-from-britain type of thing, than anything modern
but even then it's really far-fetched, i just saw it as a stand-in for different nationalities, you know, like hungarians fighting for more rights in the habsburg monarchy, or even american revolution

Chuds often over exaggerate the amount of woke stuff on CoG. To them having gay romances or black characters is woke for some reason. which is ironic seeing that games that first released like Choice of Robots or Choice of Romance let you be gay and brown so I don’t know why they act like if it’s some sort new concept being introduced into CoG games.

As already mentioned, the gay stuff has been there since the beginning. The claim that it’s gotten more woke however, is ludicrous.
More than ever there are either female or male only protagonists (at least in WIPs) or straight-only romances. The more recent example being Velocity, which is straight-only romances.

Welcome to V5, where we use hunger that you roll for every time you spend something (which makes the game harder because hunger adds difficulty to dice rolls in Nightroad). V5 is criticized for revolving around street level play that way, you are kind of punished excessively for thinking disciplines are cool. Most ST's will let you sit out a scene for a sippy or stock up though but not very possible in a text game.

I do get it, she'd be stuck having children and not being able to wear the clothes she likes and presumably wouldn't get to sneak off to read rebellious poetry. The bigger problem is the game ignores the option to not marry her off, let her stay at home and do everything she likes but not ask to officially make her a Brante (which is what actually fucks you because it tanks your rep).

He loves her, she will love him, they have kids that she will love, it's stupid to say it's loveless.
>>
>>4027903
Also, the guy marrying Gloria is actually losing face by doing it, only the Brantes gain anything from it. Gloria should be glad to contribute to the wealth and prestige of her father's family in some way (a father that lost face taking in the rape baby of a lotless woman).

Would you like to have your life dictated for you and married off to a stranger to improve the standing of a house that doesn't treat you as one thats truly part of the family?
>>
>>4028103

Yeah, retard. Alas, I don't get to partake in the easy mode femoids coast through life on. Stop being such a retarded fucking simp and actually think for a second about how hard everyone is bending over backwards to do right by that vapid bitch.
>>
>>4028103
I would because I love my family. Yet, I know why you struggle with it. It must be such an alien concept for an American, where your own family can kick you out once you turn 18, condemning you to a life on the streets and fentanyl consumption.
>>
>>4027958
I forget, would Gloria children be nobles or lotless in this marriage? Latter at least somewhat justifies her for not wanting this since it would just push all the problems she's facing onto her children
>>
>>4028147
they would be nobles
>>
>>4028103
>would you like to never have to work a day in your life, spend all day with your well-off children, AND help the people who fed and clothed you for your entire childhood?
Yes, duh, obviously. You westerners attach so many stupid feelings to simple things. No wonder none of you are happy.
>>
>>4028150
Then she really was just as retarded as I remember
>>
Btw, a few months ago i read humiliated and insulted by Dostoevsky. I think that Gloria as a character was inspired by Natasha. She spends the whole book bucking against her father, whose scorn only grows deeper and deeper.
>>
>>4028165
This sounds like the average woman's behavior when she lack appropriate fatherly care and a female role model though, both of which are true for Gloria
>>
>>4027903
>>4027958
The implications was that they actually hit it off really well but Gloria, being a shitflinger, thinks marriage is a trap. Ironic
>>
>>4028151
>>4028145
>>4028141
Why would gloria feel indebted to a patriarch that treats her like a servant? Its not as if she led a happy careless lifestyle, at a young age society dictated that she would be part of the chattel class and that she had to live as such, with her elder brother treating her that way after returning home from noble school 101 where he had societies rules and laws drilled into him. Her life has been a life of restrictions and limited freedoms and being told that she was lesser with no greater explination than "thats the way things are and god said so"
>>
>>4028375
>Why would gloria feel indebted to a patriarch that treats her like a servant?
Because the default state of life is starving and cold in the wilderness or on the street. She was fed, clothed, housed, and educated despite the person paying for and tending to all of that not even wanting to do it. She was given a great quality of life at the expense and time sink of her parents, anyone but a modern westerner understands this.
>>
>>4028407
Family doesn't operate on such a rigid give and take. You don't care for eachother on an emotionless, provisional basis. She was raised as a sibling and ought to be treated as such, regardless of the circumstances of her birth. She should have been taken in as an official brante from the get go, and not the half assed of "we'll let you keep your infant daughter but she's not officially one of ours". It just brewed contept and friction between siblings who started seeing class before anything else with each other.
>>
>>4028424
>She should have been taken in as an official brante from the get go
What a fucking dipshit, god damn
>>
>>4028375
She's literally part of the slave caste, and Robert isn't even her father. He still took her in and treated her like his daughter. Her life was way better than most commoners. She was allowed to be a useless NEET and sneak off to make poetry. The only injury she ever suffered was that her step-brother was somewhat mean to her.
She's useless and ungrateful to the maximum.
>Oh woe is me I have to get married to someone who's way above my station and even supports my retarded hobby I'd much rather sit on my ass all day long and contribute nothing!!!
>>
>>4028437
The entire point is that she wasn't, not really. She was lesser because lotless and a woman so she doesn't get the opportunities in life her brothers get and her grandfather scorns her because she's not a man and thus not useful to his ambitions of political power.
>>
>>4028448
The entire point is that she makes it clear throughout the entire game that she's undeserving of equal treatment or any of the infinitely many graces her family showers her with.
This was repeatedly explained to you, but talking to a hylic is like talking to an automaton.
>>
>>4028440
Thats just a gilded cage, gloria wants the freedom to live her life the way she wants to and as her elder siblings get to, and she bucks against a world that intercedes and prevents her at every turn. Sir Brante got a once in a lifetime shot at going to the big city and having a divirging life path to pursue of a noble, a monk or a revolutionary. Gloria doesnt even get that much.
>>
>>4028466
maybe she should have tried getting a job
>>
>>4028466
>gloria wants the freedom to live her life the way she wants to
Your childhood gf not only joined a terrorist cell but became one of it's prominent leaders. Gloria could've done the same if she had the balls to do it, but she'd rather complain and throw temper tantrums

At fucking what, life? Living? She should be happy her younger brother gets to go off to college while she is stuck in the same house she grew up in with no prospects and again, being treated as a second class citizen and liability by her grandfather and older brother?
>>
>>4028375
> Why would gloria feel indebted to a patriarch that treats her like a servant?
Why wouldn't she? She is part of the lotless. Her destiny is to toil and never look up. Yet, Robert gives her an education, feeds her, and even gets a noble husband arranged for her! Her luck is off the charts. Yet, she keeps pushing and pushing... to the point where I think she might be suicidal. Then I remember the authors are russian, so she is probably an archetype from their literature.
>>
>>4028424
>Family doesn't operate on such a rigid give and take
Very easy to say when you're the one taking and refusing to give.
>>
>>4028490
You would know had you played the fucking game instead of spouting redditisms all day, secondary.
>>
>>4028491
>Robert gives her an education, feeds her, and even gets a noble husband arranged for her!
She gets the bare fucking minum of not living as a peasant and her life is dictated for her at every step of the way. Thats not being lucky thats living in an unfair and unjust system. "Aren't you feeling lucky that you aren't starving and illterate?" Isn't a question thats asked in a healthy society.
>>
>>4028474
To be fair, your childhood female friend was also a supernatural abomination
>>
>>4028511
>bare minimum
As opposed to what she would have gotten which is less than the bare minimum because her mother got dealt an even worse hand. Yeah Gloria is snubbed by society but so was the entire Brante family, even if she's justified her excessive bitching and risk-taking at the cost of her adoptive family is a dick move even under the most liberal interpretation. She rarely ever tried seeing eye to eye with the family in trying to get a solution to her problems, but she also was too cowardly to actually try enacting any change herself.

She's just annoying because her entire character arc is almost entirely one-dimensionally rebelling against the system but without any actual goal.
>>
>>4028695
Nta but a big part of why this is so shitty for Gloria is that she doesn't even have an option to try and get a better status on her own, the mc can study to try and become a noble or a priest but Gloria being a woman is not allowed any option other than becoming completely dependant on a man. Which is weird because there are definitely women at the priest seminar, I'm not sure how they all get in when they're not allowed to study at the College, I guess female nobles can switch to the priest but not commoners?
>>
>>4028737
If Brante doesn't become a noble or priest he can still do quite well for himself by first of all getting a fucking job. Why can't she do the same? Go work in a printing shop or something. What does she even do besides being angry all day? Somehown even the depressed alcoholic younger brother is more useful.
>>
>>4028754
Don't you dare disrespect my brother SAINThan. He's not as big of a bum as Gloria.
>>
>>4028754
Gloria wants to write poetry. Having money wouldn't allow her to because she can't become a noble no matter what she does on her own. Brante can end up as any of the three classes because he is allowed to study for them, because he is a man. It's like if you had sword-obsessed Brante but he couldn't become a noble no matter what he did so he wouldn't be allowed to wield a sword ever, the fact that he could make money wouldn't fix this. The one thing Gloria could do would be to fully join the rebels and hope to change the entire status quo so she'd be allowed to write poetry in the new order but that requires becoming a criminal, she has no legal way to do it.

You can use them if it's a free release yeah, but if you want to make a game for profit (like with Patreon) you WILL need to email Paradox for permission.

That's the death knell. Thousands of written works died by these words. He could have kept his mouth shut and left the state of his game to imagination but by saying what he did, he guaranteed it will never see the light of day.
If you are lucky, he'll commit to actually pushing out chapter 4 within a month (by his own words almost done, just needs a few finishing touches btw) and that's the last you'll hear of it.
