is there a more thorough walkthrough? I feel like there used to be one that helped with the coronation scene. I suck at etiquette so I always mess up that part...
I never bothered to go over the coronation because it doesn't affect what ending you get. There was a draft of the game many years ago where doing poorly on the coronation got you a bad ending, but it was cut.
Still, if you really want to know what the best choices are during the coronation:
Greet Mina first
Prince Beckett
Edmund
Connor
(If you punched Vidar earlier, admit it but don't apologize for it)
(If Janine is still alive, you can judge her however you like)
I really appreciate it. all the changes and stuff it confused me a little bit, and I don't think I've ever really used the daily planner but one day I may play with it. I still very much love this storyline but I'm kind of a completionist so I am truly grateful for your response.
Is Gunnar ok with polyamory or not? Sorry if this is spoiler!
I ended up on his route on accident and he seems to be both jealous but kinda ok with me being with Dyson. I wanna date both but I saw a post below about Paz being polyamorous and I'm not sure if the polyam route is actually Paz and Dyson instead?
Ffs I romanced Dyson exclusively and got Gunnars normal end because I didn't decide to marry him last minute. Even though they began referring to a marriage conversation that never happened. I was hoping I was gonna get a polyam ending despite not getting polyam options but I just got thrown at Gunnar right at the end despite avoiding him. Really odd. I think it's because I didn't drink enough in the booze game but the requirements to get a good ending with any guy you want seems so limited (miss one thing and you don't get it). I really like this game but it's a bit strange when you get on with one loads and then it curveballs you.
Omg is Dyson impossible? I just did another playthrough and it skipped the nightmare part so I couldn't get that part, I was doing everything else right, but never got the dating option it's coronation time..? I feel like the walkthrough doesn't give me enough details, is it designed for if you're playing without the planner part activated??
Hi! I'm sorry you're having trouble getting Dyson's ending. The walkthrough is written for playing with day planning turned off, as the planner introduces too many other variables.
What happened, in case you're curious, is a common bug where, by getting too many points with Gunnar while on Dyson's route, the game gets confused and gives you the polyamorous ending. This will be corrected in the remasered version of the game.
But, yeah, it was my first game and I didn't know what I was doing, so it's got a lot of... quirks.
If you still care about who's polyamorous and who's not, as per your first comment, the polyamorous route is Dyson and Gunnar. Gunnar isn't typically polyamorous in general, but Dyson is an exception for him. Paz isn't fully polyamorous, but dragons have a cultural standard of women taking many lovers. However, there is no in-game polyamorous content for Paz.
I hope any of this is helpful. If you have other questions, I'm happy to answer!
The problem I'm getting is I'm getting a conversation that implies I'm heading towards the polyam ending (the marry Gunnar convo) but I only ever get Gunnar's good ending, even if I was going for Dyson. I haven't had a single polyam ending, and I just ran the polyam route (after getting both boys good ending) with the planning off. I do get a series of errors really early into their route, where you're outside with the dog, I don't know if that's related but that's so far early and it seems more confused in the last act tbh. (The errors are just white pages with code and it makes me press 'ignore' about 6 times before it goes back to the game, then I can just rewind to see whatever it skipped. The error seems to get confused about where Dyson is standing when he joins the convo I think?)
If you can do more it'd be cool to see how Paz got on with a polycule too. I think Gunnar and Dyson are cute metamour's/partners. I like how they both play with dominance and submission in different but flexible ways (even if one is a fluffy alpha lol). Well this is a fantastic game for your first one, it has way more content than most VNs I've played, the fact your bugs are mostly related to 'too much content/variability' is kinda a compliment to your work, in a way lol
I'm gonna try to do the other characters' routes and try the polyam one once it's been remastered then. :)
Oh actually, one small question, in the polyam walkthrough it says 'both' for the penultimate option. Should I have a decision where I can pick the word 'both' or does this mean the next relevant choice has 2 options and either give you a point? Because I had multiple options between the antepenultimate choice and the ultimate choice, and none of them had the word both, so I tried going through them with different options but it didn't seem to make any difference. Just want to check I'm not missing some content!
So I just played through the polyamorous route real quick to make sure that it wasn't broken, and I was able to get the right ending, but I also didn't get any errors, so that's pretty weird that you were getting them. Luckily, that shouldn't affect your ability to get the poly ending.
There should be a scene shortly after the nightmare where Gunnar and Dyson show up to give you the option to date both of them, and that's where the "Both" comes in. If you're not getting that, then the problem is happening somewhere before that point.
After that, there should be a karaoke date with both boys, and then the kidnapping stuff. If you keep Gunnar alive during all of that, then you should be on the right track.
I'm playing Aurore for the second time and I have a tiny question I've been wondering about for a while! In the game Cain says vampires are carnivores but I think I remember Desmonda receiving a fruit basket as a present. I was wondering if that was an in game inconsistency or if she was just being polite and accepting it because if was a gift?
It's been a few years since I wrote the story, so I might be wrong, but I think the fruit basket thing came up on Paz's route, when Desdemona helped Ilma arrange the visit to the planetarium. In that instance, Daphne was using "fruit basket" as an example of a thank-you gift, rather than a literal suggestion. If the fruit basket comes up elsewhere in the story, I don't remember it, but it's probably a mistake on my part.
Anyway, thank you for the comment! I'm so glad you like my game enough to play it for a second time. :)
I don't know if you follow my tumblr or patreon, but I announced a remastered version of Five Princes would be coming out sometime in 2022, so I hope you'll enjoy the new graphics when it comes out!
Oh I remember it a bit better now! It was definitely my mistake for not reading into the scenario properly as I was under the impression it was a thank you gift for her xD I'm so excited for the remastered version! ;w; The sprites look really nice and Lana is so pretty gosh ;w; You really did her justice! I kind of miss Paz's old skin tone and palette as I thought the cool tones fit well with his gentle and quiet personality. However, I think the sprite itself is still really well done and I'll definitely be following along!
I love this game so much! It's so hard to believe that it's available for free. The story building was amazing and the characters are so well written. Usually I only play one or two routes when there are 4+ LIs but I played all of them here coz they're all so interesting. I didn't like the art style at first but then I saw the ample number of CGs which were all so beautiful. And the detailed walkthrough guide provided is so handy. The Extras part of the menu is also so fun to play. There were a few spelling errors here and there but not too many to distract you from the story.
It's very hard to find Visual Novels like this which are both story rich and have 18+ content AND are free. This is a very rare find and I'm looking forward to more games from this developer.
