Thank you so much for your sweet words! Feel free to join the discord to hangout and get all the RCVN news, and if you feel like the VN deserved it, be sure to leave a rating!
Awww, thank you so much for this! I appreciate it a lot <3 Feel free to stop by the discord some time, and if you believe it deserved it, I'd love it if you left a rating. Thanks so much for enjoying!
you can send me a dm on discord with a screenshot of the error, and I can help you then. With the information provided I'm not sure how much I can help you
People are more than welcome to make a "bad" choice! It's their choice! That's why it's implemented in the first place instead of me waiting to release that scene until after the vn was finished. I just figured this was a good middle ground of "You're not supposed to go in that room, but if you REALLLLLY want to, you can."
Because i don't want people to experience it on their first play through. its ending is incompatible with the sequel, so if I don't do something to establish it as exclusive, then it would get confusing in the long run.
Mc is certainly not a self insert in the traditional sense, and the top option is fully implemented :) I feel like the MC has shown pretty clearly that he's not a blank slate you're meant to take on the role of. That being said, you are obviously free to choose whichever you please, but I do hope the MC made it very clear the consequences of picking either option. The option is greyed out because it locks you into a... let's say 'less than savory' ending, and isn't meant to be picked on the first play through because of ramifications, even if it is fully implemented.
Thank you so much <3 I appreciate it a lot! If you think the update deserved a 5 star review, it would mean the world to me! My goal is to get 400, and I'm so close!
Well, I have a lot of IRL commitments, so I am forced to take it at a much more reasonable pace than spitting out 115K words in 6 months, like I did with build 3. It's good. It forces me to take it at a more doable rate so I don't get burn out. I have no personal idea of how long? I know how far into the story we are! We're like 60% of the way through. If I had to venture a GUESS (this is not like me making an official statement haha, just theory crafting) It's maybe 3 builds more? Depending on size of the build?
I highly recommend doing the path! But not the first time through :)
Hence why I am choosing to gatekeep it so readers can experience the story in the way it was intended to be told. I will obviously reveal the path publicly at the end of the VN, and of course, anyone is welcome to spend the time doing guess and check or going through the code to find the path for it. It's more of a "non-cannon secret ending" rather than a viable option, so I don't want anyone to accidentally stumble onto it during their play-through. Not to spoil anything, but the consequences of picking that route are... well... they're pretty disgusting by the ending haha.
You get it! That's one of the whole running themes of rcvn is giving up your expectations and what you want for the greater good, without losing your identity in the process.
To make eco choose the path of fear, and refusing to embrace himself comes with some pretty hefty consequences... consequences that are hefty enough to make it incompatible with the sequel. That's why I gate kept it. It is in the game, you can technically go trial and error your way through it and unlock it. The art in the top scene is amazing, the special song is beautiful, but the writing is truly heart breaking at the culmination of it. You will feel like a very bad person if you pick it haha, which is very intentional. If you are imagining a hot, passionate scene, change your expectations. Eco is not happy for a single moment during it.
Well, since eco makes it quite clear what he wants and what it means to him, picking that option goes against the character's explicit wishes, so it can only be unlocked by a certain combo of dialogue choices <3
Main title theme is Tears in Rain by Scott Buckley (most songs are by scott buckley, some are custom composed) All his music is CC B.Y. 3.0 CR claim, so they can be used in vns <3
