[Patreon]Manuscript: Another Way[RenPy] v0.3.22 FIX

[agl]

We just released the the new build of our game. Version 0.5.41, a Prologue and the four chapters.
This adult game is in a VN format, but also contains immersive RPG style aspects, including character development, combat and exploration systems.

Manuscript: Another Way storyline:
The main protagonist of this game was an ordinary, (or not?), college student; without a girlfriend. Two campus girls hold romantic interest for him, but he lacks the confidence to approach them. Our 'hero' finds himself in another world full of magic and adventure through a twist of fate, with monstergirl counterparts to his romantic interests in this world... Will he be able to accomplish in this fantasy realm, what he has lacked the willpower for in the real world?

Features :
- A lot of different endings that reveals new aspects of the story and characters.
- Choices made by the player during the game affect relationship levels and actions with the characters.
- The greater the intimacy of the protagonist to the girls, the more effectively they fight. And vice versa, any actions of the protagonist will affect the attitude of the girls.
- Several story arcs, that are depending of the protagonists choices.
- Original graphics.

The main plot will be a sex relationship between the protagonist and two girls, but there will be multiple sideplot scenes with different sexual content and fetishes.

Type of content & fetishes in the current version:
- Catgirl
- Bunnygirl
- Big breast
- Small breast
- Tentacles
- Fail over Rape
- Mind control

The art is excellent, but the translation needs some work. 

I would also work on the fighting balance in combat a bit... After losing to the tentacle monster twice as geek variant character, (just no contest), it just seemed too overpowered to warrant a third attempt. 

I'll keep an eye on this as a patron, but the game needs some work on immersion and combat elements first. 

The demo, as presented, is basically linear in nature... Not a lot of room to feel involved in the plot or choices. Though i will reserve judgment on that until the plot is more thoroughly established.

I would also like to know what fetishes are in store here. 

Monstergirl, and mind control are stated, but that doesn't really give much of an idea as to the direction or purpose of the game... Will these two characters end up as companions on a MonstrerGirlQuest type of adventure through the fantasy world, or are we looking at a more Harem style adventure where they are ancillary companions as you build a Harem?

Or, possibly this would be a more DatingSim type where you just choose to develop the relationship between these to protagonists as the game progresses?

Personally i would favor the MGQ or Harem type RPG adventure with a good story, rather than being limited in interactions to the 2 protagonists.

Buffmuffin, If you think that English translation is imperfect, maybe you can help us with making it better?

Sure. I'll rerun it and send a PM with the text changes.... 

If memory serves, there were a couple of sentences where the intent of the author wasn't clear, so I'll include a question on those.

I have to agree with buffmuffin, as an Englishman myself, the translation of the game was actually quite painful to read, and was a major turn off for me, which is a shame, because everything else in the game looked good

Greetings!


As we mention before, our game has participated in the competition at the Russian adult game developers community. (on Russian, registration needed)

We are pleased to announce that our game, Manuscript: Another way, won first place in two nominations! The best game and the best game design. Also, we took the third place as the best story.

According to the contest, we should have done a complete game with the finale. Therefore, we made a temporary episode for the contest. It contains five good endings, two neutral and two bad endings. This does not include the bad endings at battle loses. This episode will not go to the main game plot. The final version of the game may have other endings. In addition, there will be more endings at a later stage.

In any case, we decided to release the English version of this episode as a test. It is already available on Patreon for our patrons who have signed up for testing (10$).

Meanwhile, we are now working on the next episode of the game. Follow the news!

Best regards,
The Team!
