Gahahaha, let's play Sengoku Rance! (NSFW)

[Mrowak]

That would be a real shame

But I guess there are enough perverts and sickos in Japan, and since that's the main market for eroge, I think it's a good bet that they will prevail.

Well, they will survive, but... The thing is, "old school" developers, the guys who were there to make the first Rance game, they are fading out. The danger is that they'll be replaced by popamole newbies who don't get the whole "good games with porn" aspect.

Good Lord Almighty... I know we're often at odds with one another... But please, please save at least this last vestige of creativity and ambition from dumbing down streamlining

I'm still butthurt over the fact that our last hope lies with weeaboo porn games... Your sense of irony truly runs deep.

Yet there's gotta be a way to give salvation to those few worthy ones, who even when misguided keep delivering where no ought to be expected. Please, just for a change - smite with holy fire (exterminatus will suffice) teh evul forces of Kotick, Molyneux, Todd Howard the incoming AliceSoft crew and other of Satan's countless lackeys.

Just leave Alice Soft be as it is - or better - make them do something more :monocle: so that the entirety of Codex (as opposed to merely majority) can have a moment of respite from popamole.

Yours eternally devoted,
Mrowak

Amen.

I don't think Alicesoft has to worry about that. If the Rance series is any indication their quality is still high if not improving.

Sengoku Rance is a long time ago. I fear for future.

Ok, that did not sound too bad. Or would not have sounded if we didn't have experience with similar business talk from western developers. We'll have to see how Daiteikokui will be. The news that they're going to finish Rance franchise does not bide well though

 

[Reject_666_6]

It's better for them to quit while they're ahead than to start some kind of next-gen decline by focusing on implementing that penis-controller from that thread in General Gaming instead of improving gameplay.

 

[Overweight Manatee]

Damn, that is sad news. Financial trouble doesn't bode well. But then half the world is in financial trouble at the moment so there is a good chance things will turn around.

Them finishing up Rance isn't a huge deal for me. IIRC the only princess Rance has left to fuck is Shira (dunno if thats the right name) of Helman. After that perhaps he gets to have a nice quiet retirement . And since he pretty much has an entire country's army under his command now (and the leaders of at least another two at his beck and call) he doesn't seem to have much to do afterwords anyway. As long as their upcoming games have equally good gameplay and decent writing I won't complain. As great as Rance himself is, he is pretty much a standard eroge player character and is hardly extraordinarily well written or anything.

Does anyone know what this means for the Rance 2 remake?

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Some small things about this update, it's version 2. I had a whole update already done but had to make a new one because I forgot about the...

Spoiler

Emperors Sword... damn it.

Anyway, this update is very when I think about that bastard Orochi.

---------------------------------------------------
*Between the turn*

Another day, another counter-attack.

Plus more strange shit.

I think that killing her (or leaving scars) has already proven to be rather difficult.

*Between the turn*

Turn #79

To stay on the “True” route we have to do just that or we will land on the “IF- Demon King” route. But let’s not panic, we still have some time.

While we are in the topic of time, waiting has paid off and from my observation I know that that pesky Archer-unit (with one of the Great Treasures) is right where I want it.

As our scout reveals.

Time to send out our Ninja to battle.

I speially left the last dip on Gumo to Inukai.

GOT IT!

It sucks to be you people… and demons.

Now it’s time look at those 10 fat poi… where the fuck are they? But I got the last one!

Look, six items… *stare*

*stare*

Fuck, “Broken Glasses” is not a treasure! But it’s in the fucking box for treasures? That means I’m still missing one.

*looks this issue up on the internet*

Ok, I know where I can find the last one, it concurs the Demon Army and Africa (not that one where niggers are running around).

Anyway, time to kick some boss ass. This dude is a bit easier then Orochi.

Yes?

Before we go down we still need to get some info.

Now we are ready.

Dive, dive, dive! Contrary to Orochi’s battle our AP don’t regenerate. So our weakest Commanders go first, Suzume with her “Dungeon Scout” ability makes sure that there will be one monster less on every floor.

Somewhere around floor #8.

Thanks to Natori’s info we manage to find this thingy (In the 1st version of the update I didn’t do this so there was no sword to be found).

We reach the last floor, my highest lvl Commanders still have full AP.

We find some fireworks and a boss with 7777hp who attacks all my units with his single attack.

This dude somehow looks familiar.

Anyway, time for some slugfest. Of course I’m using the technique that you saw in that youtube link provided earlier… without it I would be dead in the water.

Awesome Rance is awesome.

Last line.

Now we have to replace the “Out of movement” troops. Attacking with Eyeball would exhaust our last AP = instant lose.

Still some high-level characters were in reserve, good-good.

It’s going to be close.

TALK ABOUT FIGHTING BY THE SKIN OF YOUR TEETH!
(in the 1st version of the update it went better)

What. The. Fuck.

Beastly? Seriously, what is that?

What is going on???

Time to look up the loot. Uuh, a demon-clubber, or you could say we have a…

…pop-a-demon.

Some other stuff we will distribute in the next turn.

End of Turn #79
---------------------------------------------------

Some other things. Some prev finally decided to upload two volumes of "Sengoku Rance" manga, unfortunately still not translated.

In other semi-related news - yours truly finally found a job and it's a desk-job with an PC...

 

[Luzur]

great, now you can update once a day.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Good stuff WW!

Little bit worried about those Alicesoft news since I'm having a blast with both Rance and Big Bang Age. Hopefully won't reach JAPAN!

 

[Mrowak]

@ WW

Ha, you've certainly showed that Gunagan bastard. Kudos for making through that without... ehm... demonic help.

You finish that dungeon in one shot? I normally milk it for 6-7 times before finish off the boss, since it's a way to farm items and lessen the burden of final battle.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Hmm, I never considered "milking" a dungeon. Fascinating.

 

[spekkio]

great, now you can update once a day.

Another strategy games with tasteful rape are waitng...

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Wait, that ninja and deer picture is actually what you find after the fight?

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Believe me, you have to be from Japan to make that shit up.

[WhiskeyWolf]

No, I'm starting from Monday and... oh damn it, I died.

 

[ComradeCommissar]

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

WW, I need more material.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

I will look into it this weekend.

 

[lightbane]

Rance is not amused with the lack of updates.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

A very late update, I beg for forgiveness.

---------------------------------------------------
*Between the turn*

Another day in Rance’s Fuck Kingdom.

Wastage!

He should finally get over his butthurt.

*Between the turn*
---------------------------------------------------
Turn #80

So I did a little reconnaissance. I know that she will turn into the Demon King in turn 83. So the last call to visit the right dungeon is in turn 82.

So it’s time to clear another character.

What should a man do when he losses his purpose in life?

Some more reshuffling and additions on the way.

We are now much closer to the 300 goal (we have 294 to be precise).

Fucking time, we didn’t have this for a long time.

Looks like it’s going to be a bit hard this time

And no, it’s not another “hey, she was asking for it”. There really is something strange about her.

Lvl 56. Although I’m pumping up my Commanders non-stop I still have doubts about facing that bastard Orochi.

Time to discover another dungeon so we can visit it in the next turn.

End of Turn #80
