Every time I draw it for a sister it works but every time I "feed" a tree or similar it tells me I've wasted a bit of color doing so. Razz

On cycle 2 now, need to hurry up or I'll fail.
(The game takes place over 23 cycles from what I've read, you don't really want the bad ending due to being slow although as a large part of the game was rewritten from the Russian version some things are different now, there's "quests" and objectives for example and the story is more structured due to being rewritten but so to was the various endings so only a few remain, could be divided into three different endings.)

For the story?

Here and the article here.

And here but note that it discusses the ending.

(Also discusses the time problem with a limited amount of cycles that I mentioned.)

ah, i remembered there was a thread
you should add 'the void' to the topic title for future reference

the drawing system is fucking bullshit
tried the feed glyph a million times and always failed
is there some trick to it or should i just delete this thing?
i'd really like a proper trippy game for a change.. it's been a long while since sanitarium and this appears to have potential

If you "color" a tree and it lights up it'll still work despite that message but you will waste a bit of color compared to drawing it perfectly. Smile
(First objective is more about visiting all the normal nodes however although having a few trees to "feed" from is helpful later on.)

Once you get a "sister" to level 3 (Heart 3?) they'll remove that sparkling "dust" around them, after that and at level 4 (4 Hearts filled.) they'll do some pretty wild poses. Razz

The English version is supposedly made more accessible and structured what with quests and similar to order the story a bit plus it was rewritten somewhat, in the original Russian version this didn't really exist and you just followed the sisters and improved your character until you could confront the brothers and maybe leave the void one way or another but supposedly the game was very hardcore even with the story (Similar to Pathologic) so they choose to restructure things a bit and make them more accessible and balanced like having the game gradually increase in difficulty instead of being very hard and then getting quite easy as it was originally (All those heart containers and lympha collections later on.)

Unsure if you would notice much of a change comparing both versions but they play very much the same although the English and German versions (English version is mostly a translation of the German one as far as I know.) were made a bit more structured and accessible although they play the same.
 Spoiler:
 


As for censorship and similar the German version is unaltered from the Russian one aside from story and balance and the same goes for the English version from the German one, full nudity is a possibility and so are other themes like the skimpy outfits and more revealing poses.

The engine uses a resolution that ideally should be 4x4 or something which means up to 1440x900 but changing the resolution manaully will work fine though it's unsupported but nothing will happen with the game if you do this, mentioned in the readme. Smile

EDIT: Different hearth levels and in the end the cycle continues from Sister to Sister. Embarassed




(Semi-erotic perhaps but it does give the feeling of them casting of those "bonds" or chains that bind them, plus it's a nice touch and eastern Europe - along with Germany as far as I know, hehe - are pretty open minded about nudity and such themes.)

Nope, just not willing to jump through hoops to get a proper resolution. This is 2009, not 1999 - there shouldn't be any need to edit files in order to get basic support for something games have had for years. Knowing my luck, I *would* get glitches.

Yeah and it's all going downhill, new games can't even get basic things like FOV right (yeah Borderlands, looking at you!). Very Happy

Besides, INI tweaking is kinda fun in its own way.

Sabin did you even look at the link lol... your very short of late, is married life getting you down Very Happy

this is all u need to create in your own txt file with .xml extension..

Quote:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Renderer>
<Width>1680</Width>
<Height>1050</Height>
<Antialiasing>3</Antialiasing>
<Anisotropy>16</Anisotropy>
<TextureQuality>0</TextureQuality>
<LightmapQuality>0</LightmapQuality>
<NoTwoSidedStencil />
<HDR/>
</Renderer>


Hardly jumping through hoops is it Very Happy Btw do this after u run it once as it does the config popup of choice overwrtiting what u put in the file..

p.s I changed the AA to 2 as that sets it to 4x i believe and with edge detect i did not need it at 8x..

Precisely. It's all bullshit, worse is that they expect you to PAY for the right to be shafted. Yeah, no thanks. I've got a monitor that only works properly in native resolution (1680x1050) and looks like boiled ass in anything else, so I'll be damned if I'm going to play a game looking like shite just because the developer was too fucking lazy.

When there are benefits, yeah - I agree, but not when it's to fix sloppy bullshit coding from a lazy, useless, developer.

Que? No I'm not :-\ I'm actually considerably relaxed and happy, I just don't like being taken for a cunt and then told I have to pay for the privilege.

No, course not! I mean, having to go edit game files and create your own files with custom code is normal, honest! Rolling Eyes

It's not really porn but it has a few "sensual" or what to say elements to it, rather unique and odd so it's not really for everyone.
(Similar to Pathologic once again, same developers after all.)
