They shouldn’t take long. I have their concepts down, so an update or two should add them :droplet::plus::wilted_flower:=:rose:

(I can never go back to writing the stuff manually now lol. Just screenshot it!)

(Though I suppose I still have to write it for the latest update tab… Unless…)

Huh, I should have guessed you were a day ahead. But now I know.

Also, NEW UPDATE?! Yes! Gimme gimme gimme!

It seems that everyone’s affection stats reset at the start of chapter 4 (my hard earned Link points :weary_face:)

From chapter 4 on in general it feels almost impossible to gain affection/relationship points with Link; despite reloading often to try multiple options I wasn’t able to raise it any higher than 2 affection and 4 relationship after it reset… Could obviously be due to me missing choices or intentional for the story, though, I just want the man to dance with me! :sob:

Also got this error:

OMG I am so sorry lol that error completely makes all of the new content of L and A routes inaccessible if you do not quick start. It should be fixed now.

This is just because I haven’t written those increases. It stems from the fact that the presence of relationship events reduces affection to just a ceremonial stat beyond Chapter 3. That’s why I temporarily left it as is to figure out a solution later.

Hopefully there are no more errors and I can go back into hibernation

Always ahead, never behind (Okay, erm… sorry.)

An error completely ripped that, but now it should be fixed :sob:

Have to say that my love for Inaya grows every time I read this masterpiece.

Is their a stoic personality? I thought having no emulation was stoic and if it is then I feel as though the mc isn’t stoic enough in certain scenes.

What’s the difference between affection and relationship?

Just finished reading and all that i can say in this update is…. It’s fucking amazing I can’t wait to get stronger so I can marry my little tsundere Inaya (I want to be snapped like a twig :sob::folded_hands:).

Le me when writing :sweat_smile:

The default personality is nothingness. The rest just depends on which dialogue options you pick at the moment, cause the MC can just canonically have whatever personality they want lol. I am personally not fond of rigid personality structures so I have stayed away from that.

Perhaps I missed a nonchalance dialogue option? It would help if I were made aware of the particular scene/scenes.

Affection is supposed to be short term, and is supposed to reset every chapter, while relationship is supposed to be long term and rarely decrease. Mathematically, 10 affection points correspond to 1 relationship points (but relationship points are of course, more valuable). However, the system isn’t much properly implemented cause I was more focusing on the ‘proof of concept’ writing, and than thinking about adding proper system and checks later.

Compliment response starter pack:

Haha (awkward laugh)… (ellipses for awkward pause) I am glad (generic and overused starting) that you like it.

I also noticed that it should be ‘had’ not ‘has’ in the second paragraph :wilted_flower:. Will fix them in a bit.

Everyone really likes Inaya and well, fair. But how about some Aiza love?

Whoo Aiza!

But seriously I really like all of the characters not just the Love Interest, but the majority of them. And that’s honestly impressive. Altaiir is genuinely talented when it comes to character work. This has been a gem watching Project Calamity come along since the first 3rd of this year. Can’t wait to buy it on release.

(P.S Altaiir I really need to just set aside a couple days to code dive you again soon. (If, that’s okay.) I really love the way you code and have since become better myself. I’m exited to see how you’ve changed aspects as the different needs arose.)

Okay, so like, I have been thinking on how to respond to the first three pargraphs for ten minutes now, and have come to the realisation that I am mentally unable to respond to anything that contains more than two compliments, so yeah sorry :wilted_flower:

I guess I should rely on what I have always relied on:

Haha… I am glad you enjoyed it this much.

how :sob:? My code is like if you tell a child to solve a hexadecimal problem, but he stubbornly refuses to learn it and just somehow used decimal system to string together an answer (Uh, I hope this example makes sense…)

Having seen your code, it very much does.
Forgot to say, I also liked what you’ve so far, and couldn’t find anything bad to say, what a shame, you’ll have to accept the compliments :upside_down_face:

I have to say I really enjoyed the update, even though it was quite short. But Aiza’s event was just amazing, You really are good at writing characters, I especially loved the ending as it gives a reason to why Aiza is so ‘rude’.
I can’t wait for her first event and the next update. But of course take your time.

Typos (Spoilers)

God dammit, for some reason I can’t upload images anymore.

I’ll use text to describe the scenes.

When clipping Aiza’s nails :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
‘’ Relying on others for such a simple ****doesn’t…
task

At the beginning of chapter 6’s image. The second number is 20527 which should be 23527

In Aiza’s event when thinking about how to break the barrier, one of options says that Aiza’s gave herself only 3 minutes while you have 30 minutes to break the barrier. Which should be wrong as time flows 6 times faster in the dimensional bubble(I am calling it that) than the outside. So she should have 5 minutes of time.

Also when you break out, Aiza says that you were 12 seconds earlier than expected to which one of the dialogue says that it was a 2 second error from your part because of the time difference in the bubble.
But this is not possible as a 2 second difference in the bubble would be 0.333 second difference outside as time flows faster inside the bubble that outside.
As a general formula, Time elapsed outside = (Time elapsed inside the bubble)/Flow multiple. Where the multiple would be 6.
So a 12 second error from Aiza’s perspective would be 72 second error from the MC’s perspective.

When she uses the eye on the children , and asks for names she says ‘all in case of all, all known in case of some, one is case of one.’
That should be ‘in’. This happens both times she uses the eye.

At the beginning of the festival, you fetch martus. It would be better to replace that with the name of the martus.

Also when Mary talks about the basic and higher orders the last paragraph refers to the divine and ancient orders as a part of the 12th order, this should be corrected to 13th and 14th order.

I also noticed the variable f_events_done is never set to 1 even if you complete her event so you can’t get the extra 2 lines currently which is not a problem, but I imagine it will be after F gets more content.

There was some other errors but I forgor to take screenshots so I don’t remember.


Wait apparently I can upload images of the code but not the actual game?

My Ramblings about the Lore

Ρηεψγαρ the knight of the third, I believe is most likely to be the MC, they were the one in the beginning scene. Theo is most likely referred to as the ‘Third’, and since we have some strange dreams and the MC seems to be absolutely adoring Theo. It seems we are her Knight.

Theo is some kind of manifestation of the void. I believe MC and Raeyghar to be also some manifestation of the void. As the MC wants to have a story which every human should have. So they are most likely a part of the void that wishes to exist. The whales in the other dream probably represent Children Of The Void, and call MC and Raeyghar, Brother and Sister(not in that specific order).
I don’t who Mother is.

It seems that Raeyghar and Ρηεψγαρ want to destroy the World and all its stories. Raeyghar goes around destroying other worlds but doesn’t seem to go after the World where supposedly MC is in.

The scene in the endless mist chapter is also quite interesting, the MC gets premonitions? Of the supposed future, but I don’t think that’s the case. I believe everything is caught up in a Time loop of some sort. Aiza’s event gives the MC some memories that don’t belong to them about another reality where they meet a female Luca just like how the MC meets Luca at the start. This could hint at another reality or past events inside the Time Loop.

The beginning scene with Ρηεψγαρ was maybe the end of one of these loops or maybe the beginning of the endless cycle after Ρηεψγαρ dare destroyed all stories. Or maybe I am just looking too deep into it.

I have not read Inaya’s events so they may have some revelation, I will read them later.

The Keeper’s of the Key, want/have The Key To Heaven, and are trying to save the world, which is objectively true, as confirmed by the Eye. What is the key? I don’t think we have enough information to discern what it truly does but I can try to guess, i think it may have something to do with the Divine, maybe gaining access to the space beyond the world and letting Raeyghar in the World, to begin the Eclipse of All Stories. Or something else that targets the Divine.

If it truly was a Time Loop this time something has to change, something from the outside has to interfere or something Fundamental about the World needs to change.

I feel like some of the points I made have shaky foundations(like the Time loop thing) so I might be severely wrong.

I am very glad to hear that. Someone saying they await the next update is a great motivation to me!

In regards to the time suff, so, uh, will you believe if I told you I was the top math student of my class, even in calculus? Probably not considering I failed a basic formula here :sob:. I will re-evaluate the time difference and fix the values appropriately.

I have also fixed the rest of the errors from my end, but since they are mere typos, I will just include them in the next update, though with the exception of the chapter 6 image which I have uploaded the fix as it is a seperate file.

Oh and about the lore, most of the questions are answered in the Key to Heaven arc, so it’s not much far off.
