Re: Katawa Nobilis

Chancels In order to protect themselves, each Imperator claims a piece of the world as its own. They twist a piece of the world up, divorcing it from the real world either partially or completely, and hide their physical bodies somewhere inside. The Imperator's Nobles are chosen from among the inha...

Re: Are You Ready For Release?

Well, the Ren'py programming language works so that writing and programming can be done more-or-less concurrently. I'd think after path direction, the biggest obstacles would be debugging and copyediting.

Re: Harem route is the only acceptable choice for me!

Also, about possible sexual dysfunction: --While "erectile dysfunction" is listed as a possible side effect of Hisao's meds, not everyone gets every side effect. --There are medications available to cure ED. --While Hisao's not in great shape as of the end of Act 1, the Nurse is working to...

Re: Harem route is the only acceptable choice for me!

One of the problems with the harem route idea is that, yes, Hisao is each girl's designated True Love. However, Shizune's True Love is a different Hisao than Hanako's True Love. Shizune would likely detest Hanako's Hisao, while Shizune's Hisao would simply overwhelm poor Hanako. It's a pluralistic, ...

Re: Katawa Nobilis

The Wound System Nobles have:  2 Normal Health levels 1 Tough Health level 2 Divine Health levels Mortals generally have one Normal Health level. Professional fighters and such might have two. Grizzled veterans might even have one Normal level and one Tough level. Kenji's just that hardcore. The nam...

Re: Questions for "stereo"-hearing people

I've never really thought about binaural hearing, but when I do I realize precisely how much it bothers me when only one headphone works. On school computers, one of the first things I do if I plug in headphones is make sure that the outputs are balanced. There are a few songs I like that use pannin...

Re: Katawa Nobilis

It's somewhere in between a design decision and a running gag. 1st edition only described Lord Entropy in detail, 2nd edition described both Ananda and Lord Entropy but didn't give any info on Ha-Qadosch Berakha and Surolam besides "Ha-Qadosch Berakha is self-interested" and "Surolam ...

Re: Katawa Nobilis

I suspect it's a retroactively applicable back-translation. Surolam wasn't really defined until this edition; each new edition has explained an additional character on the Council of Four. (5th edition will be interesting.)

Re: Katawa Nobilis

The forces of Creation present a unified front to the Excrucians. Well, they try to. The Imperators are a fractious bunch, usually. But for something as important as the defense of Creation, they try to remain unified. To this end, the forces of Creation obey the Council of Four. The Council of Four...

Re: Katawa Nobilis

Before I do Kenji, here's some explanation of Bonds and Afflictions. Also Estate Properties, since they're sort of related. Bonds and Afflictions are generally written as English language sentences describing something you must do, something you can't do, or something you are driven to do. Even if t...

Re: Katawa Nobilis

There are a few things that make Nobilis different from most other RPGs. Firstly, it's diceless. Conflict isn't about luck or chance, it's about resource management: "What do I want, and how far will I go to get it?" Secondly, your character can warp reality. So can the other characters in...
