Pretty sure he customized twine to make it look like a CoG game. The familiar CoG feel but you have twine saving and probably other shit.

>>3957796
Eh I support the idea. It not only makes Jade Dragon more than just a cheat mode, giving an incentive to actually try it, thank to all other special events it gets, but it's also somewhat unreasonable for the six thousand year old dragon to suddenly fall for your dumb teenage self. You are a couple hundred years to young for that.

>>3958018
They can just sit home, use buffer's barrier to get a bit of aura each year and every couple of days generate a shard or two by condensing their chi. The blacksmith probably gets the most of it if he wants to stay in his job, the herbalist has to go full alchemist because picking reagents is too dangerous but the trapper father might get kneecapped.

>but it's also somewhat unreasonable for the six thousand year old dragon to suddenly fall for your dumb teenage self
i understand but i think i will still disagree. the impression she gives is that she just loves life/the world, down to the smallest things, i don't think she ever once treated simple people like you would expect from a being that old and powerful and the small things of life were never bellow her (then again i did not do all routes and she's a new character)
so i think that if the feeling did appear, it also makes sense that she would accept

>>3958009
Nay ofc, that is kinda one of the major points of the plot, each person chooses their path in life.

Was being loyal to the fluffy tail in that run specifically.

>>3958171
Nta but it happened to me once on a previous build. If you don't play Kiihakai, go for the pelt and don't select her in Harehama/skip the tavern for extra time on sea, it is possible to get not enough romance flags to sleep with her on Guarded Blossom.
But that was on the previous build, you can get more flags in her personal quest now. But I also think you can kill the romance if you decide to fish instead of holding her hand when returning.

Am I the only one who feels like Desdemona is basically just witch fubuki? She even has a group of mediocre followers who listen to be big shit

On the other note, same as it ever was, bloodfuel doesn't work.

>>3958187
Oh yeah and another thing I've noticed is that the guard points from the kiihakai technique do not disappear when you unfocus it. The game still retains the guard points and prevents damage with an empty name in place of the technique name.

What's even the point of giving you the option of sparing it at all outside the damage check?
That's what I get for not killing everything that attacks me.

>>3958350
Mercy towards your enemies is almost always a suckers game.
Killing the lightbringer sets a permament variable and sakura does mention her finishing off the fish pisses off the wild god. So assuming it ever shows up again, it will very quickly turn into your problem.
I say not getting the godthreaded belt is a far bigger problem though.

>>3958353
And you get more imperial points for sparing lightbringer but honestly, you should be able to get 7s and 8s constantly if you know what you are doing.

Is AC already ported into twine? Cause the UI just looks like CS.

>>3958381
It has been ported since October.

>>3958382
Damn. The UI sucks then.

>>3958385
He intentionally made it resemble choicescript, for better or worse. Personally, I don't give a damn.

Is your first element your yin or yang element? Also is there a way to switch the yin/yang after locking them in?

>>3958386
It's annoying to access the different menus through the stat screen. You can easily just make a new button for handseals/alchemy/techniques/etc with twine so I don't see this autistic need to keep COG's shitty UI.

>>3958389
Fair enough.

>>3958388
Can't remember which is first. But there's now way to switch them and the bonus is small enough that it's not worth matching them up.

>>3958388
Yin elements are Darkness, Earth, Ice and Water
Yang elements are Wind, Storm, Light, Water and Fire

First element that you choose in Chapter 3 Shugendo training will always go into Yin Slot (1st slot)
Storm Element (Chapter 3), Darkness Element (Chapter 5), Water Element (Chapter 6) or Memorywell Elixir Elements will go into first free slot that is availiable
Fire Element from burned tavern will always go to Yang Slot (2nd slot)

You optimally want to get yin element in your yin slot and same for yang.
Gets better bonuses when you equip the elemental crests

>>3958398
>Water is yin and yang
I'm pretty sure only darkness, earth and ice are yin.

The element system in AC is way too complicated. There are too many of them and a couple feel redundant. Like, why does ice need to be its own element when water exists? And the order of the yin yang element being locked means your basically required to use the memorywell elixir on yourself since some of them can't be acquired in your Yang slot through other means.

>>3958389
>You can easily just make a new button for handseals/alchemy/techniques
Not a bad idea

>>3958405
I realized that was basically true, so I already changed it on the ch9 release to automatically apply yang elements to your 2nd slot (yang) if it's open. Also the reason Ice, Light, and Darkness are elements at all is AC was originally supposed to be a tabletop card game and I wanted 8 elements so that four players could have 2 without buying a second set of cards. I made the IF to advertise the shitty card game, then it blew up so I dropped the card game.

>>3958405
My issue is more balance wise. I do not think it's better to advance them over your main style so , they stay novice rank and you just boost with items.
Unless they were hidden if you lack requirements, I do not think anything in chapters 8/9 required beyond Adept

>>3958411
For each point of mastery you get a bigger boost to checks where they are used. Being a novice gives a plus one to check, expert plus two and so on, same thing with the styles. The only advancement that's almost always better for the style is the Daichi one that gives a technique, the rest just depend on what you want.

>>3958406
Personally, I'd make a sidebar. There's so much empty space on the left and right of the screen. Seems a shame not to fill it with something.

Finally beaten the last chapter, now the waiting begins again
As a sidenote, I tried drinking the memory well elixir around the time during Sakura fight and I couldn't pick to boost my Fire element despite the Dragon trial finale being in a Fire & Earth(?) gate according to Jack. Not sure if bug or an oversight since anon probably didn't expect anyone to still have the elixir at this point
Time to replay and give it to Jin so I can actually see his part of the last chapter instead of jobbing
Someone please give me a qrd on how to check the code like here >>3957948

cultivator anon, I just gotta know: will jack become a romance option? enemies to lovers is a very popular trope after all.

>>3958401
Water is both yin and yang. I think anon was concerned that water, an element that is notoriously ignored in fiction, would be ignored in Aura Clash as well so he made it easier to implement in builds as a freebie.
The thing is, we are mostly in coastal areas for now so he also has to write it to interact with it, thus making the element decently strong.

Kind of a shame that if you already have water from the temple, you still end up with level 2. Anon could have at least given a bit of AP as a consolation prize. Even the deception bonus is not that good if you intend to cash the writ in for a skillbook.

A lesson for the future runs. And it's not like you need that insight boost with how abundant insight raising bonuses are. I think a real shame is that light still doesn't have a a non-temple related method to be acquired. I remember someone saying that fighting lightbringer would give you the opportunity to do so but I haven't seen that option.

>>3958574
I think that Rin's quest which was cut could partially help with that. It's supposed to be another shugendo training with her and Desdemona. Depending how it's going to be designed, it could take less time but not give a skill point, so if you go water you can still benefit from Gong's teaching you, or you can pick light and something else later with Angelo.

>>3958557
>>3958573

>>3958579
>so if you go water you can still benefit from Gong's teaching you
You still do. The only thing you miss out if you grab water element in ch6 is some loot and an artifact that boosts your yang element that is arguably worthless because it doesn't raise a skill. Even on runs without water element, I pretty much never use it.

>>3958414
Isn't having a sidebar with your stats visible like default twine stuff?

>>3958585
Yin and Yang crest combo for core and skill boost on top of having two elements on Adept at least is pretty strong.
Not sure which two accessories combined are better if you have proper element slotting

>>3958573

>>3958622
I am a big fan of light for it

>>3958622
storm and light imo, focus on dodging and energy attacks
though i should warn you that this could block you from getting trained by eldra? she mentions you need a yin and yang element or smth..

>>3958585
>You still do.
You can get up to 3 skill points from him. One of your choice from the skillbook, one to persuasion from his technique, and the last one to deception if it is 1 or 0.
If you pick water in the temple, you get a free point to deception and if you have enough loot in your ships, you get a technique that gives you another one, thus raising it to 2, which makes you waste a point.

>>3958622
Light/Darkness imo

>>3958628
It's 2 or lower
>t. passively gets 1 deception from kitsune racial and 1 from that one technique and still grabs the +1 deception from gong

>>3958630
My bad, maybe it was 3 instead. I remember missing it once long ago, maybe I played a kitsune kiihakai with water shugendo then.
But on the other side, you don't really need that much deception. Even if you have 2 points after Gong's tutelage, you can float one extra point by handseals and another one by equipping the kusarigama from Guiren's quest so you end up with 4 and the one point you put into something else contributes to your build.

>>3958634
That's the thing though. It's all passive gain from stuff you were doing already as a kitsune
>+1 from racial that also makes your handseals cheaper
>+1 from a technique that you primarly use to lower the price of everything by 10%
>+1 from gong that's just a bonus to getting a skill book and a skill that lowers the price of everything by another 10%
That's already enough to beat basically every deception check. Then you can also get another +1 deception when forming a foundation with Yang's help on top of a free element, skill and core improvement.
And then yeah, you can also just equip that sword you get for free from guiren's quest for another free point of deception, Though I just create several weapons that are all enchanted with a different skill boost anyway to switch them in and out as another set of handseals.

>>3958619

I'd argue Officer has a more flourishing meta. Infinity only has one build where you don't intentionally shoot yourself in the foot (the one where you're great at everything), Officer has three (pick two stats and dump the third, you can't be good at everything and all combinations are viable).

>>3958748
>hardcoded to limit you to 25
I just so happen to have a save with 26, so apparently that's not the case.

>>3958783
Malocchio supposedly adds 10 to the limit, so either the limit isn't there anymore, the limit isn't working or mallocchio is working as intended.
>Officer has three (pick two stats and dump the third, you can't be good at everything and all combinations are viable)
Only the case if you are playing into the Enders Game gimmick of playing as a kid. 18 year old start + either admiral's child or mining ship captain's child gives you enough stats to excel at every aspect short of some absurd 75+ checks.

What are you talking about. The so called optimal build in Sabers cannot clear one absurd soldiering check in the secret mission in guns. This means that it is not the best in all scenarios so there's no reason to call the game unbalanced and boring.

I can't for the life of me come up with character names but also usually hate all the default choices presented to me. I have one name I reuse for every playthrough for this reason and it's also the reason why I never play as female MCs - I can't name them

I just know that isobel killed wulfram’s family, on accident though
She probably wanted her glowies to kidnap and use them as leverage for negotiations, but the retards fucked up and accidentally burnt everything down instead

>>3959104
It was definitely not an accident

>>3959109
what would be the point of killing his family and pushing him to the edge?

>>3959132
People will say it was muh elves, but it was totally the Glowies. Isobel benefitted from it the most.

They just explained this stuff a couple scenes ago and I already can't remember what any of these do.

>>3959219
Just go by rule of cool and pick Kaito

>>3959219
ICL turning time back is way too cool and regeneration sounds badass but Kaito has so much aura I had to pick him since we aren't seeing any of these archon abilities in the calendar year ( probably not the next one either ! )

>>3959136
I just don’t see the benefits for her. I guess having the nobles under wulfram would give her the excuse to centralize power into the capital and the monarchy. the main downside now is that she’s essentially the tian emperor’s bitch

>>3959132
Same reason they did it to Khoroborit. To incite him to do something rash so they can arrest him. If you'd remember, the royalist faction was pretty much fucked after the king died.

As a fantasy enjoyer primarily, I kind of get it. Real life has a lot of boring elements that SoL skips over. SoL is kind of like life on speed, which can be based and fun if well written. I usually find it doesn't have enough drama or misery porn for me to enjoy though

How are you supposed to get 3 beasts in the stallion trial?

Do I need to run Jade Dragon if I want the Jade Beauty achievement?

>>3959312
Oni Woman with Jade, yes

Since people are talking about AC, is crafting useful yet?

>>3959323
When I played the update improving your weapon was bugged and you couldn't improve them more than once and it cucked me in a fight where my weapon was fkd

>>3959323
for akakiru yeah

>>3959324
Well shit. Guess I'll wait until the next update before I make a character with crafting.

>>3959217
I do agree with this especially at the beginning but I still like it overall.

which game has the best male ROs?

>>3959323
The hell are you talking about? It was always a good skill. I always take at least 2 points before leaving for the trials.
>>3959303
It's pretty easy if you focus on catching the beasts. And if you have Steelthread Alliance on your side, one of them will appear just before the last part of the trial to gift you a horse if you are under 3.
Exact choices depend on your route but in my last run, I was able to get 3 beasts thanks to Steelthread and also execute the scorpion beast for its treasure.

>>3959345
I guess someone would want most skill to have a good payoff at ranks 4-5, be it immediately or with a crucial stat check. Or perhaps handseals/alchemy should be toend down

>>3959350
>I guess someone would want most skill to have a good payoff at ranks 4-5
I take 2 points of craft because I can easily increase it to 3 at will, and multiple checks want just that number, but with some gear or techniques I can raise it further to 4 or 5 if I need it.
On multiple occasions, craft can let you bypass another check that you could fail, and at multiple instances, it lets you make some decent money. It's a good skill, the only thing that needs to be corrected is for it to generate more guard points for armor. I don't think it works as intended as of now.

Started playing Aura Clash yesterday when I finally saw an ad on my phone that wasn't some gay pedo tranny discord groomer shit, and I'm enjoying it so far. I girlfriended the beggar girl but then fucked the priestess and then went back and fucked the beggar some more in the woods. I don't feel bad because I'm possessed by saikyo or however the chi is cycled, and I'm trying to be honorable and ruthless but I keep becoming too gentle, probably because I chose Aoyusumu
Chosen element ice and I picked up fire earlier during the whole farmlands debacle
I'm about to suck up a thundercloud the day before the tournament thing, beforehand I've managed to get my aura pressure up to 650 and my cores are at 4/3/2/5, not sure if that's good. I neglected most of my skills in favor of persuasion early on so it's at 6, but just now during the year of training I did manage to get handseals up to 3 (with the one that can boost it +1) so cycling got cheap enough with the passive handseal that makes it cheaper that I went ahead and converted my silver to shards and just dumped shards into cycling so I could get more cores. I got the weighted suit too and have been using it throughout, including fucking my beggar girlfriend kek.
Other than that I taught her and the twins the buffing secret technique that I also studied so they're a bit stronger if I need them in the future, I have one underling from the farm mission. I managed to get all of my basic abilities to at least one point except deception and thievery because I'm a Justicechad, so hopefully I stop failing easy checks and losing bits of aura pressure.
Don't know what else to say about the journey so far other than that Crusher Jack son heemed me in the first fight since I was putting everything into Persuasion, I have a merchant family/childhood, and I handled the second Crusher Jack encounter by jumping off the cliff and then throwing him off the cliff after absorbing the gate or whatever.

For some reason women really love writing your mc as an angsty fag with daddy issues. I mean you ITFO.

It's fine. You're not going to be able to do everything, but you'll get through the game fine. You'll see people with AP in thousands, but they're exploiting alchemy/racial bonuses.

>>3959419
Aura Clash is a rather forgiving game, unlike most in the genre. You won't spiral easily into a failure cascade. Rather than crunching numbers on your first playthrough, just go with the flow and have fun.

Good enough. I was thinking about trying to scrape through early game and merchantmaxx to late power scale, but for a while the options to actually make money seemed limited except for whatever the merchant dad did, so I decided to just cycle it up. Probably should have converted my six gold coins too but I couldn't help thinking they might be able to buy different things in the "real world" later on. I also absorbed the book that blood gay was using, but didn't lean into the human sacrifice at all, so I might have handicapped myself a bit by not either destroying it for good guy points, or trading it for profits, or getting the full use out of it and going full emo mode.
Also eating all the shards I could even after getting a foundation seemed like the play early on based on the few cultivation manga I read (martial peak/that one I always forget the name of where you are a prince with a spirit mother and reincarnate into the corpse of the peasant boy you fought with and then go be a spirit stone mining slave for a whole arc in a mountain mine with a yeti and so on)

try playing these games! and i would love to hear your guy's opinions on these books ;)

>>3959435
It's not that you just don't have cores. You don't have chi at all. Meaning you can't power handseals or do alchemy without proper tools.
Atleast that's supposed to be the logic here, it kinda falls apart because you do use handseals like the one Leona gives you to instantly change clothes, or the one that lets you store equipment without trouble.

why are we talking about books

>>3959449
Even as a mortal you have 4 basic mortal cores. After your core shatters, even these don't work anymore.

>>3959452
Game specifically says your mortal cores still work tho

>>3959450
I think reading is fun personally, I jumped to webnovels after seeing that all the IF's I care about are neverr EVER getting finished

>>3959440
Honestly, I find the game more fun without that kind of minmaxing. There's some actual challenge with mortal limits. This isn't an infinity game where if you're not playing optimally you feel like a useless loser.

>>3959455
Why not read actual novels? Webnovels are all slop.

>>3959458
Because I kinda like slop, atleast in moderation. Reading actual books that require thinking is great as well but its not really the same experience what so ever

>>3959456
I considered mortal limits but I wanted to throw around spirit magic and absorb more stuff during my first playthrough

It's alright and the game isn't particularly difficult, but you could push it way higher. I usually end chapter 3 with about 1200 - 1300 AP by getting the most out of cycling.
But since you remember to actually use cycling, I doubt you'll have many problems down the line or on repeat playthroughs.

I think I messed up a bit by not focusing on physical abilities and handseals more in the very early game. Luckily I picked up some benefits by reading all of the library stuff and buying weighted clothing, making some good aura bestowing dialogue choices, etc, etc

Because guys like to beat the dragon and rescue the princess. Romancing the princess is 5 to 10% of the content, everything else is an adventure and fight.
Women and faggoths who think like women can't empathise with that sentiment, they only want feefees and sex because they are soulless.

Not in Aura Clash but many of the choicescript games set you up for failure if you spread too thinly and the difficulty curve takes over you so you end up failing constantly. It was one of the criticisms we discussed years ago and I suspect anon took it to heart when designing his game.

Because the audience they've cultivated is made up entirely of faggots and femoids. Rare few actual games being made with choicescript do not end up on Heart's Choice.

cause female writers dummy. male on male action is much more appealing to them

I had an idea for a sort of cultivation webcomic I wanted to make back years ago, but instead of cultivation it would actually fuse a lot of other pan-eastern mysticism influences and energy systems that you can sort of discover, specialize in, and get synergies between like you get synergies within different styles and techniques of actual cultivation
I was going to use it to practice drawing but I'm better at writing and I think it's better as a written story maybe with some AI scenery and character art anyways like soul clash has
But on the other hand it was going to be part cultivation parody, part general anime culture parody, and the other half just mindlessly indulging my specific fetish over and over to the point that also becomes parody
But I don't know where I can freely host something with nsfw elements, even if they were confined to text only
Or if anyone would even have any interest in it, I mean I'd be making it mostly for my own amusement but I have absolutely no money to spare to host my own site for something like that (because I have spent it all on spirit medicines naturally)
And I worry that the depth, breadth and detail of my fusion magic systems and worldbuilding and descriptive paragraphs might clash with everything being a joke and the constant erotic content under various pretenses, for potential players
