ACT Abandoned Ryona [Inui] Hounds of the Blade

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Nice, keep up the good work.

Re: Hounds of the Blade

I'm optimistic and grateful that people are even doing things like that at all, really (translations, guides, etc).

I gotta say, I'm really excited to see this game's progress. And Inui's experience in making these projects is evidently growing, becoming more inventive in a lot of ways, I think. Nanocrisis and HOTB are perhaps my favorite H games that I've ever played. Plus, you know... can't really complain about a free game demo.

Oh yeah, and there is that Mendes fight that I keep purposely losing to...

honestly this is my favorite H game too, behind vosmug's xenotake and splatter beach/splatter school.

it's a perfect mix of aggressiveness and...not too aggressiveness....if you know what i mean. like, splatter beach takes it kinda far out there, and xenotake is kinda like "oh no, there's an alien in my vagina"...not aggressive enough for me

sorry for the rant....i have no friends to talk to

why did i say that on a public forum

someone ban me

Re: Hounds of the Blade

These are the current enemies and areas in the game. Areas marked with an asterisk are one-time-only, so save accordingly.

Coblio gang (prologue*, Coblio hideout)
Tester (Fio's simulation)
Rats (sewer)
Bats (sewer)
Ziga [the zombie-like people] (sewer)
Flies/maggots (garbage mountain)
Fly hunters (garbage mountain)
Lizards/baby lizards (desert)
Goboliy [midgets] (desert)
Mendes gang (Goto's Dojo*)
Roaches (tunnel)
Orcs (forest)
Entelodon [pigs] (forest)
Assar (slum alley*)


All of the enemies have game over scenes, but there are several conditional, additional scenes as well.

Fio - Lose to Testers and agree to her conditions
Bar bathroom - lose to Mendes and don't resist
Alley rapist - Leave tunnel (with roaches) in a weakened state.
slum vagrant - Lose to Assar and don't resist
Slum kids 1 - get raped by vagrant 3 times and don't stand up
slum kids 2- same as above one more time

What was the slum kids 2 scene? Any more than the bottle and fatty?

Re: Hounds of the Blade

fatty had his turn with aya in the second scene

You and me both.

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Whenever I loose to mendes in Goto's dojo, I get stuck in an endless spitorasting loop; is the bar bathroom scene something else entirely or is my version bugging out?

Are you sure it is endless? For some reason that scene just lasts for fucking ever and it repeats many times.

When they double-team her, players will finally get the option to give up allowing the scene to progress. Unfortunately Mendes will do her about 5-6 times before his son joins in and there's no way to speed up the animation.

Once that's done, the bar toilet scene should be doable.

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Would be great if there's groping scene instead of having sex straight up.
Boobs bouncin but no touchin.

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Ok, so I can't even start it. Neither workaround in the OP has changed anything, and all i get after the blue/orange loading bar is a black window with this in an error box plastered over it:

Although bear in mind that this is after telling it to ignore the error several times to see what popped up. Changed the folder it was in out of being Read-Only as well to no avail. The english translation patch is installed but the voice pack isn't.

Please advise.

 

[Harleyquin13]

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Try without the English patch and see if the game runs.

Normally when the game is first installed it's slow to start up. The error messages indicate a problem reading the files so you'll need to double-check your folder settings.

 

[Lenn]

Re: Hounds of the Blade

That's a negative, and for whatever reason the main folder and sub folders keep reverting to Read-Only so i can't actually say whether or not that's the issue. The .dll from the OP is in my system32 folder, to boot, so there shouldn't be any issues, but here I am.

 

[Harleyquin13]

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Solve this and you'll be able to run the game. The error message you quoted is more or less a direct result of the above.

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Holy shit, I know I've been gone for a while, but I've missed so much. I think I stopped taking updates right before the roaches.

I'm afraid he won't be able to, since every folder is marked as Read-Only by (some? most?) Windows, but that doesn't mean that files inside are Read-Only or that it will cause problems.

 

[Lenn]

Re: Hounds of the Blade

Easier said than done. According to the minimal research i did windows is basically saying "lolno" because the folder has a full block in the Read-Only checklist. And no amount of permissions wrangling i've tried has been able to circumvent it or force the program boot sequence to actually progress.

So i've literally no idea what's preventing it from reading it's own files.

Re: Hounds of the Blade

These are the current enemies and areas in the game. Areas marked with an asterisk are one-time-only, so save accordingly.

Coblio gang (prologue*, Coblio hideout)
Tester (Fio's simulation)
Rats (sewer)
Bats (sewer)
Ziga [the zombie-like people] (sewer)
Flies/maggots (garbage mountain)
Fly hunters (garbage mountain)
Lizards/baby lizards (desert)
Goboliy [midgets] (desert)
Mendes gang (Goto's Dojo*)
Roaches (tunnel)
Orcs (forest)
Entelodon [pigs] (forest)
Assar (slum alley*)


All of the enemies have game over scenes, but there are several conditional, additional scenes as well.

Fio - Lose to Testers and agree to her conditions
Bar bathroom - lose to Mendes and don't resist
Alley rapist - Leave tunnel (with roaches) in a weakened state.
slum vagrant - Lose to Assar and don't resist
Slum kids 1 - get raped by vagrant 3 times and don't stand up
slum kids 2- same as above one more time

Questions regarding the above:

1. When do the Fly-hunters show up?
2. When do the goblins in the desert show up?
3. Is the tunnel the same as the sewer? Answer: It isn't. Found the trigger.
4. I have completely forgotten how to access the Coblio hideout. Who do I talk to in order to access it as a location? Answer: Need to get Gotou his Sake before he's willing to play bodyguard. After that it's easy to get to the hideout.
5. Is there no end to the cockroach horde?! I'm supposed to hack enough of them up to stop them from reproducing but I can kill tens and thousands of credits worth of them and still no scene takes place. Is this as far as the new version goes?

No kidding, when I get a break I am going to have to get the latest version of this. Amazing how good this was back when it originally came out and doubly impressive that it still is being developed after all this time!

fly hunters and gobbies are random alternate versions of their respective stages (you do have to clear them at least once). Pretty much if you enter those stages and see flies/lizards, leave (back to the ship) and come back until you get the alt version.

5. Is there no end to the cockroach horde?! I'm supposed to hack enough of them up to stop them from reproducing but I can kill tens and thousands of credits worth of them and still no scene takes place. Is this as far as the new version goes?

Tunnel is an endless stage at the moment, basically just for farming.

Can't get the alley rapist to trigger. I've tried leaving the stage with wounds and heavily wounded but it still won't fire. What am I missing?
