There was already a discussion on the Echo thread for this VN, but since it's a completely different project I thought it deserved its own thread. Here's the description and download links:

Adastra Public Build 0.1

WIN: http://www.mediafire.com/file/3w6mu9ccvo9tznd/Adastra-0.1-win.zip/file

MAC: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ts44h27819sxkhi/Adastra-0.1-mac.zip/file

Android: http://www.mediafire.com/file/p7wvat5jljdiwm2/Adastra-0.1-release.apk/file

So here it is! The first build of a new visual novel that I've been working on in between Echo updates. It's a single-route (for now), romantic, sci-fi adventure with some political intrigue mixed in. Tell me what you think!

The wonderful sprite art is done by Haps. You can find him on twitter @GotSomeHaps

The also wonderful background art is done by BlackSun. You can find her under the name BlackSunDi on Furaffinity.

Jesus Christ, that wolf is so fucking cute. Played the demo already, got hooked. I hope it actually goes somewhere, not like fucking Echo or - God-forbid - Blackgate

So this was originally a side project from Howly, project lead (I guess) of Echo:
>>1380195

If you're curious how this is gonna be handled for now, here are some comments by Howly on Patreon:

"Thanks! Hoping for a January or February release of the next demo!"
"It will become a main project alongside 1915 once I'm finished writing on Echo, probably around the spring of next year."
"You can support us through this Patreon! The funds go towards developing three visual novels; Echo, Adastra, and the upcoming Echo prequel 1915. Adastra and 1915 will become the main focus at the start of next year once I finish writing for Echo."

I'm also looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I agree that it's really cute so far.

Wow, someone read my mind, or at least my last post and beat me to the punch. Thanks regardless, this does deserve its own thread

Like I said before I really liked it...no...I LOVE IT! Having this story play out my oldest dream and imagination of seeing the galaxy, meeting other people from new species, and erm ehem falling for my would be kidnapper...*blush*...this novel really strikes all my favorite stuff. Minus the pet part, I'd rather be a colonist, but hey you get a chance like this ya surely can't be picky LoL

And to be honest I've got no issues with the current sprite and I don't say that very often

>>1529585
Too cute LoL I'm definitely going to look into supporting it and scrap together what I can to do so

Oh god fucking dammit I hope this VN develops into something good like >>1529577 said and not just hook us up with an intriguing world, characters and story and never finish it.

The sprite work is beautiful and the backgrounds are ok, however Amicus room is... jarringly normal? I dunno, it seems like just a human hotel room with no visual relationship to the scifi-roman-wolf setting there is to the story.

Also the music is good but I hope they find and put in some roman music with lutes and lyres.

Honestly hooked me right in from the start. Not just the wolf sprite being insanely cute and hot but the fantasy sci fi setting is just right!

I mean when i played tennis ace, i'd feel horrible about myself. The game would just remind me that kids younger than me are world wide famous sports players and that i'm a loser to compared to them. This game though, well i can't exactly be jealous of the mc because it's not like aliens were even detected lol.

So the bit of detachment for reality does wonders for my mental health, instead of giving me existential dread and a guilt trip like tennis ace.

My only fear is that he introduces a bunch of ugly (to me) characters or that he changes the sprites because an artist changed and i completely stop liking the game at all (extracuricural activities).

So i'd just want to tell echo to RESERVE THE DAMN ART RIGHTS AND MAKE THE ARTIST DO ALL SPRITES FOR ONE CHARACTER BEFORE MAKING ANOTHER.

Then if the artist quits it won't be such a big deal. And make proper contracts, last i want is the game crumbling because the artist and the writer had a fight over profits or something else. But i'm not knowlegable on legal stuff..

Furrynomous 2018/12/20 11:47:25 No.1529639

I absolutely love this VN, especially when I as a person really hate shifting to another VN because I just get SO attached to their characters and just struggles to find another VN similar to it and or my interests. This VN suits me very much and I hope the Echo team really makes more attractive characters and more choices throughout the story. Fucking Amicus hot af.

Furrynomous 2018/12/20 14:38:05 No.1529656

again with the stock image of the game, but this time it's not coming from the sprite.
story's cool, wanna see more of the interactions of those two<3.the sprite is excellent and if cartoon is the stylistic choice @devteam picked from the beginning then okay let's go with that and forth.but the BG isn't really matching with the sprites, both the 'picture to blur edit' or the digital painted one.first noticed this the first time amicus entered our room.feels kinda unmatching.need to be more cartoony and cellshaded cause two different styles put together between the background and the sprites is really make it seem out of place.the coloring & shading is greyish and dull in contrast with the sprites that are full of vibrant colors. yeah i know they both were worked on by two different artist.i do like how the CG was drawn.the background drawn by Haps were already fitting and nice.but whatevs.i can go with that.this is not a problem that made me lose interest with the story.just a lil critic from me.

Yeah, kinda inevitable that once you show Amicus' nude sprite the rest of the conversation is going to be about his equipment. In other news, Haps did post some concept art for the game.

I'm really glad that Cassius filled out more in his final version. Also, really looking forward to seeing the guy on the far right.

iirc there's a part where they where Echo's version of Adastra has the starship crew fighting against naked alien slime babes or something, so I'm guessing that might be what they were referring to.

I don't think it'll be a part of the VN Adastra itself, though. From what I can tell Echo's Adastra is just a parody of Star Trek used to showcase that Daxton's kind of a geek, with no relation story-wise to the Adastra VN.

>>1545522
I wonder if their decision to work on all 3 games-Echo, Adastra, and the Echo prequel-at once with 1 patreon will help or hurt them getting supporters.

I tried a couple of Echo demos and just couldn't get into it-just not interested in the story, the characters, art style, any of it. So while I might have considered supporting Adastra, I don't really want to pledge if too much of their time will be spent on projects I don't care about.

Furrynomous 2019/01/30 19:26:38 No.1545649

>>1545646
My guess is they're trying to get more people to support them, flagging all their games under one support would usually rake in more. Unfortunately it also means their attention and capabilities are split 3 ways to Wednesday so things might start slowing down. Makes it to be more of a cash grab to milk it some more or a stall tactic because of issues...I hope its just them overreaching, they should really finish one project first

Furrynomous 2019/01/31 01:15:48 No.1545721

>>1545649

It has definitely worked for now. They've taken in like eighty new patrons this month. I think they should be okay though, judging by how it's planned. Howly is almost done writing Echo, so for now he's only doing two projects. Then when his writing for Echo is done and 1915 starts up, he'll have another writer to rely on, so that's three writers: McSkinny working on the remaining Echo routes while Howly and the other writer focus on Adastra and 1915. They put up a post saying they hope to put out a build for all three projects once a month.

I'm not sure what the better solution is, but I kind of like that they aren't opening two other Patreons for the two other projects, and also keeping the charge to once a month.

But I'm kind of the same as some other people here. Echo is probably the most feel-bad furry VN out there. It's nice to see Howly write something so much brighter and less grim.

Furrynomous 2019/01/31 12:18:31 No.1545974

Although im disappointed in the fact that adastra is getting 1 update a month. Kinda wish it had 2 days per monthly update. But I understand how much time it takes to be a writer and at the same time make the visual aspect coordinate with each other. So far the vn has really hooked me.

Yeah you're right about that, it definitely is working, I really hope it does. Others tend to fall short while multitasking multiple projects but at least this team knows more than a thing or two about time management. They definitely waited a good amount of time before starting Adastra, their current projects are in the final stages. Here's hoping cuz I really like Adastra so far with the models, the story, and the all around theme

Its really well done, a nice relaxing pace from all the horror lately, the team is also doing a good job with updates and keeping the public informed. Its really well done and it only leaves me wanting more when the screen goes black...the almost shower scene really got my heart racing LoL. I really love Amicus as a whole; great personality, clunky and fun, and his body build is just too cute, it too is a nice change from the norm...his artist is really talented

I was really wary about this because it screamed "basic dating VN" with the plot, but I finally got around to trying it and I absolutely love the attention to detail Howly put into it. Along with that, I really enjoy how "real" the interactions were. I shouldn't have expected less, I genuinely believe Echo is the best VN I've played to date afterall, but still.
Anyway, this sums up my thoughts so far.

Same here, my thinking isn't that people are too old, its just some are too young "impatient" so even things only a few days away or far off are too much...it all has to be immediately. "Its so close the wait is unbearable" or "How much longer do I have to wait"

I learned to just fill the time, its why there are other VN and video games or really anything that can occupy my time. People are impatient cuz they got nothing strong enough to fill that time, just find that one + thing that will keep you going

Is the "disease" that Amicus refers to albinism? Cassius is definitely albino, given what we've seen, and it's leading me to believe their mother is too.

Though, side note, not sure if this is worth changing but I think if they were albino Cassius's nose (and nipples) would be pink.

I know Howly sometimes posts on the Echo thread, so he may be aware of this one too, so I did a quick edit of Cassius with pink fleshy bits.

Just for developer consideration. Might not be worth the effort of recoloring every single sprite though.

It's a cute mental image nonetheless, Cassius not being a whiny bitch and being intimate with his "slave" instead.

So far Howly has kept every character decently likeable (in my opinion at least), so I believe Neferu is going to get the same treatment.
Actually I think Neferu is the real MVP yet considering he's brought the MC and Amicus a lot closer.

>>1572617
Maybe there was one in the very first patreon exclusive build, I believe that one had some unused sprites that were later removed from the public ones. But considering the story contains a lot of casual nudity, we might get to see it later on anyway.

I feel like that question you're asked during that black screen is by one of the Parents of the Wolves. Depending on your answer and what you do in the story, the Parents may return to the Wolves, and from there you can get a good ending (return to earth) or a perfect ending, where you marry/end up with Amicus and go back to Earth with him to uplift it properly.

I wonder *why* someone want a character like that...

Furrynomous 2019/04/10 23:28:49 No.1574634

It's funny because let's be honest, EVERYONE on this board would be absolutely FEARING for their lives if they were suddenly abducted by an alien, hot furry or not, because there's the unknown fear that you were just kidnapped and being taken to who knows where billions of light years from home with no escape and you don't know if you're being sent to be executed on the spot or eaten up or something.

I'd say MC is being pretty fair, after all Amicus did force MC to go with him after no explanation after he clearly didn't want to and said no. He pulled out that stun gun tazer shit on him and kidnapped him anyways and that was a dick move IMO.

I don't know if time is frozen or some sci-fi bullshit but now that he is gone, his family will know and the other students will know. With no communication MC has to worry about everyone who cares about him and he can't tell them he's okay and he wants to see them again. So of course he isn't gonna respect Amicus or think highly of him. It's a HUMAN thing and it makes the story real, it would be stupid as fuck if he was all giddy and happy or no angst involved and I wouldn't even mind if he was a total crying bitch about it (which tbh again, EVERYONE here would react like that) but him being a dick to Amicus is satisfying. Amicus better return him back to earth after all this.

To be fair even if MC wasn't on the same level of intelligence, Amicus' actions against him would still not be justified.
In fact, the end result would've made Amicus look like an even worse person if what he found on Earth was what he actually expected, since he just wanted to kidnap a sentient trophy after all.

I do love Amicus regardless, but you gotta understand MC if he's not always that cooperative. For someone stuck in an alien planet where he's expected to act like a dumb slave and without the certainty that he'll ever be able to go back home, he's adapted quite well.

Furrynomous 2019/04/11 04:07:25 No.1574681

I still have no time to play the new update but for what I play the old one I could said that Amicus is... what the word shall I use? Pure? Innocent? or Plain Stupid? And because of that I think Cassius isn't much a bad guy here.

I mean at first Cassius don't care about to become an emperor at all. But after an emperor die and Amicus will become a new emperor. That when Cassius said he want to become an emperor too. But even through he said that, he still help Amicus on the day he have to make a speak to their citizens (but Amicus is no where to be found because he go to Earth to kidnap MC). If Cassius really want to be an emperor. He would make a speak himself. So I think Cassius want to make Amicus to Grow up and ready to take a responsible for become an emperor. Well... Amicus are too pup to listen to what he said so Cassius have to challenge him to make Amicus grow.
That what I think.

As someone who really didn't like Echo, I find myself getting drawn into Adastra's story and characters. It's great so far and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) seeing it finished.

On an unrelated note, I noticed something odd in the 0.3 release art showing a teaser of that sexy jackal. I just can't help it means something, because it shows a jackal bowing down to a human with symbols on top and another on the bottom shows Amicus bowing down to some guy who strangely is chipped off from the stone. And these two both have symbols that must mean something? Does anybody have an explanation? Because I can't let this go ðŸ˜‚

I thought so too, but it could be something else entirely, Howly and the team have great writers, who could easily make this not the case when itâ€™s the only thing that can make sense, but due to the lack of context of the Parents in general, We have no proper introduction to the parents as like characters. I guess we will have to speculate until then. Sigh damn you Howly and your intriguing stories!

In the latest update, the MC mentions that Neferu has been kissing his hand after the MC did it once when they were introduced. I would assume the upper picture depicts that.
As for the lower picture, I'm not really sure either. We haven't met any scalie/dragon characters yet, so I can also only guess that that's probably the wolves' parents considering Amicus is kneeling before them.

So, this VN is on a really good track, it's such a contrast compared to echo, i do wonder when we are gonna get the driving point of the plot, so far it seems we have only been playing the introduction of the game, not that that is a bad thing, but i do wonder about what we are gonna get moving forward, and which characters are gonna be available as routes. I think neferu and amicus are a sure bet now, i cant see Cassius being a route, then again howly is know for giving amazing character development through a story, as for Cato, the mask was really weird, i just couldn't imagine what he would look like under it, now that i have seen how he looks i look forward to what we may get from him.

In-game time the characters are 3 days away from starting the trials, so i guess theres gonna be far more content than just getting Amicus or... Cassius? As emperors, i wish i could ask howly how is he gonna deal with one route probably spoiling the others, in Echo this was no issue since "reality" was different depending on who you chose to spend time with, this doesn't seem to be the case in Adastra though.

Anyway loving the vn so far, and Haps as the artist is just right, his art fits in perfectly with the way the story is told.

Ps: Neferu is best boi. Fite me.

Yes "fearing" but MC isn't nor was he ever really scared for his life. Amicus made it abundantly clear he was no harm to him, at least not in the ways you point out, so much so that MC started acting like a jerk and shouting with demands

I'll give and admit that Amicus didn't make the best choices but no just no there was no fear after a couple scenes on the ship. It was all pretty fucked up but constantly being a dick wasn't necessary. There's blame on both sides and I will easily point most of them at Amicus as he's...what's the word...shortminded, unprepared, stupid LoL

Mistakes were made and after they are made nothing can be done to undo them, IRL as well, but you can do better to make the best of the situation. What you don't want to do is royally fuck up and turn the only person who would take you home against you by not assisting/cooperating. That's why I say after reconciling on the ship that should have been the end of the bratty behavior, they BOTH agreed to work together, and why I'm more on Amicus's side

PS: I would so go anyway LoL

Oh wait Romans fed people to lions as punishment didn't they...hm...blink anyway, maybe you'll confuse it long enough I can get a good laugh

You need to realize how things changed after they made the deal, if they didn't and things continued in the points you stated then yes be a dick I'll join you. But that's no longer the situation MC is in anymore. Put yourself in Amicus's situation, you fucked up that bad and feared, you don't think it through, and things turn out different than you expected...how would you respond? Now add in MC being a constant dick after agreeing to help you, after you turned honest and promised the same, how long would you suffer someone like that?

I get that this is just a fantasy and that you're really thirsty for Amicus. trying to defend his actions, but no, his actions were never good and the MC has the right to be pissed all he wants.

Amacus had no reason to get a pet, he was never forced to Amicus just did it because his brother had one. He ripped MC from his home by force, lied to him when MC said he didn't want to be part of Amicus' plan to be his pet and tied up (very badly) the MC out of desperation. Things went over smoothy when the MC agreed to help Amicus because the MC was force to agree since he had no other option to return home. It doesn't matter if romans fed people to lion or killed the, the MC never asked to be taked away, never asked for that culture to be forced upon him and be away from his family. So he can be ask bitch ass pissed all he want, but then it wouldn't be a fun game anymore.

Iâ€™m curious to see what other cultures may be integrated into the story. So far we know that we have Egypt and Rome which makes sense considering their historical involvements on earth(WAR LOL). This gets me thinking though. Could Earth have a history of multiple failed uplifts not just from the wolves but from the jackals (cant remember their name at the time of writing) and many other races? And that the human cultures scattered across Earth may be the by-product off all the failed uplifts? I donâ€™t know food for thought?

Thirsty, no, but I'm a good bit more open and both sides thinker than most. I guess that's the best thing about a VN where you can enter your own name, you take in the way you would, from your perspective. We all have our ways, you as MC have all the right to kick his big fuzzy ass into the next star system, where I as the MC have the choice to be fair in my own way. We can all agree for our own sake not to let Cassius become emperor no matter how we feel about the big dummy for taking us LoL

This is why VN need choices, so we can each experience our own story, through these sort of decisions. Would've been great to decide whether to go with him at our place or do as we did and kick him LoL

that pic makes me actually intersted in cassius. If they made him just a bit thicker like that and cured him of his bone disease he'd be a hottie.

Maybe they can make it canon by putting a time skip to where he's more buff. But i know it probably won't happen.

As someone who tends to prefer thicker guys, I want Cassius to remain a cute curvy twink.

He's already a hottie, so just cure him of his disease and he'd make the perfect hole, and a good love interest if he eventually stops being a bitch.

He doesn't seem to be an "irredeemable antagonist" just yet, so here's hoping.

Even if this site is known for piracy it doesn't FUCKING conclude the fact that the creators STILL need support.

The fact that you have the audacity to even shit on the development team like that is so fucking typical it's somehow like you've shit on the protagonist for being bland as hell and you didn't even look at a fucking mirror for your whole life.

I guess people are kinda getting the wrong idea here, yes, this is a site made for piracy and yes the level of hypocresy some people display regarding piracy is mind blowing.

That is not to say that i support piracy for Adastra or most of anything that comes out of Howly's team, why?, simply. Their content is not paywalled or at least 90% of it, not being able to wait some measly weeks for the update is nothing beyond childish.

You guys know what is also childish?, the level of entitlement some people have in regards to supporting a project and belitling of piracy, yes if you didn't know some people can't actually afford 3$ or even 1$, this is the internet, you don't know who the person in the other side of the screen is or what life they may carry. Sometimes its not even for the money, me for example, i would love to support Howly, sadly, laws in my country prohibit me from participating in online transaction with a foreigner entity (such as patreon or howly) so sites like u18chan are a blessing to me, so please stop being so insensitive and neophyte with something as iffy as money on the internet. Also please don't disrespect howly and his team, the community could use more people like him, nowadays the furry comunity is plagued with content creators that have not even made a name for themselves when they clompletely paywall most of their content, nowadays people are exploiting the "thirsty" side of the community, those who pay literal hundreds of dollar for something as insignificant as a 200kb image of a barely competent art quality.

Tldr: do Howly and adastra good and be patient and also dont hypocrite jerks in terms to piracy, you are on a site for piracy, have seen pirated content and enjoyed it so drop the criticism.

That being said, I'd pay at least $10 to get an early access to the newest updates in this case (same with other VNs like Tennis Ace) but I don't have a cc, and that's the only way to pay in patreon. You could maybe link a fake cc to paypal to pay with that, or so I've heard, but I have no idea how that works, or if it actually works.

Anyway, this is getting a bit too meta, so back to husbandos... I hope we get some Alexios fanservice soon. It'd also make me happy to know he's a traitor like some people seem to imply, it's an entertaining character trope imo.

Currently as I see it Amicus is not suited to be an Emperor just yet. He really needs somebody to help him stay in focus. If you played the latest patreon release then you may understand what I am talking about.
Eventually though with the hope of MC Amicus will become a good emperor.

She has what it takes and knows what's important

Furrynomous 2019/04/30 03:46:23 No.1583026

To be honest, I don't think we know enough about Amicus to be able to say whether or not he'd be a good emperor. We barely get to learn much about him, for as endearing as he is (and he very much is, when he's around us), and while we can understand his side of politics and can infer that Virginia does agree with his spoken views, it's hard to judge how well he'd lead his people when we don't even know his people.

For me, once we've gotten a chance to meet his people, I'll be able to think about it more.

In the meantime, can we talk about how the MC and Amicus, are likely the only two people in the palace who aren't fucking?
Except for, maybe, Cato.

I actually hope we will see more of Cato in the future updates.
If he would get his own route in the future it may be interesting.
But as for Amicus I feel really bad for him in that regard. IT's not like he doesn't want to have sex its just that he was so lonely with his preferences hidden from everybody else so long he has a complex over it. I wonder why did he never visit some sort of male prostitutes in the city? Was he afraid that his secret won't be contained and that would prevent him from becoming an Emperor?

So, so we know that both the jackals and the wolves attempted to uplift humanity at some point in Egypt and Rome, respectively, and either failed or left for unknown reasons, and all information about Earth besides its location was lost or erased from the Nexus. We know that uplift was not even necessary, as humanity is shown to be equal to the Sibling races in terms of intelligence, and it is implied that humanity may even surpass the wolves in some regards (such as CGI technology that the MC thought about while watching wolven TV). Humanity is also shown to be innovative with our technology compared to the Siblings, who are shown to be almost entirely reliant on technology provided by the Parents. Humanity has begun exploring space with no outside help aside from the failed uplifts thousands of years ago, which Amicus said is practically unheard of. At this point, I am going to guess that humanity is a lost Sibling race, maybe even a Parent race. I am expecting this to go full Halo once the story starts focusing on the human/Earth mystery.

>>1587287
No. It hasn't been explicitly mentioned yet, but it is pretty obvious. When the MC first meets Neferu, the game makes a point to make him think about how Neferu reminds him of an entire culture on Earth. Considering that we know that Roman civilization was created by the wolves, it makes sense that Egyptian civilization was created by the Khemians. Also, now that I think on it, the cats might have tried to uplift as well. Alexios is a Greek name, and it was mentioned that the cats and wolves are similar because they had the same Parent. In real life, Greek and Roman culture were very similar as well. It is entirely possible that each major human culture is the result of an uplift that was abandoned for unknown reasons. Otherwise, these obvious parallels with Earth cultures make no sense.

What do you mean by "true nature"? Are you talking about mankind's predisposition to violent behavior? If so, let me remind you that one of the races that tried to uplift humanity literally enslaves Child races and stunts their intelligence. The wolves have no moral standing here. If anything, they would probably love how modern humanity turned out. Western civilization remains essentially Roman in its laws, values, and customs to this day, especially in the United States.

Unrelated, I noticed that this was posted on e621. I wonder if it is canon.

I just played through this VN for the first time and I have to say it was awesome all the way through. I really don't mind the lack of choice because the story itself is pretty great. I appreciate how the MC challenges Amicus on how is society is kinda built on almost-slavery and it's nice to see that there are other "siblings" who don't run their shit that way.

Amicus is like the "almost-politically-correct redneck" in a way. Good intentions and just needs to follow through via life experience

Overall I thought it was pretty great. It was really immersive and such a wild unique premise! Haha! All aliens are Romans! And the worldbuilding too, with small population planets... it's all so cool! this is a great project!

Feels like that just might be canon, or relatively close seeing 0.5. The two feel like they've gone beyond normal friend dynamic, especially if Alex told Neferu about the MC when he didn't tell Cassius.
As a side note, for some reason I imagine Cassius as a major brocon hungry for Amicus dicc, and he pretends to dislike him. Honestly that impression gave out after several builds but that would explain why he keeps sneaking into Amicus's room.

Should this story happen to have a "main antagonist" I have a few thoughts on who they might be:

1. Cassius - though we get a bitter first impression of him, as the story progresses we begin to learn how physically and emotionally fragile he is. He's still an asshole, but from the way things are going I think he's going to have a redemption arc pretty soon and hopefully become an ally of sorts. Not the main antag.

2. Neferu - the bath scene definitely makes him seem untrustworthy and up to something, but then it would be too predictable if he ends up being the bad guy. Not the main antag.

3. Virginia - not a lot of info about her yet, but Alex mentioned that she'd make the best leader out of the three siblings. She could definitely be scheming up something but I trust her...for now.

4. Cato - he doesn't seem like someone who'd be a bad guy -- just an old man who wants to get this emperor thing over with. But he still has an aura of mystery around him that you can't ignore.

5. Alex - my most likely candidate for main antag. Besides Amicus, he's the guy we've come to trust the most... which, ironically, makes me trust him the least. Adastra's description on Howly's patreon even reads "In this climate of turncoats and backstabbers, you start to wonder if the alien that abducted you is the one person you can trust the most." I'm all in for the theory that Alex is the one pulling the strings under the guise of a cute cat-slave.

Badass art of past-Cato here. Also interesting to note the dragon on the hilt. As this isn't the first time we have seen dragon symbolism, I am guessing that the Parents, or at least the Parent race that uplifted the cats and wolves, are dragons. I wonder what implications this has for the human/Earth mystery, as dragons are part of the mythology of virtually every human culture.

I can accept a little bit if you're a gay furry and a gay furry space alien abducts you but being so willing to go along with everything the brainlet says and be an actual slave is a bit much
why can't I choose to do anything other than cling to the bara, why can't I speak to the anubis, why can the MC never say no to anything? It's all written as if it's supposed to be acceptable to the reader and it's really a little disgusting, reading about casual slavery
also, earth can't support 7 billion people dude it's well known that the current population level and growth is unsustainable

A cursory glance at the definition and components of Stockholm syndrome will show that this is indeed not a case of that. You are not an actual slave, Amicus states several times that you do not have to do anything he says, only that it will help to play a role. The story is linear, sure, but the MC is clearly not okay with the situation, nor does he find it acceptable. Also, pretty sure it is pointed out that 7 billion is indeed too many people. Not sure what your issue is here.

That's the point, even though the MC says he's not okay with it, the second he sees his furry husband he calms down and is a good housemaid again. The way that Amicus just straight up lies about almost everything Spoiler isn't just transparent, it's spelled out to the MC several times and he just sort of goes with it. Even if it is that Amicus is just VERY stupid, the MC is still in the dark regarding most of the master/slave stuff , both on a local ie. sex, beatings, and on a larger level ie. exactly how well other races are treated (which is clearly badly). It's just that if the MC is saying to himself that he knows it's all fucked and that he needs to gtfo before he's strung up or given the raep, he doesn't actually do anything, just waits for Amicus to save him. The anubis is the most obvious, but even just trying to learn about the culture of the aliens through reading or interrogating the grapecat would make it seem rather less like he's just believed that his fate is out of his hands.

So, MC decides to rescue himself. He doesn't know where the docks are, doesn't know if any of the ships are capable of interplanetary flight currently (the one he came here on definitely isn't, if you'll recall), doesn't know how to operate them anyway, and is about as capable of defending himself against these people as a baby is against a large dog. What about that situation makes you think MC can do anything BUT play along with Amicus, even if the hope of getting sent home is false?

Trying to find out how any of the technology works or just how to control it, looking at a map, snooping around. The MC says he spends most days doing absolutely nothing, just lazing around. "I can't save myself" isn't the same as "I'll let the furry do all the work", is all.

The MC clearly states that he asked COM about wolven culture and history during the three-week timeskip. The issue here is that he has 10,000+ years of spacefaring history and culture that he has to parse through, and that is just for the wolves. Also, I would be extremely careful if I was in his position. He is supposed to be playing the part of a barely-sapient primate. How suspicious do you think it would be if this supposedly neanderthalish pet started probing around the nexus?

The MC's passiveness is a different issue than the ones listed above, but if we're talking about that, I would personally try to stay out of their business as much as possible as well. As for Amicus, I think he sees you as this alien ape, and that's something that will take time for him to get over, to see you as an equal. I guess what I'm saying is that there's a lot left in the story, so we'll have to see as it moves forward.

Furrynomous 2019/05/13 23:36:47 No.1588770

So what is the deal with those visions that the MC has? It's clearly either the Monitors or the Parents, but I would probably bet on the Parents. They seem interested in the MC's beliefs regarding death, and his opinion regarding Amicus' ability to be a good emperor. Doesn't seem like lines of questioning that a Monitor would favor. Either way, it would seem that the Parents are aware that Amicus fucked the Prime Directive. Despite this, he hasn't been arrested by space police, and I bet this is because the MC is a human. I really want to see where this goes.

As stated, MC did get about to learning about the wolves' culture and history. But how does that help him escape? It teaches him about how their culture and society work. Unless they're masters of spacefaring technology willing to share all they know (note: they're not; the Khemians are the race closest to that), then that information doesn't help him defend himself if he gets in trouble or navigate a ship to get him back home even if one was capable of it.

When reading this vn i read something that got me thinking the mc thought there were multiple uplifting attempts on earth based on Roman and Egyptian influences maybe the uplifts were for the animals aka the jackals and wolves from earth cause like the mc thought in one instance he didn't think the wolves were smart enough to make the technology

Furrynomous 2019/05/14 02:29:02 No.1588829

>>1588799
Naw, the timeline doesn't fit. The Jackals tried to uplift Egypt around 3000 BC at the earliest. Cats probably tried to uplift Greece around 1200 BC. Wolves are the only one where we can pin down an exact date; April 21st, 753 BC is the traditional date for the founding of Rome. Considering that the Wolves have an emperor, they would have had to stick around until at least 27 BC, which was when Augustus became the first Roman emperor, although it wasn't until the reign of Caligula in 41 AD that the title Imperator was exclusively used as a title for the reigning monarch. These dates conflict with Amicus' statement that the Wolves have been spacefaring for 10,000+ years, so around 8000 BC at the latest.

I am sticking with my theory that humans are a lost Sibling or Parent race.

I bet he is going to lose to some unforeseen, out-of-his-control bullshit in the second or third trial and that is when we will see that sprite.

Not that he won't be justified in his anger, but still, its gonna be awful to watch such a scene play out. It's either that, or Cassius makes good on his threat and sentences the MC to death to torment Amicus.

It is interesting to note, however, that there are multiple variants of this crying sprite, like him being naked or in his underwear while crying.

Yeah, I don't see Alex remaining friendly for long. Does he ever say why he decides to allow Cassius to make him his pet? Why would a Sibling willingly put themselves into a position like that, especially an ambassador? Like Neferu, he would have likely been well taken care of regardless because of his diplomatic status, so it's not like he would have to worry about becoming destitute while waiting a decade for the next ship. Becoming Cassius' pet makes little sense unless he is using that position to manipulate the challenger with the best chances to win, who happens to be advocating policies that have a history of weakening the empire. And while Alex is playing 4D chess with the government, the only person who is even mildly suspicious of him is the MC.

Personally, from the latest update I think Amicus actions towards Cassius would have consequences. I bet Cato will come in and say something like due to your violent behaviour towards another emperor candidate there will be a fee for the next challenge so instead of participating in rhetoric contest yourself instead of Amicus it should be his pet.
Then it may come to two possible escalations.
First - MC actually goes over there, stop pretending to be dumb and annihilate Cassius' points in rhetoric because humans advanced far more in regards to social liberties and Mc is also someone who should be somewhat well aware of this stuff since he was some sort of student from the field that should know more about this. So MC wins, but then suddenly everyone realize he is far more smart than he was playing out to be. And that will lead to further problems.
Second possible variant - MC wins over Cassius again, but this time Amicus would said that his pet is not the smartest but has a very good memory, so he trained him to spit out tons of text and also change the answer depending on Cassius' arguments.

Still don't really see how he could have intervened without revealing his intelligence, unless he jumped in front of Cassius while yelling "No hurt brother" in his caveman speech or something. And even if that was the case, I doubt Cassius' opinion of the MC would improve at all. Cassius views all races besides the Siblings as so far beneath him that they might as well be ants. He would probably just quip to Amicus that his pet has more sense than him and smugly withdraw.

It's entirely possible that, if Alex is going to be revealed to be an antagonist, that his race is intending a hostile takeover of theirs. Think about it, Cassius becomes emperor, Alex kills him during an acceptance speech or whatever, and declares war on them.
The parents may also have purposefully lost contact with them because they're on Alex's side.

It's possible that the cats left Alex behind in purpose so he can befriend Cassius, get him elected, then persuade him to implement policies that would weaken the wolves to make way for the cats to invade (e.g. demilitarization). It's also possible that Alex is doing this on his own free will so he can secretly rule Adastra like a puppet master. I'm not buying the "i woke up late and missed the ship qwq" bs

I don't think the Parents want the cats to take over. The goal of the Siblings is to uplift life in the galaxy, right? It is essentially their religion, to become like the Parents. The wolves don't exactly do that, since they make the Child races just intelligent enough to serve them, and then they enslave them. The father and grandfather of Amicus and Cassius spent their reigns gradually changing this, and now Cassius threatens to undo potentially centuries worth of reforms by challenging Amicus' rightful claim to the throne. The Parents are probably watching to see if the wolves make the right choice, and now, for whatever reason, the MC is central to this (further complicating the mystery surrounding Earth and humanity). I see no other reason why the MC would start having visions, specifically ones asking him pointed questions about Amicus' ability to lead his people.

It actually might be simple, why, because they couldn't share. Think about it, if multiple species under that parent all wanted to uplift what might have been a race with great potential, and instead of singling one out the parent offered everyone each their own country on earth, maybe they couldn't. We know our own history, where foreign empires/kingdoms/etc didn't get along and wanted to conquer the other, maybe that's for a reason. Since the species couldn't share the parent ordered everyone to leave and abandon the earth entirely but of course we learned from history and uplifted ourselves

There are two major problems with your theory. The first is that these partially uplifted civilizations are separated by centuries, even millennia in some cases.

See
>>1588829

Yes, the Romans did end up assimilating Greece, but the Egyptian civilization that the Romans conquered was far removed from the original one that the Jackals uplifted. These uplift attempts must have happened at different times in Earth's history, there is no way that they all happened simultaneously. This leads to the second issue with your theory. Each Sibling race independently tried to uplift Earth, yet each one discovered something that made them abandon Earth entirely. Amicus said on the ship that abandoned races are never completely cut off. Yet for some reason, not only has all information regarding the uplift attempts been lost from Earth's historical narrative (outside of maybe religions and founding myths, see the She-Wolf in the founding myth of Rome), but it appears to have been deliberately erased from the records of the Siblings as well. The wolven records only give Earth's location and information stating that it is home to a species of Level 5 intelligence. This is a clear lie, as the key word there is "intelligence"; it says nothing about technological capability. Biologically modern humans first appeared in the fossil record 200,000 years ago, and behaviorally modern humans around 30,000 years ago. When the siblings tried to uplift, they would have found a species far beyond Level 5 in terms of raw intelligence. All of this leads to the central question; what did each of them discover on Earth that made them alter historical records just to cover it up?

Right. Because it had to have been sooo painful for him to fuck neferu. He sure looked real uncomfortable cumming his brains out in his ass while the MC watched in horror. If this was really a situation of concern for the MC he would've discussed it with him long before even considering it, let alone sending him away to do chores while he and neferu fucked in secret. Sure the MC might not have been happy about it if that really was the only way he would make the deal, but if it was the only way home I doubt he would've cared as much.

Has Amicus been sleeping with Neferu for a while or was this the first time, we don't know the agreement but Amicus did not have any objections he went with it without taking the MC's feelings into account.

Sleeping with Neferu is not a good excuse to forgive him, "I just slept with him to save you" is not noble or a kind gesture, he didn't save MC, Amicus just gave his pet to Neferu if he doesn't become emperor meaning Neferu can keep the MC without taking him home since he will no longer be Amicus' pet.

damn boh, i'm experiencing what i would call as 'furry blues' again.you know when you strongly longed for an impossible relationship with someone, since it's not just any someone, rather it's with an anthropomorphic character caused after a certain thing you just went through.this ain't lust, that's for sure.you just can't jack it to erase this feeling out of you.
this happens when you read a love story from something that has furries in it and just got to the strong point of the romance.you became jealous of the MC of the story and want to put yourself in his position (whatever rough circumstance he is experiencing).because the only thing you want most in your life is to have a big, tough, handsome, kind, furry guy who is madly in love with you to have a deep passionate kiss with you and will take care of you and wants/lets you do the same with him.well this is coming from a single virgin though.comparing this to my real life problems, this is actually something ridiculous to deal with if i think about it.

Well, at least it's clear now that Amicus actually does love the MC; he seemed pretty genuine on the island and after the MC caught him with Neferu. It was definitely fucked up for him to go behind the MC like that, but I personally don't think he would have fucked Neferu if it wasn't the only way to ensure that the MC is safe in the event that he fails the trial. I am holding out hope for a happy ending with the MC and Amicus together. I just hope this doesn't become consistently depressing like Echo.

Can't really be mad at Neferu, Amicus did agree to it and had sex with him, instead of trying to find a different solution he just took the easier one that would also benefit himself.

Neferu may be flirtatious but he doesn't force others to do what he wants, Neferu just gives them what they already wanted in the first place Amicus did have the hots for him, so all anger is on Amicus.

Might be why Cassius would hate him so much, because he knows Amicus just likes to use others to get what he wants while playing innocent, but it's all just a lie.

>>1594636
Well, what other choice was there? The MC says that Cassius is one trial away from absolute power. No one would be able to stop him from executing the MC if he wanted to, except for maybe the monitors or the parents since it is implied by the dreams that they knew about the MC from the beginning. The Jackals are the only ones who might not be reliant on the parents for stretch tech, so that was Amicus' best bet for ensuring that the MC was not only safe in the event of his failure, but also giving the MC a chance at getting home. It is just unfortunate that the only person he could work out a deal with was the thirsty son of the Pharaoh.

It is still a fucked up mess he created, but I can kinda see it from his point of view.

Given Amicus' rash decision making I'm pretty sure he didn't think it all the way through and just went with the easy option. Amicus is known to be cocky thinking everything will turn out okay as long as he says so while not telling everything to MC until the last minute. Amicus doesn't think things through he just acts, we have the whole pet situation, the racist costume in the first trial, when the lingua didn't translate for the MC. All of these situations had preventable outcomes, but because Amicus though he knew what he was doing it didn't go through well.
Who knows what other options they could have had, what if the MC asked Neferu for help and explained the situation, what if Amicus actually put effort into the trials instead of thinking everything will go in his favor and stops underestimating Cassius. Let's also not forget how much the MC enables Amicus, it drives me nuts, he states good points and ideas just to be brushed off by Amicus and the MC is fine with it, makes me want to pull my hair out.

Also he is just exchanging ownership of the pet, said Neferu might be able to take him home since they have a stretch drive, but that doesn't seem to be in the agreement, the agreement is for the MC to be kept safe by transferring ownership to Neferun in case Amicus doesn't become emperor, Neferu might just keep MC as a pet and not return him home.

Well, Neferu seems to have a sort of moral compass. He gave Amicus shit for being possessive of the MC, and pointed out his species history of slavery and whatnot. He also respected the MC's aversion to physical contact. I don't think that Neferu is an antagonist here, and the point still stands that he was Amicus' safest option for the MC. As for your other points, yeah, Amicus really doesn't think this shit through but at least it is clear that it isn't out of malice or a disregard for the MC. And the MC does kind of enable him somewhat, but he has no agency in this story. He is just along for the ride and there isn't much, if anything, that he can do to affect the situation that he is in.

See, you mentioning Neferu's moral compass is why I don't trust that sex was the only option Amicus had to keep the MC safe, I feel that Amicus took that option because he did have the hots for Neferu, he did show interest in the bath scene when getting hard while touching Neferu. So I don't entirely believe it when Amicus says sex was the only option Neferu gave him for someone with a moral compass that knows how bad slavery is.

Well, Amicus just had a boner during that scene. Neferu was very clearly trying to get some wolf dick. It isn't much of a stretch to assume that is the only thing Neferu would accept in the deal. He is the son of a Pharaoh, so money or something similar would mean nothing to him. And as someone pointed out earlier, Amicus clearly looked angry with Neferu as they were fucking, swiping away Neferu's more intimate gestures.

Like, just because he has the capability to recognize that slavery is bad doesn't mean Neferu would turn down the opportunity to get fucked by someone he clearly had the hots for.

Furrynomous 2019/05/28 05:14:47 No.1594731

I honestly don't know how to feel about this, MC's pain was understandable for sure, but him forgiving Amicus so easily after what he did? Ehh... not so much.
With Amicus not telling MC anything about that "transaction" prior to it, it's definitely proven that Amicus doesnt think about the consequences of his actions, I mean the abduction was already proof enough, of how harmful Amicus' actions and lack of forethought can be, but he just doesn't grow up and he keeps hurting MC by repeating the same mistakes, so there's not much of a reason to forgive him easily or trust him overall, other than his friendly demeanor.

I hope that we'll eventually have the option to side with a different character to some extent, even if it's in the distant future, because while I still find Amicus cute and charming, at this point I wouldn't mind seeing him turn into some sort of antagonist if it'll make the story better overall, because other than him, it's not like Adastra is lacking in cuties.

That being said, I still wanna know what Alex's game is.

I don't think that the distance in the title is meant to be taken literally. I will be supremely disappointed if there isn't an ending where the MC and Amicus stay together. Best possible ending I can think of has Virginia becoming Empress with Amicus going to Earth with the MC to serve as a sort of ambassador.

Worst possible ending would be them parting ways forever with Earth remaining isolated from the galactic community while Amicus is prosecuted for breaking the Prime Directive, or the Parents giving Amicus the same ultimatum that they gave the Emperor from the story in the dance; save the life of the one he loves, or return FTL capability to his people.

I played most of this last night and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. I know it's only a side project, but it's so well done and the characters are so interesting that it really should be its own thing. I really want to see more, including options to go after other characters and explore the other societies that make up the Galaxias. This really deserves to be a project on the scale of Echo.

****

Alex's motivations are a mystery to me. He seems nice enough, and I personally find him attractive, but he knows a lot more than he lets on. Considering how intimate Cassius was with him during the dance, and that we know the two are fucking, I think Cassius is probably in love with him. I think the image of Alex jacking him off is probably canon then. I think Alex isn't too interested in him, though. I get the impression he's only stringing him along, and that his real love interest is Neferu. I wouldn't be suprised if they are already fucking, or if they have a history together. That Alex speaks to him about the MC's intelligence and other sensative matters says a lot about their relationship. The way Neferu treated Alex during the scene int he garden also said a lot. I think the image of them fucking is probably canon. In hindsight, I shouldn't have named my own character Alex, because it led to some confusion and awkward dialogue (Neferu literally said "Hello Alex and Alex). Maybe Alex should comment if you have a similar name to him, or the dialogue should change a bit to compensate? It might also be a suggestion to lock out certain names for the MC. Calling your character Alex or Alexander works because there are a lot of variations of the name, but calling your character Cassius or the name of another major character should probably shouldn't be allowed. It would be interesting, though, that if the game has routes for the various characters, that if you attempt to name your character after one, it adds a point in their favour, which would presumably determine which character you end up with, or what ending you get. I also wonder about using the term "Romanus" (Which literally means "Romans"). The way the word is used suggests it refers to a group rather than an individual. If that is the case, it works. If the Romanus is an individual, however, Romulus or Quirinius may work better. There's honestly a lot in Roman mythology that the game could draw on for this.

I also wanted to say that I appreciate the research that has gone into this. Is Howly a student of ancient history? I'm a third year student of Greek and Roman Civilisation, and what I've read suggests Howly is to some degree antiquated with the subject. Considering how much Echo and its prequel focus on history, and how Chase wanted to study it, I'd reckon he studies history in some form. Given that Chase was forbidden from studying history due to its apparent uselessness and the MC's parents consider him studying Greek and Roman Civilisation a waste of time (Something that is far from the truth, particularly if your intention is to work in Europe), it suggests Howly was possibly made aware of the apparent uselessness of history-based subjects (Which I must reiterate is largely untrue) during his own time in college. While it's true that certain subjects can be hard to make a career out of (I was warned off studying philosophy by philosophy students), and that history isn't exactly a science-based subject that is in demand (Like petroleum engineering or whatever), there are still opportunities for employment, particularly in Europe. My own plan is to get a job in a university or the civil service that involves both parts of my degree. Archaeology is a big field where I live, and even though my country was never part of the Roman Empire, it was still influenced by it, and classics is an old, well established field that still carriers a lot of prestige.

Damn, that cliffhanger. I don't know how to feel about what happened. On one hand, the MC and Amicus clearly like each other, so it could be considered a betrayal, but on the other, they have only known each other three weeks, and with the possibility the MC may be returning home soon, it's not like they were going to get very far in a potential relationship. There are so many things that could go wrong even if the MC decided to stay that they may not get very far anyway.

Considering how advanced politically, economically, socially, and in some ways technologically (Only the Khemians have the knowledge to build a stretch drive and we have a potentially sound model for the development of a warp drive despite only playing with space travel), not to mention our massive population compared to those of the Galaxies powers, humanity could be a real contender for galactic superpower. It seems to me that the Siblings reliance on the Parents and their technology has stunted their growth. That Earth has managed much better without the Parents suggests their methods of uplifting are shite.

From Howly's patreon:

>Adastra build 0.6 will be released to the public on June 1st

>-after receiving a lot of feedback (more than I ever have before for a single build), I've decided to rework the end of this build, along with extending the story into the second trial, so check it out if you've only played the build for patrons.

Lord be praised, looks like Howly overheard everyone's feedback (*coughbitchingcough*) and might rewrite what just happened and adding more onto the story for the coming update

Holy shit, Howly is the real MVP though, actually extends the free update for non-patrons who are patient enough to wait

Patience truly is a virtue

Yo that's wild. I wonder what he plans on changing though, as I have see people both for and against what happened. I don't think that doing a complete 180 regarding the MC's reaction would be a good change, personally. Good on him though, a lot of other people would have just told patreons to go fuck themselves.

>>1595144
I wanna see how advanced the Siblings are militarily. I'm gonna guess that that is one department in which they are behind humanity if that past-Cato image is anything to go by, implying that they don't even have anything resembling gunpowder or projectile weaponry, at least regarding the wolves. We know that they have laser tech, but that is likely Parental tech and not in widespread use. If so, the Siblings would be absolutely BTFO in a ground engagement with a human army. Like, the total population of the various human militaries almost matches the population of the entire wolf species.

I belive that the first bad ending is when Amicus lost the second trial. MC must help Amicus to win.

I'm surprised people make such a big deal out of this. If anything, it felt too insignificant. It didn't add much to the story other than porn. Unless Amicus doesn't become emperor and mc becomes Neferu's pet, which I doubt will happen (although it would be a great way to split the story into different routes). As for the mc being spineless, really? I'm more annoyed by Amicus being apologetic all the time, especially for someone in his position.

I wouldn't say it's excessive, sure there are some people that are downright blowing things out of proportioms with the whining but in patreon, most negatuve comments come from a handful of people, people are more vocal here, but what it seems to me is that the general consensus is that this update was heavy on the feels department and what almost everyone agrees is that people don't like the MC's reaction and getting ober it super fast specifically. I think thats what howly is most likely going to change.

I don't think Neferu is playing the bad guy in here, he probably did not even know that Mc has feelings for Amicus and he only arranged things for his benefit.

Then again i may be biased towards Neferu since i still think he is best husbando.

Also people are starting to get frustrated with the lack of agency in this vn there are like 3 o 4 choices across 6 updates and only 2 of them seem important and they dont really change any dialogue what so ever, Mc feels like he is literally painted on the walls as the story unfolds itself, hell i don't think i'm the only who thought this vn was gonna have characters routes, not that Amicus is a bad husbando but to this point i think he will be the only actual husbando in the game.

I would say people calling Neferu a rapist in the dis cord server excessive. Also people can't seem to make up their mind if the MC is too aggressive or too passive. Howly should know he can't please everyone and just write the damn thing how he wants.

Also, it's been said many times that Howly is ONLY writing Amicus' route right now, and this might be the only route in this particular game. He has said in the past that if there are other routes they will be in a separate VN. He has also said that the decisions will mostly affect the ending, so anyone hoping for multiple branching storylines (effectively doubling, tripling, quadrupling dev time) you're shit out of luck.

So, my old save got corrupted somehow and I had to go through it again so I have a save for the next update. I decided to read through it again instead of just skipping and I noticed something at the dance practice part. Amicus said in the story that it takes place ten-thousand years ago. He also says that if Drusus let Meera die, then his empire would prosper for ten-thousand years. Lo and behold, their parent has mysteriously stopped guiding them and has gone silent after this time has passed.

Neither choice is bittersweet at all. It is Echo-levels of depressing and I hope that is something Howly is trying to avoid with this VN. I think it would be cool to have Amicus be presented with such a choice with the MC being able to choose to kill himself so Amicus doesn't doom his empire, but it would be nice to see such a scenario resolve itself in a happy way depending on the choices we make. That first one about death makes a lot of sense in this context.

For the Parents to force Drusus and potentially Amicus to choose between love or their empire suggests they aren't all that benevolent. It fits with their relation to the gods of Earth mythology, they loved stupid shit like that, but they have all of this advanced technology they are apparently just holding. They force the Siblings into a relationship of dependence on them for FTL and technology in general, to the point were they Siblings are no longer capable of innovation or research of their own, bar special cases like the Khemians and the stretch drive. They force them to keep their population within certain levels to prevent them from fucking up their worlds, but if they have them the technology needed to create true interstellar empires they wouldn't need to limit their growth. Look at how Earth has done without their meddling. We are more advanced politically, economically, socially, and in some ways technologically. The only things we lack are a unified government and true space travel. Our population, not to mention our armies, are so large that if we had true space travel we could dominate the Siblings. Maybe that is why we were abandoned. Perhaps the Parents seen what we were capable of and left us alone, hoping we would destroy ourselves, which IRL we still may do. Or perhaps it was an experiment to see how far a species could get without their influence. Perhaps they knew their methods were creating problems and wished to see what would happen if they did not intervene. If it comes down to it, maybe the wolves would be best isolated from the Parents. At least then they could develop naturally.

Well, at this point there is still so much we don't know regarding the Parents. For all we know, they could have been putting Drusus into an Abraham/Isaac situation, and Meera killed herself before they could reveal that it was just a test. All we know so far is that the MC describes whatever presence he feels in his dreams as benevolent and protective. Regarding Earth and humanity, I think that we are a lost sibling race. We already know that humanity shares a lot of symbolism with the Siblings. First is the dragon symbolism. I can only assume that the parents are dragons, and practically every culture on earth has some sort of dragon mythology, many predate the first known uplift attempt. Second is that odd eye symbol that is present amongst the siblings, which we see on Cato's shield in that promo art, the design of the grand hall, and also tattooed on Neferu's shoulder. It's a bit of a stretch, but it reminds me of the Eye of Providence, a famous Christian symbol present in a lot of art, and even on the back of the American dollar bill above the pyramid. Maybe Earth has it's own Parent that is much more hands-off. It would explain why the previous uplifts failed and why information about it was erased or falsified from both their nexus and the historical narrative on Earth.

Isn't the eye on Neferu more likely to be the Eye of Horus? The eye on Cato's shield may also be a reference to the evil eye, which in many cultures was thought to cause misfortune. That it faced whoever Cato was fighting is hardly a coincidence.

I'm guessing it's because we don't have a defined protagonist, like we got in Echo. We had a visual reference for who we're playing as. In Adastra it comes across like we're supposed to be ourselves, which doesn't work with the lack of control and choices. All they need to do is create a character we play as and let us see him and it'll be easier for people playing to not get so attached to the idea they don't have any control over the choices we make.

I know that Amicus called them "gods" because their technology makes them seem godlike in comparison to everyone else, but them remotely manipulating the trajectory of a pipe on a ship going over 1,000 light years per hour makes it seem like they might as well be gods in the literal sense as well.

With how everything in the VN was set out, There was so much potential for really meaningful choices (I know its supposed to be linear I'm just sayin'), Like whether your on Amicus or Cassius side or how you react to what either of them do in the story. I was really excited about the whole aspect of hiding how smart you are until the VN just ignores it. Like the MC acts dumb and then some characters find out he's much smarter than he's letting on but nobody is even suspicious of it... The battle between brothers could have a choice like if the MC tries to go with Cassius after he's mad at Amicus. These are just off the top of my head and probably ridiculous choices but out of all plots in a VN i've seen this gets me going the most.

I've been wondering about how Howly plans on reworking the "ending" of 0.6, other than stretching it out to reach the second trial. Maybe instead of Amicus catching up to the MC after getting caught with Neferu, Cato or Cassius reaches him first? While this was all going down, we know that Cato was discussing the rumors about disbanding the triumvirates with Cassius. Unless Cassius has been telling other people, the only two people present the only time he mentioned it were Virginia and the MC. I doubt they would suspect Virginia to leak those rumors, so it would make sense for them to accuse the MC. It would certainly be a twist to have him be imprisoned just before the second trial. Amicus would probably be stressed as fuck.

I was honestly fine with how the last version of 0.6 ended. That being said, I love how he reworked it. The MC is actually has a spine now, which is cool. And it's more clear that Amicus was being kinda selfish and inconsiderate when he made the deal with Neferu, even if he was truly doing it to protect the MC. Seeing Amicus so emotionally shattered after that fight was awful, even if he kept himself from crying (kinda makes me dread the moment we see that sprite, if this didn't make him cry, I can't imagine I will enjoy what will). I just wonder how this trial is going to go now. I feel that either Amicus is going to win off of the emotional high he got after making up with the MC combined with the Triumvirates not liking the idea that they might soon be out of a job, or Cassius is gonna pull a win out of his ass by accusing Amicus of breaking the Prime Directive now that he knows the MC isn't stupid, or by showing a recording of Amicus fucking Neferu. While that twist would be rather dramatic, I feel like Amicus needs to win just to maintain suspense for the third trial that Cassius supposedly has no chance at winning. Either way, it's nice that Howly confirmed that the Adastra builds won't end at 1.0, so we could be looking forward to these updates for a while.

After the last patrons's build I have stopped my patreon support for this project.
People over here say that many are overexaggerating but I think we have a right to be upset about it. Not everyone is into these kind of things and think they are hot. Especially if you were supporting this project from the very beginning and already emotionally involved in it.
In my opinion it was a little bit too much from a writing perspective. Yeah, I get it, we play a VN that should provide a lot of fan service to the thirsting crowds but I won't believe in something like "he wouldn't agree for anything other than that" path. It looked really offputing and rather lazy.

If they are teasing the parent this early, does that mean that we will see him next update? I guess that who gets the emperorship really will be resolved next time. So either Amicus wins and Cassius excuses himself from the the last trial immediately, or Cassius wins which makes the next trial unneeded. Amicus should win, if only because otherwise that little pep talk the MC gave him would look stupid in hindsight from a narrative perspective.

>>1597290
I really liked the rework by I kinda agree with you. Amicus seeing the MC cry, hugging him, and giving a heartfelt apology was a very emotional scene that really didn't have any analogue in this one.

Agreed. If anything, I believe that their relationship after this update is even stronger now than in that previous version. Before the rework, it even ends with the MC thinking that nothing was really resolved between them. In this one, there are still some issues, but they come out of them with a better understanding of each other. And the talk with Neferu was great. As much as I was okay with the previous version, I can't see how anyone could prefer it to the new one.

Furrynomous 2019/06/02 19:44:22 No.1597354

Tbh this update just left me really unsatisfied. I mean the feud between the MC and Amicus was very reasonable, especially for a brat like the MC. The conversation between the MC and Neferu also gave some insights to why the MC was in danger, which was not really explained in the patreon version, and also told us Amicus actually wanted to fuck Neferu as well, which we kind of know even from the patreon version.

We also know that having sex was casual in Adastra and even so Amicus had considered for a week before agreeing with the sex deal. If he didnt care about the MC he would have fucked Neferu right after he made the deal. The MC had a whole week to give Amicus the answer and establish relationship with him so that Amicus could feel trusted and possibly bring up the issue to the MC, but of course he was just so insecure to do that. Even so I think it is still acceptable because thats who he was.

In the patreon version at least he was finally showing his feelings for Amicus from the crying and kissing Amicus back. But in the reworked version, even after Neferu told him to claim Amicus, even after seeing Amicus crying and hearing him apologising for everything, he was still keeping everything to himself. He didn't apologize back for his harsh words. The hallway scene, which pissed me off the most, was the best opportunity for the MC to show forgiveness, support and affection to Amicus, which could really cheer him up. All these by just a simple kiss from the MC. But NO, all we got was a kiss from Amicus and it was on the cheek. At this point Im not even sure if the MC actually liked Amicus or not. Before the rework at least I could root for the MC but now?I think he just deserved to be cucked and I dont even know if its the right word since they were not even in a relationship. Also Amicus is just too precious for the MC. The MC did nothing besides giving him that pep talk and that was already enough to cheer him up. Its like picking the worst option and you still get a relationship boost in a dating sim.

In the end I still think the rework is good. It filled the plot holes, the reaction of the MC after the sex scene was more reasonable, and it also sticks to the MC's character. But like I said, it was just unsatisfying and now I feel less cringy watching that sex scene.

Were you even paying attention? When the MC was alone in the gardens after the argument, he states that the reason he feels betrayed was because he really, really likes Amicus. It is pretty much confirmed that he loves Amicus just as much as Amicus loves him, made even more obvious when Neferu straight-up told him that Amicus loves him. Even in the meditation room, the MC stated that it hurt him to see Amicus like he was. I do feel like the MC should have apologized as well as he even said that he only said some of those hurtful things because he wanted to hurt Amicus as much as he had been hurt, and the fact that there was just as much cultural misunderstanding going on with the MC as there was with Amicus, but to say that the MC might not like Amicus is ridiculous.

Agreed, not only did we get great characterization for both MC, standing up for himself in a realistic and not whiny way, and Amicus revealing his insecurities and being more emotionally vulnerable (I still wanna see a sprite of him crying tbh), but we also got to see a much more benevolent side to Neferu, that was only implied but not directly addressed before this reworked update, and I can definitely say that I like him much more as a character now, he's great.

Yeah, the Neferu stuff was great. His talk with the MC was a great and much-needed addition. Neferu essentially playing matchmaker between Amicus and the MC was neat, although I can't tell at the moment if it was out of genuine concern for their relationship, the thought that Amicus might lose if the MC didn't console him, or a combination of the two. Either way, I like Neferu a lot more after this update. This VN needs more likable characters, especially since Alex is both suspicious as fuck, and how the MC might get in trouble for spreading the rumors even though it was actually him that did it.

It is cool to see that Howly is so open to feedback, as this update proves. I can't wait to see where he takes this from here.

For those who haven't seen the patreon:

Hey guys! So after getting a lot of feedback on the patron build, I went back in and re-worked some stuff toward the end. There's a lot of intense emotions in this update, so it's understandable that things got a bit heated. I agreed with some of the issues people took with the update however, and tried to address some of that. Keep in mind that things are starting to get a bit more serious in the story, so do expect that the tone might be shifting a little (and no, not Echo-levels of tone shift - this is not a horror VN!).

This brings me to another topic that has been brought up quite a bit since the start of this VN: decisions. They're a hallmark of visual novels, and as you might have been able to tell with my work, including with Echo, I don't utilize them very often, mostly because I dislike meaningless decisions that don't affect the story much. I prefer going along for the ride, and only making choices when they matter (instead of stressing over ones that actually don't). Adastra, specifically the character Amicus, has a very linear story, and aside from the ending, it won't branch off much. If, however, you guys enjoy flavor text (with decisions that don't have a huge impact), I will take that into consideration in the future, maybe even do a poll on that.

As for the changes in this update, I might explain my reasons for them further on the Dis cord. Besides that, I really hope you guys can continue to enjoy the story despite the change in tone it might take. There are high stakes in this story, after all, no matter how much fun it is frolicking about with the son of an alien emperor.

Also, keep in mind that these build numbers are not working up to 10. The builds will go past that number, and there is no number set for the completion of this VN. The story will end on whichever build number it happens to be!

As always, this update features incredible new work from Haps, and I hope you consider supporting him on his own Patreon which you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/Haps

We also have a few new beautiful backgrounds from Blacksun, and you can find her work on FA under the name BlackSunDi.

There is a little more new content in this update compared to the patron build, so if you find any typos or errors, please do let us know either in the comments, or the Dis cord server! And let me once again say thank you for all the support. It's really has been an incredible ride over the past half year.

Take care, and I hope you all have a great start to your summer!

That Amicus waited a week before saying anything redeems him a lot, but at the same time, Neferu saying that he would have accepted nothing damns him. There is an obvious cultural difference, but Amicus saying that he has needs and that the he and the MC weren't officially dating damns him even more. To me, it looks like he just wanted to fuck Neferu regardless of the consequences. That, and the change to the MC's reactions so that he doesn't cry, got me a bit.

Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong about any of this. I'm very conflicted about the whole thing.

and he couldn't even give Amicus a kiss when he clearly needed it the most. Of course I know the MC liked Amicus. Did Amicus know it? I doubt it. Tbh all this time I was just waiting for the MC to be true to his feelings and confess it to Amicus so that I could get that wolfy boy porn. Poor Amicus, even after crying in front of the MC and apologizing for like hundred times he still couldn't get the love and affection that he deserved. Let's just say the MC is either insecure, unromantic or both.

Interesting design. I take it that meditating is essentially praying for them? The incense is a nice touch. Very... Graeco-Roman. The semi-nudity is also interesting. In Graeco-Roman culture, praying while semi-nude, and semi nudity in general, was associated with divinity. Roman kings were depicted semi-nude, generally barechested and barefoot, with idealised features, when sacrificing or otherwise acting in the role of Pontifex Maximus. Roman emperors were depicted in the same way to show off their power and their supposed divinity. The gods themselves were also depicted in a similar manner, which is why Jupiter is always semi-nude and as muscular as possible.

See the attached picture for an example of a Roman king sacrificing. He also has his head covered, which was traditional when preforming sacrifice. Amicus doesn't, although he isn't preforming a sacrifice. He is wearing a laurel wreath, though, which reminds us that, even though he may be a flawed, deeply emotional and insecure individual, he is still a prince, and his father's preferred heir at that.

He's also Jupiter depicted mostly nude, to better illustrate what I was saying earlier. There are some differences in how a god was depicted compared to a mortal, particularly the supreme god, but the comparison is useful. For one, he doesn't have his head covered, but then he isn't sacrificing, and he is a god, so he wouldn't anyway.

I think the MC still cries a bit, since Amicus rubs his thumb on the MC's face still, just not as much as the previous version. Regarding Amicus and Neferu, it would be fair to say that Amicus didn't know that Neferu would have accepted nothing. Neferu was only gonna offer that if Amicus didn't accept the offer of sex. I would also say that "damn" is a strong word, too strong for this situation. Yeah, he wanted the sex with Neferu, but I don't think this situation would have even happened if he didn't need to negotiate for the MC's safety. All that matters is that they made up in the end, I suppose.

The MC is trapped on an alien moon 50,000 light years from Earth with no clear way to return. I don't know about you, but I would be so stressed out that I would barely be able to function, let alone foster a relationship with an alien wolf prince of Space Rome. Like, I am not sure what you were expecting here. The MC told Amicus that there was a time and a place for that kinda shit, and thirty minutes before the second trial was not one of them. Amicus is probably fully aware that the MC loves him too, and I fully expect a hella romantic moment between them after this trial, but it would have felt out of place in the meditation room when they still need to talk stuff out.

I don't know why the MC wants to go home so much. It might just be me and my escapist fantasies (Other than my family there wouldn't be a lot to make me want to come back), but the world the MC now lives on has the kind of technology we can only dream about. The wolves lack technology in certain areas, like computers and psychics, and their social structure, politics, and concept of relationships is fucked, but at the same time, they can extent lifespans the lifespan of a humanoid into the hundreds, which implies not just the use of rejuvinats, but highly medicines that can keep a body functioning in good condition for that time. Their medicine isn't perfect, of course, as seen by Cassius' paper bones and the early death of the empress, but it's still very impressive. It makes you wonder why Amicus' father only decided to have children when he was in his 130's, or if the technology is available to everyone. I'm too shit at maths to do the numbers, but given the difference in the length of a day between Adastra and Earth, all ages have to be rounded down. Amicus' father was probably around 110 when he had children, and 125 or so when he died. Amicus himself is probably closer to the MC's age than 23. He might actually be a bit younger. The MC says he is twenty, IIRC, so Amicus is probably 18 or maybe 19 in Earth years. This means he had his first kiss and first attempt at sex (With the women his father set him up with) when he was, in Earth years, 14 or 15. He would have been 18 on Adastra, which seems to be the legal age, but younger on Earth. Given how young he actually is, we have to question how mature he actually is, and if he is suitable for absolute power. Cassius is in even a worse position as he is, in Earth years, probably younger than 18. Depending on how much older Amicus is than him, he could he be, in our years 17, 16, or even 15.

MC was kidnapped against his will. Then lied to by his captor, and only after physically subduing him did he get the "whoops I permanently kidnapped you" speech.

I mean I am normally one to not super care about sudden doe eyes for the big furry hunk, but Adastra does this well! And this is after the same writers made Blackgate, which follows kinda the same "kidnapped MC" story. Although here the MC actually remembers that they were kidnapped.

And I think the really careful writing in this chapter is part of an overall arc of "I would like very much to get home, and you would like very much to be emperor, but you owe it to me to treat me as a person because you kidnapped me."

And hopefully we can see MC contribute to helping Amicus actually do well in the next trial. (Although I guess rumor-spreading was kinda helping for trial 2?)

>this entire post
Jesus. I have escapist fantasies from time to time and even I can understand why the MC would want to return. He has friends and family on Earth. I would be pretty torn up if there was a good chance that I would never see them again if I was in his position. It would be even worse if I somehow fell in love like he did while all this was going on. If he stays, he never sees his family again. If he leaves, he will probably never see Amicus again. He is going to have to let go of something he loves no matter what he does, and I can't imagine that is a good feeling. It explains his reluctance to get into a relationship with Amicus, as saying goodbye would probably shatter both of them. Also, ages don't have to round down on Adastra. The Lingua automatically translates everything into units of measurements that the MC is familiar with, making Amicus 23 in Earth years. The only time they use both Adastran and Earth time measurements is when the MC is comparing how long he has been on Adastra to what the same amount of time would be on Earth. I don't know how you got the idea that you needed to round down for their ages, especially considering you don't know how long an Adastran year is. The MC describes Vita as brighter than the sun, which would probably make it a low tier F star or a higher tier G star, compared to our own star's G2 classification. If it is indeed an F-class star, Ancoris, and by extension, Adastra, would need to orbit farther out than Earth does for our star to stay in the habitable zone, making their years longer than our own. So yes, Amicus MAY be closer to 20 or 19, but only in Adastran years; he is certainly 23 in Earth years.

I would say the MC damned himself. Since having sex was so casual in Adastra, Amicus could have just fucked Neferu without considering the MC's feeling but it still took him a week to finally accept the deal. So at least we could tell sex drive was not the main reason that Amicus decided to fuck Neferu. It was still one of the reason, which was already hinted in the patreon version. Speaking of which, if the MC would have answered his feeling earlier and helped Amicus with his needs, this wouldnt be a problem at all. Neferu also explained the necessity of the deal as MC's life was in real danger and people started questioning his identity. So in the end Amicus was still doing this to protect the MC. The only problem with Amicus was he shouldve brought this up to the MC before making any decision. Yet again, if the MC had dated Amicus earlier, he wouldn't have been so confused with the relationship between them. He might have even been considerate enough to actually consult with the MC about the deal. You can argue this with me but after all the things that happened and we learnt about him, I just decide to trust him because he was such a sweetheart.

One thing that puzzles me is why the MC never asks why the wolves are so similar to Earth wolves, or why the siblings in general are based on Earth animals. Amicus says that all life develops in a similar manner, but I'm not sure. I think that the uplifts may not have been directed at humanity, but possibly at Earth animals instead. Think of why Earth is isolated, and why the uplifts failed despite our intelligence and potential. We were left alone because the parents knew we didn't need their help. Therefore, the various uplifts were targeted at Earth animals. Earth is special because it has so many species capable of being uplifted, and because many of them were. That is why life in the galaxy is similar, because it ultimately all came from Earth. The wolves were taken from Italy, the jackals from Egypt, the cats from Greece, and the tigers from India. That Earth cultures resemble sibling cultures is not a coincidence. The involvement of the parents in Earth affairs led to the spread of their cultures. And the parents, in turn, spread their cultures to the animals they uplifted. Though Earth does not know the full story, the parents involvement has not been forgotten entirely. They are remembered as the great gods and heroes of myth. I wouldn't be surprised if the parent of the felines is an avian named Achaea, Danaa, or Doria.

Actually the MC had already decided to confess his feelings before that sex scene happened. I understand the stress and stuff and they were all well established in the patreon version. Not remember if they have cut that out in the rework though. Also, did I say I want them to fuck in the meditation room?No. I just want him to apologize for his harsh words and kiss Amicus in the hallway and since he already decided to confess he should have no problem with that. I know the intimacy scene is coming soon and I have no problem waiting for another month or months. But just saying the patreon version did a better job paving the way to an actual relationship between those two and thats why I said the rework was unsatisfying.

You make a lot of good points. He's too much of a likeable guy to stay mad at, and the MC's hesitation obviously didn't help (That the MC was only going to think about the possibility of a relationship, and it was only going to be, as he puts it, an "innocent" fling, which probably wasn't to last very long, takes most of the blame off of Amicus). Even if Amicus loves the MC, the chance that he could just up and leave one day, means he cannot put too much weight on their relationship. Neferu was sent as the ambassador of a people who want to establish a long time alliance, which could allow the wolves to rekindle their past relationships with the siblings. It is absolutely vital that Amicus secures that alliance, as otherwise, his empire may be gradually isolated and destroyed. That Neferu has the hots for Amicus and is open to the idea of an alliance, means it is absolutely crucial that he do everything to please him. His people's future depends on it, so you can see why, even if he loves the MC, he would fuck Neferu. I don't endorse infidelity, but you can see why Amicus did what he did. That the wolves have a different attitude towards sex and Amicus desperately wanted to protect the MC only makes it clearer why it happened. That doesn't make it feel like any less of a betrayal, but you have to be able to look at things rationally.

The position of emperor could have developed naturally. It doesn't mean that the wolves had to be around until the Roman Empire. They probably had a king in the past who became an emperor later on, possibly as the military grew in power. A change in title from king to emperor (Imperator, which literally means "commander") implies the military became the source of power, rather than the gods or, in the event they had consuls or a dictator, the senate or people. The position may also have been imposed by their parent. That the Romans developed a similar position may just be coincidence, or the natural development of the system the "Romanus" created.

It'll be interesting to see how the other sibling's empires are organised. Are the cats organised into city states or independent worlds that are part of a league? We know the jackals have a pharaoh, but does the position have the same religious significance as it did in ancient Egypt? Is the pharaoh seen as a universal monarch as the Egyptian pharaoh (In theory, and largely according to the Egyptians) was? Is he an absolute monarch? That the position of emperor on Adastra is seen as more of a supreme general than a monarch is something the game makes clear on a number of occasions. This fits with how the position of emperor was seen during the Roman principate.

They would still have had to uplift the wolves 10,000+ year ago, long before Rome was even a concept on Earth. I don't think uplifting works like you think it does. Sure, wolves on Earth are certainly intelligent, but uplift worthy? I don't think so. There is probably a certain level of intelligence that they need to reach, such as showing the potential for culture, language, and tool use. I doubt the parents scoured the galaxy for life and just decided to uplift random fauna on Earth. The idea that literally all life came from Earth is rather absurd even when compared to the "common origins" explanation. It would mean that the parents seeded the children as well before they were uplifted, which kinda defeats the purpose, don't you think? The game's explanation is clearly just a standard sci-fi trope. There is most certainly a conspiracy surrounding Earth, but it being the origin of all galactic life is probably not it.

It while still be nice if the MC mentioned it. He does think at one point if he should slap Amicus on the nose like a dog, and Amicus seemed to be aware of the fact their are animals similar to the Siblings on Earth. The wolf statue in the palace court yard brings another question. If looks less cartoony and more animalistic than the actual wolves. It has digitigrate feet, for example, which none of the characters, wolves or otherwise, have themselves. Another question I have is, if there are birds and spiders on Adastra, and presumably other worlds, are there dogs, wolves, ect. Do the wolves or the Siblings look at them like we would look an ape?

In regards to Alex and his plan, I wonder if he meant to do well in the first trial but sabotage the second for Cassius just to force the combat trial, because something bullshitty like the MC and Alex having to fight instead of the bothers is what will actually happen. That the MC has no idea how to fight and Amicus has done essentially nothing to teach him how would look very bad on the potential supreme commander of the wolven military.

This picture is interesting mainly because of how despondent Cassius looks. Since the last image we got was of Amicus wearing a laurel wreath (a symbol that came to be associated with Roman Emperors and divinity, but also a symbol of victory) while meditating, perhaps these two images together are hints that Amicus will win the second trial? Having Amicus lose two trials in a row and thus the emperorship would be rather anticlimactic in my opinion.

I'd say that's close to what he actually looks like considering his default name is Marco and he's interested in ancient history. He's probably Italian-American or something similar.

Speaking of CGs, are we ever gonna see what the MC looks like? Better question, who the hell is the MC anyways? Do we ever get a physical descriptor of what he looks like? His name is Marco, is he a hispanic/latino?

Do the characters ever give any kind of comment on his appearance, like he's a college student so for all we know he's in his early 20's but are we playing as a tiny frail twink or a big fat bear?

I'd like to know at least something about him cause it just feels lazy and unmotivated if we are just playing as a blank slate robot.

I imagine he is of average build and height, and also in decent shape since he is a good swimmer. He probably has nice hair since Amicus and Neferu seemed fascinated by it, though that might just be because it is unusual for them. He is pretty much an average everyman outside of established physical and background facts. I assume he is American, as that is Howly's nationality I think. He definitely isn't an Italian national since he was there as part of a study abroad program.

The whole point of a visual novel protagonist is to serve as a projection of the IRL player. MC doesn't have a defined appearance so anyone who plays the VN can easily project themselves into the universe. It makes the experience more personal. If MC were to make an in-game appearance he'd probably look like any generic VN protag (brown/black hair, fair skin, average height and build etc.)

but it's not as free tho.MC does have his own ideas and personalities.and not to mention the default name.if we really want to label ourselves as the protagonist, we might choose a different approach for every scenarios the MC are in that howly come up with.with that, i can't really try to think myself as the guy who got kidnapped by the space wolf even after putting in my own name in at the beginning.MC is his own person, he really should have his own look.

still, if you want to come up with some originality behind the obscurity, just create your own character that is not yourself.like i did to the MC, i create a generic bara-shonen young guy with the anagram of my real name, kinda like liao with shorter hair.i do this to every unshown VN protagonist just to avoid wondering.
but of course try reading in details if somehow mc mentioned something like his place of birth or a brief reference of himself like "i brushed my black hair and put my blue eyes to rest".but since i can't recall something like that (who knows, maybe he did, but i just forgot about it.) i imagine how he look like by the way he act.he seemed emotional but in a rational way, and collected in times.and i gotta say he's quite a smart protagonist, don't know if this is influenced by his act-dumb bits.so i see him as slim/otter/skinny and average height guy.idk if he's wearing a glasses or not.

Exactly, this. This isn't a choose-your-own-adventure novel, which howly has gone on the record to say he personally dislikes those, so this isn't a self insert, it's an established character who has yet to be fleshed out more.

>>1600539
Anyways, I'm just gonna assume he looks like this and call it a day. It would be cool if the protag was Latino though since you dont see that often, is howly Latino himself?

Furrynomous 2019/06/11 19:42:30 No.1600917

>>1600886

I don't think he's Latino because the Spanish in Echo was literally translated through Google. An actual Spanish speaker later pointed out that a lot of it was wrong and a few sentences translated as something completely different than was intended. Even if he's second or third generation he'd probably be able to find a family member who could translate for him. The game's theme could have turned him off that idea though. I'm not well versed on Latino attitudes towards homosexuality, but I imagine the older generations don't look too favourable upon it. I imagine that Howly and most of the Echo Project devs are gay or bisexual given the focus on homosexuality and gay relationships in their games.

Route 65 (written by McSkinny) was the VN that had the completely wrong Spanish. Spanish in Echo was on point because Howly had Spanish-speaking friends he ran the sentences by first. Because of that, I do not think Howly himself speaks it.

Yes and no. No the game doesnt actually tell you why. But at the same time you can say yes as when you're asleep, the voice asks you a very refined question. can kinda piece it together from there.

>>1561513
The way i see it, this actually makes a LOT of sence if you think about it. and with the recent post by Haps it makes even more sence. The top part of the stone if you look closely you'll see the human is wearing the axact same collar Alex is. and Alex is the only person in the game to be actually shown wearing it. It can be interpret as ownership since Alex is cass's "pet". the kneeling jackel could be seen as respect neferu did say they see all as equal. since its not really explained you can say humans did uplift themselves and the jackels are kneeling as respect for a civilization that needed no help in becoming intelligent. now the bottom part can be seen as the wolves are communitcating with someoen (with new are from Haps we can NOW say it might be a "parent") but the way its arms are drawn you could say its not going well. But here is the REAL kicker. The stone tablet could be seen as a prediction. You got 4 characters on that tablet and all 4 we either met or talked to. the kneeling jackel (neferu) showing respect to the human (you (MC).) The kneeling wolf (amicus (he IS wearing pants and has a red cape).) The creature with its face chipped off (looks just like the recent pic by Haps (could be a "parent").) But if you look real close you can see that the jackel and human are on equal ground where as the wolf and unknown creature are not. The wolf looks to be "worshipping" it.

But hey thats what i think.

The hieroglyphs do actually mean something. This is the first time I've tried to translate anything, but the last two symbols translate as "my pharaoh." I'm not sure what the first two symbols mean, but the duck would have pounced "s" and the basket "nib." The duck was used when referring to children, but also had a bunch of other meanings. It is weird that it is first, because it was typically used second. The basket appears to have had multiple meanings, including "everything" and "lord."

The whole thing would have been pronounced "sa-nib-i-pir." As it stands, the whole thing would translate as "bird everything my pharaoh" or "bird master my pharaoh." That just seems like gibberish to me, though. Other possible translations are "fatten everything my pharaoh" or "fatten lord my pharaoh." I've seen the duck character translated before as "son" but I'm not sure if it's correct, because there was a proper word for son, and it was made up of three symbols.

If it is right, then it would translate as "son everything my pharaoh." That would imply that humans rule or may have ruled over the Siblings. Maybe that is why the uplifts failed? Because we dominated them? Or maybe they recognised our great potential and submitted to us. We have advanced on our own, afterall. The Siblings need the Parents help to do anything, and lack of a technology we possess. Another possible translation is "son everything I pharaoh." This may imply that Neferu fancies Marco and has designs on his father's throne, but again, I'm not too sure.

If these are meant to mean something, well done to whoever translated them. I've gotten the impression before that Howly or someone who works with the team studies classics, so maybe they can also read and write hieroglyphics. A skill like that isn't common, but it is something you can learn in a field like classics, assuming you have the aptitude for it.

I have to wonder if instead of "son", the symbol could be used to simply mean "child", in this case referring to a male child, Marco.
Perhaps the string could be interpreted as "child as my pharoh", maybe foreshadowing Neferu's deal with Amicus, in which Marco would be treated "like a pharoh". Or even something less literal, like comparing the child to royalty to exagerate the Khemians' sense of equality among sapients.

I don't see the "humans ruled over siblings" twist happening, since we know the siblings have history dating back over 10,000 years ago, and that they were already in contact with the parents at that time.

A lot of people here seems to like the new update. Guess I'm the only one here who's not feeling it. The whole thing that happened with the mc is something I really hate. Something really big happened to one or more character with no build-up (or at least some foreshadowing) whatsoever.
I've read so many stories that use this kind of twist that its become a little pet peeve of mine. It's probably just me but this feels a lot like the last update. Drama for the sake of drama.

I disagree, I feel like something like this was bound to happen. The entire time that the MC has been on Adastra, he has be in an isolated palace complex surrounded by people who probably receive the best healthcare on the moon. When he went into the city, he was thrown into an environment brimming with contagions that the human body has no natural defenses against. I was honestly expecting the MC to get seriously ill at some point, but the degree that he has been affected by this disease is rather horrifying and unexpected, I will admit. If you want to take issue with anything, take issue with the fact that no one even thought that the MC should be vaccinated, even after Alexios said that he was vaccinated himself. You call this "drama for the sake of drama", but I see it as the perfect introduction for the parent. Because of these events, it seems that he may have to directly intervene in order to ensure that the MC can complete his "task", whatever that may be.

This might be unrelated to anything, but does anyone else find it suspicious that Alexios just disappears right after they get to the city? I know that kid probably made the MC sick, but what if Alexios had something to do with it? Killing the MC would be a great way to cover his tracks, as the MC is the only person who would suspect him of being the one who actually told the triumvirates of Cassius' plan.

I do agree with alot of people here but i also disaree to. First it shoud be common knowledge that [if you go somewhere new like to a new planet there will always be the risk of a foreign contagen your going to get. but i can understand it was overlooked with all that was going on at first and just completely forgotten.] I seen a few people say it had to be alex that started the how cass is going to get rid of the triumvirates however virginia was also there and also said that she didnt like that idea. also there is neferu who seems to "just" know stuff out of nowhere.

now [it kinda was forshadowed that something was wrong when the MC started to talk about how his skin and joints started to hurt and chalked it up for not going anywhere for awhile. HOWEVER there are a few things to also look at with this update particularly near the middle. He is completely fine upto until he comes into contact with the sick looking child then talks about how his bones hurt and later his skin hurts. Cant rule out that this child gave him what ever she had and because he is an alien to them the illness acted faster.]

also id like to point out that [ is it me or does that starman look like a khemian and not >>1597234 are there going to be 2 starmen in our future?]

It was definitely 100% Alexios that started the rumor. The triumvirates probably wouldn't take Virginia seriously because she is a woman, and they most certainly would not trust Neferu (if he even knew beforehand) because he is a Khemian. Alexios was the only person the MC talked to about this, so it definitely had to be him. And what are you even talking about regarding the starman? He looked absolutely NOTHING like a Khemian. He clearly had scales and horns, just like in the picture that Haps teased us with.

Furrynomous 2019/07/03 16:26:42 No.1609214

I don't know. I guess I've read a lot of stories with a big twist in the middle that managed to surprise me but then I re-read it from the beginning and everything about that twist just clicks. I love that kind of storytelling so I guess I just have too high of a standard. This story just isn't for me it seems. This isn't even my only problem with the story. This update pretty much confirms the mc is really important to the plot but the way this is going, it feels like the plot is the one dragging the mc and not the other way around. The mc, as important as his role is in the story, just feels too...passive, i guess? I know it would be hard for him to do anything in his position but the story keep invoking a lot of things that is needed for a character based story using a nicely set up dynamic character arc without actually doing anything about it. The mc affects the story without doing much of anything. He's pretty much the center of the plot, but is still more like a passenger than the driver.

And I'm rambling again, aren't I?

Please, ignore what you just read.

Furrynomous 2019/07/03 16:27:22 No.1609215

I'm worried about how the MC is going to come back from this. Brain damage isn't something you can just readily fix. With the likes of demetia, memories are destroyed. Your core being just slips away. Even if the Parents can fix his body, he may never be the same. His personality may be permanently altered. His memories may be gone forever. I do like that the scenario has come up, though. One of the main issues I have with first contact scenarios in sci fi, aside from aliens speaking English (You can handwave this away with telepathy, but anything like a universal translator would probably be impossible. The only possible way you can do it is with a device that reads your thoughts and transmits them as the lignua does. It is, in effect, a telepathy machine) is the lack of attention paid to alien diseases and viruses. I imagine we would also be a danger to them. It would be like the native Americans and smallpox all over again, but potentially far worse. The only possible solution I can think off is nanites, which would probably be able to destroy foreign contagions and develop vaccines. One of the first things you should do in a first contact scenario is demand all information on contagions your alien counterparts possess. You should also demand all information relating to their biology, such as medical data and medicines. Contact should be limited until you have received and analysed all data.

Furrynomous 2019/07/03 17:31:11 No.1609236

>>1609215
Yeah, with the extent of his injuries, he would probably be suffering from devastating memory loss even if the parent manages to fix the body. He just wouldn't be the MC anymore. There might be some hope, however. Amicus stated earlier in the VN that upon death, their conciousness merges with the parent in what sounds a lot like a form of afterlife. Presumably this happens to every wolf regardless of manner of death. Amicus said he knew he would see his father again, despite the fact that his father died in a violent shuttle crash. If the parent can somehow preserve the full conscious identity of a person after death, even if the mind is destroyed, perhaps he has already preserved the MC? Maybe the immortal soul actually exists or something. Howly has hinted that we are not near the end of the story in a patreon post (notice how this build is 7 instead of 0.7?), so irreversibly destroying the MC's memories and personality with no hope of recovery wouldn't make much sense for the story. I'm hoping, anyway. I would really prefer that this story doesn't go full Echo in terms of bleakness and depression.

It's just like Howly to cripple the MC and leave us with a cliffhanger. That spider in the dream also caught my attention. It reminded me of when we used to talk about what was afflicting Echo and if it was something in the water.

I can't help but feel sorry for Cassius. He has some much wrong with him, and the first time he tries to have an intelligent conversation with the MC, he pukes all over him and collapses. He just can't seem to catch a break.

Naw, when he posts works in progress like that, it is for an upcoming in-game illustration. He did the same thing with the Amicus/Neferu sex scene

Something just occurred to me though. If the next update takes place in the MC's fucked up mind while everyone is trying to save him, there might be some surreal/horrifying shit going on, like with that spider or the horse dragging the headless wolf. Maybe the MC is hallucinating that Amicus is dead in that image? Last time Haps posted a WIP from a sex scene illustration, it was posted on his NSFW twitter, not his regular one.

I thought the same thing, but we really don't know how much the parents even know about humans. The wolves themselves know next to nothing, as the wolf physician couldn't even find a species profile when treating the MC despite the fact that humans were technically in the galactic record, albeit with practically no specific information on us or Earth. When the parent first contacts the MC, he seems almost fascinated by him, as if even HE knows little about humanity. He probably just means that he wasn't expecting such a severe reaction, or that he overestimated the strength of the human immune system. That disease did near-terminal damage to him in a matter of hours. Even real-life examples of people encountering diseases they have no resistance to are rarely that extreme. The MC has been on Adastra for a month without suffering any ill effects, so such an extreme reaction to a very mild wolven illness probably took him by surprise. We don't know if this is a disease they even bother vaccinating against, or what effect it has shown to have on the other siblings and children. Still, the MC should have been vaccinated regardless, but I can see how that might have been forgotten with everything they have been dealing with.

Also, the MC isn't in a different galaxy. He is 50,000 light years from Earth at the moment.

>>1609646
Well that is a disease that is exceptionally lethal regardless of resistances, as as mentioned before, such diseases with fast, lethal reactions like that are very rare. From Amicus' statement "It's just avia pox", avia pox sounds like a very mild, minor disease that should not be a problem. It seems like the MC's reaction to it is completely atypical and unexpected, and it's possible that even the other siblings or children don't react to it in the extreme way the MC did.

The most worrying aspect of this situation outside of the MC's impending death would be his ability to infect others. People who develop shingles as an adult after they suffered from chickenpox earlier in their life are capable of spreading chickenpox to others who are not immune. If there is a similar related condition for avia pox, then the MC cannot return to Earth without potentially putting it in danger.

No, they would probably have just vaccinated humanity, and it certainly isn't a reason to expunge the records and then falsify the remaining reports of human intelligence to make us seem barely sapient if someone happens to find the file by chance. Besides, wolves weren't the only species to attempt uplift on Earth. The jackals, the cats, and presumably the other siblings all tried as well, and each one of them abandoned their attempts and purged their own records to the extent that virtually no one knows about humanity at all. Whatever they found to cause them to go to such extreme lengths to ensure humanity is forgotten must be wild. I'm still holding on to the theory that humans are a lost sibling race with a parent that is much more hands-off. Now that the secret is out about the MC, I'm hoping that the plot starts addressing this mystery.

I do believe that they left human because how greedy and violent human can be. I mean when they first meet any new race. They start with Child -> Sibling -> Parent. For human it's start with Child. But human hate being lower race. I'm sure something like this happen. "We are human. We have freedom. We will do whatever we want. We will not live under some alien rule." And then protest -> murder alien. At that time they may thing human is dangerous race so they leave human alone and erase any record about human. Until now that Amicus kidnap MC and that may interest the Parent to think that now human ready themself and good enough to make contact again.

That is highly unlikely, since the different sibling uplifts happened independently and millennia apart. Humanity would have had to rebel against each of them separately. Not only that, but Amicus said that species that are too violent to be uplifted are still a part of the Galaxias network, just as abandoned children. Besides, saying humanity is too "violent" is rather ridiculous, as how humanity acted thousands of years ago is pretty similar to how wolves act now. Your theory also doesn't explain why the knowledge of alien civilizations has been erased or lost from human historical records, which is something that Amicus said almost never happens to abandoned children. Whatever the reason for humanity being purposely isolated from the galactic community, this isn't it.

I can get behind that. I don't know if Amicus was manipulated to get the MC specifically, but it definitely seems like the parent led him to Earth.

So that Q&A was pretty interesting. Someone asked Howly who he would fuck/marry/kill, and he said that he would fuck Neferu, marry Amicus, and he wouldn't say who he would kill because it would be a spoiler. Someone we have seen so far is definitely gonna get murdered.

Think the "kill" part isn't necessarily indicating someone's death though. More like the ultimate asshole that's going to be the last boss.
With that said, does anyone have opinions on who would be our mastermind, the "last boss" character? IMO wouldn't be surprised if all characters have good intents that are at worst misguided. Right now, all of the characters except the MC and Amicus seem to be possible villains.

Right now I see Cato as a potential Big Bad. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that he killed Amicus' father and made the sabotage look like a ship malfunction. I don't think Cassius would go as far as to try and kill his brother for the throne, so I don't see a lot of final antagonist potential in him. Alexios is definitely manipulating events towards an unknown goal though. Him disappearing right after you get to the city makes me suspect that he somehow caused the MC to get infected in order to cover his tracks. If the MC dies, the truth about who really informed the triumvirates dies with him. This might seem unlikely though, as Alex would have had to know somehow that avia pox was exceptionally lethal to human physiology, or he gambled on it being so.

Yeah. Cassius seems more of a political antagonist rather than than anything else. He might try some shitty things, but not to the extreme end. The Parent also seems to be a neutral/friendly party for now. Would be really funny if Virginia was the final boss who wants the throne. Also, just looked over the last update and saw the MC being approached by a sick kid. Maybe that's where the disease came from?

Yeah, the disease most certainly came from the kid, as symptoms didn't start manifesting until after that encounter. I just thought it strange that the sick kid picked out the MC specifically when everyone else went for Amicus and the triumvirates. I feel like Alexios may have set that up somehow.

When I read your comment and you mentioned that it was probably staged by alexios, I was at first like "wtf is this actual retard talking about"
But looking back at the situation, and seeing everything unfold, seeing how so very nice Alex was (trying to be) during the trial, and especially not appearing anywhere when MC was vomiting and spazzing and all, it all looks extremely suspicious.
when I first played the new update, I noticed the lack of his presence during the whole ordeal but I didn't bat an eye, as I just thought the creator of this game felt rushed after the delays and just forgot about alexios, but now...
you just enlightened me, unironically

The fact that he said he wouldn't marry the best boi innocent cinnamon roll Alexios makes me worried he has a hidden evil layer in his roll :(

Yuck though, Amicus has such a jarring personality, who would honestly be attracted to someone like him? He kidnaps you and you develop Stockholm Syndrome for him, he betrays your trust doing things behind your back, headstrong and overconfident in his skills to the point of being cocky, and becomes so emotionally clingy to you that after a small disagreement he completely falls apart

What a loser

I don't know. That would create a pretty big plot hole because it means Alexios:
1. Found out what species MC is despite not pressing him on his home planet and Earth being mostly erased from Adastra's records.
2. Has the biological knowledge and technology to predictively analyze human physiology and disease susceptibility.
3. Read between the lines of their conversation, and correctly guessing by omission that MC wasn't vaccinated.
4. Knew MC would come to the city despite always having the option to stay in the palace.

Seems like a gamble; although, there have been worse plot holes in fiction, and the plague wolf did seem to act suspiciously.

Well I personally can't think of who else it could be.
Cant be amicus (Obviously, no description needed)
Don't think it's Neferu, as he does seems to genuinely care about MC the most, after Amicus
I surprisingly don't actually think its cassius because he wouldv'e seen MC vomiting/being sick before he interrogated him at the charriot
Virginia had just properly met MC, so she has no real reason to try to kill him
Cato seems like the most likely here, but If I'm correct, Cato is (Seemingly) still unaware of MC intelligence, so he probably thinks MC is still an idiot, and he (Cato) wasn't even present in the city, so i can't see him staging it
I don't think the girl came up to MC by mere coincidence or because she wanted to. She seemed openly scared to be near MC, and the fact that she was the only one who came up to him makes me think that she was indeed staged.
If you look at the whole update again, you will never see alexios during the entire ordeal in the city. He probably slipped away and sent the patchy girl to MC as an assassination attempt.
All my money is on alexios here. He just seemed dodgy and fake from the very start of the story, and I never really liked him, which is a shame because I'm a cat person.

People who were kidnapped and had cases of Stockholm syndrome were often raped, abused, maimed or tortured. I don't see any of that from Amicus on MC, he just seems genuinely attracted to MC, although I honestly can't see why. Sure, MC is nice but his personality is so bland and bleak, and he only has 80 years at best to live, amicus has at least another 200 going for himself on the other hand

Well, the MC can extend his life with the same medication that the wolves take, probably. The fact that Amicus even suggested it probably means that the medication is generally compatible with most other species in the Galaxias.

>>1611505
It was actually rare for a Roman emperor to be succeeded by their biological son before the Byzantine period of the eastern empire. Generally, they adopted close family members or individuals who had shown promise. There is no reason to believe that the wolves don't have a similar practice that Amicus can use as an option if needed. Amicus never stated that he was actually descendant from Drusus afterall, and he never speaks of him like he is an ancestor of the current imperial dynasty.

For the person that was wondering what it means I will try to decode this pictogram cause I doubt Haps knows ancient egyptian and neither do I. On the first pictogram we see Neferu and MC, where it reads from right to left: I want to Fly... and on the second pictogram it reads from right to left: Sun/God I come to you to plead from you to let me see my human/beloved and I give anything to you as I want wisdom/means to reach my destination/travel through space.

So basically from this pictogram I understand Neferu asks what MC wants and he asks to be brought home and on the second one it shows Amicus pleading god/parent to go to MC or bring MC home depending on how the plot revolves since Amicus stated only the emperor can speak to the parents!

What I find a bit worrying about this game is about what happens when or if anything intimate happens between MC and amicus, or anybody else. Both haps and the producer of this game seem to have a large top small bottom prefrence, but I can't see that happening with MC let alone myself personally, even though I also prefer large top small bottom. What I imagine is that if something does happen, it might not involve any actual sex and at best might just be some blowjob, like some major disapointment.
I also feel like MC is far more of an observer so far instead of an actual influencer, mostly because the few decisions the player can make (seemingly) dont have any impact on the story whatsoever, but that is less of a point.
Anyone else feel worried about a potentially disapointing or unsatisfying intimate scene, or is it just me?

Did anyone else notice that Amicus almost made it back to the palace when the MC was dying before everyone caught up to him in a praetor vehicle? That forest was pretty close to the complex. It is difficult to judge the distance between the palace and the city in the view from Amicus' balcony since we don't know how tall those buildings are, but it I imagine that the distance is significant, especially since you have to take a route around the lake.

Why did they immediately think to take the MC back to the palace, anyway? It has no medical staff beyond automated drones, shown by the fact that Virginia had to fly a physician in. They were in the richest part of the imperial capital, so why didn't they take him to a local hospital, which would probably have some of the best medical care on the moon?

I suppose drones are exact reason why Amicus thought about this first.
They could get a doctor from the city but they probably don't have advanced tech for proper treatment outside of the palace.
Also Amicus may have wanted trying to contact Parents as his last measure and it should be probably only possible somewhere from within the palace.

Well, we didn't even see the drones in use when the MC briefly regained consciousness, just Amicus and the physician. I imagine that those drones are just used for routine medical care, not the kind of specialized care that the MC would need. Like, a hospital might have been able to stabilize the MC faster. It just seems weird that Amicus' immediate reaction is to take someone in critical condition on foot to an isolated palace complex rather than a local hospital. If they really needed the drones then they could have sent for them, but I feel like the MC would have benefited from immediate medical care. I don't think that Amicus was trying to conceal the MCs actual species either, as he would care more about the MCs life rather than the consequences for revealing that he broke the Prime Directive. Besides, the idea to take the MC to the palace was Neferu's, and he has only barely hinted at the idea that he knows the MC isn't a simian. So either they really underestimated how serious the illness was, or the state of the empire is much worse than we were led to believe.

Maybe amicus was just in a state of panic and just ran home to carry MC. Remember, although he is super caring, you have to keep in mind that he isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Also, Cassius stated that the healthcare situation was bad, in the second trial, and that he understands the people's bad situation, beyond the facade of the palace. That is probably suggesting that the entire empire is indeed in a north-korea like state, where the capital and the ruler are very nice but everywhere else is bad.

No matter who win the last trial. Adastra's citizens already choice their new emperor. The second trial are on live and Cassius show them that Amicus is a tail-raiser while he himself care about the citizens (I don't know if it just an act or not). And I'm sure that Amicus's win make the citizens question is Amicus cheat the trial. And MC get sick, Amicus while do everything to save MC but the citizens will see this as Amicus only help his pet while the citizen suffer from illness. So no matter who win the last trial. the citizens will only accept Cassius as their new emperor. It's interesting how MC can help Amicus.

I have a feeling that after the MC gets better he will approach cassius privately to talk about the kid and get a better understanding of how life really is for majority of the wolves. Other than his little visit where he got sick the mc hasnâ€™t seen much of how life is really like outside the walls of the palace. The Mc needs to be more involved in the world instead of being a passive part of it if he wants to properly understand the situation he has found himself in.

Practically everyone, from the triumvirates to the very knowledgeable Virginia, reasured Amicus that the anger of the people will only last until the next scandal comes along. We have no reason to doubt their assessment of the situation. You seem to suggest that the people will revolt, but I feel like that would hurt the theme of the VN, which is political intrigue. Politics on Adastra is simply war by other means, hidden beneath a facade of niceties. Wolves "hide a knife behind a smile"; enemies and allies aren't obvious, and I find that far more interesting than a civil war scenario.

I feel like Virginia needs a little more development before I can picture her manipulating events like that. At the moment, she probably wants Amicus to be emperor, but I don't think she is willing to go behind Cassius' back like that. Especially since Cassius only told her about the plan other than the MC, who isn't supposed to be smart enough to even understand as far as he knew. Virginia certainly didn't know that the MC was intelligent, so I doubt she would have risked telling anyone knowing that it would likely lead right back to her. The only reason she wasn't suspected was because Cassius was already suspicious of the MC after what happened in Amicus' bedroom, and probably whatever else he recorded other than Amicus fucking Neferu.

As far as the Monitors go, I don't really know what they can add to the story other than acting as some brief obstacle before the parent calls them off. He has known about the MC since Amicus abducted him. Hell, he was probably the one who set those events into motion.

Me too, the synopsis even says in a hostile environment your worst enemies could be your closest allies or the only people you could trust, in this case MC and Amicus started off as rivals and hating each other's guts, but, this means that Amicus probably really is the only person you can trust in this situation despite how bleak it seems.

I did some research and found some interesting things about their names, Amicus means "friend" in Latin (he may seem like a dick and mistreated you, but ultimately he becomes your best friend in this environment), Cassius is named after Gaius Cassius Longinus, the man who led the assassination of Caesar (which means this doesn't bode very well for Amicus, but it could also just be a red herring), and Alexios means "helper" in Greek (he is kind and helpful so far but that could just be a ruse), (side note: it looks like my jokes about Amazon Alexios/Alexa weren't far off at all since Alexa is also named after the Greek word for helper, so that's neat)

So yeah, it looks like these people did do their research and it makes the VN way more interesting now, I'm 99% sure Amicus won't betray us, but we never know, and I'm 50-50 on Cassius being good and Alexios being evil

May seem like a bad idea, but to be honest i'm 100% certain that amicus won't betray/hurt MC. He (amicus) shows deep affection and interest for MC, and amicus really doesn't have anything at all to gain out of killing or hurting MC at all, at least I can't think of anyway killing MC would help Amicus.
Cassius just seems sad/stressed, though, and I honestly feel so bad for him all the time. He really just needs a good hug and some time to relax, like on that island or something.

Only thing I'm struggling to understand is what Alexios has to gain out of killing MC. I never really trusted him from the start, but I still like him a bit. If anyone can help me figure that out, then please let me know. Or maybe I'm just being stupid.

The MC is a loose end. Right now everyone thinks that the MC leaked the information about the triumvirates, except maybe Amicus who just seemed rather oblivious to the rumors as he barely commented on them. However, the MC is the one person who knows who really could have leaked the info. Killing him would ensure that Alexios is never suspected, and that his position at Cassius' side is not jeopardized.

Just finished the latest update, and God damn that was stressful.
I'm so upset. Just when everything was going well and things are wrapping up, BAM shit goes wrong.
The illness was something I saw coming since the first trial, it was too convenient to not happen. But the fact that the MC didn't pick up on the obvious health risk, even after being told about vaccinations, kind of annoyed me. Aside from that, I thought it was handled pretty well.

Something that caught my attention near the end was the physician telling Amicus that they didn't have the MC's species on record. If they were under the impression that he was a Simian, they would have simply gone with those records (as they're still part of the Galaxias, they would surely have them available), but they didn't.
I'm thinking that Amicus, worried for the MC's health, told the physician that he was a human, something they could never have been prepared for. Obviously the lack of medical records won't ultimately matter since the Parent will make sure the MC can carry out his "task", but this leads me to believe that Monitors are already being alerted and perhaps the rest of the cast now knows about Earth.
Regarding the damage caused by the disease, it would be rather convenient if the MC's memories of life on Earth simply vanished, removing any agency to return. But the dreams showing him in his dorm room with full recolection of his plans before being abducted and only having out-of-context glimpses of things he'd seen on Adastra (the large spider being jarring despite him having been familiar with them for over a month, and the city merely being the setting for a horse which are not known to be present on Adastra at all), as well as him having no idea what the mangled trees were and even (potentially) forgetting Amicus' name all makes me think the outcome will be far more bleak. Maybe he'll forget all about his experiences on Adastra, which would absolutely destory Amicus and Alex, assuming he really does want the MC out of the way, would no longer consider him a threat. But that doesn't lead up to a particularly satisfying ending. It's likely the MC's memories will (mostly) be fine or (mostly) be restored instead, but I'm curious to see what path Part 8 takes.

I don't think that the MC will forget anything (permanently anyway). The parent will probably use space magic to make it as if nothing happened, otherwise this would be far too bleak and feel more like Echo than I would care for. I'm thinking that the MC is so fucked up that the parent will be forced to augment him with cybernetics or something, much like how he fixed Cato's vision. A nervous system that is "damaged beyond repair" for an advanced spacefaring civilization seems like it would require some sort of invasive and extreme procedure to fix. This would make it impossible for the MC to return to Earth if the augments are obvious, unless Earth is introduced to the galactic community by the end of the VN.

The Parent augmenting him in some way is very likely, since, as you mentioned, he has severe damage to his nervous system. It would seem to be the only hope of any progression past a few more lines of text at this point, and it's already been confirmed that 1.0 will not be the last build.
But this brings into question why Cassius and his mother had never been augmented. Their disease poses serious risks, especially in a culture where physical combat isn't uncommon (speaking of, I'd love some clarification on what exactly caused her death, since Cassius doesn't seem to be dying from the disease itself). It seems unfair that the emperor's wife and son would be pushed to the wayside while some random pet is given a free pass. Though Cato DID get augmented vision, that's nowhere near as intense as what the MC would appear to need. And even then, Cato's visor is rather large and unwieldy, almost like something you'd expect to see in a steampunk setting. It's hard to imagine the MC's fixes would be any more elegant unless Cato simply got shafted.

Either way, it is impossible for the MC to return to Earth now. Not only may treatment drastically alter his appearance, but he's also carrying a disease that could all but wipe out humanity. And given how much his stance on staying has changed so far (return to earth > return to earth with visits from amicus > torn between earth and adastra > visit earth and return to adastra), it's not too hard to see him being okay with simply staying on Adastra indefinitely.

cassius' questioning ("how did you know what to tell them") shows doubt. it makes me think that, even if he wrongfully suspects marco of telling the triumvirates, he knows that someone else was involved. he wasn't immediately violent to marco and didn't so much as threaten him, only grabbing him after thinking he was playing dumb and becoming frustrated. i think cassius likely suspects alexios to some degree, being the only obvious link between marco and the government officials (or really anyone outside of the palace). cassius may be narrow-minded, but he isn't stupid.

on the topic of alexios, he clearly knows far more about marco than he's letting on. despite how much marco slipped up, even going as far as to reveal the first bit of his planet's name (which wasn't "si-"), he never once called him out or pressed for more information. it's enough of a common trend to warrant some significance. alexios is presented as one of the most intelligent cast members thus far, and it makes sense that he'd have picked up on the inconsistencies surrounding marco, potentially already doing some of the research that virginia hinted at.

neferu also knows quite a bit. that much as been obvious for a while, but before the second trial he said that the outcome would determine "the fate of all things", that it would greatly affect parents and sapients alike. this hints at things that we don't even know about, and the only way he could possibly know what he seems to is if he had been in contact with romanus or another parent before conveniently being stranded on ancoris. if he is acting on a parent's behalf, it would also explain his eagerness to be involved in all of this, as i really don't buy that "duty of all khemians" bit. he hinted at knowing that marco was not a simian, possibly revealing that he knows about humans and earth, which would make sense given the obvious khemian uplift attempt. that whole segment before the second trial really shed some light on neferu and i don't see him taking a backseat any time soon.

I cannot imagine the Parent's interference being subtle at all and, as we now have a visual of him, he will likely be making himself physically present in the process. He may even give Amicus the same ultimatum that he gave Drusus, which could be used to revisit Amicus' promise to consult the MC directly in matters involving him. Either that or cause a fight between Amicus and the Parent because "this isn't a game, if you can fix him just do it".

Perhaps the parent believed augmenting Cassius and his mother was unnecessary, or maybe the nature of their disease makes augmentation impractical or dangerous. Whatever their disease is, it seems to be manageable through medication, allowing them to live a normal, if cautious, life. Besides, Cato was augmented and they weren't so there is probably a reason for that.

The MC seems to be a critical, perhaps even central, part of whatever plan the parent has. In light of this, it makes sense that he would take every necessary step, no matter how extreme, to ensure that he survives.

I'm certain that there won't be a "this isn't a game, if you can fix him, fix him" scenario.
the MC clearly has some mission to fulfill, and the parent himself stated that he WILL fulfill that mission, basically insinuating that "games" are obviously not a priority here.
That ultimatum just seems impossible to me in this scenario, not to be blunt or rude or anything

I agree. While a Drusus scenario seemed likely in earlier builds, that is no longer the case. The MC is important to whatever is going on behind the scenes, so giving Amicus a choice like that would seem nonsensical.

I personally think the Drusus' scenario is just myth. Drusus and the tiger women seem to have existed, but I doubt the Parent would be so heartless as to make Drusus choose between his wife and his empire.

Well, the parent said that he was sorry that the MC is on the brink of death, so he clearly has the capacity for empathy. But the fact that the myth exists seems to suggest that the wolves themselves believe that he is capable of forcing such a cold and arbitrary choice on Drusus and others.

Thinking about this wolven myth makes me wonder if Howly is going to address real-world Roman myths. For example, Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome, was said to have disappeared during a sudden and violent storm after ruling for 33 years. While there are many accounts of what happened, one of the most famous is that he ascended to heaven by the hand of Mars, his divine father. Given that Rome is an imitation of a far older alien civilization in this VN, that heavenly ascension sounds more like an alien abduction. I can't wait for the plot to start exploring some of the behind-the-scenes mystery.

The wolves are a very dramatic people, even going as far as to elect their leaders based on their performances rather than sound judgement. It wouldn't surprise me if the story was embellished quite a bit to make it worth telling.

The theory that Romulus and potentially other notable Roman figures were abducted is an intriguing one. The way Amicus thought the MC would react to seeing a wolf makes me think that being chosen as a pet was an honor, so it makes sense that we would see such an event portrayed as sacred in myths and legends.

Personally i'm a little mad about cato voting for cassius in the second trial, not because he didn't made sense on what he said but because he basically broke every rule that could be broken in the second trial........it coul've been better that he got discualified on that trial but still causing the ruckus that he made of it.

Furrynomous 2019/07/22 03:29:58 No.1619562

>>1619545
Yeah, it is intriguing, which is why I hope that the mystery surrounding Earth is explored more in the coming updates. And there is more than just abductions too. Ancient Rome had it's share of UFO sightings. Livy once reported on "phantom ships had been seen gleaming in the sky", and Plutarch stated that a huge silvery object shaped like a wine jar descended upon two armies just before a battle during the Mithridatic Wars. Now that the parent seems like he is about to make his entrance, we might be learning more about the relationship between humanity and the siblings here soon.

>>1619554
That's the point, the rules are for show and are literally made to be broken, it seems. Neferu even says this afterwards. This was supposed to be a trial of rhetoric, and the type of rhetoric that Cassius employed here was emotionally charged rhetoric, to be specific. A good example of this kind of rhetoric would be Mark Antony's "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech in Shakespeare's "Tragedy of Julius Caesar". Amicus likely would have lost if the Triumvirates weren't corrupt and worried about their power in the event that Cassius became emperor. Amicus said early on that he wasn't worried about debating Cassius because he had beaten him in a number of debates before. Cassius probably realized that he was disadvantaged in this trial, so he just decided that he would throw out all the rules, knowing that the people would eat it up. Amicus seemed sensible and logical in his argument and played by the rules, whereas Cassius appealed to the emotions of people living in a decaying empire that seems like it is on the verge of collapse.

Obviously the MC believes that Amicus made a better argument because he comes from a human society that (arguably) has a better track record on choosing leaders for ability rather than showmanship. Cato on the other hand comes from a aggressively chauvinistic society in which overly-dramatic theatrics are more important to the people than perceived ability to lead. Not to mention that Amicus is gay in a homophobic society and was just publicly outed in the most graphic way possible in front of 80 million people. Cato made the choice that made sense to the society in which he lives.

What if Alex and Neferu were actually working together? We know for a fact that they've been getting along pretty well and that they've shared information about the MC. One of them has befriended Cassius and the other has a deal with Amicus. Maybe Alex knew about the hidden recording device in Amicus' room and maybe Neferu did as well. He certainly doesn't seem care all that much that the entire wolven populace has seen him getting screwed by the heir presumptive. Maybe he knew he was being recorded and all that was actually part of the plan? I don't know, I'm just wildly speculating.

Why would the recording be a part of their plan, assuming that this hypothetical partnership is real? They both come from egalitarian societies, and the Khemians in particular seem to be champions of child rights. Thus, they would logically oppose Cassius becoming emperor. That being said, that recording would have made it impossible for Amicus to win the trial if the triumvirates weren't corrupt, thus ensuring Cassius' ascension to the throne.

Besides, I think Neferu just doesn't care about what he puts out there. After flirting with Amicus in the baths, he just walked out into the palace hallways while still naked.

Then one day, one of tyrant emperor candidate show up and said he will dispose all nobles when he become an emperor. Although the tyrant candidate is very talent. Will MC, the isekai noble, vote for the tyrant and peaceful accept the dispose? Or ally with the other candidate who kind and good heart?

Each new update is more of a ride than the last. Jesus. What did I just play.

The eye scream that Amicus inflicted on Cato was brutal. I don't understand why Marco zapped Cassius instead of Cato. It seemed to me like Cassius wanted no part of it, and he was genuinely concerned when Cato punched Amicus. He could have been secured as an ally there and then. From what we've been told, though, it's likely he will become an ally later on anyway. I really like how he and Alex have switched roles. Alex was set up as your friend and Cassius as your enemy, and now it's seemed they're going to switch. I am concerned as to how Marco is going to escape the drones. I imagine Amicus doesn't have the authority to call them off, and I don't know if they'll back off just because Neferu claims Marco as his pet. The kind of scenario the characters are in is the kind in which contracts no longer matter.

I almost can't wait for the next update. It just keeps getting better and better.

I think the MC planned on hitting them both with the nervo, although I don't know if he was aware that it wasn't set to lethal. I feel like Howly needs to redo that scene a bit just so we have a better understanding of the MC's thought process. From the moment he grabbed the nervo I thought that he was gonna use it on Cato. I feel like Amicus would have a hard time forgiving the MC if he killed Cassius like that. I'm not too worried on how the MC is gonna get out of this since he, well, the MC. I'm more worried about what will happen to Amicus. He was still struggling to pin Cato after he blinded him, so I hope that we don't find ourselves in a situation where the MC is safe as Neferu's "pet" while Amicus is imprisoned awaiting execution or something.

>>1622141
Well, Meera gave her life to ensure that the wolves wouldn't be isolated from the galaxy. I think the parent is deeply dissatisfied with the state the empire is in, and wants the MC to facilitate some sort of positive change.

I really want to know what personality/memory changes the MC suffered from nervous system failure/brain death. He mentioned not feeling like himself and missing patches of his memory, so I feel like that will be addressed later. Perhaps his decision to fuck up Cato's plan was influenced by that.

I don't think Cato is going to be doing anything for a long time. Amicus probably permanently blinded him. I doubt Cato would have Amicus executed, but if he is blind then he's unfit to rule, and since the Triumvirs like Amicus over Cassius, if they intervene (I assume there is some sort of process through which they can depose an unsuitable emperor), Amicus will be given the throne. It really depends on how what happened will be spun. If Cato accuses Amicus of harbouring a dangerous xeno and trying to overthrow him, corrupt or no, the triumvirs will have to oppose him, or else face rebellion in their sectors. The mob is not going to take the attempted assassination of their emperor by the least popular candidate well. On the other hand, if Amicus frames Cato as an extremist who attempted to execute his pet without due cause (Alex helps Cassius get off and that is considered normal, so Amicus is sleeping with Marco means nothing), the public and the triumvirs will turn against him. Amicus could very easily frame Cato as a madman. Given that Cato nearly broke his face, Amicus could also explain away Cato's blinding by citing self defence.

Marco should be safe, though, once he reaches Neferu. As I said before, I'm not sure if the drones will relent just because Nerferu grants Marco asylum, but unless Cato wants a galactic war on his hands (Which the Khemians would, lets be honest, probably win), he will call them off. Even if the drones caught Marco before he got to Neferu, if they killed him, Neferu could very easily escalate the matter given the agreement he has with Amicus. I think, therefore, that the next update will probably begin with Amicus telling Cato that Marco now belongs to Neferu, and unless he wants the shit to hit the fan, he should call off the drones. Everything could have been resolved quite easily and without stress or violence if Cato didn't barge into Amicus' room and flip out. He's put his foot into it now.

I don't know if Marco is mentally ill like all of the main characters in Echo, but I have a feeling the dragon god probably optimised his brain structure, immune system, and physiology in general. Our bodies are surprisingly fragile. There's a lot that could be done to make them work faster and more efficiently. He probably has nanites and implants inside his body now that monitor his health and make changes as needed. I have a feeling that the dragon god could have fixed Cato's vision permanently, but chose to semi-cripple him by installing a clunky visor instead. For a warrior, something like that is going to be a massive weakness. Amicus was easily able to blind him by pulling it off. The dragon god probably knows Cato is a bastard. It makes sense if you think about it. Cato was Amicus' father's closest adviser. He could have easily taken the throne. He probably tried, and was refused by the dragon god. There's a reason why he's only acting emperor despite his experience and qualifications. The dragon god clearly believes Cassius and Amicus are better suited for the throne. Both have good ideas, and would individually make good rulers. They both have their downsides, but there may be a solution to that. In later Roman history, the emperorship was shared between multiple individuals. Amicus and Cassius may end up becoming co-emperors, ruling in a manner similar to that of Roman consuls, but for life.

Well, Cato still has drone control. He doesn't need his eyes to kill the MC or incapacitate Amicus. Cassius is another problem. While he may have been upset by Cato's methods, he probably still wants the throne. I doubt he will be in a cooperative mood after being hit with a nervo on the highest setting. All he has to do is blab that Amicus made unauthorized First Contact. Although, he seemed terrified when Cato was talking about Monitor involvement, so I imagine that it wouldn't just be Amicus who would suffer punishment. Cato did say that the entire empire was at risk because of what Amicus did. However, we don't know if the monitors will even do anything. The parents, or at least the parent of the wolves, already know about the MC and what Amicus did, and even directly intervened (an event so rare that Amicus called it a miracle) to save the MC so that he can change the galaxy or whatever.

Still though, I have a bad feeling Amicus is going to be in a very bad situation for the short-term.

>>1622162
I wouldn't be surprised if Cato orchestrated the shuttle crash that killed Amicus' father and covered it up as an accident.

And while it is true that Rome had co-emeprors in its history, they almost never worked out well. The parent probably favors Amicus for the throne since he upholds the ideals he imparted on the wolves in the first place. When the parent asks the MC if he thought that Amicus would make a good emperor, answering "yes" is met with what seems like approval, while answering "no" is met only with "...".

Actually, now that I think about it, Cato is probably just dead or otherwise removed from the plot from this point out. If Cato stays in, Haps would need to make an alternative visorless/fucked up version of every one of his sprites. Seems like a lot of work to be honest. Plus, when Haps and Howly were asked who they would fuck/marry/kill regarding the VN characters during the Adastra Q/A on d iscord, Howly said that he couldn't say who he would kill because it would be a spoiler.

I think Alex is the one who is probably going to end up dead. He's clearly manipulating events so that Adastra falls into strife. Plus, I don't think removing Cato's visor would kill him. He's badly injured and probably completely blind, but it shouldn't kill him. We know now that Alex has been feeding information to various parties and that he tried to kill Marco using the sick child, so he's enemy number one.

No, it wouldn't kill him, but Amicus probably isn't just gonna sit there and do nothing. It would make sense to finish him off. And like I said, if Cato survives then Haps will need to rework the sprites. Only the parent can fix the visor most likely, since he was the one who installed it in the first place.

>We know now that Alex has been feeding information to various parties and that he tried to kill Marco using the sick child
We actually don't know any of that. While it is likely that he leaked the info, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that he used the kid to make the MC sick. Amicus said that the MC is the only example of someone having a lethal reaction to avia pox, so Alex would have had no reason to even attempt to infect him with a presumably mild illness.

Come to think of it, did the document Amicus find, the one that lead him to Earth, specify that humans were Child-status? I took a second look, but from what I saw Amicus thought that humans were child-status. If that document does verify that humans are the child, then maybe Amicus could get out of the problem.

Alex is the prime suspect for leaking the info about Cassius' intentions regarding the triumvirates. Virginia seems very unlikely. If he was the one who leaked the info, then he essentially sabotaged Cassius' efforts to become emperor. I don't think he cares about who is on the throne. I think his goal is destabilization. I'd say he succeeded, because things are pretty fucking unstable right now.

Yeah, he has been suspicious for a while now, but that scene right there really exposed him.

Unrelated, I really liked the nightmare scene at the beginning of this update. I guess Amicus would have just been fucking brained by the MC on the ship if the parent didn't intervene. Seeing some of Amicus' past was pretty cool too, even if it was one of the worst moments of his life. Which reminds me; we still haven't seen that Amicus crying sprite. If we didn't see it this update, I really don't want to think about what would finally bring that sprite out.

I feel like the reason why a monitor was not alerted about first contact was because of of the parent. Near the beginning of the novel, Amicus explains that he found out about Earth in the library and how there is a sentient species there. Both Amicus and Cato mention that all species they come in contact with are profiled, abandoned or not. Despite this, Earth and humans remained unprofiled.

Since humans are unprofiled, I doubt that the wolves, or any sibling in the Galaxias, knew about Earth. That is why Earth is unprofiled because the siblings never knew Earth existed in the first place, so i dont think that the information about earth in the library was written by a wolf, but by the parent. Amicus is not allowed to make first contact without proper authorization from the parent. Because the parent had a plan for the MC to finish what Meera started, its possible that the parent intended for Amicus to find out about the footnotes in the library. Hence why a monitor wasn't alerted.

Furrynomous 2019/07/30 05:09:32 No.1623053

>>1623024
They would have had to have made first contact, by the simple fact that Earth had a civilization based on theirs. In fact, every mentioned sibling race so far has a corresponding civilization on Earth. Rome=wolves, Ancient Egypt=Khemians, Greece=cats, and India=Hindo. We can assume the other four unmentioned sibling races had a shot as well. The reason humans aren't profiled and why there is falsified information in the Galaxias is likely the same reason why Earth has no knowledge that its major civilizations were founded by aliens. Either Earth has a hidden parent that is way more hands-off who is keeping this shit on lockdown, or humanity has some other crazy secret that is scaring the siblings away.

And the reason the monitors haven't already converged on Amicus and the MC is likely because the parent of the wolves (and quite possibly the other parents as well) already knows about the MC. Like, they were barely a few minutes out of the Solar System before the parent started whispering in the MC's dreams. He even directly stopped the MC from hitting Amicus in the head with that pipe, which would have killed him according to that dream sequence the parent was putting the MC through. These monitors are often mentioned, but I am not really sure that they are gonna show up, and if they do, they probably won't interfere since the MC was given a task directly from the parent.

It would most certainly not be our predisposition to violence. The wolves have been shown to be pretty violent as well, so they would probably love that shit. Also, other siblings have abandoned child races for being too violent, but they are still profiled and they presumably still have detailed records on them as well. Humanity is not profiled, and the records are falsified by describing humans as far less intelligent than we really are, thus ensuring that pretty much no one would even want to investigate. The historical records of both Earth and the siblings are being altered by some unknown individual or group for some unknown reason.

It is also interesting to note that humanity has had the capacity for intelligence that we have now for the past 200,000 years according to our fossil records, and we have been behaviorally modern for around 40,000 years. Wolves (and presumably the other siblings if the uplifts happened at the same time) have only been this intelligent for 20,000 years due to uplifting by their parent. Amicus said that the parents swept the whole galaxy for uplift candidates, and they only picked the most intelligent ones, yet for some reason Earth and its race of already intelligent primates was missed or deliberately avoided. You would think that any one of the parents would have leapt at the chance to claim such a promising species, but none of them did. There has to be a reason for that.

all of these comments make good points. however we all know at this point that the parent of the wolves (and possibly other parents) DID have a huge roll in just about everything that has happened. He himself even said he had plans for the MC, then later said when the MC got sick that it was not part of the plan that was set in motion and he nor the other parents could have predicted what happened to the MC but he wasnt going to let him die. the parent of the wolves even said The MC still had a mission to do and needs to finish what meera started]. We still dont know the exact amount of parents there are. But it does seem what the text that the parent of the wolves is also the parent of earth. but thinking about how other siblings have been to earth also i think its safe to say that earth is either a free-for-all planet OR is you draw a circle that outlines the parent territory they all overlap at one point and earth might be the only planet that they overlap.

While the idea that the parent of the wolves is also the parent of humanity is an interesting one, it begs the questions as to why he has intervened in human affairs far less than the wolves, why he is purposely isolating humanity, and why he would allow the races uplifted by other parents to interfere in Earth's development. No, if it turns out that humanity does have a parent, I think it is more likely that Earth has it's own hidden parent who wants humanity to develop on it's own with minimal intervention. Earth has hundreds of religions, with the biggest ones being the abrahamic religions. Maybe God is an alien dragon or something. As it turns out, practically every human culture has a variant of the dragon myth, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be the case.

Regarding the idea that Earth is located at some boundary overlap, I find that to be implausible. The Solar System is situated about halfway between the core and the galactic rim, meaning that if Earth was at the center of an eight-way boundary overlap then the "territories" would be unevenly sized, and I don't think the parents would consent to unequal territory division. Also, the entire concept of traditional territory division does not translate well into three-dimensional space, and is pretty pointless considering that they have FTL tech that can transverse half the galaxy in a day or two. What's more likely is that they just claim worlds where they find them regardless of distance, shown by the fact that Earth is 50,000 light-years from Adastra. I doubt they lay claim to every star in between. It seems territory claiming only really becomes a problem when it gets too close to the homeworld of one of the siblings, which is what sparked the wolf-khemian war.

I would think. "Galaxias" is just the Latin name the wolves use for the galactic civilization. The nexus is their version of the internet, and presumably where all records are stored. Amicus implies that child records are shared between species as he said that abandoning a child race is usually a sign to every other sibling race that that child race is unupliftable. They would need to share records to know that information.

I don't think that is the case because the uplift attempts were separated by centuries, even millennia in some cases. Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome were not contemporary civilizations, for example. That means that an uplift attempt had been over and done with long before another one started.

Also, here is an image of Cato because Haps is a treasure. Too bad he is probably gonna be dead by the end of the next update.

I'd say that Cato wants a war, or at the very least revenge. Having Cassius on the throne is the best way to ensure that he gets what he wants. He most certainly would not get it with Amicus, as one of his core policies is reconciliation with the siblings, particularly the Khemians, a race that I am sure Cato despises.

That person asked why Cato voted the way he did. He did it because he wants Cassius to be emperor. Same reasoning for why we vote the way we do for our own leaders. Cato probably would have accepted Amicus as emperor even if it wasn't the outcome he wanted, because tradition demands it. Or he would have made Amicus suffer an unfortunate "accident" some time down the line. Regardless of what he wants or believes, the people wouldn't accept him just declaring Cassius to be emperor, which is why he threatened to kill the MC to get Amicus to take part in a rigged third trial.

Furrynomous 2019/08/01 11:32:01 No.1624222

I don't know. Cato sound like he have enough of Amicus's stupid and he will not take it anymore. The "First Contact" thing is like the last straw. I don't know how serious it is but look at Amicus's react about it at the begin of the game make is look like VERY SERIOUS.

Amicus : "It's very illegal to make First Contact without authorization from a Parent."

And that really make Cato very very very ANGRY to the point he force Amicus to loss the final trial and make Cass an emperor. Well, Amicus did piss Cato off many time. Steal the emperor's ship. Late on training and ruin his meeting. Tail-raiser. The rumor about the triumvirates (he maybe believe that Amicus's pet do it). and now First Contact without authorization from a Parent, a very illegal one. Just ignore the "MC's power" that make he always right, I think I understand why Cato vote for Cass.

Cato's reaction to the MC's miraculous recovery probably happened offscreen. What confuses me is that he is so worried about the monitors; the fact that the MC completely recovered from total nervous system failure and brain death after Amicus prayed is a pretty obvious indicator that their parent already knows about the MC. Despite that fact, Cato still threatened to kill him. Making unauthorized First Contact is pretty serious considering how scared Cato and Cassius were, but I would think that murdering that alien would be a far greater crime.

I don't understand too. Maybe Cato very angry to the point he don't care about it anymore. Maybe the unauthorized First Contact could affect the whole wolf race so he try to "hide" it before a other Siblie know about the exitance of this alien creature (MC). Or maybe, like MC really sick with wolf alien virus, the whole wolf could die with human virus too. So he try to kill MC before MC infect the wolf.
If I remember correct. Once Amicus said that a Parent stop contact with the wolf after Meera incident. If that true then it posible that Cato and Cass may not know that a Parent help MC. (I believe that even Amicus don't know too.) I mean a Parent leave the wolf for too long that everyone don't think that a Parent is this close. I think MC still not tell everyone that he meet with a Parent. And I don't think every would have any idea that MC meet a Parent too.

After the depressing cliffhanger that Build 7 left off at, the latest one feels somehow relieving. That said, reading about Amicus lying dead on the ship floor hurt quite a bit, even if it was clearly a dream.

I am glad that the question of why the MC wasn't vaccinated was addressed, and it was even explained that avia pox wouldn't have been included in the vaccinations anyway. I didn't expect that, but it was nice to have confirmation.

The sex scene was okay. It felt a rushed and didn't have the build up I was expecting for their first sexual encounter, but I guess it wasn't a particularly intense act either.
I was wondering how it would be handled; every scene so far has been from the MC's perspective with none showing him at all. It was a surprise to see a bit of the MC, and I'm glad it was still shown from his point of view, but it does bring into question whether there will be another scene. Actual sex would either be shown from the same perspective or just be a view of the bed sheet. Unless the MC tops next time, I can't think of too many other positions that would work.

It amazes me that the MC fails to realize just how much of a danger Alexios is, when his motives have been in question since the first trial.
Although it was unlikely that avia pox would have killed the MC, I still think Alexios organized the contact. The triumvirates insisting on the MC's inclusion in the city could potentially have been at Alexios' request, as he must have some pull with them considering he leaked Cassius' plans. I imagine Alexios planned to have a doctor confirm that the MC wasn't a Simian (something he's no doubt been sure of for some time now), causing Cato to order for his execution in fear of alerting Monitors. Knowing the relationship between Amicus and the MC, Alexios knew this would throw Amicus into a spiral that would lead him to be unfit to rule and cause further instability to the empire. While the MC's immediate death was likely unintended, it still fit into Alexios' plan which explains his cheery mood, despite having a close friend lie dying a few yards away, as well as his clear frustration when the MC was indeed alive and his concern about which doctor could possibly confirm the MC's species. Of course by the next afternoon he had acquired this info and informed Cato of the potential First Contact.

I'm rethinking Cato's involvement in all of this, and I'm sure he's simply being manipulated by Alexios like everyone else seems to be. It's too coincidental that Alexios' plans to topple the Wolven empire would align with Cato's speculated betrayal. While it is very likely that one of those two sabotaged Amicus' father's ship six months ago, I can't see Cato being on board with dismantling the empire he risked his life and lost his eyes for, so I doubt that they're working together either. Alexios was already on Adastra when the crash and resulting depletion occurred, and I'm thinking he might just be the cause of all of it.
Of course, Cato is still a reactionary asshole and needs to be put in his place. Even if he is acting in the empire's best interest (as he sees it), he's still attempting to stage the final trial and have Amicus' pet executed. If he's not killed by Amicus, I see him either being thrown in the dungeon or reluctantly forgiven for some reason.

Once again, Cassius did nothing wrong. I was hoping to see his alliance in a future update, but I can't see him being too friendly with the MC after this incident. He was hesitant to harm the MC or Amicus, ultimately doing neither, and was clearly going along with Cato's orders out of fear. He will wake up knowing that the MC hit him with a fully charged Nervo for seemingly no real reason and likely be rightfully pissed off.

And who the hell knows what Neferu is going to do. He isn't going to be able to do much to help the MC, unless his diplomatic status somehow makes him untouchable by the palace's drones. Either that or he manages to overpower the palace's entire supply of drones in the most inappropriate power fantasy imaginable.

>>1622240
The document that Amicus found could likely be the piece of evidence that saves him. It's clear proof that the human race had been uplifted before, going as far as to provide a location, a (false) child intelligence rating, and even a mission indication number for said uplift. Once any authorities read it, he would be declared innocent.
This is assuming it's ever even brought up again. It's the catalyst that caused this whole thing, but I could very easily see it being ignored.

You forget, humanity has lost all knowledge of any of the eight uplifts (we can reasonably assume at this point that every sibling had a try). Amicus stated that in the very rare chance that a race loses knowledge of an uplift, it is First Contact all over again. While he can lie to the wolves as they can't prove him wrong with the stretch depletion, the Monitors won't have that same issue. Of course, since the MC was given a task directly by the parent, it is likely that they will either not interfere, or show up to fuck up Cato/Com's Skynet drones in some grand twist.

Regarding Cato, I am fairly certain he is going to be dead by the end of the next update. Someone earlier said that Haps would have to alter his sprite if he lives, since presumably only the parent can fix that visor. I doubt Amicus is going to let him live considering he is a direct threat to the MC. After losing the MC once, I'm sure he will resort to anything to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

The last update was titled "End of the Road". Since Howly said that this isn't going to end at build 10, I bet that this means that we are reaching the end of the battle for the throne, and the plot will begin to explore the Earth/human mystery afterwards. Afterall, it would be kinda wack to end it any time soon when we have only had three choices so far, with the most recent one being several updates ago.

While humanity has lost all knowledge of the Galaxias, making any contact First Contact all over again, this knowledge was only made available to Amicus after Com fully scanned our Nexus. Considering just how serious of an offense this is and Com was unable to provide even a warning of the possibility sooner, it can be assumed that it was impossible to know before making the trip, even for an AI created by the Parents themselves. As nobody on Adastra could possibly access our Nexus to dispute Amicus' claims, the presence of Earth in the records should be enough to call any such accusations into question and at least delay the extermination of the MC.
The problem then becomes why he lied about the MC's species in the first place, something that would be much harder for him to explain. And although the Monitors likely won't be a problem for reasons we're fully aware of, Amicus and the MC are still under the impression that they pose a very serious threat, at least until the MC fully remembers his contact with the Parent(s).
What's strange to me is that Com seems to have completely wiped any knowledge of our Nexus from its database, clearly being of no help to Felix or Cato in determining the MC's species. As I recall, Amicus only wiped 10 minutes of conversation, but nothing remains.

I really hope Cato doesn't have to die. He fully believes Amicus and the MC to be putting the empire at colossal risk (something they also believe themselves to be doing), and is only doing this out of fear for the people. Unless it's revealed that he did kill Amicus' father or that he is (for some reason) working with Alexios, he's acting as one would expect a leader to act in the current situation. He's being far more rash than he has to be, and certainly deserves to be punished for that, but he's understandably desperate and doesn't deserve to die for it.
The only character that really deserves the worst, in my opinion, is Alexios. And that's a real shame because he was my second favorite character up until the second trial.

Com didn't inform Amicus until it was too late because Amicus set him to minimum interruptions. Before Amicus went down to abduct the MC, Com also warned him that analysis of our internet was incomplete. Amicus is entirely at fault here because of his assumptions and overconfidence. Com also didn't reveal anything to Cato because the palace Com is a separate entity from the Com on the emperor's personal ship, presumably anyway. And even with the existence of that record in the nexus, the fact that humanity does not have a biological profile on record is a big problem for them. While a child race forgetting uplift attempts is rare according to Amicus, Cato stated that literally every race encountered is profiled. While to us this is just obvious evidence that someone has tampered with records in the nexus (probably to hide our intelligence, which a profile would show), to Cato this is all the proof he needs. The only ones who can set the records straight are the monitors, who everyone is afraid of, even Cato as shown by this entire situation.

I believe Cato will die, though it is possible that he might just be otherwise removed from the narrative. Outside Haps needing to redo his sprites if he lives, I really can't think of a reason as to why Amicus would spare his life. He tried to rig the third trial, is currently trying to kill the MC, and is now never going to follow Amicus regardless of what happens after Amicus brutalized his face. He is a permanent threat if he lives. Honestly, he may die regardless of what Amicus does; that visor was grafted to his skull (Haps draws a lot of images of Cato without the visor like it can be removed, but I doubt that's canon), shown by the fact that blood went everywhere when Amicus tore it off. Depending on just how deeply that visor was integrated into his head, his injuries might be fatal.

It's a mistery for sure because it's clear that there was an attempt to uplift on earth and yet they didn't made a biological profile on the species?, and well that's assuming only the wolfs case then what about the khemians and the felines etc that presumably also made an attempt of uplift on earth, it's clear that record of the humans were destroyed for some reason but not entirely, i mean even cato said that failed attempts have a record, unless taking on consideration the amount of time required to decide if a species is unupliftable, so regardless of that there should've been a recor of humans at some point.

The issue is that the records do not mention that Earth was completely cut off from the Galaxias, something Amicus would definitely have noticed before making the trip. I see no reason the records themselves could not be presented to Cato or another authority as "proof" that Amicus had not initiated First Contact.

As for records kept by other Siblings, another anon had speculated that such information is shared between all Siblings. This could be the case, as it was explained that abandonment is a signal to other Siblings that the species is not worth uplifting. However, I would not be surprised to find out that the Khemians or even the Cats have more robust records available. Neferu was very interested in the MC from the beginning, treating him as an intelligent being despite not yet having been informed of his intelligence. It could be that he's simply used to the idea of Children being intelligent as he said, but there's too much mystery surrounding the topic for me to just accept that.

The thing is that the fact that humans are not profiled is unprecedented, further complicating matters. And as mentioned before, Amicus DID make first contact, as all knowledge of any of the uplift attempts have been erased or otherwise lost from Earth's historical record. Amicus had every opportunity to thoroughly scan the internet with Com, but chose not to. He chose to ignore pretty much every warning from Com, and set him to minimum interruptions just to get him to shut up. Hell, he didn't even know Earth's population, which is presumably much higher than the rest of the Galaxias combined if the wolves population is taken as what is typical. Amicus definitely dropped the ball here, and the incomplete nature of the records on Earth and humanity would make it very difficult to prove anything considering that these records have been deliberately altered by an unknown party, probably the parents themselves. Besides, even if confronted with this information, I doubt Cato would care, as this is the excuse he needs to put Cassius on the throne.

I feel like Neferu treated the MC so well because it is just a part of his culture. Children seem to be very important in societies outside of the Romans, as they are uplifted to be as intelligent as their patron siblings. This seems especially true for the Khemians, who were even revisiting abandoned races. Neferu's people value all life and abhor how wolves treat their children, so his demeanor isn't surprising. As for why he showed so much interest in the MC, that is probably because he has never seen a human before. If he really did know about humanity, I feel like he would have confronted the MC by now. At most, he knows the MC isn't really a Simian, but anything beyond that is unlikely.

I also doubt that the Khemian or Cat records are more robust than those of the wolves. If the parent of the wolves hid humanity from the siblings, we can only assume that every other parent was part of this as well. Just before the MC woke up from his coma, he sensed the presence of multiple beings around him emanating approval in their work. Healing the MC seemed to be a team effort among the parents, which means that the other parents are working with the parent of the wolves on whatever plan he has.

Where did he say that? I follow both of his twitter accounts and I haven't seen anything about that.

If Cato lives, he is probably gonna remain alive for awhile. I don't see Haps reworking the sprites just for a single update unless it's just a few of them. The MC might at least be able to secure political asylum with Neferu, but Amicus is fucked. There is virtually no scenario (that we know of) where Amicus takes the throne while Cato lives after what he did. And now Cato has a video of the MC hitting Cassius with a nervo while Amicus tears bio-integrated cybernetics off of the face of the acting emperor. Taken out of context, that suggests a coup. Hell, it doesn't look good even WITH context. Considering the name of the last update, I thought we were nearing the end of story in regards to the fight over the throne, but now I can't really envision a scenario where Amicus isn't thrown in the dungeons to await execution, much less takes the throne. Unless the monitors intervene or something.

It's would be funny if the story rewind back so MC can change the past and help Amicus. Like chapter 1 show us what happen and chapter 2 we loop back to solve the event. I think for awhile that a Parent can rewind time because what happen in the ship. When MC have a dream I think what support to happen is that MC hit Amicus in his head, dead and later, the ship hit the star, MC dead too. So a Parent rewind the time and interfere the event like everyone predict.

It makes me wonder if that nightmare was forced upon the MC by the parents. He did say that it was the only one of his nightmares that he could remember during the coma, and the only one that was recurring. I also wonder if that vision of Amicus' past was really a vision or if it was just a dream. If it was a vision from the parents, what was the point of it? We already know the story from Amicus. I don't really see what we gained from actually witnessing it unless it has relevance later or something.

listening to an emotionless robotic voice narrate a moment of intense passion and romance is both hilarious and profoundly disturbing. I feel like I would lose my fucking mind if I had to experience the entire VN like this.

Unintentional comedy aside, I wonder how Howly will play with our emotions in the next update. I am gonna place my bets on Amicus getting critically injured trying to protect the MC from Skynet, or Cato throwing Amicus in the dungeons if he survives that disfigurement. Even better if either of these two events sets up a cliffhanger.

Has anybody else noticed how much MC has been sleeping, since the argument?
He slept after the argument for a few hours, went to the room and went to sleep, after the trial he slept on the way to the city, he then got sick and "slept" for 3 days straight, then woke up, one "sex" scene later the same evening and then he sleeps yet again for the duration of that day until Cato wakes him up.

Maybe he is still adjusting to the 19 hour days. He has only been on Adastra for about four Earth weeks at this point, maybe a little less than that. It can take awhile to adjust to a radically different sleep cycle like that. Doesn't help that he is in a high-stress environment

Its not really a case of "adjusting", because he was sleeping seemingly perfectly fine before. and it also doesnt take anyone 4 weeks to still be unable to adjust to a new time frame.
I honestly think the huge time spent sleeping might just be something that Howly is overrusing to make the time fly by faster in the game tbh

I don't know, it took me a while to adjust to a different schedule that I used for part of college. I imagine it would have taken longer to adjust if I was abducted by a roman space wolf and taken 50,000 light-years across the galaxy to take part in some power struggle for the throne of an interstellar empire. Also, the MC was awake for several hours waiting for Amicus in their room after their argument. I will say that it was weird for the MC to sleep that whole day after that night with Amicus. Made sense for Amicus because he wasn't exactly in the best physical or mental state, but the MC just had his body rejuvenated by the whole parent pantheon, so I imagine that this is probably the best shape his body has ever been in.

The response in the patreon comments also made me think that he would edit the ending a bit as well. However, with the patreon release of build 9 less than a week away, it is looking like he has abandoned those plans.

>>1632432
He must have some extensive edits then if he is putting them in the next build. I do hope that he at least edits the ending a bit to give us some insight regarding the MCs thought process when formulating his plan. From the moment he grabbed the nervo to the moment just before he jabbed Cassius with it, I thought he was going to use it on Cato. Cato told Cassius to set that thing to lethal, and I would guess that the MC doesn't have the knowledge to determine whether or not it was actually set to that. I doubt he would have used it on Cassius if he thought it was set to lethal, since as much as Amicus and Cassius fight and the issue with the imperial succession, it is clear that they still care very much about each other, so I doubt that Amicus would ever forgive the MC if he purposely killed Cassius. I really just want clarification as to what the MC's intent was in that moment. If we get that, I will be fine with the ending that we have, even if Cato should have been the target regardless of the nervo setting.

I also thought that the MC was gonna use the nervo on Cato. After all he seems far more the obvious target being the antagonist and all. I mean he was the one threatening MC, bullying Cassius, and assaulting Amicus. Cato didn't even take notice of the MC until he had zapped Cassius. So why not go for him? Yeah, I hope there might be a bit more of an explanation for MC's reasoning here.

The change in nervo setting is something I never thought about. I guess maybe Cassius didn't really wish to kill the MC so he never set it on lethal and merely put it on high level stun. Otherwise only the MC meddling with that would have changed that.

>maybe Cassius didn't really wish to kill the MC so he never set it on lethal and merely put it on high level stun
I can believe that. Cassius allegedly has a softer side he doesn't show the public, so it would make sense if he chose to ignore Cato and set the nervo to non-lethal. Maybe the "idiot" that Cato was referring to was actually Cassius and not the MC. I honestly feel kind of bad for Cassius right now. He was just as unwilling in the situation as Amicus was, even if it meant that the throne was his.

But yeah, the big problem right now with the ending of build 8 is that we just don't know for sure what the MC was thinking. Did he know it wasn't set to lethal? Did he actually intend to kill Cassius? The answer to that last question may affect the MC's relationship with Amicus depending on the answer, assuming that their immediate problems are dealt with by the end of the next build.

Keep in mind the "fight" was being recorded. MC taking out Cassius with the nervo on video fully exposes the sham and puts a wrench in Cato's plan.

Or maybe Cassius was just closer to the MC.

well, if cassious is dead then the throne is basically for amicus to take, seriously doubt that was marco's intention though, but no mater who he choosed to incapacitate the consequences are severe to say the least, for sure if cassiuos didn't liked marco before now he's really gonna hate him, and if cato survived (which i think he did considering he yelled the order to kill marco) i'm wondering what his next move is gonna be, don't thingk the recording on the "last trial" is usable considering cassious is unconscious, maybe disqualifying amicus for crown treason?, and i hope they adress the mistery of the humans with a little more detail.

That recording is the worrying part. Now, I think Cato is going to be dead by the end of the next build, or at least set up to die in the build after. But, in the event that he survives and somehow manages to incapacitate Amicus (probably with the help of Com), that recording could be damning for Amicus and the MC. All Cato would have to do is just broadcast the MC hitting Cassius with the nervo and Amicus mutilating Cato. He could spin it as a coup or something. Obviously Amicus would have no reason to attempt one since he had virtually no chance of losing the third trial, but that won't matter since Amicus can't exactly explain the context behind it without revealing that he broke the Prime Directive. There are so many ways this can play out in build 9, and it really all comes down to whether Cato lives, dies, or is imprisoned. I doubt the monitors or parents will intervene since the MC is a vessel for their divine will or whatever. Because of that, I expect the MC to be a much greater driver of the plot from this point on. He can't really finish Meera's work if he is just sitting on the sidelines.

Well, the only reason the wolves reconciled with their parent and rejoined the siblings was because of her relationship with Drusus and her sacrifice. Despite that, wolves remain isolationist, and only have diplomatic relations with the cats after the Khemian war. They also enslave child species instead of fully uplifting them, which I imagine goes against every ideal that the parents taught them. It seems that the parents want that to change, and have made the MC the instrument of their will. I don't know why they chose the MC, but it might tie into the mystery surrounding Earth and humanity. It makes me wonder if his relationship with Amicus was planned by them before Amicus even rediscovered Earth in the nexus.

Regarding Alex, I am more interested in seeing the MC's reaction when he sees that cat. I'm sure he is going to put everything together and realize that Alex was the one that revealed everything to Cato. If I was in the MC's shoes, my first reaction upon seeing him would be to punch him in the face.

He is clearly referencing the parent here. In that context, the laurel wreath on Cassius' head has me worried, while those chains have me confused. I wonder if this is just random promo art, or an actual in-game illustration.

It wasn't a bad update but it was certainly a short one.

We saw that Alexios and Neferu aren't exactly the Xanatos Gambit running people we thought, but we also learned that Virginia and Neferu have a Plan B for this colossal fuck up. Neferu could have handled that interaction with Cato better, but he did at least get video footage of Cato attacking a Khemian noble, which is a big NO. It'll definitely be used against Cato in the future.

While this update felt like a lot of setup for build 10, at least we have some interesting stuff to look forward to. Particularly, I am excited for that private conversation with Cassius. It's been a long time coming, and now that Cassius can't harm the MC without risking a war, I feel like that conversation will be pretty candid. Cassius will definitely ask about the triumvirates, and I wonder if we will be given a choice in what to tell him. It has been a while since we had a choice, and it seems like a good place to put one. Despite him being emperor now, we are told that the empire is still in chaos, so I'm guessing the parent hasn't made contact or fixed the stretch drive depletion, which is to be expected from what we know.

I kinda feel bad for Cassius. Practically everyone in a position of power, from the triumvirates and his own sister, to foriegn royalty like Neferu, to even the Gods, want him out of power. Cato still seems like he is the one making all the decisions, so at the moment he is little more than a puppet. The game was rigged against him from the very start, and I wonder how long it will take for him to realize it.

The cat is a liar, I'm sure of it. It's just too convinient. No way he doesn't have an agenda. He's a foreign diplomat and I'm absolutely certain he was left behind for a purpose. Perhaps chaos is his goal? Maybe he wants the Wolves and Jackals to be at war?

While other people think this update was on the "meh" side, i enjoyed it quite a bit. For the first time since the beginning, MC is truly alone. Amicus is no where to be seen this whole update as he got his ass handed to him and sent to the dungeon. You cannot really trust or rely on anyone, cassius is now emperor through underhanded rigging and will most likely be a political puppet for cato to enact war upon other siblings(as if his interaction with neferu wasn't clear enough). Virginia has her own motives to achieve and sees your presence as more of a set back to her plans, now that amicus is no longer emperor, We don't know what alexios' motives are but i find him much shadier than virginia due to the fact she wants to rise to a position in the triumvates quite transparent. Finally we the looming dread that is cato, he wants you dead, he possibly want's another war with the khemians too. Neferu did nothing but poke the hornets nest when talking to cato this update, and the worst thing is that he is within the same vicinity of MC. This update was nothing short of amazing.

Cassius realizing that the parents had to be the ones to save the MC would be cool, because it would show him that they already know what Amicus did. Trying to contact the parents through the MC would be pretty cool too, though I don't know how they would go about doing it. I like the idea of the MC working for Cassius to ensure Amicus' safety or something, but it would depend on what Cassius had him do. Only people in the highest levels of government know that the MC is fully sapient, so I can see Cassius using the MC as a spy of sorts on the triumvirates or something. I doubt he would use him on Virginia or Neferu, because I don't think he suspects them of trying to dethrone him at this point. However, I don't think that Cassius would go so far as to threaten Amicus' life to ensure cooperation. He seems to care for his brother even if he doesn't show it. Any threat to Amicus would probably come from Cato, and I wonder just how much power he still has over Cassius, and if Cassius even realizes it. A conversation between Cassius and the MC just seems so interesting, so I can't wait to see how that unfolds.

>>1636079
I feel like the MC can trust Neferu to an extent. Though he has his own goal in achieving an alliance, protecting the MC is something he would probably do at all costs to achieve that goal. An alliance with Cassius is impossible, so his only hope of achieving one is with Amicus on the throne. Amicus loved the MC enough to give up the throne in a rigged trial, so an alliance would look pretty unlikely if the MC comes to harm. That is probably part of the reason Neferu was so reluctant to let the MC take part in their plans. Aside from all that, he actually seems genuinely concerned for the MC's well being, which isn't surprising given where he comes from. Virginia, on the other hand, is more complicated. I don't think she had anything to gain by asking Cassius to let the MC see Amicus, but she did it anyway. I believe that she holds at least some of Amicus' ideals, while having Cassius' ruthlessness, ambition, and ability to rule. However, I believe that she would cast both Neferu and the MC aside if it brought her one step closer to her goal. For some reason, I feel like she is going to underestimate just how important the MC is to Amicus, and its gonna cause things to backfire.

That's the thing that makes me nervous because he has full control over Amicus contact and probably release for the moment, and of course he could take advantage on the feelings they have for each other (MC/Amicus) and really push it to the limit, i mean he loves his brother yet he releases to the public his sex video.

There is a difference between releasing a sex tape to sabotage his brother in their struggle for the throne, and actually threatening his life to ensure the MC's cooperation with whatever his goals at the moment are. Cassius seemed furious with Cato when he was beating Amicus to add "realism" to the fight, and Amicus himself said that Cassius used to look up to Amicus. That is probably still true to some extent, despite their obvious differences in personality and beliefs. Cassius being the emperor now is probably the only reason Amicus is still alive. Cato might still have a lot of power over Cassius' decisions, but I doubt even he can force an execution like that.

I thought it was pretty obvious what I meant by "meaningful interaction". They have yet to have a real conversation. And it isn't like it matters if he still suspects the MC or not regarding the triumvirates, since he is emperor now. Even before that, he wasn't hostile to the MC when he tried to talk to him in the city, and only got angry when he thought the MC was still playing stupid. The only thing he can really be mad over is getting hit with the nervo and breaking several bones. Yet, him being open to the idea of letting the MC see Amicus if they have their private talk suggests that if he is angry, he is willing to put that anger aside. The MC is in a postion to bring the empire to it's knees, so I think Cassius realizes that he needs to tread carefully.

Regarding what he wants to talk about, obviously the triumvirate situation is probably on that list. His lack of hostility towards the MC in the city makes me suspect that he isn't exactly convinced that the MC was the one to leak the info. He would also probably want to know about the MC himself, such as his species and homeworld, Earth's prior interactions with the wolves, as well as the specifics regarding his abduction. Knowing all of that would help him determine a course of action regarding a potential Monitor/Parent intervention. The status of Amicus and his fate will probably be brought up too.

Yeah I highly doubt there will be a scene with Neferu. Cheating just doesn't seem to be in the MC's character, and Neferu certainly wouldn't want to jeopardize an alliance by fucking the boyfriend of the guy who can make that possible, assuming they manage to get Amicus on the throne of course.

Yeah, it was a great conversation. I wouldn't really call it a redemption arc though. I think we are just seeing how he actually is. While he needed information from the MC, he didn't need to let him see Amicus when he is clearly afraid of Cato, and he most certainly didn't need to agree to make it a regular thing. He clearly cares about his brother, and I would go so far as to say that he wouldn't willingly harm the MC either. Regarding the "demons", we really don't know enough about the rest of the galaxy to speculate. He could have just been talking nonsense while high, or there really could be hostile life out there somewhere.

Or maybe he made contact with something a bit more hostile. From the first-hand experience that the MC has had with the parents, they seem to be benevolent, if distant and mysterious. Hardly "demons" in my opinion. The real question is why does Cassius need to smoke space DMT to talk to the parents when they were able to talk to the MC with no issues? Are humans latent psychics and the MC can just naturally receive their communications or something? The MC at least seemed to have much less of a negative reaction to that smoke than Cassius did, anyway.

I replayed through the "trial" and it seems the dialogue was edited to imply that Marco was intending to hit Cato with the nervo. Cassius turns around just as he goes to do it, though.

I don't know how to take Alex now that it has been pretty much confirmed that it was Virginia who leaked the information to the triumvirs. It seems like he's just a pawn in all of this, and just wants to be with Cassius, but at the same time he can't be trusted, so I'm unsure of what to make of him.

In regards to the parents and the space weed, maybe the dragon is able to contact Marco without it because humans were uplifted multiple times? Or maybe we are psychic? The "weed" didn't seem to affect Marco that much, which suggests either he's smoked before, or it doesn't have the same impact on humans as it does wolves. I like the idea that drugs can put you in contact with higher beings. People who try LSD often report odd phenomena, and micro dosing has been successfully tested as a treatment for multiple mental illnesses. My university actually did public micro dosing trials for depression a few years back. Apparently they went really well.

I still feel like Alex lied wen he was questioned by Marco, it just seemed like he was only trying to get him on a good side and lift suspicions about him....and well there's the part on the chat with Cassius that he only says others keeping names/s out of the conversation, there's a posibility that he's pulling strings with Cassius as well as Cato either separate or working together at some extent, what is clear now is that Cassius is not as bad as he initially was presented, i would say in a neutral way instead of an enemy for the moment, he may be using some sort of dealers technique that the first visit is free and the next ones you have to do something for me (hope not), as for Cato i want him to have a proper dialogue with Marco, he's hiding something and i guess he could drop the guard with him and hopefully get some evidence that puts him in the dungeons at the very least.

I like the idea that humans are repressed psychics, or at least have some special quality that sets them apart from the siblings. Humans are certainly unique it seems, but I'm not sure Howly is going go that crazy with it. Now that the MC got sucked into Cassius' meeting with the parents, I hope we get at least a few answers regarding humans and Earth.

>>1641519
I feel like Cassius is regretting pretty much everything at this point. I doubt he will use Amicus against the MC, and I suspect that they will actually be working together here soon depending on the outcome of the meeting with the parents. Regarding Cato, any private conversation with him is going to be incredibly hostile at best. I doubt the MC will be able to get information out of him without potentially ending up like Neferu or worse.

being realistic there's a chance that instead of having a joined parent talk Cassius won't be participating at all in it.

If he does my safest guess is that once again there won't be much information provided by papa dragon, other than finish the work of the tigress, clarified by Cassius later on after the whole oooooo you came to my planet because of my parent will! (sooner or later they have to jump in that conclusion).

Regarding Cato, i can understand the whole development so far, it's all because he want the best for his nation, i'm almost sure that he was the one who sabotaged the aircraft causing the death of the previous emperor...probably because he didn't agreed on the course of actions the emperor was taking (forming an aliance with the khemians and reformulating the actions taken with their children) cause again he consiered that was the best for adastra and probably the plot os gonna be similar but with his kids in case they don't listen to him, and he's probably not the only villian in the palace, Alex is still a little suspicious to me.

I'm also hoping for more relationship development between Marco and Amicus, i felt like the day that he resurected went a bit rushed, at least i feel like they need another day on the island and spend a full day just the two of them.

I'm not think it's just Cato and Alex. Verginia and Neferu are suspicious too. I see everyone in this game are on gray zone. Not black or white. Everyone have their own goals. It's politics thing after all.

ps. I don't trust Neferu because the record video. When Amicus have sex with him and when Cato attack him. To me, it's look like it's his plan to record those event. I mean, the son of the Pharaoh was fuck and was attacked by wolfs. That could make the khemians have the right in the galaxia's eye for sue the wolfs.

Well, Cassius inhaled far more of that shit than the MC, so it would be a little strange if he wasn't up there in space as well. It would be funny if he was there, but the parents hardly pay attention to him and focus on the MC. I feel like Cassius is going to find out that the MC is a critical part of some grand galactic plan and become a sort of ally, but I don't know if he is gonna be in on the specifics. The parent of the wolves seems to want Amicus on the throne judging from that one question several updates ago. I don't think Cassius would willingly involve himself in a plan that sees him out of power in the endgame. Then again, I am not sure he even wants to be emperor anymore now that he is essentially Cato's puppet, while also dealing with the revelation that at least some of his policies aren't feasible. He seemed sort of disillusioned during that meeting with the MC. All of this is, of course, assuming that they are actually about to meet with the parents. Cassius was obviously pretty fucked up when he stumbled out into the hallway, and clearly afraid of something. Considering he didn't show any apprehension when discussing this "traditional technique" of communication with the MC beforehand, I would assume that this isn't what typically happens. Something tells me that the beginning of the next update might be a lot darker than what we are used to.

Regarding Cato, I think he may be doing what is best for the empire at the moment just because this entire situation interferes with whatever plans he has. He clearly wants another war, which was almost a fatal miscalculation on the part of the MC and Neferu, and I definitely believe he was somehow involved in the death of the previous emperor. However, I am not sure he is going to be the endgame villain here. Cassius was rambling about demons while high on space drugs, and there is obviously some sort of galactic conspiracy surrounding Earth that is being hidden from the rest of the galaxy at large by what are essentially gods, so I wouldn't be surprised if shit begins to escalate far beyond some power struggle in the wolven empire.

And yeah, I really want to see more relationship development between Amicus and the MC, since they are really getting shafted in that department. In a span of a single week, they had a major argument after the MC caught Amicus with Neferu, sort of made up and then began a relationship the next day, where the MC contracted a terminal illness that left him brain dead in less than six or so hours. He then spent three days in a hellish nightmare, rose from the dead like fucking Jesus (not very subtle there on Howly's part lol), and spent a single intimate night with Amicus were they finally declared their love for each other. The very next day, Amicus gets thrown in the dungeons, and Cato wants them both dead. Another three days of this shit, and the MC sees him once for twenty minutes before being separated again. After Amicus gets out of the dungeons, which will hopefully be soon, I really would just like an entire update devoted solely to them spending time together. They both deserve it considering all the shit they have been through consecutively.

Really like the idea if Cato not being the only enemy and the posibility of an even more bigger threat is even better, maybe other parent is involved in a way as the dragon and manipulating events on his favour, like with the sick kid, i still find odd that between all the ones that were aproaching them the only sick one interacts with him.

Totally agree with the romance part the two of them can barely catch a break in all this, if it's not because of their moral compass is because of bad timing or certain events, or sickness etc, they need and deserve the palace for themselves for a whole week, also i hope haps make more scenes that happened like the kiss on the beach and the embracing on the couch.

Furrynomous 2019/09/12 04:43:22 No.1643873

Regarding Cassius current condition he's either overdosed with the fumes or someone altered the contact drug and it could've been lethal if he stayed any longer in there, my other not really realistic guess is that it was his very first contact attempt with the parent and panicked watching his form.

Taking that in consideration on what could happen either he gets a conversation with the parent that mc actually gets to remember along with some understanding of Cassius on the whole situation or they both alucinate some demon for a while and then Cassius is thankfull that mc saved him from the room full of gas.

will that be taken as some strategy from neferu/virginia?, if mc is closer to cassius the least he's gonna suspect of him, that considering he develops some sort of friendship with mc after all the drug thing.....or would neferu will conrinue with the video extorsion that mentioned earlier even if it's a dangerous gamble, one thing for sure is that it feels like there's gonna be some sort of alliance to take cato down, at least everyone has a reason to do so, cause i get the feeling that even if Cassius tells him that the alien was actually sent by the will of their own parent he will just not care and shake the hornet nest even more to have a war.

Who could possibly be idiotic enough to try and kill Cassius within the palace? There are exactly eight people in the palace, and one of them is Cassius himself while two others are imprisoned in the dungeon. Obviously we can rule out the MC, so that leaves four suspects, and none of them have a plausible reason to kill Cassius. Cato has Cassius under his thumb, making him the ideal puppet, and he has no viable alternative since he wouldn't be able to control Amicus, and Virginia is a woman. Virginia loves her brothers by her own admission and none of her behaviors so far suggest otherwise. Neferu killing Cassius would be the quickest way to start a war, which is the exact opposite of his stated goals at the moment. Alexios is his lover/pet, and even if he does have a hidden agenda, his feelings for Cassius are likely genuine as he had nothing to gain by telling that to the MC. Whatever drug Cassius is using is likely restricted to the emperor himself, so tampering with it would be almost impossible. If it did kill him, Com would likely be able to identify the culprit in the inevitable investigation since it monitors everything in the palace, which only Cato could presumably interfere with, but as mentioned previously he has no reason to do so at the moment.

I also doubt it was an overdose, since I feel like Cassius is an intelligent person who could avoid doing something foolish like that. While the drug obviously isn't DMT, it is clearly similar to it given that the MC made the connection. It is technically possible to overdose on DMT, but it is almost impossible to do so through smoke inhalation at doses necessary for ceremonial purposes. Also, if there was even the slightest chance that he could overdose, he would probably have medical drones on standby to provide aid if he needed it. This likely hasn't happened in the previous few times he has contacted the parents either, as he displayed nothing but minor annoyance at having to rely on this method to contact the parents when he was talking to the MC. Something clearly went horribly wrong, but an assassination attempt or an overdose seems unlikely. I know that there was quite a lot of smoke in that room, so maybe he did burn way too much, but wolves are also physically larger than humans and maybe they need that much for it to affect them. We won't know for sure what is going on until the next update, but something as simple as an overdose just seems off to me.

Cato is idiotic enough, it's actually a really good chance, he kills cassius and blame it on mc/amicus cause one of them attacked him and the toher one is a living risk of his home, since mc is a khemian now is gonna cause another war considering the promise that neferu made, plus he gets to be acting emperor again or even the new emperor, at least is how i see it, it's way better to have the power to yourself than manipulating the power from the shadows, cause in the end we don't know the full amount of influence that cato have over cassius it's a loose end from my point of view he probably won't do what cato wants all the time.

If Cato wanted Cassius dead, he would have killed him before he bothered putting him on the throne. He also would have used a method of assassination that was sure to succeed. Cassius was able to get up and walk out of the meditation room. Pretty pitiful assassination attempt if you ask me.

>>1644087
Judging from Patreon comments and likes alone, this VN is far more popular than Echo. It is certainly my favorite VN, even though it is linear. We have only had like three choices so far, and the last one was quite a while ago. Amicus is the only route that is going to be in this VN, so if you like giant wolfmen with muscleguts and hearts of gold, then you will love this. The mix of sci-fi, ancient cultures, and political intrigue is very engaging, and it is certainly less soul-crushing than Echo is.

Furrynomous 2019/09/13 02:20:20 No.1644123

I liked Echo at the start but the routes became too messy and convoluted for me. The dating/romance elements also didn't really materialise, especially with TJ, and the routes became far too depressing to play, especially after certain reveals, which ruined several characters for me. I hope TSR is a single route rather than multiple, because Howly is much better at writing when things are relatively simple.

At this point it is obvious that it is MC who is a Monitor. He had become an agent of Parents without his own knowledge.
In the end this status would probably be something that would allow him to travel from Earth back to Adastra whenever he likes to.
Parents would need to provide him with a ship though.

I'm not sure about that. Monitors are like galactic policemen it seems, and the MC is clearly the victim here. It would be an interesting twist considering the parent's question about Amicus' ability to rule. I'm not opposed to the idea if Howly explains it well, but I just find it rather unlikely with the information we currently have to work with. I'm hoping we get some answers in the beginning of the next update.

I find that hard to believe. Amicus said that Cassius had started gathering political support a few years before their father died. He had been planning to challenge Amicus for a while, but neither of them suspected that it would be so soon. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Cassius finds that he no longer wishes to be emperor in the coming updates.

Amicus lacks anything resembling sense, and often ignores potential issues until after they become serious problems. He told the MC on the island that he noticed that Cassius was building support among the people, but didn't do anything about it because he thought he would have time to deal with it. Obviously he was wrong as his father died in a suspicious shuttle crash and Cassius immediately issued a challenge. This is obviously something that he has been planning for quite some time. Cassius and Amicus both love the empire and their people, but they have vastly different beliefs in how they can bring back the empire from the brink of collapse. Of course, now Cassius is beginning to realize that Amicus was right all along. Not that it matters, since Cassius is more or less a puppet of Cato it seems. While we really only have those few snippets of dialogue implying that Cassius is not in complete control, the fact that he can't save his own brother from execution despite theoretically being the most powerful person on the moon is rather telling. I can see him abdicating to either Amicus or Virginia if the opportunity presents itself. He might be more diligent than his brother, but the throne doesn't really seem to suit him.

I wonder if this is part of the illustration for this month's update. The quote above that he posted with this WIP is from a song that deals with the unstable nature of fame and glory, and how it can all vanish in a blaze. Considering that illustrations are generally from the MC's POV or at least his general proximity, I can only imagine that Alexios is looking at the MC here, and perhaps blames him for something. Alexios doesn't look hostile, exactly, but be certainly does not look happy. That is a rather cold expression on his face. Maybe Cassius actually was more fucked up than we expected, or he has been removed from power somehow. The beginning of the next update is really gonna be wild.

Speak of the devil, it seems we are getting a delay after all, but on Howly's end. He had some issues with build 10 and a lot of revisions must be made, apparently. According to him, we will be getting a lot of answers in this build. New release date for patreons is the 30th.

He left us with this teaser though. Apparently the parents are definitely tired of the wolves' shit and are trying to keep them from destabilizing the entire galaxy, and the MC really is the chosen one who can save them all or something. Considering the speaking parent is being so candid about how the wolves are poised to fuck up everything for everyone, I doubt Cassius is present for this exposition. Either the parent is keeping him out of the conversation to have a moment alone with the MC, or he simply doesn't care that Cassius is present at all since it is clear that he is little more than Cato's puppet and has no power to actually bring about the change that the parents want to see. Or he actually just straight-up died or is in the process of dying because of what happened at the end of the last update. The mystery surrounding Earth seems like something that will be dealt with near the end of the VN in my opinion, so I doubt we will get many answers there, but I do believe that we will at least get a few hints as the fact that the MC is human is at least part of the reason why the parents have an interest in him. As long as the MC takes on a more active role in events on the moon, I'll be happy. We saw a bit of that with him attempting to stop Cato and during his conversation with Cassius, and I expect to see a lot more if the parents are literally entrusting him to save the galaxy. He can't really be expected to sit back and watch from the sidelines now that the millions of lives in the Galaxias and quite possibly the billions of lives on Earth are hanging in the balance and it all rests on him to make things right.

Hype for the next update has increased tenfold and now we gotta wait until monday. At least Howly is being upfront and honest about why he needs to delay things. A lot of other writers and artists wouldn't give a fuck.

I kinda want to see the MC get short with the parents. If I went through all this shit and was told by a space dragon that the fate of the galaxy was in my hands, I'd first ask why the fuck he couldn't do anything about it instead. Like, the parents are essentially Gods to the siblings. If he came down from heaven on high and told the wolves to get their shit together or be abandoned, I bet that they would fall in line. I hope we get an explanation as to why they are relying on some random human to stop the coming collapse instead of directly intervening. Other than Cassius' "demon" comment, we really have no indication that there is some other behind-the-scenes threat that is preventing them from taking action.

So there is some bad news mates. Build 10 for Adastra has been delayed again to October 5th. In addition to that, Adastra updates will be going on a one month hiatus so Howly can focus on the Smoke Room and also deal with his writers block, which means that October will not have an update outside of September's delayed update. He is, however, suspending October's payment so subscribers won't be charged.

Here is a WIP for a build 10 illustration. I'm guessing that Virginia and the MC are in some sort of archive/library.

So because of the delay, I have decided to replay through the entire VN since I have only ever played it an update at a time and I thought a refresher would be nice. I'm at the part where the MC is in his dorm room in Rome just before Amicus drops in and abducts him. He mentions this dream, which I find a little strange. If the dream wasn't important, I don't think we would have gotten a description at all, but he mentions dreaming about a portal or something similar, which is more than a little odd. This comment seems so out of place by itself, so I feel like this is gonna mean something at some point, especially since this is also right when he notices that burning rubber smell that he was reminded of when he smelled that smoke during Cassius' communication ritual. He also mentions something physically moving within his dorm room, yet this is before Amicus had shown up.

Without context, the smell and the dream seem rather nonsensical and the dream itself seems like a pointless addition to pad the text. But taken together with information that we have now, along with the fact that something was physically moving in his dorm room, it seems almost like evidence that the parents were communicating with the MC before he even met Amicus, possibly even physically apparating. Maybe this is what the portal "dream" was about. The parent(s) physically appeared before the MC through a portal, which created the smell of burning rubber, which, interestingly enough, is what burning ozone can smell like after oxygen interacts with electrical discharges. And, like every other instance of communication with the parents that we know of, the memory of this event was repressed. If this is true, how long has this been going on? Did they decide to appear before the MC after Amicus had selected him, or has the MC been part of their plans for quite some time?

I have also noticed that some of these "visions" that the MC has have a very different tone from the others. For example, the vision while sleeping in Amicus' room the first night is described by the MC as a "borderline nightmare", and the entity that contacts the MC is apparently limited in what he/she/it can ask. That seems like an odd statement coming from one of the parents, considering they seemingly control everything so there is no reason why they should be limited at all. In this vision, the MC feels like he is set on a path with no choice and it terrifies him. This is different from the vision on the ship where the MC feels completely safe and secure by whatever presence is there with him, who comforts him with the knowledge that "everything is as it should be". I am getting the feeling that two very different groups of entities are contacting the MC. One obviously has to be the parents, but the other one is more mysterious. Perhaps they are the "demons" Cassius mentioned? Of course, it is possible that I am looking too much into this, but I just thought I would point out the drastic shift in tone from these two visions and others like them.

I hope these details are explained when Papa Dragon gives his exposition dump. I crave answers, and the month-long hiatus is going to be painful enough if this update ends on another cliffhanger that leaves use with more questions than answers.

It looked odd to me as well, but at first i though it was because Mc wasn't used to having contact with the parent.....then it made me wonder if it really was the same entity talking with Mc all the time cause it doesn't really have the same tone everytime, maybe and just maybe he's either talking with some monitors at first or to another parents.

is there someone screaming on the virginia ilustration?? or is it just a statue of some sort, she doesn't seem amused at all on that scene hope all went well with ultra stoned Cassius.

I am, Amicus just feels so one-dimensional at this point based on his writing, he's just a loyal dog to his master

I can't wait for someone else to romance who has more depth to them then just "Human I kidnapped tased me, now we love each other because I like him more than a pet"

I want to have sex with Alexios in the garden he so meticulously takes care of like it's a part of himself after a long day of tending to it together, I want to fool around with Neferu and partake in his silly atmosphere and pass the day throughout the palace causing mischief and the like under the protection of our sovereignty as foreign royalty, I want to dine with Virginia and match wits as we see who has the superior intellect before we wrestle with one another in her bedroom seeing how smart she can be when she struggles to let anything out of her mouth other than moans

Please, anything else but the "bara wolf who's normally dumb as rocks when it comes to social customs but uh oh he's actually a 300IQ individual and is smarter than he lets on" trope

Pretty sure that "screaming" figure is just a statue of a dragon, either the parent himself or just a generic representation of the Romanus.
>>1651987
There is nothing about Amicus' character that suggests that he is more intelligent than he let's on. He has consistently made very questionable decisions that pretty much every character, including the MC, attributes to a lack of intelligence or at least a lack of common sense. I wouldn't call him idiotic, since he taught himself how to fly the emperor's shuttle and he clearly has a competent understanding of the state the empire is in as well as ideas on how to fix it, but I certainly wouldn't call him a "300 IQ" individual. To call him one-dimensional because he fell so quickly and easily for the MC is also rather ridiculous. He has lived his entire life in a sheltered palace, so I doubt he has had the opportunity to make many friends. Indeed, there has been no mention of him having any friends besides the MC and Alexios, and any that he had in the past were probably lost after he was outed to the entire moon. He is clearly socially starved judging from his own behavior and comments made by the MC. The MC is obviously one of the few positive relationships he has, so I can see why he would develop such strong feelings for him.

I can understand why Amicus fell in love with the MC so easily. Like most royals, he's socially stunted due to how he's been raised and feels alone. He probably also lost a lot of friends after he was outed. When you want to escape a situation, it can make you do funny things and react differently. To me, Amicus stole the shuttle and kidnapped the MC because he wanted to escape the situation he was in. Falling in love with the MC was a natural development of that. A lot of depressed people have fantasies like these. Wouldn't it just be so much easier if you were whisked away by a cute furry alien to a life of adventure and exploration? If I had the choice, I'd probably end up staying on the moon. I wouldn't mind so long as I could still visit my family every now and again. Think about what you'd do if you were in the MC's situation. Both Amicus and the MC are very well written characters. Their motivations are genuine. Both clearly wanted more than they had, so no wonder they fell in love with each other.

I also meant to say that I understand where Howly is coming from with his OCD. I've written things before, and depending on your mood, you can quickly turn to hate what you previously thought was an amazing piece of writing. Perfectionism is a killer, particularly for people with OCD, because as their minds change and their skills develop, past works can suddenly look like shit compared to newer works. For example, I was very proud of the assignments I wrote in first year. Now I think they're terrible. My reaction to the assignments I wrote in second year is the same. Indeed, I've even started to see a piece of personal writing I finished recently as shit, when a few weeks ago I was proud of it and happy with how it turned out. I don't know what the solution is. Howly seems to be able to refocus himself if he works on something else for a while, so he's best off doing that.

I really hope there is a happy ending where Amicus and the MC can stay together, either on Earth or Adastra. Best ending I can think of at the moment would have Virginia on the throne and Amicus serving as the wolves' ambassador to Earth after it is reintroduced to the galactic community. I wouldn't even want to experience an ending where they are separated forever. That would be way too depressing.

I doubt any of the siblings uplifted in sub-saharan Africa. All of the uplifted civilizations were incredibly advanced, and that part of Africa quite honestly did not have civilizations on the level of Rome, Greece, or Egypt. I'd say the Lions uplifted Sumeria, as lions are very important in their mythology. This also would make them one if the first, if not THE first to attempt an uplift on Earth. I'm gonna guess that Bears uplifted nordic or proto-nordic civilization, or at the very least some Germanic one. Idk who the Rams might have uplifted, maybe the ancient Phoenicians? As for the unknown sibling, I would say China.

He has to be bluffing. He's not going to refuse the MC if he really wants it and Amicus knows full well that anal is a big thing between a lot of gay partners. Politically and socially, I can see why he would refuse. An emperor needs to project an image of power, and in Roman culture, the passive partner was considered dishonourable and weak, while the active partner was considered manly and strong. Honestly, the implication has me a bit worried. If he's willing to fuck the MC but not be fucked himself, it suggests he doesn't see the MC as an equal, socially or politically. It suggests he sees the MC as a pet or a slave for his own pleasure rather than his partner.

>Amicusâ€™ very first sketch VS him now

So, I've been thinking of that vision that the MC had in the archive. As mentioned earlier, it is probably a vision of the MC's death, either by his hand or the hand of another. Now, putting aside for a moment the disturbing implications that arise from the parents practically coercing the MC into submitting to their will by showing him this vision, this scenario has obvious parallels with what happened with Meera and Drusus. Meera took her own life so that Drusus wouldn't choose her over the future of his people, so we can only assume that this is what is happening in that vision between the MC and Amicus. However, the MC has already fallen deathly ill previously, and I doubt Howly would play the same card twice, so I am at a loss as to what situation Amicus can be put in where the parents give him the same ultimatum that they gave Drusus; save the one he loves from certain death, or save his empire and his people from abandonment. And clearly the MC made the same choice that Meera did, and took his own life because Amicus would never choose to let him die if he could prevent it.

Now, supposedly this culmination events will only occur if the MC refuses to submit to the "benevolent" will of the Parents. Normally this would raise immediate red flags for me as this seems sketchy at best, but I've actually begun to think that submission isn't what they really want. The Parents can see the future and branching timelines to an extent, and use this ability to govern the galaxy by manipulating events over centuries or millennia to reach an optimal outcome. This ability has obvious limitations, especially when a species acts too independently or belligerently like the wolves have done multiple times. The Monitor said that they can still see the correct path, but what if, this time, they actually CAN'T? What if every possible series of events that they see leads to the inevitable, unavoidable collapse of galactic civilization? This is where humans come into play. We are told that something is wrong with humans in some way, as every one of the siblings tried and failed to uplift Earth. Yet, we are also told that humans are "more than capable", unlike presumably every other abandoned child race, and that the Parents collectively realized that humans would have to wait until the events that are presently unfolding on Adastra to have a place in the Galaxias. It seems odd that the Parents would entrust so much to a member of a species that is evidently flawed at some fundamental level, but they seem to imply that whatever "flaw" humans have would become a strength in this specific instance.

My theory is that the Parents find it frustratingly difficult or even impossible to predict human behavior, and this disrupts their ability to predict the future. It took them eight failed uplift attempts to even figure out a plan for humanity, while every other child race is usually completely abandoned after a single failed attempt (excluding recent attempts by the Khemians of course). I base this theory on human legend and myth, which is filled with stories of men and women who refused to submit to the will of the Gods or God, usually due to a strong sense of independence or free will, and one of the earlier vision that the MC had, where he felt that his actions were being predetermined and that he had no free will, and that thought alone terrified him. If my theory is correct, humans presented the Parents with a similar problem that they have with the wolves, but dialed to 11. If the Parents really can't find a way to prevent the coming collapse, humans, specifically the MC, might be their last resort. Maybe they manipulated events to unfold such as they did so that the MC would be brought to Adastra to find a "path" that they can't see. Similar to how in Babylon 5 where most species can only choose the correct path though the dimension they use for FTL around 50% of the time due to quantum mechanics bullshit, yet only humans are able to choose the correct path almost 100% of the time by utilizing "gut feelings". If this is true, then I am betting that submitting to them will result in that tragic vision coming to fruition, like it did with Meera, and the parents are secretly hoping that the MC will do what humans have been doing for millennia; reject the will of Heaven and divine providence to find his own path forward, except this time it will lead to salvation rather than damnation.

Whatever the case may be, I made a save just before that choice. It felt far too important not to.

I wasn't talking about Amicus refusing to bottom because he might be exclusively a top. I am concerned he will refuse because he's royalty, an emperor, and sees himself as your social and political superior. Remember that the wolves are Romans. The emperor is a semi-sacred near-absolute ruler, and supreme commander of the armed forces. He's not supposed to take it in the ass or consider anyone, even his partner, his equal. Amicus adopting or buying into those practices is what concerns me. The emperorship could change him.

I think he is just masking his insecurities. At this point, I don't think there is much that he would not do for the MC. Hell, he gave up an empire to protect him, so I think that the MC could convince Amicus to bottom if he really wanted to. You are acting like becoming the emperor is going to change his entire character and attitude towards the MC. Not even Cassius changed that much, if anything he has become tolerable.

>'Nother brick in the wall

Amicus looks like he is in a robe here (Haps says it isn't a robe, but it doesn't look like his usual attire either). He also looks younger and thinner. There also appears to be something or someone behind him just out of frame to the right, and that blue and gold thing he uses to clasp his cloak looks like it might be attached to whatever is behind him rather than himself, but it's hard to tell, might just be the angle. Maybe it is a family portrait from the past? He seems to be unusually serious.

It says Cato for me too. Pretty sure Howly knows about it.

Speaking of Cato, he is the only character who hasn't had an extended conversation with the MC after he dropped the primitive primate act. I I hope we get a moment like that soon, I can imagine how tense it would be.

Neferu strikes me as the kind of guy who really wants nothing more than casual encounters. While he genuinely seems to care about the MC, you can't deny that at least part of that is politically motivated. He needs to keep the MC safe to stay in Amicus' good graces, and he needs Amicus for the alliance, which he seems to be pursuing out of personal glory rather than a genuine desire for peaceful relations. He seems to view Adastran society with contempt and makes every attempt to let that view be known. Much of his personality seems like it is all an act as well, we got hints of that on the island.

Honestly, the only genuine people in the palace are Amicus and Cassius. Both have radically different personalities, but what you see with them on the surface is pretty much what you get all the way down.

Furrynomous 2019/10/11 06:24:46 No.1655958

After playing through this last update I've gotta say I really like the new layers of personality we got for Neferu. While we pretty much knew Neferu's seeking the alliance was for his gain and now we see it seems mostly for recognition. Thanks to Alex we get more information as apparently Neferu has several more siblings who have managed to achieve more prestige than he has. My guess he rested on his laurels for too long as they maneuvered around him and Neferu now seeks to make his own mark in history. Perhaps he also a bit of fatherly issues and seeks his approval while his older brother was getting more attention being groomed to take over.

I also quite enjoyed the forceful stance the MC took with Neferu and Virginia. It was nice seeing him stand up for himself. Though its got me wondering just who really was involved in the death of the Emperor. I mean Cato does seem like a likely candidate. Mayhaps he felt his old friend was getting too soft for the good of the empire and thought he could mold his successors better. Cato's hatred for Khemians could have also played a factor. Then of course there is also the Triumvirates if they are corrupt and seek to keep their power in the status quo then they too could have also been the culprits. After all if the investigation was botched they could have had a hand in that.

Yet I couldn't help but wonder if maybe Virginia may have played a part. After all she does have her own ambitions and she does seek to prove that females are as capable as any other. So maybe she was the culprit who assassinated their father? She is the smartest of the three siblings and her intelligence could give her the ego to make a play for the throne kinda like a Petyr Baelish working things behind the curtain of civility and loyalty to the Emperor.

That latest vision could be of the MC discovering the truth and Virginia having to get her hands dirty and get rid of him. About the vision I also have an odd feeling about the whole trust the parents and this won't happen thing. I mean my instinctive reaction was to answer "No" and it leaves me wondering how much of a difference it will play in things to come.

>>1655958
If she assassinated her father, I doubt she would be so willing to cooperate with a clandestine investigation into his death, especially to the point of providing the MC and Neferu with information pertinent to his death. Cato might be a little obvious, but Virginia actually seems to care for her family even if she is working to dethrone Cassius. If she didn't, she could just as easily assassinate Cassius, Amicus, Cato, and anyone else who stands in her way, and then blame it all on any of the three aliens who are residing in the palace.

>About the vision I also have an odd feeling about the whole trust the parents and this won't happen thing

I mentioned a few days ago
>>1654699
that I believe that the parents actually want the MC to think on his own here. Maybe in addition to fixing the situation with the wolves, this also serves as a test of humanity and possibly the rest of the Galaxias in general. The parents did mention that the galaxy needs to learn on its own, and it can't really do that if everyone is blindly following the will of some extradimensional "gods". I think following whatever plan that they have by submitting to their will serves as some sort of failsafe that ends with the MC's death, just like how following the parents plan presumably ended in the death of Meera, which would serve as a temporary fix at best.

Here is this months patreon schedule. Public release on the 18th, and no new build this month, which was expected. He will probably stick to the schedule we are familiar with in November so that he doesn't throw other updates outta wack, so I am guessing that we can expect build 11 around Thanksgiving

Alright, so the public update for Build 10 is out, with a few changes. Most are grammar and spelling fixes, but there are a few notable ones. First, Howly fixed a flag issue with the decision prompt during the archive scene. It is suggested that everyone play through the scene and make their choice again to avoid errors in the coming updates. Second, there is revised dialogue with Amicus in the dungeons. It is still a short scene, but the changed dialogue really improves the scene in my opinion.

Pictured is the promo art for this build, and the following images are from Haps' NSFW twitter, featuring Amicus with a certain anatomical change

I disagree, the design they went with is just fine in my opinion. Amicus with an anatomically correct wolfcock would make sex between him and the MC an even more difficult prospect than it already is. Even more so if they had Amicus decide to just ram the knot in there like in the vast majority of furry comics and shit instead of having it inflate while already inside, which is actually what is supposed to happen.

>get to pic related in the narrative

Just how long has the MC been on Adastra? Last time that the MC thought about how long he had been there, just before the second trial, he mentioned that it had been around one Adastran month, or around a little over three weeks on Earth if I remember correctly. Right after this was the trial and the sickness, and then three days passed where the MC was in a coma. After that, Amicus was thrown in the dungeons, and three days later was the audience with Cassius and meeting the Monitor. Another three days pass until this particular scene in the archives. Doesn't really seem to add up to many months worth of time, does it?

I don't think anal would even be possible with a canine-penis. You'd have to keep the knot outside and that means you don't get the full experience. You might not even be able to cum without putting it inside. Canines get most of their stimulation after they knot their partner and trying to pull out. The friction and tension on the base of the knot is what makes them orgasm. The base of the knot is apparently a canines most sensitive area. Dashwood's character owner's character sheet says that a canine can inflate and orgasm just from gripping the base of the knot for a few minutes. Canine females accomplish this through rhythmic contractions around the base of the knot, which the anus might not be capable of. I'm not experienced with anal so I honestly don't know. The best thing you could probably hope for would be sticking it in as far as the knot and then massaging yourself to orgasm. There was an image on e621 that depicted something like that but it's buried in the results, assuming it's still even there.

>>1660088

This is getting popular. Hopefully it will convince Howly to expand the universe. There are other stories that could be told, and a lot of people seem to prefer this to Echo, which isn't surprising given how depressing it is. I'll always personally like Echo because it was one of the first VNs I played and I like the characters, the world, and the supernatural elements, but Adastra is more enjoyable to play, and I'm professionally a Greek and Roman classicist and personally big sci fi fan.

I think what the other posters are trying to get at here is that giving Amicus anatomically correct genitalia isn't necessary, especially considering that a hulking 7 foot tall wolfman isn't exactly anatomically correct in the first place. It is really nothing but fetish-fuel, honestly, and it is rather refreshing to see furry art that isn't just knots everywhere.

When the MC said that he needs to talk with Amicus about something that the parents showed him, I imagine that he is referring to the vision in the archives specifically, but it would be cool to see him tell Amicus everything about his visions he has had while on Adastra. I wonder if he is going to reveal to Amicus that the Parents, through the Monitor, gave him what was essentially an ultimatum, or if the dialogue will be different depending on the choice made. Amicus doesn't strike me as particularly "religious" in their sense outside of his desperate prayers for the MC and his respect for the ideology of the parents, but we are talking about what are essentially his gods here. I don't think he will be too happy if the MC straight-up told the Monitor "no", ESPECIALLY after he was vaguely shown what would happen if he refused. At this point, I think that any course of action that would put the MC in danger would send him into a rage. We saw what happened when he thought that the MC had no hope of recovery, and his reaction to finding out that the MC was still on Adastra. I am sure that he would be willing to do anything to prevent himself from suffering a loss like that again.

If it wasn't for this hiatus, we would probably be getting build 11 at the end of this week. Oh well, I suppose a month-long break is better than Howly burning out or going insane from writers block/OCD.

The card game have "Light vs Dark" system. One player is Light, another player is Dark. I use to play this kind of system card game before when I was a child. It use a filp coin to see who light who dark. If you are Light you can't play a card from Dark. So balace your deck is good. But if you want to make pure light or dark, you can. Their a card that can switch attiture of the player. (but beware that the other player can switch back too.)

Naw, that "Dark Anicus" was made just to fit in with the light/dark theme of that game. Regarding what he would do if the MC dies, I would say it depends on how it happens. If the MC commits suicide like Meera in order to save the wolves from abandonment, then I picture Amicus ruling as well as he can despite his sorrow because that is what the MC would want. However, if the MC dies in some pointless tragedy, like at the hands of an assassin or something, then I can see Amicus killing himself. He was in the process of drinking himself to death when the MC was brain dead. I imagine his reaction would be so much worse if the MC bled out and died in his arms, fully aware that no miracle would bring him back this time. Either way, I don't really picture him becoming a tyrant. It's just not in his character.

I know Amicus is the canon choice and probably the best choice for a long term relationship, but Neferu is just so alluring. He'd be great as a fuck buddy and best friend. I wonder if Howly will consider more titles in the Adastra universe. Maybe one that focuses on Neferu or the Khemians in general. A game which focuses on political intrigue and shifting relationships in which you advance yourself by doing sexual favours for them would be really hot and fit well into what we've been shown of Khemian culture and society.

"Best friend" seems a bit iffy, considering that we have probably seen very little of his true personality, as the MC alludes to after the confrontation with Alexios. While he seems friendly to the MC, I don't know how much of that is genuine care and how much is because the MC's well-being is crucial to his plans to secure an alliance. While I don't think he would throw the MC under the bus if it benefited him, I also don't think he would be as friendly if he wasn't playing politics.

And I have no doubt that Howly will consider more titles. Adastra is clearly more popular than Echo ever was even though there is just a single route. I'd like to see one set on Earth if humanity officially joins the Galaxias at the end of this, maybe this time with multiple routes.

Yeah, it's gonna be great when he gets out. It would be nice if it happens next update since there is only so long that the narrative can keep him locked up, but I doubt it will be as simple as him getting freed by Cassius. Neferu mentioned that their backup plan is the challenge by combat, which is a fight to the death. This is essentially Chekhov's Gun, so I fully expect that this will happen at some point. However things play out, I am expecting a confrontation with Cato in the next update, especially if they release that footage for the moon to see. He is the only character that has yet to have any meaningful verbal interaction with the MC, and the aftermath of the footage being released would be a great time to have it.

Not yet. It isn't midnight where Howly lives, and he usually either posts it at the last possible minute, hours later, or announces a delay, though usually if there was gonna be a delay he would have said so by now. It's possible that it might not be out until sometime tomorrow.

Also, there is no way that they are gonna be able to convince Cato no matter what Cassius thinks or power he believes he has. If Amicus gets out in this update, I feel like some sort of violence is gonna make that happen.

It all makes sense that what Cato did to Cassius confirms that Cato had killed their father to assume the throne. Up until this point, he waited patiently for the cubs to grow up and once that happens, he can start overruling their status or if necessary "eliminate" them. However everything changed when the MC shows up. Cato sees him as a threat despite having the knowledge that the MC is capable of having psychic links to the parents. Ultimately, stopping Cato from getting the throne. And now, Cato is framing the MC of a crime he did not commit. What an tyrannical acting emperor, indeed. Let the waiting for the next Adastra update commence!!!

For me this update kinda killed any attraction I had for him. His demeanor when you first entered his bedroom had me worried that he was going to try and force himself on the MC. Then he actually started treating him like a slave while also stating that he needed to use more simplistic sentences when talking to him. Now I know that he was drunk, but that doesn't excuse him at all, and I would have a hard time forgiving him if I was in the MC's position no matter what sob story he blubbered out.

Alex fucked up HARD, but we still don't really know his intentions here even this late into the narrative. All that we know is that, for unknown reasons, he is playing both sides while also trying to keep the Wolves isolated from the rest of the galaxy, presumably to preserve the "peace". Whatever his motivations were previously, odds are he is going to be out for Cato's blood assuming he survived that bitch slap (I believe he did, it would be a silly way to kill him off in my opinion). In fact, Alex may be the key to fixing everything. As far as we know, Cato is unaware that Cassius gave Alex full, unrestricted access to the archives. If Cato knew, he would also probably know about the fact that the MC is no longer able to be targeted by the drones and is essentially a ghost as far as palace defenses go. It is possible that Alex may still have full access, and if so, they can use it to erase Amicus' security profile as well, along with the security profiles of everyone else in the palace, since I am assuming that the main cast is going to be teaming up in the next updates to take Cato down. After all, the MC is not Solid Snake, so I doubt he can get Amicus out alone even if he is a security blindspot.

What I really want to know is what the people believe regarding all of this. We know they are rioting like Irishmen after a lost football game if we can see the fires from the palace, and this is happening in every major population center on the moon. Honestly, my first glance at that image made me think that a nuke went off in the city. Are they rioting because they believe Cato and are infuriated that a child pet poisoned the emperor? Or are they rioting because they don't believe Cato and these "riots" are actually the beginnings of a civil war? They still don't know exactly what happened to Amicus, so it must seem pretty suspicious to them that Cato declared himself emperor if there is still a male heir of the dynasty that can inherit the throne.

Whatever the case may be, it seems at the moment that the final showdown is gonna be a deathmatch between Amicus and Cato, which will be wild since we have never seen Amicus come even close to beating him in a fight. Even without his sight he is still able to quickly zero in on individuals around him, so I'm not too sure about Amicus' odds here. I, personally, think it would be kino if the MC somehow managed to kill Cato. Cato has so far underestimated the MC at every turn, so I can see it happening.

I don't think Cato poisoning cassius was that planned out. Cato would have been fine pulling the strings from the shadows as his advisors. My guess is that due to alex snitching, he went off the rails cause his position of power is in jeapordy. If getting rid of the male heirs was his goal he could have done so at the staging of the 3rd trials. He could have just killed cassius and framed amicus and MC and they would be executed or killed. So him doing this is very last minute and if he was to succeed both MC and amicus would be executed on his order as emperor and he could usurp the thrown in one fell swoop and probably take virginia as a wife as well.

Furrynomous 2019/11/22 02:30:06 No.1674601

>>1674327
I disagree. He was clearly infuriated when Amicus won the second trial. Amicus is stubborn and independent, and Cato would have found it very difficult to control him the way he controlled Cassius. I have no doubt that he would have assassinated Amicus just as he assassinated the previous emperor, and we know he was pushing for Cassius to execute Amicus because he was still a threat.

And I never claimed that getting rid of the male heirs was his original goal. My only mention of the heirs in that post was in relation to whether or not the people believe Cato. As I said, they have no idea what happened to him, so Cato taking the throne must seem highly irregular to them since Amicus should become emperor in the event of Cassius' death.

Furrynomous 2019/11/22 05:07:27 No.1674698

>>1674698
I am hoping that this is the case. The people rioted when the Triumvirates decided that Amicus was the winner of the second trial, but we are still talking about elected representatives being ousted from power. We were told that the people were already unsettled about how Cato banned all talk of Amicus, so if public opinion was already against him, we can reasonably conclude that these riots are against him as well. I for one would certainly be suspicious if the former acting emperor banned all talk of the heir presumptive and shortly thereafter declared himself emperor after the assassination of Cassius. Like, the assassination of an emperor is a rather serious event, but Adastra City seems more like a warzone if the fires are visible from the palace. I feel like it would be rather dumb if they are rioting because they believe Cato and are angry that this could happen, since it would make the wolves seem more violent and unstable than they already appear to be, which goes against everything that Amicus told the MC in the dungeons.

I really hope that Cato gets dragged from the palace by a mob, beheaded, and thrown in the lake in a good old fashioned Roman mob revolt. If the footage of Cato faking the trial and assaulting Neferu, and the knowledge that he assassinated the previous emperor all comes out, which, judging by the riots, might have already happened, he is fucked. It's not too far fetched to assume that if Cato is the one who killed the emperor, he is also the one who poisoned Cassius.

I really, really, hope that Cassius is okay. Virginia did what she could, but we don't know if it was enough. Cassius might be proud and arrogant, but he's a good guy underneath and doesn't deserve to die. The Parents seem to believe everything will turn out okay in the end, and they helped Marco, so hopefully they will help Cassius too.

I hope Amicus and the others come out of this okay. Neferu and Virginia are good people deep down. Alex might have set the events in motion, but by showing up Cato as a tyrant, he might have inadvertently sealed his fate. There's no way he's coming back from this. Even if the people can't remove him from power, the Parents should be able to. Alex clearly loves Cassius, and as Marco himself says, did not think things would go as far as they did. Perhaps he can redeem himself later on.

well, marco at least have the advantage of being invisible to the drones so he's safe from that part from now, i'm a bit worried about Neferu though he's not welcome at all now that Cato proclaimed his emperorship....if anything the breakfast scene was recorded isn't it?, so maybe they can use that scene as more solid evidence of Cato's true colours...not that the other videos they have are least evidential though.

I'm positive that alex is going to help the gang from now on as revenge on the old wolf, even so Cato has so much power now that he disbanded the triumvirates so the only way possible to kick him off the power would be a challenge to the death by amicus and probably the scene that the parents showed about Mc dying is a result on trying to save amicus from a backstabbing or a cheap trick pulled by Cato, even if he's military trained and super strong Amicus is more than capable to give a good fight on him and win even.

Yeah I kinda forgot about Virginia's contacts in the city who were going to leak all that dirt on Cato and Cassius. They must be trustworthy, and since they have access to that information they must know that Cato is lying out his ass, so it is reasonable to assume that they released that info when this shit went down. I feel that it would make a lot more sense for the people to be completely against Cato right now rather than supportive.

Regarding the Parents, we still don't know if they can be trusted. Meera supposedly submitted to their will, and look what happened to her. Furthermore, I doubt they would directly remove Cato from power. The entire reason they are working through the MC is because too much interference from them fucks up their precognitive abilities. We are getting a lot of foreshadowing that the parents might not have entirely benevolent intentions, or that they are too focused on the big picture to really care about the individuals they are manipulating to carry out their will. Even if the MC is the only one who is having these suspicions as far as we know, it is still a large part of his internal dialogue and we really can't ignore that.

>>1675113
>the scene that the parents showed about Mc dying is a result on trying to save amicus from a backstabbing or a cheap trick pulled by Cato
I was thinking this exact thing. I can see Amicus beating Cato and then making the stupid decision to spare him, and when his back is turned Cato rushes him with a dagger and the MC jumps in front of it or something. That would be pretty fucked up, and Amicus would never forgive himself.

Speaking of Cato, I really want to know his endgame here. The Empire is completely isolated from the Galaxias without the Parents supplying them with whatever is used to power the stretch drives. That means that even if he wanted to immediately declare war on the Khemians or something like that, he can't as far as we know. What's more, the Parents are worried about the wolves destabilizing the entire Galaxias, which, again, I can't really see them doing if they can't even leave their own star system. There must be something else at play here that we haven't been shown yet.

Also, why did he imprison the MC in Amicus' room instead of just straight-up murdering him, or throwing him into the dungeons at the very least? A public execution would be pointless and even risky. He probably plans on killing Amicus, so he doesn't need the MC as a hostage or anything. I also doubt it is due to the fact that he is technically a Khemian now, as he probably wants war with the Khemians anyway. Alex may have been Cassius' pet, but he was also a foreign diplomat, and Cato did not hesitate to literally bitch-slap him across the room. The MC, in comparison, is nothing as far as Cato is concerned, and has actively hindered his plans either knowingly or by accident from the moment he set foot on the moon. Alex might have told Cato that the Monitors have taken a positive interest in the MC, but I don't see how that would matter to him since everything he is doing is working against the ideals of the Parents and he probably knows that. Again, there must be something in play that we just haven't seen yet because I simply can't think of any reason as to why he would not just murder the MC immediately.

>>1675006

My only good guess is that he needs him alive to make him take all the blame of the past events and a posible hostage in case that amicus gets out and tries something funny, like the case of the third trial.

I'm also guedding that the Humans multiple failures of joining the galaxias may be cause humans don't have the blind faith that the other siblings and possibly the childs posses regarding on the parents, at least is what i got from the small talk with amicus on the dungeons.

>My only good guess is that he needs him alive to make him take all the blame of the past events and a posible hostage in case that amicus gets out and tries something funny
Yeah but here is the thing; he doesn't need Amicus alive. In fact, keeping him alive puts his rule in jeopardy. The only thing keeping Amicus alive previously was Cassius' resistance to his execution. Cassius is no longer around to stop it, and Cato's rule will always be seen illegitimate as long as there is a surviving male heir, so keeping him alive for whatever reason runs the risk that he is going to get out and cause trouble. Now, you can probably make the case that Cato plans to pin the blame on Amicus as well, and say that Amicus directed the MC to poison Cassius because he was salty that he "lost" the third trial and thus the emperorship, but if that was the case then you would think that Com would have mentioned it along with everything else. As far as we know, the MC is taking all the blame for this, so again, why didn't Cato kill him immediately? The poisoning happened at breakfast, and the MC made his escape at sundown. If there was going to be a public execution to solidify Cato's claim and placate the masses, why did it not happen in that several-hour time frame? Why lock him in Amicus' room of all places instead of the dungeon that is meant for prisoners? Cato is making some rather questionable choices regarding the MC and I am not satisfied with any theory we make using the info that is available. Hopefully Virginia or Neferu are able to explain the situation better in the next update.

Like, he was ready and willing to immediately kill the MC during the staging of the third trial the very moment he stopped useful, but this time he didn't even so much as touch the MC. In fact, his threat that the drones would "encourage" the MC to make his way to Amicus' room implies that he NEEDS the MC for something, preferably unharmed. At the moment my guess is that he needs him to talk to the Parents (I am assuming that Alex told him that the Parents have been contacting the MC through the Monitors), considering that they wouldn't talk to Cassius. As the only individual on the moon who they will talk to, the MC can be seen as a valuable tool for Cato.

>I'm also guedding that the Humans multiple failures of joining the galaxias may be cause humans don't have the blind faith that the other siblings and possibly the childs posses regarding on the parents
I used to think this, but I am starting to have issues with this idea. Just take a look at any real human religion, particularly the Abrahamic ones like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and you will find any number of individuals willing to put blind faith in their deity. While it is true that human myth is filled with people who argued with or outright rejected divine will, it is also filled with individuals who were totally devoted to it. Humans are just as prone to militant zealotry as we are to rejecting religious dogma. A better way to word this then would be that humans are naturally inclined to embrace self-determination, individualism, and free-will, so that while many humans might embrace the idea that things are fated and that the Parents control our destiny to reach their interpretation of an optimal, benevolent outcome, humans also have a rather unique and strong capacity to reject that idea instead. For example, the MC stated in a vision during an early part of a game that he felt that his actions were predetermined and that thought alone briefly terrified him. Yet, he also stated recently that the idea that he can just play along and let the Parents take care of everything was a rather comforting thought. In the end, the MC had the ability to choose when the Monitor contacted him in the archives; submit to the will of heaven, or reject it. Maybe this ability to essentially determine their own fate is what makes humans unique, and thus disruptive to the Parents ability to manipulate galactic affairs. It is interesting to note that the wolves are similar in this regard, but if this theory is true, then humans are affected by this quirk much more strongly than they are, as the wolves were still suitable as a Sibling race, yet the Parents failed to uplift humanity using the Siblings on eight separate occasions and had to resort to essentially erasing all evidence from both the archives of the Siblings and the historical records of humanity to keep us isolated. I outlined a theory similar to this earlier in the thread, but at the moment I feel less strongly towards it.
>>1654699

Whatever the case may be, it seems that whatever "flaw" that makes humans unique has suddenly become a strength in this situation, as they said that what is currently happening on Adastra is the perfect opportunity to give humanity a role to play. Considering that human nature has not changed very much in the past 200,000 years, I fail to see how humanity is suddenly important unless our flaw is now an asset that the Parents can take advantage of.

At the moment though, all we can really do is speculate on the matter since we still know so very little about the Parents and whatever this human flaw may be.

ooo i missed your previous theory sorry, it's quite similar to mine and you're right it's a bit flaky.

my point of Mc taking the blame is more like a reverse scenario that happened on the third trial basically forcing mc to take the blame in a public matter or he kills amicus, and easily a double hostage situation if one doesn't do as comanded the other dies, but you're right he doesn't really need amicus alive and locking mc in the room was a bit odd.

It was very odd. I was expecting there to be a lot more violence in that scene directed at the MC. At the very least I was expecting him to be thrown in the dungeons. But instead, Cato just locks him in Amicus' room. As I said, I personally don't think that this makes much sense unless Cato needed him for something unrelated to a public execution.

Furrynomous 2019/11/23 20:10:39 No.1675444

Cato is probably keeping Marco to use as a scapegoat. Just killing him there and then would have been a waste if he can put him on trial and present the footage of him serving Cassius as evidence of attempted murder.

Furrynomous 2019/11/23 21:33:04 No.1675466

>>1675444
What makes you think he recorded the event to begin with? We saw no drones, and if there were secret cameras we would have been made aware of them after to reinforce Cato's intentions to the audience. Even if he did record it and we just weren't told, that recording would work completely against him. First, the people would wonder why this breakfast was being recorded in the first place, which would seem rather suspicious. Second, they would see how tense everyone was, and hear from Virginia that this is a scheduled breakfast set up by Cato himself, the first in quite a while to use her words. Third, they would see the MC serve Cassius the wine at Cato's own direction. Fourth, as Cassius was clearly dying, they would see Cato act completely nonchalant. Obviously he would edit out himself punching Alex in this video, but he would also have to edit out literally everything but the MC handing Cassius the wine, which won't prove anything because as far as the people are aware, the MC is just a pet still and has probably served Cassius wine countless times. Out of any reason that Cato might have for keeping the MC alive, using him as a scapegoat is the least likely and the one with the most holes, and still doesn't explain why he was locked in Amicus' room instead of throwing him into the much more secure dungeon.

The only way I can see Cato keeping the MC alive for something like a trial is if he plans to force the MC to say that he "poisoned" Cassius at Amicus' command. It would show the people that Amicus is alive and explain why he wasn't made emperor after Cassius was poisoned, a narrative that would only benefit Cato as it would legitimize his rule and paint Amicus as a deceitful kinslayer who was furious that he lost the throne. Of course, even his idea has holes in it. If Virginia's contacts released the video of the third trial and the info suggesting that Cato killed the previous emperor and that is why the people are rioting, then no fake criminal trial on Cato's part is going to fix that public image. But aside from this scenario or Cato wanting the MC alive to talk to the Parents, there is simply no reason that we know of to explain why Cato didn't have both Amicus and the MC executed immediately. We know for a fact that Cato wants them both dead, Cassius told the MC that himself.

Also, I didn't get a chance to watch it, but I heard that Haps said during his drawing livestream that the next update is gonna have a HUGE surprise, so take that as you will.

Even if Cato shut down the news channels, that wouldn't stop Virginia's contacts from spreading the video. They don't need the archive anymore since they downloaded the footage to a secure domain that only Virginia and Neferu have access to. Cassius threatened to shut down the news channels as well and Virginia said that they have made it available in portable formats. Cato would not be able to stop its spread. It is probably why the people are rioting.

Did anyone else take note of Virginia's reaction when the MC said that he would get Amicus to make her his chief advisor? It's like she was expecting him to just blow her off, probably because she is used to men having control in her life. I wonder if her attitude towards the MC would have been more friendly if she knew that he suggested to Amicus that she take the position before any of this went down.

Maybe that's what Cato wanted all along, to get rid of Amicus on a public to the death battle he seems quite confident in that area, and that would shut down any doubt on the legitimate ruler, sooo still a little doubtfull on why he grounded marco on Amicus room, maybe so he won't get alone time with the wolf in the dungeons or because he's simply a khemian and doesn't want any war yet.

what if Alex was onto something by questioning Khemia's motives for wanting an alliance? they sound nice but maybe they have less-than-noble intentions that even Neferu is unaware of? maybe not but it does seem weird.

maybe something about the parents? hmmm.

We have been told that the only race to initiate war in ten millennia has been the wolves. Alex probably just doesn't want the wolves to get an extremely beneficial alliance with the most powerful civilization in the galaxy. That would only benefit Adastra and likely raise them up above the cats. Whatever the case may be, speculating on what Alex wants is pointless since his motivations seem to change on a whim and throw everyone off.

It will be nice to see Amicus out of the dungeons though. If we are gonna see him naked in an in-game illustration, that must mean things have calmed down a bit, which makes me wonder about how events are gonna go down next update, especially since Haps is telling us to be prepared for something huge. Whatever happens, I just hope that Amicus and the MC get some personal time to build their relationship more. Amicus has been in those dungeons since August and I feel like the narrative has suffered just a bit for that.

To be fair all we have is a crop of his back and rump. There is not always something sexual about that. And all Haps post said was something huge Adastra related. Pic maybe related or since the cropped pic has a white background it could just be a sprite for when you are in the shower washing his back. since all the actual shower scenes have none.

Why would he make a unique sprite for a specific part of a single shower scene? No other scene has unique sprites so I think it would be safe to throw that theory out the window. The background is probably white so that we can't tell where the scene takes place.

Probably just some random wolf who is good at keeping a secret, and probably someone Cassius isn't particularly close to since he is using royal titles. I doubt it is canon that Cassius fucks around with other males aside from Alex behind the scenes, but I also wouldn't be surprised.

I find it rather humorous that despite the social taboo towards homosexuality in wolven culture, everyone in the Imperial Palace is gay as fuck except for Cato and Virgina. At this point I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Cato turns out to be a homo who is just better at hiding it.

Not really. Romantic relationships are completely dependent on physical attraction so they are the most shallow relationships you can have in this world.

That's... a very shallow and inexperienced thing to say. They tend to start off like that, being fueled by physical attraction, but you don't reach a romantic relationship from that alone, not even an actual meaningful relationship of any kind, except maybe some sort of friendship with a regular sex partner, but that's about it.

On that note, MC's romantic relationship with Amicus doesn't have enough buildup, I feel like it skips a BIG chunk of relationship development, specially when it goes from "dating" (which is just a title since there's not a single date in there) to suddenly being in love, it's not very believable in that regard. You could argue that the love came from MC's previous interactions with Amicus, but up until that point, most of those interactions were ones the MC was ambivalent about, not trusting Amicus and seeing him as an alien, a kidnapper and a liar. I don't mind all that much, but that's mostly because I don't play Adastra for Amicus, his relationship with MC is pretty lame overall, but everything else is pretty interesting.

>it's not very believable in that regard
True, but it has been made clear over the past several updates that Amicus and the MC were essentially fated to be together by precognitive inter-dimensional aliens so advanced that they are essentially gods. All signs point to the MC being specifically chosen by the Parents, so it makes sense to think that they ensured that whoever they chose would be compatible with Amicus. As Amicus thought in the last update, he really was meant to find the MC. And as unfortunate as it is, most of that relationship building was shown off-screen, but is alluded to by the MC at various points. We are just shown the stuff that drives the plot. Even in the parts that we are shown before they start a relationship, they seem to be drawn to each other.

"Dating" might be the norm, but it isn't exactly necessary. I've seen people who have only known each other for barely a few weeks who were madly in love, while I have also seen a couple who were dating for well over a year and half the time it seemed that they could barely stand each other. Of course, not everyone has alien gods playing matchmaker for them like Amicus and the MC did, so take that as you will.

I'm sure blind people have other ways to determine if someone is attractive to them or not. They can still touch, they can still have sex. I don't know any blind people though, you should ask them.

As for unattractive people, how do you know if they are happy or not? Are they both equally ugly? How do you know if they're not attracted to each other? Is one of them rich? Just because relationships like that exist doesn't prove anything.

Even if these were good examples (they are not), these people are a tiny minority. What about everyone else?

But it's not shallow. Marcus (the MC) really does care about Amicus, when he's jelaous of the jackal and then when the wolf is sent to prision, the only thing he wants it's get his lover out of that place.

Ditto with Amicus, he had sex with the jackal just for MC's safety (that later was really useful) and when the bad guy attack the MC he protects him risking his life.

That proves it's not shallow. They really love each other.

Are we ever told what the gravity on Adastra is like? It seems weird that a moon that is noticeably smaller than Earth would have comparable gravity unless like 80% of its core is iron or something.

Furrynomous 2019/12/01 08:38:44 No.1678584

>>1678538

Never even thought of that but you're right. If the moon possesses a very dense core then its gravity should be higher than an ordinary moon. Thus allowing the MC to be more akin to what he feels on earth. Otherwise wouldn't this be a John Carter of Mars kinda thing. Where the MC used to earth's higher gravity would appear notability stronger on the moon with comparably weaker gravity. The same should apply to the Wolves as well. If the moon has a lower gravity then the Wolves having lived there for millennia should have grown weaker as their bodies adapted to it. Much like astronauts do in the micro-gravity of space. So wouldn't the MC be on par with them in strength or even stronger than them.

That would have been an interesting twist being abducted by this large space wolf only to discover that the MC is actually stronger than him. Be kinda a superman sort of situation with the MC having to act weaker than he really is while amongst them on the moon.

I did a little messing around in Universe Sandbox trying to come up with figures that are believable. Assuming Adastra has a core that is 80% iron (ridiculous but not impossible I would think) and 42% of Earth's mass, then it would have a radius that is 66% of Earth's with surface gravity that is slightly less than ours. This would make its density around 8 g/cm3, which is way higher than any terrestrial body in our solar system. These are really the only figures that would match what we know about Adastra, which is a moon that is noticeably smaller than Earth with similar gravity. I pictured it smaller, and the only real way to achieve that without having the entire moon literally be iron would be to have something much denser than iron making up a large part of its core.

This would also make Ancoris pretty fucking massive for a terrestrial planet, and even then the barycenter for Ancoris and Adastra might still be above Ancoris' surface, making it a technically a double planet system, but we have that same situation IRL with Pluto/Charon but Charon is still considered a moon. I'd have to replay the early part of the VN to determine that though, as I can't remember if Torque is before or after Adastra in its orbit. And unless it orbits really, really close to Ancoris, it wouldn't be tidally locked given it's 19 hour days. The background image of the beach at night shows Ancoris larger than our moon in the sky but not taking up a huge portion of it, so it must orbit at a decent distance, far enough away to keep from being tidally locked to Ancoris while also having a short enough orbit to account for the fact that the MC has seen Ancoris in the sky both during the day and at night, certainly much less than our own moon's 27 day orbit.

Why not? Their relationship is not emotionally or physically abusive, and they seem to very much enjoy spending time together. The worst that you could argue is that they have a rather strong emotional dependence on each other, which is particularly severe on Amicus' part considering he seemed close to suicide when the MC "died". The circumstances of their relationship are certainly unusual but to call it unhealthy is going too far in my opinion

Physical attraction wasn't part of my argument at all, fam. I like his personality over anything else. I merely stated my reasoning for why I believe their relationship is not unhealthy. Everything between them is consensual, and both of them actively want to be with the other, so please tell me how that is unhealthy. I guess you could say that Amicus abducting the MC and dragging him into this mess was kinda fucked up, but he has done everything in his power to try to fix that and his actions were directly influenced by the parents anyway. The only issues with the relationship are the external factors affecting it, in my opinion. If they were brought together under different circumstances, I believe they still would have entered a relationship based on the MC's internal dialogue.

I really liked that actually, it was pretty neat seeing Leo use pretty classical abuse behaviour and people actually eating it up hook line and sinker, between the making promises just to immediately break them ("I GONNA STOP SMOKING I SWEAR BABE") and attempts to isolate Chase from other people and it being abundantly clear he doesn't act like he does when Chase isn't around.

That said, i completely agree that people are romanticizing Amicus way too much and that the Cuckening kinda should tipped people off that this isn't a story where PURE WUW UWU reigns supreme, much like Echo.

It's a story about shitty people doing shitty things and occasionally fucking and there in lies the entertainment, like with Echo. And there is nothing wrong with that, just don't be a naive sod and pretend like Amicus didn't fucking abduct someone "I totally thought you were stupid and that it would therefore been okay!" is not a excuse. Enjoy the ride for what it is.

Yeah, I am not disagreeing with you on that point, I was just pointing out how the word isn't appropriate. I agree that it was a shitty thing to do. So was abducting the MC. But you also gotta look at the ways that he has tried to make up for his mistakes. He seemed pretty sincere in the meditation room just before the second trial, and it is clear that he really does feel remorse for abducting the MC and putting him in this situation in the first place if his constant apologies are anything to go by. Hell, he gave up an EMPIRE to protect the MC from Cato before the rigged trial, and went even further during the trial by attacking Cato even though he knew that attacking the acting Emperor like that would probably lead to execution. And yeah, some of his initial views are rather awful from an egalitarian human perspective, but even sanctimonious Neferu said that Amicus shows a willingness to change both himself and his empire for the better.

Comparing Amicus to Leo is a little absurd since Leo tried to dominate the relationship in a very unhealthy way and broke pretty much every promise that he made, while Amicus on the other hand has not (yet, anyway). No one in this VN is perfect and everyone has made some sort of awful mistake or has done something shitty and I am not denying that, but I was just taking issue with the fact that some are trying to misconstrue the core relationship of the VN into something that is overtly toxic and unhealthy despite evidence to the contrary.

That's not the impression I got at all.

First he had the emperor killed. Then, it seems, he started grooming Cassius, to hopefully have him be the emperor instead of Amicus. The way he treats Cassius (calling him an idiot, poisoning him) indicates that he sees him as little more than a tool for his own ambitions. And finally, dissolving the triumvirates.

Cato looks a lot like a dictator, who loves power.

>>1682811
He was perfectly willing to rule through Cassius, using him as a puppet. Power is clearly just a means to an end for him. We are told that the wolves fought the jackals to a stalemate in the war. Considering that the Khemians command the most technological advanced empire in the galaxy and the wolves are the least advanced sibling race, I would wager that the Khemians could have won the war if they really wanted to or at least had the ability to extend it for far longer, but either they or the wolves sued for peace. Cato's comments when nearly murdering Neferu, as well as that action itself, suggests that Cato did not want the war to end, or at the very least he is willing to renew the conflict. He lost his sight to the war, and Amicus states that Cato's scars are more than physical, which also explains his unstable temperament, so he definitely has a believable motive. Given that the parents believe that the wolves are on the verge of destabilizing the entire galaxy and are willing to resort to indirectly interfering in the case of the MC, I have no doubt that a new war is Cato's endgame.

The question remains, however, how he would go about it. The wolves can't influence anything outside of their star system right now because of the stretch depletion and the parents certainly will not change that with Cato on the throne, so I am left wondering why the parents are so worried if the wolves are essentially isolated from the rest of the galaxy at the moment. Cato must have some gamechanging plan or trump card that hasn't been revealed yet, because even if the MC fails his task, I don't see how the events unfolding on Adastra would spill into the galaxy at large.

Furrynomous 2019/12/11 04:01:23 No.1683111

Bros, what if the last part of build 11 never actually happened? It sounds crazy, but take a look at when the MC is about to hand Cassius his wine. A voice in his head, presumably the Monitor, tells him "Fear not...these are the events that shall follow", followed shortly thereafter by "Keep your mind and your heart open, great ape...You shall receive guidance". Now this might just be a literal warning, but I believe that everything shown after the MC grabs Cassius' wine is a vision of the immediate future, and the parents are preparing him for that by telling him that he needs to be ready to do as they say.

If this theory is correct, then I believe the next update will split depending on the choice you made in the archive. Choosing to submit to their will would have events play out as they were in the vision, followed by the Monitor guiding his actions, while choosing to reject their will would have the MC try to stop it, which would likely lead to a different but equally crazy series of events. These choices we have been making need to come into play at some point, and this seems like a good spot to do it.

I am beginning to think that there is not going to be a super-happy ending where everyone comes out of this in one piece, or even alive. Alex was punched so hard in the face by Cato that he flew into the wall across the room, and he didn't get up or even move when he hit the ground. I don't know how sturdy the cats are compared to humans, but I doubt that he is just out cold. At best he has broken bones, and at worst he is fucking dead. And if Cassius isn't dead yet, then I think he soon will be. Cato doesn't need him anymore and he would most certainly be executed if Cassius recovers, so there is no way that he would half-ass the assassination. I doubt Cato will let Virginia live since she is a witness and Neferu is probably in danger as well just because he is a Khemian. And we know that if the MC rejects the will of the parents, then he is probably going to die or at least be very close to death if that vision in the archives wasn't a complete lie.

However it plays out, I just hope the next update isn't too emotionally devastating.

I may not be fully caught up yet, but I have to say.... Amicus really is the least interesting character in this game, by far. Makes it extra disappointing that you're locked into a romance with him.

I feel like I'm just skipping through any of his scenes as fast as possible to get to the ones with Neferu, Virginia, and even Cassius...

Really wish there was an option to pursue Neferu instead, but I doubt that'll happen.

I disagree but everyone has their own opinion. Amicus is a lovable doofus who means well and I find that endearing for whatever reason. Neferu doesn't click with me because he doesn't seem like the type who would want a real relationship, and because we know nothing of his real personality other than the fact that he is low-key racist. At least what you see is what you get with Amicus and Cassius. At least he seems fun to be around though, last update excluded for obvious reasons. Virginia just seems unpleasant to be around in most situations and we know the least about her out of any character other than Cato.

Tbh I love every character in this VN, even Cato, and I find them all interesting in their own way.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about him. There really isn't much to Amicus other than being goofy and having a somewhat attractive body (subjective). His more "endearing" side is only shown towards MC, and his feelings for MC aren't very well justified imo, nor are MC's towards Amicus, so I also end up skimming through most of the scenes where MC and him are alone together at this point, specially since they're focused on their intimacy more than anything else. Compared to all the intrigue and lore built around them, their relationship really feels like the weak link in this VN.

Not sure about having the option to pursue other relationships but, I suppose Neferu would make the most sense. I'll just go ahead and say I'd rather have the option to pursue Cassius, just because I'd like to see the trope of a spiteful and insecure character progressively turning into someone more pleasant and confident, that'd be much more compelling than what we currently have with Amicus, since he's not getting any kind of character development unlike Neferu, Alex and Cassius to some extent, although Cassius at this point just keeps getting the short end of the stick and it's kinda distasteful. I really hope he isn't dead yet, that'd just be a wasted opportunity.

>>1683111
I really hope that's the case, but they did claim a long while ago that decisions will only alter the ending we get, and I don't think we're that close to the ending so, a big change like that probably won't happen regarding Cassius' situation.

>>1683220
I disagree about the "weak link" and emotional justification things, but I can see why someone would have that opinion. In most VNs, characters entering a relationship is the endgame, with most of the VN building up to it. In this, however, Amicus and the MC enter a relationship relatively early. Them building that relationship wasn't important to the story which is why we weren't shown that development during the time skips, but them being in one is. Because of this, the intimate scenes involving them are nice and all and I look forward to them, but they contribute little to pushing the story outside of building their relationship further. It would be wrong to just remove them altogether because then things would just be jarring and the entire plot hinges on this relationship to begin with. Narratively speaking, the MC and Amicus get along so well and fell in love so fast because the were presumably specifically chosen for this by the parents, with the MC and Amicus playing the roles of Meera and Drusus respectively. I am fine with this explanation because it makes sense that a pantheon of alien gods obsessed with pursuing the optimal outcome for the galaxy would choose only the most compatible individuals to be the center of their plan, but I can see why some would take issue with that, especially if they are used to other VNs where that kind of mutual attraction builds up over time.

Regarding other routes, I think Howly was kind of turned off of the idea after the clusterfuck Echo turned into.

Tbh I never actually played Echo, I started following their patreon back in March when I learned about Adastra. I had heard about it, but I was told that it was soul crushing and overly depressing, and the thread on this board as well the patreon comments with each new build have done little to dispel that view for me. From what I have gathered on patreon though, the project has gone entirely off the rails and the ending for Flynn's route is universally hated.

Echo is tbh pretty great from a storytelling and VN aspect.

However, as a dating sim, not so much.

I didn't even know Flynn's route was complete, someone please confirm this for me. Is Jenna's route ever gonna get finished? I don't even like females, but I do like the story enough that I want to see what her route reveals.

Yeah, Flynn's route is complete, Spoiler. I think Jenna's route is next. And yeah I have heard that the story started good, but eventually turned into a convoluted mess because of all the routes, if the patreon comments are anything to go by. I know that they have been getting more and more negative since Howly began focusing on Adastra and offloaded Echo on to some other guy. I think that is why Howly decided to just make Amicus the only "route" in Adastra, because it allows him to tell the story he wants without having to try and tell it from several angles. I guess I am just fortunate that Amicus is the kind of character that hits all the right buttons for me.

I can see where people are coming from though. Amicus might be my favorite character, but I see how many can find a character like Neferu appealing even if he isn't personally my thing. Though honestly I feel like that would detract from the story. The VN is titled "Adastra" afterall, and the story really revolves around Amicus and the MC. Pretty much the entire premise of the VN would have to change if Neferu was an option since the MC can't really "finish what Meera started" and play out her role if he is fucking around with a Jackal outsider.

But while we are on the subject of shit that will never happen, how about the MC getting spitroasted by both Amicus and Neferu. Hell, have Cato join in too. Make it a wet dream or something to satisfy everyone thirsty for the other characters.

Not only are your tastes terrible, they are also completely unbelievable. Amicus is far too strong-willed and stubborn for that kind of shit, he would sooner kill or be killed if anyone tried taking the MC like that. The weak-willed Cassius on the other hand would meekly submit. Cato putting Cassius in his place by ruining the only person he loves would be the superior cuck scenario by far.

That isn't saying much though, cuckoldry is an awful fetish to begin with.

I'm kinda worried about Alexios. Why does he not want the alliance with the wolves and the jackals? Something about all wolves being violent warmongers so I'm worried that genocide might be his endgame.

An alliance between the wolves and the jackals would upset the balance of power in the galaxy. The jackals are at the top of the ladder technologically, and Howly stated in a Q&A that wolves are at the bottom. An alliance between them would likely mean that the wolves would eventually surpass the cats with help from the jackals. Keeping the wolves isolated would prevent that. However, at times it seemed like Alex was helping Amicus so I have no idea what his real endgame here is.

What I really want to know is what is so damn special about humanity that the parents directed all eight of the siblings to try and uplift Earth, what is "wrong" with humanity that caused those uplifts to fail, and why the current crisis on Adastra is apparently the perfect time to reintroduce humanity to the Galaxias. So much hinges on the answers to those questions yet we know almost nothing this late into the plot. I hope the next update has some pretty big reveals.

How to not get bad ending, courtesy of the Echo/Adastra disco

Oblivion
When in Rome

Submit to the parents

Furrynomous 2019/12/24 08:33:59 No.1688874

That's not the only way. I did this:

-Infinity
-When in Rome
-Talk to Neferu
-"I don't know" when asked about whether or not Amicus would be a good emperor
-submit to the parents

As far as I can tell, the only trigger for the bad ending is choosing to reject the will of the parents. Choosing to submit, you get "to be continued" at the end of this like always. Rejecting them leads to a "game over" state that drops you right back into the main menu.

By the way, the forbidden word that u18chan was preventing you from typing was dis.cord. IDK why it is a banned word tbh.

Ok, cool. Well, disc has been acting up for me recently so be sure to let them know that choosing "infinity" and "I don't know" can avoid the bad end. I am fairly certain that saying "no" when asked about Amicus' capability as a prospective emperor will lead to that permadeath ending as well.

Also, the choice to submit is definitely a deciding factor. I just did a new save where I did everything the same except this time I chose to reject them, and I got the bad ending.

What's the difference between the good and bad ending and how can you tell the difference.

Furrynomous 2019/12/24 21:36:04 No.1689095

>>1689093
in the bad ending MC is permanently dead and it will boot you to the menu, you WILL NOT GET a "to be continued..."

in the good ending the parents say "we told you this could be prevented, and it will be. wait for Amicus, he'll come for you." and the usual "to be continued..."

seems the bad end is caused by answering NO to either of these questions:
1) if Amicus would be a good emperor
2) do you submit to the benevolent will of the parents

Well lets look at the context here. Cato declared himself emperor and was set to marry Virginia to legitimize his rule. In light of this, we can safely assume that Cassius is 100% dead as of this update, or so close to death that it does not matter. However, something seems off about all of the events in this update and the previous one.

When the parents were referring to the MC's death at the end, they said "we told you that this could be prevented, and it will be". How do you prevent something that has already happened? I'm not saying that this was all a vision because the MC definitely dies in the bad ending, but things definitely aren't as they seem, especially if you look at their following dialogue, "be at peace for now, for he will come for you". I am left wondering how Amicus will "come" for the MC, considering that he is a disembodied consciousness stuck in limbo, and I doubt the parents can just snap their metaphorical fingers and bring him back from the dead. I feel like part 2 of build 12 is going to have some crazy twists and turns, and I can't even speculate as to what is going to happen next because of how cryptic that last scene is. And we still got quite a bit of plot left. Following part 2 of build 12 on the 5th, there will at least be one more build in January. Beyond that, I am not sure.

Unrelated, this build completely killed any and all positive feelings that I had left for Alex. He deserves to be executed, and I can't imagine that Amicus will be in a forgiving mood right after the love of his life just bled to death in his arms while on live broadcast to the entire moon.

I got a thought the phrase "we told you that this could be prevented, and it will be"
What if for some reason they send the MC to the past before he met Amicus? and that's why they say "be at peace for now, for he will come for you" because he's literally going for you.
That way you can fix everything by being careful around Alexios or something, because the "watch for the cat" stuff.
Or maybe it's just my idea, but it could be a cool AU, or maybe not lol

That seems rather implausible. The MC does "dream" of a portal just before Amicus abducts him, and smells burning ozone when he wakes up which implies that it wasn't actually a dream, but I feel that is an entirely different plot point that will be revealed later. Time travel would seem pretty risky for the parents, since their objective was pretty much accomplished after the MC gave his life to save Amicus, so I feel that they must have something else planned.

>>1689124
I don't think this is the case since it's most likely a vision from the past in which he was probably dating that wolf five years ago. There's also more evidence as there's a description of what he looked like in the dream sequence, appearing skinnier and in full robes. Maybe he gained weight after what he had to go through over the following years and around the beginning of the game amicus talks about his clothes being trendy which could possibly mean he must of been wearing something else in the past years.

Also during the dream sequence, were shown that they kiss which may have been the recorded scene amicus talks about after he kisses the mc.

Then I would question why they can't just clone his original body or something if they possess the ability to manipulate life like that. While admittedly the thought that they would do that did cross my mind, it would really undermine the MC's sacrifice. He died saving Amicus, and thus the empire, and Amicus poured out his love for him on a live broadcast to the entire moon. That would completely change the wolves attitude towards other species, I think, which seems to have been the goal of the parents to begin with. Turning him into a wolf would kinda cheapen that. The people of the empire will likely venerate him just like they do Meera after this. He doesn't need to be a wolf to be respected by them anymore, and all that really does is satisfy the "you become the furry" fetish without contributing anything meaningful to the story in my opinion.

However the MC comes back from this, he is going to be treated like a hero I would hope.

God imagine being Amicus, this must be the most stressful month of his life. Imprisoned under the threat of execution, his brother is probably dead, and he had to watch the MC die twice, first from a horrible illness and then from bleeding to death in his arms. He nearly drank himself to death the first time, so I can't imagine what he will do now.

The MC got shafted too but at least he died happy with a smile on his face.

i can see this playing out in several different ways.

1. Amicus upholds he words to MC and becomes a great emperor and sets out to do what he said he would do.

2. Cass recovers and Amicus steps down as emperor and gives cass emperorship.

3. MC will actually live. But it will take sometime for the parents to "revive" him like they did with the avia pox. He and amicus can live and grow old together as they set out to make Adastra part of the galaxies again.

4. VERY UNLIKELY but they could cast Cassius mind away and put MCs mind in his body so they can still be together in the end. Which does two things 1. they are basically willing to kill Cassius without care. Or 2. they give both MC and Cassius a choice. Cassius can give his body to MC willingly and Cassius can be with his mother and father.

which i feel even if it was an option and Cassius said yes the MC would say no as even though he didnt like Cassius he would not only not be himself but he would feel Amicus wouldnt agree to it and it would be super wierd to him (but not tome, its rome). But if for some reason MC did get cassius body
>>1602473

1 would only happen in the bad ending, where the MC is permanently dead. The parents told the MC if you made the right choices that "you will not leave him alone". Somehow, some way, the MC is gonna come back from this and that phrase seems to suggest that most endings will keep them together. I don't see 2 happening because Cassius is weak-willed and even he didn't think that he was meant to be emperor. If anyone other than Amicus is going to sit on the throne, it will be Virginia. I can see Amicus being sent to Earth to serve as an ambassador to Earth in that situation, but much like Amicus' relationship with the MC, Amicus being the emperor seems like the will of the parents so any other person taking that position seems unlikely. 3 is very probable but obviously dependent on how things play out in the next part of the build. Wouldn't be surprised if they work on bringing Earth back into the Galaxias as well.

As for 4, what the fuck are you smoking? Imagine, for a moment, that someone that you love more than anything dies tragically, and then has their consciousness transferred into your brother at the cost of his own. Would you be comfortable continuing a relationship with them, let alone a sexually intimate one? Of course you fucking wouldn't because that is one of the most fucked up scenarios imaginable. Not to mention that Cassius is probably already a corpse or at the very least in critical condition. I don't see how the MC's prospects are much improved by having his consciousness forced into a wolf with glass bones who was just poisoned in an assassination attempt.

I don't know. The parents are never clear on what their plans are, so it is hard to speculate. All we do know is that they are all about maintaining stability while keeping interference at a minimum. I can't think of anything more potentially disruptive than time travel, especially since the parents got what they wanted or at least are very close to getting the MC to finish the job. Time travel could jeopardize all of that. It might be possible that everything since right before Cassius was poisoned was just a warning vision from the parents, considering the MC's vision was flashing and the minor disorientation he was suffering, but I find this unlikely since the MC is definitely dead in the bad ending. Amicus will apparently "come" for the MC, whatever that means, so perhaps he is going to directly petition the parents using the device in the archives. Whatever the case, this death seems temporary, so it will be interesting to see how this develops come the 5th.

One, it was an awful suggestion that has zero chance of happening because that would be profoundly disturbing on multiple levels for the vast majority of people who follow this VN, and two, "it would be super weird to him" is a bit of an understatement. A more accurate description of Amicus' reaction would be "repulsed and horrified".

Also, that twitter post that was posted on here earlier in no way suggested that the MC take over Cassius' body, just that the MC should take over the body of some rando wolf in a coma.

Normally I wouldn't care if the MC of a VN somehow became a wolfman or some shit like that. However, the fact that the MC in this VN is human is a core pillar of the narrative. Something about humans in the background lore is so special and unique that the parents tried to uplift humanity eight separate times, which has never happened to any other species, and the MC is a key player precisely because he is a human chosen by the parents for their cryptic plans. Turning him into a wolf would detract from all of that.

Hr might also be set to be mummified, and when the embalmers come to begin the process find he's actually alive. I just hope Amicus doesn't give up in the meantime. He needs to keep going, for Cassius, Virginia, and Marco.

He may have been a Khemian citizen, but he was the lover of the guy who is now emperor. No way Amicus would let him rest anywhere but Adastra, especially since the MC has essentially immortalized himself in their history as a heroic figure like Meera (assuming the people agree with his actions during the challenge for the throne, which they probably do considering the riots), and a roman-style funeral pyre seems more likely, in my opinion. Him rising like Christ a second time at his own funeral would be pretty funny though, especially if Amicus decided to honor him with a state funeral broadcast live across the moon.

Regarding how Amicus is going to react in the aftermath of all this, he is either going to be emboldened by the MC's sacrifice and open the empire to the rest of the siblings again while also abolishing slavery, or he will be too devastated and depressed to even function, let alone rule. Right now, I am leaning more towards the latter. He was mixing space-xanax and alcohol after the MC became brain-dead with irreparable damage to his nervous system, and he broke into tears when he saw that the MC didn't flee the moon with Neferu after he was imprisoned. Considering that the MC bled to death in his arms after saving his life, I would not be surprised if he is considering suicide. Either way, I look forward to seeing his reaction when the MC comes back alive and well, however the second part of this build manages to pull it off.

I swear to god, if Howly makes Marco poses a different body (like the brown wolf from amicus's earlier love life) then, in my opinion, the entire VN would be completely ruined.
However, I really fear that that is something Howly is willing to do, or probably already has in mind. Besides, I feel like most of us are forgetting that Marco has family and friends that he needs to see back on earth, to let them know that he is okay. How can he do that with a wolf body?
Putting myself in Marco's shoes, I would absolutely hate that. Maybe give him a permanent scar on the neck of his human body, sure, but the wolf posession idea is so trash to me. Would 100 percent hate that.

If we're being honest, it makes sense for it to go along with the story, though I would really hate it too. The theories coming out that Marco will take a wolf body remind me alot of Avatar the movie, where the human protagonist took the body of a male alien native to the planet that he was residing on because his human body was paralyzed from the waist down and the human body could not live on that planet, since oxygen was not a thing on it. It's different on adastra though, since obviously Marco can breathe on that moon, but I'm pretty sure his body is permanently done for. It also scares me that Howly (or the gods) would give Marco a different body, unless it's just a copy of the human body, which I would be perfectly fine with and would make sense, since again, the original human body is obviously dead. Remember that when he died, there was no mention of him being able to see his own body.

Besides, I dont think that Amicus would be completely happy with Marco living in a different body, especially a wolf one. It would probably feel like being with someone else. Gosh, so much could happen. Keep theorizing please.
Also the update made me cry.

Yeah but last time the MC was not technically dead. His body was still alive, but the pox left him brain dead. This time he is really dead. Remember when the monitor said that repairing his nervous system was going to be difficult, even for the parents? They clearly have limits to their power, and I think that true death might be a line that they can't cross. Not to mention that they would have to do more than fix a neck cut. From the looks of it, he lost far more blood than the human body can revover from without a transfusion, and the nearest source of human blood is 50,000 light years away from Adastra. I would roll my eyes if wolf blood was somehow compatible with human biology.

Honestly, I have no idea how the MC can come back from this. Time travel would invalidate everything that he died for, from his relationship with Amicus to finishing Meera's work, both of which were engineered by the parents to begin with. Putting him in a wolf body would invalidate his connection to the mystery surrounding humanity, since the fact that he is human is very important to the story. And I doubt that Howly will just have him rise from the dead, since he already did that once. If he goes that route, I would like to see it done in a different way. Even cloning his original body seems a little weird to me.

I'm at a loss, lads. The 5th can't come fast enough.

Not to sound overconfident, but I THINK I've figured it out!

The parents said "We said this could all be prevented, and it will be"
I'm pretty sure that means that everything will return back to normal, which means short term time travel, to the moment that his neck was sliced off. Remember when the parents intervened in Marco killing Amicus in the space ship?
I'm thinking that the same thing will happen, where the parents will probably go back in time, short term, and block Cato from slicing the neck of Marco, since, to be honest, nobody saw that coming, not even the gods i think.
What made the spaceship different though is that it was so obvious what Marco was going to do, since he was inching towards Amicus with a metalic pole and preparing himself to aim for the head.
It was not so obvious with Cato, since, obviously, it was so swift and unpredictable. Remember that the parents also didn't see Marco getting sick in the first place. They probably don't have future vision.

To make jan fith come faster, spend time with family. They matter the most!

There are some holes in this idea. First, the parents can definitely see through time to an extent. The vision in the archives is exactly what ended up happening, afterall. Regarding why they didn't see that the MC would get sick or why the MC still ended up dying, I believe that something about humanity screws up their ability to predict the future whenever a human is involved in their plans. That is obviously just speculation, but remember that they tried and failed to uplift Earth on eight seperate occasions, so clearly something about humanity makes things difficult.

Second, the parents specifically told the MC that Amicus would "come" for him, and thst he needs to "wait for him", implying that Amicus or some other male individual will be playing a key role in the MC's return from the dead.

Third, I feel like erasing the MC's death from the timeline would lessen the impact of what he did, in my personal opinion. Remember, this event was broadcast live to the entire moon, so 80 million wolves saw what they thought to be some lowly child give his live to save Amicus from an insane tyrant who would have damned their entire civilization, and then they saw their new emperor pour his heart out to that dying child before his death, and the emotional devestation that followed. That is the kind of tragedy that can change a civilization right there. I can imagine that attitutes towards the siblings, and particularly the children, will completely change among the wolves after this, which is in line with the goals of the parents. Negating the MC's death by preventing it in the first place would lessen the impact of all of this, so I would prefer that the MC comes back without changing what has already happened.

Given the parent's abilities to revive people who are laid out for a few days, do you think Jesus was involved in one of the uplift attempts? Maybe his words were twisted and after he was executed by the Romans, they revived him as an example of their power. It probably went wrong, through, when people began worshipping him instead, and they abandoned the attempt. Humanity was too primitive to understand. Humanity in general could have been abandoned because it was too primitive to understand what the parents were doing.

In fact, one of the reasons that they are so interested in humanity might be because we are the only species that has developed sibling-level intelligence naturally. Even the siblings had their intelligence uplifted 20,000 years ago, whereas humans have been at this level of intelligence for 200,000 years, and behaviorally modern for around 40,000 years. Complex cultures and social structures were already in existence 5,000 years before the first uplift attempt that we can reasonably put an approximate date on. Whatever caused the uplifts to fail, us being too "primitive" was certainly not the case.

Getting back to the matter of the MC and his death, was anyone else disturbed by the "afterlife" that was shown in the bad ending? I guess conciousness comes from and returns to that "amalgamation of intelligence" and that it gets recycled into new sapient life or something. I found it to be rather horrifying honestly. Considering that this is completely different from what Amicus described, I imagine that this only happens to species outside of the siblings and the uplifted children, which is rather disturbing on its own. If the MC is hanging out in the sibling afterlife or limbo right now, I hope he talks to Amicus' parents in some way, or Cassius and Cato. I feel like those would be neat conversations. And hopefully he can get Earth reintroduced to the Galaxias to spare humanity that nightmare of an afterlife.

I don't mean primitive as in behaviour. I mean as in society. If you introduce technology so advanced it appears to be magic to a society which is too primitive to understand, it will interpret it as magic. It's no wonder the parents were interpreted as gods. Do so from the 1700's on, however, when humanity has a good enough grounding in science and secular thought to not immediately jump to magic or religion, and you stand a much better chance of getting a positive result. The Romans, the Egyptians, and the Greeks may have all been advanced, but their societies were stooped in religion and superstition as any other pre-modern society.

In regards to the afterlife, I was under the assumption that the disembodied souls were those the parents had chosen to save. Don't souls they don't care for just dissolve, as your does in the bad ending? The concept of the souls of the dead joining with the divine after death is called henosis. Achieving genosis (The knowledge required to see the universe as it truly is) and henosis (Union with the divine) was central to Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, and many other ancient religious philosophies. Until you achieved genosis and henosis, it was thought you would reincarnate. This would go on for as long as was required for you to free yourself. It's not exactly what happens in the game, but I think Howly probably has working knowledge of Neoplatonism and other ancient religious philosophies and used them when designing the game's afterlife and metaphysics. It hasn't been confirmed, but given the game's understanding of classical culture and religion, I think Howly probably studies both.

Your arguments that humanity was too primitive still do not carry weight, considering that the parents successfully managed to uplift the siblings from very primitive societies, and the siblings do the same thing to child species. It has been established that the siblings were uplifted from essentially nothing. The fact that the wolves tried to talk to the "gods" using space DMT suggests that they were barely tribal. You say that attempting an uplift in a society comparable to 1700s Earth would have a higher chance of success, but the main issue with that is that not a single species that we know of other than humans have reached that point of societal development naturally. The statements of Amicus and others seem to imply that the independent development of civilization is completely unheard of, so all uplifted civilizations must be assumed to have been uplifted from societies that could be comparable to the Stone Age on Earth. In fact, uplifting Earth during the 1700s probably would have ended in total failure. By that point, such a society would be incredibly difficult to mold by outside forces.

Humanity is utterly unique in the setting of Adastra, as it is the only species to have naturally developed advanced civilization and sibling-level intelligence entirely on it's own. The idea that humanity was too "primitive", especially compared to the level that every other species was uplifted from, is rather absurd. If it were true, then there would be no barriers to uplifiting humanity now in the modern day, yet when the MC asked if there was something wrong with humans, the Monitor replied "yes, in a way", meaning whatever made humanity difficult to manage is still a factor in the modern day. Instead, I theorize that the issue with humanity is behavioral. Look at the problems the parents have with the wolves, for example. They are disruptive and their obedience and adherence to the parents and their philosophy is somewhat lacking. I imagine that humanity confronts them with a similar problem, but dialed to 11. Human religion, myth, and legend is rife with stories about how humanity is rebellious towards God or Gods. Eve and the apple, and the Jews constantly disobeying God are just two examples from a single religion. The struggle against the divine is a core part of our collective myth, and when placed into the setting of Adastra, can show you a lot about how humans must have acted when confronted with alien "gods" trying to control them. They managed to pass on their culture and establish themselves in our religions, but that's it. Humans just don't like being told what to do. Hell, you even see that in this VN, as the MC is constantly mistrustful of the parents and even suffers a brief existential crisis in one of the early visions when he begins to feel that his path is being determined for him. They had to bait him with a vision of his own death and the devastation it caused Amicus to get him to cooperate, and even then you are still given the option to tell them to go fuck themselves. Of course, this is all speculation, but I maintain the belief that being too "primitive" had nothing to with why the uplifts failed. There is just so much evidence to the contrary.

Regarding the religion standpoint, when the MC "dissolves" in the bad ending, I don't think it is a true loss of self. After he merges with the source, it is clear that he still retains some sort of individuality and sense of self considering his use of "I" when describing what he is feeling. Still seems rather hellish in my opinion. From what Amicus says, we can assume that souls that aren't thrown back into the source merge with the parents in some way while also maintaining individuality in some form of afterlife, as Amicus said that he will see his parents again. Considering that the parents have preserved the MC twice so far, we can assume that what Amicus believes is the truth, even though we have yet to see this afterlife.

I concede to your argument regarding humanity being too primitive to uplift. What I am confused about though is why the parents gave up. With their technology, they should have been able to force humanity into compliance. Could we really have driven them off with swords and shields? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Humanity managed it in Stargate, but then the Egyptians buried the gate and the location of Earth was lost. Perhaps the parents gave up because it was costing them too much for little gain. Maybe they eventually grew to consider us a failed species.

I highly doubt that the parents consider humanity to be a failed species. On the contrary, the Monitor said that humanity is "more than capable". They tried eight separate times to uplift Earth, whereas every other child race is abandoned after the first attempt outside of recent attempts by the Khemians to uplift abandoned children, a clear indicator that there is something about humanity that makes the parents REALLY want to uplift us. Even when they failed, they decided to play the long game and wait until the present day to bring humanity back into the fold, and they started by entrusting the fate of the galaxy to human. It honestly isn't very hard to see why they are so interested in humanity. Compared to the siblings, humans have a far greater understanding of technology and science (in certain fields anyway), or at the very least a much more robust scientific method. The siblings might have more advanced technology, but they barely understand how half of it even works because it is parent tech that they never even bothered trying to work out because it is all handed to them. Portable technology is practically non-existent among the wolves, yet any human in a first world nation on Earth is probably less then three feet from a portable device at any given time. Despite the advanced weaponry used by the palace drones on Adastra, we can assume that such weaponry is not commonplace since the most prominent art of Cato has him fighting with a SWORD. Outside of the Khemians, the siblings are completely reliant on the parents for the stretch drive because they can't replicate it. Funny thing is, humans already have a very good understanding of how a stretch drive (otherwise known as a "warp drive" or officially as an "Alcubierre drive") would work. Drop a stretch drive off on Earth and we could probably have it reversed engineered in twenty or thirty years assuming a concentrated global effort.

There is also our rate of technological progression. Wolves live between two to three hundred years, so in a single wolven lifetime, humanity has gone from burning kerosene for light, to harnessing electricity and achieving manned flight, to splitting the atom, to putting a man on the moon, to developing complex handheld supercomputers, a global communication system that probably handles more traffic than the entire galaxy combined due to our sheer population size compared to every other species, and artificial intelligence that seems like it is not far off from those used by the siblings. And all of this was accomplished without any help from the parents or the siblings. Hardly a "failed" species in my opinion.

They probably gave up for the same reason I mentioned earlier; we just don't like being told what to do. Short of threatening genocide (which I highly doubt they would even consider), there is not much that they could have done to force compliance. They probably just decided to let humanity develop naturally.

You know, I'm starting to think that the parents were kinda hoping this would happen, where Marco dies and Amicus will probably try to talk to the parents and meet Marco in some vision or dream, like Cassius did with the DMT drug. That way, Marco will be unable to commit suicide like Meera has, preventing drusus (or in this case, Amicus) from choosing the lover or the empire. When Meera committed suicide, it is likely that she denied the "benevolence" of the gods, causing her to die permanently.
I'm thinking that the parents want to abandon the wolves as one of the sibling species holding the responsibility of the Romanus and hand it over to another species, more specifically, I believe humanity.
I dont know, though. I just replayed the whole VN to get more clues and to paint myself a clearer picture.

And what if the bad ending is the result of what actualy happens if you reject the will of the parents, and the good ending is just a future vision of those exact events?

I think it would be a good explanation for the phrase "we told you that this could be prevented, and it will be"

(Of course, this would emply that maybe Amicus is not the one the parents are talking of when they say "Be at peace for now, for he will come for you", and " wait for him...")

Not the guy you are replying to, but while "you won't leave him to be alone" is definitely referring to Amicus, I am beginning to think that "he will come for you" and "wait for him" are referring to the Monitor. Think about it, the only way that Amicus could possibly "come" for the MC is by directly confronting the parents from the device in the archives, so why doesn't that happen in the bad ending? The only difference between the two outcomes are the choices that the MC made, so why would Amicus act any differently? Why would he petition the parents in the "to be continued" cliffhanger but not the bad ending?

This image is one that Howly posted when letting us know that build 12 was going to have a slight delay. We didn't see this background in part 1, so it must be in part 2. It looks rather similar to the background that is used when the Monitor makes an appearance, so I theorize that is exactly what will happen. The Monitor will come for the MC and then do whatever needs to be done to bring the MC back from the dead. Remember, the parents can't directly interact with our universe, so they created the monitors as stand-ins for them. It makes sense that our Monitor would be involved somehow.

I'm 100% certain Amicus would act exactly the same and petition the parents in both scenarios. The difference would be how the parents act. In the good ending the parents like your answers and will allow you to be saved. In the bad ending they don't like your answers, so they'll let you die permanently because they can't use you.

Doesn't change the fact that all Amicus can really do is ask them to bring him back. He is completely reliant on them to do so, so I still find it implausible that he is the one who is going to "come" for the MC when the MC is currently a disembodied conciousness/soul in what we can assume to be some sort of dimension outside of normal space. The Monitor would need to be involved in any method used to bring him back. The only other scenario that I can think of is that Amicus goes and smokes somni in his grief or something, thus bypassing the parents completely and ends up meeting with the MC in limbo, and the Monitor takes them on a spirit quest or something

Actually, I never thought about where the parents actually are, and why they need the Monitor to interact with the real world. Given it is them who granted the stretch drive to the siblings and they who refuel it every so often, they must exist in subspace rather than realspace, possibly in the realm the stretch drive uses for travel. This realm may also be the universe's afterlife. Assuming I'm correct, it's probably a realm of pure energy somewhat similar to the warp. Whether or not it has demons I don't know. Cassius seemed to think they exist, but then he was high on space weed/LSD.

Bruh, the stretch drive is just their name for what we would call a warp drive (or Alcubierre drive if you want to be official). It doesn't utilize a separate dimension to travel. Instead, it warps space around the ship, compressing it in the front and stretching it in the back. Technically the ship wouldn't be moving at all, rather, space would be moving around the ship, thus achieving the equivalent superluminal speeds without violating the laws of physics. Amicus gives a rudimentary explanation of this near the beginning of the VN. Howly got it a little wrong though. Amicus said that the ships also regulate the passage of time to protect the occupants from the severe time dilation that would occur from moving at such speeds. However, since the ship isn't technically moving, there would be no time dilation. My headcanon explanation for this is that Amicus is just a doofus who doesn't really understand what he is talking about.

The "fuel" that the parents provide is likely exotic matter with negative mass, which is a requirement in all variants of the theory. Though IRL versions of the theory speculate that we can instead use the casimir vacuum to fulfill that requirement.

Well someone asked him if we would see Amicus if we went to Khemia, and Haps said that maybe he could come as an "ambassador". TBH I think it would be weird if Amicus doesn't stay on the throne in at least one ending, though I would love to see him sent to Earth as an ambassador in the event that humanity is reintroduced to the galaxy. Then, the MC wouldn't have to choose between Amicus or his life on Earth.

Though honestly I think Haps is just fucking with us. Amicus' card in that card game EchoProject is collaborating with is called "The Emperor" after all, and one of the core struggles of the VN was working to put him on the throne. Then again, Amicus has already shown that he would choose the MC over the throne, so I can't really tell what will happen at the end of all of this.

At least Haps let us know that Amicus would bottom for the MC even if it might take some convincing. The dream isn't dead yet lads.

Well your kinda there but it was actually because of the pressure he's going through at the time which got to him. At one point we find out about alex being a spy and he exposes neferu saying "You're floundering here, looking for a name for yourself. The Pharaoh practically tossed you off the planet to attempt to cultivate a hopeless alliance on adastra. How unfulfilling it must be to be the second born; unable to escape the shadow of your brother, unable to make father proud, stuck on this moon getting your balls kicked in by the bigot wolves. Even your sisters, the third and the fourth born, have secured positions of greater prestige than you. In an era when the royal family already has given up so much power, you're desperate behind that facade of confidence, terrified of withering away into historical insignificance. You'll be less than a footnote in the khemian history books."

At one point when neferu stops crying and he explains that his parents sent him on a mission to make an alliance with the wolves and if he were not to succeed, he would be banished. Then mc says that it seems unfair but neferu remarks after what he had caused he kinda deserves it. I have a theory that we can probably assume when neferu was young he was practically neglected by his parents or just his father due to his siblings doing bigger and better things and who would rather pay attention to them instead of him. Then when he was older he probably did something wrong "most likely something similar to what amicus did five years ago, probably even worst." that he made a fool of himself and his family maybe to the point were they would kill him but I'm guessing they made a deal with him to make an alliance with the upcoming emperor of adastra maybe due to amicus father perishing. Anyways I'm guessing neferu had no other choice and accepted the mission, so he had to find a way to get on there planet but I'm not sure how he decided to get there due to him being on the planet Lux which virginia mentions that he was touring the siblings which around the time until depletion happened and considering his accommodations were so poor, she thought it was the best to bring him to adastra. "and to be honest, she's truly someone he can really trust due to her act of kindness and loyalty to him, and when he of course made that deal with amicus sure she got a disgusted but she doesn't hate him after what he had to do. Even when things got chaotic, she still wants to work with him and find a way to make amicus emperor." of course as time went on things got stressful for him, especially when amicus and mc kinda ruined his plans which he had to hide how he felt about that. Probably pulling off that usaul smirk, trying to finish his mission and then it all gets to him not knowing if he's going to make his father happy of his accomplishments and probably is afraid to be forgotten.

Again this is a theory so I may not get everything correct.

He really needs to secure the alliance between his people and the wolves to prove himself to his family after some unspecified incident or incidents that essentially disowned him. To do that, he needs Amicus on the throne. However, because Amicus made made first contact with an abandoned child race that had lost information about alien life and abducted the MC (unwittingly at the direction of the parents), Cato rigged the trials to put Cassius on the throne, which spiraled into Amicus being thrown into the dungeons. Cassius on the throne with Cato pulling the strings meant that an alliance was certainly not going to happen, and the stress got to him, he got drunk which brought out a little about how he feels about non-sibling, and even non jackal races, and blamed the MC and Amicus for all of his problems. He was just sober enough to realize that he had just gravely insulted the closest thing he had to a friend on the entire moon, so he broke down. It was a combination of everything that had happened that led to it.
>>1691518
Normally I don't care one way or the other, but the fact that the MC is human is a pretty important part of the story. I really hope that Howly doesn't have the parents slap his soul in wolf or something to bring him back. I wouldn't hate it or anything, but it seems like the wrong choice to make.

The other guy has a point about Virginia being a trustworthy friend and call me crazy but you can even suggest it's one of the most solid relationships in the game that doesn't have any sexual motives in any way. When they are together you can see their loyal as well as kind, there not being fake bitches and they don't play their little games "unlike Alex" around each other and in the end of the day try to get the job done and even when they didn't have to worry about that in the beginning of the game. When she finds out how neferu had sex with amicus, she is still is willing to work with him after what he did. When Neferu had his breakdown he didn't tell her what happened because he didn't want to worry her and instead has toast with her and mc after they confronted with Cassuis to step down. And I'm sorry if I over reacted a bit but it's just something people need to notice more often.

While the relationship between Virginia and Neferu is friendly, I would not call them friends. They need each other to further their goals. If it wasn't for that, I think that they would be cordial to each other, but that is it. I certainly don't think that Neferu would have ever told Virginia everything that he told the MC while drunk. Virginia doesn't seem like the type of person who cultivates friendships, as shown by her interactions with the MC, particularly in their talk right after Cassius agreed to abdicate the throne. She was completely shocked when the MC agreed to convince Amicus to make her his advisor, like she was expecting him to have some sort of ulterior motive or make her work for it more in some way. That really gives a lot of insight to how she sees her relationships with others.

Amicus said that he would see his parents again in a way that implies individuality is maintained. If Cassius is dead, we might see him depending on how part 2 plays out. Seeing Amicus' parents would be cool too imo.

If it happens I doubt we will get spritework for it, but it would still be cool. We know little about the father despite his assassination setting the events of the plot into motion, and their mother was apparently extremely important to Cassius. I also want to know their family name. Even Roman commoners in the imperial period had several names, yet the only wolf we have seen with multiple names is Marcus Manius, and even then those were both personal names in the Roman period. I highly doubt Amicus is just "Amicus".

The father would most definitely say Amicus. It is his birthright as the firstborn and from what we know, Cassius did not have the best relationship with their father. He likely wouldn't even give a thought to Virginia. Amicus is probably one of the most "progressive" wolves on the moon, yet even he didn't even consider Virginia for his advisor until the MC brought it up, and even then he believed that it would negatively hurt his image. Their mother had the best relationship with Cassius, but she was probably close enough to him to know that he was not suited for the throne. As a woman she would be more sympathetic to Virginia, yet also aware that it would take a drastic change in society for her to be accepted on the throne.

I want to know how they felt about both their sons being gay and how they feel about Amicus being in a relationship with someone from a child race.

I highly doubt it would happen but if he were to ask them that, it could tell us a lot of how they raised them for example, it would be expected for parents to say they couldn't choose between them because they love them all equally, but if they just say Amicus with no explanation, that really shows how much praise they gave to poor Amicus and I'm not trying to put Amicus in a bad light because it's not his fault if not it's honestly his parents fault especially his father. For god sakes when Amicus had sex with Neferu and later apologizes to Mc and says..."Everything in this damned empire. I've done absolutely nothing right. Everything has been handed to me on a platter my entire life, but the first time I actually have to fight for it."

This really shows that they spoiled him in a way were they didn't think of the precautions of him ever growing up and standing up for himself also being independent and it explains "to me" why Amicus had a necessity being bit clingy and it's because his parents never gave him the chance to stand up for himself, fight for what he feels is right, follow his heart, even deal with his own problems heck they didn't even give him advice which which could have helped him, even Cassuis and Virginia had to go through this bullshit. For Cassuis it's evident that he had a better relationship with his mother for unexplained reasons which also made him a clingy person and when his mother died he didn't have anyone else to trust which explains his repulsive behavior, having a difficult time showing any genuine affection for his siblings or others, even having a voice of his own and talk about his feelings. Until Cato came into his life which he must have taken as guidance but it turned out to be misguidance due to Cato furthering apart the relationship he had with his siblings which Amicus once mentions that it was a once very close one until their mother died. Now for Virginia it's not really said who she had a better relationship with but it is noted that she was kind of neglected due to her mother being more with Cassuis and Amicus with his Father and in my opinion it makes her the most sophisticated and independent person out of the two due to her maybe the type of relationship she with her parents compared to the two which must have affected her to the point were she has trust issues, always being closed off to others around her.

and if it wasn't evident already I don't really like their parents and it gets me really fired up of how much they had to put them through, hopefully you guys get an idea of the what I'm trying to say.

Honestly I never really liked them either but I feel like they shouldn't take all the blame if not its mostly Cato fault for making them aware of how their parents treated them differently with amicus being more praised because of being male and the first born, cassuis being fragile due to his condition and I'm not if he is the youngest, and for virginia being a girl. I know it's some fucked up shit but then again that's how the romans raised their children having higher opportunities because of being male and the first born.

I wouldn't be surprised if mc gets angry with them in anyway or form

Amicus has been raised from birth to take the throne, so it makes perfect sense why his parents, or at least his father, would favor him in this hypothetical situation. Even Cassius admits that he was always meant to be emperor. We haven't seen much of it outside of his speech during the second trial, but he obviously must have some natural ability to lead when even the Parents want him on the throne. Which is funny, since everyone around Amicus, even the MC to some extent, thinks he is an idiot.

Whatever the case, I doubt the MC would even ask them something like that in the small chance that he sees them on his spirit quest in part 2. And if the MC gets angry at them, it would probably only be because THEY might be angry that their son is in a gay relationship with a member of an abandoned child race, who has the audacity to judge their parenting methods as they float through the afterlife. The father might thank him for mortally wounding Cato and saving Amicus, though, so that conversation can go either way.

There's really no point to be mad or hate Amicus parents of how they raised them if they did nothing wrong in the first place. If not, it was all Cato's fault corrupting the relationship Amicus had with his siblings and ruining there vision of how they saw the world considering they were still young when he came into there lives.

>>1692863
Why in the hell should Amicus parent's be mad at mc for dating him. Sure he is a abandoned but they should be more thankful for him because he practically saved everyone on the planet including Amicus and the others from Cato who would have possibly started another war causing corruption or even worst.

I don't know if you have noticed, but being gay isn't the best trait to have on Adastra, nor are the wolves the most tolerant sibling race when it comes to the children or even other siblings. All of their children are essentially slaves. Amicus' father had to shut down the media like it was fucking North Korea to keep the people from seeing Amicus kiss another dude. And because of this taboo relationship, Amicus will probably not secure a marriage that would be politically beneficial, nor will he be able to produce an heir. Romans on Earth were known to rely on adoption to continue the family, but we don't know how important blood ties are on Adastra. This would essentially be like living in 1920s America as a gay guy and then introducing your parents to your black boyfriend or something.

Also, why the hell are you bringing Cato into the conversation like he had anything to do with their upbringing or their relationship with each other? There is absolutely zero indication that Cato had anything to do with any of that. In fact, the only thing we can even pin on him in this regard is that he was the combat instructor for Amicus and Cassius, but that is literally it.

When i made the comment about the MC meeting their parents i didnt think there would be so many thoughts on the subject. It is nice to see so many opinions on it.

I personally feel if MC asked who should be emperor i dont feel the would pick Amicus for he is the first born but rather he wants to move adastra into the light and be one with siblings again. Which i think (i could be wrong) i read somewhere Amicus say he father was trying to do it to but everything had to be slow and steady and not all at once. I also feel that the whole thing with the media and Amicus when he was younger was more so to help Amicus keep his image in somewhat good standing for when he became emperor.

I would love to know what Amicus, Cassius and Virginia's parents think of them in regards as to how they see them now. I feel Cassius clang to his mother growing up because of his genetic disease and she being the only one he knew would understand him more. Amicus i just dont know yet. I feel he had everything handed to him as one would expect for a first born and a culture like Adastra. I want to say Virginia getting the shaft for being a female. But i dont think so. Growing up i think she say they way life was for the 3 of them and what seems like being ignored she became a strong independent woman. Which would make her i feel a great adviser.

Alright, so part 2 was weird as hell and it almost reached Echo levels of dread.

Spoiler

So, Howly said the following for this update:
>Also, stay tuned this month for a few important announcements about Adastra, including some possible changes for the current VN, and also what might be in store for the future of Adastra.

I feel like he is expanding this to go far beyond the original scope that he intended when he started out with this VN. Makes sense, Adastra is by far the most successful project that EchoProject has worked on thus far, and pretty much everyone involved wants this to continue. And from what this update has shown, things are about to get pretty wild. Though the MC is definitely gonna come back in some way, I hope that Amicus and the MC stay together for wherever Howly is taking this. That last scene has me a little worried, but the fact that patrons will probably riot if that happens reassures me a little. That, and the parents themselves said that "you will not leave him to be alone". Whatever the case, now we gotta wait until the 24th to see where this goes.

What, you think the MC is just gonna fade away or something? That would be a ridiculous ending and there is really nothing to support that idea.
>>1695008
I don't think the parents can be entirely trusted anymore. Their focus is the long game and the evil Outer God they oppose. What happens to a chosen individual means nothing in this plan, as someone else can take the role at a later time, as what happened to Meera and what happened to the MC in the bad ending. If they have to lie to them to save the universe, I doubt they would have any qualms about it because in the end, what is one life against billions?

The only times I think that we can trust them are times when they really have no reason to lie, like right after the MC died. They said that his death would somehow be reversed and that he would not leave Amicus to be alone. As the MC was dead, he lacked any agency or means to disobey them, so this is probably a time where they are telling the truth. However, we might not like how any of that comes to pass. For all we know, "not leaving him alone" may have only referred to that one very specific scene at the end there, and the fact that the MC having a continued role to play and Amicus having to make a decision are mentioned in the same sentence may imply that they are about to be separated.

But maybe not. Haps did tease us with
>>1676360
as a "sneak peak" and I can't really think of why there would be an illustration of Amicus' ass if the MC isn't involved somehow.

Whatever the case, whatever the Parents say right now is pretty suspect when it comes to the fates of Amicus and the MC.

Both of those would be rather bizzare. I think that the MC is gonna come back in his old body, but whatever decision Amicus has to make will affect him.

First possibility, and least likely in my opinion, is that Amicus will be given the same choice given to Drusus; save his empire or his lover. In this case, the MC's role is to die for the greater good. I find this unlikely because the MC is definitely gonna come back, as the parents told him that his death will be reversed and that he wouldn't leave Amicus alone, which means Amicus would have to choose him in this scenario, and I can't see how this would continue from there.

Second possibility is that Amicus will have to choose whether or not to break his promises to the MC, both the promise to take him home and the promise to let him have a say in the decisions that affect him. In this scenario, the MC's role will be to help Amicus unite the siblings. Humans may have been designed to help facilitate this as a multicultural species, so it makes sense that the MC might help. Amicus will obviously choose to keep the MC with him, and the parents know this, thus allowing the plot to continue.

Assuming the second scenario will happen, I believe that Amicus and the MC will either wake up in the archive all healed and right as rain, or time will wind back a bit to just before the MC died, this time dodging the blow or merely being wounded instead. If the latter happens, then the MC died the first time just so that the parents could use him as leverage against Amicus to get him to play along with their plans, as the parents know that he would do anything to keep him safe.

I don't think they were trying to say that "considering KHIII didn't end like that.". I think what they're meaning to say is, Amicus saves Mc but he ends up paying the price due to meddling his way to bring Mc back from the dead "like how Sora did with Kairi and his existence ended up getting erased." which makes sense but you are right about what you said about the parents, they're future doesn't seem clear so it opens many possibilities of how this could all end.

Hopefully everything turns out ok for the two and of course for rest of the crew.

The parents themselves told the MC that his death will be reversed, and that Amicus would come for him. Amicus pulling him back from the dead was clearly part of their plan, and punishing Amicus for that wouldn't make any sense, as he is apparently as critical to their plans as the MC is. They both can be replaced if needed, but that still sets them back presumably centuries in their plans at the very least, so it isn't something they are gonna do unless they absolutely need to

Why is no one talking about "The Other" bullshit? We spent the whole story with a political intrigue plot and that was enough, Amicus' struggle to get to the throne was interesting. But now at the very end of the story we get this ass pull, a shameless sequel bait reveal that there's a big bad alien thing coming to fuck shit up. Why was this even necessary?
Is this to justify the Parents' interest on Amicus and the main character? We didn't need that, it makes sense they'd care about who becomes Emperor. And if Howly wants to write more stories on the Adastra universe he could make up just about any plot on any of the other civilizations. He doesn't need this end of the galaxy plotline.
Now Adastra is eerily similar to Mass Effect. We spend the game opposing a very concrete rival, only to be told at the end that the real big bad is an alien army coming from some place else to wreck everything. You have a number of choices that ultimately have no real impact. Now tune in for the sequel. And just like Mass Effect, whatever Howly is cooking up for the big reveal about this "The Other" thing it will be underwhelming, because this very trope is stale. There's nothing he can make that will be satisfying.
After Marco's first death and all the ensuing confusion I had basically given up on Adastra ever being actually good. But I'll admit I was enjoying the latest update when it was about Amicus FINALLY getting some well deserved character development, that was more than enough to carry the story to a satisfying end but he had to come up with something that uninspired. Now I've gone all the way to ironically enjoying the shitshow this has become. It went from plain badly written to so bad it's good. I was roaring in laughter when I read about "the Other", I couldn't believe it.

You don't get it. Adastra: Cucks Die Twice is a space opera literary experiment on how many blue-balling cliffhangers, shameless ass pulls, derailed character arcs and kicks to the balls an audience will take if you give them one really well-drawn png to lust over. What's the minimum amount of dopamine they need to endure the maximum humiliation and pain? That's the question they are trying to answer. It's the essence of CBT and cuckshit in the form of a VN.

No one is calling this Shakespearean, but I wouldn't call the writing bad, either. Just because a trope like the "ancient darkness" is common doesn't mean it's bad, nor is a development like this entirely contrived. Sure, intrigue and politics are a big part of this VN, but from the very beginning we were aware that supernatural forces were manipulating these events. What I like about the introduction of this "Other" and the talk with the parents in this last update is that this doesn't seem like a story of "good" versus "evil". Howly has depicted the parents to be almost as horrifying as the "Other", maybe even more so since we only have a vague understanding of what it is right now. They have almost no regard for individuals as their plans stretch out over millennia. Free will is an illusion and those who deviate from their path are discarded, like the MC in the bad ending. I find that to be a neat subversion of the stereotypical "benevolent god(s)" trope that is common in works of fiction, even if such an idea isn't entirely unique on its own.

I love cosmic horror so I hope we get some more of that, as long as it stays mostly as a background threat for now while the characters deal with more politics and intrigue. I'd prefer a more gradual buildup rather than immediately jumping into Lovecraftian territory, and so far I am satisfied with how this has developed.

Man, imagine being so flabbergasted over the elderitch space horror trope reveal that you -roar with laughter- fucking lol. There being something much larger going on had been hinted at during the ENTIRE VN, and if you missed it, maybe you just have trouble with reading comprehension. You make it sound like it had absolutely no build up at all.

Based on your post, I suggest you try a more down-to-Earth VN that is easier for you to understand so you do not have to blame - bad writing - for your own personal issues with a trope. Especially considering that we have not even seen at all how it will be handled.

Anyway, for me, Adastra is in the top 3 best written furry VNs out there right now and after this update I am even more invested.

Not sure why people are focusing so much on this Other business. I doubt it will play much of a role in the story/future stories considering the parents said it would not actually reach them for millennia, or whatever.

Yeah, seemed like a vague backdrop to the main story, which was the struggle for the throne. And I do not think it should have been surprising at all. There were constant hints about something big and ominous going on behind the scenes, as others have said.
On the topic of writing quality, I can only play Tennis Ace, which has really suffered with pacing lately, and Echo Project games. Everything else I tried, at least in the gay furry demographic, is surprisingly bad lol. Despite some flaws, Adastra really is fantastically done for what it is.

You don't introduce a universe-consuming Outer God without it trying to consume the galaxy at some point in the story. It is basically Chekhov's gun, it HAS to become a direct threat eventually. That said, I doubt it will happen anytime soon, and Howly seems content with a slow build up so far which I am perfectly fine with.

I wonder when Howly is going to make that announcement about possible changes to the VN and the future of Adastra. The public release of build 12 on the 10th seems like the best time for that since I think he would do it before he releases build 13 on the 24th.

Well yeah, the parents just told Amicus that he and the MC have important roles to play still, so I fully expect that the VN is about to expand far beyond its original scope, with both of them remaining central characters. I would think that the MC would remain the MC and he will join Amicus in helping to unite the galaxy. At least I would hope so, anyway. I don't really see how a continuation of this VN would work without either of them, especially after the last update and the fact that Amicus is so popular.

I was just wondering when Howly was going to formally announce it.

Alright, so Howly just posted an update about new spritework for Amicus.

>Hey guys! So Haps has been hard at work on a new sprite set for Amicus. Some of the main reasons being that he wanted to work with a higher resolution to detail the sprites more, bulk Amicus up a bit, and also better match the sprites with Amicus's look in the CGs. These sprites will be used at some point for...something else, but we could also implement them into Adastra if you guys would like that. I understand that changing sprite art when a project is so deep into development can be controversial, so this is more of a test to see what you guys think first before we make any decisions. To figure that out, below are links to a version of the game with the new sprites implemented, clothed ones only though, so when Amicus isn't fully clothed it will default back to the original sprites. This might help you compare and decide better. I have also attached several examples of Amicus in different stages of undress so you can get a better look at his build. Be warned that several of these are NSFW. Once you've decided, please select the version you like best in the poll!

I downloaded the test build that has some of the new sprites, and while overall I find them to be an improvement, I feel that his new angry sprite makes him look less intimidating. He honestly looks more pouty than frightening, which I guess suits his character but it is still a bit weird. I think part of it is that his thighs look thicker. Though, the one where he bares his teeth is fine in my opinion. Other than that, the eyes seem a bit too close together for some of them but overall I think it is an improvement.

The crying sprite definitely got an improvement.

I am fairly certain that was before he decided to expand this. The parents told Amicus in the last update that he is the "One True Emperor" who needs to unite the galaxy, and the MC is going to have a role to play along with him. Tje MC was told by the parents that "you will not leave him to be alone", so they are pretty much stuck together as mandated by alien gods. That hardly sounds like either of their stories are finished. Besides, Haps remade EVERY sprite and made some new ones as well. That isn't something that you would do for a character that is about to be reduced to a minor role.

Given the revelations at the end of build 12, that could easily be referring to his personal story of becoming emperor. Build 12 pretty much revealed that Amicus and the MC are the central components of the parents plans. There is no way Howly would sideline either of them after a reveal like that, especially since the parents want Amicus to focus on Khemia, the planet that most everyone thinks the VN will focus on next.

And I stand by the assertion that reworking every single one of his sprites while making new ones on top of that effort would be wasted on a character that will no longer have a central role in the story. Maybe if they were made as replacements for the current VN, but they weren't. Howly specifically said that they were made for "something else"

The public release of build 12 is out. Nothing has changed as far as I can tell aside from grammar corrections and fixing a few parts where Alexios and Amicus would address the MC as Marco instead of the player-chosen name. No news about anything else either, so Howly must be planning to announce that stuff at a latter date, maybe with the release of build 13 on the 24th.

So right now the new sprites for Amicus are leading by almost a hundred votes. The comment section for the poll has some valid, constructive criticism though. Most seems to be aimed at how thick his thighs/hips are, "feminine" eyes in some of the sprites, and how the angry sprite makes him seem less intimidating. Hopefully Haps takes it in stride, since they are all well made regardless of personal opinion on aesthetics.

I think a lot of it is just being so used to the original sprites after having them for over a year. The way Haps has been drawing Amicus has been slowly changing over the past year as seen by the in-game illustrations and the stuff he puts out on twitter, but since most of the time we are seeing these sprites, it is a rather stark change at first. But I agree that some of the sprites are less masculine or "handsome" than the originals. A lot of it in my opinion would be the aforementioned problems with the thighs and eyes that make him look more feminine, and the angry sprite being a straight downgrade. I doubt they are gonna switch out the sprites in the current VN, as Howly said that it might not happen even if everyone voted for it.

Though, after playing through the test build with the new ones, they really have started to grow on me so I think that we just need to adjust to them for the most part. Some of the new sprites are honestly perfect in almost every way, especially these ones where he is in profile. Once they switch over to these ones for the continuation/sequel, I don't think I will mind it at all, especially if Haps works to address the problems people have brought up with them.

And weren't people angry at the Echo sprites because the artist changed or something? Not really the case here.

i think haps did well with new sprites. the perspective in angry one is a little wrong, but i really disliked the old version so whatever. old eyes (of all the old sprites) looked off compared to illustrations, love this change, as much as all the new poses and little details.

his leather pants always made his wide hips stand out, now the stand out even more. without pants he looks fine, so im not really sure what adjustment do i want here besides straight up removing half of the thicc

also the dick w this pattern looks damn delicious

>>1698878
His thighs and hips were always on the thicker side but the way he drew the pants this time really made it stand out. Howly said that Haps redid the sprites partly because he wanted to "bulk up" Amicus a bit, but the problem here is that if anything his upper body looks slimmer just because the hips look wider now. It makes him look shorter and a little less manly in my opinion. When it comes to the eyes, I think I just need to adjust to them. The new ones make him resemble Virginia in a way, which makes sense because they are siblings I suppose but it also takes away a bit of that masculinity in a few of his neutral poses. And this is just really minor and nothing to do with his physical build, but I personally miss that necklace that he wears in the sprites and some of the earlier illustrations. Haps has stopped drawing it in all of his art for Amicus and I really don't know why. It must just be annoying to draw or something, but I still miss it.

I mean, I really like the new sprites, but I doubt that there isn't gonna be a few changes to them because of the massive amount of feedback in the comment section on that poll.

I have a feeling that Marco would not revive from the dead but rather alive in the world of void; the spacetime world; the universe or whatever.

When the parent said "You will not leave him alone" & "Wait for him", I think the parent implies that Marco is alive and will accompany Amicus in his emperorship journey, but the parent never said that he's "alive" or he'll be revived to his body. It could very well be that Marco's mind and soul is alive and float in this world, but his body is already long gone. I theorize that the parent will stay true to their word, only that Marco would not accompany Amicus in real world, but in the universe realm where they communicate everytime Amicus decided to merge with the universe through touching the sphere or when the parent decide to pull Marco from the amalgamation of intelligence.

I do not think that this will happen. The end of build 12 seems to imply that Amicus and the MC will remain central characters in however the story continues. That can't happen if the MC is trapped in purgatory. Also, you forget that the parents told him that his death will be prevented. Whether they bring him back by resorting to time travel, fixing his old body, or giving him a new one, it is clear that his death is meant to be temporary.

If Amicus knew what Alex had done when he saw him in the palace, I have no doubt that he would have killed him on the spot. He might still kill him or at least want to, depending on how the next update goes. Regarding Cassius, he would probably feel completely betrayed. Alex was the one person he trusted near the end there aside from Virginia and maybe the MC to a limited extent. In the event that Cassius survived, I doubt that their relationship will continue unless the MC choses not to reveal his betrayal and somehow convinces Virginia to do the same. It would be neat if we get to decide what happens to him, since I doubt that he is going to be in the continuation of the VN after everything that has happened.

If he were to find out, he would honestly be heartbroken to the point were he would be extremely depressed possibly would attempt suicide "just like Amicus when he was overdosing on stress tablets because of Mc died the first time" and I wouldn't be surprised if he never forgives Alex.

I don't think that Amicus was explicitly trying to commit suicide. He probably WANTED to die, but I doubt he would have gone through with it. Though when Cato killed the MC, I have no doubt that he would have killed himself in the bad ending because he definitely was not going to get the MC back. Cassius would definitely try to kill himself though, since he has even fewer positive relationships in his life than Amicus does. Finding out about Alexios would break him.

So Howly just posted something that I can only call a teaser, using the image from this post, entitled "Preparing for Khemia"
>>1688213
It reads as follows:

>Hello, Mother.

>In your last message you mentioned wanting me to update you on how I have been doing since being chosen.

>Well, I have not been able to sleep these past few nights. The thought that I'll be departing soon for Khemia has me pacing the floor to the point that even Veteris is getting impatient with me. The fact that I'll even be a bystander to witnessing the formation of the alliance is enough to make me want to howl, which of course I will not do. I'm not a pup anymore, and I must stay composed. My maturity was the very reason that I was chosen from amongst my peers to join the negotiation party.

>Which now also reminds me that I'll be meeting the Emperor tomorrow, along with the second son of the Pharaoh... The second son! Every time these thoughts cross my mind I feel again that I might irritate my mentor with my excitement. I must try to get some sleep. I do not want to appear haggard in front of my leader.

>I hope that you're doing well, Mother, and I hope that the compensation for my mission has reached you. I will be sure to visit you the moment I return from Khemia.

>Sending all my love,

>Scipio

No idea if this Scipio is the new MC or simply part of the new main cast. I want to say that he isn't the new MC because there is so much stuff with the original one that remains unresolved, and the last update explicitly told us that he has a role that he needs to play in events to come. But I guess we really won't know until the 24th.

I feel like we would have gotten a hint of that in the letter if that were the case. It would be a cool idea though, especially if he isn't replacing the MC. It could create a source of conflict between him, Amicus, and the MC in order to keep their relationship subplot from getting stale.

Well, Neferu would probably finally start believing that the MC really was in contact with the parents. I don't really know how Virginia would act other than being shocked, while Cassius wouldn't even know that he died in the first place. Alex would be completely terrified since the MC essentially died because of him and he needs the MC to keep Amicus from turning him into a rug. And seeing someone walking and talking after just seeing their blood-soaked corpse would be pretty jarring in itself.

Furrynomous 2020/01/20 04:11:21 No.1702833

>>1702798
Most likely the way they did the first time when Mc awoke from his comatose state, shocked and confused. However if you want to be more elaborate of the situation then it would open up many scenario's.

For the most part Neferu will most likely be the former and maybe feel pity due to the promise he made with Amicus which was to protect Mc from any harm and I would actually be surprised if we see Neferu cry as he sees Mc alive and well, but I highly doubt he would do that.

Now Alex would be shocked and confused as well as guilty considering he's to blame on Mc's death. Possibly even traumatized.Though I'm not really sure how Mc would be keeping Alex true intentions and his escape from Adastra a secret would all go down.

I'm not really sure how Virginia would react to his well being other than what I mentioned. Maybe she would thank him for killing Cato and might feel a bit guilty for putting up him through that or perhaps be a bit in denial... I'm not sure.

And for Cassuis well he wouldn't even know in the first place due to him being at the hospital during that time "if he is alive".

Again this is just my opinion on what I think how they would react, so don't take it so seriously. However I would actually like to hear what others have to say.

If anyone cries, it will be Neferu even though I doubt he will at all. He was obviously distraught and he will probably be shocked/relieved at the very least. We never really saw Virginia's reaction but I bet that she felt at least something when the MC died, and will probably be relieved as well.

Furrynomous 2020/01/20 21:52:41 No.1703349

It would actually make sense for neferu to feel pity since he made that contract with amicus to protect the mc at all cost and since he's dead it's understandable for him to feel that way. Now to see neferu cry when he sees the mc alive that would actually make sense as well, but I highly doubt were going to see him like that.

Though I'm not really sure how virginia would react to seeing the mc other than grateful to see him. I know she wouldn't cry and even if she felt like it she would probably just be stoic about it considering she's really good at it and not to be rude to neferu but she can control her emotions better than he does which comes some advantages and disadvantages.

And of course alex was mortified to see the mc dead but I'm have know idea how he would go about it so yeah....

I fully believe that Alexios is looking out only for himself at this point. While he he surely feels guilt for Cassius and maybe the MC, I believe his "mortified" reaction was due to the fact that the one person who might have defended him died in a event that he inadvertently put into motion. The moment that Virginia tells Amicus what happens, he is as good as dead and he knows it.

This update was interesting.

The naughty kitty being banished from the palace and Cassius learning of his betrayal. This something I wish we could have seen rather than just receiving a little text blurb about it.

The Parents manipulations of Amicus and MC continue. So I guess this is how the sequel can have new characters. After all the MC is stuck on earth for the next eight years while Amicus is taking care of matters in the Galaxias. I wonder how the MC is supposed to get earth to integrate into the Galaxias? I mean have the Parents been watching what has become of earth since they last sent the Siblings to visit? It isn't exactly full of understanding people willing to listen others. Let alone someone who will not only show there is other life in the universe but also that all their cultures are from these alien animal people and beliefs in gods stem from these hyper-dimensional space spirits. Unless they give him something to prove it all, I see that going over real easy.

Then the talk Neferu revealing more about this Other. Now he could be wrong but the whole part about it be more technological in nature. So basically are they something akin to the Reapers from Mass Effect? Is it gonna be revealed they are some failed creation of the parents that even they can't control? Or is it that they aren't willing to interfere and stop them directly?

Tbh I am beginning to think that the Khemia sequel might actually be a spinoff. Some of those new sprites for Amicus, particularly the new naked one, would not make sense from the PoV of any character other than the current MC. In this case, Scipio would be the new MC for this spinoff while Amicus is mostly absent.

Alternatively, the MC might not go back to Earth at all, at least not yet. He said in his internal monologue that he will probably do the mission, but he was rather noncommittal about his answer with Amicus in the bath. While I highly doubt that he will reject the mission because he understands that it would create problems if he did, something might happen in the next update or two that changes everything and derails their plans.

The relationship between Amicus and the MC is very popular if the comments on patreon are anything to go by, so I doubt that Howly would shelve it for the next year or so while working on the sequel. I personally hope that we stay with the current MC and there is a timeskip or something.

I was thinking about the 8 years thing, were the parents talking about 8 adastra years or 8 earth years?
Because they had different days for a year,
or it was hours in the day, i don't remember, sorry.
Either way, wouldn't that make a small difference at least? Maybe the MC it's not going to wait that long, or maybe Amicus is going to wait even longer.

Furrynomous 2020/01/28 03:50:48 No.1706353

Adastra has 19 hour days and a presumably different year length. Since the lingua translates units of time, (except for days, I assume), we can be certain that they are talking about eight Earth years.

I want to know the specifics of the MC's mission. Let's assume that he accepts the mission (highly likely given his internal dialogue for this update), and that nothing happens that would alter their plans or the plans of the parents that would cause delays or outright abandonment of the mission. This means that the MC needs to integrate Earth into the Galaxias, and this is projected by the parents to take around eight years. How the fuck is the MC supposed to do something like that in such a short period of time? At the very least we are talking about reforming the United Nations into an actual, functional planetary government. Imagine getting nationalistic countries like the United States, Russia, China, or the United Kingdom to cede their sovereignty to this global government. To go even further, imagine getting THAT government to cede sovereignty to the Parents. And while on the subject of the Parents, imagine telling 7.7 billion humans that their religions are total lies (assuming the parents haven't been the catalyst for the creations of these religions to begin with and their message was just distorted over time). Even if the MC has actual proof of all of this including the uplift attempts, along with tangible support in the form of advanced technology, which he most likely will since I doubt the Parents are gonna drop him off on Earth with just a "good luck kid", fundamentalist Christians and Muslims will cry that this is the work of Satan or something. I can already picture Alex Jones ranting about inter-dimensional demons.

At the very least, we are looking at major wars to facilitate unification. Unless Earth is directly threatened by something, that is what it will take to unite us as a species at this point in our history. Unless, of course, something horrible has already happened to Earth since the MC has left, and the MC has to put the pieces back together. In this case, he could easily play the "Prophet from the stars" angle, promising salvation if humanity submits to their original gods, assuming the parents were ever seen in that light on Earth.

The same thing occurred to me when they spoke of having the MC returning to earth and getting it to join the Galaxias. I mean earth is so splintered and factionalized it would be nigh impossible to pull it all together. But you brought up something I hadn't thought of. What if in the time the MC has been gone something has occurred back on earth? I could see the parents knowing that something was coming to threaten earth, be it a war or a natural disaster e.g an asteroid, thus having the Amicus taking the MC away when he did. So this way when the MC returns to earth bearing the word of the Parents the peoples of earth might be more open to it.

Impressive analysis on the situation by getting Earth to be part of the Galaxias...

Would be very hilarious if the Parents drop the MC off saying, "Good Luck," in trying to get all the global governments to unite with issues that will take a LONG (more than 8 years) to solve...

But, I doubt that the Parents would do that, if anything, I predict that the Monitor will return with him to Earth to be not only MC's vessel, but be the MC's guide. Probably, granting him something while he is on his mission to unite Earth.

But, also, you point something out, Did anything happen to Earth while the MC was away? (besides the fact that his family and friends were devastated about his strange disappearance)

>>1706540
If anything happens to Earth, I think it will be Other related. Sure, the Parents said that it is mostly on the edges of the universe and the galaxy has millennia to prepare. However, this is a story, and introducing the Other is essentially like Chekhov's Gun. It has to become a threat at some point, and thanks to Neferu, we now know that parts of the Other are left behind and are responsible for all types of supernatural shit. We also know from the monitor that the Parents are not actually all-knowing, so it is possible for something to happen that completely blindsides them. If this Other feeds on life, then Earth will look particularly tasty with it's population of 7.7 billion, presumably more than all of the siblings combined if Amicus' reaction was anything to go by. But yeah, an Earth in shambles would be much, much easier for the MC to shape into an interstellar civilization than the nightmare that is geopolitics on Earth currently. The only type of feasible government that I can imagine for Earth if it doesn't get fucked up would be some sort of confederacy where each nation is more or less sovereign, but the United Nations has the exclusive ability to speak for Earth on the galactic stage. Sort of like the Systems Alliance in Mass Effect. Even then, it would be difficult to get humanity to "submit" to the parents; that alone would cause all sorts of problems. both political and religious. But who knows, the promise of advanced technology, lifespans measured in centuries, interstellar travel, and a position as equals with the siblings might be more than enough to sway the world.

>>1706593
I highly doubt that would be in line with the goals of the Parents. Besides, we already have enough nuclear warheads on Earth to destroy each city with over 100,000 people and still have thousands of warheads left over. We don't really need another superweapon, especially since the Parents said that humanity is already near sibling-level, so it can be assumed that sibling weaponry is not much different outside of the shit we have seen on the palace drones. Amicus did compare the loss of his father to getting shot, after all.

>>1706630
Whatever they do, I am sure they will give the MC some sort of proof. Hell, the cybernetics in his neck are almost proof enough. I don't know if the Monitors can take physical form, but it would be cool to see one help the MC. Maybe even delegations from the siblings as well.

My big question is just what is Earth supposed to bring to the table? The knowledge that the Sibling cultures could exist together at once? Are humans supposed to come in and lead the Galaxias or be its foot soldiers or something? Or perhaps humanities ability to develop technologies gonna help them all after they are granted access to the Parent Tech?

I mean given what we've seen of the Siblings (mainly the wolves and what we're told about the others) they aren't really all that advanced. Aside from a few bits of technology naughty kitty's plant based instellar communicator. Or the talk of the Khemians being close to building their own stretch drives. And in any fight you've gotta have weapons, especially against some kind of galaxy destroying horror from beyond the stars. So could it be that humanities propensity in weapons creation is why they are being sought out to join the Galaxias now.

Or better yet by uniting the galaxy in friendship and harmony it creates a repulsion field that drives away the Other. I'm calling it Adastra is borrowing from My Little Pony.

Given that the Parents called Earth and humanity an "experimental microcosm", it does seem like part of it was to see if sibling culture could coexist. However, the fact that humanity was chosen out of all the other non-sibling races in the galaxy seems to suggest that humanity is special and unique in some important way. There are already tons of posts in this thread speculating on what, if anything, that could be, so I won't go into it again. Our taste for war and independent creation of advanced technology would certainly make humanity an ideal candidate to lead the galaxy against whatever cosmic horror that awaits. We will just have to see what the next update brings. I bet the MC is going to ask to use the archive so he can question the parents about the specifics of this mission and Earth's place in the plans of the Parents at some point.

Probably would have done the same thing to Amicus if won the trials since controlling him would have been impossible. However, I kinda wish that he had an actual conversation with the MC. Like, by the time he died I really couldn't tell if he was actually aware that the MC was intelligent.

It's possible that Earth, due to it being a civilization that rose themselves to a degree, is more in tune with parental technology than the other species.

We really haven't seen much parental technology outside of Comm and the library orb, but it's entirely possible the technology is going to be designed based off common smartphones and such. Or, because the species went from 0 to 60 technology wise, humans are able to just inherently work with technology better. It's implied that the Parents just kinda handed this shit to the siblings, but they state they don't really understand it as well as they could if I remember correctly. Humans may be key in that, because they built technology without the help of the Parents, so they're likely to be able to figure out how to use more advanced technology with less hassle.

I was thinking the same thing. Humans never had technological support from the parents and it seems that all the siblings left us was their culture. As a result, humans have had to discover everything from scratch. The siblings appear to have been uplifted from a barely sapient state 20,000 years ago, while humans have been naturally intelligent for over 200,000 years. The fact that the siblings were essentially uplifted straight to the space age might mean they have a lack of understanding in key fundamental areas that they skipped over completely, and they don't really seem to show much interest in learning how parental tech even works aside from the Khemians. Meanwhile, humans have gone from burning candles for light to splitting the atom and launching satellites into space in less than a wolven lifetime, and we even have a real working theory on how to build a stretch drive and possibly even a solution for the negative mass requirement, something that most of the siblings have failed to solve so far. You could say that humans are innovative whereas the siblings are imitative in regards to technology. If humans had access to parental tech, I guarantee it would be reverse engineered in a decade or less.

Unrelated, Haps is asking a very important question on Twitter. I wish there was a vers option.

>He is a strange man, but I feel that while we should acknowledge Khemian ingenuity, we should not forget who we are, or where we come from. That, and I believe that such acts would be viewed as pathetic by the Khemian officials.

I suppose that this is Scipio and his teacher whose name escapes me, and I would imagine that these are the wolves who we saw in the university with the Khemians this update. Haps has more complete images of them on his patreon.

I am beginning to wonder if this Khemia thing is a sequel at all. It might just be a bunch of side stories, or it might be a side-vn, kinda like the Smoke Room is for Echo, while the actual sequel revolves around the MC and Amicus again. The dream the MC had this update would seem really odd and out of place if the current MC isn't in the sequel, and there is still that unresolved plot point with the female (who I presume to be Meera) that was trying to talk to the MC while he was dead. I doubt that these things will be completely resolved in the next few updates. Not to mention the new spites for Amicus, including that from-behind naked one that really wouldn't make sense unless it was from the MC's point-of-view.

I hope we don't have to wait long for the sequel once we are done with this arc in the story. I wouldn't be surprised if Haps already has a ton of spritework done for it.

>>1714136
Yeah, we are nearing an end, for this part of the story anyway. Whether it is a second arc or a sequel is unknown at this point. Considering new plot points are being created for the MC, such as the Other suddenly being interested in him, among other things, it is very much looking like his story is far from over. Like, this Other is an antediluvian cosmic horror in the process of consuming the universe that even the Parents are afraid of, and in that moment, it's attention was solely on him. You don't just introduce something like THAT in the final act and then resolve it an update later. It is obviously a hook for what is coming next.

Not really in my opinion considering the shit they're going through like the other and possibly if the mc does decide to go to earth for 8 years which is most likely going to happen.

Don't really see what the Other has to do with it. As far as Amicus knows, that threat is still millennia away. Clearly that isn't true, but the MC decided not to tell him for the time being since he isn't even really sure what exactly it was that he saw. As for the MC going to back Earth for eight years, I don't see how that would be a factor either. If anything, I think that would be more incentive for Amicus to make their relationship official as far as the empire is concerned. Eight years is a long time and a lot can happen, so I would see it as a gesture of commitment.

This is still going to have multiple endings? I wonder how that is going to affect things moving forward once the endings are out. Signs seem to point to the MC staying in his current role as the main character in however this continues. Having multiple endings here would complicate things unless one or more were non-canon, or they all end in such a way as to lead into the same beginning for the sequel.

Furrynomous 2020/02/22 13:03:46 No.1716405

>>1716294

The endings are simple: Marco goes to Earth for 8 years or Marco stays and goes against the Parents will.

Howly stated on Disc*rd there may be hiatuses between each ending after this build. And there will be a hiatus before the next part of Adastra is properly revealed and detailed.

A lot of his patrons on the disc*rd have voiced concern for his well being since Howly works full time, on Echo, and has family stuff going on. They've been encouraging him to take some time to relax and give stuff more time instead of rushing it and having delays constantly. I think he's actually taking that into consideration?

Furrynomous 2020/02/22 14:34:13 No.1716429

>>1716405
If those are the two options that we will get, I am almost certain that going against the will of the Parents will be the "bad" ending. Arguably the most important theme in this VN is that "free will" is an illusion, at least for the people directly involved in the plans of the Parents. This was shown to us near the beginning, when the MC dreamed that his life was predetermined and that he wasn't in control. Sure, Amicus and the MC have "choice" in the sense that there is more than one option, but every single time they were presented with such a choice, going against the will of the Parents would always result in horrible consequences. The Other said that "they" would kill Amicus and the MC; if this refers to the Parents, then I bet that choosing not to complete their mission will result in things unraveling to the point where the Parents decide to remove Amicus and the MC from the board in a permanent and lethal fashion, and then punish them by seperating them in the afterlife for eternity. If this is the case, then the MC returning to Earth would be the true ending, with the sequel continuing from there.

Alternatively, going to Earth might be the bad ending. Another thing that the Other told him is that his purpose is "doomed". Obviously, trusting the word of space Satan is probably a horrible idea, but the Parents haven't been entirely truthful themselves, have they? Whatever the case is, I am almost certain that one ending will be a bad one, with the other being the true ending to build a sequel on.

Probably, but that certainly wasn't going to happen as far as Howly is concerned, especially after missing two deadlines for it. Another hiatus is also unlikely from what he was saying after the one last year, aside from the short ones that he has already announced on disc. I agree that the scene was short, but maybe he will legthen it when he puts in the alternative scene.

I am beginning to think that the two planned endings won't have anything to do with choosing to stay on Adastra or returning to Earth. Both parts of this update made it seem like the MC has already decided to return to Earth even if he hasn't explicitly said so, such as referencing that he will have a special role to play in the near future, or memorizing that view of Amicus so that he can remember it when he is out on his own. Amicus also seems to be operating under the assumption that the MC will be returning to Earth, with him proposing to the MC so that they will have something to tie them together for the eight year separation. At no point did either of them even entertain the idea that the MC would stay on Adastra and reject the mission. Others were throwing around the idea of a bad ending and a canon ending that leads into the sequel, so if that theory is true, I wonder what choice seperates them if the choice to follow the parents plan is already decided.

Am-ick-us like the first part of "amicable", cash-us like how that name is pronounced in the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, and Virginia like the state. But now that I think about it, I feel like the lingua would translate the names based on how they are pronounced in English, since the MC notices a thick accent only on occasion. In that case, Amicus would be a-mee-kus, since that is how it is pronouced in the American/British legal term "amicus curiae". I like that one much better tbh, since the proper latin way just doesn't roll off the tongue right for English speakers. I guess to them it would just sound like the MC has a heavy accent ftom their perspective.

Actually, you are in the majority if the twitter poll is anything to go by. Slightly more than half of the people who voted on Haps' poll wanted Amicus to bottom. It was still really close at a 51 to 49 percent split. Personally, I want to see him top. But I think we all can agree that vers Amicus is best Amicus.

Tight-lipped? There were full discussions of this back in December when that update came out. Tell us what choices you made so I can tell you what you did wrong. Also, the MC dies in every outcome, it's what comes after that is decided by your choices. In the bad ending, the parents tell you that you are not an ideal person to help continue their plans, they cast you into the afterlife permanently, and the VN returns to the main menu. Otherwise, the VN should switch to Amicus' perspective to continue the plot.

Yes (good dog, best leader)
No (to giving to to Benevolent blah blah blah)

I've done variations to the choices the Parents give but it's a nightmare trying to parse out what difference they make.

I've run the game maybe 3 times now and it ends abruptly at the the death scene and cuts to the menu. There may have been differences in the end dialogue but I couldnt tell you.

Saying no to the parents when they tell you to give in to their will automatically flags your save for a game over state regardless of the other choices you made, so go back and say yes instead. Telling Amicus not to work with Neferu can also flag it depending on what other choices you made.

Why do you think the game prompted you to make a choice, but only Amicus bottoming was available? They are making a scene where Amicus tops, but it wasn't ready in time for the patreon release, partly because of Haps' mental health. It is most likely coming in the public release on the 13th. All Adastra content seems to have been delayed a week this month, probably to give Haps more time to draw the CGs since transitioning his antidepressants have made him sluggish for the time being. The next patreon build is on the 27th.

Bruh, we don't even know how this is going to end. One ending will likely be a bad ending from how this business with the Other is developing, and the real ending could have the MC return to Earth or stay on Adastra depending on how the plot develops. And all signs are pointing to a sequel or something with the MC and Amicus since there are still unresolved plot elements and the next update is supposedly when the first ending is going to be released. Calm yourself.

Yeah, he has been killing it with the fan art. Might post some here later if I get the chance. Speaking of art though, Haps posted on twitter that they are looking for a new concept/background artist. I don't know if this means that Blacksun is being replaced or if this is for something else though, Haps wouldn't say. If this is for the sequel, I guess that means that there is gonna be quite a long hiatus between the end of this one and the start of the next one, since making background art takes a lot of time and they just now announced that they are looking for a new artist. Though, if the Khemia thing is just a spinoff, then it might be for that.

Yeah, I feel the same way. It makes me wonder how the rest of this will pan out, and how it will transition to the sequel, especially with so many unresolved plot threads hanging around. Since next update is going to have the first of the two endings with a short hiatus after for the next one, I bet there will also be a wedding, and something super dramatic will happen.

inb4 Alexios has been an agent of the Parents this entire time and he straight-up assassinates Amicus and the MC under their orders if the MC chooses to reject their mission, leaving both of them to be separated in the afterlife as punishment for the MC's defiance, thus fulfilling the warning from the Other

Okaaaaaaay, so I really wanted to try this game out and take a look seeing as its pretty popular among my circle of friends. But after I did some researching and found out Amicus, who I assume is the only love interest? cheats on you with a jackal, I dont know man.

Honestly, it wasn't cheating since they weren't in a relationship. However, it was obvious that they both wanted to be in a relationship. It was a complicated situation; yeah, Amicus wanted to fuck the jackal, but he did it for other reasons besides just wanting to get off. There are also cultural differences regarding how humans and wolves view sex in-universe. I think it was handled very well, just play and decide for yourself. That scene is quickly overshadowed by stuff that follows anyway.

So then in other words, theres no option to completely dump him after that. Or any other romance options. Great, I guess I'll have to ultimately skip this game then.

And I know anons are gonna be really, really hard on me and shitpost about what I just posted, but I've had too many irl situations that involve cheating like my mother cheating on my dad, taking us away from him and personal relationships going down an even nastier path. I'm sorry for disclosing personal info like that but just, I do NOT like the idea of forgive and forget, its just too god damn painful for me to bear anymore. So yeah, I'm sorry but those are really not good excuses you gave me, and I'd rather not get invested in this game to come to this very point without at least outright rejecting the wolf for good. Please forgive me for all that spew, I just feel like I needed to explain my reasoning

I honestly feel the same but I wouldn't say this is the first time I feel this way. For example I was surprised to see both Amicus and Virginia get so angry to the point where they reminded me of Cassius, heck even the MC calls out Amicus for acting like a spoiled brat just like Cassius which got me laughing considering they're brothers. What also surprised me is how Cassius still trust's Alex well knowing what he did and yet wants him to be by his side which makes me wonder what Cassius has in mind since his own home planet has cut further communication. Furthermore I was confused why Neferu was so down like if something was bothering him and I really don't have a clue what it could be as well as the dream Mc had. Most of all I was happy yet sad how it ended not knowing what could come next.

Furrynomous 2020/03/17 21:41:47 No.1725861

Neferu was acting down because the Vizier was there. He said himself that his own family despises him and the Vizier is a representative of that family. Odds are he doesn't have a good relationship with him, and he has to put all of his focus into not fucking this up.
>>1725852
As many others in this thread have said including the person you are replying to, it wasn't cheating. And it certainly wasn't forgive and forget, which you would see if you actually decided to play it instead of relying on incorrect preconceptions of what happens regarding that scene. I mean, that is how it was when that update first came out, but Howly rewrote half of that update because people didn't like how it went down. Originally the MC forgave him damn near immediately, but Howly changed it once patreons started rioting.

Ya know what would have been utterly soul shattering and deliciously devilish? If, after finding Amicus and Neferu sleeping with eachother and the MC storming off after him and Amicus argued, the MC goes off to Cassius and somehow convinces him to sleep with them. And during intercourse, the MC praises Cassius and compares him to Amicus while showering him in compliments and radaradarada. THEN afterwords theres an option to make Cassius emperor somehow and rub in the fact that you two fucked in Amicus's face while the game goes down a Cassius romance route. Fuck I might learn how to mod this game just to put this idea in motion.

It wouldn't be about how fine the ass is, but rather hurting someone's pride. Amicus's pride. Like, I could certainly drop the romance part and just make it a bad ending, the MC acting out of revenge lust and not only would this route have Cassius win, but maybe he also records the sex and shows it to Amicus, whilst the MC is probably killed off or worse in this route.

An Update regarding the next Adastra build.

Hey guys...

Seems I'm always doing something to cause a delay every month. This time I didn't communicate very well with Haps and currently I don't have the assets for this build. This was definitely an issue on my end. It's very early in the morning where he's at, and I've got work in a few hours, so unfortunately, there will be a one day delay, tomorrow night (US time) at the latest. I'll be in contact with him when he wakes up and we'll figure out what we have, then I can alter the scenes accordingly when I get back from work. I did attach something he did send earlier that reveals the Monitor in a clearer light, if you're interested in having an early look.

Also, to give you guys a solid answer on the remaining updates: including this build, there will be two more, so April's update will be the final one, and will bring this particular story to a close.

Despite this, a new visual novel project set in the Adastra universe is planned to have its first release in June.

Stay safe out there everyone, and I'll see you tomorrow!

The ending of this update actually branches based on your previous choices. You need to submit to the will of the parents to even get to this point, but if your other choices have been mostly (at least 2/3) positive (infinity/amicus should keep talking to neferu/yes amicus would be a good emperor) the parents give you a vision of a perfect future, then you run into alex and a very drunk cass.

if other than submitting to the parents your choices have been mostly (at least 2/3) negative (oblivion/reject neferu/amicus wouldn't be a good emperor) when the monitor beckons you, meera shows up and says you have a lot to talk about.

I know it's been said previously that the other negative answers lead to the early game over, but as of now only not submitting to the parents does that.

This update is very sweet like awwwww. Without spoiling anything, what the parent shows is a life goal for everyone I feel and I hope the parent realise this promise.

I really wonder where this series is going, I have a feeling that the sequel won't have the MC as the protagonist for the moment or the sequel might be from the perspective from khemians and we see the MC at some point (see what the parents shows about neferu and MC) that'd be fun.

Also, does Marco have any way to communicate with Amicus when he left? 8 years without communication is hard..

Having just gone through the whole of Adastra. I gotta say I love the characters and most of the story. My only complaint is the whole humanity is special, the extra-dimensional Parents having such control, and this mysterious "Other".

I feel the story was well enough with just the MC being pulled into extraterrestrial Wolfen Game of Thrones. When it came to the Parents came into prominence I had immediate distrust for them. Then the whole Other just came off as someone either doing a take of Lovecraftian horror from beyond or Mass Effect Reapers.

I also felt there are times when it felt was rushed and could've used a long time spent on the moment. But still over all its a great story.

>Also, does Marco have any way to communicate with Amicus when he left? 8 years without communication is hard..
So? Does it really end like that? No epiloge?
At least in "Ocean Blues" Goro and MC see each other again and live happy ever after.
Guess this will be like Morenatsu ending when the MC and his love interest get apart; or the end of Justin and Brian love stroy in Queer as Folk.

Why Echo Team, why?

It's not over, there's still one more update. He hasn't actually left yet, this update ends the night before he's supposed to leave. In one route the parents give marco a vision of a perfect future and it's suggested that they don't have any contact during the 8 years, however the vision seems too perfect.

There's also another project in the Adastra universe (likely to be Scipio going to Khemia) planned to start in June. So there may not be a proper epilogue within the next update since the next project is probably not far enough forward in the timeline.

Considering the wild popularity of the MC/Amicus relationship as well as the plot hooks Howly has been piling up on the MC in these last few updates, I am fairly confident that the MC will return as the MC in a future project.

As helpful as the Parents have been, I'm pretty sure they were just showing the MC what he wanted to see to trick him into following obediently to their plans.

Well, that much is obvious. Remember all the way back to when the MC died and the parents were using him as a meat puppet? When Amicus wishes that he could just retire and live a quiet, peaceful life with the MC in the countryside? Remember what the response of the Parents to that thought was?

"That is not your calling. It never was."

And what do we see in this vision? Exactly that; Amicus and the MC retiring to a peaceful life in a countryside villa, in direct opposition to what they told Amicus. They had no reason to lie to Amicus when they were holding all the cards, but they had every reason to bait the MC with this vision so that he would become compliant. What is even more distressing is the mindset that it put the MC in just before he decided that he wanted to talk to Alex. I honestly fear that he is going to do something he will regret here. And the Meera path is just as distressing, since you only unlock that path by making bad choices, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence that this is the good path, now does it?

Both the vision path and the Meera path look really bad, and I dread what is going to happen in the last update.

No this is not what I implied at all, hell see what the parents foresaw, you'll see it is not the case at all.
And like other said, this is not the end, there's last build for this series in April.

What i meant by this is more of a personal question rather than speculating on the story. Tho i can see if they can communicate in some way, if *IF* the next instalment doesn't feature Marco, we can see a glimpse of this through the eye of whatever our new protagonist might be.

Keep in mind that that vision of countryside was like 200-300 year in the future? And when Adastra politics has become a constitutional monarchy, it might be true after all. But yeah still too perfect, maybe maybe the parent just left the gruesome details, it's very brief for the supposedly 300 years vision anyway.

Well, then I believe they would have reassured Amicus then, let him know that he could have that eventually if he just played along. But they just immediately shot it down with a sense of finality. Him giving up imperial power in that vision is also suspicious, since the parents called him the "One True Emperor". It just seems that they want him and the MC along for a long ride. And since it is hinted at that Amicus and the MC are going to return at some point, this peaceful, idyllic future wouldn't really be appropriate sequel material imo.

it could be that the nightmare from the Other was merely meant to make the mc paranoid and doubt himself in hopes that he'd back out of or fail the mission. i don't trust the parents but i trust them more than the Other. there's other reasons to doubt the parents vision

Furrynomous 2020/04/11 02:48:53 No.1735971

>>1735965
Yeah, there are plenty of reasons not to trust that vision, both from writing and narrative perspectives. You don't end your story with something you wrote in the previous update. What we saw in that vision was essentially an epilogue before the VN was even over. It robs the final update of any suspense or impact. Unless, of course, it was a deception or the Parents are horribly wrong.

The fact that it is so perfect is what gives its true nature away. The Monitor says that the worst is behind them, after all, and not just for Amicus and the MC it seems. We saw a vision of a galaxy without war, conflict, or strife. A galaxy where everything is at peace. Since Amicus and the MC are directly involved in bringing about this galactic peace, we would have been shown if there were any major hurdles or issues that they had to deal with, but we weren't. It is all smooth sailing after the events of the trial by combat. This means that every sequel or project that takes place after Adastra has to exist in this perfect galaxy where conflict is not possible, where character's boundaries are already set, where the future is written. Everything will lead to a single, predetermined outcome. Doesn't seem very exciting, does it?

Maybe the Parents aren't lying. Maybe they actually believe this future is going to come to pass. I don't believe that at the moment because it seems like they told Amicus and the MC two entirely different things, but even if it were true, this vision is still suspect. The Monitor told us that the Parents are not all-powerful, and the narrative tells us that they are not all-knowing. The events of this VN are only happening because the Parents were wrong the first time, 10,000 years ago. Not only that, but we are shown the limits of their precognitive abilities more recently. They were unable to foresee that the MC would get sick and nearly die. If something so simple as sickness can derail their entire plan, how can we possibly trust this vision that spans centuries?

Now, this isn't even taking the Other into account. We know the Other is dangerous, and we know that no one believes it will be a threat for a long time. Well, you don't write in a cosmic horror with more power than the gods and just have it stay in the background forever. It is a textbook example of Chekhov's gun. It WILL become a threat in the near-future, otherwise there was no point in even introducing it into the story. We have seen it make a play on the MC, with an attempt to either warn him about the Parents, or to make him doubt them. And yet, the Other doesn't even show up in this vision. So either the Parents are lying, or they don't know that it is making moves. The Other is the only thing in the story that is more powerful than the Parents, otherwise they wouldn't have created this 20,000 year long plan to combat it in the first place. If anything can derail the future they wrote, it would be the Other.

I want to trust this vision, because Amicus and the MC deserve to be happy after going through all this horrible shit. But everything in this story is telling me that I can't trust it. And honestly, if Amicus and the MC get a happy ending, I want them to write it rather than act out the script that the Parents wrote for them.

build 15 has 2 endings based on your previous choices.

at least 2/3 "good" choices (infinity/keep talking to Neferu/Amicus would be a good emperor) and submitting to the parents leads to Marco getting a vision of a perfect future and running into Alex and Cass

at least 2/3 "bad" choices (oblivion/Amicus should reject Neferu/Amicus wouldn't be a good emperor) and submitting to the parents leads to Meera luring Marco away from the Monitor instead of getting the vision

I would have liked a touch more certainty to how things end between Amicus and the human dude, the Echo team really enjoys their open-ended... endings. Bringing up 'what if its all a lie and we're actually fucked' is a bit unnecessary when you're going for that kind of thing. Also makes me worry for what the other ending will contain

Both endings end the same way, just the path getting there is different. Though it seems we are switching character perspective for now, I have no doubt that we will come back to Marco at some point, likely after the Khemia thing is done. This didn't feel like an end to his story nor did we get that resolution with Amicus. Rather, this just seemed like the end of the first chapter in a larger story.

Why HAD to end like that? Why not a "happy ever after" ending? WHY?!

At least Ocean Blues got a epiloge of the MC and Goro together again. Guess is another ending like Morenatsu with Hiroyuki and his chosen one takes differents ways for the moment, or Spiderman Into the spiderverse with Gwen and Miles.

It's so sad, I would rather a happily ever after ending.

As I sit and ponder the ambiguous ending I can't help but feel a strong sense of apprehension. The parents ostensibly created this veneer of an ideal future for Marco and Amicus, however, it is likely that said future could've easily been a form of propaganda in favor of the Parent's will using the lingua implanted inside Marco's brain. Who is the character Scippio at the end?

The arc is not fine the way it is, because we still have no real resolution. There is so much uncertainty about the future. There is no way Howly is going to have their particular story end like that. Not only that, but Haps said in his disc.ord that Amicus is either not showing up in the Khemia project or is going to have a cameo at most. We know that Amicus has new sprites, so this means that they will be used for a project after Khemia. I have no doubt that their story will continue then.

Well, when you put it that way.

What I meant is that the story arc for the MC and Amicus was good overall, up until the ending was sad, but bittersweet.

True, the arc had no resolution, but is hinting us a sequel possibly, and like you said maybe showing Amicus as a cameo from here on with Scippio coming out and all.

It is just that now we have to wait until the next.

Well, I gotta say that was an amazing story. I think the actual plot sort of ended when Amicus became emperor, then the stuff after was a bonus set-up. I hope there is a part 2, but in a year or two maybe, because that ending made me feel like Im not going to see those characters for 8 years as well lol. I agree the whole "Parents" thing is a bit weird to throw in there, but that's how the MC and amicus "met" right? So I guess they've been in this from the start anyways. Really wish the story sort of continued following the MC for another day back in Italy, like how he talks his way out of his disappearance..

I hope the next story with the Khemians features Neferu.. because I need more of him..

Furrynomous 2020/04/20 06:06:43 No.1740947

Just went through the game. Gotta say I love pretty much everything about the story. The setting is interesting kinda Mass Effect like but with its own twist on it. Though I find myself very distrustful of the Parents and their intentions alongside of this "Other". I also kinda feel they were just thrown into the mix as an after thought as the story of Space Game of Thrones seems enough of a story.

The characters are pretty damn good and though I wish we could have seen more of Cassius, Neferu, or Virginia, I get that they were just the supporting cast. Amicus is just a big lovable puppy and though he did have some irritating moments through out. He still retained that charm that kept me liking the big oaf.

However, there was one character that did get on my nerves and I did find myself disliking. That character was none other than the MC.

Through out the story I found myself disliking how he approaches situations and the decisions he makes in them. His dialogue at times bothered me because I found myself disagreeing with what he was saying. Other times he was just so bland that it irritated me.

But I guess that is the issue with any type of story. You either like the characters or you don't.

This is just a gripe I have with Visual Novels over more an RPG style story. The characters are set with you get to have little input in their actions. Whereas in an RPG style you have more control, you get to make the choices and see how those choices playout.

Overall I'd give Adastra a 8 out of 10. It's just the issue with the Parents/Other and the MC that hamper the experience for me.

I wholeheartedly agree. I believe that Howly is really talented in his worldbuilding and character development, however, for some reason he leaves the MC to be rather lackluster.

k so while we wait for fixed mac and windows links, here's how to launch this game by using the renpy sdk and linux version of the game (fun fact: this also works to load any renpy game that wasn't compiled for whatever OS you use). i did this on a mac but the steps are basically the same for windows

1) download renpy sdk from renpy.org
2) copy the renpy-sdk-7.3.5 (that's the latest one at time of writing) folder to your desktop
3) download the LINUX version of adastra build 16 cuz that's the only link that works right now
4) extract the bz2 file (on mac just double click it, on windows you might need 7zip or WinRAR) - you should get a folder called adastra-16-linux and inside it should be 3 folders (game, lib and renpy) and 2 text files (adastra.sh and adastra.py)
5) copy the entire adastra-16-linux folder into the renpy sdk folder so it looks something like this picture [note: copy the adastra-16-linux folder NOT the individual folders and files that are inside of it)
6) open the renpy app, then click Adastra-16-linux then click Launch Project
7) after a while, a new window will open and you can enjoy the game! your saves should still work.

note - on mac, if the app does not open, copy the entire renpy sdk folder (not just the renpy app - the entire sdk folder) into your mac's applications folder then try opening the renpy app/

Normally I would agree, were this a standalone project. However, the fact that this is just the first part of a larger story makes this ending a bit different. This uncertainty about the future, about the parents, the vision, and everything else serves to make the ending of this part of the story pretty powerful in my opinion. We will just have to see what the future has in store for Marco and Amicus when this business on Khemia is dealt with. Who knows, perhaps something will happen on Khemia that derails the plans of the Parents, forcing them back together sooner than anticipated. Either way, it is pretty obvious that we are going to come back to them eventually, so it is fine if this ending doesn't provide us with resolution since it really isn't supposed to.

Considering the next project is not supposed to be about them in any sincere way and Adastra took 2 years to complete, "We'll just have to wait and see" is a poor way to end. There's nothing that really excites me to come back to them except that anything would be better than nothing. It's why I'm hoping there's more to it when they release the other path.

They don't need to give away the whole store and go "and it was all true and they lived happily ever after" but instead it just drops completely.

Closer to a year and a half, but I see your point. It will be a wait, that is for sure. But then again, we really don't know enough about this Khemia project to speculate. For all we know, it could be shorter than Adastra was, with a tighter story now that Adastra has set the stage, or it could turn out to be a side thing, sorta like how Echo has its spinoffs. Admittedly, that last idea is unlikely since their workload is pretty full as it is, but still, the only thing that we really know about the Khemia project is that Scipio is likely going to be the PoV.

Personally, I am pretty excited to see where Howly decides to take Marco and Amicus in the future, since we know that the vision they received was likely bullshit, either because they are lying or they are going to turn out to be wrong like they have many times before. Regarding the second path that will be finished next month, we know that the ending is going to be the same, but it will probably feel far more uncertain and pessimistic than things did in the vision path. Meera is likely going to drop some major revelations about the parents (even though we have no real reason to trust her either since she is sketchy as hell), but Marco is still going to be doing this mission for them since he really does not have a choice, as the main theme of this VN has shown us several times.

Since both paths lead to the same ending just with different tones and feelings, and all of this adds up to some pretty solid setup for a continuation of their story at a later date, I am curious as to what you wanted to see from this ending instead.

Man, what a ride

I gotta say, the ending was pretty Part 1 feeling for me, but the one thing I didn't understand was the MC's sudden massive hateboner for Alexios and how he went on about "the cat never got his comeuppance" or "he didn't get what he deserved"

Like what the fuck that just seemed so fucking petty, and unless I missed an update involving Alexios becoming a mass shooter I don't know how he was responsible for "dozens of deaths" or "destruction of the empire", all he did was enable Cato to remain a grip on the power of the emperor, and got banished for it, does he really deserve anything in addition to that if he can't even cause any further trouble in the palace?

Also pretty fucking hypocritical that Marco sees his relationship with Amicus as okay but thinks Cassius is a threat to the empire with his relationship with Alexios like Marco doesn't also influence Amicus' decisions

MC just felt like a huge dickhead and I don't know if it was intentional because he's supposed to be a reincarnation of a woman or because he's picking up the wolven ideals and mannerisms but it just really soured it for me

Really hope the sequel of this has a less rash and abrasive MC

Are you being serious right now? Alex is responsible for pretty much every horrible thing that has happened in this VN, either directly or indirectly. He nearly brought down an empire and ruined millions of lives. His literal job, as explained by him, was to bring the empire into a state of chaos and disorder so that they become isolationist, regardless of the pain it would cause for millions of people. By telling Cato that Cassius planned to abdicate, he put into motion the events that caused dozens of people to lose their lives in the riots that gripped Adastra when Cato seized the throne. Hell, the MC literally died as a result of Alex's actions. He is manipulative, deceitful, racist, and a hypocrite above all else. The fact that people defend him boggles my mind.

Okay, for one thing, no one said the people had to riot
They basically slaughtered themselves over how mad they were that Cato returned as emperor, it's their own fault for not being rational enough to overthrow him

Another thing you're forgetting is that the Parents are the ones who set this whole thing up to begin with, including placing Alexios on Adastra, and the MC was forced into action by them to attack Cato and subsequently die from his injuries. They're the ones to blame for everything, not Alexios, he was just another puppet used by them in their grand scheme. You really need to pay attention to the story.

It just seems like Echo hates cats, first TJ, now Alexios, no cat ever deserves a happy ending it seems according to him

The Parents did not place Alex on Adastra, it seems like you are the one who needs to pay attention. The Parents have interfered in events exactly three times over the course of the VN (not counting visions), and only because they absolutely needed to, by their own admission. The first time was when they brought Amicus and Marco together. The second time was when they repaired Marco's nervous system. And the third time was when they brought Marco back from the dead. That is all. Nowhere is it stated or even implied that the Parents had a hand in Alex's placement on the moon. Alex chose to do what he did out of loyalty to Omorfa and Omorfa alone. Even Cassius is second to that loyalty, as shown by the multiple times Alex has worked against him. By your logic, Cato is excused for all of his behavior even though it is implied that the Parents knew what he was going to do. The reality is that there is no excuse for Alex's actions. He knew what he was doing. He knew what would happen if he achieved his objectives, and he just didn't care because the supremacy of his people is all that mattered to him.

Cato should be excused, the Parents are the ones who gave him his vision back in the first place, if they're so all-knowing why didn't they foresee Cato's betrayal of their trust in him??

And another thing, Cassius mentions how the culture of Omorfa is very similar to Adastra's, so who's to say the Parent in charge of Omorfa didn't send Alexios to Adastra as a challenge to see if they were truly worthy of reestablishing contact? Wouldn't the chaos Alexios caused challenge their faith in the Parents and test their devotion to them, make them question, "Maybe these Parents don't actually care about us?" and give up on them? Obviously, they didn't, which showed the Parents that Adastra was worthy of a second chance with the Parents.

But no, you can't see any of the implications in the story because Echo made him out to be a bad guy and you just automatically go with it because "lol who cares Amicus good Alexios bad" and you have a boner for the wolf

Uh, they very likely did. They only interfere when it is absolutely needed. Have you not picked up on that yet? Clearly they were confident that he would be dealt with.

>so who's to say the Parent in charge of Omorfa didn't send Alexios to Adastra as a challenge to see if they were truly worthy of reestablishing contact?
The VN. The VN is the one to tell us this. Pretty clear and explicit. Literally nothing you typed is even implied by the narrative. This is just your feverish, half-conceived speculative rant because you are entirely too salty that grape cat turned out to be the bad guy. By the way, the best part about this little segment of your argument is the fact that you seemed to have missed what Cassius tells Marco, that the cats are now working against the parents.

>Echo made him out to be a bad guy and you just automatically go with it
This is my favorite part of your rant. Yes. Echo made him out to be the bad guy. The people who made the damn project. So, if the people who made the VN imply he is bad through the overwhelming evidence in the narrative, then that means he is fucking bad.

Alex is just a bad person. Get over it. I don't know how much harder the story needs to hit you over the head with that information.

Important enough to interfere from having MC die before he can perform his duties but not important enough to stop his death in the first place by having Cato dealt with beforehand?

And there's nothing saying that they aren't working against other Parents, I highly doubt Parents are without conflict with one another which is why some planets are without them or have lost contact.

And honestly, it seems more like you were a writer for this project and are just upset I provided a better plot twist than any of you ever could, my intellectual skills when it comes to writing are far superior, while all you can put out is a misogynistic wolf with a pot belly and an angry Italian who can't stop saying "my wolf" every 5 lines like a half-baked soprano. Alexios was the only character that had an angle to him, he wasn't flat and samey every time, the character development he got when it was outed he was a spy was more satisfying than the sex scene

Tell Echo if he ever needs a new writer I'll write a story that's more than worth patron's money, but Adastra fizzled out these last few updates for something that's supposed to be a conclusive prerequisite for a sequel

Just finished the game, and feel a bit mixed on it.

While I greatly enjoyed it and found it engrossing, and Amicus is a top-tier husbando, I bristled at the fact that I essentially had to accept Space Jesus into my heart to get the 'good' ending, which in my opinion isn't even that 'good' of an ending, considering I don't trust anything that the Parents say. The reunion the MC and Amicus are expecting might not even happen, and now their lives are basically ruined in a certain sense: they've lost all their agency and surrendered to some eldritch beings, all so they can experience a bit of happiness that has been promised.

Maybe I'm 89iq, but was it explained why Earth was ultimately never uplifted by all the other races that visited it? Also, where has it been said there will be a sequel?

There isn't a lot of resolution in this story because there isn't supposed to be. This is just the first part of a larger story. The uncertainty of their future, the thought that the Parents could be lying, the fact that they could be wrong about events that are to unfold; all of this is a clear setup for something more. The sequel was announced on patreon awhile ago, likely focusing on a new character called Scipio. Even then, it is heavily implied that we will be coming back to Marco at some point in the future, considering the unresolved plot points around both him and humanity, as well as his relationship with Amicus.

Regarding the "good" ending, it really isn't a good ending at all, and neither is the second ending when it comes out next month. Both end the same way, except Marco is just far more optimistic in the vision ending than the Meera one. The new Scipio letter mentions Marco and his mission on Earth, confirming that. There is also apparently some sort of conflict on Earth that is causing delays for the Parents plan, which I hope to see more of when we eventually go back to Marco. I think something is going to happen on Khemia that will shatter any plans the Parents currently have, be it the cats starting shit again or the Other making an appearence. Whatever the case, once the Parents have lost control of the future, I think that Marco and Amicus will reclaim the agency that they have lacked for this entire story. They are going to be responsible for their own future at some point, and I am pretty excited to see where it goes, despite the fact that we might have to wait a while to see it since we obviously have to see where Scipio takes the plot in his own story.

This man gets it.

I rejected the Parents at first because they didn't strike me as particularly benevolent or wise, and I didn't want to be involved in their convoluted machinations and plots-within-plots, especially since it concerns these unknowable entities that are using sapients as chesspieces in some game. Amicus' statements that they were benign gods didn't vibe right with me.

But then I died permanently after killing Cato, so I had to go back and reload my save, and accept the Parents begrudgingly. Not because I like them, but only because I wanted to continue on with Amicus. Towards the end of the game, I realize I'm doing this to be with Amicus in the end, not because I want to. In the end, I want to return to Earth on my terms to tie loose knots and then return with my wolf husbando, but instead we're separated. So everything that's done is done for ourselves, and not because it's 'right'. How can we know what is being done is even 'right' when we know so little about the Parents, when then their manifestations seem to be less than benign, and they resort to coercion?

(I say I since we are supposed to identify and insert ourselves in the place of the MC)

We don't know exactly yet, just that Marco sees a vision from the Parents in Path A, and in Path B he is pulled away from the Monitor by Meera before he can see the vision. The conclusion of Path B is coming out next month. However, since Marco, his mission, and events on Earth are mentioned in the new Scipio letter, we can assume that both endings end the same way, just with different paths getting there.

Nope, that is just the non-canon game over. To get Path B, you need to make the pessimistic choices when prompted. Oblivion, reject Neferu, and "No" when asked if Amicus would be a good emperor ("I don't know" also works here, for whatever reason). Make at least two of these three choices and then accept the will of the Parents. Once you do this, you will see minor changes in dialogue reflecting Marco's increased level of distrust towards the Parents, eventually leading up to the Monitor summoning Marco, which is where the paths diverge. As stated previously, both will end the same, but each path has a wildly different tone, presumably so that the sequel can be built on either of them and that the narrative isn't fucked by a major divergence when we come back to Marco after Scipio has his turn as protagonist.

It's an interesting quandary; the parents seem untrustworthy but we don't really have any evidence they aren't being truthful. I submitted to them not because I wanted to, but because it felt like it's what was expected of me, which I suppose turned out to be true.

The next one better let me date Neferu so help me god. I practically skipped through the last of the few updates because I am not a fan of Amicus at all. I just wanted to see how the plot would wrap up.
Still not sure how I feel about it, overall. I feel like the VN jumped the shark when Marco "died", then pulling it again was just tiring to me. Not many loose ends were wrapped up, but it is what it is.
I will say, though, this quote from Virginia hit too close to home. It felt real, and it's how I feel about my Father too. Hope she gets expanded on later.

Not a lot was wrapped up because it wasn't supposed to be. I am sure we are gonna come back and resolve all of that when it becomes relevant in the story again if/when we come back to Marco. Until then, I am content to see where Scipio takes things. Also, tbh I would prefer it if he becomes romantically involved with a new character. Neferu is too obvious, and he seems to be the type of person who wouldn't want to be in a committed relationship.

Adastra easily beats Echo in terms of popularity, it's not even a contest. It's even got official merchandise.

People like Echo: nobody denies that the writing is good and the atmosphere is top-notch, but many people are pussies who were butthurt they didn't get to actually fuck their husbandos, or receive a happy ending.

Both are good games, however, and a comparison is unfair. One is a sci-fi/space opera with strong romance elements but only one real route, the other is a horror/drama with weaker romance elements and more routes.

Well... the ending was very harsh for me. To think that you have no choice over your fate and is controlled by someone is dreadful enough, but the fact that Marco now has to act without the support of Amicus by the next eight years, while facing so many challenges that will occur with the introduction of a new sapient races is just too much. And Amicus never tried to suggest him to stay even after Marco tells him how he is unconvinced and afraid to go on without him, especially after encountering not only parents, but also Meera and the other who had only worsen his worries. Though... i suppose parents would probably kill him or him and Amicus in that case. And yet, I would love for Amicus suggesting to just forget about all that and enjoy their life together on his planet before Marco completely decides to make his choice.

What are you on about my dude, Echo is fantastic, maybe just not your cup of tea since it's not as much of a soap opera as Adastra is from the very beginning, but there's a lot of variety in its horror writing, it's just the first part of most routes that can be a bit tedious at times but that's it.

That being said, Echo is almost over, theres only one route left which seems at the very least halfway done, and there's an epilogue for one route that they haven't finished yet, probably because it'd bee too conclusive for the game, but they did work on a small prequel VN for the cast of Echo, and they're now also working on an actual prequel for Echo that is also pretty great thus far (and has more sex and hot characters if that's your thing), so Echo Project overall has very good stories and consistent development.

Are you high or something? Echo is likely 2-3 updates from being complete, it's been making the same consistent progress Adastra has, but it's a more expansive game because its not limited to one route with only slight variations.

>but it's a more expansive game because its not limited to one route with only slight variations.

Echo is genuinely more expansive than Adastra when comparing it's routes, but most of the routes ended up dragging on, only getting duller as time went on. Even when the story reached it's peak in terms of climax, it only felt very futile in the end "besides Flynn and Jenna routes so far".

Before anybody starts judging about the fuck I said or even assume I hate this game, I merely wanted to state how people see that more is usually better, which is just wrong. Personally, I liked this game so far, and it's one of the first visual novels that got me interested in since most of the ones I've played before were dull and monotonous.

To be honest that is unironically what im hoping for here, i liked the character and political drama (and GAY WOLVES SECKSUAL TENSION) better then the YO! THE PSYCHIC DRAGONLORDS WANT YA TO FIGHT THE NOT-REAPERS (Probably Nano-bot/bacteria flavoured), so i want more of the former then the latter.

I mean, Marco was kinda weak (i DID like that he actually remains pissed at Kittyspy since i seen so many VN protags be complete doormats about that sort of thing, that is the high point of his character for me), but it was still fun with the interactions and seeing the characters grow through his eyes overall.

Yeah no promblemo

Yeah it sucks how it all went down but just imagine when it gets released publicly. It wasn't actually that bad and I think so many people were hyped to play the game and when it didn't meet their expectations, they were let down.

Try to remember that works like these are a project meant to help the developers to express themselves and the things they wish they could have, too.

They're over-romanticized and just don't work. Maybe your life isn't as shitty as it might be that you're just full of an innocent dream that it could be more colorful and full of things like this, instead. Which is okay, but also a distraction.

Keep going. You'll be alright.

I haven't played it since I wanted to wait until the public release, and during that time I tried to avoid rumors as much as I could. Now that I got the chance to play it, I would have to agree with the majority of people. It was a huge disappointment and a downgrade compared to the original. Scipio's character is very flat and distasteful and I know he has potential since he has a decent backstory, but the story never really gets into it. I know we just started with this chapter, and I would let all slide if the sprites weren't so hideous"especially Neferu and Amicus's" they didn't even put the time in to give Virginia new ones, which is upsetting. I'm not sure how they could fix this since it's only the first build, but I hope they can.Â

This story got me down since I tried to avoid spoilers and rumors as hard as I can and for it to be true got me depressed, and at this point, I don't know what to do.

I agree with people complaining about the lack of new sprites for Virginia.

Not only did the sprites for the most important characters look objectively worse than in the original game (looking at you, Amicus and Neferu) but there wasn't even an update for Virginia? That's just fucking lazy.

If anything, the new sprites look like caricatures. Seriously, compare the Amicus Adastra sprites to the Amicus sprites in Khemia. There's maybe two of his sprites in the new game that actually look good, the rest are a downgrade.

The team and artist involved are letting their sample of what passes as "success" among furries go to their head, tbqh. I'm not even saying this to be salty, but hopefully so they can work on rectifying what people are complaining about. I doubt they will, though.

I feel like that's the biggest problem with most Vn's. They portray Female characters as Mary Sue's who have to deal with everyones bullshit, with no real edge to make them engaging or different. I had honestly thought that Virginia was going to be one to break the stereotype in the beginning, but Haps had to jump into the bandwagon and didn't give her the spotlight to show her capability, they didn't have the time to give her new sprites for Khemia and it's shameful. It's not just Virginia though, it's actually most of Echo Projects Vn's as well as other Vn's. I believe Verissa from "Far Beyond The World" was well received because she breaks the stereotype of most Vn's and I believe the game has more competence at this point.

Yeah, as much as I enjoy those games, the female characters are not their strong point. They usually fall into one of two categories: a sassy fag hag and a cold bitch. Or sometimes a combination of the two. I think gays in general are not good at writing interesting female characters.

I think The Smoke Room and Echo have pretty interesting female characters, probably simply because there are enough so it feels less like stereotypes. Adastra/Khemia only really have Virginia so she comes across as annoying.

haps felt the need to update amicus and neferu to better fit his current style and the cgs.

Nah, it would have played out more or less the same only with Neferu in the player character's place.

The jackal very clearly came to Adastra with the intention to court and seduce Amicus and broker that alliance between their people through their partnership. Neferu is smooth and attractive enough and Amicus horny, lonely, young and naive enough for it to be a slam dunk. He just didn't expect the spanner in the works that was the player character :P

Well, Khemia might as wel have been Adastra 3, but this certainly makes more sense as a sequel for Adastra. They're a bit too different for comparisons, and I'm a little bit worried this one will be just Amicus fanservice, which would make a lot of sense since Amicus merch actually sells, and Adastra 1 was a bit lacking in that regard.

Anyway, it's nice to see Spoiler

Sadly the whole game is rushed. I believe everything was added on a whim without checking anything as you can go to the files, Cato sprites are their as well as some of the assets from the original Adastra are there and are unused, also whenever Cassius speaks, Cato's name pops out of nowhere.

Rushed release, most likely due to PTR deadlines and not wanting to give people nothing.

i waited for the public release to avoid the typos.

i'm worried about retcons because there's all this foreshadowing about how this trip will be dangerous. in adastra he describes the trip as one of his better experiences on the moon. all marco mentions about it in his thoughts is sightseeing, riding questionably safe amusement rides, staying in luxurious villas, etc as if nothing serious happened.

in fact they're already retconning stuff. in adastra it's said that cass and alex left on their tour a few months prior and the trip was partly to pick them up. but in interea, cass and alex are still at the palace and presumably everyone's leaving at the same time. and neferu is coming too.

amicus' sprites got updated again and his face looks weird to me in several of them.

I never wouldâ€™ve imagined that when I got into this VN Adastra would continue with a spin off and/or sequel like Khemia or Interea. Iâ€™m not trying to say that those are horrible in any shape or form but I still kind of hope that those two projects will have an big interesting plot twist to reveal later on only if of course these VNs can continue without any kind of interference/interruption on the creators side of things and perhaps ðŸ¤” sometime in the future theyâ€™ll unveil a surprising climax that will be the main part of the whole series which might maybe ðŸ¤” even rank right up â¬†ï¸ðŸ†™ðŸ”there next to entity mentioned as the other if thatâ€™s even a possibility. But before any of that even started or happened I had a question that I asked the creator sometime I think ðŸ¤”ðŸ’ around when Adastra was almost close to being finishedâœ”ï¸â˜‘ï¸âœ… nearly before the part where Amicus almost ðŸ˜… lost the royal ðŸ‘‘ throne because of Cato but then the traitor failed ðŸ˜žðŸ˜£ðŸ˜¨ thanks ðŸ™ðŸ˜ŠðŸ¤© to a noble but tragic sacrifice by the MC (which he survived thanks to a higher power intervening) leading then to everything running ðŸƒâ€â™€ï¸ðŸƒâ€â™‚ï¸ðŸƒ smoothly for mostly everyone in the end.
Of course everybody whoâ€™s just basically seen this for themselves already knows that already so getting back on track the question ðŸ™‹â€â™€ï¸ðŸ™‹â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ™‹ I asked the maker involving what path this VNs whole storyline would take was this.
â€œWith the visual novel Adastra now getting close to being finished, with Amicus having the obstacle of getting back the throne and trying to reunite with the MC, would it be too much to ask where the story will go from there? I mean I think it was mentioned somewhere that even if Amicus story ends the VN will still continue, so I'm just wondering where it will pick up and what it will focus on next. The thought that came to mind, was that someone else went through some kind of complicated situation that they were dragged into, kind of like the MC. The only difference is that instead of an alien coming to earth, it was alien tech already on earth that sent them to some other planet. Maybe because of some little detail. Like they never knew about, involving them having an alien's bloodline.
Not just some kind of simple alien bloodline, no I'm talking about a royal bloodline mixed in with a human on earth. Regardless of how their life is lived. I.E. The social status they've grown up in (rich high class, working middle class, homeless/poor). As an extra twist to the story how about making the humans mixed royal blood a part of the alien's history in the case that the royal family line was believed to be lost to the ages. I'm thinking one alien's culture involving Egypt could provide a good source of all kinds of twists and turns for that kind of plot.
It might be a good setting for a kind of shocking revelation or maybe the revelations could occur in other civilizations that haven't appeared in Adastra yet. For instance the alien culture could be similar to the aztec or mayan cultures. Whatever the plan is for the VN I hope it continues on with no major obstacles in the future. I just can't wait to see what happens next. Thank you for all the work you put into the VN I hope this note can help out in some way or another if it hasn't been to much of a nuisance.
Thank you for your time I wish you the best of luck for all your work and the upcoming days ahead.â€
I hope that all sounded reasonable enough to ask this question ðŸ™‹â€â™€ï¸ðŸ™‹â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ™‹ of the creator of those VNs without sounding too nosy/annoying/demanding/pushy in any kind of way. I suppose I can get a little too curious or impatient in regards to projects like these but when they have such a good storyline Iâ€™m just so eager to see where it all goes at the start and how itâ€™s all going to end. In any case my rambling aside I wish the best for everyone whoâ€™s working on those VNs while also wishing them well in staying safe and healthy for the days ahead of them.

interea is set during a time skip in which it was originally stated nothing major happened, so for it to have a major twist would probably necessitate some big retcons. unless it's like parent stuff that the audience sees but marco doesn't

anyway the monitor's empathy for marco and amicus and rudeness towards the parents is interesting. we know from khemia that ending b is canon so this is probably a moot point, but to me interea's characterization of monitor seems to clash with ending a since he specifically guarantees the (incredibly suspect) vision of the future. maybe during interea the parents brainwash him or remove his emotions?
