Esteria

Any hope of Esteria being revived?

Okay the quick time events needs to be switch with a click, the arrows,  because when I hit A it just opens the menu. 

So is this still onhold or is it abandoned 

Could be one of the best nsfw VN game but sadly as I see the creator abandoned it.

when is the next update coming ?

Was thinking about this game recently and how much I love it. Really hope development continues one day and isn't completely given up on.

Update?

Wish to leave a comment.
I'll say not only positive things, but playing this novel, I was impressed.  Despite high harem potential, disgusting kinky stuff(ugh, but I know it shall have place to be!), finally not every character can be pressed just by click or willing to you-know-what-i-mean, characters are seem almost alive, having their wishes, attitudes, beliefs, and (at least supposed) motives. A good point here is choices: although nobody of taken companions dissapoint, I really respected Lorean, admired Lea, empathized Elicia and had fun with Perrin thus far. Even character of Azran(father) seems to be understandable (or I just know his type haha) as a people of Middle Age times. Sometimes reminds of The Witcher series, a good example for inspiration for myself.
Still, some moments are REALLY HAVE TO BE more convincing.
1)Scene at beginning with the wh*re. she were so loose in words I wanted to shut her mouth even playing as diplomat. she layed down with the lord(ofc not yet), after all! I even want to say I'd like to have option to avoid that scene with her.
2)After I've come to Archelm, and King gave me task, I had many questions "why?", there's many features missing, sometimes you had only one option to answer, and event is going too quick to believe it happens. I say it about task itself. (also Manfred is cool)
3)About Manfred's demand for wedding, I'd ask it shouldn't be something senseless, because at least I needed an option to talk to his daughter first to see if we fit, before decision(but of course there its not possible I get it).  It looks as blind as obvious refuse for everyone who is able to think twice. I hate it, bcz Manfred is smart, but he said almost nothing noticeable about his daughter.
4)A bard Perrin, proposing his joining, have to promise something more convincing than that he will be grateful. he's a diplomat himself, after all.
5) in 5 chapter, fighting looks empty, we saw only one bandit who attacks and it ends. better to change something. And the moment another one appears with attack of werewolfs too.
6) And why they try to escape castle??? Thick walls and doors isnt enough for protection? And why they left gates open anyway? too much questions for having no answer in 5 chapter. I even wanted to ask why Elicia leaving, but I can hope she has reasons.

EDIT: third point were not so logical as I saw it first, so its not objection.

bro this game is way better than your new one. please prioritize working on this one!

2 problems with this game.  First makes it unplayable, and the second is just something that could have made it better I think.  First problem is the quick time events/actions.  It uses 'w' 'a' 's' 'd' and at least some of those such as 'a' and 's' are hot keys in Ren'Py.  For example 's' takes a screenshot.  In my first qte/a with lorcan when I try to hit 'a' it takes me to some menu, and does not complete the qte/a.  This would seem to make a game that would be very interesting 'unplayable'.  I have looked online for a solution to this but have not found it.

The second problem is just that so far the one partial sex scene was not animated, just a series of stills.  This is unfortunate, but not earth shattering.  However the first problem would seem to make playing the game useless unless you resigned yourself to failing EVERY quick time event/action.

I was able to go into the file Esteria/renpy/common/00keymap.rpy and remove part of this line       accessibility = [ "K_a" ],     I just removed the    K_a    from this and it no longer goes to the menu it did before.  From THIS line    screenshot = [ '', 'alt_K_s', 'alt_shift_K_s', 'noshift_K_s' ],    I was able to disable screenshots by removing just the   noshift_K_s    from it.  

'w' and 'd' do not seem to be causing problems.  Hard to believe someone would go to all the trouble of making a game like this without preventing this kind of a problem.  It IS a good game in spite of all that, and it is not my intention to drag the creator through the mud.  But as for the QTE issue, YOUR WELCOME.  l)J

Hope this game doesn't get pushed aside for the new game. This game is really interesting and last update ended on a pretty big cliffhanger and turning point in the story.

excellent game, looking forward to the next release. If I may ask, is there a walkthrough guide for it yet?

Although I don't like fantasy (werewolves etc.), I love this game because it realistically presents  Middle Ages. I would also prefer that I have an option to seduce my servants and help them instead of coercing them into sex... It would be great if I could be a lord loved by all my subjects ;)

Chapter 5 has only rape scenes... Did I miss or do something wrong? I'm trying to be a good guy here...

How to strike with the sword on android the time runs out but nothing seems to work so I can't progress in the game. Pls help

It's short but it has so much potential

Very interesting start! The scene backgrounds and graphics are very appropriate to the game setting. I'm looking forward to the next release.

It may be short for now but the game is amazing. Keep up the great work! I'm loving the premise and can't wait for future updates.
