Galaxy Princess Zorana

Thank you all for supporting this project! I hope you'll have fun exploring Zorana's world. What IS available at this point - the main storylines and ability to play through the game from beginning to end (ish). Yes, it is possible to win the election. It'll probably take a while to get there though. What is NOT available: the epilogue finale, credits, gallery/achievements for tracking your progress, almost any of the Kickstarter-specific content (the new planet art IS in, but any other stretch goals or rewards are not), codex entries, final art on the preferences screen, etc. Right now while the beta is early it is probably better to keep feedback and questions in a single thread because the answers may become quickly outdated by updates if things get fixed. Feel free to ask questions about anything and everything - what does word X mean, how do you change moods, why is this character mad at me, can I set this character on fire, whatever - I won't always answer because I may want to see what people can figure out with some poking around, but knowing what you're curious about or confused by is also helpful. At this exact point in time I would prefer that people not stream the beta publicly just because it's JUST launched and I'm still waiting for people to verify that it is running on their systems. Streaming it later during beta will be fine - you own it after all! I'd just prefer a little bit of quiet time first. Removing the block! I think we have enough playable game to make that okay now. Anyway I'll try to stop rambling now! Welcome to our world - please let us know what you think about it!

I found a strange bug where the engagement video call with Fire will happen twice. After accepting the proposal, the event happened again in the next turn. I think it might be caused by first negotiating and then proposing to Eve (which was also the same event, but that made sense)

(SPOILERS) I think I found an inconsistency in the epilogues. I've redacted the other text to avoid spoilers. Zorana locks away Eternal Radiance, but then decides to incinerate the Grib with it. Maybe the Grib threat is just that serious and this is not an error, but it did seem kind of odd to me how her feelings suddenly switched like it was nothing.

thoughts:

1. I really enjoyed this game! I had high hopes from lltq, and this blew it out of the park! I especially liked the open world bit. this is my opinions after 2 full playthroughs so I might just be missing something instead of it being a problem

2 I second the previous suggestion that it would be nice for the mood page to give an indicator of which stats they're best at to prevent having to switch tabs. this wasn't a problem on my second playthrough because i kinda had them memorized at that point, but when I was at the beginning of my first playthrough it was a little irritating

3 i love how you can pick your pet to have different moods based on what type of character you're planning as playing as, and how it makes only having two mood selections slightly easier to deal with

4 i was a little disappointed that there wasn't flavor text for the different skill levels for lltq since i really liked how that would slowly reveal more the novan world's history and culture and stuff, but the idea of codexes are cool and makes up for that! It would be fun if you got more codexes with high imperial history and stuff but no pressure! Kinda related to that- I liked the little callback to lltq when Zorana was investigating the novans, it was fun how all the different legends could represent all the different paths you could take through the game.

5 trying to ask with out spoiling things for other people- after the events in turn 22, is there a way to get it without waiting until after you turned empress or is that option just not showing because of my intrigue stats being medium levels and not high? Or is that option related to another hidden plotline or something I haven't discovered yet?

6 i forgot to take a screenshot of this and i haven't been able to replicate it so I'm just resorting to describing as much as i can, but after completing the piloting challenge from the star admiral where i was only able to graze the target and bail out with contortion/body control it gave me dialogue that amounted to him not backing me but not being necessarily opposed to me either, then I got one of those error messages "an exception has occurred" that wouldn't let me rollback, I have a lot of save games so i couldn't figure out which one was from that playthrough so idk how much help this would be i think it was during turn 19 in deep space if that helps

7. I presumed to start a plotline where you try to figure out what happened to the emperor (before the epilogue) you have to have high science and intrigue then you'd be able to start investigating inside the palace, but I didn't see that pop up as an option. Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you so much for having a beta option for this game, I was really excited to play it early! Overall 5/5 stars, I had a lot of fun!

5 + 7 - You're onto something here. That's all I can say right now. (Some other people are investigating, I don't know if you guys want to make a separate splot spoiler thread all rot13'd where you try to work on these angles....)

Possible bug? Completed Ozara’s personal quest with a basic pass. The dialogue indicated she thought more of me, but would not pledge her vote. But, she actually did pledge her vote.

Yeah I got that same thing although I can't remember if it was the same character, confused me a bit

toga11081 year ago

What does 'fivim' mean? I think it means time, but I'm not sure. If anyone has idea, please help!

(English is not my first language. I don't have a problem playing the game, but I struggle sometimes. Despite the language barrier, Galaxy Princess Zorana is so fun and engaging that it’s been a real joy to play. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful experience!)

esainane1 year ago

There’s a codex entry for this! The word was made for the game. It is a unit of time, slightly less than five years.

toga11081 year ago

Thank you so much! It was something I completely missed. and your help made a big difference. I'll have to read the codex. :)

Hanako GamesDeveloper1 year ago

The codex is mostly unwritten at this point - that's the one thing I did fill in ahead of time because it's a weird word that comes up a lot so I wanted the explanation in there! Most of these entries I still need to write. But I'll get there! :D

toga11081 year ago (1 edit)

I understand! Fivim is fantastic setting that fits the galaxy-themed game. I'm looking forward to more attractive stories and world-building. Wishing you all the best!

0.7.4 update

There is now a marker showing what phase you're currently in (and need to complete) if you go over to another tab, and a tutorial popup explaining it

The scene that usually happens if you don't win the Election within two rounds has been significantly changed in the hopes of making it clearer that this is plot-relevant and not a random assassination (This may also suggest, for people who HAVE won the election, what you might need to do in order to lose the election and *not* get that scene...)

Ozara's quest outcomes hopefully fixed

Crash winning a drinking contest fixed

"you can you still" typo fixed.

Vertical alignment of items in survey results improved

I would appreciate it if people had a look at the post-election scene and let me know what you think in case it needs more tinkering. The implications of the new version are deliberately different.

Stepnix1 year ago

Much spookier, goes much further to suggest an "inside job" than the previous one did. I think it's a big improvement

Stepnix1 year ago

(if anything it might be laying it on a little thick but i think that's fine here)

BlubbKattegatt1 year ago

I re-loaded an old save to have a look at the rewritten scene. I think this is a great improvement. The first one felt like a cheap death that came out of nowhere, but the new one feels more like a natural part of the plot puzzle and motivates you to try again instead.

Sheliak1 year ago

Ooh that is not who I thought did it in the original version of the scene!

Secret1 year ago (2 edits)

That's a lot better. I figured it was just another random elector assassination, but this makes a whole lot more sense! I'm very slow in unraveling everything going on so I have no clue how to avoid death without a win but this is a much clearer ending.

Hanako GamesDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to close this topic and open another one with just update info so it's easier to see what's been added - the interesting nesting structure of itch's replies makes it potentially tricky to find things as more comments get into a thread. (My first time using itch communities so there are surprises for me!) So I'm going to try and open up some new ones a little more organised.
