Mask of Arcadius still has the shower scene (or at least a truncated version of it; I've only played the censored versions), but that's it. There's no sexual content in the game outside of Claude's dialogue and the OP. I wasn't even aware that Ava and Shields had gone beyond kissing when they were in school together until I saw mention of it in forum discussions. Liberation Day has the shower scene and a mostly obscured depiction of the Shields/Chigara scene from the point of view of Asaga. Frankly, I'd prefer it if even shower scenes and the like had a censor option, though preferably one that still includes the narration and dialogue, even if they're set to just a black screen. It'd be very easy to implement and would be a nice alternative for those of us who just want a space opera with a bit of clean romance. And Claude. I'm fine with things like the mindstream scene, mind you, especially since that manner of depicting one's mind is such a staple of the mecha genre that Sunrider is largely based on. Innterestingly enough, I said something very similar back in July of last year on this thread here.

When you say in the middle battle, do you mean when Chigara enters the mind stream and comes face to face with Alpha? Even in the Uncensored version the bodies are essentially sillhouetes. Aside from the faces, there's about as much anatomical detail as a store manequin. I've seen things with a ESRB rating of T get away with a whole lot more than that.

So I have only played both of these in the uncensored formats, and as such, I have no experience as to what the censored versions are like. I know there are two respective H-scenes in the main story lines of each, a shower scene alongside a standard sex scene, with various ones tacked on at the end of [RE]Union. The ones in [RE]Union are basically fluff, so I see them as just being cut out. I assume the same happens for the opening shower scene in Liberation Day, as it is basically fluff as well.
All the others however, actually contribute to the plot, so I was wondering how exactly they were handled when it came to censoring.

So, Lyrical Nanoha Reflection anyone? I feel at this point, I'm basically trying to find things to watch as I pass the months away waiting for the BD releae. Japaan Theatrical release is in 20 days, so BD release will be around January or so.

If it is using python pickle, you should switch to json or python's ast since pickle has all kinds of problems. (Or during import use a utility function that tries to load via json then if fails tries to load using ast) Otherwise it's probably a serialization problem. You can write a DFS function to convert the dictionary prior to saving, or write a general function to dump to json and back. Thanks for the suggestion, but it ended up being a problem with me forgetting a return statement under a 'after_load' label like a complete boob. renpy uses cpickle btw, and seems to work well enough. switching out such an ingrained part of renpy on my own though seems unrealistic and uneconomical. I'd sooner change my data structures to support it better than the other way around. It's the little thins that always trip you up. I seem to forget brackets and quotes about 70% of the time, leaving a mess for debugging.

I have to go with Mika on this one. Just something about the chuunibyo.

Believe me, all the routes in the DLC are like that. You should see Claudes ending.

I wouldn't say Sunrider is an Eroge after all. I know, it is mostly classified as a eroge, but is as example 2Fast2Fourious an erotic movie? You have nice girls, some sex, but after all theae thing are just... Yeah, fan service? The movies main plot isn't about sex, same ar sunrider. To plot is maybe about girls, love, but also about war, heroism, mechas etc. NOT about erotics. I think more erotic scenes would make sunrider more and more generic - if I would see hentai I don't need a strategy/RP-VN. Pretty much. There are plenty of VN's out there with the story built around a sexual aspect, but in MoA an LD, the story is meant to be extremely dark. Forcing ero-content would ruin the story. Sunrider is an Eroge, but only in the loosest sense of the word.

some lag during battle is fairly common due to inefficiencies in the way the battle UI is coded, but if it's really bad you may have improved results switching to a different renderer by pressing shift-G Didnt wanna create a new thread so gonna ask this here. Any clues on how to get the secret ending for Claude? I ran through almost all scenarios for Sola so far and never once came across her ending. Is it not available if we choose Sola's help? Icari man, Icari. I'll let you figure it out from there.

In the words of the great Shiriyoshi(pretty certain I spelled that wrong, oh well) the beauty in art lies in what you can not see, that your mind fills in for you. I've played a fair amount of eroge in my life, and I've found that often direct view of the ERO content(through cg's) takes away from the seriousness of the story.
Basically what I'm saying is that a good narration of the scene will often do a lot more for the mind than simply seeing it, as once you see it it loses it's alure.It's how you imagine it that makes it good.

So I was playing through MoA again last night, when I realized what it was about SA and LD that kept turning me away. That was the sprites and a number of the backgrounds. Some of the backgrounds worked really well, but some of them felt, well, forced. I also found Asaga's sprites felt forced, Especially in Liberation day. Sometimes things worked, and other times it felt completely wrong.
I understand the resuse of sprites and backgrounds from Sunrider Academy in Liberation Day, as it saves money that could be spent on other resources, but some of it just doesn't translate very well.

Well, Alpha identified Claude as a god not even halfway through Liberation Day. Back during the convesation between The wanderer and Alpha, if you had the Japanese voices on it was literally thrown in your face that Claude was the wanderer. So the reveal at the end wasn't really random or out of nowhere, as previous events began falling into place after that discussion, with the Liberation Day Massacare providing the keystone for it all. Honestly though, I still feel claude hasn't yet revealed her true motives. I think it's more that we were never really given any indication before LibDay (as in before that game entirely) that we were dealing with someone on the level of an entity/god such as Claude. A time-traveler maybe, but not someone who seemed to be capable of manipulating reality at will. That Claude was the Wanderer was indeed foreshadowed - that she was practically a god as opposed to a literal "wanderer" through time was not. True. Things really.... sped up in Liberation Day. If the story had been more fleshed out in the middle, it likely would have been able to make a lot more sense. After the reveal, to me Claude comes across as a mix of Loki, from norse mythology, and The Doctor, pre-time war era. She goes around doing as she pleases, but she "seems" to have a set of rules she abides by. Hopefully the writers will be able to stick to those rules, whatever they may be.

I'd recommend Rance I guess. Haven't really found anything that really resembles Sunrider. I often dig through vndb when I'm bored, and Sunriders pretty unique. Sengoku Rance??? YUS! That reminds me. The next OVA for Quest for Hikari is supposed to be coming out on the 26 th
I really wish thy hadn't done it as a hentai though.

Thanks. Also, for some reason it's showing Asaga's sprite instead of Alice's at that point.

So I'm trying to run [RE]turn and I consistently get a traceback at the same point every time. It's on the diode cloning facility in the opening, after alpha says "You have suffered... but I Seek to create a universe where we can finally be safe..." I progress to the next frame and alway get a traceback.
heres the traceback.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
