A somewhat sad update: a couple days ago out of nowhere the Multitool nuked all my game and toolkit files, including all the files from this project. I had most of it backed up in a separete folder, thankfully, but there are now a lot of issues as I try to make everything work again like it did before. Right now I can start a game with the mod on, reach Last Light and finish the first dialogue without any issues, BUT I cannot load a savegame from that game when I leave and try to return. I don't know what's causing this. There most certainly are other issues as well, and in light of assessments at university, I will not have much time to fix it in the next few weeks. If people have programming knowledge and would like to lend a hand, dm me here on Nexus! You can also dm if you would like to help with anything else in this mod. You can also donate using the link in the mod page or in my profile, but of course only do it if you're financially comfortable enough with it.
Here's some stuff you might want to help with: (1) Helping script the story in Osiris (main questline) (2) Making custom assets (e.g., 3D models) (3) Helping script Osiris (the friends/non-romance route) (4) Helping plan the logic for the endings (flag combinations) (5) Helping with/working on a sidequest (I have two possible sidequests in mind, and if course if you have good ideas for a side-quest you might want to do, I would love to hear them) (6) Offering any kind of knowledge regarding stuff like adding custom music, making custom books, etc., which I still don't fully understand how to do (7) Writing good poetry for Raphael's dialogues (this also has to be poetry that rhymes or mostly rhymes, which I know hasn't really been the convention in 'serious' English poetry for a couple centuries, but it fits the vibe better. Also, it sounds better to my ear, perhaps because in my first language poetry almost always rhymes) (8) Writing sex scene dialogue and dialogue involving discussions of intimacy (9) If you happen to be a millionaire with access to perforce, you could help with timeline stuff. I'm told perforce can edit existing timelines without having to re-generate them and redo all the camera shots and emotion anims
Adding to this: if anyone would like to sign up to playtest the second game/second part of the quest, please let me know! Y'all can join this discord - https://discord.gg/KjpQXaxm - if you'd like to be part of that. Fair warning though, it might require extensive testing, so keep in mind that it might be a little time consuming.
Would absolutely LOVE to play this someday but sadly my computer is a brick and I use geforce now to play BG3 :( it only supports mods through mod.io- any plans to upload this there as well or is it too expansive with the new area to support? (sorry if it's a dumb question, ik nothing about modding!)
I would LOVE to help in any way possible - writing/play testing/literally anything. I would KILL for a Raphael romance mod and looked into doing one myself but had no idea where to start and then thankfully found yours
Hey! Sure, I would love some help. Just dm me with some stuff that you feel like you can do and I'll have a look at where that could be used. Thanks for testing!
hey! I dont know if i missed anything but I am rn playing the mod and Its absolutely perfect imo, im just wondering if theres a second part after playing chess with him and how to get there, aside from that there were no bugs on my part
Hey, I'm working on the second game (aka Part 2) right now. I've planned the whole quest but because of university stuff I've had less time, plus it turned out to be quite a lot of work for one person. I'm glad you liked the first game though!
Hi, thanks! I've considered doing one myself, but I'm thinking now it's a bit too much work for me. Of course people are free to do one, like I think there's a Portugese one that happened completely independently of me! So ig there's a possibility but not really any plans atm
Got it. I'm a Russian native speaker, so if you consider Russian translation, I will gladly help if anything. Good luck with development, I'll be looking forward to it!
Oh, nice, I'm also a native Russian speaker. I'm not sure but I think you can actually do a localization/translation without needing access to the rest of the mod files, so I think you might be able to do one if you wanted without needing access to the dialogue editing tools and such (not sure though, I've never done it before)
Та без проблем лол, удачи если будете переводить. Если решите сделать/найдёте где-то перевод, скиньте мне сообщение пж, я сыграю. Ещё раз спасибо за поддержку!
О божечки,вы говорите по русски! Подскажите, ваш мод озвучен? Если что у меня есть товарищ с шикарным голосом, либо могу предоставить в пользование иишку для симуляции. Ох, если бы только Эндрю это увидел и сжалился над нами
Can't believe I'm only finding this now. Damn! Sucks to hear about Multitool killing your files. Definitely will be back to play/support when you're able to resolve the save game issue. Or if I have the whole day to spare I can try to reach the end beyond that point and bug test lol. You're seriously awesome for making this.
Hey, thanks! I'm not sure what's cuasing the save game issue, but I have not been able to re-create it in a fully vanilla run. It might be a mod conflict, idk how to go about fixing that tbh
Oh that's good to hear at least that it might be another mod that's the issue. Might just have to try introducing one mod at a time to see what could be the culprit. I'm just using hair, skin, and outfit mods, plus Gustav, a hair icon replacer, Mod Fixer, and two mods that change Astarion and Gale's looks a little. I could try with just those mods for now and see if I have any issues? I don't see why those would conflict with your mod but you never know. I'll report back in a few days and let you know it goes.
You do NOT UNDERSTAND how excited I am for this. I'm in the middle of brainstorming a huge fanfiction project between tav and raphael and seeing this made me so happy
-I would love to donate, what's the easier way I could do that?
Hey, thanks! Glad to hear it :) You could use the link in the mod page/my profile, or if that does not work (as it sometimes doesn't for some unknown reason), you can PayPal to [email protected] or use my brand-new Ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/foundatlantis which I hope works
LAWWWDD ok so I FINALLY played it with a soon-to-be corrupted angel who can't help but love him blah blah you know the trope, but ugh I loved the interactions so much! I'm here for you all the way! A bit off topic, but I'm currently perusing my degree in classical violin and I loved the very in character detail of him being interested in music, I can TOTALLY see him as someone who would be all types of arts. He is so true to character
Hey, thanks! Glad you liked it! I honestly enjoyed writing that bit of the conversation most probably, apart from the story about the sun which I'm relatively sure no one has found/gotten yet. That's an awesome degree too! Idk if you write music n stuff but I wonder if you'd mind joining the team to do some music for the mod? I've also thought of several pieces I could find an instrumental cover for and use as background music. It would also be neat to have some input from someone who knows about music (I don't have very good pitch lol). Of course of course no pressure, especially since it would be volunteered, but I just thought I might ask. Either way, thanks for testing the mod!
ooooh thats awesome! I can totally do a violin cover! If you send over music of some sort, I will be more than glad to play it for you! I also can provide input as well :) What do you message from?
I have dm'd the actor on Instagram about possibly voicing the mod but I'm not sure if he'll ever see it (or if he has seen it and is not interested). Someone else might want to dm him and ask, since I can't message again, but I also don't want to pester him lol. Thanks for testing! Let me know if you encounter any bugs that haven't been spotted yet

(Also I might poke you to help with writing at some point. Poetry used to be a special interest of mine and I like to think I'm quite good at it.)
