Ren'Py Private Lives [v0.20] [Petardo]

[homejorz]

The second sex scene with Penelope is on the bed with she on top, she basically figure out Steve lying about being gay ( in the chair sex, Steve confesses ).

To get the bed scenes, Steve must have cummed in the elevator and I don't have specific save for that. The closest one is 11-1 the elevator scene but you have to play a whole bunch more.

The alternative is to just cheat using URM, load the 11-4 ( outside Penelope apartment ), launch URM via alt-M and change st_cums variable to True.


I think we need the persistent file for that, but I'm not sure if it is going to mess our normal playthrough or not. If the persistent variables are strictly for unlocking "Extras" stuffs, then we should be fine.

Thanks man, after a few tries I figured the penelope stuff out anyway.



and yes I was thinking that, we need the persistent files for unlocking everything pertardo.

I've been reading you all and I think it's time to introduce that fortune teller character I had in mind on next build. Time to ask her for unlocking missed scenes in exchange of those sex points.

Good to know. Originally, I thought that the "Sex Points" will be the scoring system that determine the "win" condition for the MC, i.e. either his/her novel crushing it or flops. But if it is really intended as the currency for exploring all the story variants also nice.

Another issue I would like to ask opinion. About the stories, that you know those can be failed and have to be replayed. I'm thinking about getting rid of this fail chance and making those more simple. I've been reading things that I thought were right, and I'm not seeing the point at all on forcing you to repeat a character's story... Yeah, that can be quite annoying. Should I change that game part to something easier?

If you have a different mechanism to avoid failed story, then it is really good. For me, it is not a big concern because I made save before important decision ( the red warning ) and some other saves during the story. If I failed, then I just reload or sometimes I just rollback ( I re-enabled rollback ).

One issue with the current replay of failed story is that it starts from the very beginning for that NPC, so it is a bit annoying for stories that have 2 parts like with Mercedes or Penelope. Also, most stories give "Sex Points" after successful completion but some stories give 1 "Sex Point" during the story itself for some lewd stuff, if the story failed I am not sure if the awarded "Sex Point" will be removed or not. Someone might "farm" that for "Sex Points" for no reason ( if they somehow don't know how to cheat efficiently ).

Currently, the game doesn't have a full Replay Gallery, the closest we have is asking the NPC to tell their story again, but then we basically have to play the story again, getting the right answer for the same experience or change it to get the variation. The "Extras" just give hints about how many variations and slideshows of what they are. It would be great if there is dedicated mode that remember players choices so that the story can replay uninterrupted, at least the sex scenes portion if not the whole story, or something equivalent.

The biggest "challenge" for me is to figure out the "routes" or "pathing" for the characters and unlock their story. Currently, I am not able to access Tarja story because of the previous decisions I made, so I am starting a different playthrough just to unlock her story. For Mercedes, I also create different playthrough specifically just to unlock all her stories. For Claude, I only unlock 1/7 sex scenes so I think I might need to ask her to re-tell her story to unlocks the variations. These saves I don't intend to use later, I just keep them for the moment as they might come in handy, but now I have to somehow manage the different "playthrough" saves. Eventually, I might figure out how many different playthrough I really need.
That being said, I don't mind the branching storylines and I am not a completionist so it is not a deal breaker if I can't see all the contents, as long as I get 1 or 2 of the good/best endings, that's fine with me. I still try, do my best to get all the contents but okay if I missed some.

Lastly, I don't know what questions and answers that made my MC to be male but I am glad because for female MC there aren't that much of choices for LIs. Female MC basically has to be lesbian. The potential LIs are primarily females, Marina, Sofia, Amanda, Mercedes ( if she is not dating Jason I think ), Jane, Tess & Rina. I have no clue how to pick male LI for a female MC anyway, but best guess candidate is Jason?

Man, I suck so much! XD, of course it's the persistent! Here it is, unzip and put it on saves.

Sex Points are supposed to be farmed, can be get only once, but you can still replay to find those not found and those are not removed once you got them. I'm planning rebuilding those stories so that you can always get a default "good" ending and keep going with the next one, with the choice to replay the full story only if you want to.

Fortune Teller will offer you replaying whole sex scenes if unlocked. I just need to find the way how to not make a big mess with the code...

There's five random questions during early game that sets MC's gender. Not sure about that indeed, at first I thought it would be cool to surprise the player, but I'm really thinking to let the player choose that at game start... At the cost of everyone choosing male I guess... I'm actually trying to make equally scenes for both Alex-boy/Alex-girl, but I'm already seeing the game needs more bros to make it fair. There's still place for new characters.

Thanks man. and Fortune teller sex scene gallery is a good idea. and regardless of the points system, I can only take so many variants before I eventually use a gallery unlock mod for lewd games LOL but that's just me

Yup, Fortune Teller sex scene gallery is great feature IMO too, it gives context to the Replay ( which tied to the players playthrough ) and work well for "branching"/non-linear game. The players only see the relevant scenes that were shaped by their ealier choices in that playthrough. They still can find out what they're missing on the other routes by checking the "Extras".

Tarja scene is missing some images LOL those were the ones I actually was having the most trouble unlocking, besides penelope. Anyone else got the tarja scenes?

also seems to be missing the Tarja Jason scene ironically unlocked it in game but don't see it in the cast slideshow

 

[homejorz]

How's this coming along?

 

[Petardo666]

How's this coming along?

Lately it's been going slower than I would have liked, but going on. I'm trying to have a new build ready in two weeks, can't really garantee that, but it's getting closer. I don't think I'll be able to implement some of the things asked (not yet). Not sure if it deserves to be up to 0.2, but I will release it, respecting the three months cycle.

Awesome. The fortune teller! Most important demand!

 

[Whofellnow]

Usually I try to find all the bits myself, but the unique structure (which I like) is making it harder. Is there currently and purely lesbian scenes in the game? If so no spoilers, I’ll keep trying diff paths. If not, is it planned?

Hopefully Petardo, the game developer will answer regarding future contents. As far as the current contents, there is so very little lesbian contents/scenes in the game ( I don't even remember which character is the lesbian ). The MC can be male or female depending on player's choices so there is possibility that the MC can be lesbian, however the stories the other NPCs told are mostly straight sex stories.

It is going to be tricky to get only the lesbian scenes because you basically have to fail the other stories to avoid the scenes you don't want to see, but still progress the game to unlock additional characters, including the lesbian(s). Is it possible, not sure, probably.

There's actually one, and sure it's planned to be more!

Game's really designed as a big chaotic butterfly effect, you can never know what kind of weird stuff can happen because of your choices, for good or bad. Someday I'll implement an ingame walkthrough, but not yet.

Can someone compress it? Please

Yoda is not good at thank yous, so thanks for the compression.

 

[naibsel]

I think removing the ability to go back to previous text, especially in a game that has both screens with no text and screens where text does not pop up right away make the experience of playing your game worst then you intend it to be.
