VN Ren'Py Celebrity Hunter [Ep.5] [Geiko Games]

[Geiko Games]

Remind me again why this biggest and most ambitious VN with 70+ hours of gameplay (no grind), 3500 unique 4k scenes, 9 main characters and dozens of other and over 30 endings is getting trickled down bi-weekly release of small episodes?




You got to enjoy modest dev that let their game release speak for themselves instead of jizzing all over the keyboard over their masterpiece.

I realize I might have hyped the game up a bit when I mentioned the 3 million downloads on Google Play. My intention was to highlight the game's past success and its ability to engage players without relying solely on explicit content.

I'm incredibly passionate about Celebrity Hunter and want to ensure this new version lives up to its potential. That's why we've opted for bi-weekly updates to deliver the best possible quality. Bi-weekly updates allow us to focus on things like remaking renders, improving and localizing dialogue, making animations, and incorporating player feedback. This might seem slow, but it ensures a polished experience for the global audience.

Is there a version of the game with sex scenes already? Or are they all new for the English version as well?
You speak of the google play one without, but is there one with? As in not Andriod.

 

[TioCass]

Yes. It's not suposed to work right now because we are not ready to open the "free roaming" yet. Probably in a few updates.

Unless it's preventing you from advancing the story. If you are stuck please tell me with more detail which call this happened and I'm going to fix it asap.

Let me show you what's not working in the attachment.

Great game so far. May I suggest leaving the phone and menu icons visible? I like the idea of hovering over them to display them, and its also less cluttered but its frustrating fumbling around with them.

I loved your comment and thank you very much for all the tips. They are really insightful.

I would love if you could play Episode 2 and tell me what you think about the UX/UI now. I revamped a lot of it since Episode 1 was getting a lot of hate because of it. I'm not seeing much of negative feedback today, so maybe it works now. I would love your input on that.

I play adult games here on F95 since 2018. It was this forum that made me start this career. But, instead of going "underground" I took the concept of the adult renpy/daz visual novel and made it to the mainstream on Brazil. We have a lot of smartphones here, so it really did well.

The "banned from GP for being to steamy" is exactly what happened. I could get back there, but I really like doing adult stuff.

I removed most of Ren'py default functions because they were too much for mobile users. Too many small buttons. I find Ren'py really shit for mobile users. Phones are not Tom's thing. So, I really "remade" the renpy engine to communicate with backend, accept ads, microtransactions etc.

Now, I'm going the way back. Putting all the functions I removed back into the game. I really hope people help me with feedback because I want to get experience on PC market and release the best version possible of CH for the global/pc community.

I didn't realize the original mobile game used a modified Ren'py engine, optimized for mobile. That explains the UX issues in your initial PC release. You've probably realized by now that PC and mobile UI are incompatible. For the best user experience, you're going to need to re-optimize for PC.

I'll take a look at the latest build if I have time. Honestly I shouldn't even be posting here right now; as usual, I'm most "productive" in the VN community when I'm procrastinating on something more important.

Thank you very much. We found the problem and going to fix it for Episode 5. For now, I recommend that you don't open your phone in the begenning to not get stuck.

Thx. I put in my to-do list to have an option in the settings like "Navigation buttons always visible".

Such ambitions

Geiko Games, congratulations on your game. I saw femdom tag in the future category. Is there any femdom scenes currently in the game or is it still for the future?

Thank you! You have a power struggle with Cássia right now. She is ruthless, but I don't know if will be enough for you, but we are going to have some extreme stuff in the future, like being treated like a dog by a female judge named Elizabeth Richter.

your game has multiple protagonists (fem mc (teen model) and male (main, so far) mc), right?
if so, those tags should be added to the list in the OP and as main tags.

nice game thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Elizabeth Richter seems like a fascinating character . Looking forward to meet her .
If you don't mind, can you tell me in which episode I can expect these scenes?

 

[Nightwing94]

looking forward to this game

1: Dev should delete this pompous "Overview", because it's nothing more but "clickbait"! At this place should be summary of initial story instead, because player at start technically don't know what kind of game it is.
2: UI elements still missing standard "Quit" option, not everyone play it on window mode.
3: No matter what changes in Settings you do, after reopening game it resets to initial window mode with sound on max! RenPy games usually remember player's setting, even after game close.
4: Style of PNG layered game graphic design looks to me more suitable for RPGM than RenPy.

 

[CboyC95]

No lesbian content?

 

[wolfsbane]

Why does the tags say female protagonist when its a male protagonist game?

The only protagonist is male. You can control some girls some times, but I don't think it should have Female Protagonist because the female POV is rare.

Thanks for the reply.

I really don't know to tell you right now. We are changing the order of the original events for the global version. We are improving the cadency of the story with what we learned from the first release.

1) If you call marketing, clickbait, then yeah... I just want to hype people for the game. If you click the spoiler section you going to get a summary of the story.
2) Thank you. I'm going to add it on Episode 5.
3) I'm going to look into it. For me it's working as intended. Maybe the way you're closing the window is forced and it's not saving your settings?
4) Thanks for the feedback.

No lesbian content?

Yes. Not yet, but soon. Lots of it.

Why does the tags say female protagonist when its a male protagonist game?

I didn't put female protagonist tag. Maybe some mod did.

perhaps your main main protagonist is male, yet as you have female protagonists that make decisions (and from what ive played i wouldnt say their POVs are that rare at all), the game falls into "multiple protagonists" category with "fem mc" as secondary main characters.
if you dont want that, just remove those side main characters (aka decisions player has to make for them).
