VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.17.0 P2 Ch.5.0] [Tropecita Games]

[TropecitaGames]

Any chance of a compressed android?

I already publish 5 versions of the game (Win, Mac, Linux, Android, and Android pre-patched) all of them with the images at 95% quality compression. If I were to publish a compressed version, there would be a couple of problems:
* How much compression? There are out there, as Allan Trumbull found out (thanks Allan), compressed versions at several rates. If I compress it at 30% (for example) it would look like shit on devices with a big screen (7" or more), and if I do it at 70% the size doesn't go down enough to justify it.
* Should I do a compressed version for all the platforms? If I do it for Android, why not for Windows or Linux? That would mean publishing 10 versions every time, and worst of all to keep two image folders separately, one compressed and one not, with the risk of fucking up the publication.

For those reasons, I won't publish a compressed version for android or any other platform, sorry.

awesome game as usual ... love the way everything is working out .. nice story so far .... not confusing , like some games i've played and thank you for no grinding shit

Thanks ImperialD; I promised a game I would like to play as a player, and that includes not grinding, relationships that evolve naturally (inside the genre), and not confusing the players artificially. The Mystery Girls plotline was the most confusing at the time, and that was necessary, as it happens outside the MC's sight. In this update, it has taken a step to clarify (for the player, as the MC continues clueless) what was happening. At the end of the day, the hardest thing to keep track will be what girl knows about what girls.

Well the in___t patch works with no issues with the latest update. (I loaded a save from the previous update, which originally was patched from the start of this excellent story with the I-patch.)

I also regularly use the "0x52_URM" tool to see what's behind the all my renpy story choices, and the image I posted shows the patch worked as it's suppose to.

Thanks, MrBenny for checking it out, and thanks for showing me that tool. I will try to get it and check if it can help me with my somewhat chaotic way of coding.

Love this game, 0% stressful content. Thanks

Well, it's a 'simple' story featuring people with 'simple' lives, so I prefer to keep it on the wholesome side of gaming. There are obviously conflicts and antagonists, but the characters don't know about it, so their stress levels are bearable. Also, the naivety of the MC helps with it. As someone said, he wants his harem, but he's showing his cards the moment he has the opportunity. He doesn't want his harem for selfish reasons.

Well,he can always check if his hand is black,no? Just saying...

He checked, and with Erika's and Emma's help, he rationalizes it, as he has rationalized the whole situation as a dream.

Whatever he rationalize, it's still black until he wash it. He could(should,like first thing to do like any other person) take a look at his hand when in doubt. That proof of his sanity is still there.
Don't get me wrong. I love everything about your game(minus Emma who is pain in the ass,unatractive and always in the way,at least for me) that's why I pointed out.

 

[TropecitaGames]

Whatever he rationalize, it's still black until he wash it. He could(should,like first thing to do like any other person) take a look at his hand when in doubt. That proof of his sanity is still there.

And he looks at it. Literally, he says "I thought I was losing my mind. It's the same as before. When I got to my room, I saw that my hand was stained black"

And he looks at it. Literally, he says "I thought I was losing my mind. It's the same as before. When I got to my room, I saw that my hand was stained black"

Hmm,I will replay again. If is like you say(I have no doubt) that brings original question. Why he didn't continue to look for 'guilty party' or maybe i'm just tired and not seeing it and wasting your time to answering me. Sorry.

 

[skater555]

How many girls the game will have?

Oh boi, i won't dare answer that, but bear in mind if he says 30 it might be 100, just a warning.

 

[skater555]

ok but does the game have a lot of choices and does the choices matter for the game or its a linear path?

Yes there are choices, not linear, if something you don't want to see, you get choice if you want to or not

 

[TropecitaGames]

Does the game will have a lot of choices and does the choices will matter for the game or its a linear path? How many girls the game will have?

The base choices are if you want to open a path with any of the girls (with the core girls have up to three chances to open that path). About linearity, there are choices that change your relationship with a girl or how your relationship with that girl is. For example:

Spoiler

If you peep at Girl X in a certain circumstance, you will get caught by Girl Y (Choice A). Girl Y will try to the MC and will try to femdom. You can choose in Choice B to accept the , turn tables and maledom her, turn tables and call it a draw and begin a romantic relationship with her, or turn tables and close the path with her. If in Choice A you didn't peep, you only can start a romantic relationship with Girl Y.

I don't know if this example answers your question about linearity.
The number of "haremable" girls was 26 originally. By players' suggestion, I am considering making a change with one of the "non-haremable" girls (her role was that of a side chick). I'm not decided yet

Hmm,I will replay again. If is like you say(I have no doubt) that brings original question. Why he didn't continue to look for 'guilty party' or maybe i'm just tired and not seeing it and wasting your time to answering me. Sorry.

He doesn't look for the guilty party because when he sees the two possible candidates, he assumes he was dreaming. When he returns to his room and sees his stained hand he doesn't know how to react, and that's the reason for him to comment it to Emma and Erika.
I will never say a player wastes any of my time. Your questions are as legitimate as any other, and I'm happy to answer

Oh boi, i won't dare answer that, but bear in mind if he says 30 it might be 100, just a warning.

I only lie about the number of renders or the amount of text in every update. I am very bad about planning the renders I will do. I plan for 300 and when I begin rendering I end up with 1.043
I hope to be able to write 10.000 words, I get enthusiastic, and end up writing 20,000
But I won't do a 100-girls harem. There aren't enough rooms. I say 26 min, 29 max... well 30 depending on a poll that I will do to my Patrons after the one-shot spin-off gets published

 

[Call of Booty]

R studends arriving in next update?

 

[TropecitaGames]

R studends arriving in next update?

The next update is 0.7B, which completes the Day 9-Wednesday.
The first 4 students should arrive on Day 11-Friday, and I hope for the 0.8 to be a double-day update covering Thursday and Friday, so they should arrive in 0.8. But it depends on my real-life calendar, especially at my job. If they schedule a job trip for me in November, I won't be able to do the double-say update, so they would arrive in 0.9

 

[skater555]

plan for 300 and when I begin rendering I end up with 1.043
I won't do a 100-girls harem

Ahh the infamous 300
Thank god you said no to 100 harem, you are crazy enough already my friend!

Now that you've given me the idea... mmmmmm... perhaps in the epilogue

 

[player6969666]

I have no idea what I should call this mod. Decision-Mod? Multi-Mod? Yeah, let's go with that.
The "old" input style fix is still valid, so I let it stay. But since this is something completely different, I do it as a new post!

Edit 2022-11-01: Looks like there's only one choice with impact on my mod and that is already covered. No mod update needed.

My Dorm - Multi-Mod by RiamMar

Game Version: Universal
Content up to v0.7.0a


This mod will give you the option to change your important choices... Well some of them for now.
Currently available are mostly choices that give you "early routes".
If there are some combinations of choices that I could imagine screwing stuff up, I added it to the description.
Choices appear only, if they are already available in-game. Same for names, so don't open up the mod menu and run me over because there are a few blank buttons without names in it, when there's no name for i.e. Martha yet.

You can rename the MC and the cast members close to him.

Contains family patch that is activated by default and can be turned of in the Mod Menu.
​

Spoiler: Game version compatibility and choices

This mod should work with all game versions, though it will only cover choices up to the "Content" mentioned above.

Not all choices are of importance, some are just for different dialogue right there or a bit later. Flavour, so to speak.
Those will not be included in this mod or if they are, it's because I thought they might have impact later on.

The general pregnancy status will not impact the individual pregnancy status of your girls. It will disable the choice in future dialogue only and could remove some pregnancy content, but most likely not (all)... Depends on the dev's implementation.

Change of harem acceptance will be added in the next mod version, as are some late route options. That's the plan at least.

Spoiler: Family Patch

Though my mod can't switch the family content mid-dialogue branch, it can switch the content not only at the start of the game or at the start of a new version.
It might take a few lines to leave the dialogue branch (e.g. after c06s007_DaphneKnows_EN dialogue branch

For savegame comptibility reasons, my mod cannot deactivate the family content, if the other patch is installed as well.
There is a backup file and readme.txt in my MEGA folder to unpatch the other patch.

Spoiler: Installation

1. Delete old family patch
   1. delete family.rpy and family.rpyc from Path/To/MyDorm/game/mods/RiamMar
2. Download and extract archive
3. Copy'n'Paste mods folder into Path/To/MyDorm/game/

Spoiler: Deinstallation of _this_ mod

Step 1 and 2 are a safety measure to ensure save compatibility

1. Load a save
2. Save with Family Patch deactivated
3. Delete mods folder

Deinstall my previous stand-alone family patch.
Does not contain the input style fix. Either keep it, look it up here or in my MEGA folder in the signature.

Spoiler: What's next?

This is the first iteration. I basically made it work somehow (yeah, really reassuring, right?).
I've got 32 choices, some of them most likely not important and some doubled, since they affect two cast members. But with the number 30 mentioned by TropecitaGames, I could be close to the target but mooost likely missed some.

Also Mrs. Washington is Samantha... That changes later on, depending on how the variable has the name saved...

You see, there is still much to do and I will continue working on it tomorrow or so. Maybe tomorrow bug fixing. (I hope you guys don't find bugs. :-(
After that looking further into choices, make later routes available, do something with blank buttons etc. pp. Much to do, sooo muuuuch to do.

I'll also get in touch with TropecitaGames for further betterment of the mod, as mentioned in an earlier post.

Nice game, love it! <3

I guess I will go and get something to eat now, since I'm starving all day long coding...

P.S.: The mod is "half" prepared to have multi-lang support. I thought that would be a good idea, with the game having Spanish as selectable language. *wink wink*[/ispoiler]

I cannot seem to open the mod menu in the game. I have installed the files in your mod folder into the game folder. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

 

[tarshack]

mixdrop is the incorrrect version it still links to v6.0

 

[Shagrynn]

yeah the multi mod versions on all the hosting sites is still the previous version, crashes the game

 

[Grizzzzly]

I know that's what the site tag definition is, but as a preg content enjoyer, please don't add the pregnancy tag when all you have for the moment is impregnation. The majority of people searching for "pregnancy" games are looking for content with visibly pregnant women, not just impregnation.

I would disagree, as there is no "tag" for impregnation, those that like risky sex, or the act of impregnation talk, is probably more popular vice the big belly thing. Thus those that want to find games that talk about pregnancy, have risky sex where there may be consequencesyou kinda search for "pregnancy" Personally I don't care if a big belly is in the story, I am fine when an LI tells you she can get P, you do it, and she confirms it.

Hmmm, no real idea what's wrong there. Can you DM me and tell me your OS and any error message (traceback.txt)?

Edit 2022-11-03: Made a separate thread to keep mod support out of game thread.

 

[RiamMar]

Can you post me the traceback. It should be universal and it's running fine on my 0.7a WIN build

Hi, just checking to see if this compatible with the 0.7a.
The file name states 6a hence the question.

Hi, just checking to see if this compatible with the 0.7a.

Yeah, I would need to rename the files, redo the virus check and upload them again on the mirror sites... didn't thought it's worth just for renaming. Will add that as info to the mod post. Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: Meaning, yes, it is a universal mod that may miss content of new versions but should still work for everything else. There is only one choice with impact for later versions, which will be covered in my mod with the update for next game version (v0.7 "final" or v0.8).

Edit 2: Tested on a second PC with a fresh install of game and mod, works fine with v0.7a on my end.

 

[Rintal]

Another incest harem. Another sisters, aunts, mothers etc. (It's good that without a grandmother.) Another MC, at the sight of which, all the girls just lose their minds and undies. Another dull, vanilla romance. Everyone around is fucking with tears of happiness in their eyes.
This game is as good as hundreds of other carbon copy games.
