Ren'Py A Family Venture [v0.09 v2 Alpha] [WillTylor]

[AMUR48]

Proof of life 1/24/22
Hey guys, sorry about the fewer updates lately. I've been so busy, that it's been hard to keep up with all my responsibilities. I'm having to cover the work of coworkers who keep calling in sick with CORONA. I actually love my job, and I get great benefits, but the workload has been crazy heavy lately. Like always I'm throwing all my free time into AFV, it's just that I don't have as much of it as I did even a year ago, and far less than I had when I first started making AFV pre-Corona. I can't even tell you all how amazing it would be if game developing could cover my living expenses... If I could give this game and others all of my time... Man, that's the dream! Someday maybe.... Until then, I promise to keep giving as much as I possibly can afford.

That being said, I've got a good start on the scripting, I'd say I'm close to having 25% of the script done, and I'll soon be ready to send that chunk over to lapdragon to start on the spelling/grammer. I'm waiting for my first batch of renders that I sent to Xirbeus to come back to me, and as soon as they do, I'll send him the rest to finish the rendering process. There's really not a ton left to do to finish the update. So hang in there and please be patient with me! And as always, thanks to all of those who have continued to support the game through all the long release times, bugs, delays, etc... and still been super positive, helpful, and supportive. Just, thank you!

do you thinks we will be able to fuck the cop and to steal girls from other dudes on the future?

Wait, 25% script done?
This will take over a year from the last update

he is making around 2500$ per month from patreon and ss. He can easily hire someone to help.

There are many parts of an update of which the script is only one.
Story boarding. What do I want to happen. How will scenes play out.
Posing assets in DAZ. Creating the scenes visuals. Probably the longest to finish most of the time.
Rendering the scenes. Taking the posed files and rendering them. Doing quality control as well.
With the renders done writing the dialog for the scenes can be easier as you can put the renders behind the text you're writing.
Scripting both renders and dialog into renpy.
Proof reading the script file.
Adding more or changing existing renders and making changes to dialog as needed.
Internal bug testing.

The '25% script is done' is not an over all progress percentage.

and then pass it on to our friend Darax to translate it into Spanish... hahahahahahahahaha.
Undoubtedly doing all that takes a lot of work that is not seen and that people don't understand many times.
I just say cheer up and hope for a great update again.

Greetings, It appears that I be stuck trying to take pictures of Jacky and Mindy as Jacky keeps asking me what the headmasters sexual preference is. I did use cheats to get all the books and I am on version 0.07 extended supporter pc.

Cheats can cause bugs. Post your save and I'll take a look.

My first impression of the game:

WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE THE OPTION TO DO SOMETHING IF THE CHARACTER JUST SAYS 'WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO IT?!'

Seriously. I click 'Take a closer look', character says 'why would I want to take a closer look?'. I click on a cupboard and get 'why would I want to go through her stuff?'

FUCK the main character, I hate games that give you an option to do something but when you try they say 'oh, i dont think I should'. Also games that act as if they're giving you a choice but there is only one option to chose from. Why make it a choice?!

I will keep playing the game for a more educated opinion, but the game loses a lot of points already with this bullshit.

...Havent even finished writing it and another one appeared: the game won't let you go to warehouse until you click on a family picture at home. I guess game dev is really fucking pleased with himself and his exposition writing skills.

And the main character is driving a fucking Piaggio... This game wants me to hate it.

Wait... 'Im too young to drink'? The game said all characters are over 18...

In the states the drinking age is 21.

As far as the false options go it sounds like you haven't finished the intro yet if you still needed to click on family picture.

So here is my save file, not sure if I did this correctly but here: Mega

I can't seem to load that file.

Well try this. In the cheats window remove books two and three.
Read book one then buy book two and read it then the same for book three.

No, no I have not, and only made it few days in before deciding to give up on this one. It's just terribly written in my opinion, especially after playing The Redburns.

This is one of my favorite games. But thanks for the recommendation of The Redburns. I will check it out.

 

[MaxTheDark]

This is one of my favorite games.

Guess we have different preferences. This seems like the creator tried to make a sandbox game but couldn't be bothered to actually code all sort of outcomes and possibilities so just slaps your hand when you try to do something he didn't finish.

I...have you actually played adventure games before? Like, at all?

The reason why it feels like an incomplete sandbox game...is because it's not a sandbox game nor was it meant to be. One of the earliest lessons that game developers had was that, sometimes, you can limit or outright sacrifice gameplay if it helps set or develop the characters in a game. It's why cutscenes exist at all.

You are, in effect, doing the equivalent of critizising the intro to Half-life 1 because it's 4 minutes of you being "trapped" in a train while the game takes you through a few panoramic scenes of the place where you were going to be playing in. It sets up a few things, like the fact that the MC is theoretical physicist, works in an underground experimental complex, the people in charge have an AWEFUL safety procedures or records, and the the place is HUGE.

You, on the other hand, would be mad because you weren't shooting people within the first few seconds of starting the game.

It's fine that you don't like it and that this is your opinion but none of it is actually legitimate criticism.
