VN Ren'Py Abandoned A.O.A. Academy [Ch.5 Gold] [TLGGAMES]

SanchoMod

Good evening folks. I apologize for the lack of progress updates the last couple of days but a some other VN's I mod received updates and got me off track for a bit. I'm back on it now and this is where I'm at currently and where I hope to complete sometime this weekend:

• Ch 3 & 4 completely reworked after I started Ch 5 and had a brilliant idea on how to make the freeroams even better... you'll get the fruits of that once you see it for yourself.
• Ch 5 is ~75% done but I still need to detail the dynamic ChoiceGuide more thorough (given limited space in the choice buttons).
• Dynamic FreeRoam - Need to finish the few in Ch5. Ch1-4 are near perfection imho so those are done.
• SanchoCheats - this one has given me more than a few fits. Insuring you the purest cheat process has proved to be more coding and more in depth than BaDIK was... it's kinda whack tbh but I'm almost done with it. The outlier according to my notes is to integrate Jenny's routes correctly into the fold and it's hopefully done, but obviously will need to triple-check it.
• SanchoGallery - the gallery is coded 100%, I just need to set the code hooks for Ch 5 into the dialogue scripts. This is the easy part so no biggie.
• Whatever else I'm not thinking of at the moment.

Anyway it's time for a Crown & Coke refill and to get to it. The ribeyes are already marinating for this evening's grill-fest so I'm good to go for a while. I'll keep ya updated and leave you with a few fresh teasers for the helluvit. Regards.

Yay!!!!

 

[Before I Forget]

So, I've updated my "Path Guide" (is this even a thing ) cuz i think that MAYBE... just maybe, missing Jade scene on ch5 won't kill her route... but we can only confirm that on the next chapter

I don't think this is right. Ashley, Jenny and Valery are all seen as the main girls or at least that's how the variables and story look. Each of those 3 routes have their set of compromises. As far as I know you can't have a Ashley/Sung Li route together, you pretty much have to choose as do you with Jenny, Ashley and Val. I wish you can have all three at once but it's impossible.

I don't think this is right

I've tried and it is... I can even upload a save if you want

Ashley, Jenny and Valery are all seen as the main girls

I don't think there's a "main girl", I thought it was Jenny since she is pretty central in everything but in the end it was Reb who got the Christmas Special

As far as I know you can't have a Ashley/Sung Li route together

You got me wrong here, Ash is secondary on Sung Ji route (for now), there's nothing here yet, just like Jade is on Jenny path, the variable is "dAshSungHarem1".

you pretty much have to choose as do you with Jenny, Ashley and Val. I wish you can have all three at once but it's impossible.

Well, you can perfectly get Ash and Val together, for Val just go to Gym (C1), stay downstairs after boutique (C2) and stay at the hotel instead of going back to dorm (C3), for Ashley just "study together" (C1) and you are safe , neither of those event happen simultaneously (Just remember the "bAshLove" [solo] route is a little different than "bAshHarem" route).

I just started playing this game, it looks excellent so far. However, I sense an "Acting Lesson" vibe. Is this game going to be like Acting Lesson which has a tragic ending? Can anyone leak a little bit?

I have the same feeling but as far I can predict this game will have multiple ending with different girls and one or two tragic ending where Mc or his gf dies.

 

[Havik79]

I may cop it for this, but if you have drinking as a hobby, you fucked up.

 

[Deleted member 4374281]

Considering the whole "harem" situation...I don't think it's going to be like Acting Lessons too much. HOWEVER...there's also that argument people are having about it not really being a true harem in that it seems like you are forced to pick between the "suicide squad" vs "power puff girls." That's what I call the options anyway. My MC is named Ahnold. There are no Arnolds in this universe.

Can some characters die? Who knows. Can the MC die? Dude is like some goofy motherfucking farmer given a pistol and being trained by a couple sentences and then set loose in a drama where people are literally trying to kill him and others.

It would REALLY be stupid if the MC didn't have the option of dying. Course it'd be REALLY stupid not to give the MC the common sense to avoid doing something that would result in getting him killed too. All the girls are putting themselves in danger. They kind of have this mentality that they are immortal and that things will work out. Their super power? The unfortunate things that have happened to them in their lives. Clearly that will help them triumph over the unsaid unfortunate things that happened in the lives of the bad guys.

But this is a porn game, right? Sure it's got story. Sure it's got that little intro at the beginning that makes it feel like a high school romance movie.

But in the end...there will be some dark shit. But I don't think that it will be difficult to make decisions to keep people stay alive and squirt the cummies.

My guess? MC dies and becomes Robocop with dick attachment. Saves girls. Mourns that he doesn't have his humanity, but they are still in love with him. He fucks and loves them all. They die. And then the game epilogue shows him sitting on planet earth by himself. He's old and rusting out. Soon he will run out of power and will "die." He remembers Old Town and his father. The memory goes back to the two of them watching TV together. A show whose actress is someone that joined his harem.

"Yo dad. I miss you."

"Yo son. I miss you."

"Gonna be joining you up in heaven dad. Who would have thought I'd be the last man standing huh? Good thing that guy and lady taught me how to take off the safety."

"OMG I know. The fuck were they thinking?"

"Iono. So...I guess this is it. See you soon?"

"Yup. But protip...when you become an angel...it's very different. You know about hentai right?"

"Uh?"

"Yeah...it's like that. You'll have an anime body and look like a 12 year old man! But you'll get to fuck a lot of girls. And knock them up. And you'll probably have super powers or something."

"Whoa."

"Yeah...anyway I'm proud of you son. We'll meet again. But only for a second because the fuckers always kill us dads off."

And then the end...credits...

And one final scene...

Introduction to Fall of Angels

 

[Havik79]

Am I missing something, didn't um Kale or whatever his name is said to Jenny he wanted her to get them into kill Adam, so now why does it have to be us do it.

 

[Cool'Thulhu]

Well, she refused to help them (cuz of Rebecca ), now the offer is only to MC

 

[Sancho1969]

You got me wrong here, Ash is secondary on Sung Ji route (for now), there's nothing here yet, just like Jade is on Jenny path, the variable is "dAshSungHarem1".

The above is correct... and one of the few sources of my misery coding the route cheats in the mod. But I figured the solution although it's a tad on the complex side (since Ash can only be involved AFTER solidifying Sung's full route (Sung2)). This (among other routes besides this one) made the toggling of routes in the cheat a rather rocket science math scenario on my end... calculating which toggles can be on/off at any one given moment depending on which routes the player clicks on in combination. Ugh.

Just another courtesy post. Another bug if you don't have it listed on your end.

Aurora's phone message in Ch5 doesn't ever clear due to improper variable setting as noted in the third line below:

label AuroraMsg4_event :
    $phone_too = "Aurora"
    $bAuroraMsg3Read = True  # Incorrect variable changed. This should be bAuroraMsg4Read
    ...

I'm correcting it in the mod since it borks my FreeRoam guide fwiw.

 

[Spatenklopper]

As it turns out we will need the Sancho Mod to be able to play a bug-free version, since the dev is unfortunately not making any corrections.
A big THANK YOU for doing the work to give us the best possible experience in the game!

Fuck me, it gets worse. All of Valery's messages are fucked up. There's two of them possible currently and both have incorrect flags which make them always appear as "read" even when they haven't.

if bPhoneValeryMsg2 == True :
    $yalpos += 0.05
    if bPhoneValeryMsg2 == False :  # Wrong variable used in condition, should be bValeryMsg2Read
    ...

if bPhoneValeryMsg1 == True :
    $yalpos += 0.05
    if bPhoneValeryMsg1 == False :  # Wrong variable used in conditional, should be bValeryMsg1Read
    ...

 

[trauts]

ummm..... not really an harem
seem more like individual paths (multiple play through)
the thing with this type of VN/games, it's gonna be hard to remember all the choices selected previously, with so many branches

Hi Everyone,

I searched a bit at the topics, but I was not able to find it.

I am playing on a 1440p monitor and the performance is really laggy in window mode, but the full screen works fine. Are there any configurations that I can apply to fix that? If I drag the same instance to my 1080p monitor, the issue does not happen.

Any clues?

Usually it's the opposite tbh on a PC platform. Windowed mode generally puts less stress on the GPU than FS native especially with greater than 1080p natives. So, are you on PC? If so what is your monitor's native resolution? If both answers are yes and 1440p respectively then verify that your secondary GPU (not the integrated one if so equipped) is being used in windowed mode. It could be that your secondary is being used in FS and not in windowed mode. It's rare but I've seen it before. I realize I'm pointing various things out but more detailed info is the case otherwise we're throwing darts at the issue and seeing what sticks so to speak.

Of course it is by simple definition:
" a harem is a part of a house set apart for women and from which nonfamily males are excluded "
A harem has never meant "every damn woman on the face of the planet".
Gotta keep those expectations in check bud.

Thanks for the reply dude.

What you said makes sense and made me think a little bit more. I went into the NVIDIA control panel and I have added the game .exe to the 3D configurations. This has completely solved the problem.

Thanks for the insight!

Note that you do NOT necessarily have to add every RenPy title you play tbh. I've only added maybe 4 or so in the mass amount of titles I've messed with. It's rare that you should have to do this. Honestly this title triggers my NControl automatically but different setups, etc can make a difference. Point being don't think you need to add all other titles in the future, just add the ones that aren't triggering your GPU automatically and you'll have a much less cluttered control panel setup file (every reduction of processing power and memory saved is something). Regards.

Edit: Another little tip, keep this little wonder from Nvidia in your taskbar, it'll light up when your GPU is being used and greyed-out when dormant:

Specifically it's the Nvidia GPU Activity monitor.

 

[Thony]

Should I be playing the Gold version or the Beta version?
