VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.211] [Lust & Passion]

[ihl86]

The only way it would work, is if you had a totally different script / story / plot, I am sure you are able to get all same models from the marketplaces, but also still have similar scenes that you enjoy but but within different plot, that would be your work an not what is being copied, to make it 100% the same, same scenes, same layout, same story, you do need need permission, but, change the plot and make it your own, for example, similar story, same models if they are within the marketplace but within a cyberpunk future style game, that is a new story then, that be yours and you don't need permission as it won't be the same as the original

I think you go a little too far with how much you are allowed to be similar to the story.
It's not like a mother that is a teacher in current times is such an original story that anyone could have a claim on that.
And why would someone make the same scenes. If they would make the game and "continue" the story it would not be content already existing.
I am not an expert, not even a novice in copyright laws, I'm just talking here from a common sense point of view.
However, since everybody is from a different country, where would one even be sued? What laws should apply? Everything is complicated. Also, with other type of products, I know you need a patent, to be able to claim that noone else does the same thing. Not sure how much of that applies to this type of content.

there are lots of other good games out there, same corruption genre. Free pass is even better to me. Sophia is not the prettiest milf. Anyway it won't be so hard, maybe not the same detailed lighting but free pass or Ms.Denvers lighting is good enough. I don't even care about this game anymore right now as other games i like are also on hiatus i just came by to visit. It won't be that hard really.

I got bored of free pass pretty soon. Don't really know in what state it is right now.
Ms. Denvers is very early in development and from what I remember also doesn't have fast development time.
Sophia is surely not the prettiest but for me, she is the sexiest for this type of content. She just has a face that screams corruption game to me.
Also, there aren't that many good corruption games out there. Most are either too fast, or have bad graphics, or are rpgm which is a chore in itself to play.


If this game was so common/average/can find a lot of other games like this it wouldn't have so many people on its thread. If the developer wasn't so ..., it would also have a lot more supporters, I am sure.

I can't help finding that part funny. You want to change stuff from a bar to another one. What for? What difference will it make to the work that needs to be done?

I just talked about the only dev phase of AWAM I know.

You basically answered your question with this. He's not giving you much insight with the way he wants you to work on the project from what it looks like, or am I wrong? If you were to do your part much earlier, you'd have a much better view at how little is done over time, aka L&P getting slower and slower, which he obviously would never admit. Surely he doesn't contact you right after the photoshop part is done so you have enough time to finish your part during the Programming&Translation phase, right? That's what I mean when I talk about a terrible workflow. One would think that after 6 years these processes were somewhat optimized.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't that exactly the outcome here? Why do you have to wait till the very end for him to let you update Gallery&Co, and why does it seem like he's waiting till last minute to get you on board? This whole working process just seems flawed and causes more delay than anything. I'm not a programmer and so I don't know how much time you spend on your part, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here. It all comes down to L&P treating his project like fort-knox so nobody can ever see that what's going on behind closed curtains is an absolute shitshow. The only proof we have of that is the constant slowdown of development. I mean, just look at the current year. So far there's been 2 updates, 1 of which started development at the end of 2022 even.

You go much further than my point. People tends to think that Renpy is just some Powerpoint. You put 2 images and 3 dialog lines and it's ok. In a way, it's true but when you really do thing everything always takes more time than expected. And it seems difficult to understand it without trying it.

I would be curious to have the point of view of people who make the fan art games here.

Can't argue with that except that things are getting slower, which after 6 years of doing it one would think it's the other way around as normally humans become faster with more experience and the skills that come with it. Or, as mentioned, a more optimized workflow atleast. But not so with L&P.

Edit: Just to be clear, I certainly do NOT blame you for anything.

Yeah, we know you're doing your best Bibifoc!

ofcourse, not the same exact scene and plot wtf, only sophia will be the same, you can tone down the height and and big boobs as well. Just so this game could end and we finally get to the ntr part.

You can't really do the gallery part until the programming is done.
The gallery needs to reference a part of the game. If that is not done, what is the gallery supposed to reference?

I don't think L&P plans to develop slower and slower. I think he is just very poor at managing his time. I think he also doesn't really respect his supporters too much (this is just my feeling, can't really know for sure).
I want to say though, as a perfectionist myself, that sometimes, it can take an insane amount of time to get everything just the way you want it.
Also, since this is a creative process, sometimes maybe inspiration just doesn't strike. Maybe he is the type of person to just not do something if he isn't feeling the creative process. Of course he can't say that, so he finds other excuses.

I mean, just look at George R.R. Martin. He is just L&P on the highest scale possible. Had success with his books. Each novel took longer and longer to write. Four or five years ago he said book 6 was 70-80 % complete but somehow it's still not done. Winds of winter has now been started 12 years ago or something and still isn't done. He gains nothing by postponing the release date, he just isn't capable to do it faster.

I think people just attribute too much malicious intent to someone who just isn't good at the project management part. At least AWAM's story is something that if it never finishes it's not the worst thing in the world. Maybe just a few more blue balls than normal. If GRRM dies before finishing the Song of Ice and Fire series... That's a lot worse. And pretty likely at this point in time.

Just a day or 2 more and all we will see is hero & spoiler messages and pranks being spamed.. we are entering begging season. This is not a drill. Keep focused people.

LP is too fucking slowww

True ,
With this speed we can never see Sophia Sex Scene

 

[SexyShelly]

ofcourse, not the same exact scene and plot wtf, only sophia will be the same, you can tone down the height and and big boobs as well. Just so this game could end and we finally get to the ntr part.

Isn't Sophia on Blender marketplace? as I am sure I seen her on there, if you are able to get her, you are able use her how you feel you like, you don't permission, if your going to make the game for just for future content and not from the beginning then your okay

Just, if you wanted to remake it from the start of the game, then, would be better to ask the dev for permission

The backgrounds, I am not sure if the dev made them or if you are able to buy them, if you are able to buy them, again, you have no issue

There are two fan made games for A Wife & Mother, one with Dylan and one with Aiden, I am guessing here, but, It may look like all the content is purchasable, for them to make a fan made ones, you could always go down that route

What you say doesn't really apply here. I don't really need insight. I just have to add the new scene (or more if lucky ) in the gallery.

In the most basic gallery possible, you have to find the beginning of the scene and all exit points possible and add a line of code in each of these endpoints. In AWAM I make it a little more complex by removing useless menu/choices only in the replay. So I also need to add or alter some code in the menus.

To do this, I need the final script. I need the menu/choices to be placed, I need the scenes exit points to be placed. I need the scenes finished. Maybe he could send me the script just after the P&T (I don't have it right now but I can't do anything until tonight) but that means we'd have to merge my work and his fixes. It's possible but for what gain? Not much I think.

In my mind, the way we work for the testing phase is ok. If we talk about other phases, it would be something else (the translation for example).

Now the gallery don't take that much time (around one hour maybe a bit more). There is the testing phase where I play the update and review the code (fixing L&P's bad habits ). It takes more time.

In this specific update, we'll have to fix some problems from the previous one. It could have been done earlier, that's for sure, but it wasn't.

And of course we need to sync. We are in the same timezone but L&P is quite a night owl.

Edit: Just to be clear, I certainly do NOT blame you for anything.

I never thought the contrary... At least I hoped

But reading that the only phase where I do something is just a trap for patrons was a bit annoying (first thing I read in the morning). Especialy knowing it wasn't the usual troll.

 

[Bibifoc]

Haha, I was just joking. I never knew it actually happened before. Kind of not surprising at the same time.

It wasn't really bad. It was just the first time my name was mentionned while L&P was waiting for me on the testing phase. There were some pitchforks things... for joking... I guess

that fan made render/graphic is too bad that's why i said good quality at least on the level of free pass. She looks like angry witch on that fan made hahaha

Did Bibifoc become like Onyxdime with icstor?

So... do you dare make a guess for it to be complete? Maybe tomorrow?

 

[rAmSiMaL]

Just a day or 2 more and all we will see is hero & spoiler messages and pranks being spamed.. we are entering begging season. This is not a drill. Keep focused people.

That’s why you should stay away from this thread for a couple of days from the moment the new update is released

 

[Bibifoc]

Did Bibifoc become like Onyxdime with icstor?

A hint for me perhaps?

 

[Bibifoc]

So... do you dare make a guess for it to be complete? Maybe tomorrow?

I need to have an idea of when I'm going to receive the final script first.

As the model L&P used is a ready made asset (used to be on daz store no on the creators website itself:

) he wasn't inspired by any real life people. He saw a 3d model he liked and used it for his VN.
Who inspired the person/people that made the 3d model in the first place ? You could ask them but probably no one in particular.
