Ren'Py Academy34 [v0.22.1.3 Public] [Young & Naughty]

I almost 100% the game but I lost my save and I am too lazy to go through them again

When you start a new game, there's an option to skip straight to new content, which will unlock most of the routes and gallery. You can also just unlock the entire gallery through the settings menu, there's a button at the bottom left. No need to replay anything.

Man last time I played was the D.VA/Sombra update... what happened to their designs and name? Copyright? They look so bland.

Well, the only character that changed is Sombra, and even then we will get back to her design to bring her closer to the original look, because we took it step too far. Other than that, we didn't do any significant changes ever since. The reason for changes is the fact that our game grew too big to be comfortable with using someone else's IP, so to avoid a potential lawsuit we made small tweaks here and there, and changed the names.

As I said, Reina's (Sombra) design will get adjusted, so it's won't be a completely new character anymore, and the rest of the designs will be kept as close to the original as possible. Name's though will stay as they are, but we are adding an option to change any name yourself.

The devs just used a text editor to change the character names.
Usually this isn't a problem, but when someones name is also a regular word... (During the first PE scene) View attachment 3242593

Yup, we did exactly that. There's like 500+ pages of story script in our game, trying to go through manually would have taken as forever and more. We tried to fix all of those mistakes before releasing, but some still slipped through. Thanks for pointing it out!

i have yet to play this update but just looking at this hurts. the main character doesn't look like he fits in with the redesign. if he was at least redesigned to this new art style it would be easier to overlook the drastic change but currently he looks like a 2d character interacting with a 2.5d character. it's just uncomfortable to look at.

The biggest problem is that the rest of the characters is drawn in much higher resolution, since we will be bringing our game to a proper FullHD. He will be updated or at least upscaled, and characters like Reina, whom new design is using completely new artstyle will get adjusted to fit in a bit more. We're working on solving this problem, so don't worry.

 

[Young_Naughty]

The good thing (or bad, depending on how you view it) is that Sombra and Phara are the only ones in a different art style so far.

Pharah has already been updated to fit better with the old art style. Sombra will also get adjusted as I pointed in previous replies. Our first few redesigns went rocky, because we didn't have a pre-existing pipeline when it comes to their creation, but from now on it should look more more fitting, example below.

MC is still slightly less sharp in comparison, but we'll upscale his sprites asap.

 

[molitar]

you are aware of the reasons involving the art style change, right?

No I am not but is that bottom picture the new art style is what I want to know because if so than the game is a no for me. That is just awful.

the reason the art style and names were changed so dramatically was to avoid any legal trouble with Blizzard and so changes had to be made to ensure the game wouldn't be in trouble of being removed

well change sucks.. they look like they are all sad now.. the hair on Reina.. uggh...

1. New art all look like they lost confidence in themselves their expressions with down cast eyes (I'm shy and ugly emotion on them. Pharah no longer looks up with confidence but downwards with no confidence.)

2. Pharah hair just looks better overall but Reina turned into some junk punkster with bright purple awful hair do. So now she is a non-confident punk girl. She lost her looking up with confidence and a bit of smugness.

Enough change would of been to get rid of the chopped hair do and changed the style to regular long hair that is Black and Blue, wavy, and flowing. But that change killed the entire game for me she was one of my favorite girls but now I can't stand to look at her.

I want to say that this comment hasn't aged well.

I literally replied to you few comments above, bottom pic (the one with purple hair) is the old artstyle. The one at the top, with blue hair, is the one currently in game.

Feel free to elaborate, otherwise we wouldn't be able to fix our game's problems.

Just to make sure you didn't miss our response — the in the picture below the purple-haired girl on the left is Reina's old sprite, and the blue-haired version on the right is the new one. Reina will get another visual rework in 2024 to make sure her sprite will fit in better with the existing Academy34 artstyle.

The new ones look really good.
My gripe with the new sombra never was with the designitself but the art style clash and the new one looks perfecty aligne with the game art style

YUN, EPILOGUE — $2 RELEASE​

Ah, Winter Holidays...

The time of magic, the time of miracles and cute little presents. It's the time when we all can get that small little bit of happiness to get us going, especially nowadays, with the world seemingly losing its mind and plunging into neverending chaos. We know full well how tough it might be, when you barely scraping remaining bits of your sanity just to get whatever task you have done. It's never easy, but it doesn't have to be this hard.

We all need a little rest, to breath out and relax. To let ourselves indulge in whatever things bring us joy.

Consider this to be our Christmas Present to You, the best community we could have ever wished for, and let it be an entryway into the best holiday seasons you ever had!

Your favorite meteorologist, Yun, is back with so, so many new scenes — four in total! After many months of being teased with those thirsty dialogue options that lead nowhere, you can finally use every single one of them, with each leading to a unique scenario. And don't worry, you can try all of them, as well as get a pleasant surprise for being so bold as to ask her out directly. After finishing Yun's route, just talk to her in the Academy corridor and pick whichever option you find the most appealing.

On top of that, later in January we will release our first ever set of proper,

, that will bring these scenes in motion! By supporting this release you allow us to fund our efforts to animate as much of our game's content as possible, and, to be completely honest, it's does cost a f**king lot. So, please, if you want to see our game getting the treatment it deserves, be sure to play this update now! Every cent we get goes towards funding this project, and we hope that throughout the year we managed to prove just how much effort we put into this work, with SEVENTEEN releases in 2023 alone!

Looking at it from the outside, I appreciate Young being so involved with a group that is essentially enjoying the hard work for free. I just would like to know if there is going to be any content with Ana Amari. Personally I'd like to see older Ana, but any would be appreciated.
That said I'm going to hop over and at least contribute a little. Thanks for the hard work.

Hey, thank you for kind words! Sometimes it takes a lot out of me, but hey, our game got where it's at thanks to some great feedback this community provided. In regard to Ana: She'll be getting a proper update early this year, after Ava (Dva) and Blaze (OC).

Ok so how are the plans for the reworks on Sraphina and Sonya? I remember it was mentioned that you wanted to rework them since they were the frist done and were way more simple than the rest.
On a second note:
