Ren'Py Academy34 [v0.30.2.2 Public] [Young & Naughty]

when Ashe?

Honestly they seriously need to work on their current roster for a bit.
(Ashe would be nice tho, eventually)

Mercy isn't even down to a single lewd act...

Should probably compile how far each route has gone and at least bring them all to a single sex scene first. Cuz some routes are hella long compared to others atm.

We don't want to compromise quality just to push a sex scene that won't make any sense story-wise. Seraphina is going to get more content starting next year though!

A figurine, but yes.

when Ashe?

Once we'll have time to expand the roster... Ashe, Juno and Junker Queen would be our first picks for sure.

We want to polish up the game before we start adding even more characters. The better the main gameplay works the better the overall route expereince will be.

MC's Room Overhaul — $10 Release​

Chat, it's actually real! The Overhaul Update is finally here!

After literal months of bashing our heads against the wall, fighting with the engine, optimizing, wading through old code, and then real life sickness, we made it. Our first, proper Overhaul Update is finished, and we can proudly say that it's the single biggest content expansion we’ve ever released. As the name suggests, it brings not only the first reworked location, but also a brand-new random event system, collectable trophies, tons of new interactions, post-route content for existing characters, and a ton of secrets for you to find!

LIST OF MAJOR CHANGES AND ADDITIONS​

If you would like to know more about this update, we suggest checking out the original post for the full breakdown.

• Overhaul of the MC's bedroom location. Both visually, and gameplay-wise.
• Random Event system, alongside tons of possible random encounters in MC's new room.
• New post-route content for Kamilah.
• New post-route content for Sonya.
• New post-route content for (drum roll) Reina.
• New secrets to find.
• Clyde is added as an interactive character.
• Implemented Trophy system, allowing player to earn and display trophies for completing certain storylines.
• Two third's of our game's code has been rewritten, because turns out updating locations with new systems is far more problematic than we thought.
• Implemented a dynamic sprite lighting system. Doesn't change much for you, but makes our artists' lives hell of a lot easier.

By supporting this release, you help us sustain monthly updates and never-ending content stream of pure spice! We are incredibly grateful for your contribution and will do our absolute best to make sure you'll get your money's worth!

I know how to work them into the story. Ashe is Clyde's 3rd cousin whose family sent her there because she was getting into too much trouble, Juno is the daughter of Mei's friend who always called Mei her auntie, and Junker Queen is a teacher transferring from Australia to add a broader view of the world

I absolutely agree, what I'm trying to say is that adding even more characters (like Ashe) when some aren't even up to sex in a porn game is a bad idea. Also not trying to push Mercy sex insta, just saying that it'd make sense to me to focus on Mercy or Symmetra or others who aren't even up to sex and not add more to Sombra, Dva, Tracer, Brig, Mei and so on for the time being (don't mean ever, just for now). What I meant by making a roster chart was to make sure everyone who's in the game gets at least up to sex before doing a billion extra scenes (which are nice). A chart would also make it easier to visually track how much each route is in to make sure ya'll don't get tunnel visioned at some point.

Absolutely above all take your time tho, the quality is paramount and makes this game infinitely more enjoyable than 99% of other porn games.

Extra: If you're doing spy Mercy make use of the xray phone, it's such a forgotten mechanic.

Oh yeah, that makes sense, we don't plan to extend the roster like SOON soon. We agree, that getting to at least the point of first sexual encounter for every existing storyline is the base line before introducing other characters.

Unfortunately, as we found out during all the years of development, focusing on one character is bad for the business side of things, so we have to always alternate between characters when releasing. We understand that this is in no way perfect, but it gives us the opportunity to work on the game at a very good pace and not always worry we won't have enough to pay everyone's salary (Our team is 10+ members and they all depend on this game as their main source of income).

We know it's underwhelming right now to go through Seraphina's route only to see the story is just getting started, but in the long run this approach will let us make a better game.

On the topic of x-ray, it's a forgotten mechanic for 3 reasons:
1. Patreon's rules are very strict about consent, and x-ray is just too much of an edge case for our taste to keep it.
2. It's a very old mechanic that doesn't really work in tandem with story, which we're best at. You just go through the whole Academy in one day, get all the x-rays (that are just static images without any actual character interaction) and then never open it up again.
3. We are updating all the backgrounds (therefore all the characters and their sprites are getting redrawn/replaced/repurposed), and instead of x-rays you are now getting random events that do the same thing as x-ray (content through exploration), but much better, since, for example, in MC's Room Overhaul instead of just getting 2-3 pictures of naked ladies you get 2-3 full-fledged sex scenes with dialogues and even changes for when you do them a second time. And they happen naturally as you play, and not just as a content dump.

So yeah, going forward, we will focus more on doing meaningful exploration, add actual side quests and work on making Academy feel more alive. Sadly, we don't really see a way for x-ray to tag along for this ride.

Yet another massive L for Patreon holy (understandable from your side though). As a spy gadget you can get pretty creative with xrays, from finding hidden weapons on people to the hidden jammers that were already in Sombra's story, you could also take it the resident evil route with tracing wires.

Also funnily since you were mentioning going around in one day, xray just doesn't work in the medbay xd.

P.S.Mercy's just the most egregious example because she's basically at 0 and an ow poster girl (hence why I mentioned her several times, the intent wasn't to push her). I really liked how Symm and Kiriko started but they just kinda hang.
