Mod Ren'Py Adam and Gaia : THXE [R4 C] [Doomed City]

[Epadder]

I am actually really excited try this further. I enjoy the original, and some of the changes you stated sound amazing, more emphasis on management, more rpg elements, rad, and the change from real porn, and hentai to pure hentai? Even more rad, the blend in the original always seemed corny, like the non human charecters were completely pointless and the game expected you to just kill them all off.

However, I have started to play it and something Ive noticed off the bat. Maybe its just my pc, but the image transitions while navigating the UI seems to make it lag. It has to load the image before youre able to actually move locations. Since it takes a few miliseconds to load, I found myself having to click the UI, two sometimes 3 times depending on rather or not I moused over any other locations before hand or not.

The design looks cool, but the delay will likely get old really fast. So is it possible to have the game prioritize the click over the image loads? If so than the issue should take care of itself and not cause you to change it, or rob the people who dont have the issue of the cool image changes.

I tried messing with the graphics options, honestly some tooltips telling you what shit does would be cool. I saw no difference in my UI issue.

Well glad you are looking forward to the upcoming changes, as for your current UI issue it's a problem that I couldn't find a way to resolve it completely.

So I have just removed the image transition when you mouse over a location, if you want to continue playing with the current version go to Config > Text > Skip > Transitions.

It does disable all the transitions everywhere so even in scenes you will lose any fade/dissolve transitions, but it will remove that interface lag which is probably more annoying...

I guess when I first tested it... I got used to the momentary lag and just timed my clicks around it so I didn't really notice it until people gave me feedback on it being an issue... heh.

Config > Visuals > Performance Mode > Off might give some people some better frame rates/responsiveness in general...

Essentially Ren'py tries to limit the resources it uses during normal VN gameplay, but when you need a higher frame rate for a transition or a faster image load it can take a bit longer for Ren'py to give back the resources it needs to do that smoothly.

I will try and add some tooltips to the config screen eventually though, just to more thoroughly explain what each option does.

went to plains > encountered girl > -_- please update the OP to include that this mod version of the games is censored (yes, despite what some people may believe this mosaic pixelation actually is, in fact, an actual form of censorship).

Adam and Gaia Turbo Hyper Extreme Censored Edition*

i don't exactly like seeing censored porn or playing censored porn games.

Sorry that the description wasn't obvious enough, if anyone misunderstands in the future... I can't help you.

I would think this would also be clear, I switched the entire game to Hentai to provide consistency of artwork between humans and monsters. Hentai games made in Japan will follow the law that forces them to implement mosaic censorship, the amount of games that are then brought to the west and are decensored is small in comparison to the amount that do not make it here. So a sacrifice has to be made to have access to a larger pool of images.

I guess personally when I grew up watching hentai, most companies didn't bother decensoring it for a western audience... so the mosaic censorship doesn't bother me. I just got used to it... *shrug*

Sorry if it was asked before, didnt found about this in the OP. If i start the game now with this mod, and its get an update (the mod) i just have to reapply the mod and i can continue without having to restart? Or im better off waiting till the next update. Thanks in advance for the answer!

The 'mod' is a standalone Ren'py version of Adam and Gaia, so don't have to apply it to anything.

At the time there weren't a lot of 'unofficial' ports or remakes of games that were in the Game section... and honestly you don't have to go through as many hoops to post in this section... so it ended up living here.

As for waiting or not it's up to you.

I've been doing my best to make sure saves stay compatible at least for the Generations Update, I don't want to make people restart often if I can avoid it.

I would say at this point though, it might be better to wait as you should have a more complete experience with a fresh game. The Generations update feels very different from the Foundation version that is currently shared atm.

Hello everyone, time to report on how things are going. They are going okay, but I didn't have the time to really sort out Venus' replacement daughters yet.

Otherwise I did manage to wrap up the pregnant scene for the Sultry daughters and I finished writing the lead-in and foreplay for the Serene personality with the variations based up the sister's personality.

So making progress, just going to take more time for everything to be wrapped up.

I will say that by doing the Serene Threesome Foreplay section I do have a better grasp on the time involved to do that, it's likely to be very near the end of the month before I can wrap that up. I may be able to squeeze in some work on the bedroom scenes that need to be done at the same time... they are a little easier to write for me.

When I do get done though and have a build I can share, I will be selecting and messaging a few people and to look at the work so far and give me feedback and hopefully find any bugs. While that process is going on I will be working on fixing any reported issues and adding the sex sfx/sex vocals/music to polish the release up.

With that done I will then release it to everyone else, I will say that depending on how busy I get though that it is likely to be March before the release will make it to everyone though.

I will be back on the 24th though to let you know how things are going, until then everyone reading this take care.

Nice game. Was hoping it'd be animated. Do you have plans to add animated scenes? It's ok if you don't.

Nice game. Was hoping it'd be animated. Do you have plans to add animated scenes? It's ok if you don't.

Not at the moment, early on I considered it but I decided against it.

1.) Sort of like the mosaics thing, if I limited myself to animated scenes only then my pool to draw from becomes sort of limited if my source of images are games.

2.) Consistency, if I allow both animated and non-animated mixing it can be a little strange... although I guess quite a few games do it. *shrug*

3.) Also Consistency in a different way, if I used animated scenes from Hentai based on the same games... the animation/art quality/style is (usually) inconsistent with the original version... so that could be a bit weird.

4.) Ren'py doesn't natively support GIF which is the most common format to find the animations in... so would need to convert them to WEBM. So a lot of extra work to import them in.

So it's not very likely that I will do it... maybe I could think of a way to add in support for WEBM files for the generated daughters/random encounters, but I won't be adding those files in myself anytime soon.

For people who are new, when the Generations Update comes out the various daughters that are born and the random human girls you can meet in the various locations are able to be expanded without touching the code. You will just have to follow a naming convention(format) and the game will automatically account for them.

Daughter Pools will be refreshed every time the game loads and Encounter Pools refresh once you've encountered all the available for an area.

well...thanks for updating the OP... didn't need to be a dick about it though as tagging the thread properly as censored would've sufficed.

"I just got used to it..."

and that's you. not everyone likes or just "gets used to it" when it comes to censorship.

me, i rather strongly oppose censorship of any kind as it's little more than a means of controlling what people can or can't view that is born of stupidity.

Time for another update on how things are going.

I managed to finish writing all the variants of the Serene personality's threesome scenes and am almost finished with selecting the replacements needed for Venus' daughter pool.

So things are progressing along, just slower than I may have hoped...

Hopefully by the next update I will at least be finished with all the variants of the Adventurous personality's threesome scenes.

Until next time in two weeks, everyone take care and will update you more then.

I don't know if someone has already asked but do you intend to upload this version to Gamcore or other browser hosts? Not that I think it's necessary, it's just that I first found the original version there and I think it would be interesting if more people find out this project

F95 is really the only place I'm even somewhat active on, so don't know that I will want to have to manage throwing it other places myself...

Also at this point don't see the purpose in spreading this version... after the Generations Update comes out if anyone is active on any other forums and wants to ask me if it's alright to post it there... then hit me up after it's been out for a few weeks... going to try and make sure there are less bugs that slip through this time, but never know. *sigh*

I for sure don't have the time to maintain multiple threads on multiple sites if I also need to distribute patches.

(Side note I just updated my signature which more accurately reflects everything I'm working on )

Time for another update on how things are going.

I managed to finish writing all the variants of the Adventurous personality's threesome scenes and I did some bug fixing/backend coding work.

So in the home stretch to finish all the threesome scenes, should be done with all those scenes by the next report.

Although speaking of bug fixing... If some people who would be interested in testing the build after the writing is done would reply here I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'd like to get a build that is a bit more tested this time than having to put patch after patch out for everyone to have to deal with.

Also if anyone would be willing to help with proofreading through all the scenes, let me know.

Until next time in two weeks, everyone take care and will update you more then.

Um, the original game has 25GB of content but this has only... 1.38GB. Am i missing something?

Most of the size from the original comes from high quality GIFs...

This version is more of a recreation than a direct modification and thus not every bit of content is integrated... in the Foundation version the daughters are not integrated as interactive characters, so that saved on size.

Also the images are webp and not lossless png, to keep the size in-check.

The Foundation version has:
Named 'matron' characters integrated (Matriarch/Broodmother) (Except Snake/Spider characters from the original)
A new matron and questline that was not in the original.
Battle system with victory scenes that include Human/Sea Creature/Undead/Harpy/Slime/Dryad/Snake girls.
One random encounter with a human girl.
One random encounter with a cow girl.

Ah, i see. Alright. Thank you for clarifying.

How do I equip things ? Or upgrade base?

How do I equip things ? Or upgrade base?

Equipment is automatically switched in the current version, if you come across something better it just equips itself. A working inventory system has been added to the next version though.

Ranged/Melee weapons also have no difference in the current version, but I restored the ranged weapons as a separate weapon type and gave them a different purpose in combat.

A button will appear under the menu or within the menu if you have the required materials to upgrade.
