VN Ren'Py Almost Dead [v0.11 Ch.17] [BadMustard]

[BadMustard]

68 images and 2 animations have been completed so far. The total now is 229 images for this chapter. It was a slow week for rendering for the VN because of Easter and making Easter images for Patrons and SubscribeStar subscribers. I made six total images for Easter.

Stay Safe out there!!

I found a bug

Because of my subpar awesome programming skills, there is a bug in Chapter 5.

Near the end of the chapter, when Yuizumi invites you in for a drink (the very repeatable bug happens if you decline her offer), after she kisses you goodnight, the game just ends (like who would turn her down right), and while this would be okay if there were no other chapters, it's not so good that there are 5 other chapters you may want to read.

Now when I fix this (and I have), there is the possibility that making changes in the earlier chapters could break the save games (because of the 21 Laws of Computer Programming, specifically 9–11).

9) Not until a program has been in production for at least six months will its most harmful error be discovered.
10) Undetectable errors are infinite in variety, in contrast to detectable errors, which by definition are limited.
11) The effort required to correct an error increases exponentially with time.

And since there is that possibility, I might as well go ahead and do the replay gallery entries for the earlier chapters and break them for sure (maybe, I don't know), and since you will have to replay the entire game to unlock the earlier replay chapters, What not do it now? Right?

I just want to let you all know what's going on with the game and what may occur in the next update.

Stay Safe out there.

Last mention of pregnancy was Oct 3, 2021.
Has it been implemented yet and does it show in game?

98 images and 2 animations have been completed so far. The total now is 235 images for this chapter. This was a very good week for rendering, much better than last week for the VN at least. I have also marked out all the replay areas for the first 8 chapters and coded them in to the replay gallery. Now I just have to test them all out and make sure they work correctly and start at a good place and end in a happy place!!
Stay Safe out there!!

So correct me if I'm wrong. Do to current update and coding you believe our saves will be broken with the upcoming update?

Yes, I believe that it might break saved games with the next update (once I get everything implemented I will be testing) also the replay is based on the player playing through the new replay labels to be able to replay them.
If they are broken, you will have to replay.
If they are not broken, you will have to replay to get access to the new replay areas.

And the only reason I am doing this is that the game is broken at chapter 5.

Ok, gotta psych myself up for that then. Nothing against your work, I enjoy it, but last few updates of several games I've played were I've had invested time into have been breaking saves....I know I love to binge read, but starting to be over binged, lol.

Chapter 11 update#5


So far, 124 images and 2 animations have been completed. The total now is 240 images for this chapter (it's getting bigger, that's what she said, too). This was a great week for rendering the VN. I have tested all the replay areas for the first 8 chapters. They all end quite happily, I might add.


Stay Safe out there!!

Chapter 11 WIP (update #6)

So far, 147 images and 3 animations have been completed. The total now is 243 images and animations for this chapter. This was a great week; 25 images and 1 animation were rendered this week alone.

Stay Safe out there!!

Finally got around to playing this update and really disappointed about Sharon. I am hoping something happens that prevents her from getting married. It just felt off especially at my estate? I want to add her to my harem. Yes I am greedy as hell and will never apologize for it!!!!!!! I want Alice and that other girl she mentioned (PeiPei was it?) to join my harem too!!!

Into every life, a little rain must fall!
We will see Alice again in chapter 11, when we "help her" get a girlfriend.

Well not necessarily when you control the narrative. I am hoping that rain fall however happens before Sharon's wedding and interrupts it. I mean it just feels odd that one of the first girls that we interact with and is also on the banner doesn't end up in the harem. Just feels like a weird direction especially since you don't even have the option of accepting her or rejecting her, and before people say 'oh you don't need every girl', like seriously one of the premises of the game has the MC basically collecting all the girls and making a big harem why would I not expect a girl who had main interactions with to not be part of that. Look at Lucy she basically came out of nowhere in this update and in like 5 seconds part of the harem, so why would I not expect Sharon who has been there from the start to not also join. I was seriously waiting for that moment. Still having some hope on that. I also hope that in helping Alice, we get both her and the other girl.

The narrative has already been written, chiseled in stone almost.

It's not about who's on the banner image. Jessica, who is on the banner, but she's never going to be in the harem.
Charlie is not on the banner, but she makes an excellent espresso and was also an instant attraction. Dawn, some people wanted her, but that's not going to happen. Sara is not on the banner, but she did save his life twice. Lucy is not on the banner, but the MC knew her in college, and he was attracted to her then. A NEW girl (chapter 12) is not on the banner (it's a secret (has a connection to him that we find out about) "and in like 5 seconds part of the harem". Sharon gave him a blow job. Sexy as hell is on the banner, but she's not going to be in the harem. YuiZumi is on the banner, but she will become more of a side harem girl (she has her needs too).

Chapter 11 WIP (update #7)
168 images and 4 animations have been completed. The total now is 247 images and animations for this chapter. This was a good week for rendering.
My weekend sucked. I was supposed to be at work for half a day on Saturday, but it turned into a whole day at work, which kind of sucked, but I was able to watch some movies while I did nothing but sit at my desk.
The good news is that it's now Monday morning, and it's a holiday here (I have no idea what they are celebrating), but there is no work today, so I can render all day long today!

Stay safe out there.
