VN Ren'Py Alpha Omega [v0.4.2] [EzyGames]

[sanmal]

By your own logic that 'we're not here for that' fuckfest games would be topping best rating charts, which is not the case at all. Maybe admit that its you, sanmal, that doesn't like story rich games and not the general audience.

The main part of the population is dependent on the opinions of others and is not able to think with their own heads. Focus on the number of downloads with an independent/anonimous choice, and not on the proposed top with a rating.
My first message was addressed to the author, because most of these unique games are abandoned. Let him figure out the reasons. I'm not interested in discussing something about the rating.

Ezykeyal Episode 2 is massive improvement to Episode 1 in terms of it being more interesting. A part of the reason is the fight minigames. That was good!

I honestly think 6 fighting styles is too many permutations with regards to development time. And I also think your game is one of the better looking daz3d renpy game I've seen.

I want to say that I'm worried the development time per chapter will take a long time due to the 2 things above. As a consumer, I much rather sacrifice complexity and picture prettiness if I can get more frequent updates.

However, I do wish the route you decided to take with this game would nets you at least 200 or so regular patrons.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Although I agree it does add some time to development, in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have mattered if I forced a single grappling and standup style, or let you choose between a few more different styles as it currently is. If I gave you one of each (grappling and standup, which would be the minimum), I'd have to give enough moves to make it interesting and likely end up with the same amount of moves as if you had 4 more styles anyway. The whole system is already made and all I need to do for future fights is make a new render set with a different opponent. That's kind of annoying, but that's the price I have to pay making a still-render based game.

Adding no fight to an episode release, saves me about 2 weeks in total which is not all that much overall.

I don't wish to spoil much, but the different styles also play a crucial role for story/character development and LI's involved with the various training sessions and the classmates.

This game is so awesome, a hidden gem

Howdy Developer;

Look buddy, like it or not / read it or not I'm gonna give you few free advices.

1- Add his sister... I mean his "childhood friend" to the list of "interactable" characters list and make her one of long term interactable character (major NPC).

2- You need to reduce speed of Mini games (QTE events or whatever); I see 8 sticks all at once, Renpy doesn't designed for such speeds IMHO. Don't be afraid and reduce its speed to reasonable levels, it is not an Online / PvP game.

3- I'm not an english or yankee, so, did not understand what da' hell London gal saying. Don't be afraid to increase understandability of her speech (text).

TL;DR:
As a redneck / hillbilly type of person, I don't like playing as coloured people but you managed to create -more or less- some degree of bond between us. And I really liked how Natasha womanhandle our MC, I believe they are gonna' marry. 8D

 

[Gab1]

Dude, what a nice game.

First, Thanks for makin a afro american protagonist, there were white protagonists, asian protagonists, latin protagonist but i hadnt find a avn with a black protagonist until now and i am really grateful, not only that, your MC is really likeable too.

The Li are really interesting too, i love Natasha and came to love Lily too, but i felt like you have too little time for the others Li, specially the music's chick, i really would have like some time with her.

About Rosie and Alexa, i still need to get use to but i dont hate their designes

Now, i enjoy the plot twist at the end of chapter 2, and by enjoying i mean that i really want to know what happen and who we have to kill because of it.

And the fight game is fun, but like someone said up there, i hope i wont become too much work.

Still, i need to say this, it felt a little rushed, really good narrative and really good dialogues but way too fast pace, i wont say to redo it, i am not crazy but i would advice to take your time with the story, i mean your character are interesting and entretaining give them more time.

I said that but my experience was really great, i hope you would continue with this proyect and i hope you feel satisfied a the end.

Hello!
Attached a preview of a younger Alexa. As mentioned several dev-logs earlier, we'll dive into the past of both coaches and learn more about them. These scenes will provide you with crucial information, that will help you decide on some very important choices later on.

Last week I was away for work most days, so I didn't get a lot done unfortunately. I did a lot of scene work before that though, and I'm trying to finish that this weekend. I had to set up several new environments for several scenes, which took a bit of time, but it looks pretty cool!

Despite the many things I warned about very clearly at the start of the game, I failed to mention (what I think could be) very important. I don't know why I didn't think to put it in before, as the type of content was already written a long time ago.

There will be certain scenes that contain self-harm and sexual assault, and this could be a sensitive point for some. So, I decided to implement a function that allows you to bypass the scenes where I graphically depict these very things. As I didn't warn you about this before, I think it's only fair I do so, without mercifully shoving scenes of this nature in your face (surprise mf!).

Once episode 3 is in your hands and start it up for the first time, you'll be presented with a choice that needs to be made. A choice to enable or disable these scenes. This choice can later be changed in the preferences menu.

If you choose to disable the sensitive scenes, you'll be presented with a non visual version and light description of the scene, so you know it has happened, but without the visuals. If they're enabled, you'll see all the renders as per normal, but they're not for the faint hearted.

Feel free to discuss!

Until the next dev-log,

Ezy

Hello!

This'll probably be the shortest dev-log I've ever written. No development of new complex systems, no more massive upgrades, just simply scene rendering. It's moving along quite nicely.

I did unfortunately have a setback with the MC's skin upgrades as they wouldn't play nice in the further away renders. For some reason, the renderer would just blur out too much of the detail and he started to look weirdly painted. I had to revert back to the Episode 2 version, which I think still looks pretty decent anyway.

That's it for now I guess, and sorry I couldn't say anything more interesting. Everything is very well established and rather smooth sailing! There will be a few new additions outside of the story which are scheduled for a little later, but for now I'll continue the scene rendering.

Ezy

I love the game, but the mini game for the fights is absolutely annoyingly too fast. Can you slow it down so one actually wants to play the mini game instead of hitting auto win??

Salutations!

Didn't have a crazy amount of time last week or the week before, since it was my birthday and all. I did manage to get most of the dorm events with the associated people on your paths finished. That's a little bit of a lie, as they're not exactly finished. Some of them will result in a romantic/spicy situation, as per the sneak-preview above.

I'm currently working on those, and hope to finish them by this weekend. They're a little complicated, as they're a result of a combination of your choices, and have to be carefully linked to get the correct outcome. After that, I'll continue with the scenes mentioned in the previous devlog.

TTFN,

Ezy

When you gonna update the game ((

 

[Ezykeyal]

I'm updating it almost every day!

 

[Deleted member 5727629]

For me, the woman I am most attracted to, both personality wise and physically, is Rosie. She looks like her name could be Helga and she could be a viking lady, but she is shorter than Marcus so she does not come off intimidating... physically at least. I like her boldness and willingness to protect her stepsister. I have met girls like Rosie before in life. Like the humor sequences too, especially the staring one when MC is on the gentle giantesse's path.

The only critique I have so far is that the MC's best friend who is black has gray eyes... which does not happen in real life. Unless they wear contacts and even then I don't see any doing that. Other than that, most all the women look like women rather than the common lolita fantasies in games where women look like little girls with adult breasts... which is disturbing for anyone not into **.

Good to see some more love for Rosie!

It's rare for a black person to have light eyes, but definitely not an impossibility.
Some people to name a few:
-Bee Melvnin

-James Earl Jones
-Vanessa Williams
-Sugar Shane Mosley
-Stacey Dash
-Michael Ealy

Hey all,

We've passed the 4 month mark since the last release and I'm hoping to be finished with EP3 close to the end of July. This also marks the 1st year anniversary of the very first release!

In the sneak-preview render, you'll see two new characters you'll be introduced to, Taylor and Jun. And that's all I will say about them for now! I've been doing them in between scene rendering as it breaks the monotony nicely. I've started doing the short training sessions and got two out of six done. Didn't make any progress yet on Joe's scene unfortunately and hopefully I can get a move on with that this week.

Cheers,

Ezy

Heya,

I know who the favorite is and I'm terribly sorry for not showing much of Natasha, but it is as it is! Out of the 1000+ renders I did for the upcoming episode, this is one of Lily I'm actually happy with.

I've finished setting up the final environment for this and future episode(s) and I'm about halfway through one of the final bigger scenes. So what's left before it's done and happy for it to be sent out for playtesting?

- 4 story scenes
- 3 training sessions (all the grappling ones)
- 1 fight
- 2 scenes I did at the start, I want to redo as they're not up to par
- Implementing unlockables
- A few new features (One big one, but I might cut that if it's taking too long)
- Final pollish

Last week it was actually 3 story scenes left, but I realized that one particular important person didn't get enough screen time. So, she's getting an additional scene.

I've worked a little differently this time around and started implementing music and sound effects as I created the scenes. This is a much better way, rather than what I did in the previous episode and implement it all in the end.

We should still be on track for a July release, unless my dog decides to eat my computer. Luckily, I don't have a dog.

All the best,

Ezy
