VN Ren'Py Anna Exciting Affection [Ch.2 Ep.17] [DeepSleep]

[cold_arctus]

anne O'nymous Hey mate, sorry to drag you into this thread but I run into an issue and might need your help to understand what is going on.

Problem: As soon as I try to change the front text size in scripts.rpa the game no longer starts and gives me a traceback. Is it due to some obfuscation tool/code in scripts.rpa?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Before loading the script.
error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

Things like this makes me like this forums so much. People arguing over old man's age.

 

[DeepSleep]

If he had met a buddy in France during WWII it suggests he was a serviceman. He could have been 18 in 1945 & in the armed forces which would make him 93. If he'd been in Korea, he would still be in his mid-80's. Vietnam would be the best choice, as he could be in his 60's. If he was in the forces in the 40's, he obviously has something which all older men want but he's keeping it a secret!

The thing is that I'm born in the 80's and I still live in the 2000's and think that ww2 was 60 years ago Thank you guys for pointing this out

no problem. i just would change it to "It´s a special one i got from a buddy i met in france during my first fashion week." it fits alfred better than any war.

 

[DeepSleep]

Please make android port

The Android version was already made and released on the first day. It's already posted on patreon as well as a fixed version of the game.

Is it due to some obfuscation tool/code in scripts.rpa?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Do not edit directly the rpa files, they are binary, slightly compressed, archives.
Even if you're careful, editing them with a binary editor and taking care to change a string by a string of the exact same length, the result will still have a different checksum (value that permit to know if the file have been corrupted or not).

Use unren.bat (for

You must be registered to see the links

, also exist for

), to both extract the scripts from the rpa files and, if needed, "uncompress" the rpyc files. This will give you access to the source that, then and only then, you can edit.

This said, if you just want to change some style, you don't necessarily need to go this far. While the game is playing, put the mouse cursor over the part you want to change, then press SHIFT + [/icode]i[/icode]. You'll get a screen like this one :

Spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Where the style you hovered is the last one. This will give you the style name (here "page_label_text"). Then, click on the said style name, and you get a screen like that one :

Spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Where you'll find the property defined by this style, and their actual value.


Once this is done, create a file, "myStyle.rpy" by example, and fill it with your changes :

#  Tell Ren'py to proceed this after the default init level, therefore
# after the original styles are defined.
init offset = 100

#  This will edit the "page_label_text" style
style page_label_text:
#  And change the value for its "hover_color" property.
    hover_color "#FF0000"

Put the file in the game directory, so for this game "/home/artcore/Downloads/Games/AEAC2-pc/game", and just launch the game. It will now play with your changes in the style.
Don't forget to keep a copy of "myStyle.rpy" somewhere, in order to just have to copy/paste it when playing the next update. And give him a more explicit name for you to remember to which game it apply.

Thanks Anne! I will try it!

I like the changes he made. Transition to renpy is very much welcomed. I noticed that now the writing is better too, it is not just Anna going from one place to another and fucking everyone on every new scene.

She was very sexy before but now with the new haircut and all, she is even prettier, and somehow it feels like devs improved the visuals too, i may be wrong but i just get that feeling while playing the game.

The game feels like it all started from the beginning ( like she knows the people but she is not on the same level of sexual interactions with them where she was at the end of the first season), how she is now treating people she would usually fuck whenever she met them (Alfred in her apartment scene for example). I personally like it.

I tried all routes and had no crashes or problems some of you mention here.

The weird thing is that Jeremy is alive even though i had him killed in the first season.
Anyway, i am more excited about the future updates than i was before.

So this is a new episode and I was the first one that noticed the physical and mental changes in Anna
She is now a tired woman and no more a young girl ...
This game requires a new title... no longer a young girl's exciting affection.

it would have been better to finish the previous chapter in a more complete way before starting the second episode

I played the unofficial remake in RenPy and the story is very good up the version 2.0...
Now this is a different game even if Anna lives in the same City with the same people, friends, sister, and they all know well Anna (except for Andrew).. for me the story becomes full of non-sense...
All the reviews in this thread are written for the old version...
I suggest to open a new Thread for this new "Chapter" because the game has been changed and it is no more the Exciting Affection of Anna.

we will see in the future and I sincerely hope to be wrong.

when you go to the office you can choose jeremy's route

 

[Kagaramor]

for me the story becomes full of non-sense...

It's kinda hard to find sense after it begins with "she hit her head, now she be horny" (or somewhat similar to it, story and dialogues were really forgettable) and starts to bang every creep. Of course, you can choose to refuse them, but there's no point in that at all. (and you're still forced into sex scene with bfs dad, iirc)

Weekly update

Some think that Anna has gotten curvier, but it isn't so. Maybe her new dress and office outfit makes her look so, together with her new hair. Also, there are some wide angle images for locations where she is not in the right spot and is a bit stretched and looks wider Some people like it though Still, I'm using the same model as before and the last part was even with the main Genesis 3 model is used for years. There will be more outfits and scenes in the future where you will see that she's the same.

Thank you for this .. so I was not the only one who noticed the wide angle...
Anna seems to be shorter and her head is smaller and her body is bigger and wider ... this together with the too fluffy hairstyle that looks like a wig ages the figure of the character ... you know it's really easy to tell if a woman wears wig unless with shaved head. a young woman reacts like her should always have more dynamic hairstyles and for work it would be good to see her with her hair pulled back or gathered high so that the neck and ears are uncovered

As for the content, I agree that she is a bit more calmed down, but Andrew is in hospital after all. All I can tell is that it's not going to be a restart of what she is and she will still have her baggage with her from the previous Chapter and will continue to have a lot of fun. Scenes will have more meaning than just fucking left and right, but players will still get a lot of action as we are planning to release updates more often. At the moment we are planning to release the next update at the beginning of January and I think we will manage.

mmm I'm not quite sure about that due to the fact that she still live in he same city with a lot of men, women and co-workers that well know her
And if you add too much grind mechanism just to hide the inconsistent of the story progress by adding useless time-consuming features... this would be worse than remain on RPGM engine.
you are too excited by the possible Renpy features and you want try all of them but doing this will makes you lose that the main interest in a story... is the story, renders. beautifull characters...
too much menus, phones, or maps are not required... less mechanism = more concentration in the story

If you have some other comments, ideas, concerns, or critics about the game, please don't be afraid and send me everything. Discord, email, and patreon mail are there and I try to reply to everyone.

I think that all users that ask you to use RenPy instead RPGM want that the RPGM mechanism was no more an obstacle to stay focused in the story...
if you replace the machanisme with others new .. great ... awesome ..But...those new type of mechanisms the add time-consuming game playing... after some time this will becomes boring maybe more than stay on RPGM.

Thank you I can't wait to see a new update of this chaper 2

PS: IN THE OP ALL IMAGES ARERELATED TO THE CH1.. I really suggest to use the new CH2 images to avoid delusional expectations.

it is not this the point....she is obviously a nympho and this is a sex adult game so the nonsense is related to the fact that in the ch1 she loved to have sax with everyone with all those who have asked her or she offered herself spontaneously THIS IS AWESOME GREAT!
and for a long time now (after a week of fucking with others) Andrew's small cock is no longer enough to satisfy her
SHE WAS NOT FORCED BY ANYONE!
suddenly in the ch2 she seemsinterested in Andrew? Non sense!
THIS IS THE NONSENSE that I'm talking about...
nymphomania does not disappear without a large and harmful treatment with psychotropic drugs...

and I love nymphs

But Deep said there were no changes to Anna's model and if the developer says so it must be so.

Weekly update

Hello, dear Patrons!

Finally, I can write a recap after the release of Chapter 2 for Anna.
I have received a lot of comments about Chapter 2, some good, some with concerns, but overall it looks like we are on the right path. Renpy is the choice to go, even though I can't transfer choices and saves from the previous Chapter. We have still a lot of stuff to learn, but we are getting there. A lot of new features are coming. Like phone, where you can chat with other characters and see its history together with naughty stuff you sent (if you choose so), collectibles (to unlock extra stuff), random side scenes, and a lot more. I know it will be challenging, but I hope it will make gameplay a lot more fun without disturbing gameplay for those who are not into such stuff.

Some think that Anna has gotten curvier, but it isn't so. Maybe her new dress and office outfit makes her look so, together with her new hair. Also, there are some wide angle images for locations where she is not in the right spot and is a bit stretched and looks wider Some people like it though Still, I'm using the same model as before and the last part was even with the main Genesis 3 model is used for years. There will be more outfits and scenes in the future where you will see that she's the same.

All I can tell is that it's not going to be a restart of what she is and she will still have her baggage with her from the previous Chapter and will continue to have a lot of fun. Scenes will have more meaning than just fucking left and right, but players will still get a lot of action as we are planning to release updates more often. At the moment we are planning to release the next update at the beginning of January and I think we will manage.

If you have some other comments, ideas, concerns, or critics about the game, please don't be afraid and send me everything. Discord, email, and patreon mail are there and I try to reply to everyone.

Thank you again for your amazing support!
Sincerely yours,
Deep

In this update, Is there a new scene with Timothy?

You're right, Anna is a nympho but not a total bimbo airhead. This is a sex game sure but the plot is still an important element here. Her love for Andrew is bullshit, but she still saw someone killed in front of her, her sister may have died, the police want to frame her, she must quickly get a lot of money - do you really think that in the current stressful situation she should just go and fuck everyone she meets? Maybe just for one update she won't be in the mood for sex because of stress and stuff. Is it really such a tragedy? Or maybe you prefer the situation as it was in the last part of the first chapter? Remember ,where instead of saving her sister she found time to be fisted and buttfucked in camshow and then DP by two strangers
You also seem pretty sure that no one forced her to have sex - well what was the plane scene with Jeremy then ? For me it's rape and for you? Sex - surprise? In fact, almost all scenes with this fat fuck are sexual abuse ( she didn't decides to kidnap him and then let them beat him to death just because he had bad breath )
What about ASShley? At their first meeting, he immediately blackmails her and forces her to have sex . What about the entire bar route? No forcing or blackmail there?

The thing is that I'm born in the 80's and I still live in the 2000's and think that ww2 was 60 years ago Thank you guys for pointing this out

Would you allow me to download yr game for free?

 

[asplly97]

lol you are asking this question on this forum

Nope. Just Anna flashing a little bit at the office

to frame her, she must quickly get a lot of money - do you really think that in the current stressful situation she should just go and fuck everyone she meets?

I never say that!
She need fast money she has to work now! (or non sense)
but the CH2 seems to slow down compared to the frantic and dramatic events of the end of the first chapter ... she must react she cannot afford to rest... Andrew is save at the hospital and she must hurry to find a way to get more money and avoid dangerous actions from the fact that Anna scammed Fitzgerald by selling fake drug and she now have to save herself and Sergey from Fitzgerald revenge.
It is not the time to rest in the story!! That is what I say... and the DEV in his post on patreon page know that...
he seems to be much focused on the beautiful useless RenPy features..

Maybe just for one update she won't be in the mood for sex because of stress and stuff. Is it really such a tragedy? Or maybe you prefer the situation as it was in the last part of the first chapter? Remember ,where instead of saving her sister she found time to be fisted and buttfucked in camshow and then DP by two strangers

this is not her mood... this seems to be the DeepSleep mood right now... is the dev that write the story..
I just write my opinion to help him to stay focused on the story and not in the engine features
there are NONSENSE event in the start of this chapter... I hope he will able to correct also listening on my good advices

You also seem pretty sure that no one forced her to have sex - well what was the plane scene with Jeremy then ? For me it's rape and for you? Sex - surprise? In fact, almost all scenes with this fat fuck are sexual abuse ( she didn't decides to kidnap him and then let them beat him to death just because he had bad breath )

I'm sure that a great EVIL character can make the story great!
Jeremy path was very good and it is a missing path that was abandoned.. my choice was: not Kill him because
every story requires a credible powerful villain and the better the villain's interpretation, the better the story

What about ASShley? At their first meeting, he immediately blackmails her and forces her to have sex . What about the entire bar route? No forcing or blackmail there?

I think you're confusing the word "forced" with the word "blackmail"
she was never forced... and also when raped she love rough sex.
she works as a waitress and stripper pole dancer and works as a drug seller
she accepted to do that.. and she enjoy every time doing sex.. she also had threesome/foursome
by her choice... never forced to do that... she is a natural sexual machine that can't stop fuck until she cum.

no one forced her to spread her legs to sell the fake drug she celebrate with Michael after that scene...

and here she accepted the bet on the Glory Hole in the pub just because she loved that.. she is super strong female character



everyone who knows her in the city knows that she likes sex and she use her sex skill to get informations she is not a victim.. she is a super fucking hot smart girl that do her job very well... she is a powerful girl and the story needs a super villain who can make Anna stronger and stronger to prevent the story from falling into repetitive boredom.

Another way to do that if the dev want slow down the sex events (I really hope not) but the only way in this case is
to organize Anna's escape to a new city where she can start being a new person again ... but the author has to hurry because she has already agreed to take pictures and porn movies.
