VN Ren'Py Abandoned Babysitting Cream: BetaMix Edition [v0.3.5] [Novilon]

[Pleevy]

It would be nice if the text box was transparent or at least have the option in preference using a slider to make it transparent. A colored text box just ruins the mod of a game IMO. I have a transparent text box in the non-remake version using a mod that is basically compatible for all the games I am playing that doesn't use a transparent text box.

However, the mod doesn't work with the remake because of the way parables are being used. For example, X position vs X align. I forget the line the error mentioned. Hope a transparent option can be added.

This is a question for those who know what they are doing in the code (Not me...I'm just lucky to not have broken 'everything'). We'll see what they say/can do.

Liking where this story idea is going...this is good...Even if I end up having to "write" code it...having some good ideas helps. Also..that would explain the aphrodesiac icecream....

I already need to rush to finish CSS/work/moving stuff before end of June deadline, but hey, who needs sleep right? xD So if you prefer to work on something else and y'all like the general idea, I don't mind write / code a draft of the necessary scenes. But if you prefer to write your own story that's absolutely fine too of course.

If I'd be the one writing it, I'm thinking of the following progression:

See...I wish you had sent that by DM...because now the twist is out there and won't be a surprise if we go that route...

Slight flaw I think in your idea, unless Amy is a randy nymphomanic..
Had to look up what 'Erinaceidae' meant - basically 'Hedgehogs', meaning that (in the Sonic universe)


and also, based on 'Sonic Underground' lore,also means that Sonics Brother & Sister are also immune

See Pleevy, this is why I just share all my ideas I personally think brainstorming like this can be quite helpful, even though it takes away some of the surprise ^^

Edit: but of course, if you agree on the above broad stroke progression deciding on the story details is probably done better via PM indeed.

Your summary of known events was quite helpful Foxy^^

You seem to have the misplaced belief that people read comments instead of blindly ask 'when next update?'. You should know better by now

Update soon?

Yeah...I am an eternal closet idealist....what can I say?

Right now, mostly extending feelers, want to make sure the rest I made for post 0.6.x is done before diving head first into this piece...because after it, Imagery is the name of the game and so far all I have done to help there is funnel them between parties and remove some backgrounds. We are trying to care about the community as we try to finish a 1.0 level release.

Nothing is committed, though I do like what is being tossed about...I can make it make sense and see where/how it can be put into the game as it stands.

 

[MrFluffums]

Sounds good Pleevy ^^ looking forward to the 1.0 version whenever it may drop!

I do think the 1.0 release would be a good opportunity to split this discussion into a dedicated thread, but then again getting it approved will probably take quite a while

Depending on when you and Xaverion are planning to release 1.0 I'd also probably need to pass on the android keys to someone else (if anyone else is willing), as I'll be unavailable from end of June onwards.

The process is really straightforward, and after you set it up once it takes very little time to build a Ren'py android release. But eh, it's still a while. Let's worry about that when it's closer to July

Slow down there...1.0 is still a ways off...I am not looking past 0.7 yet...as I submitted changes from 0.6 for code review and we're still in need of many an image.

In the bigger picture...i am kind of thinking just keeping it here as is - is best from a development stand point...we avoid most of the "When update" vultures since the main thread is unchanged for those just passing by, but we have an active enough group to brainstorm and keep things moving. I won't stop anyone if they want to try it...but it's not going to be me. I am mostly just along for the ride and anyone who says otherwise will answer to He Who Must Not Be Named...

I'll leave android conversion alone as well. Might be neat to understand/learn, but not my priority by any stretch.

Are we getting the mystery ending finally the truth ending

Are we getting the mystery ending finally the truth ending

That's basically the nature/context of the discussion at this point. I would call it "An" ending, if not "the" ending since we are so separated from the original creators and unsure about the direction they might have wanted to take it.

I'm still in favor of more than one ending

a good one, a great one, a bad one and a terrible one

I still like your idea of the pheromones. That could be used as a true ending. Gives Sonic a "bad" guy to stop, a day saved, and a sexy reward for good behavior (if you went that route of course). Or like you said, have another ending where if you didn't meet a certain RWC, that you get a standard ending and never find out what's causing everyone to act weird. Vanilla comes home, business as usual.

Great One - True Ending (We find out why everyone is horny)
Good One - Vanilla comes back home. Her and Cream reward you together. (You leave suspicious, but say you will look into it later along with Amy)
A bad One - Vanilla comes back home. Kicks you out for being a bad babysitter with low alignment.
Terrible One - A knock at the door, but it isn't Vanilla like you expect. The Villain is at the door. No one is safe

Or.. just have one ending, Idk. Whatever's easier

 

[MrFluffums]

I wonder if there will be a button add in for Android ver, in other to hide text box to see the full art on BabySitting Cream Remake 0.6, that would be the best!Same with CubSitting Simulator (And i still confuse how the item inventory will work on Android touch screen) :3

Hey Ken, could you try

You must be registered to see the links

works for you (the 0.6.1 release)?
If you swipe up / down you should be able to hide / show the text box. Was a relatively simple fix, just had to add these two lines somewhere in the code (added them to script.rpy, but they should work anywhere).
If it works for you as well I'll ask Xaverion if he can include this change in 0.7.0.

define config.gestures = { "e" : "rollback" , "w" : "rollforward" ,"n":"hide_windows","s":"hide_windows"}
define config.dispatch_gesture = None

Hey Ken, could you try whether this version works for you (the 0.6.1 release)?

Yup!It did work, just tap and hold (If tap only then it will just continue the dialogue in the text box instead) above the text box and drag down to hide the text box, and tap, hold and drag up to show the text box again ;D

Yes, this Works

 

[MrFluffums]

Thanks both for testing! I don't remember anything drag and droppy that this bit may interfere with, so let's hope Xaverion will be nice enough to patch it in for future releases ^^

Well...Speaking for myself...I am a fan of multiple endings, the catch is always how much work to make them happen. Which...as I am the defacto writer at the moment...falls to me...So...Good feedback, ideas to help...Waiting on confirmation of everything I submitted for what is likely to be 0.7 before i commit, in case things need to be fixed/changed. Updates when I have them.

 

[jekkajacka]

I'm so glad to see this game getting love again. Cudos to everyone involved, I hope the passion for this lives a long life in your hearts.

 

[MrFluffums]

Ken The Wolf and Novaca I did an oopsie, and forgot I had edited my files to try some things out. More specifically, there's some code that I used to experiment with Cream & hunger, which makes the game annoying - if Cream has negative hunger, the game will complain that she's hungry but will never let you feed her again.
Could you please follow this link and update your game?

You got this Pleevy. I'm sure you can come up with something... of course, if you guys don't mind giving extra time for endings. We have some ideas to share here as well.

By all means, then share....though I suggest doing so by DM so as to not spoil the surprise of the possibilities...up to you though...if you want feedback before it even reaches me, or to workshop it or whatever...post here...otherwise...you know ehere to find me...
