VN Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.8.5] [recreation]

[Meushi]

Oof, the J and M files are a little insane, I didn't notice that lol.
The main reason for using higher bitrate (and a bit depth of 10) was the darker scenes which had clearly visible stairs and artefacts all over the place. I played with the values until I was happy and saved it as preset to use for every other animation^^
As a little side note, the list you posted is for youtube uploads, they're far from optimal since they prioritize fast streaming over image quality.

Yeah, I figured. With a half decent rig you probably wouldn't notice a problem with most of them, so wouldn't be looking at bit rate issues I guess. I need to do this on several other games too to get acceptable performance on my low spec machine, so plenty of devs who don't constrain max bit rate.

Yes I know those settings are for streaming, which I consider an adequate benchmark for AVN animations. Blu-Ray+ bit rates are overkill imo, we're not transcoding Avatar here after all.

There is certainly a trade-off between quality/bit rate etc. and you're particularly sensitive to artifacts etc. so probably tend to go high-end. Even Blu-ray doesn't generally go above 40 Mb/s though.

As you say, for proper optimization you'd have to tweak the settings for every video depending on lighting etc., but that's an awful lot of time and effort.

Don't know if someone notice already but i can't replay one scene in the Gallery. It's just start a new game.

Start of this has changed a bit from what I remember, and I don't think a female MC was possible before, but I might be wrong. Might have to give that version a run through at some point.

It's good stuff, as ever... still not gotten to nail Katie or Rachel yet though (well unless I made a wrong choice somewhere - the WT mod isn't being done anymore). While Katie is my obvious favourite, I actually dig the storyline with Rachel quite a bit and really want to get her under the MC's thumb. Every time they give her a pill then fail to capitalise on it to really push things with her (or forget about her) I fell like screaming at the screen, haha.

That cop is being more annoying than I thought he'd turn out to be, I hope that's not a problem. Also I feel kinda bad for going after coffeeshop girl when I've not really got any interest in her, hopefully that won't mess up things with the characters I do like, and at least that also lead to meeting those VR porn girls at the shop while hanging out with coffeegirl.

Kinda hope all this nutting in the girls eventually leads to knocking them up. I always want to bring that up to Rachel when she's under the pill influence, that the best way to make up to the MC that she was a bad mother is by becoming the mother to his child and doing better.

There's a fix for that in the OP

Female mc was always there, also try her, there are some scenes really worth it imo, even if you're not that interested in lesbian stuff.

What do you mean? Is there story content exclusive to the FMC? Or why would there be scenes really worth it, even if you're not interested in lesbian stuff?

 

[Master of Puppets]

MC only has two girls that know about each other and are happy about it.
Need one more to get on board then it will be an official harem.
It will be interesting to see if it is Rachel or Katie first, suspect Katie.
Unlikely Hanna, Steph or Maggy at this point.

It's complicated. Rachel definitely knows about Jada even if she doesn't know about Ellie or Kath. Kath knows about Ellie and Jada. The vibe I get from Maggie is that she is more interested in casual fun than anything serious. And she may well be Rachel's 'precious', there aren't really that many women that we know that it could be.

well some scenes play obviously different, mostly sex scenes, the story is still the same, but I've made sure that not all is the exact same as in the male mc version.

I assumed so, I was just wondering why someone not interested in lesbian stuff would want to check that version, that's all. Lesbian sex scenes do nothing for me, so no reason for me to go through that FMC version, then.

Not everyone is like you (TF!).

It's explained in big white letters above the file......

doesn't need ic-patch.

Where did I say everyone is like me, though? The original post I asked about refered specifically to people not interested in lesbian stuff. Or is that not allowed here anymore?

 

[Havik79]

Not a bad update, disappointed getting blue balled by Rachel and Katie.
Pity it is going to be long ass wait to resolve that cliffhanger.

 

[anne O'nymous]

The "complain" refers to her ass, as in "You have such a nice ass, do you ever complain about it?" it was meant to be female mc specific, but it looks like I forgot to add an extra line for the male mc^^

Ok.
Between the context of the scene, the fact that Katherine explicitly answer by a silence, then the MC asking her to bend more, I got it wrong ; seeing it as a "it's not what I asked".

Hmm, yeah I get that, especially when you play as male mc, it definitely fits the female mc better.

 

[Misosoc]

Really like this game. Sad it's so long between updates.

So playing along from the end of my last save where you just finished a movie and got on the phone with Hanna. I go on the hike with Rachel, take Katie back home..... Then the game looped back to my last save point. I skipped through, then it takes me all the way to morning breakfast with Rachel, Ellie, and Jada..... Something isn't right... Anyone else have these issue? Possible fix????? I would love to see this story develop....

Fix is in the op, I'd also recommend to start from day 9 (when the "Day 9" text pops up).

I will try again. I was using the compressed version and missed the "fix" so I will start over and see if that works.

 

[Tigrillo]

Don't know about where you are but around these parts a "bathing suite" is probably something that's off of the walk-in closet. Is this one of those gated communities where an extra "e" is added to everything as in "olde towne"?
