Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.9.5.2] [recreation]

[recreation]

"T'That's NTR!!!"

The fuck, when will I learn to not play your game in the middle of the night, when laughing out loud make way too much noise ?
By the way, it's not her step-ladder, it's her landladder


All this being said, recreation , when you tell Katherine to bend, shouldn't the line be "Damn, do you ever comply ?" in place of "Damn, do you ever complain ?"

step-landladder
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^^

 

[Sancho1969]

Agreed, the humor is spot on...not overdone or too absent imho.

 

[pds72]

A bit of strangeness...

When Rachel asks if MC remembered Ellie's birthday. It seems this part uses real time date as MC stated it was Saturday 25 September so next day would be 26 then realizes it will be her birthday.

Odd part comes the day after party. Rachel says to let Ellie sleep in because it is Sunday, but the party was Sunday.

Why will android update 7 will not install

Fantastic Update!

 

[Aion_Abyss]

Didn't this used to have a trans/futa protagonist option? What happened to that?

You're mixing something up here, there was never a trans/futa in the game.

Oh damn, my bad. I probably just played the male route last time.

Love your game!

only shame is about how my patato PC can't easily play the late game animations well. it keep skipping frames for me sadly. don't have too much issue with the early game animation though. but yea, i hope a 32 bit version can be made either by dev or fanbase.

Thanks, a 32bit version won't help with the frame skipping though, a compressed version will probably fix it for you.

Ah, a fellow potato computer user.

The problem is many of rec's new animations have extremely high video bit rates, which require lots of grunt to run smoothly. On lower spec machines which can't handle this, you start getting stutter/dropped frames.

To resolve this on my POS laptop I transcode any videos with bit rate >12Mb/s to a target bit rate of ~10Mb/s.

(95.3 MB). To use: extract the archive, copy the game folder across, select replace files.

The quality of these transcoded videos looks fine to me, though others such as rec who are particularly sensitive to artifacts might notice the difference.

You'd probably get even better quality if this was run on the original videos spat out of Daz, rather than the converted webm videos available in game.

As an added benefit, lowering the bit rate also reduces the file size. For these videos, a reduction of 236.28 MB in total.

Attached is my video processing script, which employs ffmpeg two-pass transcoding. It's straightforward to adjust the parameters to your requirements. Takes a while to run though.

Loved the update but was sadly too short...I want hours more Ellie.

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.

That is completely unhelpful. You basically just said, restart if you want to see the changes, when we were asking are the changes worth restarting.

I can't judge that for you, it's not much for this update, but I've made several changes over the past few updates that range from just a few new renders, to new interactions. There's no new scene, it's still basically all the same, but with additions, better dialogue, longer scenes, more fleshed out, etc.

ok, fair.

 

[recreation]

lol, for some reason, that joke caught me off guard... just like the ladder did for Jada.

Glad you liked it, but you're just destroying it for everyone else who hasn't seen it yet

 

[turgsh01]

There... fixed it, lol

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.
