VN Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.9b Beta] [recreation]

[RC-1138 Boss]

Renders are really nice and playing as a woman is good too, plus there is some really interesting guilty trip there with all the domestic violence past that happened between Jill, her father and "stepmother". This game got me hooked up.

I would definitely suggest adding sound if you're prepared to do it well; anyone who doesn't like it can always turn it off. There are, as I see it, two basic ways to add consistent background sound: music, based on either mood or who the player is speaking to; or ambience based on where the player is. If you have one or both of these as a background, then you can start thinking about maybe adding sound effects in the foreground.

I'd like to get some feedback, so here is a little splash screen and maintheme test, no new content.
Just unpack and drop it into the BM folder.

The Splashscreen is nice, i like that (its ellie?!) .
The Theme, first of all, thanks for not using something that is very loud so i dont get a heartattack, is also good i think. its very delicate, i think something like that fits well.

I like the splash screen. But I like any image of Ellie.

The music is suspenseful and fits to the atmosphere of the game. Good choice.

I don't know what to think about our MC a his feelings towards the "mother figure" of Rachel,
because in some cases he talks about how she neglected him in the past, she doesn't care if he was bleeding after the school fight, etc. etc. He expressed himself that "he'll not forgive her that easily" yet we never see that. MC's behavior towards her is rather friendly I would say.
I simply don't belive him that after so many years of Rachel's abuse, MC would jump on the first opportunity to grab her titts. Maybe he has some mental issues, that would explain a lot.

Perhaps he has watched too many porn games .

Trying to give a more mature answer to your remark.

I don't think it is just lust, let alone love, that makes him grab Rachels tits. Although the abuse took place many years ago, there is still a lot of anger in the MC. I think it is a way to get back at her, some sort of revenge. Just like he grabs Katherine by the pussy to punish her.
That would make the MC a nasty shit. There are mitigating circumstances. The MC was abused in the past. But I sincerely hope the MC will learn from his mistakes.

Balancing the audio to similar levels is important, but try not to make them too quiet overall. We can easily turn the volume slider in the game down, but by default we can't turn it up. If you're concerned about the volume being too loud, rather than reducing the volume in the music file try setting the default volume for the game to 0.5 instead of the default 1.0.

This is the way I interpret it as well, and why I dislike him/her even though I can understand the reasoning. But its very early in the narrative so we'll have to wait and see how it develops or if we will get a chance to influence his behavior with our choices.

Splashscreen made me laugh The theme is also nice!

Ellie herself and the theme puts me in mind of a modern fairy tale of sorts.

 

[GhostPhil]

Shit! Zellie is on the move! Watch out or she is going to snuggle you to death!

I think most people prefer the voices they make-up for the characters themselves over voice actors.

This, so much this. I like to imagine that Ellie could have a raspy but very sweet and timid voice. If she gets a voice actress it might change my perception of her, so I hope that there won't be voice acting.

Kind of similar to what my version sounds like, its Luna Lovegood-ish for me but without the British accent. (Harry Potter character).

 

[Rico Caramba]

Problem with voice acting is that they usually say exactly what you are reading. In a silly voice. So it doesn't add anything extra. It would be different if the voice added something you can't read.
But incidentally adding a laugh or a scream is scaring as hell! So only acceptable if you're doing horror.

Are those films still around where the play this typical kind of porn jazz, as soon as they start fucking?

That's what I did, look at the settings
