Ren'Py Beauty and the Thug [v0.4.5] [Ze-gam-eZ]

[Mr_Ainz]

I feel like the story is about a girl and her relationship with a cast of quirky characters, some more wholesome than others. If you take the game too serious then you set yourself to be disappointed/frustrated. You have a semblance of choice but the story is a bit over the top and that's kinda the dev's thing (which I like quite a lot )

 

[GrumpyOldGit]

I think I understand the problem, but I doubt this is the biggest problem of the game right now. Of course, there could be an exit route for Gloria, but this would require an alternative event so make it even. The game hasn't a strong focus on choices and maybe this is a story that ze-gam-ez want to be told. Still, I think it's valid feedback and the developer could consider to build in "skip"-paths for certain events in the future that are not deeply story related. Nevertheless this could also lead to much more work and bloat scenes for every possibility that the audience might prefer.

Given that the arc is opt-in from the very start, I doubt the dev feels more strongly about wanting this story arc told than any other story arc in the game, many of which are also optional.

As regards choice: Gloria's presence seems likely to interfere with the achievement for only engaging in straight content. Having to choose to skip out on going to the OB/GYN entirely to qualify for that achievement seems like a rather big deal. And even if Gloria doesn't count, it might still be a big deal for those that want to play a straight Lisa.

Besides that, I agree with you.

i can't go to red light district on day 3, is the walkthrough outdated or am i being stupid?

edit: nvm, i had skipped the part where you can trigger bonus content, but now i can't figure out how to get exhib over 33%. done the topless pizza delivery 4x (once with each panty with and without teasing)

My supporters on Patreon and Subscribestar voted for some quality improvement.

Initial quality was like this:


Now, it's like this:


Can you find any difference, guys?

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

More texture on the skin among other things. the others I'm not sure. But yeah, greater quality.

Oh come on, guys! Did only Knight_of_the_lance manage to notice anything at all?

• More detailed skin texture – that one’s spot on.
• Hair – higher texture detail, sunlit glow, light playing through individual strands near the left ear, and some loose hairs visible against the sky and the building’s facade.
• Clothing folds – take a look at both the top and the shorts.
• Skin folds and dimples – check the underarm area, left elbow and inner elbow, left hand, under the breasts, and the left thigh.

Better shadows and no blurry face... I get it, it's a 4k render =D

edit: among other things like Knight said.

 

[Rel Teeg]

Well, yes, I did, but thought of just a thumbs up. But, because you are one of my very favorite devs with two of my very fav games that include my very fav content (sub lesbian kink) that almost no one else does (and for med kink, not sure anyone does), yes, I see the high def, the greater color, the highlights. And when I get my new monitor very soon I am sure to appreciate it even more. Thank you for this

I noticed the differences, but didn't think about to point that out, because it seemed obvious to me. The only thing I wasn't sure about is if the blurry effects on the original image were on purpose, but I was definitely impressed by the hair quality. Almost that much impressed that I was afraid that it goes too far away from the original Lisa design.

I honestly only tried to figure out if her breasts where bigger or had jiggle physics. Did not find anything there.

Aqwaa told me the same thing! Don’t worry — I’ll keep myself in check. It’s just that I almost accidentally found a way to significantly improve the quality of my renders. And then, just when I thought that was it — I found a way to make them even better. It’s quite overwhelming.

At first, I really did go a bit overboard, but it’s slowly passing. Lisa will still be Lisa — just slightly improved. And Amy too, by the way.

Also, guys, I don’t have much time to keep up with other creators’ work. Could you recommend some games with really high-quality renders, where I could maybe pick up a few ideas?

Can some one explain why you have to download two progarms?. Why is this game different to other Renpy games?

Blurriness is being caused by depth of field and aperture. It can really give the attention to a certain point in a picture/render but it can also mess it up.

The first picture really gives attention to the body and what she is doing. Second picture gives the attention to her as a whole person and not just her body and what she is doing. Both can work in a certain way, depends on what is going and what is trying to be told with this picture/render. If you really want to give the attention to what she is doing and her body, picture one should be used. If you want to draw the attention to her as a whole person, then second picture should be used.

I do use depth of field aswell. For example this picture. You can still see that she is in a class room, but I draw the attention to her intentionally and not the environment. This kind of renders could really work to give all the attention to the character, like the viewer is being distracted or being in a conversation with her. So I force people to pay less attention on the environment and more on to her.

It can also work the opposite, you can also take away the attention of a person. Like making the person entirely blurry and the background sharp, so you change the attention of the viewer. For example, when there is a scene where something happens behind a character. So, the blurryness has nothing to do with quality but how to change the attention of the viewer.

Depth of field isn't necessarily about quality, but drawing attention to a certain point. This could also work as part of the body. Making the head blurry while the rest of the body is sharp. This way you really give all the attention to the body. You can also do this in real life, put your finger infront of you and concentrate on your finger. Everything behind your finger becomes blurry. Now focus on the background, you will see that everything behind your finger will be sharp, but your finger blurry.

To proof that depth of field has nothing to do with quality, i've made these 8k resolution pictures. Don't mind the lighting and depth of field, it may not be perfect, I made these renders very fast, it's just to show what I mean.

I draw the attention to what is behind her.

I draw the attention back to her.

I can't say for sure that these games have top quality or better quality than yours, but if I think on stunning visuals these came in my mind:

Amnesia:
https://f95zone.to/threads/amnesia-v0-101-remaster-steam-super-alex.44511/

The Lost Chapters:
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-lost-chapters-v0-6-3-asura-interactive.70111/

Toro:
https://f95zone.to/threads/toro-7-ep-7-tora-productions.111945/

I could continue this list, but these were the first three I had in mind. Unfortunately, because I prefer female protagonist games, I don't have such a good overview

Could not find a version higher then 4.0c on itch.io to purchase for now. Did I missed the link or is it not available yet?

This is the last version. I am working on update and it will be ready soon (all visuals are ready, need to finish coding and test)

good work

i mentioned it to one dev his name is Dream. it turns out he knows your games so maybe he'll contact you. he's very good in visuals but not very well known
