Just as I thought, I can't play animations without the blackscreen. I tried to update the Windows DirectX or play in different renders and every single one of them leads to blackscreen

Might just be that the chip on your motherboard cant handle them. Sucks.

Maya is very flip-floppy. She might be bipolar. Can't check out her closet, but she's okay with taking her money. Can't let her leg rest on his crotch, but she's cool with hand on a gstring and ass. Doesn't want him to be attracted to her, yet flaunts around in her gstring and nightie. Rrrrright. That's right, I like to start shit with the characters.

Do you know any other games like this that I can play, specially in cellphones?

What type phone you have? Lots of games have android versions as well as almost anything should play on a windows phone. No clue about Iphone, don't own one

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

Aw see and as sad as it is to say the only interest I have in Heather is simply to get at Tommy. What can I say. I can be a vindictive little shit sometimes.

Don't worry, you're not the only one

I think they meant colour progression, not shape. Euro is like Grey-Red-Blue-Orange. Canadian looks more like it. Are there more ingame notes?

It's a LG Cellphone, basically android

You could try to download a android game. Not sure how that works though I use my PC to play all my games. I pass on playing on my phone. Smart Phone, Dumb Operator.

Bunch in a lot of free roams but none that you can see as clearly if I remember right

 

[Cndyrvr4lf]

That's weird to play this game on the phone, imo.

I'd be to embarrassed if someone saw what I was looking at. OMG

It's literally a Daz product. All bills and coins

That's exactly my thought. Especially hackers. Not saying it can happen or can't but that's freaky. I saw those vids out there where people didn't know they were being recorded. yikes.

Dirty mind moment How would I FAP and hold my phone steady?

Ew! lol. Practice with left. Better hope you don't get a call from family in the middle... "Hey, mom, just jerkin it to a sex game, call ya back"

 

[Cndyrvr4lf]

lemonfreak I saw your earlier post but can't find it now. I don't remember how dirty the phone call got but I remember it was more than sexual innuendo but not straight phone sex when MC knocked the broom over

My only beef with Chad being gay and "misunderstood" is it will lead to some level of a cop out for him and Sage.

DPC has written relatively nuanced characters but he keeps giving them the easy way out. He's building up drama, fanning the flames but can't end the story now so they go nowhere. Complicated, arguably realistic, characters getting deus ex machina'd up the arse so they see no consequences for their actions so the plot can move along without being burdened by realistic reactions. Sitcoms do this all the time. The Josy/Maya love triangle was solved with 30 seconds of "I cheated... but it's all gravy... wanna start a threesome/be friends?". No cheating is ever addressed. Nobody ever calls anyone on the MC fucking every girl he's ever been in extended contact with.

Sage is cheating on a guy she's been with for years and apparently has deep enough feelings for to not just end it despite his infidelity. Chad has been distant and cold with her for a while... if not their entire relationship, based on the flashback... he's also violent and confrontational with not just Sage but anyone he ever meets. Him being gay will inevitably lead to the story just blowing past all their existing character flaws. Sage wont be called out on cheating for so long since the relationship was a sham (unbeknownst to her so it was still cheating). Chad wont be called out on being distant and a shitty boyfriend since he was gay so... nah it's fine he treated her like shit and drove an intelligent and empathetic girl to stalk him with binoculars.

Him being gay makes for easy writing, DPC wont have to justify dick all he's written so far and basically can clean slate Sage, Chad and the MC's relationships via the whole "but I'm gay" angle... But that's a cop out, Sage should be called out for the cheating. Chad should be called out for the being a douche. Chad being gay will follow the well established trope

countless TV shows of the "sympathetic adulterer". It's a cop out and they need to be called on it.

I agree with your overall point that DPC tends to play fast and loose with the consequences of the situations he sets up (though I remain more amused by the opposite case, where the MC insists he needs to sleep around even when he never does so). I do think the MC will face some judgement for his action eventually, but that day is a long ways off and the game does seem to suffer in the meantime.

It feels like it was a mistake for so many of the LIs to be in relationships when they met the MC (or the ghost of one, in Bella's case). I'm prepared to overlook the poor handling of the M&J relationship in Episode 4 because the concept at least feels sound. But it would be easier to do that if the MC didn't keep finding himself in similar situations with the other girls. Sage's situation in particular just seems to gets worse the more we see of it, because at this point it's unclear if she had a real relationship with Chad in the first place.

That said, while I understand your concerns with making it too easy to forgive Chad's cheating, what's the alternative? If Chad is banging some other girl, do you think that won't be used as an excuse to make Sage's cheating "justified?" In some ways that feels even worse, given how insistent Sage has been on not breaking up with Chad just because he was cheating on her.

The fundamental problem is that Sage getting together with the MC is a given (at least if he pursues her). So one way or the other Chad is going to be sidelined. At least making him sympathetic can open more interesting roles in the story going forward. I find that preferable to just doubling down on Chad being an unlikable jerk, even if neither is my first choice.

This is the first proper status update for episode 6 since it was the first week I could work normally on game development after episode 5 release.

I've been writing and posing intermittently. It's been an uphill battle getting renders and animations in the queue while also having scenes written to pose the art for.

I always pose my art after dialogue is written, the other way around isn't a good workflow since I would have to fit dialogue to renders instead of making art to a story, which is more natural to me.

I usually start posing animations, but this time I've been posing more static renders than usual early on.

It doesn't cut development time, but it does make it easier to show you previews.

So far, ~700 renders and 26 animations are complete.

I've written approximately 45% of the main dialogue file, compared to episode 5, and I'm still trying to plan the scope of the episode.

Episode 6 will be more varied than episode 5 was and it will require me to write a new kind of code, which I'm really excited about.

Poll news
The winner of the Special render poll was Nicole/Envy, with a majority of votes in all polls. Sally came in second place and Camila came in third place.

It's going to be fun to devote a render series to Nicole/Envy and I hope you liked the new direction the special render poll has taken.

I'll post the first preview of Envy's special render series next week.

Soon another poll for longer animation will start. +$10 patrons will be voting for who gets a longer animation in episode 6. Jill won a similar poll in episode 5 and can't win in this poll.



Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

He sure is fast at work, 700 renders a week ago. Wonder how many he did it already.

Interestingly, I recognized this immediately, even before, could be just me overthinking again, shocker I know, but it looks just like the Napoleon Honey Bee Napoleon was obsessed with. Lot of legacy stuff in this game.
