Ren'Py Being Super [v0.20a Dark] [Sandman Games and Art]

[Griev]

I really like this game,but the last few updates have all been at this one party. Can we finally moved past it yet, or are we STILL there?

 

[Mr Sandman]

I also love this game for being one of the few rare gems where there's some degree of choice in the player character's race. It feels great to be able to immerse so deeply into the kinky power fantasy as I'm playing along. There's less layers of required abstraction for my willing suspension of disbelief while I'm trying to bust my nut to this game than compared to most. And for that I'm incredibly greatful.

As long as it helps keep you from burning out please take however long you might need to sustainably push out releases. This is a game that I really, really don't want to ever see the abandoned tag affixed to...

This is the adult game that I like the most, even if is not finished, because of the interesting story
Some characters are heavily inspirated on X-men and X-Factor comics of Marvel
The fact that the player can choose his superpowers is very interesting.
The MC is in serious good shape, that's far better than being skinny like the other game that is similar.
The models look really good, the sister is very beautiful and sexy.
The animations and the music are good.

The game has a great potential, although a long time passed without releasing updates, the dev seems to be back on track

Hey thank you guys for the kind words, i rarely come on here because i feel like alot of people are so hostile lol I will never abandon this, it is my baby. xx Even if I only had 1 person who loved my game, i would keep making it just for them.

Also people forget i am just one guy with a full time job and this game is very complex. especially with the branching paths. xx

this update begins after the party ends. So yes, the party is done. However, the ruby scene has been redone massively! I recommend you use the saves provided to replay it. but you dont have to xx

I love your game. It's in my top 25 (and even made it into my signature), so I guess you're never abandoning then. Cause I'll be here.

Mc fuck the mom and sis yet?

 

[Adhdclassic]

Update overall was good. 2 problems though. Characters looked different and I had saves I didn't save. Don't know if that is normal.

 

[harem.king]

please screenshot these errors, yes if you load an old save, you get the "ruby_possible_romance" error. but that should be the only one.
When starting a new game which errors you get?

don't remember where it was but I did encounter one such case in a new game.

also, what is this function fixing saves thing you mentioned? How do I do it?

you create a variable for save version.
run an onload script that calls a function

void upgradeSave()
{
if(saveVersion == 5)
{
deleteVar("redundantVar");
renameVar("oldname","newname");
//initialize new variables
setVar("varname","value");
//more complex case. try to figure out if quest so and so was done already, if it was done already then var666 should have been set to something.
if(getVar("quest5") != "") //quest5 not blank means var666 should have been set
setVar("var666", "somedefaultvalue")
saveVersion = 6;
}

if(saveVersion == 6)
{
upgrade instructions from 5 to 6
saveVersion = 7;
}

etc
}

if you want to get real fancy you can even popup a choice of "in the quest so and so, what did you tell mom?". but honestly that is just being unnecessarily fancy.
A basic fix is just preselecting a default choice so the save file is not broken is probably more than sufficient.
especially with a note in changelog like

> saves imported from v0.19 will assume you choose to have sex with char X. you can change it by setting
> var666 = False

the above is just an example. there are multiple ways to specifically write it out based on your preferences.

 

[kingman01]

Damn, well thank you, will have to manage get the points.

Use universal renpy mod bro, it is very easy and convinient also can be used in almost every renpy game
You can also alter game stats while in game with it

old saves should work. the saves i provided were just for new ruby content.

My old save from last October did work, but I got a traceback for

File "game/After_Party_1_Scenes.rpy", line 4104, in <module>
NameError: name 'Ruby_Possible_romance' is not defined

Clicking ignore worked, although I had the same issue one more time. I got 3 tracebacks in total, but I didn't look closely at the 3rd one, I just clicked ignore.

 

[Speppo82]

Oh this game Is still alive, noice

same problem here. it´s kind a loop over and over again the same secuence.

 

[Speppo82]

Same here, got that error and restart from the livingroom

 

[Rabonixxx]

If you sleep with nikki and taylor after the party, game ends with an error

 

[STATE_]

The attached saves might be necessarily. Loading a save worked... until i reached an undefined variable ruby_possible_romance.
looks like some of the variables changed and dev couldn't be bothered with a simple function to convert old saves to new saves.

then again... I am also experiencing variable errors on a brand new game I just started. can't report to dev since he has no easy place to contact in.

well, since we are restarting. I am just gonna cheat. found these useful variables so far:
MC_EXP
money
just add some digits to both

how did you do it

 

[MiltonPowers]

how find them

In the main game folder (Being_Super-0.20a.LIGHT-pc) there is a folder called "SAVES", not in the normal place you'd find saves folder.

 

[porngameguy5526]

please fix it keeps crashing at the same spot after the party

 

[walker188]

I really want this game to succeed, which is why I'm going to offer the same unsolicited advice again.

CUT DOWN ON YOUR WORKLOAD.

If you insist on having two different versions of the protagonist, fine. If its your unshakable vision to have a staggeringly large amount of player choice, I understand. But you could cut your static renders down by well over half by just NOT overdoing a scene. For instance, the MC is sitting on a couch in one scene, there's some dialogue and description at the bottom, then he turns his head, more description, turns his head back, we hear his thoughts, sits forward a little, one more line of dialogue.

Now if you guys had a reasonably fast dev cycle, I would say that's fine (completely unnecessary, but its your perogative), but this game is three years old and it has less content than some games released just this year. You're good writers. For scenes that are not visually dynamic, its okay to have only a single render, or at least far less renders than your currently use and more words instead. Not only would this emphasize your writing abilities, but it would cut down production times, allowing for faster releases or longer chapters.

Food for thought. I'll keep supporting either way.

then what else i do

 

[MiltonPowers]

then what else i do

Make sure game is closed.
Drag and drop the 'saves' folder into the 'game' folder. Overwrite if asked too.




If you have already opened the game, you will need to delete the renpy saves, if you haven't, just open game and go.

If you've opened game, click Windows button & R.
Type into the box %appdata%\RenPy\
Delete the folder called 'BeingSuper-1528208154'

Then open game and you're good to go.
