VN Ren'Py Beyond Tomorrow [Ch.1] [Dream Games]

[MiltonPowers]

some players made it look worse than it actually was. I remember funny situation when player from here came to server and asked. Dream spent 15 minutes explaining relationship between mc and Samantha and then same player came back here saying something completely different than Dream told him

same as scene with Olivia and Sasha. players voted on patreon for it not to be skippable because according to them it was part of the story. when he removed the skip they complained that skip button was not there. lot of shit players criticize today are things they themselves demanded. it's funny

Gotta agree. Some people just have to find something to complain about.

I don't like forced romances/sex, but they are what they are. If they're bad, I delete the game and move on. I didn't mind Sam, I would have chosen her anyway.

People giving false information! That doesn't happen on F95 does it.

Then you've got the random girl completely unromanceable, making out with her partner - Oh no, it's NTR. A scene of Sasha/Olivia is not crucial to the story, but Dream puts it in for us to watch. If there is no skip button, use the CTRL and move on. FFS.

I just hope during the remake process, Dream has learnt to ignore the whining and concentrate on providing the game, he wants to provide.

Yeah very few games I played I liked a forced romance or sex scene. I didn't mind them in this game I felt like they were mostly forced for the sake of setting up a pre existing relationship and we would of gotten an option to dump Sam later if we wanted. ( not sure if I would of on my main save even tho I did love Sarah's looks) lol the only 2 LI I can recall. I also did like the Sasha/Olivia scene tho I see how it was unnecessary to set up their relationship.

No worries. I've actually been pretty interested in trying this one out. Mind if I ask you a question to get the conversation back on topic? I'm really curious just how different the chapter 1 rework is compared to the original version? I know the change log has a few paragraphs devoted to what exactly Dream did as far rewriting/retranslating the text, but is the story radically altered or is it more just extra polish and improved writing?

Huh, it looks like the guys have already told everything
Yeah, basically the plot of the first chapter remained the same, the details and composition of some scenes has changed, although the meaning remains the same. The quality of the graphics has improved, in some places quite significantly, many scenes look and sound much more natural and dialogues flow better. Sam is no longer the default mandatory girlfriend, although the sympathy between them remains. A new character has appeared, Chloe, Kimi's roommate, she is quite funny. In general, I liked it.

Agree, I liked Sam as well.
Though usually when players meet such forced chars they either like them and go along with it or they hate them. Not the first time, not the last time.

I had at least 2 situations where I didn't like forced chars, 1st one was edgy/annoying and 2nd one blackmailed MC)).. I simply deleted both games without complaining.

hmm, well, not fully agree, - if it's not crucial for a story then why put it in a game? for the sake of it?
I think if you have time to put in a game a scene that is not important for a plot, then you also have time to make it optional, especially if it's some controversial tag, for somebody it can be simply off-putting, just my 2 cents.

and yeah, complaining that it's NTR, that's just rediculous

I can see your point. Because she wasn’t li I didn’t really care. But can see where you’re coming from.

the game itself is very cool and very pleasant, the plot is interesting, the atmosphere of the plot plus the musical atmosphere and all in one, the straight mental and emotional story of the game was very cool and pleasant, it was all a version of the game for me personally

Renders like that make me sad there is no incest in this one.
But at least we get to look. And Mommy is HOT, HOT, HOT.
It would have been very difficult growing up in a house with Lily and Sam.
No doubt, there is many, many crusty socks under MC's bed.

Chloe is breath-taking.

Perfect mafia/narcoboss stereotype, you say... 'Cause he shot a teddybear with an arrow, five years ago... And did not take a blame for this... It was his sister's toy, by the way, and she was (is) the part of the family.

To put it in the most delicate way, your psychological analysis seems a bit superficial. Do you have siblings? If so, you should know that relations are quite often pretty complicated. Don't you have annoying neighbours? And we do things that don't make us proud, sometimes. What I understand from the game, the MC has changed a lot during previous 6 months - and he tries to act responsibly. Not as a narcoboss stereotype. At least my notion of a mafia boss is different .

Contrary to you, I find many true feelings and dilemmas in this game. Much, much more then in vast majority of games here. From this point of view, the game is outstanding, IMHO.

There is no justification for being a shitty narcissist.
Well written, success the author nailing that type.
Signs of mostly-incurable mental state, not a promising start.

Will be interesting to see a rabbit pulled out of that hat.
Best of luck Dev, i'm rooting for ya!!.

any news regarding update

 

[Kassandara]

Hello everyone! The dev log is a day early, but that’s just because it didn’t make sense to wait until tomorrow. Hope it’s exciting for some of you - there are a lot of previews coming up this time! Oh, and the dev log is public this time (every 10th dev log will be public)



First off... The scenes I had to redo because of the lack of VRAM are done and rendered. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t turn out the way I planned, but it is what it is. Anyway - it's done. Of course, I’ll share some images

Yes, Megan will make a brief appearance as well

At the start of last week, I began working on the scenes with Susan. I’ve got to say, this is probably the biggest scene I’ve ever done, and there are a few other characters that show up too, though I don’t want to spoil anything



What I can say is that this scene really gives us a chance to get to know Susan a lot better, and we see a different side of her compared to when she's in her doctor role. The vibe this time is a bit more relaxed, and I’m feeling really good about how the whole scene is turning out so far



I'll be working on the scenes with Susan at least until the end of next week. It's going to be a mix of creating and rendering, but we'll see how it goes. I want to point out that there are quite a few scenes with Susan. It's really... interesting



For those of you interested in the progress numbers... With what I’m currently creating and will need to render, I'll be crossing the 1,000+ images, which is about 40% of the chapter, and around 10,000+ words



Please take the following previews with a grain of salt. I'm not completely satisfied with the visuals, and there might still be some minor changes

To wrap things up, just a few more things:

• I’ll be doing a quick poll soon about something in BT, so keep an eye on Patreon and let me know your feedback afterward. It’ll be really important to me (patrons only poll)
• even though we're a small community, I was wondering if some of you might be interested in a Q&A. It could cover things like tags, love interests, the story, or other topics. Let me know in the comments if you'd be up for something like that

Thanks for the support, and stay safe out there! And if you're joining after this dev log - welcome, friend!
