Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.06.00] [Aleksey90]

[PaxHadrian17]

Rendering new scenes with improved techniques or newer generation models is also obviously a good idea. However I don't think there's much value in re-doing most existing scenes. They are definitely more than acceptable already. The difference in visual quality between genesis 3 and 8 is almost not noticeable to me.

I agree - leave the existing scenes alone and focus on going forward.

I've seen a number of AVNs redo the hair and skin tone (tanning...) of characters so that it is easier to animate or better reflects where the story is now/simply improves the way various NPC's and the MC look.

If needed (and not used ad nauseum), they can simply drop in a narrative sequence... "Ann got a small bonus and decided to treat the ladies of the family to a nice spa day, including beauty treatments and a visit to a quality hair salon".

The only other issue is the timing of this change, so that there is no need to redo certain early repetitive sequences with the new models.

So if the changes take place on day 1 as mentioned.
This version of the game is now trash, you will need to start everything over.

Or am I wrong?

The reason I am asking, brings up another question.
Will the first release be just an into? Or will it have some actual gameplay?
If the 2nd is the case, I don't see how a timely release is really possible.

Some News:

About the game, I can only say that in the Remastered version of the game players will face almost a new game.
The changes in the game are not small.
The game will not be repetitive and boring for players who are worried about starting the game from the beginning.
Players will also see changes in the game process and this will not end only in the game images .

Spoiler: Some pictures of the Remastered version

I just saw the news. What does this mean as far as how long it will take

Aleksey90:
Another week or two

winterballoon:
what days of the game are gonna be in this update

Aleksey90:
The 1st update is the first game day. It is necessary to familiarize players with all the changes. If all is well, you can move on.

No Kira preview :-( I'm a sad panda Other than that if it makes the game flow better, less grindy and less likely to unexpectedly close all your options because you picked the wrong choice on day 4 I'm all for it

School Girl : I can't progress in my mission. I stayed at the nipple show. can you help me?

Is there any friend who can help?

Is there any friend who can help?

I'd try if I understood the question. What is the latest hint in this opportunity and what does the walkthrough suggest?

School Girl : I can't progress in my mission. I stayed at the nipple show.
Lisa shows her boobs. does not progress any further. other missions are waiting for this mission.

Not 100% certain but I think you need to talk to Kira next if you're where I think you are

What day, what time and where?

So you don't know what the hint says and you also didn't check the walkthrough.

"show boobs": during homework?
Then your next step is to get good at foot massages with Alice.
Check the walkthrough for more details.

How will I know if he has mastered foot massage? I constantly massage by the pool and in front of the TV.

 

[thy43]

3 missions got into a ridiculous loop.

The hardest part however is always to get started, to get the game engine going (not renpy, but the framework his game is based on, stat management, clothing system and so on)

Has he told which engine will he be using?

 

[Nemo56]

Has he told which engine will he be using?

There was no word about that, but the framework is most likely Ren'py, that's what he knows how to use.
I was talking about what he has to write to get the game running. No one programs every step of the game manually. That does not even work for linear games anymore. You build something you can work on top of. This base is the framework/engine I was talking about. And if you disagree with the term, that's perfectly find, what a "engine" is and what not has been a topic for countless debates.

 

[LuciferPrometheus]

I just hope this doesn't turn into where it all began. I don't mind the rework but am really worried about how long the whole thing will take.

 

[Arata20]

Oh, how long have i not been in this thread. It turns out that a remaster is already being developed lol.
A typical situation - do not know what to do? Start from begining.
I hope in a couple of years Alexey will start developing a remaster of the remaster.

He did not need to revamp the whole game, all he should have done was add on to the game. This shows that he had run out of ideas.

 

[Carla_BrownBB]

1 year later there will be another revamp. Too wrapped up in little details has become such a hindrance to this game.

 

[stp48x]

It blows my mind how many people still aren't comprehending that this shit is just a money making gimmick.

 

[Epicuren]

Never really the price of progress, just a price of the development not bothering to implement proper saved data upgrade and instead happily breaking things.

or include a new save-game with the update made during testing.

 

[Allen0206]

Sorry to interrupt, but could you remind me of which game this picture is from. Just recently I remembered this game, but I couldn't remember its name.)

Bad Boddy Saga I think
