VN Ren'Py Blurring the Walls [v0.5.2] [Torimiata]

[sunnychad]

I've always been transparent about my use of AI. It's like any other powerful tool out there – it has its ups and downs, and I think it's going to be seen as just that in the future. Not all good, not all bad. It is quite accessible though and easy to get something out which is what I think bothers/scares people.

It's still very impressive - but It's not about replacing creativity or clicking a button and calling it a day. It speeds things up for sure, but there's still a ton of sketching, color blocking, and tweaking by hand to get everything looking just right.

Honestly, this game wouldn't exist without AI. Tackling the art for this project would be a full-time job in itself.

With some help I did train LORAs on my own art trying to keep it from going too generic and hopefully you can see that in the characters but perhaps it's my inexperience but I feel I can only deviate so much from the baseline without corrupting the output. In fact, I have seen some works that are not that far off from this artstyle - particularly in the way bodies are rendered (highlights/shadows)

Lately, I have been using my Cintiq more and more since there's more complex scenes (and complex here is not always obvious) but I can see how one could avoid that by adapting more the narrative to fit the tool.

One quirky thing about AI is the 'noise' it introduces into images, obvious giveaway. I leave it unedited as I don't care, but I find it amusing that scenes that were reworked by hand so much bypass AI detection altogether.

i just want to say i love the art and it certianly seemed intrasting, unfornatly im one of those people who dislike nts/ntr so i wont be continuing this. I'm only saying this to let the dev know i like this, i know everyone still here dont care about me leaving but i felt like i needed to say i liked what i saw for the most part. feel free to get the pitchforks and torches though, i wont complain. in canse your wondering why i even played it with it having the tag, its because i didnt check tags for once, when i saw ari? kissing terrace? thats what made me suspicise and check the commets to realze what i was playing (man i cant spell today).

Its okay bro, everyone has their own fetishes.
Atleast you are polite unlike some other anti ntr people.

cant wait for the next version ^_^

 

[Torimiata]

Posted a little something on Patreon to help with the wait

 

[YSEM]

I'm intrigued, apparently it's an update with a CG and another post with the same CG but with some revelation. I hope that in a few days someone will let us know what it is about. Keep the good work Torimiata!

 

[idkmanerally]

Torimiata you mentioned in a previous update:

"There are two key moments where this chapter could wrap up, and I'm still deciding between them. Ideally, I'd love to reach that second key moment, but...

The ETA for 0.5.0 might vary quite a bit depending on which path I choose. I'll keep you updated as things become clearer."

Where did you decide to end this chapter, the second one? Since it sounds like a big update, does this mean the new update will be roughly the same size as 0.4?

Your work with the AI is amazing, I had somewhat of a resistance to any AI artwork, but after seeing this game, my mind opened a lot and became much more apt to accept AI art, not only on this game but on other arts on the internet and other games too, so thank you for opening this door on my heart

Hey everyone,
I'm full speed on the artwork. There's some complex scenes that are proving to be a bit more time-consuming than anticipated.
And... on the scripting side, things got pretty heavy - as usual Sorry!

It is a draft but after a lot of tweaking to ensure everything flows well and ends just right, the word count is now officially >30,000 words... Yep, that's a lot of narrative to cover!
This means the deadline is starting to look a little tight. Unless I decide to cut some content (and you know how I feel about that), and even editing takes a fair chunk of time...
As always, my aim is to prioritize quality over rushing things out. I’d rather take a bit more time to ensure we’re all happy with the final product than to compromise on the game's quality but I'll do my best.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!

I'll leave you with a fun little tease: On the way to the party, Terrace suggested the girls to go up the grand staircase first... I wonder why

(someone keeps forgetting something... wonder what)

 

[kristo0086]

It would be cool if Ayumi took off her panties too. It will be an amazing sight through a transparent skirt.

Well I'd rather have less words and more CG as it's a "Visual Novel" (show don't tell if there are too many words then it'd rather be just a novel). I'm hoping the words aren't just "ooo00000h, aaAAAAAhhhhhh, so good!, you are so pretty, you are so beautiful!". hoping to get alteast meaningful conversations between the characters and not just prolonged conversations. The pic is a good teaser though pretty sure Terrace might have also showed his hard on ^_^.
Still looking forward to it to see how it goes.

 

[Lolikanion]

You know, I completly forgot that the whole dressing room scene was because we were invited to a party if I remember correctly.

Excited to see what happens next.

 

[Karcosa]

That Teaser! holy... art in this game keeps just geting better 30k words is nice, this tag and this game will never work withtout good writing, and this game has that, the art and the great scenes that have been improving update after update, so i will preff to wait for quality 24/7.

 

[XerxesM_]

I wonder what is the latest cg preview is all about. Damn, hoping someone would share it.

 

[Tecton]

Yup, toga party.

Hosted by a pervert, according to Ari.

 

[YSEM]

I suppose based on the coloring of the CG's shapes, it is the same CG but without the toga. I would also like to be able to see it soon.

 

[Joshy92]

I can't wait for Terrace to give Ayumi the fucking of a lifetime.
Hopefully I'm there nibbling & sucking on her ears when he unleashes a massive load in her fertile vagina.

Yes, it will be cool. We will take a picture of this wonderful moment and put the photo as a picture of the phone's desktop.

 

[Torimiata]

Thanks everyone for the support! The story moves slowly but it will get there at some point.

I want to play this update and the previous update now, but when I played the game (update 0.4.2), none of my galleries and cgs are open in the gallery section! Did the developer in the previous update or this update announce that we have to play from the beginning? The saves are still there and there is no problem

Gallery support was introduced on 0.4.2 so that's normal. Your saves still work but it's just the gallery that is locked since it literally didn't exist before.

Going forward that won't be an issue as it will unlock as you move through the game but for anything that happened before you can either use the Unlock button or simply replay.

Good news is that I'm sure you will most likely have missed a scene or two

Great image! Is this ai generated? If so please share what tool/app - I’m a total rookie at this stuff.

Can’t wait to see the exploration of this kink in the game. I have to say the pacing and suspense are top notch. Torimiata just keeps consistently delivering. I know some people are sleeping on the dialogue but the writing adds some real substance and just continues to tease out the story. Love everything about it!
