VN Ren'Py Blurring the Walls [v0.5.4] [Torimiata]

Nice

New update this month ?

 

[mc loving VI]

Things I care about:

• Delivering quality updates
• Constructive feedback from actual supporters (patrons or not)

Last update: 200+ CGs, 40k+ words, multiple routes. Positive feedback. Support still double vs OG.

I get Day 3 timeline frustration - hoped for Party Arc by now too. But the work is there. Escalation already beyond OG too.

Some care more about in-game days than content depth. Check back when it's further along, it will get there.

To those dropping 1-stars while continuing to hate-reading this thread: You are not my audience, you are complaining a steakhouse doesn't serve tofu.

Game continues.

dev knows how to milk these fools. We'll get to the last abandoned point by 2030. Y'all better stay subscribed so the dev can pay his rent.

It will take 3-4 updates for any real action to happen. HL3 and the Winds of Winter will be out before that happens.

I get that we use this site to basically pirate these games, but most these devs get subscribers by the game being on here. This is basically how they advertise their game and gain potential subscribers, one of the main ways. I think there should be an option to vote ban a game from this site if the dev is obviously milking their subscribers.
Mods should make an option. Some games should just be removed.

There's already a system for that, it's called by several different ways like "consumer choice", "common sense" or "not subscribing", look it up.

Common sense, but it seems you're just ignorant. They support it so their project doesn't die, it doesn't matter if it takes 3 months to release an update or half a year like the legendary game "Being a Dick".
Who do you think you are to judge their decisions?
Go jerk off instead.

I don't get your logic: If the dev is milking his subscribers, this site is one way to get even, cause you can get the game for free. So, in consequence, removing the game here would harm all players (milked and non-milked). If you feel milked, you're free to express yourself on this site (as you did). For me e. g., a not-feeling-milked Patreon of Torimiata, I like to have this place for exchanging opinions. So NO, no kind of public game-burning on this site for me!

new update?

 

[TheGooseter]

I have a veery strong feeling that people coming on the thread to hate are so blinded by their bias of BtW being "exposition dump with no progress" that they either don't play new updates or hit ctrl through whole updates to try and find a sex scene with Terrace. They refuse to enjoy the product in front of them and are only here to complain.

 

[FMarshallboy]

Damn, are we back to complaining about updates again?

 

[Tinez82]

So how long before we get the APK?... I've been patiently awaiting this update and was kicked right in the nuts when I read APK: release at a later date

Hey everyone!

The public version is finally here!

After months of work refining the foundation, I'm excited to release what I'm officially calling v0.5.4.

Before you dive in, I want to be completely clear: this update does not advance the story.

APK: Later date due to size restrictions - see below for more details

What's In This Update?
Animations Completely Reworked:

• New animations added for all late-game content
• Older animations rebuilt with higher quality
• Higher resolution, proper looping, vastly improved color matching - the 3 key issues of the older ones

Now with more experience I feel like they're at a better standard.

Some might still need more cooking. But this should feel like an improvement across the board.

Scene Gallery:

• Finally! Fundamental feature that was painful to implement but necessary
• Check what content you might have missed & Replay moments

Note: Due to how these systems work, any content that you played before will be locked and need to be re-played. You can use Skip text to go faster!



CG Gallery:

• All CGs accessible (no unlock mechanism yet - keeping it simple for now)

Skip to Day Feature:

• Polished with timezone selection
• You can now, for instance, jump straight to Day 3 - Early Night and choose your route (Tease Queen / Balance / Sub Pet)
• Good for lost saves

Script Polish:

• Cleaning pass on various passages
• Improved flow and readability of some lengthier sections

Plus: Numerous smaller improvements I've honestly lost track of at this point.

Important Notes

⚠ File Size:
The game is now ~5GB due to high-quality animations.

I may need to create a compressed version for those with storage constraints, as I'm unable to build an Android version at this size.

Considering splitting the game into Acts in future releases to make it more manageable but haven't decided on the strategy here yet.

I need to spend a bit more time on this one.

What's Next

Work on what I'm calling v0.6.0 is well underway.

November remains the stretch goal, but I'm being realistic - the delays from this public release have pushed things back.

Full development update coming this Sunday with more details on timeline and progress.

Good news: Now that this is out, I can focus entirely on new content.

Thank you for your patience while I got this polished to a standard I'm happy with.

The animations alone required significant time and financial investment (those render machines aren't cheap), but seeing the game come alive is quite fun for me.

As always, this is an early preview - please let me know if you encounter any issues! A lot tweaks were needed to make the Scene gallery work so I'm hoping I didn't break anything.

Thanks for your continued support!

Cheers,

Tori

It's quite annoying as I have to do a special compressed version of the game... I have to figure out a better process.

Like the post mentions - story wise - this is the 0.5.35v2 but with a few extra goodies.

Next content version is still work in progress but I'm glad to get this one out of the way.

Awe man you just made my day! Went from a swift kick to the nuts.... to nice brotherly hug. Thank you and much appreciated
Very much looking forward to upcoming content

Am I missing something or is there no Full Screen Option?

I'd just give up on this one. Go to the front page of this post, download the old version and look.

This is beyond milking. They milked the original game to hell (it still has basically zero NTR content), then abandoned it to rework the entire game as AI CGs. At the pace of the release schedule (just released a rerework today), there's a looooooooooooong way to go before they even have to start writing new plot.

This dev needs a manager or something. Anyways, im not going to bother with this update. Cheers folks.

 

[Mori91]

I like those gallary update, at least you can go back and look at some screen you missing out but i do hope there will be update on next day after hot tub thing.

 

[REFZ1150]

thank but.... 4.75gb with mega wait for other link...

 

[TheGooseter]

W quality of life update. Still not a big animation guy but the attached gif of the new animation looks pretty smooth so I'm excited to see how the other scenes look.
