Ren'Py Brothel King [v0.3] [Goldo]

[Foobert]

There was a release candidate for 0.2 posted a while back. Maybe this is the full 0.2?

[edit]

Nope, the HHS page still says 0.2 test release.

Maybe this is just putting the 0.2 d/l linked in the thread on the front page?

 

[Jman9]

No, it's still not the final 0.2. It probably is the full 0.2, however. But it's not quite stable yet.

Edit: There will probably be another patch in short order, since there are some serious progression issues with this one. Welcome to hobby game development, where things get done when they get done, and nobody even pretends to have a schedule. :/

Wait I missed something, was there actually new story content added or?

 

[Kite80]

Actually the story arc of chapter 2 is completed, but the plot of the kunoichi is just half-way and will be concluded in chapter 3. Meanwhile, Goldo has coded BK in new ren'py version and made a little graphical overhaul, that's why we're still looking for bugs and new patches will be released over time.

1 mozaic pic and two (seem) uncensored. is this game really censored? please say NO

 

[ArcanEWolf]

wow all the bk ini files of the girls are incompatible ... is there a way to update them without having to write every single one anew?

 

[Sural Argonus]

I am a member of the forum (Henthighschool, where HHS comes from) and this most def is a test build. It is NOT a complete version. It should be labeled as such.

Also patch notes:


So, what's new in this 0.2 test build?

• Girl 'mixes': You can now use the girl mix option from the main menu to create various mixes of girl packs (such as 'real girls' or 'bleach girls', or whatever you fancy). When starting a new game, you can then choose which girl mix you want to use for this particular game. No more moving folders around...
• Girl personalities: There are now 24 fully dynamic girl personalities from the 8 hard-coded original ones. Moreover, there is now more flexibility for girlpack makers who want to introduce their own and the system mixes well with the new...
• Dialogue system: This is a huge change in the way girl dialogue works, and it does basically nothing. Let me explain: All the girl dialogue has been changed from being hard-coded to being fully customizable, according to, among other things, girl personality or personality traits.
  You shouldn't notice any difference for now, though, because the dialogue has remained the same... But basically it means anyone can now edit BKdialogue.rpy and add or change whatever girl dialogue they want.
• Achievements: By popular request, achievements have now made it into the game. There are hundreds of them, so it's going to take a completionist a while to get all of them.
• Contracts: Contracts will fill the 'mid-term goal' role. Starting from Chapter 2, Scarlet the job girl will offer a choice of 3 contracts every month. Contracts have requirements like quests, but harder, and a much bigger payout. You have one month to prepare one of your girls and send her on a contract. If a girl matches all requirements for a contract, you might be offered a large sum by a potential buyer... Potentially making selling your girl a good choice, and maybe introduce some girl rotation.
• Difficulty settings: The basic framework for difficulty settings is now in place.
• Easier modding: Items/furniture, traits, perks, postings and spells are now included in their own .rpy file, letting modders change or expand any one of those categories without fiddling with BKstart.rpy (and having each update break their work...).
  On a side note, stat names can now be renamed in BKsettings.rpy, making translators life easier too.
• Various bug fixes: Bugs identified in the bug thread should mostly be fixed, however new bugs are sure to come up. Please use this thread to report on them, even if they are 'old' bugs.

What's not ready?

This test version is still missing some features from 0.2, however:
Events: Obviously, chapter 2 will have a lot of new events. They are not all finished, however. It will take time to complete them.
Custom personalities: Technically, the code for adding your own personalities through a _BK.ini file is there, but completely untested. If you're curious, here's how it's supposed to work:

Depends on what you're comparing it to. Anything in the last 4-5 months or so, probably not much.

is this game really censored?

It is and it isn't. The game steals a bunch of assets from several more and less known H games, and a lot of that is censored. There was talk of trying DeepCreamPy on some of the images at one point, but people either couldn't get it to work or weren't willing to bother.

Girl packs have whatever their creator want to put in them. Uncensored pics, censored pics, *censored*, porn stars, their wife, Pokémon... Mm, hamsters...


Anyway, all the pictures are freely changeable if you're truly offended. And most of the ones you see during a typical playthrough come from girl packs, and these are largely uncensored. Although I dare say most packs have at least one censored image and at least one uncensored image.

wow all the bk ini files of the girls are incompatible ... is there a way to update them without having to write every single one anew?

What do you mean, exactly? Errors? _BK.ini files not working as intended? Something else?

And what do you want to update? Most .ini files should be version-agnostic. They may be broken, but they likely aren't outdated.

...this most def is a test build. It is NOT a complete version.

You're right, and then you're less right. Anything labelled 0.2 is obviously not complete nor even near it. But even 0.14 was fully playable, and maybe earlier versions, too. 0.13 and below were before my time.

OTOH, the real question is "is it stable?", and right now, the answer is still 'no'.

Also patch notes:

This list is a little outdated. I think all or at least almost all the events Goldo wanted to include in 0.2 are in, and a few brave souls have been toiling away at the so-called 'community dialogue project'. It's not really ready, yet, but I gather it's maybe months away from an initial test release. Maybe.

The last "Stable" release is .15. And I was referring to "Complete" as in a complete .2 version.



As for the images...yeah...they are all recycled. Even Sill shows up from the Rance series...so...


I was tempted to make a girl pack out of DAZ3d models...but I lack the time, patience and a computer that isn't a steaming pile of rancid dog shit...

 

[Jman9]

Well, technically, the last stable release is 0.15b, not 0.15. There's a difference. A big one, in fact. One I spent like a week of my free time on about two years ago.

The current 0.2 is likely 'complete', as in 'feature and story complete'. It is not really quite stable, and probably gets some more balance tweaks, too. I made the mistake of complaining about infinite food stacking and now food does not stack. At all.

Sill isn't the only one. Gio/Keith, Kurohime, Satella, Shalia, Maya/Menad... Suzume is new in 0.2, and it seems that Kenshin is making an appearance now, too. Evenicle is also an AliceSoft game, and there's a bunch of gals from there as well.

 

[technojaguar]

This one has a ton of bugs in it.. right when I open the game

 

[ArcanEWolf]

What do you mean, exactly? Errors? _BK.ini files not working as intended? Something else?

what i mean with that is that not a single name is properly used everything gets randomized and even the specific traits dont work anymore

 

[Jman9]

It may or may not have. This one's on you, though.

You mean the clone girls? This is by design. You can turn a lot of that off in the .ini files.

Normally, if you want the girl exactly as specified, you need to look for an 'original'.

 

[DougTheC]

what i mean with that is that not a single name is properly used everything gets randomized and even the specific traits dont work anymore

For names, I typically run with Esc-Game settings-Misc, naming options for non-original girls, of Keep first name=Yes, Keep last name=No, Use .ini name settings for cloning=No.
There are some oddities for different combinations of defaults, but this works for me, and I don't usually have to edit the _BK.ini.

Traits have been moved to the BKtraits.rpy file for reference, and work fairly well, as long as you stay away from "always" traits that are non-essential.

Another list of the 24 personalities in ver 0.2 and the values for extravert, lewd etc. in game/BKinit_variables.rpy, "gpersonalities".

Some possible problems with existing _BK.ini files include:
## "groping her boobs" : Fixation("groping her boobs", short_name = "groping", acts=("naked", "sex", "bisexual", "group"), step=2, tag_list=(["grope"])),
is now
## "fondling her boobs" : Fixation("fondling her boobs", short_name = "fondling", acts=("naked", "sex", "bisexual", "group"), step=2, tag_list=(["fondle"],)),

Also, there is a new ver 0.2 fixation:
"cunnilingus" : Fixation("cunnilingus", acts=("service", "bisexual"), step=2, attribute="introvert", tag_list=(["cunnilingus"],["finger"])),

To those people who are using the lastest patch and are stuck in chapter3 from Goldo.

THANK YOU!

ty for the info.
so, basically, this game is similar to game that used real porn scenes? so the dev cant do much since they're not the one that create it?

is there a list about where those uncensored images originally come from?

 

[Jman9]

If you mean one of those HTML games, well, sorta. Mechanically, the two closest games to BK are Slave Maker and Whore Master. If you ever played one of those, you'll feel right at home.

The game essentially has three types of pictures: 'story', 'default' and 'girl'. 'Story' is the stuff used for, well, NPCs, random encounters, trainers, etc. This is where most of the truly noticeable censorship is because it's largely stolen from existing commercial games. This is fully under Goldo's control, he's just too lazy busy to hunt for better pictures himself.

Then there's 'girls', which is what 'girl packs' are. The variety there is immense, although the biggest focus tends to be on (more or less) popular anime/game/comic characters. But there are also VN girls, 'real' pornstars, some celebrities, furry critters (e.g. you can pimp out Pikachu, or a version of it, in any case ), etc.

And then there are the optional 'default' pictures that serve as fallbacks for when a pack lacks some type of picture. These also have a heavy dose of censorship due to the same reasons as 'story', but you can cut those out and just display different pictures from your girl pack. E.g. she doesn't have a 'deepthroat' image, so you get 'oral' instead. Or doesn't have any blowjobs at all, so you just get a picture of her naked.

is there a list about where those uncensored images originally come from?

If you mean the censored images, _neronero did some

You must be registered to see the links

. It's far from complete, and I doubt anyone - including Goldo - really knows the full list now.

 

[Jman9]

Getting this error when I have girls in the farm that are actually going to do something. Thoughts?

Can you share a save as close to this incident as possible? Because neither Goldo not I can recreate this issue.

 

[Siphonapteron]

The fuck? I was sure this was abandoned.

 

[KhaiFirst]

Hi, is Censorship can be remove? is there patch ?
