VN Ren'Py Completed City of Broken Dreamers [v1.15.0 Ch. 15] [PhillyGames]

[Acsuka]

This is the best erotic Science Fiction game that I played until today. Good Work!

Welcome to the club

 

[TangerineTango]

Playing the game for the first time, what exactly are depravity points and will this lock me out of any paths?

no, just can open more options on sexscenes.

Good question. Depravity points were more significant in Philly's first title, Depraved Awakening, yet they are still a factor in City of Broken Dreamers. Depravity is required for certain sex acts to be open for the MC like the anal on the motorcycle scene at the overlook with Victoria in the later chapters and the BDSM scenes, like those with Shanlon and Teri. Lust points are also a factor in these scenes. Some scenes, like Victoria's anal on bike, will only unlock with the right quantity of lust and depravity points. There are minimums for both. For additional information on how many points needed and how to obtain them please consult the walk through document attached to the OP... It looks like this near the file DL section and is copied again here for your convenience... Extras: Fan Walkthrough

I hope this helps you, my friend. Welcome to the game! Adventure ever on, Phat

The scene with Victoria on the motorcycle at the overlook is solar flare HOT!!!

Dev Update #169

Going to see what these two together can truly do. Had a lot of trouble picking the shot featuring them for this week, but really love this one, even though it will leave some ringing in the ears

This week has been great, went full throttle on renders and animations, making tons of cool shots and effects. Really happy with it all. I think by the end of next week or early into the following I will basically be wrapping up and sending off to proof and Q&A.

So we are almost there. I will wrap up here since it is so insanely nice out and want to experience some of this nice weather.
As always guys, stay awesome!

I realize I should probably switch my brain off and enjoy the sight of two badasses ready to throw down, but I just can't help myself. You'd think Sonja of all people would understand the concept of recoil...

Ah, well. It's exciting to hear we're nearly finished with the cycle, though the numbers he's reported for this dev cycle seem well short of a normal release. That suggests that this update will be a fairly small one leading into the real finale in Chapter 15 (though it's possible he's supplementing the reported numbers with 'extra' content that was cut from Chapter 13).

Honestly, a short-but-focused chapter sounds like a great idea after the dull repetition of the last couple of chapters, so I've definitely got my hopes up.

i hope mc's mask has good earplugs or he will become half-deaf after firefight.

Well, it has to be shorter considering that the last installments took him 5 or 6 months to complete while he will wrap this one up in a bit over 3 months.
Yes, it seems this chapter will be sort of a bridge leading to the story's resolution. As you said, that's more than OK if Philly takes the opportunity to focus more on storytelling again.

Recoil is the least of her problems there since she can't even see past the MC's head from that angle, so she's just firing blindly anyways. She's really just using him as a human shield as she pretends to be helpful.

Yeah... not the recoil... Her muzzle is aiming directly at MC's rear site! Not only would a shot deafen him but would most likely shatter the site and the bullet sending shrapnel into both of them and everywhere else! She can hide behind MC's armor but needs to move that fucking pistol to a new point of aim stat!!!

Adventure ever on my friend, Phat

Say goodbye to your right eardrum Jake.
Joke aside seems like a june release is pretty much happening.

Well my best guess, they are sneaking in this scene not engaging.

No, I think that's just an optical illusion. It's hard to see because of the depth of focus blurring, but Judy is definitely closer to the camera than the MC's gun. Sonja's arm is nearly full extended whereas the MC's is close to his body so I think her hand is roughly even with his; she should have a clear field of fire. But that's about all she has going for her. Her eyes are nowhere near Judy's sights (even assuming she can see past the MC's gun once it starts jumping), her hand would be in for a beating if his gun needs to eject casings, and even Sonja's muscles would be hard pressed to hold Judy on target with so little leverage.

This is not a sound tactical stance.

 

[PapaPhat]

Most of what you had to say comes across as conjecture and makes me think you need an eye exam...
However, at least there is one point on which we can fully agree...

any news on a future update?

 

[AlienEDM]

Guys, I found an artist with perfect musics for City of Broken Dreamers. I think these musics could make an ambience just like COBD is. Check it out the whole playlist:

Asakura, you have development update literally on the previous page. I’ve quoted it for you.

It seems we are very close and it’s just a few weeks away, at least for higher patreon tiers

 

[PapaPhat]

Guys, I found an artist with perfect musics for City of Broken Dreamers. I think these musics could make an ambience just like COBD is. Check it out the whole playlist:

It's NOT royalty free music. It costs money to license this music and a contractual agreement with the artist/management. Many artists and/or management folks will not allow usage in adult productions as well, which is yet another consideration.

All of the musical suggestions I make to my friends that develop games are always royalty free. That means there is no financial cost associated with using that music. As long as the content creator acknowledges the music artist/producer in the game credits, there are no worries and no fees. Besides, it is rather late in the game to suggest new tracks now.

However, I do agree that this music DOES fit rather well into Philly's game world and Philly has already told us that his next game takes place in this same game world with a new cast of characters. Also, Philly may license some or all of the tracks he used in City of Broken Dreamers or possibly for future games. IDK if the soundtrack for CoBD is licensed or was contracted as commission work or royalty free. I just don't know. So, I do not mean to be overly critical here. I am just being realistic to better set your expectations. Whatever the case, you certainly have a talented ear for great music. I'm a retired professional musician and know a good bit about how the industry works but I still play by ear and improvise as well. Hahahahahahaha I hope this helps you, my friend.

Adventure ever on, Phat

Philly uses both royalty-free and licensed music. In fact, he has approached several artists in the past and sometimes got rejected because said artists just don't want their music to be in a lewd game, even if he could afford their license fees. But as far as I know, all the tracks in the game are legally purchased.

Two of the most beautiful sinthwave tracks I have never listened.
If you love the genre I would suggest also Lazerhawk, Miami Night 1984 and Flashworks.
