Ren'Py Completed Complex Society [v1.00.1b] [AbrokenA Productions]

[LGM]

Hey, hope you slept well.
Alright then. I think I've argued enough about it and got my points across. Thanks for your time. Keep up the good work. I'll keep an eye on it for as long as I can stand it. And who knows, maybe you'll change my mind and I'll be singing CS's praises soon. Finally:

(I'm not really a creative person)

I disagree. What you've written so far seems to indicate far more creativity than I have. Which doesn't mean much, but still.

Have a fantastic day, man.

Hello everyone, it's time for the weekly's newsletter.

For those of you who met The Game with v0.1-b, I usually do a "Weekly's newsletter" once a week talking a little about what's going on with the game and what I did last week.

(By the way, I did it again)

The SSB weeklies tournaments are 100% functional now. MC will be able to play against the best players of his city and travel to a total of 8 cities to prove who is the best Super Squash Brother player in the state. The cities will have different difficulties, number of players, inscription fee, venue fee and quantity and % of money for winning and by winning you will increase your popularity, but that’s something for the future.
I also started working on the CGs. It’s been almost 3 weeks since the last time I did it so I was kinda rusty, but my rustiness wasn’t a match for how rusty my notebook was (oh boy... I did half of Word of Light plus while waiting for it to unfreeze). My notebook (I call it Notty) it’s almost like a person with good days and bad days, hopefully tomorrow will be better. Right now I am working on Lucile’s event after what happened in the rooftop.

​

By reading people comments on this thread and other threads about other games/things in this forum I thought about implementing two "modes" to the game.

One of them will be playing with a Hint system where the options in the menu choices will show/suggest the effects of each option like adding/losing RP with a character and tell people about an upcoming scene. This Hint mode will be a waaay more hold handing experience than the regular game. I guess I could give player the option to use it or not at the beginning of the game and them turn it on/off in the Preferences menu. The only downside of this system (applies only to this "mode" and not the regular game) would be that I won't be able to explain ALL the repercussions of every option so I guess just a regular WT on a PDF would be better.

The other "mode" I thought would be an option at the beginning to play the game as a VN instead of a Sandbox. I saw a lot of people saying that they avoid Sandbox games as the plague so this would be a good way to "please" both audiences. The downside of this VN mode (also only applied to this mode and not the regular game) would be that some parts of the story won't make too much sense like for example: How would you get to be the best SSB player in the world if you never had the free time of the Sandbox mode to train SSB? Jenkins will play a big role in the future but why would he do anything for you if you didn't spend your free time helping him? I could put a clarification at the beginning of the game warning about this one.

And the general downside of those two "modes" would be that they will take time from the original game (because those modes wont code themselves) so let me know what you think about it. That's all for now, thanks for reading.

Hi, I don't know if you are still stuck at home but after breakfast you have to do the dishes and then talk to Alice outside, after that you have acces to the main map

Gotta hunt for the dishes in the kitchen just like you did with Mr. Coin.

As much as I like the idea of a hint system, if it means less time being put into the regular game, then I don’t want it. It would be nice to know for certain decisions, but then again I always save at choices I feel are important anyways, so I suggest that you focus on main game first. Try and atleast finish the regular game before you start adding modes to it, otherwise the project won’t be finished until maybe 2 years later... anyways that’s my take on it.

Sandbox is a game when you have to click on where you want to go, correct?

If yes, I see it much better IF the game has a real walkthrough tha actually tell you where to go, in fact, the most popular games in the forum are all sandbox

I believe I did the dishes, but Alice never shows up outside. Oh well. I'll wait for the next release or something.

That shouldn't be possible but you are the third person telling me that and none of them gave me any info when I asked about it. Could you tell me, step by step, what you did before and after the dishes?

 

[AbrokenA Productions]

I just made this account to tell you that I like this game, the only thing I don't really like is Cody, I don't really know why, maybe it was because he had the first sex scene in the game (for me at least) or because he seems way too smug (again it may be just to me), so can we later get ride of him? or avoid him all the time if that isn't posible?

Anyway I'm eager to see more of this game and I'm even thinking of giving you some money if you ever make a patreon, so keep the good job.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

You aren't the first to think that about Cody. My intention with him was to made a guy who is able to do jokes on situations where he probably shouldn't joke at all but even with that he still is a good guy who loves Cadence and he is very happy to meet MC. He will be there for MC a few more times to help him achieving his goals but don't worry, his screen time will be nothing compared to the rest of the characters.

Hi, thank you for your kind words. What bug did you find in the gallery?

Sorry, no. I was basically clicking through as fast as possible to get to the good stuff.

I do remember one thing that was weird, but I don't remember if it was related to the dishes quest or not. I went out to the kitchen via one route and clicked on the mother and it was a nothing response. When I left and came into the kitchen via another route - the one with the parents bedroom, it triggered some event that didn't trigger before.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

When I converted the files to save space (The game was 1.6GB with .png and now is +350MB with .webp) I forgot to change the code in the gallery and that 'images/intro/b01_01.png' should say 'images/intro/b01_01.webp'. Here is a link with all the bonus content in the gallery:

EDIT: 08/19/2019

These posts are about me answering to a troll and his 5-7 account before I realized what was happening. Those accounts and their posts were deleted so now it looks like me multiposting a lot. I guess that guy liked my game that much, or maybe it was a coordinated attack by ICSTOR and DarkCookie because they think that my game will became a threat for their Patreon's income (?), who knows, a man can dream...

I won't delet them because I don't have any good reason to do it, but most of them are looongs walls of text and it can be annoying to scroll down so I put then in a spoiler box. There aren't anything worthy to read tbh.

LI = Love Interest. Someone the MC can have a romantic relationship with.

Most of their posts shows that they immerse themselves as MC, so they dont want to see the girls get with any guys regardless if its in the past or present. It doesn't really have anything to do with the story or "vanilla" or anything else.

 

[Deleted member 990101]

The MC can't get everything on a game just because it's the MC. Have always that sentence in mind. The MCs aren't superheros capable of doing anything they want (or everything the player wants). Saying that an MC should be able to do something just because it's an MC or because another MC in another game did its like saying that just because some humans are able to build a spaceship and send a man to the moon, you should be able to do it too just because you are also a human or because others humans did it (which I think all of us can agree that it's kinda stupid to think that). This MC can't stole Cadence, and even if he could do it he still doesn't want to do it if it means hurting Cody in the process, because MC is a really good guy.

Well, there's other ways around the Cadence issue and still keep the MC as a good guy. What if Cody were to suffer an unfortunate accident that ends the character's life? Suddenly there is the "widow" Cadence who needs special comforting and the harem is complete! Yes, it's cheesy, but just sayin'...
