VN Ren'Py Abandoned Connected [v0.2.5] [ChainZero]

[AlphaBit]

No release date yet. It's coming along, but I'd say I'm still less than 50% done with things. At the pace I'm currently going, I would like to give a release date in August, but please, don't quote me on that. That's just me being very optimistic and I'm usually proven wrong. Also, it's both remastered old content and new content, but the bulk of the new content will be in Chapter 1 and it isn't even that different from what you've played either.

Instead of a revamp, think of it like an expansion with remastered scenes. It will also include the 2nd part of chapter 3 as well, which I think may be a bit longer than the update of v0.2.5.

no offence but sex scenes not involving MC will be considered as NTR by some people and then their will be riots in this thread even if its lesbian scene its a waist of time cuz players don't like lesbian scenes in which the characters involved are not their LI. Anyway its your game do with it what pleases you.

Please just put "some" in front of the "people" in the lesbian scene so it doesn't become a discussion. Because I almost started one.

Just a suggestion but please don't show us a bunch of sex scenes of other characters and then tell players they can't have the female participant. The amount of angry posts that generates is exhausting, too many people think that the MC should be able to fuck every woman in every game. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people out there who are going to be disappointed that the MC's bio mom is not available as an option. The reason I am personally against the idea of showing sex scenes of other characters is the amount of time spent rendering the scene. I want you to spend the time and energy in other areas...

Unfortunately I have seen too many games where a developer has removed or altered a scene (even when it was important to the story) due to negative feedback.
Even if the developer adds notes to the OP stating : 'there is no NTR, a love interest will never cheat on you, but there will be woman who are in a sexual relationship with others', people will complain.

Guys never forget the 6th axiom of euclidean geometry: somebody will always complain.

I really hate it when scenes are removed or change because of people complaining. Hope dev feels free to do whatever he wants (read subliminal: more Charlotte content)

And the NTR police finds NTR no matter what you do. It is like the inverse of causality. They establish that NTR exists and later find something to which they attach the NTR tag to. It is almost magical.

Ok, I know my knowledge on NTR is not up to par as pointed out by someone else in another thread, but... WHY? What does NTR has to do with whether a sex scene involves MC or not?

Oh I second this and I'm voicing it out loud. MOAR CHARLOTTE CONTENT!

Holy Bacchus MrFriendly AlphaBit

By all means....let em riot! I think I'm a nice guy, but I actually pride myself in being an apathetic asshole and you'd be surprised to know how little I care about the vocal minority's hurt feelings. But I understand you guys don't wanna see any of that foolishness here cause it makes visiting the thread not fun.

Right now, I have no plans of making any sex scenes with Gloria, and I'm definitely not sacrificing the development of the others just to give people a Gloria sex scene. Ain't happening chief. If it happens, it happens organically.

I just want everyone to remember, we all have ignore buttons for a reason. Don't get bated into responding to people who got their feelings hurt. All you'd be doing is stoking that flame.

 

[Gabriel0316]

I totally agree with ChainZero, personally I see no point in making some character sex scene if she/he's not main part (yet?) of the story , but still for some user's sake it can be a shower singing scene or whatever, just to please some users with a milf's nudity

In other words, just keep up the good work and hope not to spoil this great game with a "fuck em all" clichee...

 

[SpikeZg]

Seeing that gorgeous render of Vanessa that Mr. Vargas made i would like to ask ChainZero when are we going to see this beautiful creature next?

 

[AvatarStormBringer]

Will it be too much if I ask for a Charlotte render from Mr. Vargas?

Oh, you don't have to ask All major characters will have their chances multiple times. You will see Charlotte, Michelle, Nicole, more Ayana and Venessa. Also I have something special in my mind. But you have to wait for it.

You should put your art on DeviantArt so we can follow you there

Hmmmm, how bout the second half of Chapter 3? I said previously she won't be in it, but I changed up the chapter some time ago, before I even planned a revamp. The first half of Ch 3 focused on Ayana so the second half you will have the choice for more Ayana or spending some time with Charlotte and Vanessa. Don't expect too much to go down, but I think you'll enjoy it.

And I was thinking you having a battle with DPC on render releases this week.

Tbh I'm not planning to put my artworks on DeviantArt. At least not yet. But I'll open my own gallery thread in here, F95Zone Fan Art section. With that thread opened you will be able to see all my creations.

And I am very good with my MC spending the rest of his life with Ayane unless the rework totally fucks with their relationship. Looking forward to seeing it all

Damn what did I start? Lol it was only a joke didn't think people would seriously remark on it. Obviously the 3 characters in the main menu's are the main if not the only romance options. But you can't complain about more open options even if they'd never happen or even make sense.

Nah, we know you were joking but there are plenty of people on this site who think "all female characters must be fuckable" . Last thing I want in this game is for the ridiculous argument raging in other threads to bleed over to this one. Especially if there are sex scenes of hot women who the MC can't fuck. Of course, it is all up CZ as to what he wants to include.

Yeah, the last thing we want is the ability to walk into a coffee shop and fuck the waitress...

Wait a minute...

You can't blame those people though for wanting those things. Any gamer, whether it's a game where you fuck females or not will never complain about additional content in a game they enjoy even if said content isn't necessary to the gameplay or story. Like while the skins in Fortnite aren't needed for the experience who's gonna complain about dressing up as Thanos? (That was a terrible example, it's the first thing to come into mind....I don't know why, don't even play it)

I'll be honest with ya'll, I tried starting a Dev Report/Preview at least 4 or 5 times for the last 2 or 3 weeks but never really knew what to say. Why? Cause there isn't much good news to report, I guess? It's more so just been frustrations during the development, and I like to try and keep posts positive. So I'm just gonna talk about some of the feelings I have right now today.

I've sort of been stuck in purgatory for a while now. In development as well as in daily life and they sort of blend together making for an exhausting process. Imagine being in a movie and you're just constantly taking a mental beating every few days. Nothing serious or overly dramatic, but just annoying enough to make you wanna sleep it off. And then you come to do what you love and for some reason, everything that worked before begins to work against you. If you're me, you'd probably be looking for a wall to punch through.

Preparing for the revamp has been quite the hassle to say the least. Creating environments, all that kinda shit. Long story short, I'm convinced Daz Studio hates me. Rendering has been extremely inconsistent for me the past few weeks which has caused me to restart rendering time and time again to find something that works.

Remember all those tests I did in preparation for the revamp? All of that was to try to make the rendering process run smoothly. Obviously, that failed. So, the only report I have for ya'll currently is that I'm still rendering Chapter 1 because I needed to go back and find some alternatives. Had this shit not started happening, I likely would've already started the second half of Chapter 3. Disappointing, frustrating, but, I'm working through it.

Daz3D has a tool called the "Scene Optimizer". I'll have to look into using it. It probably could've solved a lot of my problems ages ago but I never really cared for anything that, to my knowledge, wasn't directly impacting my scenes. Obvious dumbass mistake is obvious.

But anyways, I'm getting good results (for now anyway) and the preview above is proof of that.
Earlier this month, I changed some parts of the first chapter, which is also evident in the preview above. In my view, too many games have characters working in a bar or a cafe. I believe this is because of the wide abundance of cafe environments the Daz store has. There's a lot. So this time, Chris and Ayana are working in a clothing store, more specifically a shoe store. Where I live, a lot of people my age work in these clothing stores, so might as well reflect that here. Michelle and Charlotte will still be in a cafe though.

Most of you might already recognize the environment I'm using, but I did edit it a bit to make it look a little newer. There will be more to see soon.

Let's hope for some smooth sailing from here on out.
