VN Ren'Py Continuum - Season 1 [Development Thread]

[LacostaHF]

Came across this thread seemingly by a stroke (heh) of luck.

The renders you've shown of the girls, look absolutely stunning. Bonus brownie points for having a few red-heads!! -- I do hope to see more girls with tattoos, is there many others? Possibly a redhead with tattoos?

I've read through the comments + your replies, and you seem VERY ambitious and open to some feedback and/or criticism which I can only say is a good thing, you have your ways, but also seem open to what the audience would like, which is awesome!

If it's taken 2 years so far, I do hope the updates following will be significantly shorter, as we know people here like to moan about long dev cycles.. That being said, I nor 95%+ of F95 have any real dev experience, so as long as you're as open as you are currently with how things are going, expectations can be set accordingly (not that it'll silence all the neigh-sayers).

Hope the progress is still going strong, remember to take breaks as/when you require, you're only human at the end of the day.

Really looking forward to seeing this game release.

Bookmarked this thread for future.

Yes, the speed of development is very important. I also want to play this game as soon as possible, even though I won’t be able to enjoy it as much as the players will. I know the game too well, so I won’t get the pleasure of novelty. The preparation phase took much longer than I had planned, but the quality turned out far better than I originally expected. I’ll try to make the episodes as quickly as I can. I do take breaks, but they’re very short. Only after the release will I take a little rest.

As for tattoos, I’m still thinking about it. It’s the kind of thing that can’t be undone. For now, in the story, none of the redheads have tattoos. But we’ll see if it makes sense to add them in places that aren’t normally visible. Besides, secondary girls will also appear in future episodes, and one of them might have something like that.

Thank you for your trust! It really gives me the strength to keep working actively. Ambition is just part of who I am. I don’t know how to think small. And without criticism there’s no growth — it’s essential.

The most dominant girl is still ahead. But I’ll also try to make the others flexible. As for multiple relationships, I’ve already said many times there won’t be any restrictions. Even 10 girls at once will be possible, but there will be consequences, since this isn’t a harem. The girls often conflict with each other, so you’ll need some creativity to handle it. It’s not a simple idea, and I’m still working out the logic of how it will play out. I’ll do my best not to limit anything, because the essence of the game is finding yourself through art, which means having as many possibilities as possible to create that art with the help of the girls.

As for fetishes, ass eating and more will definitely be possible with any girl. In general, fetishes depend on the main character rather than the girl. Each girl has her own personal kinks, but everything else will be available with any of them. I’ll try not to restrict myself when it comes to adding fetishes, but it’s hard to say exactly which ones yet, since it’s important that they fit into the story.

The game actually has two different playthrough modes. A regular one and the “Fallen Angel” route. The Fallen Angel path is made for players who want to remove restrictions on debauchery. In that case, the main character’s goal changes, and he’ll be able to bring almost all of the girls together in a single playthrough.

Sounds good and interesting for how the relationships work, but I do hope for some true throuples or poly for some where some might be willing to share or all be in a relationship together. No harem is fine but love some mutual throuples/poly, where everyone is together having fun or they are openly ok with it.

Also on top of this would love to see some possible lesbian play between the girls, during threesomes and group sex at least.

But thanks for the reply, excited for the femdom and many other girls and their relationships. I was very excited for this to game ever since I saw your first girl posted on reddit from you way back. Keep up the good work, cause you are doing great.

Thank you so much! As for lesbian interactions, there will be plenty of them here. More precisely, if the player encourages it, the girls will gradually become more open to doing such things with each other. Right now, I’m planning to implement three parameters for the girls: relationships, bisexuality, and Fallen Angel. And with each choice, the player will influence these parameters, gradually swaying the girls.

As for that fetish, it’s not included yet. Maybe later I’ll find a place where it fits.

I’m making the whole game on my own, so yes, it’s a lot of work. I do try to buy assets and plugins that can simplify or speed up my workflow, but there’s not much that’s really high-quality, so I have to create most things myself.

Hey, can you tell me about the tools(software) you use to make these renders and enhance their quality? Do you use AI?

No, I don’t use AI. When I mention plugins, I mean ones for simulating fabric, liquid, hair behavior, and so on. There are also useful scripts that help a bit with creating soft surfaces. By improving quality, I mean achieving proper character anatomy and making their interactions with the environment look realistic.


I use 3ds Max + V-Ray for rendering, creating interiors, and building characters. I use Ornatrix for hair, PhoenixFD for liquid simulations, Marvelous Designer for clothing and animation, and Substance Painter for texturing.

I've been aware of this project for a decent time already, seeing most of the reddit posts and commenting regularly. I'm a bit late here 'cause for some reason, I didn't think you'd have a thread here but of course you do. Best of luck with your project!

Thank you so much! I’m working on the game every single day, and I promise there’s plenty coming that will surprise you!

The game looks pretty good and I hope it continues to be developed.

Attaining proficiency in all of these applications must have taken a considerable amount of time. I initially was going to learn various different softwares (marvelous designer, zbrush, maya, etc.) but was too overwhelmed and just stick to blender.

I used to work as a 3D Character Artist in game studios, so learning these programs is pretty much an industry standard. Blender is honestly great, especially because it has a fairly simple soft body simulation system. In 3ds Max, that’s a huge pain and I still haven’t found an easy way to make it work properly.

Happy Hallowlust! I hope you’re feeling especially sinful tonight. We’ve got the perfect heroine for such a night. Her name is Chloe. Mysticism, occult secrets, and breaking every rule of decency — that’s exactly what she’s about.

In recent weeks, I’ve been hard at work on scenes and renders, as well as coding to make the interface as smooth and comfortable as possible for you. Right now, I’m working on a massive scene at the very start of the game, featuring 24 characters in a single location.
Closer to December, I’ll start posting new screenshots on Patreon so you can see what’s being prepared there.
