VN Ren'Py Cyberheart [v0.3.5 (Extra 1)] [DiPeppo]

[slick97]

Hot damn, this dude reads me like a book.

I'm sorry! I get a bit excited at any chance I have to nerd out about this stuff haha (given my profession tends to be a bit rigid).

What kind of person will he turn out to be?

Well... he could pull an Anakin and turn genocidal.

Jokes aside, my best guess is he fills the every day super hero role. What I mean by that is he's your average person that takes the chance to do something extraordinary when given the chance. It's a character archetype that resonates the best with the audience as most tend to be kindhearted when given the chance.

A couple of characters that fit this exact role come to mind:

- James Holden (The Expanse)

- Commander Shepard (Mass Effect Series)

- Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)

- V (Cyberpunk 2077) (Not necessarily kind hearted, but does extraordinary things nonetheless)

- Bilbo Baggins (Hobbit Series)

Each of those characters all come from a rather tame background, but when given the opportunity they perform some of the most impressive feats without falling into some trope. In my opinion, they're my favorite stories to explore

Emm I don't know about many of those, but Commander Shepard is anything but your average person. Like not even close.

First and foremost they are a N7, which is established to be borderline impossible to achieve. Second, no matter what is the background you choose, Commander Shepard is assumed to be quite formidable by the very beginning of ME1:

-Survivor: you survived a situation that killed everyone.
-War Hero: you were the sole reason a planet hold its own in a conflict.
-Ruthless: you are known for getting the job done, no matter what.

Just to make sure, since I'm dummy in using the site - you cannot use embed GIF in a comment, right? Or can you?

I think I had used them in the past. At least, I remember using a meme that is only funny if it moves.

After every update, there's me working on the backlog of custom renders...

Spoiler: Render, I guess.

For real though, I enjoyed working on these, it's just that sometimes I wanna go 200% on the game itself to wrap up the update Development has already started for Chapter 4, and I am aiming to cut down on development time - as for the release date? That remains a mystery.

Since the update is out for almost a week now, how's everyone been liking it? Anyone needs answers or help on anything?

I should've clarified in my post that I meant people who were born ordinary but became extraordinary (either throughout the story or as part of the backstory). But yes, you're correct in that becoming an N7 is extremely rare, let alone even getting into the N program in the first place.

Characters like Ciri, the Dragonborn, and others who are born gifted don't really lend themselves to interesting stories. They're fun to explore every so often, but it's far more interesting seeing how a character without any special powers handles a situation (hence why I adore Callum from the Salvation trilogy)

 

[Ellyx]

Wonderful game, DiPeppo
Loved every part of it as I'm a seeker for Sci-fi/Cyber theme
Found the UI really cool,
Can't wait for more

 

[DiPeppo]

Thanks, Elyxus ! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

Ps: I have to ask but, holy hell, did you do that signature?

Yeah I did it ,
I just did Remi for now (as she's my favorite) but when I finished all the girls, I will probably post them here

My guy, you deserved some rewards or something for your work. Do you use Discord? I'm gonna drop something for ya!

Also, I can send you a more refined render, so the signature is gonna be even crispier

Nice game, i really liked the scene with the bass.

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words. Each girl has a "spotlight" moment in this update but Meredith with the bass was pretty bad-ass for sure.

 

[Elhemeer]

Okay, I'm early in chapter 2, and so far my only complaint is the Tsundre-to-be-a-Tsundre. I know you could say it's too early to have an explanation, but there's also too much "history" for her to have a "don't understand why she hates me" relationship with the MC. If the story had said she'd recently started to show distain for him, that would make more sense. But if she's always been this dismissive of him, even when they were kids, then he should at least have a clue by now.

Meh, it's not my favorite trope ... I've said my piece, I'm still interested. I'll finish the two remaining chapters at least. Then we'll see.

 

[Elhemeer]

Alright, I'm still gonna finish (probably), but not in the mood for a music quiz right now ...

Glad to hear that you are trying and enjoying Cyberheart to an extent!

About Meredith, the answer would lie partly in Chapter 3, and then a bit more in Chapter 4. I know you said that she’s not your type, but still, it you want an answer now, I can give that to you - just let me know. I can help with the music quiz too!

 

[MrSancini]

I can help with the music quiz too!

Or he can just rollback until answer the correct answers, that could work (well, I was able to get the "The Darkness" song correctly because I was kinda obsessed with the band back then... or at least I downloaded some of their songs on Kazaa )

Also, Meredith is kinda my favorite girl because, I like girls that aren't clearly head over hills with the MC at the beginning (one example from the top of my had is Jasmine, from Once in a Life Time) but actually warm to them on the long run.

My stupid ass forgot that rollback was an option...But nice! It's nice to have another person out there who listens to them too!

And yeah, some people like Meredith, some like Remi, some like Kat, we have folks falling for Irene, and others falling for Val. Some like combinations of some girls. We have different tastes and that's fine - because our preferences are shaped based on our experiences and personalities.

It's not really about needing the girl to already be in love with the MC, or even in lust. Apathy or annoyance with explanation doesn't even bother me. Just the "This girl always seems to dislike me and I've never understood why/don't know what I did/she won't tell me what's wrong" trope, especially when we the reader/player/watcher aren't given any clues as to why. It's my least-favorite type of character in any medium, and sometimes it's when I lose interest completely.

Then, that's the character I have to win over by trying to guess music I never even heard of? (I didn't try all categories, but ...)

Anyway, We'll see, but not tonight.
