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

[DiPeppo]

Yes. Thank You. I don't care if the hymen isn't intact as long as she isn't shoving toys/stuff up there, fingers from mastrurbation is almost inevitable while growing up anyway.

Perfecto then! Thank you for the reminder to add that tag, and thank you for the kind words.

I do want to say though: the game is not awfully long (not gonna be a few hours in length), and it doesn't feature in lewd scenes yet. If any of those is important to you, I would recommend holding off a bit until later. But if not? Then it's up to you. Thanks again!

 

[CoolDude4444]

Now I can't wait to play this game even more than I wanted to before. Lewd scenes or not. I more enjoy story oriented games with bonus sex than sex oriented games with bonus story.

Patience is hard when you actively keep pumping out superb quality updates But seriously, this game is well worth the wait considering the fact that you account every minute detail (such as time on the clock during Irene's introduction)

Hi, Does this game need any type of Walkthrough mods to make sure no content will be missing or is it not needed?

Hey there! The game is fairly short now, so I haven't thought about building a walkthrough mod yet. The branching isn't exactly crazy yet - you can still fit the whole game into one page of saves (9 slots) and you will do just fine.

However, as more contents are added, I will be sure to create one.

I do have a basic point guide that can be found here. As it stands in the current build, you can get the following RP/LP:

• Remi = 5
• Meredith = 2
• Kat = 1
• Val = 2

You'd be a legend if you managed to create a walkthrough, especially considering that you're using custom choice boxes instead of Ren'Py's built-in styles.


Something a bit unrelated to the above discussion... I'm curious to know if Kat's love arc will involve starting a family with her all things considered. She's very nurturing and clearly concerned about her age, not to mention extremely adorable. It's also made evident how much the decline of her family own foster home affects her. I think giving her a family to take care of once Remi and Meredith become independent (if that is part of their character stories). It would also provide Kat's solo arc with a unique ending, unless such type of endings are also planned for the others (e.g. Remi or Meredith).

Edit: For some reason I put "6" for meredith... my brain likes to torment me.

Thanks slick for helping out! And nah, I have to create walkthrough for that exact reason because I'm using custom choice boxes so no one would be willing to create an in-game walkthrough mod.

For Kat...I want to spoil but I won't. Something is just better with first-hand experience - it will give folks something to look forward to. I promise it will be nice!

Oh speaking of which, I forgot to post this here. Just a collaboration between April (an awesome HS2 artist) and myself.

I joked about the GTA logo last time - so this time, I wanted to try it out and surprisingly, it looked pretty good! I might do one for the rest of the gals too.

While this may just be coincidence, I do find it interesting that Ezio and Irene have nearly identical eye color:


A more skeptical person than I (*cough* *cough*) could go as far as arguing that Ezio's unnatural talent for coding could be related to him being some type of synth as well...

Okay, all joking and references aside (sorry about the Fallout 4 one...), Ezio's updated appearance is by far the most appreciated aspect of the updated visuals. Not saying he looked bad before, but most devs that use HS2 as a base for renders usually only care about writing the story rather than working on the visuals as well.

Below is probably one of my most favorite scenes so far:

Thanks, slick! Of course, I couldn't stand the default looking ass males in HS2, but overediting them and we have a dude straight out of a Picasso's painting. You probably have seen me using another model that has a similar face as Ezio now (not as defined as Ezio's face is now, but has a similar base), but slapped on a long hair style for him. My stupid ass really thought that it was a bright idea. In hindsight, based on everyone's comment here and in other places, I decided to remaster him along with Chapter 1.

But I think it still very much depends on folks' preferences. As much as I like Ezio's look enough to use it in Cyberheart; I know some folks don't like the way he looks. However, I also know that not everyone likes coffee and not everyone likes tea - and I respect their preferences. Besides, his look is only a part of the game anyway.

Not all of us are born with the talent of Michelangelo I wish I would've kept a few screen grabs of the initial release to show the massive improvement to those joining in during the later chapters... The main thing though is that I honestly think that HS2 brings a certain charm to a story that you lose out on with Daz/Blender assets. Characters like Remi would be way more difficult to pull off the cuteness aesthetic since that style poorly translates to more realistic looking models.

I think I can still pull it off actually. It will just be like the cast now but with better skin textures, better eyes textures, etc. You are right that they shouldn't be ultra-realistic, and they will be pretty mixed between the styles of HS2 and DAZ. I think Remi can still retain that cute look in the Blender render, like the GTA one.

But as you said (and as I just mentioned), if every detail is ultra realistic? Oh man, that would look freaky with the HS2 models. I'm honestly still testing out what the sweet spot is for the casts to look how they look now, but with more refined details - at least not with plastic skins, with Roblox hair, and the other usual suspects.

The first collab with my buddy Mei. I'm really proud of his progress he's made in HS2, so I just wanna share the piece with everyone here too!

I look forward to that too, if he does one day!

Just played the game and I must say I liked it a lot. I'm very interested in what's coming in this story.

That said, I saw the dev mention somewhere that he is shooting for around 15 chapters-ish. So considering we're already at the end of chapter 3 and nothing really happened, is this going to be a short game?

One thing I'm not a fan of is how the MC talks with some of the characters. Maybe it's just a me thing, but words like "fam" and "yo" just seem very weird to me. Could be perfectly well placed though.

Other than that, I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of everything, and I dig the setting as well as the presentation very much. That whole aesthetic and feel to the presentation just oozes personality and it hooked me in very well.

Due to that though, I'm having quite some expectations from this game. Looking forward to more of it.

PS: Hope at some point soon we can directly call out just how much of a bitch Meredith is being. But for now, I'll see where the story takes itself. Also hope we see more of Violet.

Thank you for your kind words!

I think in the end, Cyberheart will be longer in terms of replayability since we got more than a few paths. Even in one path, you will branched into several different options. In one sitting though? I think Cyberheart will be a medium-length game - not sure yet.

I’m on my phone and I’m outside so I can’t conveniently reply to everything, but you will have some more Meredith contents that explained her backstory better! Just curious, who’s your favorite girl so far? I know the game is not awfully long yet and you might need more screen time to decide, but I’m still curious if you have one!

I do and so far it's Remi. Not just because she's the "safe" choice or anything, but she's a spunky cinnamon roll. Her back-n-forth with the MC is pretty good (in fact I liked the dialog and references I saw a lot). It's kinda jarring how such a sweet thing is sisters with such a sour lemon.

I get backstory and all, but the way Meredith is going about screams jerk. But I digress. As of now Valencia is in second for me. I don't know if there's a reason for her heterochrome eyes (like something not that unusual in this setting) but they weirded me out at first. Felt artificial. She won me over with the character interactions though, like when she comes through with a favor to the MC even at the risk of getting chewed out over it.

I really like Violet's look but don't really have an opinion of her so far. Similar to Irene. I feel like I should like Irene more but so far I'm very neutral. This may change later.

Really like Kat as a character, but not so much as a LI. Just not what I tend to like in that regard. Still really liked her overall and the setting in which she appears.

Again, I'm really looking forward to updates. I might have some unreasonable expectations on account of sci-fi (and cyberpunk-ish) settings being extremely appealing to me, with Neuromancer and Ghost in the Shell as well as a couple other sci-fi works being among my favorites. Not that I'm expecting something bombastic or anything, but this setting is so interesting and offers so many possibilities that it just easily gets me going.

So...yeah. Looking forward to this!
