Ren'Py Abandoned Defective Sexbot Chop Shop [v0.4.1] [Radnor]

[Daedalron]

Very nice for a start.
Obviously, you'd want more diversity for the bots, and in the long run, you'd want the option to create your own models (by user mods).
Maybe someone talented in Computers should be able to tweak the psychocore to program new traits?

For small QoL improvements, you'll want: an option to visualize the bot before buying it (to check if it has traits, or even just the looks of the model when you begin the game)
For the parts buying, add the rank of the item (B-C-D-E), as again, new players have no idea if InVox/3.1 is better or worse than Aria.

Looking for feedback to decide how to develop it further.

Browser version have static images instead of movies. This is RenPy limitation. Offline versions have everything as intended.

Known v0.1.1 bugs:
- canceling repair order will end in crash, don't cancel, fix will be deployed with next version

This is absolutely fantastic so far and I hope you continue development. You've got the groundwork already laid out for having defensive robots trained in combat for getting attacked as well as future hacks on your own robots that you need to debug to avoid them running away, stealing parts, or ruining your mood by going haywire while they try to help you "relax."

Of course more variety in the bot models and movies will always be welcomed.

Technically it can be done, no problem.
Content is an issue here. If game become popular i will likely opensource it or at least make it easy to mod. People will be able to add whatever they want. Replace real porn with Daz renders. Add futas. Add furries. I mean sexbot is not a real person, so anything will be fine with in-game lore.
Maybe i will split models assets into separate packs, with choice to use real porn or daz/hs. Will see.

Daz renders would honestly bring this game a lot further. each different robot type having a different model, the modifications you give them can change their appearance and the defects can be visible. it would just be amazing but that does seem like a shit ton of work to do

Indeed, consistent dedicated art is always better option. I guess will have to look for 3d artist. And add "make sample mod for people to use as template" to my todo list sooner than planned.

Just in case: IF YOU ARE 3D/DAZ3D ARTIST AND LIKE THIS GAME, DM ME OR FIND ME ON MY DISCORD, working with person who actually like it surely will be easier.

For right now are the selling points just the club for 50k limit and the market?

Yes, right now you can make money from bots selling them to club (50k cap), market (cheap) or disassembling for parts.

There is no way to gain socialize xp for metzger. If you do not give any at the beginning you are stuck at zero.

Yes, for now you can't rise it in game. Method to rise it by "reverse training" social-skilled bot from Dump or Flea Market will be in next update. More methods will be added as content is produced.

 

[Erar]

Played it for it bit and I gotta for a first release it's very nice good luck with the project

Can't replicate, never had similar things during testing. If you get this again, please save after/during bug and send.

I went to go fetch you the second save i made that i thought had the bug in it, it did when i wrote in about it. But it seems that since then i have restarted the game and loaded the save all the parts returned to the way they where supposed to be, I would say it might have just been a visual bug but then the eco skin ripping seems a bit more than just the wrong thing being displayed.

I will keep an eye for something potentially causing this when will go through related code. Thanks.

This is the first time I've seen my version of unrpa have heartburn with an rpa archive. And that includes the ones that have been sabotaged by Japanese gamemakers that forced me to switch away from rpatool and then override the format detection. Are you sure your packaging process didn't have errors?

Nope, dscs.rpa size is 11,515,719

Well... You are first person to mention something like, so...

Some of them can be found only scavenging at Dump Site.
And agptech is AGp-Val.

Pretty fun game! A bit less UI grind would be nice - less moving around menus to do stuff. I do appreciate that you've put some thought into the quick keys!

More sex content and choices would obviously be fun, as would some kind of events (maybe there are but I didn't see any? I accidentally cancelled a repair order and lost a lot of playing, so I'll wait until the game has a bit more meat on it to play again )
