Ren'Py Abandoned Deviant Discoveries [v0.50.0] [Jan The Spider]

[Janthespider]

Good update with a nice progress for Harley, thank you for that, Jan!

For a bit of constructive feedback I would say that Lola was a bit rushed IMO. I think you intended to bring a new girl for getting more options through coming updates, and I appreciate it. But perhaps it would give them more meaning and "thrill" if you don't let them get too corrupted on their first update/introduction. I played DD the first time with v0.19 and it took me a while to get some scenes out of Yuki, Chrystal and the Dean, making it more satisfying during the process. Now we get our first "pretty little blonde" and five actions later she's sucking dick in the gym from three different guys. Although getting blackmailed by the MC she should have resisted more, I think.

Thank you for the praise.
I always welcome constructive criticism and I'm more then happy to discuss that, especially when it concerns stuff I can actually do something about.
So Lola, I added in October and I've been working towards adding onto her content, which means that the rapid progression we see in the game already, will probably be stretched out to the same pace of gradual build up we see with the other characters. Without it following some kind of formula or pattern, because I really want to avoid having the progress with one girl being to similar to the next one.

Another point is the diminishing use of the serums. I think it's a nice idea from you to evolve this game around the idea of a chemistry teacher and his experiments with mind/body altering serums. Just use it more often! We have around one or two serums per girl, marking evolution steps for each of them. Why not add more? Giving Lola a serum and forcing her into some kinky scenes to blackmail her would have been a good chance to show some sex scenes AND keep your meta theme of the serums alive. Harley gets one serum and I'm pretty sure she will get more, considering her breast size leaving enough space for "development". Use it more often, to give your laboratory more meaning and make some story arcs more "believable".

I'm always brainstorming more ways to integrate the serum role in the game, so as to give the game more variety without having to add on a shitload of work by redoing or remaking the scenes for each girl.
Like say if we added another level of body morphing serum to one of the already changed girls, that would mean having to dedicate a whole month to make around 5-10 scenes with her. So I've been jotting down some ideas I have, how I can go about having some fun content involving the serums which wouldn't take up all my time.
But really thanks again for your thoughts, it's always good to hear from someone who has some ideas for this game.

This game is good fun! Tons of hot content. Fantastic story and premise. Kind of a better Lab Rats 2, than Lab Rats 2. OK renders. Interface is way too generic Ren'py. A couple of interface annoyances. Patoned.

is there a specific order I must complete the corruption on in order to eliminate the apparent issue where Chrystal simply disappears from the game when you get her the sluttier outfit? I've played through multiple attempts and still she simply goes away after you have her change into the outfit. This new release actually has it where she changes into the outfit and you talk to her the next day and her avatar has morphed as if you've also used the body morphing serum when you have not.

I already investigated that issue but it seem to be an impossible state.

I would like to have a save to maybe crack that problem. I can also give you the proper commands to run to fix it.

I've got a save file from just before I speak to her about the clothes but I've not attempted to upload files here yet and don't think I even have permission according to rules here

 

[Macari]

I couldn't open the console so I deleted it

 

[Tyrranus]

harley was an instant favorite for me, loving this one, yuki was pretty awesome but it was harley that earned you my money Jan Glad to have a couple toys in game that have more normal body styles too. The first ones were a bit over the top into the atomic tits/huge ass bimbofication style for my tastes. All the character's personalities are pretty well thought out tho.

 

[grarmyofone]

Yeah, losing characters seems to be a trend. I’ve lost both Chrystal and Yuki after giving them new outfits. The console commands and updated .pny files haven’t helped in my case. Otherwise the game is awesome. Can’t wait for future releases and hopefully push past some of these bugs.

 

[ngine523]

i got a problem that may(???) be a bug... maybe... i am on day 150 and focused purely on harley! still i am not able to choose "distract her while she reads" or "do some poseplay with her"... even tho the last 50 days i just chose to "make her show off for you"... and her obedience doesnt change at all... what am i doing wrong? (as fyi: even tested that out with the console variables giving me "unlimited" money and serums...)

If you can give me the fix, that'd be appreciated

@Janthespider :
Did you considered using integer instead of boolean to set the state of the girls ?

It seem to me that it would be an easy way to remove any issue with those cases of impossible states.

While adding the need to keep track of the meaning of each values, it would probably be easier to manage in the long run.

When it would not be retro-compatible with old save, the inconvenience would be overcome with the robustness.

Am I overlooking something ?

Hey there!
To be honest with you I haven't really given it any thought, since with me being a complete coding novice, I have to confess I don't even know what you mean. :S

One of my goals for my patreon campaign has always to gether enough funds to be able to hire a coder since that would mean that I could spend more time on story writing and artwork.

As it is now though, a lot of time gets spent with me trying to fix the bugs that are bound to come up as the game expands and more triggers and values get added.
I've mostly been trying deal with it by simplifying the code, but with limited luck. So for some people it works, for others it keeps spitting up older or newer scenes.

I imagine you've looked through the code, since you seem to know what you're talking about. So If you have any ideas as to how to fix it I'm really all ears.

I'm not a code expert, but basically, right now, the girl's states are all a series of binary flags as I understand it. They're either on or off. Instead, the girls state could be coded as an integer, so instead of it being like:
Crystal Tutor 1 = False
Crystal Tutor 2 = True

It'd be like
Crystal State = 2

holy shit.....I have to say this game and very good very even I loved the level of perversity the anal and very good I liked even wanted it to have more exhibitionism type in the school work shop etc would be really cool even interactivity with other people talking about the changes of cute for whores etc.

 

[Sovereign]

Hi, is there any quick fix via console or something for fixing Yuki if she disappears from the game after you give her the slutty schoolgirl outfit? When I try to talk to her in school she looks as she did at the beginning of the game with the dialog option "offer to train her", but she's not in the gym, nor in the lab, nor can I call her or something like that.

 

[Finsit]

y_work = True

She should be available in the lab's office.

Thank you very much, I had already restarted the game and the bug didn't happen on the second play-through, but it helps

Any news of next realease?

Any news of next realease?

You mean beside the fact it involves a stripclub ?

any news?i die to play more
