Ren'Py Dilemma of Devotion [Ch.4 Ep.2] [PulseHavenStudios]

[Luncor]

All my updates are 600 renders plus , feel free to check the past.

Again accusing developers of being stingy over one moron doing that is just something else

Anyway , cool.

Mind you within an year we have a total of 17k + renders and 230+ animations.

But sure , we are milkers

First of all, I don't think I'm criticizing your choice of sandbox here. The problem here is how you designed it. I explained this clearly in my post above. You're not giving people freedom. Players don't know where to go or when. They don't have any options. You're just leaving them to find the scenes you've hidden. So people don't feel like they're making a choice if they click on the house on the right or the house on the left. Because they don't even really know what they're doing. They're just looking for a new scene.

Secondly, you say you're putting in over 600 renders per update. This includes 20 different angles showing the same character's face in the same scene. The character is speaking, and in the first render, their mouth is open; in the second, their mouth is closed; in the third, their left eye is closed and their mouth is open; in the fourth, they open their eye and the angle shifts slightly to the right. This way, you can produce 6000 renders instead of 600. This doesn't mean that 600 renders advance a full story. It just adds a bit more realism. And I'm not against it. I only responded because you mentioned 600+ renders.

Instead of calling people "morons", try to understand what they're trying to say. Stop seeing yourself as perfect. Learn from criticism and think you can do better. Otherwise, you'll be doomed to constantly regress when your players get bored with what you're doing.

Or don't do either. You're selling a product here, just like any other developer, and people are buying it. You're free to treat your customers however you want, even if that means calling them "morons".

1. We're not leaving anyone with anything , There is a pin system and a quest system which tells you the "EXACT time and date or day location" for each quests and they do not overlap unless or until they happen in a vicinity of the other girls.

For navigation you don't need to manually get out of the house each time or click doors.

We have a side bar menu that allows access to every location / room of the building or map you're in.

Again you would know all of that had you bothered to play the tutorial.

2. Gotta love the touche stuff here , so what all my updates are mouth open mouth close and tha adds to 600? be realistic if you're gonna nitpick.

By that argument what more than 10000 renders are just speaking? C'mon lmao

Even if I were to cut those in detail renders the game 's update would still cross more than 500+ with animations being again fully done.

So still hell of alot more than the claim of 50/60 renders.

As for me calling people morons? that's over anyone complaining "WHY ISTHIS SANDBOX" when it has the FUCKING tag for it

Not my fault if you're still not seeing it and then rating it 1 star, I don't see myself as perfect but I don't see my self as a dumbass that's going to overhaul a game over someone who doesn't even bother to check the damn tags.


Oh and lastly I'm not selling shit here , this is a piracy website where its provided for free.

So don't give me that "you owe us this" , no I do it for the best of players who enjoy my game.

Which is and repeat after me , a sandbox player.



TLDR ; Maybe learn what I'm actually saying instead of trying to act smart and then make yourself look naive instead by doing the exact thing that is silly.

Anyway just rate it 1 star and leave man , I'm done with folks like you at this point.

I'll read reviews and comments which actually want me to improve the game or be here for bug fixes.

I think old saves do not work in this one. So i had to play from beginning. Then came the tutorial part after that when I clicked on the message in mobile i got an error. I am attaching the file for you to review and let me know where I went wrong.

Thanks for reporting i will take a look also old saves that are chapters or 4/5 versions older may not work and hence we recommend just installing new update and save game so variables aren't bad


I wish there was a way to fix that but renpy is a bitch.

I installed the new update and then started afresh then also I am getting the error. Just lost as to what went wrong and where?

I will answer this one last time and not prolong the discussion any further.

Do I have a message complaining about "why this game is sandbox" without looking at the tags? Another user shared their opinion, and I responded by quoting their message. There was no complaint or direct message to you. I simply explained the general intentions of the developers who designed the sandbox this way.

Have you seen my post where I gave the game a 1? Because there isn't. On the contrary, I clearly stated my opinion. I wrote that while it had potential, it was a shame that it was in this state due to its sandbox design.

You also misunderstood what I said about rendering. I gave that example to explain that the number alone doesn't mean anything. I didn't say you were doing exactly that.

You don't owe me or anyone anything. It's your game. Try to do better, or worse. That's your business.

Finally, you're essentially marketing a product here. How do you think people discover your game and support you through Patreon? If this "piracy site" didn't exist, maybe the number of people who discovered the game right now would be 3-5 people. Do you think that just because this is a "piracy site", no one here supports any developers? The existence of F95 alone has created a huge audience for the adult game market and has become a source of income for so many game developers. So, stop thinking "This is just a piracy site" and think more rationally.

As I said, the game has potential. But a sandbox system designed this way seems like a waste of time to many people. People only have the little free time they have for games like this. Clicking around for hours, searching for new scenes, is boring for many.

So, instead of perceiving this as a complaint about "why is there a sandbox in this game?", you can improve yourself by thinking about creating a system that even those who make this complaint can enjoy. You might consider the Freeroam system. Or don't. After all, this is a "piracy site", you are free to do whatever you want.

I said it very clearly , I do take things here posted to account.

You can check the older versions or reviews even when people ask for stuff such as opacity meters , side bar hints , location and pinning quests and etc.

Yes.. ALL of those functions were requested by users and added later.

However overhauling this to an extreme extent is not what I'm going to do whether this game stays 3 or 1 star even , because that's simply not the game i want to make.


Now lastly we do try to do better , its kinda why people other than you do actually play our game as well and here's a shocker , they actually enjoy it.

Despite that all I will still try to improve what I can , maybe vn of florida when girls of this location are done maybe add more navigation , maybe not.

It all depends on what the users who help me pay my bills tell me as well , because I need to be mindful of their experience as well.
