Ren'Py Dissonance [v4.1] [Glephy]

[Filipis]

Where did you get that information?
In the development blog, when the developer answered questions about NTR Marissa, he didn't mention Adrianna.



"Moving forward, you can look at Marissa's corruption as multilateral. It'll be Justin on one side, and Flora on the other, in a way working together to keep breaking down her walls. With time, Flora's role with slow down, with Justin taking the main stage. As was always the plan."

Adrianna will probably be a part of the "Flora's side" of that particular NTR fence. I highly doubt Glephy explicitly showed us Adrianna developing an interest in Marissa without it ever leading anywhere.

If these people genuinely believe that we won't be getting any sweet "hidden" NTR scenes of Marissa on a videocall with Jeremy while giving a handjob/blowjob to Justin (or getting eaten out by Flora/Justin), they are dead wrong - and those scenes won't be any less erotic just because Flora was the one that enabled Marissa to behave that way.

Also, can't wait for Adrianna x Marissa action; that's the one that's going to break Jeremy completely.

Why are you always expecting G/G bro? You're defending already Marrissa- Flora.. And then you're saying Marissa-Adriana.. I respect your opinion ofc <3 But I think all people who disagree with me (supporting Flora NTR) are the fan of Lesbian NTR bullshit (in my opinion).. If and female shows herself in this story, I'm %100 sure that you want that new girl to sex with Marrissa too.. No man but every woman. Interesting..
Like I said I'm not judging you guys. I just try to understand your minds. I mean it's the point of Lesb NTR am I right? (For me, a lesbian NTR thing is not an actual NTR. It's just a distraction.)
For example, if Flora was a guy but so lovely and kind and childish guy, we (my idea lovers) all love this. If Flora was a naive humble guy friend of Marrissa, we could accept this as a ladder of corruption tower. But it's a girl. And cheating with a girl is not a completely destruction for a Male (MC).

If the side stories are anything to go by, the main NTR is going to be great and go quite hard lol

I actually don't particularly find lesbian stuff that interesting usually. However, with the way Glephy has set up this story, it's not only hot, but it's been made necessary for the story. This is the point I've been trying to get across.

Hello again! That's the second devlog in a row I put out on a Tuesday instead of the usual Monday. Truth is on Mondays I don't have time in the mornings to write one out, and I'm coming back from work too tired to do anything. I'm going to start putting out my Devlogs on Sundays moving forward. Speaking of which, I have another idea.
I realized that my devlogs encompass both yapfests and progress reports. I'm going to start seperating those. I'm going to turn these devlogs into more introspective posts about what I'm thinking in terms of story development, as well as properly showcasing my progress in terms of animations + rendering and things like that.
So as of today, I'm pinning a public post with a link to a sheet that will detail how much I've worked every week, and be public to all, and devlogs will become more focused on personal progress and story insights.

I feel like it's a good idea. You, as supporters, don't have to worry about wading through walls of text to find a progress report, and making the progress report (which will contain no spoilers) public might generate more interest in the game and build up hype for release. So if you're interested in a progress report, check out the pinned post on my profile!

Anyway, let's get into the meat of today's devlog! Animations!
Animating is both fun and frustrating. Having an idea and starting to see it come together is a great feeling, but then you get bogged down by the technicalities and wanting it to be perfect (e.g Avoiding clipping, odd body positions, etc.) I avoided that problem before by making my animations relatively short loops (1-3 seconds). The upside of that is it makes them quick to create, while also sacrificing little quality. The downside however is the lack of customizability and 'fluidiity'. There's only so much I can jam into a three second loop and still making it look plausible and not silly. So this week, I figured I'd try a new approach and go big. And go big I did.

Timelines for older animations looked like this:

4.7 second loop. Short, sweet and gets the job done. But I could always do more, so one I worked on this week look like this:

19.4 seconds. Much longer, much more complicated to make, but looks MUCH better than anything I've done before. Obviously, it takes more time to make than the shorter ones, but the result more than justifies the extra time.

I've made three animations so far, with this one being the longest. But this is the standard for animating I'm sticking to moving forward.

That's all for now! Progress report is in the sheet I'll put out publicly in a minute. Thanks for tuning in!

so there no gallery yet? i think i saw someone say dev will release gallery update 1 week after 0.4 o

You are correct, my good man.

It appears the dev forgot his little promise of a Gallery patch.

 

[Rozhok]

Pretty sure he's still working on it

 

[Filipis]

Well, when your game releases on 27th of September, and you "promise" a patch sometime "next week", and it's currently the 19th of October (three weeks later) without saying a word about a gallery patch in your latest Progress Update...

... it's kinda reasonable to assume the dev forgot about it.

No ETA yet,last update was pretty recent. Assuming the rough pattern of releases holds though (which it might not), it's likely to be released sometime in January. This is just my guess, I don't make the game, just play it. I have no information anybody else doesn't, I just like to guess.

 

[Filipis]

When is the next update planned for?

Like the man said, don’t expect before January. If we’re lucky, it’s a Christmas release, but the dev has a real job and presumably a real family, so holidays will further slow down the progress - so January is your best bet.

Just hold off on subscribing until December rolls around if you’re penny-pinching.

Late Jan or early Feb then...

It took the dev almost 3 whole months for 0.4, and 0.5 is looking to be even bigger + holidays. Do the math

No worries. Devs need their downtime too. Burnout’s been rough lately. Hope he enjoys a well deserved holiday!

Devlog #30: Sunday, not-so fun day.

Woo! First Sunday devlog! What's going on y'all?
I'm personally doing fine. Still overworked, but getting used to it. I've spent a good chunk of this week writing Bonnie and Jeremy scenes and outlining what her path for this update is going to look like. Speaking of V5, I have some news.
Given that the last one was a couple days longer than usual, this one is going to be... probably longer. Fuck formulas and structured releases at this point honestly. The 19 days per update thing is going to be treated as a minimum from now on, not as a standard. The reasoning behind this decision is pretty much the same reasoning I've used to rid myself of previous formulaic approaches (Big events for each character on every 20th day, etc...). If I write an update with a 19 day constraint in mind, it restricts my creativity and makes me work in a weird self-imposed timeframe. Some story beats might need longer than 19 in-game days to conclude, so there's no reason to not make the update longer to fit the story beats rather than the other way around.
It's too soon right now to give you an accurate number of days V5 is going to cover, but you can be sure it's going to be more than 19-20.

Now, what are the stories for each character looking like?

• Bonnie:

As I said in the beginning, and in a previous devlog, Bonnie's still being developed. I've written three scenes (and rendered two) for her and Jeremy, and they're pretty normal. Just letting their friendship develop in a natural way. I have a rough idea as to what's going to happen down the line, but I'm still a little hazy on the pacing of it. I'm going to need to write a bit more and wait for inspiration to hit or for something to finally click before I commit to her more important parts in the story later on.

• Marissa:

Whenever I wasn't writing Bonnie, I was writing Marissa this week. I've started easing Justin into her story, but her arc with Flora is still in full swing. I'll level with you, I won't stop developing V5 until the story reaches a point that makes it clear that Justin has the biggest role to play in Marissa's story. How that point comes across however is something I'm yet to set in stone, but again, I have a lot of rough ideas. I'll draft them and stick with what works best, then work my way back.

• Adrianna and Gemma:

I'm lumping the two of them together because they're the ones I've worked on the least thus far. It's fine though, because I have a very clear idea where their stories are headed this update, so the drafting and coming up with events part of their developing won't take much time at all.

And finally, the patch! Whatever happened with that?
Still working on it. Most of it is menial work, but I won't lie, I've pushed it back a bit due to time constraints. Whenever I have time before leaving for work or after coming back, I've found myself dedicating towards developing V5 instead of working on the patch. Starting tomorrow, I'm putting it back at the top of my prio list.


And that's all! Thanks for tuning in this week, and see you next Sunday (Or maybe sooner, who knows!)

 

[OdinValgallovih]

You’re doing amazing with Marissa x Flora, Glephy, don’t let the haters force you to cut that part of the story short to push Justin sooner at the expense of pacing - she has to go *all the way* with Flora before Justin can have a chance.

And of course, what's a discussion without a crazy fan of lesbian NTR — naturally, the developer should listen to you and do whatever you want.

TBH... I am a not big fan of Flora X Marissa but I get it... My major issue was the drag, if Marissa X Flora relationship progressed into full sex in V4, I would have been glad it was Justin's turn in V5 but now it looks like V5 will focus on Flora X Marissa (Maybe be a little with Justin) and have to wait for future updates for Justin X Marissa....

I hope the dev take a break... he mentioned "I'm personally doing fine. Still overworked"... in dev log. I don't want another dev to be burnout moment...

 

[JohnSchuler]

Fuck, it's so sad to read those updates... Kinda funny, but still sad. (warning, big sad doomposting)

Why he push this to be more than 20 days again? He already showed what he can't write consistent update with more than 20 days without empty bloat what serves nothing, not even for like "slow corruption" or anything, but in general. Just dialogues what bring nothing, for the sake of writing more days. (and for clarification, no, I don't mean "make less days and faster corruption")
Weird self imposed timeframe? Dude (addressing the dev, cause I know how he likes to stalk this forum of pirates he despises so much), you have A LOT of days where you just forget about some characters, and there is nothing happening, you think prolonging this will make things look better? Your game is not a sandbox, this works not so well in here (the excuses were passable so far, but for how long this will last?)


Bonnie: I have a rough idea
Marissa: I have a lot of rough ideas
Adrianna and Gemma: I've worked on them least thus far

When what have you worked on? Making rough ideas how to make it NTR with both Justin and Flora at the same time? What excuse to make to forget a character for a few weeks? What nail polish MC should discuss with Bonnie, to grow bond with her for 1%? He in the same devlog says what he didn't work much on the patch, and that's ok, but he also have only "rough ideas" and will look for inspiration, so he didn't write much also? For real?

It's good to see what at lest with Adri and Gemma he has a clear idea what he want to do with their stories (unless he will be swayed AGAIN with them too), but thing about Bonnie and Marissa, it's the worst thing you can see from any dev who writes the story, as the fact what he just don't know in what direction to go. "Mmm, I have a few rough ideas, and will make something up", and "I'll decide later, and look for inspiration" Just why? When you have inspiration, you can build such a strong backbone, so later you will have less worry and less of an "idea crisis". This is like story writer lifehack 101 to not just go with the flow in writing. Dev made such an amazing start (first 60 days), then someone hacked his account or aliens replaced him or something? Why he jumps now back and forth so much and can't decide what he wants to do? (beside one thing he constantly repeats)

I don't know if it's a work burnout or pressure or anything, but jeesus, no one gonna kill you if you take a break to write better. Replay your story from the beginning yourself or something at least. Dude, just get your shit together, and instead of monitoring forums in search for toxic positivity, go and finally decide something about the story more than "Mmm, for Marissa, she will be with Jason and... emmmm.... I somehow make it work... em... you know... Bonnie will be our bff in 20 updates... and emm... Adri and Gemma will be fucked, yeah and... At least I make more days now, right guys?"

Ppl here will wait, patreons will wait (and won't come here to leak update in first few hours because of how shitty it was), it's not the end of the world. We know you are not a full time dev, ppl expect slow updates. It's better to wait for an additional month or even two, but to get more compelling, "inspired", and not all over the place and bloated mess of a story, what will become even more inconsistent without strong foundation

Yeah, you can attack me with lies and made up shit like that weirdo did before how much you want, and call names, but it won't change much on this stage from what we can see. I hope you will be happy with the results, but I've seen too much indecisive devs, to have hopes for this situation to be different from them. I know it's weird to expect decent consistent writing form a newbie porn dev, but he gave good foundation to believe he can write amaizingly. So damn sad man
