VN Ren'Py Divinity [Update 1] [toasterkun]

[garbage.kun]

Forgot to post my progress report here 0_0a;;;

You must be registered to see the links

its kinda long, and can be summed up as "chugging along, slowly..." and "the nonstop torture of polishing and rewriting"... and "writing is my kryptonite". But, que sera sera. It will be done when it is done

I'll just go to the positives, which is... here are some pose and lighting test for two ero scenes that I hope I can put in the next update if I can write it with a quality that is good enough for me btw, these aren't spoilers its a porn game, we all knew this is going to happen somehow

ps : the there are still some posing and lighting mistakes in these test sketches.



and an old character design sketch



thanks!

Yep! Hahaha. You are definitely onto something here. The question that you're asking is the one that will lead to the actual question posed by the story...if i'm allowed to be pretentious m(_ _)m

As I said, I think it's quite overt which it is, but still a very interesting plotpoint. I'm excited to see how that develops. Don't rush things and follow through with whatever you planned. It is looking very good so far.

I prefer to be open about it how I plan to do my update, so you might have to wait at least 1-2 more months 0_0

That would still be a quite short development cycle. Such short cycles are more typical with run-of-the-mill VNs that look like all the others due to default assets. And yours really doesn't, which is a good thing.

Looking at the sneak peeks I got a question. Are you planning "routes" of any sorts or branching? A kinetic story is of course much easier as a first time solo dev and allows for more work and detail on the "main" path. Looks promising though

Thank you. I'm glad that it interests you. I tend to spoil too much because I really like talking about those plot points, so I'll just stop myself here hahaha

well, actually 2 months from now would place it around 3-4 months since the first update, so its quite long. since the next update is not going to be as long as the first one (the first update was about 20k words, i'm aiming at around 7-10k for this one), i still hope it is doable.

I still don't have a big enough reputation to go a long time without any releases

TBH, the bottleneck between mine and the other VN are different. Most Daz based game are bottlenecked by their rendering speed, while since i use Honeyselect 2, mine would be getting the pose and lighting correct..and writing the text hahahaha

My plan is to go kinetic for now because, as you said, it allows me to focus more content on a path that all player will go through, instead of spreading it around. that being said, i'm planning a branch on the next update, but that branch will join back to the main plot right after. In my current plan, this branch is for the sex scene because:

• it doesn't affect the plot in an immediate way,
• but due to the nature of the story, it doesn't really make sense that both of those branches took place.

Spoiler: spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

• since the UI is structured around what is basically a polished gallery, the player can simply replay those different branches anyway, because they are self contained within the same chapter, although their saved choice is unchanged.

Thanks!

Such a shitty ass game with no clear indication on how to proceed forward or what to do. Rubbish navigation.

Sorry buddy, but this game is not for Fappers, you can jerk off to porns or other games.

There's 2 types of people who likes adult games for fapping, and 2nd those who are just here for story like me.

That's why I only like fews games yours is one of them.

sorry but this game is very good, more than that the graphics and plot are quite new for VN porn games today. Can someone give me some more games like this. Another thing is that the sound seems to be not very complete.

I think Dogma is similar to this one, not sure.

Hi akira123,

Personally, i think plot wise (although i think its less darker) , the closest one is Crown of Desire The UI is polished too 0_0b. That game actually pushes me to release my game a little earlier because I if waited too long, people might think my plot is inspired by that game hahaha

As for the art style (HS2 renders with extra attention to lighting and shadows), I haven't played it (don't have the time yet -_-), but based on the screenshots, Mayfly looks good 0_0b.

Thank you very very much for your praise m(_ _)m. Yes, the problem with the sound is that I haven't found enough free music that fits my vision for the ambiance (solo female with minimal instruments) that sounds consistent between music as for the sound...hahaha yeah, I have to admit, i'm very lazy at editing the available free sound effect to make it fit the scenes, but...i hope (wish me luck..) i can add one music for the throne room, and give at least the crows their sound hahahah

Thanks!

Meh, this game MC sucks, he's cocky as hell personality wise he's a wimp.

And it's doesn't even have horror like yours, Dogma or Astral lust is best option.
