2019-08-02 Making Strides

As I'm pushing forward with the renders for the second half of v1.0.7 I find I have some downtime between test renders.

So today I took some of those precious extra minutes to work on one of my promises for the next release.

I'm happy to report there is now a fully functional "Jump Menu" included in the next release. This will allow you to immediately transport to any scene in the game whether you've completed it or not (who the hell am I to tell you what order you should enjoy these things).

One of the cool benefits of this implementation is that it leaps forward from your current position. So if you're curious about what impact a choice you just made will have on a future scene, you can make the choice and then immediately jump forward to see its effects.

As the game grows there will be more diversity and impact from your decisions making this a fun toy to play with.

Eventually (maybe this release, maybe a couple from now) I'll have a built in system for modifying the character attributes so you can enter a new scene with whatever stats you like. This will take some more time to build, but it's on the drawing board.

Thus while I can no longer ensure that your saves won't always work while I'm putting this thing together, I can at least offer you the ability avoid the torture of replaying scenes you've already seen. I'm afraid it's the best I can do.

For now, I must return to rendering.

Salute my friends!
This menu looks interesting and really pretty.:)

2019-08-13 News

Good afternoon all, thought it was past time I chimed in with a little bit o'news.

Today's been a particularly good day. I took the day off of the real job today and will log a solid ten hours on this game today and if all goes well, another ten tomorrow. It's been nice blocking everything else out for the day and just focusing on the project.

But I don't mean to mislead, there has been some steady chipping away at the "to do" list over the last week.
As previously reported, the scene selection tool is now complete and fully integrated. Along with in-game character bios (for all the characters you know and a few you've yet to meet). As well as some other interface upgrades.
I'm also happy to mention that all the re-coding has been completed and naming your character is now a fully integrated option.

Finishing up Nanami's Chapter 3 is also well under way. I hope to have some play-testable material soon for $10+ patrons. There have been a lot of changes since the last release, so there are a number of mechanics that needs tested. But we'll get through all that.

Now, onto a few other things...

Setting Expectations
This next release is going to have a lot of new things integrated into it. Some of these new enhancements have yet to be fully integrated into the previously constructed material. One such feature is the ability to change the MC's race/skin-tone. While the mechanics for this feature are now built in, I still need to go back and update all the previous scenes with the new textures. This is going to take time and I won't delay the game further by going back and reworking old material.

So with each subsequent release, expect some of that original content to be retouched and remastered a little to work with all the new mechanics. If each release contains a bunch of new content and a little bit of old remastered content, then I think we'll have a good balance.

What can I say, it's a beta. There's going to be tweaks. But hopefully with the ability to jump to different points in the game, the lack of save compatibility will be mitigated a little.

On the upside, when I get all the old content remastered and in line with all the new content coming out, I think it'll be a pretty awesome fucking game/story/whatever.

What's that Sound?
Finally, I'm getting around to adding music to the game. This is also a feature that right now is a bit uneven as some scenes have it and some...well...most don't. But I'm working on that.

I've wanted to include music in the game for awhile but the two things that have stalled the effort is a good source for royalty-free music and the variance in sound levels between tracks (You know what I'm talking about, one song is soft and the next one comes in thirty decibels higher). Happy to say both problems are now solved.

With an excellent source of tunes at my disposal and having done some research in the renpy documentation on volume control, I'm now in the process of constructing a music library for the game.

As the sound gets integrated I'm doing my best to make sure that the sounds levels are adjusted and maintained across the game so that you never need to adjust your volume preference more than once. It's a little trial and error, so I'll be hoping for feedback on the success or failure of this endeavor.

Streaming
While we only did a couple of these I must say I did enjoy doing them. Once I get Nanami's chapter buttoned up I'm looking to return to doing one, maybe two streams a month dependent on time. So look for that to kick back up again in September.

In the meantime, I'm going to continue hammering away at this thing and will do my best to respond to all the messages and emails I've received in the meantime. I promise, I will get a response to everyone eventually, just hang in there with me.

We'll talk soon.

Cheers!

Sounds impressive and significant! I don't know of other Ren'Py games with half of these features, honestly.

I have been waiting to play 1.07 until the next "half" arrived - is that what you are essentially working now?

So old saves don't work? No worries, i can make the sacrifice and play it again from the begining. :p :p
Well the feature to jump scenes can be unlocked at any time, so hopefully that'll ease the pain. ;)
But as time goes on there are some improvements I want to do to the earlier scenes that will utilize some of the new features. But I'll inform everyone as those changes are put in place.

Yes. As soon as the second half of 1.0.7 is complete I'll be pushing out that along with all of these changes.
There are three dialogue scenes and another sex scene. The dialogue scenes are coded and upgraded, I just need to finish renders.




A lot of these new features are things I've had in the back of my mind to develop or were already partially put together. But because I didn't want to break saves, I was kind of waiting for a good time to implement everything so that players would only have to restart once.

I see now that without a thorough understanding of Renpy's guts (specifically the call stacks which seem to be the source of a lot of problems), I simply cannot guarantee save compatibility between releases. I've had to make my peace with that but hopefully with the free cheat menu will ease some of the burden.

Right now the cheat menu just unlocks the characters and gives you the option to jump scenes. But as it develops I will continue to add features that will give players unprecedented control over the game's variables and hopefully relieve the need for people to ever use the console. But to avoid long delays I'm just going to implement features a few at a time.

This is smart planning and yes, now is a good time to "break" saves IMHO.

I'm going to do a full game restart after this next release and be happy in doing so.

I just realized I kind of skipped ahead in the forums here and neglected to touch on a couple of posts, so here's me making up for that.

i'd say the pet-name system seems like a nice addition to the game in my opinion
It should certainly alleviate the need for a certain kind of patch......*ahem*......

alright when will a walkthough come up and dont point me to the guide because the guide does not tell you how many keep going clicks you need for Nanami orgasms in the first H scene if the rest of the game is like this what is the point of it you can not even see if she got one plus the constant error after you cum in her is annoying
Just a heads up, I've discontinued the official walkthrough. Now that I"m working on the game by myself and only doing this part time, what time I was spending on the walkthrough would be better dedicated elsewhere on the project. Hopefully as the cheat menu progresses and you have access to change all the character stats it will alleviate the need for a walkthrough altogether.

In the meantime, I always advise people, if you want to see everything, just go through and pick all the blue choices, then go through again and pick all the red. You'll see 95% of the game that way, and 100% of the sexy stuff.

This game is amazing. Loved the sex scenes with Jane and Lola. :love:
Thank you! And as much as I loved the Jane sex scene, I'm looking forward to going back and redoing it with the "sex menu" to add more positions and options during that scene.

Cheers mate!

And while I'm pandering and before I sign out for a bit, I'd like to remind everyone that reviews do help. Whether it's five stars or one star, I like having a record from players regarding what's working and what's not. I do go back and re-read them periodically to see if I've managed to improve on previous critiques.

So if you feel so inclined, please click that button up there and give me whatever rating you think I deserve. And if you can offer up some constructive feedback with it, even better.

Salute mates!

Don't worry, most likely someone in the community will pick up the torch and continue doing a walkthrough, and if not it is as you said. :p

Also i so look forward to the redone Jane scene.:love::love::love:

Not really any need, worst case scenario, there is always the 'skip' button. The only real difficult part is trying to decide if I want to make different choices this time... Do I want to change my mind and have lots of sex, or stick with my canon choices and stay true to myself. :LOL:
