VN Ren'Py Abandoned Dr. Amana, Sexual Therapist [v2.0.0P] [Ianvs]

[RomanHume]

There are very few games like this. Where there is everything, and the plot and sex scenes and the choice of what to be the hero. 9 out of 10 game.

Thanks!

It's all about game immersion. I'm not too worried about the incest in general. But if a game is written as an incest game and then landladies, neighbours etc starts popping up, it breaks immersion.

The whole deal about incest, is about the taboo and handling of the inappropriateness of the relationship. Removing that, kinda removes the the whole setting of the incest. (Why is it taboo or inappropriate to have a relationship with your neighbour/roommate/landlady?)

It removes immersion is the bottom line.

Well then it's a good thing there is no incest in my game. Cause you know, if there was I'd be breaking Patreon's T's & C's and that would sink the whole project...

Or maybe the immersion occurs when you realize you're Roger telling the story to someone else and while you're telling it you're doing a really bad job at...well, relaying details that aren't details because there isn't any incest in the game...or something........fuck...what was I saying?

So what is the state of the game at the moment? Is it better to wait for next update?

In general, I hate it if games starts of a new version where it disregards previous progress. Are we going to be able to use the saves eventually, or is this the way forward for the game?

Previous progress was no disregarded and you have the ability to approximate your previous save state through in game features. But sadly old saves will never be compatible.

Why make a separate game as v2.0 though ? it wasn't that big yet (1.5GB), primary reason to do it

Because I lost my team and when I took full ownership I re-organized and rewrote over 75% of the code base so that as I develop going forward I don't have to any additional coding and will no longer have to deal with issues of save breaks.

I wish the author would make regular updates already instead of test episodes.

Perhaps it is the time..? As Cassie said, "the window is closing"...

Also that would answer more than 50% of questions here... And helped with the immersion.

I just can say...Cassie

I mean, if you can only say one word, that's certainly a good one!

Well I don't think its believable at all...but that doesn't mean its bad or anything. In terms of story "time" you go from showing a risky swimsuit, straight into full on penetration sex with your daughter. Nothing in between. Sure she says shes been harboring feelings for a year+ but the dad hasn't, and its quite the jump to go from daughter who looks like an adult now, into boy I want to plow her.

Fair enough. And this is based on the combined story in v1.1.5 and v2.0.0? Maybe I'll study chapters 1 and 2 a bit more down the line when it comes time to upgrade those.

ok i see the milf and dilf tag is but no incest tag are there really no scenes with mother and daughter together or am I getting it wrong UwU?

And I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there will probably never be any scenes with Emily and Cassie having sex together. As fun as that would be, it sadly goes completely against the nature of both characters.

*Queue a dozen posters explaining to me how it "could happen" with thinly veiled motives and weak sauce*

You ever meet any of those guys on here that just can't play a game with a female protagonist that takes the dick because it's "gay"? Hetero sexual sex and it's somehow gay because of the gender...really?

It's just all about immersion (I guess) So yeah. Someone posted a patch and it made this update go from unplayable to amazing.

So glad to know that 1,300+ images and 32k words of text, months of work and countless hours grinding away is rendered completely unplayable by a single word.

I guess I'll just have to settle for "some of the people, some of the time".

Pretty Good V2 Enjoyed

'Preciate it mate!

Buuuhh! Why not animated any more?

Because Animating in Daz is as painful as scraping a boil off a rabid dog's balls.

Spoiler: Movie name

Before the chapter explained the film's plot and displayed the screenshot, I figured Roman was alluding to

, a 1981 French film. It's not a historical drama since it was set as contemporary (for 1981). But some similar themes and tone.

 

[RomanHume]

Who is even pregnant? Only one I got in 1.1.5 is Lita. I hope this isn't a "need to have specific path" type of crap for the pregnancies

Not a specific path kind of thing. It's randomly determined unless you have it turned off. It adds to the story but is not mandatory.

I wasn't that excited about this game, downloaded the last update because why not but yeah, 2.0 was AMAZING.

Thanks for the feedback mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

WTAF happened to this game? I never for once expected something this good. I mean, it showed promise, with the 3 girl pool tease, and delivered on the blonde after a bunch of crap, but with 2.0, to come out of the gate with what may be the single best lewd I have ever seen in a ren'py game. Sorry PTOLEMY, Dana is now old news and you don't have to grind through a bunch of crap to get to it.

Holy shit. That's some high praise indeed. Honestly though, when I became the sole developer of the game there were lots of coding and stylistic changes I wanted to make. Places I knew needed improvement, etc. So the reason we've gone so long without an update is because I've not only been reworking all the code and shoring up all the places I thought the game was weak. But have also been pursuing all manner of online education resources to improve my overall craft.

My your estimation above, it sounds like the massive effort is paying off. Thanks again mate!

Thanks for the update dev. Really enjoyed that. Great story and build up and the graphics are very good.

Thank you!

when is the next update?

hmm ok its getting less and less off the game i can remember when he started whit this game nanami whas fucked jane whas fucked and now its only cassie

Weird. I don't remember any of those scenes.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

That's because of popular demand and people wanting more of them than I originally intended. That said, it became necessary to give them actual names beyond just their stripper names.

Good to know. I was wondering who were those Samantha and Tiffany women.

 

[RomanHume]

well, that explains that RomanHume is lazy.........

And he's fucking stupid too!

If I remember right (I never do), old code is full of shenanigams and ad hocs commands, so he has to fix a lot of stuff in order to be able to use the new code which is future save proof..

I also think he was talking about improving old quality, but doing so without stopping to do the already release stuff, so that he can still work on new material. Eventually, old material will catch up to new standards and full game will be in conditions to be released.

Bingo!

Holy Hell. That scene with Cassie was possibly the most romantic and erotic I've ever seen in a VN. Used to be LomL that wore that particular crown but this may just have edged a lead. Just wow.

Appreciate the high marks! Thank you!

I think so too. Specially, it is hard to find a game with so many configurations such as this one, so if you are not careful, things break.. and after the coding of skynet on rempy that Hume did (which seems to have paid off), he barely has to code anything, when he develops everything in his preferred enviroment. Just click and exports.. but I guess the old stuff needs to be written in that environment first.

Partly. Plus some features like changing the MC's skin tone simply require new renders because that wasn't conceived of when the old stuff was made. So not just artistically but technically much needs redone. I just can't stomach the idea of putting the game on hold to work that old content for a 3rd time.

So I'll do it a little at a time as things move forward. But 90% of my time needs to be devoted to new story, new content, and new sexiness.

Wow, this new Scene was amazing! Chapeau!!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it mate!

So does this have a working patch? I didn't think I 'd see lamer naming tricks than "landlady" and "tenants" but Big Guy managed to do it...

I didn't put any thought at all into Cassie's nickname for the MC on the assumption that 99% of players were going to change it anyway.

Thanx for the update.

Most welcome!

Not bad update, lacking in content though and yes I know why, but would be so much nicer to get updates faster so we don't forget everything before we do

Lacking in...content.

Well, faster updates would be nice. 15,000 patrons would also be nice. With that I could hire a team and stop busting ass all by myself day in and day out. Hell, it would probably even lead to faster updates. Talk about a win-win!

 

[Crimsonfiend76]

What? Confess? what is the meaning of that word?

haha sorry even in real life I think that confessing is for cowards (not trying to insult anyone here) that cannot live with the guilt of what they have done and prefer to put their love ones in pain than just to clear the conscience. You fucked it you, you pay the consequences alone. And if possible, make sure your love ones never pay for what you've done, you stupid asshole.

More in general, I am a cheating slut, so if anything, I would love to fuck Nanami secretly with Emily present..

And yes, the three girls, both paths are amazing: Amanda, Cassie and Jane. But Jane is probably the most conflicted. Try it. She shows you such a cute girl.. even when I love "broken babes" as red janes.. hard to pick.

Again I agree with the cheating part as well. I personally have no guilt, my mc on the other hand does if he’s playing Emily’s blue path 100%. My gut instinct was to not confess, especially since I’m playing all red with Nanami and making her be a sub, just seems out of character to turn around to confess to the wife instead of keeping that shit on lockdown. Hell, I wish we could even convince Emily to join in occasionally for threesome fun. Just don’t know if it’s worth taking a red and not getting all possible love point(s).

I think the only other time I was conflicted picking a blue over red choice was suggesting Amanda be a doctor over a game developer. Seems like doctor is what her dad wants, but she really enjoys gaming. Again, ultimately went blue again for the extra points over picking red (plus had 2 miss out on the 2 peeking scenes with her in the shower.). Wish I knew what the minimum points I needed to trigger blue path while still occasionally picking a red every now and then.

Haha can't react.

I think in this game, in which there are no right or wrong answers, disabling the color is worth it for the first playthrough. It is not like you are "losing the game" by not picking the right answer. You just see different content. Totally worth it to pick what you want.

I actually don't want Emily to know. I found it hotter to fuck all those girls "against" her will. That is why I claim I am a cheating slut. The act of cheating turns me on, not simply fucking a lot.

 

[RomanHume]

idk if you have tried it yet but this update is def worth it if u like cassie aka the daughter lots and lots of h-scenes

Thanks for the recommendation mate!

fantastic update, impressive qualitywise, you are on the right path to create a masterpiece i think.

I certainly hope so! Let me know if I start to slip.

It was pretty fast, but that can work. I enjoyed everything before and after the sex scene, but that sequence had a lot of issues for me. I feel like this is a good example of how writing obvious incest content without a dev-provided patch degrades a game. The lack of any mention of the taboo relationship besides the "oh no, she's my neighbors daughter... or something?" stuff made it a lot less believable and a lot less kinky.

I was trying to go with a 'heat of the moment' type thing where everyone is acting on impulse letting their hormones rule. My long term plan is for them to begin exploring the 'meaning' of it all as their story together develops. After they've had more time to reflect and get past all the initial rush of banging. Perhaps I missed the mark though.

Also, the way you are gamifying sex scenes actively works against your usually great narrative and the immersion factor. It just seems kind of silly when you pump her full of cum like six times in 10 minutes, especially when one point in her dialogue earlier was how she always made sure to practice safe sex. So I guess she forgot or changed her mind? It's never acknowledged in dialogue. I get that it's porn and you're supposed to suspend your disbelief and every man is a Greek god, but the amount of jizzing in your daughter in this update should have made her look like a stuffed turkey at the end and his dick should have fallen off.

This is one of those places I was forced to compromise between the porn and narrative aspects of the product. I've designed the menu to be infinitely expandable so that as patreons request new positions be added to the game, the list of kinks and positions can grow. However, I have no way of knowing which positions or combinations there of a player might choose. I certainly don't want to dictate the necessity of certain positions or kinks, so I had to make a choice.

Treat all positions as if it's the only position, or steer the players through a sequence of sexual maneuvers and then rework that sequence every time I add a new position or kink.

In the end I don't know that there is a perfect solution so I opted to treat every position as if it were the only one, and just let the sex scenes become an all you can fuck buffet where people can eat as much or as little as they like and then move on.

I don't disagree with your analysis at all. But decisions had to be made.

Changing her last name in the txt file doesn't change it in the planner, at least it didn't for me. Something is fucky with the variables there.

Had you changed it in the planner prior to changing it in the .txt file?

By design, if you change it in game, then changing the file will not do anything. But if you had not changed it in game, altering the file should alter the ingame variables. Let me know if it doesn't appear to be working that way though.

 

[Crimsonfiend76]

Loved the update it was spectacularly sexy, changed the pregnancy chance to 50% to get Cassie pregnant . Think I may need to do a canon run of blue Cassie (as much as I loved Red Cassie's swimsuit)

Loving her blue path, and without tweaking the pregnancy % and leaving it normal, after 6 creampies managed to get her pregnant either on the last or second to last time. Took me only the one time with Jane to knock her up, lol, and 0-2 for Nanami.

 

[Lord_Momentum]

I really enjoyed this chapter. Its probably the best one so far and since i keep thinking that about every update, Im very hopefull about the future of the game.

One question i have though: Do you have any estimation about how many chapters it will take for the pregnancies to manifest themselfes? Or is it going to be a epiloge type of thing?

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

My long term plan is for them to begin exploring the 'meaning' of it all as their story together develops. After they've had more time to reflect and get past all the initial rush of banging. Perhaps I missed the mark though.

I think there is subtle but suitable build-up, including implied history previous to the characters' introductions in the game, letting our imaginations do some of the work. You've hit a great balance of plausible believability without excess exposition, where most VNs go way over or under in that respect. But I'm playing through this chapter having recently played through the original content, with that build-up fresh on my mind. That likely makes a big difference in some players' reactions, especially considering that the builds are split now and many haven't seen or haven't done a fresh playthrough of the old chapters.

Though I don't personally think it's needed, if you were going to make any edits at all in this build-up, I'd reserve it for the previous chapters. This one was just about perfect, imo.

Perhaps I missed the mark though.

The talk they had after it did satisfy some of that, I just felt it was a little too absent in the giant sex scene itself. But maybe that's just another consequence of my general dislike of how you write these scenes. It felt a lot like how bad incest games handle incest, which is basically just a single variable swap and otherwise nobody dwells on it.

This is one of those places I was forced to compromise between the porn and narrative aspects of the product. I've designed the menu to be infinitely expandable so that as patreons request new positions be added to the game, the list of kinks and positions can grow. However, I have no way of knowing which positions or combinations there of a player might choose. I certainly don't want to dictate the necessity of certain positions or kinks, so I had to make a choice.

Good writing and flow during sex scenes is important to me, so having a plug & play menu of positions that all come with samey dialogue isn't worth the tradeoff of being able to pick whatever I like 20 times in a row. I think this is a case where player choice actively hurts the narrative. If you're absolutely wedded to this way of doing things I would think about introducing some constraints that allow you to build more unique dialogue during sex scenes. Like maybe have a choice between three positions in the middle and have a more set beginning and end instead of "choice between these two" into "choice between these two" into "choice between these two and also you can have a cumshot on each of them, just keep going!" I would delete half the renders if I could get some more interesting and expressive writing, but maybe that's just me.

Had you changed it in the planner prior to changing it in the .txt file?

No, it correctly changes it in the "rebuild your savefile" dialogue thing with Amana, but the name is still "H...Something" in the notebook and you have to change it ingame. Just tried it again with a fresh install.

 

[RomanHume]

Just wondering if this has been answered: is there a list on which girls in which order will be worked on? Or at the very least, which girl will the next update be centered around?

So Lupita is up next. Who I work on after that will be determined by a patron poll. However, when I do the patron polls for who to develop next, I limit the choices to characters who are underdeveloped. This way we don't get stuck in a rut overdeveloping two or three characters while the rest languish.

As I get into the groove of live streaming I want to start spending 3 days on next chapter, 1 day on chapter after that, and 1 day on asset development or reworking old content. This way I'm moving ahead steadily on the newest content and by the time it drops, I'm already half way to the next release which will then get 3 days a week of development time.

This is the tentative plan I want to start experimenting with.

I would be interested to read more on your thoughts here if you are inclined to share.

It's simple. I try to animate in Daz and Daz is all like...




Jokes aside. My experience with Daz as a company is:
"Hey, we should include this feature!"
They then hand the job off to an intern.
The intern comes back and says, "Ok, here's a prototype! Still has some bugs in it but it's a start."
The managers take one look at it and say "This is fucking Great! Troy, add this to the next version!...no...don't worry about it. It's good to go."
And then Troy says, "This is a pretty basic feature most 3D programs already have built in. Why don't we sell it as an add-on!"

Fucking Brilliant TROY! Selling me a poorly implemented standard feature as a fucking add-on...that probably won't work with future versions.

Used to by defaul Daz didn't have any kind of graph editor or key frame editor that came bundled with it. It might now, I don't know.

But back when I had bought those...separately. They were broken as hell. Keyframes would just disappear. Or I would highlight keyframes and they would disappear from the editor, but the values were still there. So it was like it just deleted the keyframe icon without actually deleting the key frame.

Locking joints does absolutely fuck all to help with animation, so even if you set a key frame, move ahead, and then try and use kinematics to set the final position, locked joints still slide all over the place and every automatically generated key frame between point a and b is fucked up and has to be deleted (if it still shows up in the editor) or one by one manually configured, which is stupid.

I have this issue with most Daz add-ons and built in features. They simply don't perform the functions they are designed to perform well.

oh ok this really sad but its fine by me UwU.

I won't rule out a dream sequence or holiday special. But in the end, I use my character's personalities to guide the story. It's what makes writing the drama so easy because I "know" who they are. But with that kind of detail comes some limitations on what I can and cannot make the characters do.

Before the chapter explained the film's plot and displayed the screenshot, I figured Roman was alluding to

At this time there is no Android version. Now that the new gui for v2.0.0 has been distributed and tested. I know it works well enough that I can start working on customizing it to work with mobile devices. As it is now, most of the features won't scale well to a mobile screen and so I need to build custom variants. I just didn't want to do that before I had 'finalized' the look of v2.0.0.

Admittedly my android skills are sub par to non-existent. So while I'm dedicated to working on this and making it happen, I can't give any kind of estimate on completion at this time.

You know originally there were no color coding menu choices. The whole game was meant to be played 'blind'. But then players on F95 wanted the color codes and it seemed like a good enough idea that we decided to make it something you can toggle. Same with shuffling the choices.

Yeah, still can't react..

Decision theory would tell you that giving more choices cannot be bad. I personally don't think that is true, as we players need not be rational XD..

But it is true that I think your approach of giving the choice and leaving the player choose is better here. After all, you may want to have the option when you repeat it.

Might want to suggest in the introduction when the sexy doc is informing us on the option that: This feature can be disabled for better immersion. There are no wrong right or wrong choices here, simply different ways in which the story will developed

Or something like that. Anyway.. My first playthrough was all blind.. super fun.

No comments about the cheating stuff? haha I am very interested in what will be the approach of that subject in game.

Jokes aside. My experience with Daz as a company is:
"Hey, we should include this feature!"
They then hand the job off to an intern.
The intern comes back and says, "Ok, here's a prototype! Still has some bugs in it but it's a start."
The managers take one look at it and say "This is fucking Great! Troy, add this to the next version!...no...don't worry about it. It's good to go."
And then Troy says, "This is a pretty basic feature most 3D programs already have built in. Why don't we sell it as an add-on!"

Fucking Brilliant TROY! Selling me a poorly implemented standard feature as a fucking add-on...that probably won't work with future versions.

Used to by defaul Daz didn't have any kind of graph editor or key frame editor that came bundled with it. It might now, I don't know.

But back when I had bought those...separately. They were broken as hell. Keyframes would just disappear. Or I would highlight keyframes and they would disappear from the editor, but the values were still there. So it was like it just deleted the keyframe icon without actually deleting the key frame.

Locking joints does absolutely fuck all to help with animation, so even if you set a key frame, move ahead, and then try and use kinematics to set the final position, locked joints still slide all over the place and every automatically generated key frame between point a and b is fucked up and has to be deleted (if it still shows up in the editor) or one by one manually configured, which is stupid.

I have this issue with most Daz add-ons and built in features. They simply don't perform the functions they are designed to perform well.



I won't rule out a dream sequence or holiday special. But in the end, I use my character's personalities to guide the story. It's what makes writing the drama so easy because I "know" who they are. But with that kind of detail comes some limitations on what I can and cannot make the characters do.



*make a note*



At this time there is no Android version. Now that the new gui for v2.0.0 has been distributed and tested. I know it works well enough that I can start working on customizing it to work with mobile devices. As it is now, most of the features won't scale well to a mobile screen and so I need to build custom variants. I just didn't want to do that before I had 'finalized' the look of v2.0.0.

Admittedly my android skills are sub par to non-existent. So while I'm dedicated to working on this and making it happen, I can't give any kind of estimate on completion at this time.



You know originally there were no color coding menu choices. The whole game was meant to be played 'blind'. But then players on F95 wanted the color codes and it seemed like a good enough idea that we decided to make it something you can toggle. Same with shuffling the choices.

There is a good practice called "Agile". Read about this, it helps to manage your time and work faster.

One question i have though: Do you have any estimation about how many chapters it will take for the pregnancies to manifest themselfes? Or is it going to be a epiloge type of thing?

I don't have a hard limit on that yet. I'm thinking four or five. I want to build up the relationship a bit more and then allow pregnancy to be part of the ongoing narrative. It will not be an epilogue thing thought. To many fun possibilities to pass up if we did that!

I think there is subtle but suitable build-up, including implied history previous to the characters' introductions in the game, letting our imaginations do some of the work. You've hit a great balance of plausible believability without excess exposition, where most VNs go way over or under in that respect. But I'm playing through this chapter having recently played through the original content, with that build-up fresh on my mind. That likely makes a big difference in some players' reactions, especially considering that the builds are split now and many haven't seen or haven't done a fresh playthrough of the old chapters.

I appreciate the detailed feedback mate!

The talk they had after it did satisfy some of that, I just felt it was a little too absent in the giant sex scene itself. But maybe that's just another consequence of my general dislike of how you write these scenes. It felt a lot like how bad incest games handle incest, which is basically just a single variable swap and otherwise nobody dwells on it.

Fair enough.

Good writing and flow during sex scenes is important to me, so having a plug & play menu of positions that all come with samey dialogue isn't worth the tradeoff of being able to pick whatever I like 20 times in a row. I think this is a case where player choice actively hurts the narrative. If you're absolutely wedded to this way of doing things I would think about introducing some constraints that allow you to build more unique dialogue during sex scenes. Like maybe have a choice between three positions in the middle and have a more set beginning and end instead of "choice between these two" into "choice between these two" into "choice between these two and also you can have a cumshot on each of them, just keep going!" I would delete half the renders if I could get some more interesting and expressive writing, but maybe that's just me.

Again, I don't disagree. But writing sex scenes is challenging as it is. When you consider how many sex scenes are likely to be in this game by the time it's done, it really does tax the thesaurus to constantly come up with new and unique descriptions for what are essentially the same actions in 75% of the sex scenes.

I would love it if I could make every sex scene verbally unique but I also know the limits of my own power. That's why I rely so heavily on the imagery in those scenes because how many ways can you describe fucking without falling to repetition?

Right now, the dialogue and the descriptions in the sex scenes are different depending on whether you're on the blue path or the red path. I fear any more complication than that may lead to extra development on what are already the longest and most difficult scenes to develop.

Again, I certainly don't disagree with anything you're suggesting. I'm just sharing my rationale for why I made some of the creative decisions I did. I appreciate you taking the time though to deep dive this with me.

No, it correctly changes it in the "rebuild your savefile" dialogue thing with Amana, but the name is still "H...Something" in the notebook and you have to change it ingame. Just tried it again with a fresh install.

I'll definitely add this to the list of glitches to look into. Thanks for letting me know.
