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

hey if he manages to optimize his process to deliver more updates quicker it will be worth it in the long run

I can remember a post from him over a year ago where he stated something like "with this kind of overhaul, everything will go faster."
Well for different reasons, nothing rly changed. At this point it just feels like the monorail episode of The Simpsons.

while no more expactations at all, i still look every couple of months if there is something new.

I hope the game will be a single download at some point, because otherwise the choices will not be as important, or at least have the option to import a save at the end of every game "chapter", like many other multi-part Ren'Py games do, that way the experience will continue exactly where we left off, the exact same points, instead of either red or blue.

That is the plan. Dev changed the framework and wants to transfer all old content to the new version.

That's very nice to hear.

I also hope we can see Lola again, and maybe have her as a lover too, as they really had good chemistry (on the blue path), I wouldn't mind "broadening my horizon" even more with her.

Yeah I remember that too - the justification for the delay at that time was to speed up updates afterwards. It's coming up on a year now since the last one though

Maybe the next update is just massive.

 

[Burgh917]

We can hope that's the reason...

Take it easy. He's got a wife and a neighbor's daughter to support.

Well, guessing on that part. No idea. But I'm assuming it's a fuck-ton of real-job work. Based on info he's shared in previous posts, it sounds like he's got an IRL job with pressure and major deadlines, so has no time to hit deadlines on this side gig.

Sucks for us that want the content & it's (understandably for those who were paying) not going to help Patreon support, which would ideally be a way out of the IRL gig. But life be like that sometime.

It's hard to make a quality game when you're not making Summertime Saga scratch and need a real job (not that I'm in any way calling STS a quality game). Are there devs with fulltime jobs squeezing out updates in a timely manner? Sure. But way more often than not, they have to flush right afterwards so the update doesn't stink up the bathroom. Quite a bit harder when you have actual standards for your releases but little time to execute them.

Eye yam disappoint. But what are you gonna do? It's his life and I understand how that goes.

need to ask about the people stats
im just 15 min in, so im still in nanami's
using her for example
say her "dominate" stat
is that me dominating her
or me dominated BY her ?
how do u read these stats lol

edit: btw theres still some minor bugs that defaulted MC's last name back to "Harrington" even when i already changed it
also, the wife's last name is still Harrington lol

If memory serves Blue option is you're submissive, Red option is you're dominant. It's not really subtle in any way though as long as you read the dialogue and choices so I'm not sure why the clarification is needed...

That's what my memory tells me as well regarding red and blue. Generally, even though it plays out differently, red is alpha gorilla banging his chest and wanting fun while blue is woke treehugger afraid to hurt a fly - I may be exaggerating here.

Though especially some of the earlier Nanami situations weren't that clear IIRC - is it more dominant to do stuff yourself showing your capabilities or to delegate them - which can be seen as not having the balls or as "I can tell you what to do".

 

[yangjuelek]

btw
"DAST001"
and "DAST002"

i thought that was some JAV nuke code lol

yes, im that much of a degen

 

[yangjuelek]

another one
i sometimes hear static like a "bzzt" in my speakers
especially during some scenes, most of em did not but still
so far i got 2 occurences, the first pool scene after getting drunk, and the first latino maid scene
idk what caused this, its just this game never any other game

the static is following a pattern too, like its following the BGM
certain sound pitch cause this, i think ?

 

[yangjuelek]

yet another question regarding the versions
i just cleared version 1
ended after the strip club encounter with nanami and lance

so i just go straight download ver 2 ?
is it like "season 2" ?
do i need to move save around or something ?
am i missing anything ?

You can't carry the save over in anyway. Initial relationship status is set in chapter 2 by Dr. Amana asking you questions when you start.

Which better change in the future, because it doesn't give you the exact stats and choices, it's all either all blue or all red, and stats have a different name for most characters in chapter 2.
