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

Some suggestions:

The top level patch is a .rpyc. Include the .rpy instead. Don't make me run it through unren to see what it does.

You've got a lot of stuff in the patch that doesn't need to be there, in the "tl" directory. You don't need both .rpy and .rpyc files. The .rpyc files are generated from the .rpy files. Cut the size down and you can attach it instead of uploading it to mega.

Doing the patch as a translation is very inefficient. You're duplicating every line of dialog to only change a few. Better would be a patch that acts like @bossapplesauce 's

handle incest stuff. A small patch sets a persistent variable, which is checked when displaying certain dialog, like this:

                if game.is_special:
                    "{i}Soon, you're both completely absorbed by the music and the dance and everything else falls away. Your sister smiles at you."
                else:
                    "{i}Soon, you're both completely absorbed by the music and the dance and everything else falls away. Your friend smiles at you."

While we appreciate that it would take very little for us to make it easier to "flip the switch", Patreon has kicked our dicks in once before and we want to give them zero reason to ever suspect we aren't on the level. The day will come when we are working on the next game and we can release a "Director's Cut" of DAST001. But not until it is completely out from under Patreon's shadow.

I want them to have zero additional leverage. That's just the short and sweet of it.

That's reasonable.

But maybe some anonymous enterprising hacker (initials R.H.?) could do a text substitution mod, and have it uploaded to Lewd Patcher...

Added unofficial incest patch to OP!
It's time for some thrilling heroics!

 

[dstarfire]

Am I doing something wrong? I see more content in the preview pictures in the OP but in-game it says I've reached the end of the content after telling the doctor about emily and the pool story.

The dev recently restarted the game, and haven't quite caught up with all of the original story, so there are some scenes that the current release hasn't reached yet. Next one is supposed to bring the reboot back to where the old version was at.

The top level patch is a .rpyc. Include the .rpy instead. Don't make me run it through unren to see what it does.

I didn't consider this, and I'll change it whenever a new version is warranted.

You've got a lot of stuff in the patch that doesn't need to be there, in the "tl" directory. You don't need both .rpy and .rpyc files. The .rpyc files are generated from the .rpy files. Cut the size down and you can attach it instead of uploading it to mega.

This was a mistake on my part. I intended to delete all the .rpyc files and forgot. As is, it's still under half a megabyte, and I'm really not worried about fixing it until a new version is needed.

This, I disagree with.
Bossapplesauce's mod is more efficient in that it only includes the corrections necessary, yes. It's also a more complex approach that I feel isn't warranted for simply correcting a few lines of dialogue. The translation approach also makes it much easier for anyone else to modify in the event I missed a line. It also makes it easier for someone to substitute their own changes should they wish.

Question: is there a walkthrough? Game is quite complex ...

Question: is there a walkthrough? Game is quite complex ...

There was an unofficial walkthrough somewhere a few pages back in this thread.

And if I can shamefully plug our Patreon. There is the official walk through available to $5 patrons. We only have one patron tier, $5.

$5 gets access to everything, walkthroughs, early releases, content polls, nude character wall papers, teasers, discord rewards, the whole thing, lock stock and fucking lot. We think it's a hell of a deal!

Cheers mate!

I am absolutely loving the remaster and reworking of the script. Great job so far, looking forward to the completion

Awesome mate we're glad to hear it! I know we generated a lot of unhappiness when we did the reboot, but it seems people are warming up to it and I think soon we'll hit a point where the alpha is a distant memory. A fragmented first attempt at something awesome.

Thanks for playing our game and thanks for taking the time to let us know what you think.

Salute!

I wish I could add it to the OP. Just go to our webpage (link in the sig) and go to downloads. It's under v0.9.0.

Thanks.

Here's a quick incest patch for anyone that just can't get their rocks off without it:

Instructions: extract inside the main DAST folder


(Personally, I think the game is fine as it is. It seems pretty clear to me that Roger is deliberately (and kinda awkwardly) lying to Doctor Amana about his exact relationship with Cassie. This is more of a "viewing thru someone else's perspective" than a "self-insert" kind of experience. We're just kinda watching Roger talk to his therapist and nudging his past decisions slightly this way or slightly that way.)

Thanks man, you are awesome.

heh, I was wondering if someone was going to patch it. I knew Ianv wouldn't because...he completely respects and even agrees with Patreon's rules ... but I was thinking his...fans...neighbors'...people would do it. Bravo.

We don't agree with Patreon so much as we have to respect where our bacon comes from. We aren't the type to cut off our noses to spite our face. We want to keep working so we gotta play by the rules. Cheers!

So the mechanic is already there. So if you left pregnancy turned on, then there is a chance you've already gotten Nanami or Emily pregnant. However, the results of that outcome won't appear until later in the story. We'll have a whole side arc to play out around it.

I love this quote, I want to get as many of them pregnant as possible and build a Harem But that might be asking for to much. I'll take the daughter.... I mean.... the "neighbour's" daughter and her friends as the minimum

On a more critique note though, as a 20$ Patreon for a long time, I am sad that you seem to be getting lazy after getting the new computer up and everything ready after the crash. You used to be updating the game on 2-3 week basis with the story always going a little forward each time, but now you have version 1.0.1 up released now in late September, while the version 1.0.0 was in mid July for Patreons.
I do hope that this will not become a habit, delaying the game for such a long time over and over again because then I will start to feel cheated.

That is a fair critique and while this last update did take far too long (Gambit, for whatever reason was stalling and we've since taken him off the project). I can't point the finger and say it's all his fault. I take the blame for not keeping a closer watch on our team's productivity.

Meanwhile a lot has expanded on the back end. The original pool scene I think consisted of less than 20 renders. The new pool scene was shy of 200. The Emily shower scene originally had about 30, this time we came in at close to 140. The first pool scene had I think three or four dialogue options. The new one had over 20 when all the different paths are considered.

I'm not saying your wrong, and this last update did absolutely take too long. No denying it, but our goal is to make future updates come quicker. But on the back end of this thing we are putting much more time into developing each scene and increasing the render count exponentially. We probably could get by with fewer renders, but personally I love seeing the little nuances that occur between lines of dialogue. A raised eyebrow or curious glance. It just makes the characters feel more alive. More beautiful.

To make sure that we don't break saves, we are tagging every dialogue choice a player makes in case we want to use the results of a choice in a later scene. It's overkill and leads to extra time cataloging, but it will be worth it so that we never have to tell players they have to start over with a new release.

I know you personally have been a VERY strong contributor to this project and we do not want to let you down. Your name carries weight on our team for your strong and consistent contributions. Right now we are hoping to have Monica's chapter out next week or the week after at the latest. We are making the move back to the small frequent updates because when we operated under that model there was more accountability on our team.

I promise we will be working overtime to help rebuild everyone's confidence in our project.

Salute mate.

Salute mate.

I do realize that and believe me, the game does looks fantastic... just... don't make it a habit of delaying it like this.

Salute

1- Use

You must be registered to see the links

to extract the .rpa file. Put the unren.bat in the same file as the exe, drag the exe onto the unren.bat file. Choose option 1 to extract the archive.rpa. Move the archive.rpa file out of the /game folder for a backup or delete it.

2- Go into the game/_Characters/Cassie folder and open the cassie01.rpy file with an editor like Notepad++. Note- regular notepad is tricky since it doesn't have line numbers listed on the left column. I suggest using Notepad++ for that very reason. Go to line 2013. Look at the lines just above and below it. It says " with dissolve".
That's what it's supposed to say. It was misspelled and that caused the error so change 'disoslve' to 'dissolve' then save it.

3- Run game and try again! Yay! Fixed!

When more of us learn to do bugfixes on our own, our imput becomes much more valuable. Devs would rather hear from an army of bug fixers than complaints. They'd have an onslaught of solutions instead of problems. And you can't fix it, please report it anyways so those of us who can do bugfixes but haven't triggered it specifically can fix it or help you do just that.
So please keep reporting bugs and being specific like the posts quoted above.
Second, if you have bugfixing chops and/or actually fixed something, let us know!
