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

[RomanHume]

I will keep an eye on this game. I just finished it and at least Cassie looks very promising, and hopefully the wife will be developed as well. I'll check back in a year.

And despite the naysayers, I'll be here and looking forward to your return! In the meantime, I appreciate you checking out the game. Cheers mate!

i hope android version will available soon

Android is the slow burning bane of my existence. I created the UI without much though to Android, only later to realize that it doesn't port well at all. So in between all the other developmental stuff I'm having to slowly build an Android specific UI for the planner and extra menus and stuff.

It's slow work because the way it displays in the Android Emulator is not the way it displays on an actual Android device. So I have to code, compile, install, test and repeat and the compile/install part of the operation takes a stupid long time.

I can't give any kind of eta at the moment, all I can say is that I'm working on it.

Hey guys,
i wish you all merry chrismas

I know I'm late, but to you as well!

So when is the next update?

At the moment it's about 70% complete. I just have two more scenes to create art for.

Doesn't look like there's any blowjobs in here. Also the renders are almost good, but not good enough nowadays, so i'll pass. Very grainy look

At the moment you can get blown by Lita and Lola. But yeah, my renders are shit. I always said if there was one place I was willing to compromise quality, it was with the visuals. Most of the art is just slopped together in a matter of minutes. People haven't noticed yet, but I used the same model for Amanda, Cassie and Jane. I just changed the hair. People are so gullible. I can appreciate that you didn't fall for it though...

This is very grainy?

Why did you have to share that?! I'm actually embarrassed by the lack of time, effort and love I put into that image. Truth is I put that whole image together one handed on a tablet while taking a crap and brushing my teeth...
Seriously, no effort was applied at all in the creation of that image...

Have not played in a while have we got to fuck the daughter yet I think her name is cassie

I'm working on an Amanda update at the moment, but Cassie fuckage will occur in the update following that. I work as often as I can, but the intervals make it difficult for me to give an estimate. But yes, it is coming in update after next. Check back in two or three months and Cassie should be pregnant...wait! I mean, bangable! I mean.......you can love her like you want to love her.

WHOA! I MEAN, THERE'S NO DAUGHTER! THAT WOULD GET ME IN TROUBLE WITH PATREON!! THERE'S NO DAUGHTER!!

Nop.
Game is developed slowly because dev lost his team (supposedly) and he is preoccupied with work, family, etc...
It is unclear when the next update will even be. I don't have much hope for this one, it has abandonment written all over it.

Well I can't really say I'm shocked alot of really good games get abandoned so hopefully the dev finds a new team before choosing to abandon the game

If I find some artists that want to help, that would be great. But in the meantime, I've spent a great deal of time, effort, money and energy in learning everything I need to learn so that production can continue. I dare say, I think some of the solo work I've done was even better than that of my previous team. But that could just be me tooting my own horn.

As the writer for the game though, I have too much love for the characters and my story to let it die. That's why I spent several months last year just learning everything I could about digital art and rendering. Hours and hours sunk into tutorials, tests and online classes.

So team or no team, this game goes on!

The dev is NOT abandoning the game, there have been dev updates recently, not every dev updates the game every month.

I certainly wish I could produce every month. I have enough story already written to carry me through next year. I just have to get all the art finished. That's the most time consuming part. But I think starting next week I'm going to stream some of the art production just so people can see what goes into it and how long it takes.

I am glad that you are so sure. So how many updates were this year and how much content?

In short, as much as I was able to produce between my other obligations.

I know I'm late, but to you as well!

Better late than never .I want to wish you and the others a happy new year.For me is the new year in 4 hours

 

[RomanHume]

So if i were to patreon pledge this guy would i have access to the version of the game I can get here or some other upgraded version...? (For instance it is said on his patreon page that he is working on chapter 4 for some characters... do we have access to these chapters here yet?) are we at chapter 2 or chapter 3?

In short, $10+ patrons get to play test and bug check the scenes as they become available. Several scenes together make up a chapter and when an entire chapter is done it gets released as the most recent version.

So as Sagah kindly points out, you can play test the individual scenes as they are done, but really you'll just be experiencing the chapter a few minutes at a time. Also, the playtest material is downloaded a scene at a time, so you don't have to wait for the entire game to download, you just download the new material, plug it in and play test.

It's a good deal for people who simply can't wait, who want to help bug test scenes in small chunks before release, and who generally just want to sneak peek what is coming up.

For what it's worth, whether a person pledge $10 or $1, I'm grateful for every honest sent invested in the project. I'm not trying to hoard the game for maximum profit. My patrons aren't customers, they're investors. And I try to make my tiers reflective of the amount of work that goes into each reward.

And even if you don't want to support the game financially, I still appreciate feedback and recommendations if you think the game is good enough to merit it. I listen to the criticisms of every player, patron and non-patron alike.

Cheers mate!

So every character has their own chapters. Currently he's working on Amanda's Chapter 2 and is releasing her scenes for playtesting few scenes at a time. So far we have scenes 1-4 available for $10+ patrons, but note that it's not the full Amanda chapter yet, i believe the chapter 2 for Amanda is 6 scenes long if i remember correctly.
The version numbering has really only updated for the full releases so far and we are technically still at 1.0.7b, but the latest Amanda scenes were labeled as 1.1.2 if that matters to some of you.
So if you pledge $10 or more, you can play the newest Amanda stuff right away, but the story isn't finished yet so you might want to wait, your call.
I'm sure RomanHume has more specific answers since i can't guarantee to know everything, just what i remember from Patreon and Discord posts.

No you pretty much nailed it on the head here! Salute!

 

[blackmagic616]

And the paradox continues. People don't want to support me because I'm not a full time developer, and I cannot become a full time developer without support.

Why don't you try to make a serious game on Steam? I am, seriously. The story about Dragon Lady (Nanami Sakamura), conspiracy against Arthur, and blackmailing the IT guy at strip club is awesome! Why not focus on this? It could be a solid adventure game, even without sexual content (although you can always make it optional).
This game doesn't really need a maid or personal trainer, unless you use them for intrigue in the company (e.g. maid stealing documents from Arthur house or planting a listening device there, female personal trainer hanging out with a married member of the supervisory board, just to compromise him).

 

[prrt]

I have to say I'm disapointed lately .
Follow this thread to see peeps who vent their frustration by attacking the dev being burned down to their shoelaces by said dev.
It's so dignified and the dev so mellow now .

No fear about the game , pretty sure we get an update next year .

I've had steam suggested to me before I just haven't had the time to really explore it as a distribution option. I definitely agree that seven characters is too many, but that's hindsight at this point. There is a following for Monica and Lupita though and many have expressed potential disappointment if they were to be cut. So I don't know, I'm still wrestling with a solution to that problem.

For what it's worth, their stories do tie into the main narrative of the corporate conflict. I just haven't been able to tell enough of their tale to show how all the pieces fit together.

 

[jamdan]

For Lupita and Monica, just make them a part of someone elses story.

Lupita is MC's and Emily's maid, she can be a part of Emily's story. They have to know each other, perhaps they become friends and MC can either cheat on Emily with her or somehow convince Emily to experiment with her and MC. Or even Emily cheats on MC with Lupita.

Monica is a personal trainer that no one else knows yet, but maybe Nanami and MC go to the gym sometime and Monica is there to train them. Maybe it turns out that she is submissive, Nanami would probably like that. Lots of opportunity for sexual encounters at the gym.

That seems to be a simple explanation of how to still have some of their content in the game, but not as main LI's. They enhance the other girls routes. That would also give all of the main LI's a "side-girl", although im counting Amanda/Jane/Cassie together.

 

[Mondoblasto]

RomanHume Quick note for scripting typo I found, probably forgot to report earlier. Hope this helps you with trying to nail them all down. Basically, a 'Mr. Harrington' was missed in MC custom naming conversion.

Secretary: "I'm sorry Mr. Harrington, but Ms. Sakamura has asked not to be..."

Edit:
I updated with the patch you mentioned in your reply, but unfortunately, the Amanda corruption naming error is still there.

Because I usually went after work, the place I had my membership was in building[sic] down town.

Also I believe it's usually 'downtown'.

I just found 'The Rick' contact entry, and was highly amused that the polaroid lists 'The' as his first name.

 

[gigan]

when i searched with notepad for the word Mr. Harrington in all the script files ( i think that i open all ) i have found 2 .Both are in Nanami folder.One is chapter01\scene01\ns0101.rpy in the line 283 and the second is in nanami\chapter01\scene02\ns0102.rpy line 521

 

[gigan]

I updated with the patch you mentioned in your reply, but unfortunately, the Amanda corruption naming error is still there.

could you maybe upload the file ac0101.rpy? it is in the folder game\images\chapters\amanda\chapter01\scene01.I attach my file here.Maybe this is working by you.In the script is written It\'s easy. You just look at me and say \'[ac.pName], you\'re a crazy son of a bitch.

 

[Mondoblasto]

could you maybe upload the file ac0101.rpy?

Sure, and ty for clearly directing me to it.

If it makes you feel any better, I have over 50 planned, though not all are LIs, and of the ones that are, only 5 are main, a number of side, and a lot of background women.

 

[gigan]

Sure, and ty for clearly directing me to it.

thanks.Strange it looks like the same sentence in my script file.What comes in the 4th sentence after that ingame? In the script file is written: amanda '"[ac.pName], you\'re crazy..."'.It comes after the sentence She hung on the moment for a bit before easing in to it.
Edit: I have played the until this scene and i don´t have this error.I have make an sceenshot from that.And i have create an screenshot from the second sceen what i have ask you

 

[gigan]

RomanHume i think there is an "bug" or an mistake in the Amanda pet think.When you define in the diary my Amanda the section "i call her" an name she say that to the mc instead that the mc called her so.I have make 3 screnshots and i attach my save file for you.It is 1 sentence before the screenshot2

 

[Mondoblasto]

I get the same continuing error on my end. I had started up a quick new game to check stuff like this, and as I hadn't nicknamed Amanda, it happened to instead default to 'Amanda', which is basically the same error.

Checking with a Cassie .rpy file, ac.pName does happen to be used for Amanda.

You must be registered to see the links

[Mondoblasto]

Your files were incompatible with my saves and produced errors on trying to load some of them.

To keep things clear, my version is v1.0.7b+bugfix. I delete the previous version files and replace them with the newest version I've d/led, and I never overwrite the files unless it's a bugfix.

 

[AwooHarpy]

This game is really well written holy hell

my version 1.0.7b+bugfix too.I think the incompatible is caused that i use the incest patch and there is changed 2 script files with jump commands or maybe there is something wrong with your version but i have no idea what.I attach you an screenshot which version i have
