Ren'Py - Dreamer Life [Ep.1 v1.0] [Raw-Imagine]

[v0.9]

• The AI filter looks uncanny half the time, it's also poorly edited on the dev's end so we sometimes see stuff right out of horror media. Faces aren't very consistent, especially when they show any sort of emotion.
• Every character is constantly staring at the camera, which makes me feel uncomfortable, considering their uncanny looking faces.
• The writing's not good, I mean there are lots of typos and wrong grammar, but besides that none of the characters are believable. Why are they showing you their pussies like it's not a big deal?
• This is the kind of sandbox VN with unholy amounts of stat grind and scene repetition.
• You have to look for girls to interact with in every room of the house like it's some kind of hide-and-seek.
• The fact that you can only buy stuff and work at the computer which is only available sometimes and you have to actively hunt for it just pisses me off.

At some point I got stuck in the progression and the hints don't help at all, I already do everything I'm told and nothing happens. Like it says that I should increase the girls Lust stats, but none of the interactions achieve that. It seems the game is just poorly programmed with very loose conditions for triggering events. If there are any sex scenes I do not know how to get to them.

1 star might seem harsh, enhancing HS2 renders with AI to give them more realistic look is a novel idea, but this is objectively a horribly designed game, that is when it even works properly.

Excellent Game for me.
But it might increase the enjoyment of playing if there were more moving scenes in important scenes, which I think the author should be able to adjust. But now I'm playing this game so much that I've forgotten the time. The graphics are very beautiful. The story might not be different from other stories. This is not a problem at all.

[v0.7]


I waited impatiently updating this game.... But the disappointment was great. Initially I really liked the AI graphics since it really made the characters look a lot like the real ones (at least as much as possible). Now when the scenes start, the graphics change for the worse: the characters suddenly become asian, they seem to have been created suddenly from Honey Select or taken from those parody porn series, where the characters look a bit like the real ones. There's a fantastic scene in the MC's rooms with Emma, where in the background a poster suddenly becomes Emma moving, like the paintings on the stairs at Hogwarts. The only thing that needed to be improved from the start was the navigation UI, which is bad. You select to go back to the room and the background of the scene remains on the hallway for example, but the room icons come out.... Too bad it was a good game

I gave one star only for the visuals. Everything else is disgusting. 1) There is no animation in the sex scenes. 2) The gameplay is extremely stupid and uninteresting - grind, grind, grind. 3) Sometimes it is not clear at all what the game wants, the hints are absolutely no help. The plot of the game is ordinary: an aunt, her daughters, and off we go... I did not like the game.

Endless grind, lousy navigation. Renders are ok. The grind just never seems to end or have any purpose. Just wasted 2 hours hoping to see some of the images displayed on the OP but it never happened. So if you love an endless grind, go for it. As for me, it's already on my ignore list.

[v0.2]
Horrible navigation
horrible grind
Story is okayish
Renders not bad
Hints button is bad
No sex
no bugs
Would wait for more content
Could use a gallery
Not a fan of the younger sister her body and how big here breast are compared to her older sister

[v0.2]
It's still early in development, but I think it's worth recognising the potential in the game so far.
The main differentiator in this title are the models. Though, they are AI-generated, the visuals are impressive. The dev has managed to create models that maintain their appearance in a variety of different poses and clothing choices. I really like the models and can't wait to see more, so I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this title for that aspect alone.
The gameplay is a bit rough at the moment. There is a little bit of grind, but the main hassle is knowing how to progress with each character. Though there is a hint function, it could be made more clearer as to the next steps that should be performed by the player. With a bit more work to streamline the gameplay, this could be a really good title.

[v0.2]

A pretty average at home style sandboxy slow relationship grind kind of VN, with an interesting twist of using AI conversion over Honey select images

Currently its on the jankier, grindier side with waifu schedules changing each day of the 7 day week with a slow progression to the events
But I feel like this one has a more promising future than others of its type, if the content can be developed on a consistent, or at least communicated pace

I will say that there are major UI pains and quality of life changes that would greatly improve the experience:
- currently having to click a button for navigation to have only a text based list. I would suggest looking at something like my new neighbours where they have the navigation almost always available as thats the majority of the clicking, as well as having a symbol or something letting the player know that theres an event available or character to interact with

- having your energy visible at all times, as its a pain to click through menus to see how much an event takes or if you have enough for the day

- Computer access is strangely limited, being at the whims of waifu schedule, as well as sacrificing that time slot for using it

- It would also be nice for a quick skip time button as well, since its so schedule based

I can see how much effort the dev is putting in as not only does he have to do the HS renders, but also getting the AI to behave right (granted i dont know what software they use or how much they pay for it) which for sure adds on a bunch of time and organization

all an all there's a small but decent chunk of more unique content if you stick through it (and maybe some slight money n energy cheating)

3 stars + 1 promising star

Hey Pondloso,
so here is some Feedback:

Well, to simplify it, i will call the AI-Upscaled Images "Renders".

Pro:

1. Renders: The Renders (in most Cases) look absolutely amazing and well... a lot better than in most other Games! I guess the AI is more a benefit than having to render everything for hours yourself. Sure, AI Upscaling/Post Processing takes time too, but not as much as Rendering yourself in such quality.
2. Navigation: The Amount of places to visit is good, not too much and not too few.
3. Gameplay: For a first Release you get a good glimpse of what may await you in the future!
4. Dialogues: Not too long and not too much unnecessary information.
5. UI: Well, it is a first Release, to i do not expect too much.
6. NSFW: The Girls are extremely cute and sexy. You should definately find a solution to add some animations.

Contra:

1. Renders: Some Renders have some strange glitches (e.G. Missing Hand, Emmas Leg on Sofa is hidden by the Sofa which shouldnt be possible etc. Well, nothing extremely obvious, that meets the Eye on first glimpse, but if you take a good look, for some time at the Renders, you can clearly see these things. Especially the MC looks off in many Scenes.
2. Navigation: The Navigation Menu isn't good at all. It is annoying that it stays open when you are in a location where you could initiate a dialogue and it is also annoying that it automatically closes after initiating a dialogue. Well, buttons like the "Dialogue" for the different locations would be much better. Maybe even with a little Character Icon on it, if someone is at this location.
3. Gameplay: For a Sandbox Game you definately need something like a Quest-Tracker to not get lost. At the Moment there does not seem to be any kind of "Quest". Also the "AutoTriggers" like Breakfast etc. should be replaced by choices with a "back" option.
4. Dialogues: Some Dialogues are a lot too "offensive" for a character which just arrived there for one day. Pond is just too extremely flirty at this early stage IMHO. And yeh, you said that English is not your native language, but if you plan to advance the Game, you should get a proofreader early on. There are a lot of guys out there, which are doing this for free
5. UI: Could be a lot prettier. Something linke a Energy-Bar (having to look at the Stats for it are too many clicks), Navigation Buttons etc. There should be a "Back" option in some Cases (e.G. Swimming at the Pool) else there is no way to cancel it, but by rolling back.
6. NSFW: The overall progression is a lot too fast. The Girls are too revealing. At this Pace Pond would have Fucked all of them in a week.

Overall i see a lot of potential in this Game.
