Ren'Py Completed Dreaming of Dana [v0.099] [PTOLEMY]

[a1fox3]

I have around 150 points with Dana, Maria and Andrea and I haven't met John or Jessica and I can't do anything on the weekends.
The heck is wrong with this game?

There are 2 walkthroughs for this so get both then read them then follow them and you should be ok.

You must be registered to see the links

Not meeting John then you have not done enough of Maria dates to get there yet.
You must do more before Dana will take you on the first weekend away.

 

[Remag]

My stats is like this but i'm doing same things everday. I can't do different things.
Morning: Going office, talking with Dana, eating lunch
Evening: Just watching movie with Dana.
And i can go dinner with Maria and Dana
What i have to do for unlock different things?

People keep recommending this game to me but I gotta know something about the visual quality. All of the teaser images in the OP are very washed and out poorly lit. Now I also acknowledge that those image are probably very old since this thread started in '16.

Has the visual quality improved since those teasers were posted? Bad lighting can ruin immersion for me, but at the same time, this game comes so highly recommended. Just curious what the consensus was.

I'm only part way through the game but I have ripped the images and from what I have seen, they don't appear to get any better. My current impression of this game is that Ptolemy creates a decent story and writes the situations well, but it has absolutely terrible game play requiring a fair bit of grinding and a points system that doesn't actually do much. There are no real paths in that to progress with one girl, you still need to have triggered events with other girls. Since it had been under production for so long and gathered a lot of fans, I think all these fans following from one update to the next kind of see this game with rose coloured glasses. As someone who has only played the finished product, I rate this as strictly average.

That is a very solid critique and I can't thank you enough for sharing it. With all that in mind, maybe I'll try it for an hour and then reassess my feelings on it.

Much appreciated mate. Thanks!

A tip - you don't need to grind more than 50 points in any stat.

I'm not a visual artist like you are, so I don't notice a lot of what you do, but I really liked the story and images.

Thanks for the tip.

And visual artist is perhaps too kind. I think visual anal-ist would be more appropriate. I've asked Fecal to go back and re-render entire sets of images because a hand was a fraction of an inch above a surface and the shadows gave it away. Or because a finger was clipping slightly through a thigh. And then he calls me a dick, but admits I'm right and the images get re-done and are perfect afterwards. He's actually gotten better at catching that shit before I do because he hates doing re-renders.

It's just been my experience that players will suffer a game if it has good graphics or good writing. I like to think the best games have both. I've downloaded this one and will give it a try this weekend if I get some free time. Looking forward to it. And who knows, maybe I'll get into it and come to appreciate the visuals as part of the game's style.

Just as long as you're not a visual anal-rapist!

I'm not sure why this is in 'popular games', to be honest. It's quite mediocre. Average quality renders, constant repeated scenes (sometimes in a row), forced routes you have no interest in, boring characters, boring story, grammar issues, and several reoccurring bugs.

But then again I'm critiquing a porn game so I've really already lost.

Side-question: How do you display games you like as your signature or whatever (like the person above).

If you have bugs then you have a bad download, I have played all 4 routs and never had a bug come up with the last version of the game.

 

[RichterQ87]

Could be. Still, in comparison to all the other things it's not quite as game-breaking.

 

[MorganFreemansToe]

Android port?

It's in popular games because it's...well...popular. Many people disagree with your opinion.

To answer your side question, you need to have a picture with an URL attached in your signature. Here's the code for mine:

[URL='https://f95zone.com/threads/milfy-city-v0-1f-icstor.8012/'][IMG]https://attachments.f95zone.com/2018/02/80874_mc-fan3.gif[/IMG][/URL][URL='https://f95zone.com/threads/dreams-of-desire-episode-11-v1-0-1-lewdlab-discussion-thread.1904/'][IMG]https://attachments.f95zone.com/2017/09/30483_dreamsofdesire-fan1.gif[/IMG][/URL]

The "[URL=" sets the link, and the "[ IMG]" starts the address of the picture, then "[/IMG]" to end the image address, and "[/URL]" to end the URL. Then it does it again for the 2nd pic.

The "[ IMG]" doesn't have a space; I had to put that in here so it wouldn't treat it as BB Code.

People disagree with my opinion? That's odd. I thought everyone was supposed to agree and share my opinion for my consciousness only allows me to perceive and spectate things from my point of view, and due to an extension of my ego surely everybody should possess a hive-mind mentality and latch onto my view of things instead of forming their own unique and more than likely better personality.

Sorry if that came out as aggressive. I'm a sarcastic asshole to a fault and it's hard to express sarcasm over text.

Thanks for the tip, by the way. Much obliged.

Yeah, well...some people actually think that way. Glad you don't!

You're welcome, BTW.

i dont know why but dana's affection is 57
and all i can do is taking to her at office and having launch
is there any problem ???

How do you open the console?

That's the problem with the points system in this game, we are led to believe that it means more than it does. To progress with any girl in the game requires you to progress with another girl as well, there are no single routes. And you need to trigger specific events regardless of your points. How far have you progressed with Maria and Andrea?

Yup, I felt the same way when this game first came out and found I couldn't play an Andrea only route, so I quit until the whole game was complete. I think there may be a Dana only ending, not sure, but to get there you still need to progress with all the girls.
