Ren'Py DropOut Saga [v0.11.1b] [LazyBloodlines]

[nepheele]

Really loved the prologue. Good story, good mc and good characters.
Loved you used White B. songs too, they're perfect for the story

My save doesn't work now?

 

[DraxisSilencer1000]

Damn is there a way to look for my choices from my previous saves and then start the new game using those information? I don't remember so many of them. I mostly took the more romantic/love choices but there may be some others I'd forgotten.

I love the eye movement in scenes, the attention to detail is great. Updates are too short as usual though. Probably need to wait 3-4 updates to get full enjoyment out of it, so it doesn't feel like an abrupt end or was that it...?
But that's the thing with playing unfinished games I guess.

There is. There is a mod on here called _ZLZK which is a universal wt mod, it's not perfect but it shows the values a choice gives most of the time.

Not sure which version I am running of it, but it worked for me, it told me which choice made in prologue gave corruption or love
attached the one I use here

Thank you for this!

 

[FookU2]

saves got fucked again. guess we have to start over

 

[Nope]

The whole "please remember every choice you made in the prologue" is kinda bs. I have no idea what I chose....you know, kinda the whole point behind having a save is keeping track of that shit.

it's a new chapter, not a restart.

 

[Envoye]

In my opinion, it is a restart with old decisions, because saves don't work. A lot of talking to explain the story. But still slow burn with the school girls. Nothing interesting happened so far. :-(

This game is way to good, I literally have nothing bad to say about it.

My old save worked? I just got done finishing the new update with my old saves.

.... some of the choices chapter one is asking (when starting the game) never even happened and or was content that was blocked off and never re-added... (like texting lila that was in a very early version but was later blocked off) how do you expect people to answer questions about content they never seen...

Edit:
Turns out I'm just a dumb and was confusing it with a different scene/ mis-remembering

 

[LazyBloodlines]

Damn... I just got here. I have a lot of messages to respond to x.x

Hmm... I don't think I added something about texting Lila... Can you tell me which choice is that, exactly?


Regarding remaking the prologue and adding it to the Chapter 1 version... It would be counterproductive right now. Although I want a version where people can play the whole game without downloading different chapters, I still need to ponder if it's best to split up the chapters if the game gets too heavy. The prologue to Chapter 1 had significant differences between the UI and the renders. There are more than 2000 renders in the prologue. Remaking every single one of them would take a lot of time, a time I'd rather spend making more new content for another update.
But I am remaking them bit by bit, especially for the NSFW scenes.
I think it's also a plus regarding the size, especially for mobile users.

I'm adding an option to skip the choices in the beginning for those who want to start to play without reviewing what happened in the prologue.

LazyBloodlines who makes the game is also an uploader here, I'm sure they will upload and post it like they usually do

Unfortunately, my fellow Uploaders beat me to that
They even leaked the Patreon code. Oh, the backstabbing bastards!

I'm thinking of trying this game but I have a doubt, do I need to play the prologue first and then chapter 1 or is everything included in chapter 1 ?

Well... You don't NEED need. But I advise you to play it for a better understanding of the story.

Did chapter 1 start with v0.7.1? looks like I might have missed an update or two

What do you mean?

Wow , high quality Honey Select graphics, with interesting tags and Sandbox.

Downloading . . .

Awwwn... Thanks

i don't get the change made .. having to start anew .. with answering questions ... couldn't have just continued where we left off ... what changed ? reply ? ... i mean updated reply ....
well doesn't really matter .. i am just curious .... awesome game .. i'm a fan

keep up the great work

I changed the UI to 1080p, which made all other renders and elements unusable. I've also cleaned up the code a bit. And Ren'py was updated to v8.0.3, which uses Python 3 now instead of Python 2. And if I'm not mistaken, the prologue was made in Python 2, because Renpy was v7.x
I might be mistaken on that last part, though. It's been a while since I worked on the prologue now.

Was playing the prologue and got to the part where the boy and girl got jumped by 5 random gangsters... and the MC yelled at the boy for "leaving" his girlfriend alone with the gangsters. Like, what the hell was the boy supposed to do? Fight against 5 people alone, and one of them even has a GUN?

Well... Empathy was never a strong suit for the MC, he's a trained killer you know

graphics looking so much better now with higher resolution 'renders' (screenshots? whatever the hell you call them considering hs studio is pre-rendered)... need to get some "college" girl pussy going though, i quite like them all~

Oh well... I use the word "renders" because it's easier to understand. But yeah, screenshots would be more accurate

The college girls have a reaaaaaaal slow burn going. I'm focusing more on the story aspect, so it's more rewarding once it finally happens. But the MC's starting to get intimate with the LIs. Especially Ashley. The next update is going to focus on Lila and her mother

Trying the prologue out and I'm a little confussed. I'm currently at Ash's house for the first time and she has a friendly chat with MC and drinks beer... But I'm pretty sure that I choose the corruption (blackmail) path for her at the beginning. Is that normal? Because it feels more like a romance path where you befriend the girls..

That scene can be seen both ways. If someone's in the love route, they can interpret it as trying to comfort and befriend to the LI. Or you can see it as someone faking it so they could find out something useful when the girl is vulnerable. Works both ways

It'll take a while for the paths to actually feel different, because of the context where the MC is inserted in. Him trying to be a good guy and change his ways or diving deeper into his alter-ego.

do I need to download Prologue - v0.6.9a first or does Chapter 1 - v0.7.1b also have the Prologue in it as well?

It's a standalone version. So it doesn't have the prologue. You can download only Chapter 1, however. But I'd advise for playing both versions.

Lesbian content is more about kisses or girl-on-girl action during threesomes+.
The tag is there to warn there's at least some girl-on-girl action, but MC's almost always involved, if that's your question

 

[Stil996]

What do you mean?

That was confusion because another poster (in a deleted post answering #600) had said something about the Ch1 being a remake/remaster with the prologue included (might have been trolling or confused about which game thread he was on).
Cirelc cleared it up though #611

The drug stuff with lila boyfriend.. that happens with her blackmail route (including telling her about the drugs in text messages) which has all been locked/blocked since like version 0.2 its literally impossible for the player to unlock Lila's text message scenes in 0.6.9a pretty much her whole blackmail route is locked

the event to trigger that route and unlock her text messages has been commented out a long time ago (script file just downloaded from 0.6.9a link in OP)

Oh, I didn't know you could see commented code with unren. That's good to know. I need to remind myself not to leave unfinished content in the game, people can still access it

The drug stuff happens if you choose to take only her to the office after the bathroom scene. And they'll break up later because you find evidence of Choki doing drugs in that way. You won't find the evidence however if you take them both to the office because they'll break up in a different manner.

That doesn't have anything to do with the texting, though... (The one that was reworked and blocked out)
I guess you're mixing it up with the really early versions, where you used that to blackmail her. And in the rework, you use that to break them up if you pick the blackmail route.
