VN Ren'Py Elmwood University [Ep. 1 Slim] [WickedWare]

[tmu500]

Well, it's only an option, so you are not forced to select it. There are several trees with multiple perks on them that can be chosen that should satisfy any romance fans.

My fear is that this game is getting so complex, with so many options, that releases will take forever to produce and the multiple paths will mean that each playthrough will be short.

good answer. According the branches there are a lot of way to play the game. I like multiple ending (2 to 3 max), but not too much.

The blonde president of the girl/feminist group, who has hidden stats as one of her skills, is super elegant and ideal for the romance path .

 

[S1nsational]

The only girl so far who I don't like is the Vampire bitch, don't get me wrong, she's hot. But the other girls are just as hot or hotter with far better personalities

Perk Preview: 3 New extension perks

As in the picture above, there are three new perks that connect the final perks of two different trees together. These perks - MILF Domination, Potent Cum & Cum Addiction will cost zero skillpoints but will only be unlockable after completing the respective trees.
MILF Domination connects the Dominance and MILF trees - I've already spoken about this but this will essentially just apply all the dominance perks to MILFs as well (but note that Corruption will only work on a few select characters, milfs or not)
Potent Cum connects the Creampie and MILF trees. Potent Cum makes your creampies more likely to result in pregnancy. If breeding is not a kink then I'd recommend just not unlocking this at all, but the perk will do the following:

• Increases pregnancy chances will all side characters
• Unlocks pregnancy will women aged 40-50 (who are otherwise considered infertile without this perk) (You'll notice one main character is 40, there will be a couple of side character also in this range)

Cum Addiction connects the Facials & Swallowing trees. This free extension perk does the following: "Girls who have already given you oral are affected by Cum Addiction. Affected girls ignore any requirements or loyalties for blowjob scenes." Essentially meaning that any girl who has already given you a bj will never refuse in future - ignoring Love and Lust requirements and ignoring anything else - e.g. if they're a side character with a boyfriend.

Some more words on breeding/pregnancy in the game:
The main, very large restraint I have around pregnancy from a logistical standpoint is that a main character cannot get pregnant very early on in the game because then after ~4 months (in Elmwood time) then every single frame and animation of that character would need two frames - an image where they're pregnant and an image where they're not. Then consider if there was an image of Chelsea and Lydia together and you had the option to knock up both 5 months ago in Elmwood time, then that single frame would actually need a frame of them both not pregnant, a frame of both pregnant, a frame of Chelsea pregnant and a frame of Lydia pregnant, so 4 instead of 1. And when there are three or more girls on screen the issue gets even bigger ofc. So logistically it's just not really possible for a main character to have pregnancy options super early in a visual novel and I'm sure you've noticed this in other games where pregnancy usually happens near the end.
So given this big logistical issue, what can I still do? Well firstly, as women don't show pregnancy in the first couple of months, this essentially gives us total freedom for the final chapters of the game. Elmwood is going to be split into three university terms and so in this final third of the game we won't have any of the limitations with main characters and so this is where most of the pregnancy options for MAIN characters will be. And if we have 21 episodes as I've currently planned then this will be referring to those final 7 episodes.
Side characters are a wonderful exception to this issue however. Because for any given side character we won't see them nearly as much, it's very feasible for me to make a pregnancy and non pregnancy frame of each. So for side characters there will be pregnancy options from as early as probably Ep 4. And for these characters if you do get them pregnant then later in the game if you see them again you will see them visibly pregnant.
So as a TLDR: Main characters will have pregnancy options in the final 33% of the game, side characters will have pregnancy options throughout.

Developer Update #12

1) General & Animations
Hi all, sorry for this being later than usual, work is going well but I still have so much to do. Animations are pretty much done and are looking good. And about the animations I've learnt a lot as I've been doing them - I wouldn't say they're a massive improvement on the animations in E1 but I think my skills are improving in a way where hopefully each episode will have slightly more detailed animations than the last. These last few weeks alone I've discovered so many great tools and tricks that are going to help me a lot in E3 and onwards and I really like doing my own animations rather than using premade ones for a couple of reasons:
Firstly I really value uniqueness in Elmwood and especially with things like how every girl has their unique sex position and corresponding animation for that. I think you'd start to notice if every girl had her legs in the exact same positions and same expresssions and I don't like the idea of that. The other reason is more logistical and it's just the fact that our protagonist is very tall (6'2) and most of the girls are much shorter (Molly is the shortest at 5'2). So the thing about premade animations is that they require the actors to be of the same or similar proportions to the actors they used to create the animation - usually a couple of fairly similar heights. Premade animations could definitely work for positions where height doesn't matter like cowgirl or just on the taller Elmwood girls like Ella (5'10). But then with Ella she is renowned for her flexibility and gymnastics skills so I want her to have animations that showcase her flexibility because it's hot, it's unique and it's her. Not really sure why I'm ranting so much about animations but just wanted to give some insight into why I value doing them myself because some people have given me suggestions (very good suggestions) to use premade animations because they're quick and high quality. And they are... but they're not unique. So my goal is to do my own animations and improve my own skills so that they just get better and quicker to make while retaining their uniqueness.

2) Post E2 Survey
Less about animations and more about sex in general but in the post E2 survey there will be a very big focus on sex specific preferences. I'm going to include a lot of questions about things like whether you prefer the faster or slower animations, the POV or side view ones, how important the foreplay or post sex animations (like animated creampies) are and things like that. I might also have questions regarding things like who has your favourite vagina... Sounds weird but Elmwood will inevitably share my preferential biases on things and so I want to know your preferences too. For example I prefer girls shaved but I know lots of people like some bush. So I need some data on things like this and this will help determine things like how many side characters shave their pubic hair, how many have innie/outie vaginas, breast sizes etc etc. As I've mentioned in other posts this survey will be optional in every question - meaning you only have to answer the ones you want to weigh in on. I'm also going to have some questions on things you haven't seen in the game yet... like threesomes, anal etc.

3) Posts from this week & next
This week we had some insight into the 6 new perks coming in E2. As this is what you voted for in the poll I hope that it's what you were looking for but if anything is unclear about those please know you can always comment any questions and I'll answer. Further to this if there are any perks in particular that you want to hear about you can comment on any post including this with what you want to hear about. Next week I might show you the cool visual effect & a example of the perk Eclipse or I might talk about the Academic perk tree. Let me know if you have a preference or Ill just choose one of those or a different random perk to discuss.
Also this week I showed a preview of Lydia in E2, obviously she's not a new character but for the sake of variety I thought it would be nice to see her again. Most of your time in E2 will of course be with the new characters but I also have a gorgeous render of Ella that I'll likely show you next week and then back to the new E2 characters until I finish E2 (which will hopefully still be this month but it will be extremely tight with everything I'm trying to put in).
Also in the perk preview on the 3 extension perks I went on a bit of an essay about how pregnancy options will work in the game, please check that out if you are interested because it's something people ask about semi regularly.
Hope you all have a good week ahead,
WW

Yes he does. But I've been told that he never shows up there.

[flaviopaganini]

does dev have a discord

The Discord is not very active, but that's because only one episode has been released so far. Perhaps the activity will pick up once the second episode is launched.

It's mainly for asking questions and reporting errors, and for making announcements about new features.

These are the channels we have.

this avn is still in its early stages IMO, it had a good 1st release if the dev keeps it up he'll do fine and the discord will become more populated as well

E2 Sneak Peak - Ella

Perk Preview - Eclipse

Turns out I did not fix the link yesterday but I have now so I'm resposting this (and as a non VIP post). The linked video shows an example of the visual effect when using the special kiss, Eclipse.
Eclipse is a perk at the bottom of the dark supernatural tree that turns day into night and instantly applies any night time bonuses you have. As you have to unlock Nocturnal and Blind Lust before this, this means that using Eclipse instantly grants girls +1 Lust from Nocturnal and causes them to ignore Love requirements (from Blind Lust). So this can be especially useful in situations where girls have a strong attraction to you but lack sufficient love.
Also - obviously the video is just a demonstration and isn't meant to make sense - I know it's already night time in the scene and it's in E1 where you cannot unlock the perk yet but just wanted to show what it looks like

Developer Update #13

Hi all, hope you've had a good week. Short post because I'm really busy trying to finish E2. We're midway through June now and I'm sure you're all very keen to get back into the game. After E1's survey I said I would finish E2 in June and I'm working my ass off to try and stick to that but it's looking really tight and I am struggling. I'm working flat out to finish it but I can't give a date at this time. Still aiming to finish it in these next two weeks but I can't guarantee it. If it's not finished this month, I'll accept any and all refund requests for this month with no questions asked.

But I think you'll really like it when it's done - it's looking great and you'll be able to spend a good amount of time with all of the new characters (although less with the professors) as well as a couple of girls from E1 with three sex scenes and a few other hot encounters. You'll also see a ton of new cool environments that I now won't have to spend time making in future episodes.

Here's a pic with Naomi in the social sciences cafeteria. Will continue posting sneak peaks and perk previews until I release E2. Thank you all for your continued patience. Your support means the world to me and it's the reason I'm working so hard rn. Hope you have a good week

flaviopaganini thank you for the news updates .
Please report the looping bug for us. If you insulted the lesbian couple, you would get a slap, and you could insult them back if you didn't answer what the game forced you to answer, thus lowering their relationship score to -20 or below .

Basically, on this screen, I keep saying 'No' infinitely, and she keeps slapping me in the face.



And with each slap in the face, she decreases Love infinitely. Could this be the problem?
