Ren'Py Escaping the Goblins [v0.6] [dj03man]

[alsert]

Where I am struggling is in the actual combat game... currently only available for Lea's, but the goal is to have it triggered for all (Valya in the castle and Anneli in the bar). My concept is a game that re-uses the animations and gives the player power to chose which, but I haven't found a decent way to implement it without being too "rapy"... that's the reason why the minigame is untouched since v0.2. Lots of players liked the idea of having a lewd "combat" minigame, but they complain that the implementation is shit (and I agree) and that creates some division. I don't know if I should create a new concept or clean&consolidate the current concept, like "clean the shit". Community feedback hasn't been clear on this also.

If I understand correctly, the goblins have occupied the city and their goal is to gain complete power and/or turn all the elves into obedient sex slaves. The elves' goal is to gain information about the queen, the overall situation, etc., in order to liberate the city. To avoid attracting attention, they must compromise and satisfy the goblins' needs, because if suspicion rises, that's the end in every sense. Based on the above, the current sexually-based combat seems more logical than others. It just needs to be refined and made more balanced and logical, as well as adding the ability for goblins to seduce women.
BUT! This is just my opinion, and since the community hasn't reached a consensus, do it however you want—it's your game. It's impossible to please everyone!

So, I searched for months to find someone interested in selling at a decent price. I drove 6 hours and spent a full day out of the house in snowy conditions to get it, but so far it was worth it

This is all great for the game, of course, but the main thing is not to push yourself and not get sick!

There are no proper local LLMs for code assistance yet,

I guess it might be because the training on renpy code has been minimum. I use a variant of 70b Llama and it works quite well on Java and c# code. Of course, on my GPU I get 1token/s so I just let it run in the background

I rented between 4090 and 5090 on Runpod until last week, then last week I bought a second hand pc with those specs, supporters helped a lot <3
With the DRAM prices going up, a lot of gamers decided to sell their high end computers since 5090 plus anything higher than 32GB is kind of overkill for any games out there. So, I searched for months to find someone interested in selling at a decent price. I drove 6 hours and spent a full day out of the house in snowy conditions to get it, but so far it was worth it as it's faster to run it locally than on cloud, everything from test, trial and error, etc... This is one of the reasons why Escaping the Goblins development was slow, it took me a few days to have the full system running (installing new disks, ubuntu from scratch, separating data disks from OS disks, nvde for speed, swaps, moving ~1TB of data from content, workflows, models and loras, setting up the 50 nvidia series is harder to setup than the 30-40).
Then I just tested some generations in HD to see it all working well and after that I haven't spend actually time generating anything new with it yet (only tested LTX-2 for lip sync and SFW body animations for some game scenes), this week I've been focusing on adding already generated content to the game whenever I have time.

Holy shit. I didn't even know those kinds of specs were possible on a consumer level. That's jaw dropping.

You can find Threadripper + rtx5090 + 256GB ddr4 EC in the second hand market for around ~4.5k, which is already a professional system that runs anything open source nowadays, including LLMs.

Guess the seller was looking quite surprised to find out his old PC is now used to make grade-A Gobbo porn.

Launched it expecting yet another AI crap, yet this game is really nice. Some scenes needs a bit of polishing, but overally great work!

 

[Boombaru23]

Pretty good,my dick and I will await further updates.

You have my respect for spending so much on hardware and power just to train AI on what a perfect looking ass should look like.

Idk if we're heading for a Skynet situation, but I'll enjoy the apocalypse way more if terminators are looking like those models of yours.

I didn't spend that much as that is not my new setup, it was an example.
Until last year you either could generate "low level" AI on consumer hardware for 30 minutes 1 video OR run it on the cloud on high end systems.
I'm pretty sure you know someone with 3-4k computers to play video games.
The example I shared was a machine that virtually runs everything AI (and costs 10k new) and you can find it in the second hand market at those 3-4k prices.

The goal is not only asses and bouncing boobs , I also work with AI (LLMs and vision models) professionaly. For hobbies, costs and frustrations from cloud were already pilling up for some time and locally was impossivle as my old (still active) setup is 13 years old. I bet that 99% of the community here with PC has a better setup than my dev potato.
So, it was time to upgrade my PC for personal, professional and "hobby" use.

great visual just wish there wasn't so much rng and there was a bit more story.

Working on that.

Looks great, good luck to the dev! Can't wait to see more content for the girls.
