VN Ren'Py Etlina's Principle [v0.02.1] [PipPoad]

[PipPoad]

Separate post for conciseness reasons.

PipPoad - What have you done?? This is honestly the first VN I've come across that has actually innovated in it's character design, plot, and setting that I felt genuine excitement during this recent update. This should honestly be promoted on the front page to help signal boost your game, because I'm anxious to see this project reach it's conclusion!
Seriously, job well done on this update!

Much obliged - had to go through a difficult path to come to this concept, glad you liked it. To tell the truth, I don't know how games get on the main page. But even without that, a lot of people noticed it, which I'm happy about.

Additionally, you're more than welcome to reach out to me in a DM if you need assistance with editing/proofreading. Your English is fairly good already, and I don't mind volunteering my time for the few instances of dialogue that contain minor errors.

Thank you, I will definitely contact you if I need help

This game is so good dev! Looking full of potentials.
I can imagine how it was hard to create such dark, tons of tentacular and skeletons images.

Thanks!
Immovable big tentacles are not so hard to pose, but small one like Ivi's is just a nightmare - it have too many bones. I was thinking to make them in ZBrush, where you can create them just in a few move of the hand. They will be static and without bones, but that's might be faster then jerking off for 5 minuts just for position change

colored character names

mc`s name will be still white,execpt the "thinking" part - the dev decided to use main_character instead of mc at the script
with this the main_character is bound to gui accent color

Yeah, I used main_character code for MC in 0.01 version, and then changed it to mc to make it more simple.
Colors are nice, but isn't the black stroke too bold at the character's names?

Creating many images of the girl 'Another' with numerous tentaculars and skeletons around it wasn't a big deal for you?

It was just time-consuming. There are lots of ready-to-use poses in Daz, some of them I used for skeletons with some tweaks. As for the enviorent - it's just an empty space with a lot of tentacles around, which are not so hard to pose tbh.
But surface was a big deal, because here it was necessary to combine a lot of assets and make it look natural. Custom locations are always the hardest part of production, along with character design.

my personal preference - its not at the file

 

[Boehser Onkel]

I never knew you could bind colors outside of the built in "character" function from Ren'Py. I was losing my mind when I tried to vary the colors of names (including the MC) because the dev decided to use a nearly identical color to the textbox.

standart renpy code
if not defined text and names bound to gui accent color

Ah, right!

 

[Singleminded]

This checks a concerning number of boxes for me.

The art is quite unique even among games in this site, looking at the black tentacles is this game inspired by the game prototype?
What type is this game be? The type that we can play with the Lis but need to choose one in the finally or we can have a harem and get all of them at the end?
In this update can we say that the Lis who had already appeared are the sis, ivi, kaley, jex and the another? Maybe the friend of mc who work in the lab will also count as one? Will there be more Lis in the future updates? What is the totally number of them?
I can see there is a pregnancy tag for this game, is it mean we can actually make the Lis pregnant though creampie or it only show up as there are monsters force women to give birth more monsters? I hope it is not the second one.
The nox are being sexism! Why can't we have a hybrid bro but all women around mc(Not that I really want to complaint with)!

F95 tags games based on kinks already implemented in the latest downloadable version. In my personal opinion, I think it's much better - and far easier - if Pip stuck with the latter option of only having infected women become pregnant for the sole purpose of producing more Nox. Pregnancy content in relation to LIs becomes a convoluted mess that takes an immense amount of time and forethought into properly implementing it.

Devs that do implement pregnancy usually fall into one of two categories: add the content in near the end and show the results in a slideshow, or force pregnancy to be true for anyone you're pursuing as an LI. Option 1 is quicker and easier to implement while option 2 will still require a significant amount of time and forethought.

Love it so far cant wait for more

Had to name my character Eddie out of respect

 

[prettystupid]

Great start, you've definitely got me interested. Despite the occasional grammatical issues, your writing was engaging and flowed well. Haven't seen a symbiote/slime game before - hope you focus on the corruption/mental aspects in addition to the physical transformations. Seems like we'll have the choice of going with the Nox or not, which I'm looking forward to. Good luck!

Really liked the update. The story so far is very intriguing and the renders are incredible - very unique. PC must sound like a jet engine when doing the renders haha.

Just played this for the first time, and boy, what a great way to hook people with the VN.

Story so far is great and different, a breath of fresh air: You can tell the dev knows their shit, cause there are soooo many 'scifi' and 'dystopian' VNs in this website that try to slap these genres' lingo everywhere they can in an attempt to sound immersive, but it ends up just sounding silly and amateurish. This dev gave me the feeling that they could publish their own novel based on this VN. Like some people pointed out, it might have some tiny grammatical mistakes, but the writing is serious and deep.

The renders are gorgeous, the music gives the scenes the right vibes. The people we have met so far are likeable, and the enemies? A proper nightmare, as they should be.

Congratz to the dev, can't wait for the next chapter.

Publishing a novel part seems a bit hyperbolic, but I agree with your post. You can tell that the dev probably isn't a native English speaker. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't really have prior writing experience, either. But this dev certainly has story-telling talent that sits well above the average.

I'm sure a lot of players will try this out expecting some latex tentacle fetish porn story, but they will be quite surprised by the writing. I always appreciate a sci-fi/fantasy story that takes itself seriously with grounded characters that manages to not be cringy.

 

[Fun Shaundi]

Publishing a novel part seems a bit hyperbolic(..)

I meant a book. Sadly, some devs here have VNs with beautiful renders, but writing isn't their forte. In the majority of cases (with some exceptions), published books tend to have better writing (in regards of prose) and better stories in general.

The quality of renders is what grabbed my attention, and I'm glad it did cause the writing surprised me. Hope more users will have the same experience when they play this one.

This has to have taken inspiration from Prototype, very similar concept, just without the lewd aspects
