Ren'Py Abandoned Game of Life [v0.10.2] [Teron]

[Teron]

there should be a option to choose the mouse over the space bar

I must apologise to all left handed users, I claim the game can be played with one hand but really it only suits right handed users (Sounds a bit backwards but we must consider what the dominant hand may be up to!) I have added mouse and numpad support for skipping and answering response menus. I have also added RightCTRL as the same function as LeftCTRL (fast skip) to the next build.

Is it just me or is the scaling of the pictures at the start of the game where the characters are being introduced very inconsistent?
Some of the pictures appear as portrait vertical with no scaling but some appear like they have been scaled to 4:3 when they originally were a normal vertical portraits. So they look squished. Their face has the appearance of odd proportions.

I am running at 1920x1080 resolution on full screen.
I have to second the notion of scalable text option in menu. If this is the recommended resolution, the text is too small on my screen.

I'll be updating the intro images at some point, they were the first bunch of images added (with the exception of Cory, her image was changed last week to what it is now) so they certainly need improved now that I'm more comfortable with the engine and whatnot.

The text size should be pretty big at 1920x1080 - I've attached a thumbnail of what my game looks like on that resolution. Can you let me know if your text is similar?

I like this kind of game when you can be either male or female and choose your own orientation.
I will wait for all the bugs to resolve.

Problem so far,
1 Dont know how to save the games.
2 All the images when events occured doest show.


Cant wait to play the fixed version.

Thank you

If you press escape or click the menu button at the bottom left corner you will get a menu that will allow you to save your game. Just click on save and savegame, note that saves at the moment will restore you to the start of a conversation area rather than exactly where you were - work in progress on that!

Regarding events not showing, that's something I'm looking into. There should always be an image showing, whether it is just a simple room/location or characters so if the screen is blank, something has gone wrong somewhere. My suspicion is that when skipping (via CTRL or hitting space quickly) some script calls aren't happening fast enough.

Thank you all for your feedback, I hope to get these issues fixed today and hopefully present you with a stable-er release. These first few releases should uncover most if not all of the technical issues with the game, once they are fixed the framework for adding more content is all there so once I get over these technical hurdles, content shall flow.

Cheers

a game with cory and molly

im done

Yeah, I noticed the Details menu wasn't persisting when loading saved games. I've just fixed that I reckon.
Did you notice the menu disappearing in other scenarios or was it just when loading a game?



I'm able to replicate the player name bug, seems to happen occasionally unfortunately. I'm working on figuring out why that's happening.
Regarding <broken> links, clicking them will lead nowhere in the dialogue system - you can save your game and reload if you click any accidentally. (which should pop you back to the entry point for that area)
I'll have most of those gone in the next release.



Wrong Game of Life my friend! You won't find any cellular automation here.

just in generald after talking to some one or doing something

I think the premise of the story is good and makes it worth persevering with.

I would prefer mouse operation, but thats not a biggie.

I haven't got beyond the second day yet, but I also lose the picture/visual when there is an "event", like sister visiting the kitchen in a negligee or watching porn on laptop.

Thanks, hopefully once all the technical glitches are ironed out the story can start to take shape.

The images issue is a concern as I haven't had this issue when testing with the exception of getting the bus for the first time occasionally disabling all images except for the villa images, which I think I might have fixed but need to keep testing, seemingly happening at random.
Other images disappearing is new to me but this thread has highlighted that I am the minority for that issue unfortunately. I will continue my investigation, hopefully I can replicate the issue somehow.

Version 0.1 - bugfixes
I've uploaded a new version, all three links updated. Change log has been updated as well.
This version has mouse click support (on the text window), numpad support and right CTRL fast skip along with some other bug fixes that have been highlighted in this thread. Thank you everyone who has taken some time to test the game so far and raised these issues.

Edit: But of course as soon as the links are updated I spot an issue! Cleaning the bathroom for Cory will leave her image on screen and you can't get rid of it. Not a terrible sight but does impact the rest of the game. Fixing just now and updating the links.

Having the same issues with black screens at every sex scene, guess those are gifs, since all the the other pictures can be seen, doesnt work with reloading either and I have tried both female and male. Resolution is 1920x1080.

 

[tarzanello22]

She certainly is. It may not come as a big surprise but she plays the role of the main characters mother. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Fantastic, I love her!!!!

sadly, stuck at black screen after the family intro....:'(

 

[Teron]

I've downloaded the game onto a different machine and I am now able to replicate the issues regarding the intro and the gifs. I'll have these fixed shortly - a quick work around for the intro is just to keep skipping ahead when you are asked to choose a gender, this will close the dialogue box and then you can select a gender and choose your name without issue.

The gifs won't appear, it seems the Unity build has squashed them into unusable files, I'll be moving them to a different location and updating the paths to each of them. This doesn't happen for me on the build machine because the location of the original files is still present so the game just pulls from there, that obviously isn't the case for anyone else.

Bit of work to fix over the next hour or so but it's a weight off my shoulders knowing why everyone is having these issues. Fix forthcoming.

Why are you using Unity and not Renpy?

 

[Lednacek]

not bad but needs more content and fixing all the bugs.

 

[Nightcloak]

I'm with the multiple people who every time the game starts up I just get a black screen after choosing gender and name. It has happened every time i've tried to start the game

I prefer Unity.

To clarify though, I am more comfortable using Unity for development. I thoroughly enjoy well made Ren'Py games.

I am currently uploading a fixed version now that I've found the cause of the issue.
I'm also uploading the GIFs... not sure what I was drinking last night when I uploaded this and forgot to add them.

The bug after cleaning the living room hasn't been fixed yet.
The story is not bad, but there still is a lot to be fixed.
Saturday evening nothing happens (with Lexi)

Good luck!

Thanks for pointing out the living room bug, that's fixed in the latest build (not uploaded yet). I wasn't actually aware of that one.
Lexi doesn't have any content outside of her two conversations, just laying the groundwork for the MC heading off to some college parties to get funky.

Cheers!

Are there no img? i mean got no img of my sister in underwear and in the bathroom is just because it's an alpha or what?

The game version without the GIFs will have a few images but all of the sexy content will be GIFs so you'd need to download them and extract to your GameOfLife-Alpha_Data folder. Details in the OP / Install instructions.

Thanks for the fixes. The text size is now as you show in the screen-capture (large and readable). Before it was tiny.

There's something to be said in working in what you're comfortable with, but there's also things to be said in using the right tool for the right job. If you're on the fringe of Unity rather than an expert then use Unity because the development will serve as a good learning process for you. If you just want a project off the ground and functioning then you're early enough on to swithc to Ren'Py

On the first release with space you have a scenario for the clinic and photostudio. On your update nothing i can't make photo and only undress at the clinic with a woman. For the lab the are nothing.
