VN Ren'Py Abandoned Girlfriend Tapes [v0.9] [BootyProfessor]

[kurosx]

Hey guys any gamedev in here? I've got a question, since I am starting my own gamedev journey not too long ago I've been meddling with the gamefiles and was wondering where I could find files that are mentioned in the script.rpy ? Because they are not in /images/. Is this some kind of technique to encrypt your files ? Where are the o2_happy etc.

They are, but you missed a step. These variables are declared in characters.rpy:



When you are looking for a specific expression in the script, the easiest way to do so is searching for it in all files in Notepad++:

Alright, cheers dude, and how do you actually make an .rpa file to protect your assets like he did? Is it when compiling and exporting for play through renpy app? How was this made?

Also the char.rpy file seems incredibly busy, isn't there a simpler way of defining these sprites? Will I have to do this if I want to make a similar game? Define every single image and then display it through scripts.rpy?

Like for example can't I just layer a char like a cut out with different expressions and assets instead of relinking a completly new image? I've seen Hero Party Must fall scripting and it was layering a base with different expressions and mouth images, is this a better way of doing ?

 

[kurosx]

Sorry, that I can't answer, I am not a developer. I only examine the scripts to see what choices cause or trigger what variables, when I am playing a game. So I may unren the rpa's, if necessary, and look for what is of interest for me in that moment.

Maybe the Ren'Py-documentation can help you with your questions:

Go to the file "options.rpy" scroll down in the 188-189 uncoment both lines that way you can "encrypt" your files.
the encryption only occurs when you make the distro (compiling).
He did the same:

You can do it, at the end of the day renpy it's just python
if I remember correctly

Good writing with some curveballs. Enjoyable.
v0.9

Good:
- Writing is good. Not a complete cliche.

- Some very nice - unorthodox for the genre - dynamic between MC and the secondary FMC (his childhood friend). Their relationship is actually the main intrigue of the story.

- MC is not just a prop too. Which is unusual for the genre - and a big plus. There's intrigue in what he will choose and what he will become by the end of it.

Bad:
- The Girlfriend, on the other hand, was a disappointment. It's not like she's malicious - thanks for that at least. But she just cheats because she wants to. And she just lies in every scene - because she wants to cheat. Disappointing. I couldn't wait for them to break up - and that should never be the case.
And she had all the ingredients for a good dynamic between her and the antagonist - between seduction and her resistance - between her lust and her striving for a real loving family.
The dynamic could be insane - because of *spoilers*.
But she just cheats.
...Ok.

- Also, writing is 'good', but not 'great'. There are some problems with pacing. In some scenes, it's not really 'pleasant' to be around some of the characters - which makes the scene a slug to go through.
Some other scenes just plainly lack tension.
Overall: micro-writing needs more work, while macro is better than average.

Neutral:
- The antagonist is not bad. He can dirty talk during sex scenes - and even drop teasing innuendos out of it, which was nice.
But he's not really a character. Just a prop for a big cock.
He's also not really menacing..? The only reason I pick up when he tries to be menacing is cos MC thinks about it. "Oh, his eyes are so threatening." What, he wiggles his eyebrows at MC or something?
He's a big dumb brick-face - but he's not bad.

- I also wouldn't rate the art - judge it by yourself from the screenshots. Different people view different art differently. Apparently.

//That's my review. Copied here cos of how reviews work on this site. ...And for discussion.

Please let this game die, my heart aches everytime I see this thread get lively again

 

[kurosx]

It is already dead, but it forgot to fall down.

 

[Cormocosco]

¿Alguien me puede explicar por qué este juego está abandonado? ¿Qué le pasó?

Honestly, I know the dev probably has other things to do, personal problems that are more important than a game, but I'm still a bit mad he gave up so close to the end. There was so little left to do, for such a good game, it's upsetting. I could have waited for years just to see the end. He could have delegated the end of the game to someone else with a few pointers, he already did many artworks he never put in the game.
Ugh. Such a shame.

I feel like the story is pretty much finished anyway. Although the game says "wait for update" most of the routes basically have closure with the MC going off to Uni and the routes that end up differently have a kind of cliffhanger style ending.

man i really wanted to see the aftermath of your decisions.

Well, there's always the final ending:
>> They were all run over by a truck and died. The End. <<

 

[terratest]

I just saw this on steam with a release of Nov 25. Is it being finished?

Huh, you're right. Is it possible to check whether the Steam page is newly created? I'm now wondering if the page was always there and everyone just missed it. Also, if it's actually legit, I hope it's BP himself who made it, instead of someone trying to hijack his identity and publish the unfinished game or something.

Looks like it's all rather recent:

So either someone is trying to do a little identity theft and scam people or we're getting some great news soon.

There is zero new content in the trailer or in the screenshots. Best guess is that BootyProfessor is simply going to re-release 0.9 on Steam.

Getting hyped up for the biggest return since Undertaker was Buried Alive by Kane.
