Ren'Py God of Love and Loathing [v0.6] [Etherial Dreams]

[Forgotted]

Summerblossom is the only lover that I was planning on killing off, and her death was more due to not wanting to have questions about "If she survived the attack and had MC's kids, and they had kids, and so on and so on, how many people in the modern world are directly related to MC?" If it wasn't for that realization when I was writing the intro, her fate would have been left ambiguous. I was planning on making a short prequel game once this one was done that expands a bit on events that are brought up in this game as vingettes.

Ya chicken! lol
------------------------

Could also have extended their dream scene to include sex w her so they could 'finish' what they didn't get to....
Sort of thank you/closure for all her years of dedication....Then she could fade off. (filler material anyway...lol)


Enjoying it so far, you've done a really nice job. Graphics are
grainy but it's also a nice file size. Seems like a good number
of images/scenes which is very nice. Some, I know it's
a low light setting.., but might be a tiny bit too dark. Or at
least it comes through like that on my system. (I have a potato
for a computer..) Loved the looks of the characters. Love the
looks of the girls's bodies hope you don't change them any. Great
job! Maybe a save here warning b4 it goes back to main screen? Thx

Anywho, Thank you very much
Best of Luck
Cheers

The "End of Chapter X" notices were sort of intended to be the "Save here" points, I'll start adding a "End of update" notice when it's the end of the given chapter... wait, did I remember to put an "End of Chapter" screen at the end of the last update? Crap! ...no, no, I did, I'm not THAT forgetful.

As for the images being dark, that's probably on my end. They look fine to me, but a few people have commented on it. I don't know if it's just an issue with my monitor, or with my hardware setup in general, or maybe what looks fine to me doesn't to others.

Yes, I realize that NOW about the end of chapter points...but I'm pretty stupid...so I just thought... "Oh..end of chapter? Cool let's just clickety click to the next chapter..." lol
Honestly I just wasn't thinking how many chapters there were so kept clicking w/o thinking.

Keep up the good stuff!
Don't wear yourself out

So is the orgy scene still in game? Have scene's been made avoidable and not just skippable? If not i can just ignore this indefinitely.

You've posted in the thread twice, both times saying that you were just going to ignore the game. I don't mean to be a dick, but it sounds like what I'm working on just isn't your cup of tea. You don't need to post multiple times that you're going to ignore my game, you could just... ignore it and move on to the literal dozens-if-not-hundreds of active projects that suit what you want more.

Thanks. Now that I'm up to the vignettes, I'll probably go back and figure out how to put in a chapter select at the start, and hopefully by the time I wrap up this set of vignettes, figure out how to put in a gallery as well. I have a family vacation coming up in August, so one way or another I'll be taking a break then.

Sorry for coming back to your game (sarcasm) after i ignored it to see if any changes were made and the second post i made was just asking a question which you did not answer. So much for trying to give something a second chance.

P.S. I did say in my first post that your god plot was interesting was just concerned about content and your skip/avoid issue.

The only orgy scenes so far and the only ones I was planning on involving more than one man are in the intro that take place in the past, you're complaining about not being able to change the plot in a linear narrative, that being able to skip sex scenes that contain content you don't want to see isn't good enough, and have said you're going to ignore the game both times you posted in the thread prior to this post.

I'm sorry, but I get the very distinct impression that what you're wanting is not what I'm making, and I'm sorry it's not what you want, but at the end of the day, I can't please everyone and I'm ultimately working on this project for myself because I choose to. Thank you for checking it out, but almost every time you've posted, you've made a point to say that you're going to ignore it, so... yeah. Honestly not sure what to say to someone who repeatedly said they're going to ignore my project indefinitely. So long, have a pleasant life, hope you find projects better suited to what you're looking for?

Thanks for reply my question about orgy was because there is a screenshot in OP and don't know if females in it are li's or future li's . As for it happening in the past and you plan to to not add more should be placed in dev notes would of helped alot. Sorry if you thought i was attacking the game lol just sensitive to other dick's other than mc's. You seem like a cool dev so i will delete my old post and give your game a try.GL

So a bit earlier than past updates, Chapter 5 is mostly vignettes, so I'll hopefully be able to push out smaller, more frequent updates for the next little while. I am going on vacation in late August, so I'll be without computer access during that time, but I'll hopefully have at least another vignette done before then. And going forward, in theory the PC option should be both Windows and Linux compatible.

I will say this, the dialogue isn't bad, I actually kinda like it. Everyone speaks almost like a regular person would, so it's a lil endearing.
The over all story is not great for me. It could use a lot of work. Not that it's offensively bad but everything just kinda happens and snowballs up to the end where you're not told "This is the end of current content but you can rewatch the vignettes if you like." I appreciate this take on body positivity, sure. But none of the characters seem like people and none of whats happening makes me want to keep playing. I'm sorry I can't describe it better but at best it feels a little vapid. On top of it being short, it makes the lightning speed at which everything happens feel unimportant. And by the looks of it this feels like it will end up being some galaxy size harem that means you won't know or care about who's having sex on screen And there's only like three "LIs" atm. If I get that feeling now, I'm worried about the future.

The renders are very grainy and dark midway through chapter two so improve on lighting. The UI is all default so work on that. But really just work on the story, it's interesting. Maybe slow it down a bit? I don't know. I admit it's one of the better first impressions that have been made on me as of late.

This story needs a spell-check. There are some pretty basic errors: "tounge" -> tongue, etc.

 

[Crazyfist_]

so, i am either dumb, stupid or both... the first time you can choose vignettes you get two options. After you are done with em you just end up at the vignette selection again?

Edit:
After reading a little more in here, guess its the end of the current Version. =)
Hope this helps confused ppl.

Here's a spell-checked script. Some corrections are for spelling, while others are conversions from British English to American English. Might as well keep it harmonious, right?

Right-click the file, click "Save Link As," and then click "Save" in the Downloads window. Then put that file into the "game" folder. Overwrite when asked.

============
I like the game a lot. I wish Etherial much success.

Very good idea dear developer to have put <> when he speaks in his original language, it blocked the translation of VN Translator. As a result, your game has made it to the trash without even reaching the first part.

I'll try to work on the pacing. All of the main LIs have been introduced now, and there's only one real non-LI who hasn't been introduced yet.

This story needs a spell-check. There are some pretty basic errors: "tounge" -> tongue, etc.

That one's on me. I had switched text editors when I started working on the game and forgot that it didn't have spellcheck enabled. I do catch most of the spelling mistakes on a re-read, but some do slip through the cracks. I'll see if it does have a spellchecker in it, and if not then I guess I'll have to go back to my original text editor and then just Copy/Paste the text in.

Sorry, I did say in the patch notes that there were two vignettes, I should have clarified in-game as well. The actual finished section will have an option to continue the story once I've finished this "block" of vignettes.

Very good idea dear developer to have put <> when he speaks in his original language, it blocked the translation of VN Translator. As a result, your game has made it to the trash without even reaching the first part.

This is the first time I've ever heard of VN Translator and that the <> characters break it. Is there a different set of characters that would play nicely with it?

Only these characters block the translation. I think they made sure to block the translation with these characters because they are used in coding. Normally, with " " and ( ) it should work, for [ ] I am not sure (it would be necessary to try).
