I really appreciate your kind words. I did just manage to get a couple of hours of sleep, finally. It's generally very stressful to deliver an update when I've delayed it so many times.
Future BJs will be animated. I agree that the cum on Sandra doesn't look good; it was a simple premade prop/accessory. I'm currently exploring real-time fluids and hope to have that ready in Episode 2 so we can have running sperm in animations.
You're right. Apparently, at that time, I set the camera to focus on her genitalia. I don't know why. Here is what it would look like if made today, with slightly better sand textures (the old one was upscaled about five times, and you can actually see insanely big footsteps in the sand) and collision with dForce breasts on all characters.
Saving is located in Play, then the Save is next to Load. It is replaced by the "New" in the main menu. Can you please confirm that you can see it?
You're right. I struggled to find a decent solution in Renpy because it is limited in which video formats are supported, especially those with audio. I had to compress it to make it work. I'm currently looking for a better solution to have higher quality video with separate audio.
Thanks again, mate. It means a lot. I appreciate your constructive feedback. This is exactly what I need to make the game better—honest suggestions on how to improve things, rather than just comments like "I hate it" or "It sucks."
Overall, I must be honest and say that the game needs more polish, and that's what I'm working on now. I'm adding more ambient and general SFX, fixing grammar mistakes, and so on.
I'm also going to make some changes to how gallery images are collected. For example, clicking on a certain object in a specific render, instead of mostly unlocking everything just by progressing through the story.
An official Android port is coming in the next two weeks or so, along with an officially English proofread version, and three or more languages.
I'm glad you managed to get a couple hours of sleep
gotta let that battery (brain) charge, don't self-drain your energy. I think you should only mention a date when you're 100% positive it will be out on that date. You could also not give a specific date and just keep us updated on the progression. As it nears the finish line, then you should have an idea of what to say when you need to say it.
It's your first game release so, try not to stress yourself out. Keep calm and carry on, to the next task and so forth. Taking breaks when you need it. To eat, Use Bathroom, etc. I'm here for you if you need someone to chat with, to rant to or bounce some things off me.
Ah, I guess it's fine if the Stall BJs don't have any animations. it looked uncomfortable lol and I have no idea how the MC's cock slipped into the hole so perfectly lol. But yaaas, give me that running sperm xP I actually had no idea there wasn't even "Animated" tag lmao! and no Anal tag? noooo! I needs this lol
Hmm, you had pussy on the brain xD so, you focused on that instead of the boobs. I wish you could just replace that image with the new one but then things wouldn't match. You can see that the Stall/Porta Potty leaves a shadow on the sand. In the new one, that shadow is gone. I definitely notice the better sand textures. I have no clue what dForce breasts are, but I do like how she's holding her breasts in the new one.
Ah, I can see the "save" now. I had no clue I had to press on "Play" to see it. It feels kinda weird clicking on "Play" when you are already in the game. Why not just name it "Bookmark" or something else? so people (like me) don't get confused lol
Oh, so that's why. Man, you upscaled stuff, compressed things, I am sorry you were dealing with chaos behind the scenes... and then you come online and deal with people who don't even know and are quick to doubt you. I had no idea either so, I guess I should have. I'm sorry you are dealing with these things :/ but glad to see that you're a fighter and not a quitter.
You just have to find the video format most Devs use. That way, you aren't compressing it so much and it can play smoothly. I just don't know who'd you go about asking. I think maybe not even another Dev, just someone more knowledgeable in this area.
You're welcome
and no problem. I am just happy that I got to reply to you to let you know, it's okay. You will have impatient fans foaming at the mouth for a new update or etc. You gotta ignore the impatient ones who don't understand what you're dealing with and going through. You have to look past those and focus on the ones that really matter. I wish I was techier to help you out in more ways than just this way.
If I can help make the game even better, I am all for it. I am sorry if most people don't give you many or any suggestions and only complain and talk shit. Just don't forget me, I'll be here for you. Need to vent? etc, you know where to find me.
Yeah, I agree. It needs a good, sweet polish. I am sure it'll look even more amazing once you are done doing that. Are the voices tied to the Sound effects/music or so? I thought it would be tied to "Voice" but probably not because I think I had to lower the sound effects to get rid of the moans. The grammar has been very good
Oh, so like a "special render" hunt? a "Point & Click" section? eh, I don't care much for those renders. I usually click on them if I see it in the scene but barely bother looking for them or at them since I am more focused on the actual story related renders.
I also don't think you can get every render by progressing through the story (well, once anyways) since there will be different paths, right? If not, then I guess certain renders will be tied to the choices instead of different endings. I don't mind what you have planned. I'll collect the renders no problem.
