Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[DA22]

Sorry Spectr3 . My fault entirely - not the guys. I get far too excited at showing off a lot of the development stuff, answering stuff and getting far too chatty etc.

I'll hush.

Actually those are all game related so no need to apologize according to me. Some Mods do seem to prefer very technical threads which works for some games that are coded badly or have an story that does not flow naturally.

For a game as this these do not work and would make a thread like this death and abandoned. Had this discussion before on the Love and Submission thread and unfortunately my prediction came true I saw when came back after a few months.

And no discord or any other messenger program is not a substitute for a thread like this.

To be fair, it does go off topic sometimes, let's not go black and white...

It's not Notty's fault when it does though.

The going off topic is part of this thread, why it is alive, joyful, inclusive, non-toxic and friendly as much as our appreciation of the game and the discussions about technical aspects, story lines, its origins of which ME is one even if some people overdo it and our love for games like that.

I've done one. At 754kb. Seven hundred and fifty four KB!

It's purely a test run of course but...I made this overnight. I would welcome your views on the video quality level (please ignore general posing for the mo as this was just a test run)

For a first test, that was amazing!

*laughs*

It's largely down to the assets. They fall into one of two camps.

New assets, where the maker assumes you have the same powerful rig as they have, and so add in all sorts of stuff which eats iterations; or old assets which were made for 3delight and so throw a fit when you convert them to IRAY and give you all sorts of wastage problems as the conversion does it's best.

Sarah's room is a case in point. An old 3delight asset that just would not render at all under two hours. For Three I had to take off the roof, any wall not in sight, use three point lights and it would still take an hour. Now? resurfaced? About 14 minutes with no additional lighting other than the room and with the room complete. Hell, I can even afford to leave the corridor in out of laziness.

Yeah, 3Delight assets don't work well in iRay at all, they are also a bitch to light.
I might have to do a lot of making new rooms.

But thanks. Useful to know it works consistently

getting a smooth loop can be a challenge, but you are well on your way.

No, those are entirely on topic, it's the ME stuff and whatnot I assume.

...though the origins factor and how other games relate to it, notwithstanding.

For a test run, it is quite good... 150 renders overnight + 1h editing, good work!
Nothing to report otherwise that the quality is really fine especially for a 754kb 1080p video, the test is successful imo.

Edit: With VLC, the last frame is black so running it into a loop... there is a little difficulty.

I would say that's a resounding success!

Oh there's music - and sound effects

But no, not made by myself *has limits?*

Yet... not made by yourself, yet! I have no doubt that you'll start with sound effects made by yourself soon enough, maybe not for H5, but soon.

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Oh!

I could animate the Intrepid moving across the scene like in Star Wars or Red Dwarf!

Red Dwarf is one of my favourites!

I know it may be hard for ye, but please keep discussions in this thread on the topic of Heavy Five. Warnings and threadbans otherwise.

Info: There's a cleaning process ongoing on this thread, so don't be shocked if your off-topic posts get deleted.

Well, while I can understand that we may sometimes go off-trail, I don't think it really wise to "censor" one of the few threads in this forum when everyone is mostly a jolly good fellow and we have funny banters about the game and the dev.

Is it really worse than all these "update when" and "dev's scam" thread?

Also, my compliment rap has been deleted, and that makes me sad

You gotta fight

For your right

To have a jolly ol' good timeeeeee

Why even bother censoring? Are we somehow a huge resource sink on f95?

I understand the "well this is getting a bit off topic"-reaction but is it really a problem?

Well my post about why it might be a problem was deleted, so better not go back to that.

What might be an option though that could work possibly and gives the mods also peace of mind and allowing us to freely discuss things is possibly moving our discussions to a community thread for this game linked in the OP for any who would wish to join and leave this thread just for updates, fixes, technical questions and such. We could even use a pm group for that, though big disadvantage to that would be easy access for newer players and you might miss out on the opinions of players who would disagree.

To address some of your concerns, this thread has been used effectively as a Discord for a long time and while this was never to our satisfaction, it was also not against any rules for the most part. That is until people go on long off-topic conversation and make us have to go through hundreds of pages and delete a record number of posts.

This is isn't about censorship, it's about keeping the thread tidy, within the rules and about the game it was made for.

Now I'll consider the matter closed and any further comments should be taken to PMs, because a game thread is not the place for conversations about rules.

I will have to respectfully agree to disagree, but if you wish to know the reasons you can pm me. Discord though is a very lousy option I would say.

 

[Jaun Karr]

Welcome to the Thread Jaun Would Hughe Massiveschlong work for you? Affraid that Huity claimed that lastname for Pepito though

Ta.
My site user name also fits with the previous examples I gave (again, speed and proper pronunciation for Karr; Jaun). I actually haven't used a joke name for the few playthrough's I've done, but have stuck with the same first name I use for al the VN's here; Tbone (as in the steak!)

Red Dwarf is one of my favourites!

Dwarfers in the house. But only if passed your pilots exam in Starbug 1, despite learning in Starbug 2.

I understand your reasons and admit we go off-trail quite often. Even though I don't like lack of freedom that comes with it, I respect your decision. This will thus be my last post on this subject.

That being said, I'll keep thinking it is kinda sad that a friendly and lively thread like this one be "monitored" :x

It is not nazi Germany, of course that gif was a tongue-in-cheek joke

 

[Goblin Baily: DILF]

incest patch ?

I don't think it's possible to make Amanda MC's landlady... I tried.... unfortunately that would create too many plotholes...

Maybe you could play it as Kelly adopted her as a mother after MC's father left her to fend for her own when MC went to join the military?

too many shitty cliche' in one sentence... that would be rejected by the script

Well it would explain why she has such an enormous chip on her shoulder, so would at least conform to story consistency.

 

[Huitieme]

I don't kno about you, but I seriously could use that save.... don't feel like beng mean to Sarah... but I'd love to read the SP

We could try to finally fill the H5 wiki created by our friend who is totally not Thea
Maybe add some of our fun theories there, as well as a way to read the SP or BP.

Well if you really want it you can always secretly DM me so Notty will not find out. To be honest though you can get there without breaking your own or Sarah's heart, she just dislikes you a bit lots.
