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

[I'm Not Thea Lundgren!]

Does sex happen in this game or does MC always get shot down?

It will happen yes, but this is a realistic game, you just met these people; it's not going to happen straight away.

ok just wanted to know if this was one of those teasing fetish games i've run into before

 

[Djoki996]

Should add 'Female Protagonist'.

 

[Akamari]

That's ok, but then it's at least poor planning.

On the contrary, it's actually good planning because it will pay off in the long run.

Of course nobody is perfect, especially with the first project, but if it was me I'd introduce one or more new functions with a story update instead of just borings stuff and on top of that reworking the whole game. I'm not sure what the roadmap says about the coming months, but since it's only chapter 1 the others should get a makeover as well, right? Then it's more of nothing new for the next "updates".

There is some new content (plus all the renders look massively better, plus animations) in all of the remastered Chapters. This one and two more upcoming. If that is not good enough for you, you're welcome to come back when Chapter Four is released, or later. Up to you.

In the end it's just my opinion and I don't support this project (that's one of the reasons why btw - no updates on a consistent schedule and sudden "I need to start over again" urges).

That's your choice, of course. It won't change anything however. Perhaps it will be more up to your liking in the future.

Yep, the dev should be back here in a day or two and will update the OP and the tags.

Eh....
I wouldn't say realistic in a sci-fi setting. It defintely has moments that stretch the bounds of realism, like atmospheric re-entry with the landing gear still out. Technically that would cause so much added heat stress that the spacecraft would disentigrate upon entry. There's other problems that come up in future chapters as well.

But if you want to argue that the realism is with relationship building then maybe. There's some people who are less inhibited when it comes to sex than others and i'm sure that will be explored in later chapters.

What? Landing gear should be up (retracted). You can see it animated even after the launch. Deployed landing gear would do what you describe.

It's not up when you re-enter though that's part of the added drama and why you're offered the choice to go out there and fix it before you re-enter.
I see what you're saying poor word choice, i should have said out.

That's an airbrake that's open that you are offered to go and close, not the landing gear.

Oh! You mean the air brake!

Well, that's why the stripping happens. Because the heat shield is compromised due to the air brake being extended the temperature goes up. At that point it's up to the pilot to fly the craft and keep it steady in such an angle of attack that wouldn't cause it to go past the critical values.

 

[Akamari]

ZTex Also, this is indeed a sci-fi, so just like there are faster than light propulsion systems, so it can be assumed the heat protection is improved compared what current spacecraft have.

I mean i did say it's sci-fi so realism isn't something we should attribute to it as a whole.
FTL travel is something that's thus far in the realms of fiction.

There's also the issue with the base on the surface of that planet ? Sattilite ? I don't exactly recall what it is.
But the Sci-Fi is where i don't mind it stretching credulity. If i did, i wouldn't be a sci-fi fan.

The realism i believe that was trying to be said was strictly about relationships.

Yes indeed, in a normal working environment (outside adult entertainment) people don't start fucking like rabbits the moment they first meet.

Though i'd argue they should
It would really solve a lot of the inter-office politics and tone down a bunch of conflicts.

Hmm. Not sure what you might be hinting at, but there's also not a lot of options in terms of assets, so compromises have to be made. Trying to make a DAZ game outside of the usual generic modern setting can be quite a challenge in that aspect.

Still, I think Notty pays so much attention to the science details that you shouldn't find anything that would be a complete bullshit. And if you do, just ask her, and I'm pretty sure she'll give you a satisfying answer. I have never caught her in her negligee as one saying in my country goes.

Again, i'm not saying anything is completely bullshit, but that there are elements that strech the bounds of what is realistic. Also yes the game assets only allow for so much and i as the reader/player have to accept that.

I don't think Notty has done anything worth being in arms over either, i enjoy the game and like the world(s).

Oh, I wasn't accusing you or anything, just saying in case you find something like that. All good.

I would agree if this was a second project of an established dev like with lots of backers, but I'm not sure if it's a wise idea to shake the foundation if you don't have the quantity.

That's your choice, of course. It won't change anything however. Perhaps it will be more up to your liking in the future.

I know it won't and I never thought it would or wanted it to, I'm not the main target audience here. All in all it's just my 2 cents from someone on the outside with neutral-sceptic stance on this whole remastering business that a lot of people tend to get into these days for no real reason.

I'm with you on the countless pointless remasters, but after following the developpment and community for a few month, I assure you this is not one of those.
You can clearly feel the passion of Notty unlike all those cashgrab devs and I have trust in her vision that the remaster will not just be a HD texture pack like most of the other remaster, we already know that chapter 2 will get back the 1/3 of content that had to be axed in the original because of hardware limitations.

I think your basis is flawed, it clearly state in the PDA that Ophion's atmosphere is thinner and lower in oxygen so you can't compare it to an Earth atmosphere re-entry, I know seaching for scientific realism in a sci-fi setting is a moot point but in that particular case I think it holds up
