Progress Update - Gallery - Re-Coding

Small update.
The re-coding progress is going better than expected. But maybe that's because the first episodes are very easy without the many routes and possibilities that are to come in the later episodes.
I cleaned up lots of code. Relabeled the scenes for the gallery. Removed unnecessary lines and added new statements that make everything easier to navigate.
The code for episode 1 had more of an overhaul since it will get new renders too. There are a few new script lines and others were removed.
I changed the choice between Layla and Erynn after the club scene. Whatever you choose there, you can still be on the other girl's route if you want to do so. All in all, Layla's point thresholds have been reduced and it's a little easier now to stay on her route. That also opens up the possibility to have more girls in 1 playthrough.
Another big change is that Alexis won't break up with you that easily. Now it will be a combination of different scenes. If you keep ignoring her in several scenes though, her route ends. The concert scene is a must-do! to stay on her route. That change also opens up other route possibilities.
I've added a new statement for Alexis --> Alexis_Dated = True/False. That comes in handy in later episodes if you meet her again, she reacts differently. Something I couldn't do before.
I'll probably rerender a few images from episode 2 as well, since the last scene in episode 1 continues on in 2. Just to make that scene uniform.

translation .... broken saves back to chapter 1!

This is a challenge?

 

[FunFuntomes]

renounce all the drama ridden wenches nd choose valeria, the only angel capable of guiding you to happiness (assuming Layla is busy at the moment)

 

[AchedCroissant]

I will only focus on Layla, Erynn, Melissa and Cara

So TAB route here I go

 

[nyrek]

melissa route=chad route
otherwise layla

I'll go on val route only if nyx gives us the rimjob on jawguy

Fixed it for ya.

It's actually on the OP:
View attachment 2179534

And that very clearly says Android - . It says nothing about Win/Linux or Mac. Hence my OP, and maybe that should be changed to avoid the obvious confusion.

more like broken saves on chapter 11.

no incest, closest is mc fuking his near step-sister.

well you can report op and request it to be moved elsewhere. luck with that although.

The Android text is only there so they can use it as a link once the android version is available.
Just because it says Android - doesn't mean that that link will give you the android download.
If you want to update from 0.10.1 you can grab the download and it will be fine, it is NOT the android download.
If it was Android, the Android text itself would have been red, not that hard to understand if you ask me.

sure but where that does make any sense?

Hmm, lately, lots of Devs are going the "re-rendering/overhaul' route. Instead of just finishing a game, updating it and etc afterwards, they decide to do it all now, before even finishing. It's like, I just see a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a....

Melissa fan I hope you didn't have to pay to see this post on Patreon... if so... I am sorry and thank you

@Melissa fan I hope you didn't have to pay to see this post on Patreon... if so... I am sorry and thank you

I pay $3 a month. I've been playing this game since day 1 and I've never paid for a game before. My plan is to cancel Patreon after a year which would be around $40. I'm happy to pay $40 for this game which is what I pay for a lot of Telltale games and Life is Strange.

I mean, as long as you are happy, aren't getting taken advantage of, and you get your money's worth, I would say that is the only thing that matters :3 I am assuming you don't live in the US? because LiS is $20 here. Sorry I wish you didn't have to pay so much for those games. I hope you wait for sales, because, Steam and sales are like, a blessing lol. I'd get them cheaper for you if I could. I'd just have to gift them to you through Steam x3

Hmm, lately, lots of Devs are going the "re-rendering/overhaul' route.

Speaking as a developer doing this currently, artists in any medium are always improving, and in a saturated market/medium like this, first impressions are everything. Seeing as most developers have very little experience when they start, most of what they do early on isn't going to look nearly as good 10 months down the line, not to mention nearly three years.

Spoiler: Early vs New render in my own VN

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If the opening of your VN is lackluster in either writing or visuals/aesthetics, you'll be turning away a good portion of any new players that might stumble through and have the means of supporting. I'm not saying that an overhaul is the right or wrong way to go about it, as there's several ways to approach doing it, but it's hardly milking, copying, or anything of that sort. It's actually more damaging to the present for a developer than it is the future, if anything. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done.

Lol, most games are done by non-English speakers. Half the time, the dialogue is horrendous. Hell, even some completed games on Steam have typos and bad English. I always spot it.

Well, your post sounds like it's leaning towards "a overhaul is nice" and yes, several ways to approach many things. I agree.

I can tell the difference in the images but, I wouldn't bother you to overhaul it immediately. Plus, why are the frames different? did you add her face in the overhaul and leave her face out the shot in the old version? It doesn't look right. If you had an actual shot fer shot, so we can see the full difference, that would help. Again, I am sure the overhaul image would still look better, but the "overhaul" just seems like a remastered version lol. Better graphics, updated everything! Something that can be done "after" the game is finished.

I'll let their actions speak for themselves. If I am wrong and they aren't milking/taking advantage of people, then, I am wrong and my fault. I am sure there are loyal Devs who do care and more, it's just that the bad stick out more than the good. They know how to catch and draw your attention and keep it, just enough to strike! and then poof, they disappear into the night, without a care in the world but with pockets full of caring/loving/fans money.

 

[Nickly]

here are some interesting comments from the person very, very, very close to the dev:



- The only ones confirmed to be love interests are: Alexis, Erynn, Layla, Elena, Nikki, Cara, Melissa

- Maybe once the Erynn situation is cleared and MC and Erynn spend more time together, there will be more Melissa.
Melissa didn't really have an introduction just yet imo. The flashback was Emily centered. Maybe we'll get more of an introduction when Erynn's dad (John?) joins the picture.

- I'd be more concerned about Valeria since she involved herself.

- And because of that Valeria will get shot! Or stabbed or... Take your pick

- People started to dislike Erynn the moment they found out she isn't a virgin. And from that point, they stopped caring and probably stopped reading what the story tells us.

- We didn't have influence at all. When Nyx was creating the scenes with Nikki, she herself liked her and decided to keep her in. But only in the "official version".
In the "Dev version" of the game, there is an option where MC freezes in that situation and Nikki dies. The renders are pretty brutal.


note: all of the above comments are in this thread. also, all comments are a bit dated, so tread carefully.


similar to badik's bella, melissa is ripe and ready for youngblood's cock. it's just matter of time (imho 2-3 updates at most).

Ariostebaldo , i bet you remember who the mysterious person is

If incest with Emily isn't on the table why is Nyx allowing us to blueball ourselves with light incest scenes?

I'm in Australia where most stuff is almost double the US price. Most $60 AAA games cost $100 here. I play everything on Xbox and I usually wait for Game Pass or sales except for the games I really love like GTA, TWD Telltale series and next year I'll buy The Wolf Among Us day 1. I don't mind giving Nyx a few bucks because she is one person making the game and it is one of my favourite games on the site. I am also playing a lot of different games for free on this site.

 

[LSC82]

Oh, Nyx, please no more bugs, just no more bugs, both old and new ones. Enough of that. Just make sure you did it perfect before you gonna release it. A couple of extra days of testing and checking won't hurt anyone, I'm telling you. Stay enthusiastic but careful.

This is my mental message to the future version of you

It seems she's acknowledging the flaw of 100% Alexis free not working as expected, i think that was you that shared my complaints right?
So improvements are coming in some areas.

The Layla cut off was very harsh too, i'm glad Nyx saw the same way.

If incest with Emily isn't on the table why is Nyx allowing us to blueball ourselves with light incest scenes?

Twisted sense of humor, the more people talk and ask about incest more jokes and teasing she does.

Still no Android version after 3 Weeks?
