VN Ren'Py Isabella - Chasing Shadows [Ch. 4.2] [badtimetales]

[Son of Durin]

Won't happen for a few reasons.
The sounds must fit the animation, so TTS voices (which are mostly bad anyway) won't work.

If I hire a VA and she quits the job during development, it's a big problem.
But much more important: How do you picture the voices? People make an image of what they cannot see or hear.
So for one player Alex has a smoky voice, the next thinks she has high toned clear voice and so on.

Might be a DLC for steam.

It's refreshing to see this attitude.

Any VN I've played that later introduced voice acting just destroyed it for me - had to turn that sound channel off.

Some of the moan stuff isn't so bad, but not when they choose "Japanese porn moan - orgasm when you breath near the girl."

So the part where William says "You're (insert your name here)! I didn't know it was you all along!" Then he proceeds to tell the MC how his case was the first big case and then proceeded to follow the MC's life pretty hard. This doesn't make any sense to me. He should've known it was the MC when they met later in life. Feels very illogical.

Hmmm... you are aware that people change quite a bit from 11 years old to 31, right?

Also, he followed MC's life, not his looks. Also, many people have a bad face recognition, especially from children to adults.

It's one thing to follow the events on someone's life and another to follow that person physical development.

Or, William was just lying. He knew it was him all along and had positioned himself to be able to insert himself back in his life, have you considered that? I'm NOT saying it is, I'm saying we don't know if it is or not.

The story is still at the start, we don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes, how deep the conspiracy is, how deep BTT wants to take this.

Now, out of the game, you made a VERY good point. Let's see if BTT has something to say about it. *****

Peace

Well, Wil told you a bit about his career, looks like he was really busy.
It was his first big case as a detective, so he was quite invested but after leaving the police and later the army for "more interesting work", this case wasn't so important anymore.

And if you compare the chubby, long haired young MC with his actual looks it's understandable that he didn't recognize the MC at once.


(best excuse I can come up with )

But he has told her lovely niece every detail about the case, so much that she feels she knows it as if it's one of her own cases

When she was younger, as a kid, and the mc's case was still important for Wil.

As a gentleman I have to say
The mc should focus all his time
On taking the girls on lots of romantic dates
He could also buy them flowers and hold their hands when they are cuddling on the couch

Oh, and every night before bed he needs to kiss the girls on the cheek and tell them how much he loves them

See everyone I'm a very romantic guy

If that's the price I have to pay to keep boinking Val in peace, well, so be it.

"Hey Alex, stop eating the rose!"

Then all get murdered, right.
Also what sort of white knight are you? Would not you get your revenge for the murder of your love of your life?

Oh yeah, I forgot about revenge
Ok new plan revenge first
Romantic dates second

No. Absolutely not. Everything all at once.

PDA all the time. Everywhere. While working on the revenge.

Peace

Hey.

Like every weekend, here is the update.
Not much to report anyway, posing, rendering, writing, planning. Like always.

The girls are getting closer, as you can see.

Render count is up to 178 pictures, with 21 more posed (but no lighting yet).
I don't have a fixed/planned number of renders, as I often add renders to a scene to make it feel more natural in the last play through.
But I'm happy with the progress.

I've added a poll for those who have played the update, regarding the favorites function and gallery.


Have a nice weekend and thanks for your support,


BTT

I've added a FAQ in the OP.
I'm just too lazy answering the same questions again and again

 

[Dessolos]

I Always appreciate it when updates are also shared here. Even though the game is still being worked on I would like to a moment yo thank you for making this game. It's on the few games I think about once in awhile while waiting for the next chapter / update. Every once in awhile I even make up some made up fanfiction of what might or I would like to happen in my head about characters in this game since I liked it so much. Only 2 or 3 other AVN games were powerful enough to do that to me.

I really appreciate that, it's nice to know that people like the game.

But to be honest, I don't see a reason to post here any more, except for the fan-base i've build up.
Which is a good reason, I love you guys, thanks for the support!

The public release is a week old now, the thread got 70k pageviews.
I've got a lot of people commenting, got a lot of nice replies.

But 70k pageviews (that's maybe 15-35k in real because of returning users) led to 4 ratings and 30 or so likes on the OP.
I got a lot of likes on my user account though.

Nearly nobody commented on the rework.
I understand that it's hard to see the difference if you don't play it side by side, as the last update was so long ago.
But I bet there are a lot of new players and I really would like to hear what they think.

It's a learning curve for me, since I started the development.
But if nobody comments on the progress, it's really hard to find out what is good or bad.

And I do understand that this is a pirate board.
But a rating, a comment, a like?

Anyway, enough whining, back to work

If you think that will stop people from asking the same questions over and over again you're in for a surprise.
Recent studies have found that 95% of f95 users don't even read the thread tags

haha that be me but I dont complain either I just read the description of the game and screenshots that tells me more if I want to play it tags dont mean anything to me if I want to play a game or not but then again I guess im not picky about what type of content is in a game since ill play anything if it seems interesting to me.
