VN Ren'Py Jason, Coming of Age [v0.10.0a] [CoeurDeCochon]

[micojive]

I feel this topic has been beaten over the head enough now, so my last post on this.

We as players can only play what a dev writes. The pace of development differs between devs. Some are slow and some are fast.

Jason is an ambitious project with plenty of girls and the renders are some of the best I have seen on f95. I suspect when this game is done, it will be one of the best games on here. I had my own concern about the number of characters in the game and did mention it to the dev. But the dev assured me it's under control and I trust the dev with their game.

The dev is consistently rolling out updates of significant size (Much bigger then the 5 minutes of gameplay lie some other projects.) The fact that it's still on episode 1 is arbitrary. This is the style of the Dev to flesh out the story while developing the game. This game is ultimately about the MC's secret crystal (At this stage) and all updates tells us a bit more about it.

Even the Christmas story and the other extra stories, tells us more about the MC and fleshes out the relationship he has with his family and Lexi.

BTW. There is still a Lexi path missing in Chapter 1 so expect an update containing that in future as well.

The Dev already told that she(?) is busy with Chapter 2 (200 images in) but felt like the story did not advance enough yet, so decided to keep it out of the update. So no fear, the chapter 2 content is coming, and story is moving forward. Also, the story itself had a prologue, a chapter 1, the Christmas side story (Part of the plot) and Lara Craft Side story (OK that one is a fantasy). So, to say it's only 1 chapter after 3 year is being a bit dishonest.

It is basically the equivalent of 4 chapters.

Now you can dislike how and what the dev develops, but it's the dev's story to tell not yours. You decide if you like it or not and either supports the game or don't play. It sounds like a toddler not getting their way at the moment. Moaning about the game pace is not going to change one single thing. If you don't like it, don't play it.

Feel free to respond, but this will be my last post on this topic.

That entire wall of text and you didnt even address anything in my post that you quoted. The entire point is at the current rate this game just is never going to finish. Period. Unless this happens to be a game with only two chapters, then we will wait another 3 years.

Your right in that its the devs story to tell, but to have them post in here complaining about people not supporting the project is just typing with blinders on and completely ignoring the context of how this game has been managed so far.

Like I said, I will not post on this further. You obviously have your opinion and I mine. Let's leave it at that.

For those who get the reference, JASON is to adult Visual Novels what Star Citizen is to 4X MMOs.

That doesn't inspire confidence..

Is that Zion Williams driving the truck?

Good luck Dev game looks nice!

Is that what we were supposed to notice when it asks "Did you watch the previous scene carefully?

im glad all 3 games are now on one thing, but if i had to make a suggestion it would be to only do story updates after a clifhanger. i dont mind minor updates after normal stuff ends, but with such a big clifhanger i (and based on some of the complaints others) were excited to download and see what happens. take your time on ep3 if you need to. just some food for thought in the future. otherwise i apreciate the stuff in the new update

Whilst I like the game some, progress is very very slow. Development choices for a solo dev just make me go wtf but maybe it is because of my limited knowledge that some choices seem so crazy.

For example the option to trim pubes. There are multiple selections to pick your favourite trim style. Wouldn't this mean multiple renders of the exact same frame in a scene that could potentially have hundreds of frames accounting for animations? Then what happens when we get into threesomes or more? With all the different trim options for the various LIs wouldnt that just be a total pain in the ass to render and code for? Maybe it is a lot easier and less tedious than what it seems to me so someone feel free to correct me if im wrong.

In saying that I do enjoy what is there. The renders are very high quality and I like the story so far.

I'm no expert, but I think you can re-render just a small area of a scene (Like the pubic area) so you don't need to re-render the entire scene

Sad to say this game is too ambitious for one person to create with all the different girls (theres too many) and being able to customise each indiviuals pubic hairs and now a pointless chrismas special got worked on (what was the point of that). This looks like it will be in develepment hell considering the high level of renders and time it takes to update.

This looks like it will be in develepment hell considering the high level of renders and time it takes to update.

Not trying to flog a dead horse or start new arguments. but:
1) Pubic rendering: As per my explanation above and confirmed by the dev. To render od the pubic area alone is not such a big deal as rendering the entire scene. You can render only the pubic area for each scene that is much shorter than the initial render containing the whole scene. No posing or any other extra work needed for rendering. There are quite a few other games that also does this already. (Just select the area you want to re-render. click and boom a minute or so late you have the alternate pubic area,)
2) The pointless Christmas special as you called it contains important information to the story. A big part of the story is the mystery of the Crystal, and the special tells you the player where the MC got the crystal (And who your father is btw). So not entirely pointless.

P.S. Just in terms of the ambitious game to show that I'm not biased. That was also a concern for me. I raised it with the dev, and the dev assured me that it's all part of the plan for the game. I decided that I will trust the dev with this choice and so far I have not been disappointed. IMO the story is still coherent, and each update bring plenty of sexy scenes (A big part of why we play the game...no?). I accept that the story will not progress at the speed of light, but I have enjoyed each update so far. (Alex you are the bomb!). As long as we get updates every now and again with new content... I'm as happy as a pig in Palestine.

I hadn't played for over a year and the game is literally in the same state except with a christmas special. Oh well.

2) The pointless Christmas special as you called it contains important information to the story. A big part of the story is the mystery of the Crystal, and the special tells you the player where the MC got the crystal (And who your father is btw). So not entirely pointless.

Then why call it "special"?

Just weave it into the rest of the story if it's really that important to the story. Anything called 'special' that can be skipped should be considered part of a side project IMO and I've personally have extreme dislike for them and tend to skip them because often time they just ruin the whole "story" and is there because dev want to force some sex scenes to increase revenue / interest. You want to tell a flashback and keep some kind of "special" holiday event? Make a new chapter or just a flashback event.

I understand the first year might be very difficult and be super slow but at this point you better have started to streamline some of this work.

I also think dev getting less than they deserve when it comes to patreon/payment if I ONLY go by Patreon. They are getting paid way less than some other really bad projects. IMO this game need big overhaul when it comes to cover image and how it is presented. Make the girls take up more space, make it look bright and fun, better font etc. I think it would do a WORLD of difference for this game. It took me forever to come around to it because it felt like a very dated game.

But yeah,tl:dr : Don't make "specials", if they essential to the plot or part of the plot - weave it in. If not, keep it away as a sideproject. Fix the cover image and make it more pleasing to attract more people if dev is really worried about the income.

Alright, I'll make one last effort to answer this recurring question, and then we can move on, okay?

I am well aware that players always want more new content and, above all, for the story to progress quickly. They also want to have choices. They want original gameplay. They want the game to meet all their expectations. They want animations. CoeurDeCochon is not Ubisoft, CoeurDeCochon is not Dr. PinkCake with his millions, CoeurDeCochon is one person doing their best. The fans of the game are on my Patreon and SS. The fans of the game support me regularly and tell me to take my time to ensure quality as I always have. To reward the fans of the game, I offer them new updates and news regularly and create special renders featuring their favorite characters.

The game has evolved a lot since its release and I think it has completely changed to adapt to everyone's tastes. F95 and its fans are fortunate to be endorsed by many creators who offer their work for free. In return, F95 highlights these games and allows new players to discover them. It is the large number of players who support a game that allows it to develop quickly. If 95% of games stop producing, it's because they didn't find enough support. JASON is doing well but remains on the edge of a cliff.

So, I don't understand why some people keep complaining for more without giving anything in return (fortunately, they are not many) and complain systematically! Are you a fan of JASON? Do you want more of JASON? Give me time!

I hope my analysis is clear? The language barrier is tough!

For those who get the reference, JASON is to adult Visual Novels what Star Citizen is to 4X MMOs.

Coeur2cochon also has a unique style, with a quality rarely achieved in renders. OK, you don't like it? Just go check out the thousands of other games. The fans of JASON and those yet to come will love what CoeurDeCochon has in store for them!

Some examples for those discovering this page.

I really liked the update Amerias scenes were hot, was there a way to hookup with Mizuki, thought when he went in the bathroom after her something might happen, maybe he had to reject flirting with Ameria? Also please don’t let Maria die, I want Jason to save her and help her off the streets and out of debt and into his bed

Why was Madison's age raised from 16 to 18? Lame. Probably doing an Ocean and kissing Steam's asses and watering it down for them.

Think a little bit about ages. 16 is not too appropirate in adult games, so dev must have change it.

 

[NewYorkKid1994]

Ok new question, as I just finished the game to its current update. How often is this game updated? I'm enjoying the storyline and all the unique factors of this game and look forward to the next release.

 

[BCGuy]

I just downloaded the latest version of Jason (10.0a) and I get an icon in the upper left that says I need to update my save game. How do I do that? Obviously, it isn't by doing a new save. I clicked on the icon and got a blank screen, so don't know what to do with that. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

[dod1958]

Has the dev fixed the issue with save games? I quit playing at v0.8.1 because I was tired of having to start a new game every update.
