Soooo... Virtually no new scenes, and some cringe text? Way to go Hreinn, what an update.
How do you trigger the new events at the Brothel? The gallery says we need to make either of the people dissatisfied to make the scene happen but no idea wtf that means.
Pls mac ver
honestly, I have my doubts. I'm very busy with my life (as you can probably guess from my commenting schedule) and personally, I'd think twice before promising anything. Besides, I believe we're kind of underestimating the scope of the work required to create an actual, functioning game (tho as I said before, I know nothing about coding and have never done any writing).Were you serious about making a "development thread / group chat" ?
I typed a really long post about this topic.. then deleted it.. and started digging into renpy code to see how it works instead.![]()
I also don't have a spare 5 years to spend on making a Noxian Nights of Deception 3..honestly, I have my doubts.

I speak from experience when I say "I don't want to commit to something I have next to no idea about", but creating a thread here could be a good start to see how much support we can get from the community. you know, because it's gonna be "community work".
ps: your SD works are awesome. even if we never get to create anything for KoD, I rly encourage you to follow it up and make something out of it for yourself. I personally follow it mostly as a hobby (a few pics a week when I'm bored), but you went DEEP into the rabbit hole.
I also don't have a spare 5 years to spend on making a Noxian Nights of Deception 3..
My ~*~Master Plan~*~ was to create a Renpy framework that writers could add dialogue / events / images to without needing to write code. If I could lower the bar for the community so they don't need to write code or draw art, then we could create a crowd sourced game that people could drop in and out of, so it didn't depend on any one person to commit to it.
~*~The Master Plan~*~
1) Create an open source git repository
2) Let people write their own stories / quests / content as a community effort - remove artwork & code as barriers.
3) Let them push Images + Text to the project.
4) [OPTIONAL] Have a team of people vet their pull requests for typos / canon breaking / whatever..
5) ???
6) Come back in 6 months and play it myself to see what the community created
Risks
- Looking at Renpy (for the first time) it doesn't seem possible to easily remove *all* coding.
(I can make it very very simple for people to copy and paste templates, but there will be a small amount of in-lining)
- Lack of interest
- Nobody wanting to contribute to a project that doesn't have financial incentive

Those last two are a killer.
This only works if people at scale care more about creativity / storywriting / lewd than $$.
My motivation ultimately - was to learn & try new things and give the community something interesting to engage with.

EDIT:
Master Plan-B
Help Nomo to do this to speed up their workflow / help with motivation.
I respect your resolve, but I'm a bit of a cynic overall. I say we can try creating a thread at least to brainstorm ideas (what we want to do, what's the general story, who are the characters, etc) and then see how people react. just to get enough engagement to know we're not just circle-jerking.This only works if people at scale care more about creativity / storywriting / lewd than $$.

My art vocabulary probably isn't good enough to give proper feedback, but a few differences stick outThis is not img2img.
I used the left one to generate a openpose rig - then used that rig to generate the right side images..
For those who don't use SD, the left image itself is not used at all to make the right one(s), I only used the left image to generate a skeleton rig which is basically a JSON file of lines that represent bones / fingers that can be used to pose characters, the pixels / original image is then thrown away, it's just a way to copy the pose, not the actual aesthetic.
Noxian Nights sequel?
There are small fixes / clean ups that could be done on the below images..
I was rushing a little because I'm trying to test how well the LORA works..
The goal should be:
- very consistent poses / facial expressions without relying on a crutch like img2img, because ideally you want to create multiple clothing types
- have very deterministic outcomes when you prompt or pose something, you don't want "randomness" coming through your LORA / Model otherwise it makes it very difficult to create assets.

Actually - I stole the idea from Aura-Dev.your idea is similar to a lot of chatbot services like character.ai where instead of creating a chatbot from scratch, they provide a platform for their users to create something simple and then interact with it until the ai learns more and develops itself.
Now this... this is da waeCreate an open source git repository
If you can make creative, lewd story-writing worth more than $100, why not?This only works if people at scale care more about creativity / storywriting / lewd than $$
I figured that was how you initiate the scene, but after constantly spamming it as well, I gave up.So I played the 'new' 'update' with the sub route since I saved over my dom route last time.
- Two new scenes with the trader which are just zoomed-in versions of another CG albeit with a shitty edit over the blindfold asset they've used before, the scenes are, as usual, extremely shitty in terms of writing and make about as much sense as Sabia's current housing situation. 2/10, I appreciate the zoom-in efforts.
- A couple of new scenes at the bar/brother where Amelia is, now I can't say I've seen them all, cause the gist is, you need to spam the everliving shit out of the bar-serving activity (I've done a work-sleep cycle about 10 times and I only got one scene) where you piss off NPCs by serving them last, after enough times, they initiate a scene. The scenes are, as one would expect, re-used CGs with different skin colours and more lazy porn dialogue. 1/10, they tried.
Overall, this was totally worth the 8-month wait or however long it's been, thanks, Hreinn!
