Ren'Py Lara's Anal Adventure [v0.8] [Donnarian]

[donnarian]

I would politely suggest to dev to reconsider his/her/they marketing strategy:
- If this game is an heavy scat focused game makes really no sense to put this as an avoidable fetish in tags. Maybe i can avoid it but how much content will be left in the game?
- If this game is an heavy anal focused game with optional scat content (as tags suggest) is absolutely crazy to put these screenshots in the first page, they will just scare off people that aren't into scat content.

I would also elaborate this a bit further saying that even if this is a scat focused game i think is quite counterproductive to include such explicit screenshots in the game presentation especially since the Lara Croft mc will for sure make lot of people come to check it. My suggestion in this case would be a way milder visual presentation (no scat at all would be better tbh) with a huge textual warning, something like "THIS GAME IS HEAVY SCAT FOCUSED, CONSIDER PLAYING SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU AREN'T INTO THIS SHIT" (yeah, see what i did there? ). The heavy visual presentation that we have now will just result in having this thread filled of feedbacks like mine (or less polite ones) by people that just wanted a game with Lara and aren't minimally interested into scat content (hence in your game).

Of course this was just my two cents about this matters, dev is free to think that i'm just a donkey that's braying nonsensical and do things in the way he likes the most.

Hi, thanks for the constructive feedback. I'm sure you're right about a lot of things and I'll try to work on that.

I don't have a strategy, by the way. I did try generating a few images on pornworks.com once like this and when there were many more than a few I figured why not try making a game in ren'py. It'll probably be a flop, but maybe at least a few people will like it.

I'm not forcing anyone to play the game it's completely free for anyone who is interested. It's intentionally tagged and extreme content is off by default, but it's true that I didn't realize someone might click through based on the new game.

...fuck this, i got scat jumpscare best anti porn advert

As a man who has actually seen real life watersports (not tried but I have seen it) I feel compelled to tell you the back hole has nothing to do with urine except in the rare case of a woman laying on her back while she goes.
These images (at least 15 so far) of her shooting pee out her back door isn't possible solo unless she is peeing in a bottle and pouring it in her ass before pushing from her guts.

You're right, but explain it to the AI and who knows about the bottle

Alot of Crashing while trying to play. All on the beach while searching. Seems that is where the game gets stuck at. To me its not worth playing cause all you end up doing is trying to feed,piss,shit over and over. Fix the crashing while exploring the beach and this might have some worth.

Where the game falls? Survivor bay or boat bay?

Are you asking about the USS Brownfish? you are correct a submarine in the Navy is actually called a boat

i mean this

It sends you back to the menu if you run out of energy while exploring the boat bay

Boat bay. When you are out of energy. But no everytime for me.

I have scat off. Piss and bestiality on.

I had the same.

I think you can find a hint in this post ;-)

Considering the game's main fetish, I'd say this is one of the few times that this expression can be taken literally

Okay, I got it. I'll try to upload a fix today, including a few other minor adjustments.
You can fix it yourself if you want.
Go to the "game" folder find "script_boat_bay.rpy" open it in notepad for example and on line 43 replace if stat_energy < 5 with if stat_energy < 10.

Okay, I like those kinks, but the inconsistencies in AI-generated CG are so annoying. The previous picture was hairy, and the next one became hairless

 

[Boomer07]

Wow, what is that?

Did poor Lara have some terrible accident with her hand?

Or here some ghostfingers on her butt

 

[cooperdk]

AI is not the same as real porn, at all. Mod: Please correct the tags. It's either AI or real.

Its too early for me to add an actual review-review that I might forget to edit later.. Very interesting concept, very early stages. Some of the images are well done, some are... not.

I will say that the biggest killer of AI art (aside from inconsistency, though this one doesn't suffer too much for that) isn't that its AI art, its when its not intentional. If you are making the art on your computer have unlimited images... so just generated 20, 30, etc, and then pick ones that aren't being weird. Like that eggplant monster thing in the background, or some of the strange offset eyes, or the eggplant pouring out like its liquid.. Just.. spend a little more time. Don't even have to get into the advanced tools like inpainting, just generate more options and then make sure to discard the bad ones.

And this game doesn't need to be as grindy as it is with food gathering and low energy. Yea, I get there isn't a lot of content.. but that's fine, just own that for an early alpha game and let it be a 10 min experience. Its fine. A game (to me) is about interesting choices, its where its different from a visual novel (which is a fancy way of saying 'a comic that for some reason uses a full game engine instead of being in a small compressed PDF'). Grinding through the same loop with an RNG isn't 'interesting choices', its just click the mandatory buttons in slow order.

Anyway, I'll be curious where this game is at in a few months

This game shouldn't need to be a flop, an anal focused game with Lara as mc? That's a banger by definition. Sure, AI images could be refined a bit but for a first try i say that those aren't really too bad and honestly i think that except some really obvious errors that other users have already posted here those are sufficient for now, focus on new content while you gain more knowledge and then come back and "remaster" this first release(s) once you have got better. Even in the actual state those are still good enough to interest people.

What i still think that's not good for making people interested are half of the preview images. They are really too extreme for the average audience and since you really tought about them making bestiality and scat off by default it's quite hard to understand why those are still there. Most people will just close instantly the page once they see them. Imho you should just remove them and just underline in the description that the game has quite a lot of scat content for people who are into the genre but is turned off by default. Maybe (but you should check if this is allowed by the site rules) you can host some of the scat previews elsewhere and link those images in the game description under a spoiler tag, that would work too, just avoid to post these along the "less extreme" ones because those are also used to generate the game preview in the last updates page and when you have such a specific fetish in your game it will easily scare off potential playes/supporters even before they enter in this thread to read about the game.

That said i won't press on the matter anymore, as i stated before those are just my two cents about the matter but the game is yours and you should act as you think is better. I dared to make another post following your polite reply but i don't want to act or seem too pushy. I just want to see more Lara games being succesful projects and i hope yours will be too, that's all.

this site is overrun with AI stuff now. A majority don't even get finish and a vast amount are still in the 0.1 phase. Some are clearly abandoned.

 

[Berlioz-7]

And most have random shitty sandbox mechanics/management systems too. It's okay to just release a short story with pictures

 

[FookU2]

Some constructive feedback would be to just not use AI. At least in my eyes, it ruins a game or VN. I usually hit the ignore button on these and move on, but it's Lara, and I figured I would at least check the thread to see. But, no...that is not Lara. The AI failed.
Personally, I would rather see basic, commonly used renders from somewhere else than to see AI destroy the image of a character that could otherwise be good.
My 2 cents...take it with a grain of salt, I guess.
