VN Ren'Py Completed Leap of Faith [Ch. 8 v1.0.3] [DriftyGames]

[ename144]

Eh, don't love her just don't feel like it is worth the energy to hate a fictional character in a porn game (no matter how good the game is). My energy levels suck at the best of times and this is not the best of times. Need to stop wasting energy on trivial things (in comparison to my family, etc). I felt that the explanation given worked for Drifty's world, not for an actual real world explanation. But I can see why someone who is obviously still hung up on someone would accept it and try to move on with them. Just am glad we got the explanation and the story can move forward without that baggage. I'm now more worried about the fact that this story will only have 8 updates and we are more than half way through.

Technically we won't be halfway through until next month.

Eh, technically. But still not a very long game which feels like it is already sacrificing some character development for expediency. I mean, it is far better than the typical fuck fests on here (waaaaaay better) but I still feel like everything is moving too quickly.

That may be now because you used to hate her -->
(I did not say you love her though, I did mean you have eaten your past words of hate like many others xD)
btw I won't call LOF a porn game, is a very good visual novel with some adult content but is not really a porn game, the game is more centered on story than sex.

Honestly think I need to resign as president of the Anti-steph club.

There are people on here who hate her far more than I can muster these days (far more than is healthy really). Perhaps the real world has broken me, LOL. Anyway, I ended up being friendly to her and bringing her along in the Cece path and then I played the Steph path and, though I don't see how anyone could take her back, I did feel happy for James when he did. Felt like his broken heart healed far better with her than with Cece.

Whoever said that they foresaw the Cece path possibly being darker than the Steph path... I am starting to believe you.

LOL... See that's exactly why I resigned from head of that "club". People took me far too seriously and took hating her to extreme levels. I'm not denying that I didn't like her, I still don't like her, I just wasn't nearly as serious about it as everyone seems to think. It was meant mostly as a joke (though with a seed of truth) but I began to fear that I was helping to perpetuate actual hate of a character and thus inciting problems within the thread about the game. I've actually distanced myself from the game and thread a bit because I was worried about the unfortunate impact I may have had upon the game and community. Best not to add any more fuel to the fire.

Calling it a joke would imply that I had some punchline to it but I didn't. I was being more of a troll than I really should have been or intended to be. As someone who hates hypocrisy but realizes we are all hypocrites I decided it is best to end my troll behavior.

Progress report
This week I've been focusing on keeping the render queue filled with static story renders. My goal was to finish a big in game story event by today, and I'm happy to say I managed to finish it yesterday, which gave me a very small head start on the Kira/Robin route.
Render count is steadily increasing, and the full Chapter 4 now has more content than the three first chapters combined. Static render count for this update is currently at 1,123 static renders and 4,252 animated frames.
This weekend I'll be focusing mostly on catching up with the scripting together with nightly animation renders. It'll be a nice break from the insane amount of posing I went through this week.
In other words I'm where I should be on the progress, and as long as 2020 doesn't throw any unpleasentries at me the next weeks I should be fine.
Threesome winner
Lexi and Holly are the winners of the vote, and will get the added threesome scene for Chapter 5, where one of them will get a one-on-one event with the MC as an alternative.
Have a nice weekend and stay safe.

Well I'm really glad that Cece didn't win that poll I didn't fit her character in my opinion. Hopefully the one on one event is with Lexi since right now I'm not really that interested in Holly.

Well it could be a nice extra introduction for Holly, since we hardly know her at all. Guess there will be at least one scene with Lexi in chapter 4 if chose her route.

Gotta say, excellent game. Just became a supporter, and cant wait to see how it finishes! Both Stephanie and MC have piss poor trigger discipline though

I don't mind threesomes, throuples or harems as long as they make sense story wise and the only threesome that makes since in this game is Kira/Robin/James. So yeah i hope any/all of the new threesome options are optional.

100% agree with you on this, some would just not make sense story wise.
Yet it could if the threesome happened as a dream... wouldn't even have to be the MC's dream. IJS


EDIT ADD...
Have to say again... that the sound track to this game really makes it so much better.
First time playing it was with out sound and it was good... but it has to be played with the sound track.

Yeah, James obviously had no blood in his brain left at that point but hopefully Steph made sure it was empty before she came out (being an agent and all).

 

[Naxer]

Well, I loved this game, so far. Renders and characters are amazing, but the writing is remarcable.

Can't wait to next update, but Cece it's too much, I already love her.

 

[abc23]

Great story, great renders, great character depth (Cece is the best btw, very close to Luna DeLuca in my personal ranking).


Funny story: the music is good (like really good), but I keep its volume low cause I can't focus on dialogues otherwise. The problem is when the alarm clock rings in the game, since its volume is adjusted by a different bar in the settings and it's very realistic. So it happened twice that the other person I'm sharing an apartment with asked me why I set an alarm around 11 pm...

 

[Sinsofmyblood]

Yes!!!. Lexi is my main girl for this game, now having even more content with her makes me wish the 22nd would get here faster haha.

Dev Diary, 4th of December, 2020


"No, you're 'drunkerer'."

The weeks are flying by as I keep pouring those renders out. This week has been a little bit of everything. Animations, scripting, posing, still-renders, and picking out music to fit the mood.
I'm at 1,210 static renders and roughly 5,500 animation frames. I've also added about 2,000 lines of dialogue, scripting, a little mini-game and bought all the christmas presents I had on my list. Oh, and don't worry about that mini-game. You can't fail it - other than your own pride that is. It's purely cosmetical for in game purposes.

There's still heaps to be rendered, written, and when all that is done it all needs some post-work in photoshop. But I'm on squedule for the 22nd release, and I am really looking forward to getting it out there.

Just a few weeks now, and you'll see who's the 'drunkest-est'. And have a great weekend.

Does the next update contain all the girls left out in the previous update?

 

[AragornG1234]

I'm really enjoying this game so far, I think it's one of the beter games when it comes to story building. The characters in the game are in general 'believable'.

My only question is, how will this game continue after the current chapter? I have played both 'endings' (from current content), with Steph and with Cece, and both of them seems like they are 'definitive', as in, I would honestly feel bad for cheating after those declarations of love. So, is it supposed to just be a small story of the week(s) that it takes for the MC to get over Steph (end find new love) OR get back together with her after 2 years and find out all the truth?

I would be fine with that, a sort (very well written/strong) story with multiple branching coming to an end with de MC finding new love. I just hope it doesn't become unbelievable (based on the character development from the first chapters), where the MC finally is over (or back together) with the love of his life, finds new love (or gets back together) and then starts sleeping with everyone? That would feel weird (given how dedicated to Steph he was).

Drifty has said it won't be a harem game, so I don't think you have to worry about it becoming a mindless fuckfest after your character commits to one of the girls. The next update is the content for the other girls during the same time interval as the latest update. So, parallel paths. And going forwards, I believe we're in for some more drama that will drive the story forward until we reach the conclusion. And I will be damned excited to see it, and will be deeply sad when the story is complete and we have to leave these awesome characters behind once we've replayed everything to death. And then excited again to see what Drifty does next

If Drifty gives us the option to propose(or even marry Cece),as far as Im concerned it will always be replayable.As for the drama part,I would be surprised if anything other than MC's dad was the main driving factor for the rest of the game.
