Wow! I didn't expect this to be posted so quickly. Thank you all for both the positive and negative comments. I will defiantly learn from them.
@carnalcardinal Thank you! I downloaded your game a while back and have been looking forward to playing it. Now that I have the demo of Lexi out, I should have time to do that. BTW...that first image...
I wanted to apologize for not including a proper description. I uploaded this at around midnight knowing that I had to get up for work in a little over three hours, and I overlooked it in my rush to get to bed. Anyway...I'll get that corrected on my patreon page tonight.
I'm glad some of you got a kick out of the 0.001. XD I had just downloaded renpy and expected to compile more than once for testing before release.
@fsap1 I rendered in 1440p and reduced. After reading comments on here, I wish I had only reduced to 1080p. I still have all the png files. It will take time, but if you guys want a better resolution, I can do that.
I'm not sure what to do about the jpeg compression artifacts. I've tried eliminating as much as I can, but in my early renders I just couldn't get rid of them all. I've learned that lighting can have an effect on that, and was able to get rid of most of it in later renders. If you guys have any advice, I would really appreciate it.
@Velimere and
@1989 C.L What's happening with the font on your screen? Please explain.
In regard to similarities in archetypes to DMD and Melody. Out of all the games I've played, those are my two favorite, and I like the archetypes. I hope to deviate from that some, but this game will be the virgin, the slut, and either the popular girl, or maybe a stuck up bitch. I don't know just yet.
The concept of Lexi actually started very different from the current story line will be. While it did not include incest, and never will, it was something that was very uncommon in a VN and really pushed the boundaries. Unfortunately Patreon rules killed that in the concept phase. I won't spoil it for you, but I do still hope to put a small amount of that original idea in this game, if I can work that out with Patreon.
BTW....thank you to MrDots for the advice that got me started.
