VN Ren'Py Life is Vanilla [0.1] [Liv Productions]

[LifeIsVanilla]

I'm close to subscribing for her alone, but from my experience with other games:

- she's just bait that won't be in the game
- she'll be in update 0.8243, so in about 5 years
- the game will be abandoned before her turn comes

View attachment 4376517

I think I'll pass, too many disappointments...

As a fellow F95 follower for a few years, I totally understand! I forgot the count of how many different projects I follow, check for updates and then look at the last update being over 2 years ago .
I will be working on more updates, as I have a full vision of what the game will look like. The only thing that can stop me are really unforeseen events.
Feel free to check this thread again in a few months to see if the content has improved and if there is enough story to earn your trust. Meanwhile any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Also feel free to follow the free tier if you want to, I'll be posting polls, news and some extra pictures from the development.

And here I thought that Life Is Strange.

 

[HyperKiZ]

The characters are gorgeous. instantly putting on my list for games to look out for. I don't want to download it now because ill be to sad when this version ends D:

Super excited for you and your game <3

Will there be a harem or part of a harem?

 

[Golzd]

Sorry to sound cynical, but any game with the word vanilla in title is immediately sus. What are the planned tags??

 

[Xo Mo]

Interesting narrative.
Loads of typos, but legible and comprehensible throughout.
The art leaves much to be desired, but I can understand having a very limited budget, it is what it is.
Eye of the beholder stuff, visually.
Having never been in any way connected to the popular crowd, nor having friends/a best friend, having all that may be something I'm sure many may relate to... excluding myself. (unfortunately?)
Overall, a nice little story thus far.
Kinetic VN with no choices.

Constructive advice:
Could use an objective readthrough and grammar/spell check if Dev has time or any desire to do so.
Animations are inconsistent with the still images preceding or following them.
Body scan pan-up animations from foot to crown could be trimmed by 1 second or so, since they go way above the character's chin.
A lot of text over unmoving still images that only change on occasion, could use "in-betweeners"...

Thanks for the share

thx for the reply

so what are your plans for her?

 

[LifeIsVanilla]

Will there be a harem or part of a harem?

No Harem per say, but there will be a few scenes involving multiple girls at the same time. So I guess it depends on the definition of harem . If you mean be in a serious relationship with multiple girls at the same time, not gonna be there, but scenes with more than one girl at the same time as something casual, yes!

Sorry to sound cynical, but any game with the word vanilla in title is immediately sus. What are the planned tags??

It is not an ironical title, this will be on a more softcore side of things

The main tags so far are MALE PROTAGONIST, BIG ASS, BIG TITS, TEASING, VIRGIN, HANDJOB, ORAL SEX, VAGINAL SEX, CREAMPIE, STRIPPING, EXHIBITIONISM, CHEATING, DRUGS, GROUP SEX. Some already present in the current version, while the others I'm working on right now!

Thanks a lot!!!! This is gold for me, as you mentioned, some of the things might have gone on my blind spot, and made to the release version, so I'll have a look and correct the typos I can find. (I'm not a native English speaker, so some typos can be tricky to spot).

And thank you again for the constructive advice, I've played many visual novels, but I'm still trying to find my "style", and I want the next chapter to have more movement in the images between dialogs, I'm always trying to encapsulate everyone in a single frame, but might be better to just focus on the character actively speaking.

thx for the reply

so what are your plans for her?

Her name right now is Rachel, but I'll probably open a poll to check if people would like to name the characters dynamically when playing the game.

Without spoiling the story too much, she comes from a very humble family and was raised by her mom alone, but she started working since very young as she has a lot of ambition and craved for a more luxurious life, she avoid following her feelings when it comes to relationships, as her desire for a luxurious life is stronger, and is more interested in a wealthy partner. Since she wants to belong in a higher society, she lives by the looks, always trying to impress and give the impression that she has more than she actually have.

I meant the plan (schedule) for placing her in the game, because I see she's not on the title banner, so it worries me a bit

She is already in the prologue for a brief scene, she is simply not in the title banner as there will be about 12 female character in total, and in some of the images I created, there will be only a few of them.

The next chapter I'm working on, we will see more of her, but not any explicit scenes yet.

Скачал, поиграл, теперь напишу немного об этой игре.
Ну чтож, минусы и плюсы. Так же немного вопросов.
1) Сделал перевод. Но пришлось удались настройки шрифта что бы он отображался. Ссылка на перевод будет ниже если кому надо. Но кнопку переключения языка добавляйте сами.
2) Я понимаю что это начало но всё равно маловато не то что интимных сцен, но даже просто сцен с девушками. История о том как тусуються парни.
3) Хорошо сделан текс в игре. Иногда просто общение и никакого описание. Тут есть много описания действий, мыслей и повествование. Сам так делаю так что это хорошо.
4) Выглядит всё хорошо. Качество хорошее. Видно что старательно. Персонажей долго делал или просто случайных добавил. В VAM сильно грузит компьютер когда много персонажей в сцене? Не знаю как действует VAM, насчёт делать не знаю но рендеринг долго или просто скриншот надо делать.
5) Ради примера скину пару игр сделанных. Скину в сообщения.

Downloaded, played, now I'll write a little about this game. Well, pros and cons. Also a few questions. 1) Made the translation. But I had to delete the font settings so that it would be displayed. The link to the translation will be below if anyone needs it. But add the language switch button yourself. 2) I understand that this is the beginning, but there are still not enough not only intimate scenes, but even just scenes with girls. A story about how guys hang out. 3) The text in the game is well done. Sometimes it's just communication and no description. There is a lot of description of actions, thoughts and narration. I do it myself, so it's good. 4) Everything looks good. Good quality. It's obvious that it was done carefully. Did it take a long time to make the characters or did you just add random ones. Does VAM load the computer a lot when there are a lot of characters in the scene? I don't know how VAM works, I don't know about doing it, but the rendering takes a long time or you just need to take a screenshot. 5) For the sake of an example, I'll throw in a couple of games made. I'll throw in messages.

Hey there Voronkov,

First let me thank you for taking the time to play my game and for the feedback you're providing, this is great for me to improve the game in the next chapter.

1 - I want to add multi-language support, but I'm still learning how to implement it, so I appreciate the help with the translation!
2 - I understand, and indeed this prologue is just to create an introduction to the main character and friends, it became a bit short as I wanted to publish it for Christmas, but I'm sharing more about the development in my

, it shows a bit more about the choices and branches that will be available.
3 - Thank you, really appreciate the feedback!
4 - VAM works slightly different than DAZ, as the renders are captured in real time mostly, which can be good and bad at the same time. Is basically a game engine running an Unity game, but with similar options as DAZ 3D to generate timelines, poses, customize characters, scenarios and light. Light is not as great as in other rendering engines (from my experience), but it is fairly simple to use.
Performance drops considerably on VAM when adding more than 2 characters in a scene, is not the most optimized piece of software, but there are a few tricks that can help with the performance, like disabling collisions and lights while setting the scene, and only enabling it when ready to capture.
5 - I will have a look later today!


If the AI translated it well:


Привет, Воронков,

Во-первых, спасибо, что уделили время на игру и за предоставленную обратную связь. Это очень поможет мне улучшить игру в следующей главе.

1. Я планирую добавить поддержку нескольких языков, но пока ещё изучаю, как это правильно реализовать, так что спасибо за помощь с переводом!
2. Я понимаю, что вы имеете в виду, и действительно, пролог был создан, чтобы представить главного героя и его друзей. Он получился немного коротким, так как я хотел выпустить его к Рождеству. Но я делюсь процессом разработки на странице Patreon, где можно увидеть больше о предстоящих ветвлениях сюжета и возможных выборах.
3. Спасибо, мне очень приятно получить такую оценку!
4. VAM работает немного иначе, чем DAZ, так как рендеры в основном захватываются в реальном времени. Это может быть как плюсом, так и минусом. По сути, это игровой движок, который запускает игру на Unity, но с похожими функциями, как у DAZ 3D, для создания временных линий, поз, настройки персонажей, сценариев и света. Освещение, на мой взгляд, не такое качественное, как в других рендер-движках, но программа довольно проста в использовании.

Производительность в VAM значительно падает, если добавить больше двух персонажей в сцену. Это не самое оптимизированное программное обеспечение, но есть несколько трюков, которые могут помочь, например, отключение столкновений и света при настройке сцены, и их включение только при захвате.

1. Я посмотрю ваши игры позже сегодня!
