VN Ren'Py Lineage or Legacy [Ch.4 Act II] [Biting The Bullet]

[Dessolos]

Does the rework for Savannah's content include making her sex scene optional? Which, iirc, is presently unavoidable (please correct me if I'm wrong on this).

you are right on that. i'm personally mixed on this tbh I wanted it to be avoidable as well but I think it's forced for story telling purposes, as I think it's part of the characters growth and for him to build confidence with other women.

Update on Development

You must be registered to see the links

A bit over 2 months now since last update was posted. A lot of people really liked Act 2 alongside valid criticism and I'm glad for that.

I've been very busy over these past two months. Not only with the development side of things but the personal side too. Moving into a new country and getting settled, that sort of thing.


So far, this is what I've covered:

• Piper's route completely mapped out (Draft)
• April's route completely mapped out (Draft)
• Sylvia's route completely mapped out (Draft)
• Natasha's route completely mapped out (Draft)

• Torrie's route completely mapped out (Draft)
• Savannah's route WIP
• Linda's route WIP
• Eliza's route WIP
• Costanza's route WIP
• Fiona's barely started
• Kaylee's barely started

Official Translations currently ongoing:

• Russian Translation WIP
• Chinese(Mandarin) Translation WIP

I'd been keeping quiet for now because I was working on a side project I'd been thinking about for a while.
It's still in early stages and was inspired by a mediaeval setting and gameplay similar to Sonny (the flash games).
This was going to be a small project that was going to take 3 months to complete so it wouldn't interfere with the ongoing work LoL.


Well, now I'm gonna have to postpone it for some other time because I got news of my shipment the other day and it's arrived at the port, a month earlier than expected.

I'll be driving down to the port sometime within the coming week or the week after due to work circumstances. Once things get sorted out, I'll announce when I'll set my PC up and start working. I'm going to try to get as much content into act 3 as I can without bloating it with too much unnecessary dialogue or spend too much time rendering in the same areas/situations. More focused on the relationships and sex.



Now then, while you guys are waiting, I wanted to keep you occupied with at least something so I got a bunch of artwork commissioned from a few great artists to turn the cast into 2D.
I've been sitting on these for a month now so I'm really excited to finally be able to share them.

I'll spread these out and post each commission once a week and in the meantime, I'm going to try and learn 2D animations so that I can give these stills some more life and add them to the game gallery.


Sorry for the silence, I'm not very talkative until I am. If you want to get in contact, discord is where I'm most active.

Cheers!

I think i should develop a VN too,
So i can shift to a new country n go radio salient for weeks or months like so many devs here

what does that have to do with this dev? Sure some devs might be more active but I find this dev is active enough especially on the forums here. I say this one is above your average dev in terms of communication ( maybe not on patron, unsure I dont look at it often) but everywhere else I think so.

 

[wuhasy]

shorter for sure as it isn't complete. i'd say something about 25% of the other chapters give or take right now but it has decent content in it so far imo. I'm, looking forward to the next part of it.

see you next year

 

[Dessolos]

see you next year

maybe for a full chapter but I have faith the next part will be much sooner than that

 

[Jaydon2000]

Great renders

You have to have the level of rude higher than the level of good.

 

[Jacowboy]

huh, is there a WT somewhere? I see I have a lot of shit still locked...

 

[MrJay]

A quick question before I play the game, is it possible to be in a relationship with all the LIs at the same time, i.e. you don't have to give up on some girls to be with others? The "Multiple Endings" tag always gives me pause.

for now yeah not sure if harem is planned or not tho. There are some points where you have to pick do you hangout or talk to Girl A or B tho.

Chapter 5, once MC's back.

No. At the most, It'll be around 1-6 at a time out of all 11.

Sorry, that's pretty much a dealbreaker for me then. It's a shame because the models in this looks amazing but I'm already following hundreds of games on this site, I don't have the time to waste playing 2-3+ different playthroughs, or juggling different save files, just because I want to see the content of all the girls.

I don't really understand why you'd do it that way either, like how does that make the game more enjoyable? I just feel like so many games on this site has already proven that simply choosing on a girl-to-girl basis whether you want to pursue them or not is superior and leads to the most relaxed and enjoyable experience. Anything between choosing them all or choosing only one is possible, so everyone is happy. When a VN tries to force me to choose between two LIs that I'm interested in, it doesn't improve the experience for me whatsoever, how could it? The literally only thing I feel is disappointment in the game for introducing an arbitrary choice that didn't need to be there and I end up dropping the game in favor of playing something more enjoyable.

I feel like it's a little bit like the same principle of people who make sandbox VNs, they get too caught up in thinking about other, unrelated stuff and forget to make their game actually enjoyable to play. They're thinking about stuff like "meaningful choices, a world to explore" and absolutely none of that matters even the tiniest bit because it just detracts from what actually matters in games like these: a good story and good lewd content. That's it. Every other thing is secondary. Anything that detracts from the two first things is actively bad for the game.

At the end of the day you'll make your game however you want it and I'm not here to force you to change it. Maybe you'll think over whether this direction is something that actually, genuinely improves the experience of playing the game or not. Maybe you already have. Either way I wish you luck because I'm not here to shit on anyone, these are just my opinions after having played probably a thousand games on this site.
