Unity Abandoned Locus Tenebrarum [2022_12_13] [Rue]

[ayy]

IDGAF about animations tbh, what matters more is the buildup, and how the pictures pair with the dialogue. If you can make a game with realistic dialogue with realistic sexual tension in it, that counts for way more than some lifeless VN with fantastic animations. I can watch porn in 4k if I wanted animation, or play one of those shitty Lifeselector games.

Great job with your 2D art. I honestly couldn't tell if it was 2D or stylized 3D at first. The only nitpick I could find visually (other than the 3D others have already commented on) was that your artist seems to struggle a bit with drawing hands. Oh well, that's fine. After all, since they're a real live flesh-and-blood human artist, it's inevitable that their art skills will improve over time, right? I mean, it's not like they're fundamentally incapable of understanding what a hand even is, or anything.

From image to image, that's the only flaw I could spot. I look forward to watching your artist continue to gan style and skill as the project develops.

Edit: (Then I read the rest of the thread and found out you already told everybody. )

Nice game, little confused by how much content there is. I got a "th-th-that's ALL folks!" popup after getting a handjob from Adaline, but the screenshots show her showing her All, to say nothing of Christa getting her kit off and a couple of other scenes I didn't see.

Did the end of content notice trigger early? Did I accidentally skip some content? Or is there actually stuff added past the end of the banner, and I should go back and talk to Fona again.

As a side note: is there a non-Discord site for Stable Diffusion resources, NSFW in particular?

Most of the NSFW content is in dream fragments that you need to find. There are two dream fragments in the free build, and 3 bonus fragments in the patron build.

As for NSFW Stable Diffusion, your best bet is to run it on your own computer, but you’ll need a fairly decent GPU. People have gotten their Google accounts terminated for doing it on Google Colab, so I wouldn’t recommend that.

NovelAI has a model you can run on their site that can do NSFW in an anime style.

Two different really interesting visual styles.

I'm hoping to run it on my own machine. I have a GTX 1080; not quite the beast it was when I bought it, but it's still a decent card.

Could care less if it is AI art. Not your fault no one else on here has done it. Wish more would do it if this is what the end result is. Love the music and the story too.

It's really more about the limitations of the medium, at this point. Haircuts and outfits tend to morph randomly from one shot to the next. Plus you can never get it to output the really obscene shit, such as hand-holding.

'At this point'. Very important words.
Consider how fast this tech is evolving.
Yes, those 'handshakes' are wrong. Weirdly morphed. But... you still immediately recognize what they're supposed to be.
I find it astoundingly impressive. A very new and highly complex tech is already 'in the ballpark'.

In my lifetime... No such thing as a 'desktop' computer.
Then there was. But the closest thing to a 'picture' was ascii art that a person would need to painstakingly create.
Now... 'Computer, please generate for me a photo-realistic image'.....
Mind blown.

True to that. There will always be early adopters, those who wait-and-see, those who don't care, skeptics etc. Who 'wins' in the end, only time will tell. However, this tech (or any other tech) will benefit, develops and improves at higher (or faster) 'speed' when there are more than sufficient early adopters and interests, or it will 'die' out when there is no adopters; only to be revived much later (when the time is right) or simply forgotten altogether (especially when there is an alternative technology that performs better).

Nice art.

cool

How are things coming Rue? I itch for more!

Hey dev, I found a vid recently, figured maybe it could be useful to look into.
Using AI to make 2D animation, might be useful in the future for your game.
I dont know how exactly they make the animated sequences, as I haven't looked into it, but I figured you might be interested.
I'm assuming they used source videos and replicated that with an AI character, but not too sure.

Feel free to check it out if you're interested.

Nice.
But not being able to save whenever I want makes it , to me, unplayable.
How many times should I go through the same stuff, just because I'm a bit bored?

I wrote all the music myself, so that's lovely to hear. Thank you for your support here and on Patreon. I really appreciate it. I hope to get some new content to you next week.

Speaking of which, here's a teaser of some of the new stuff that will be in the next release:

You should be able to save and load the game. Are you running the latest build from Patreon?

If you're playing the version that got torrented here recently, I think it's out of date.

My only suggestion would be to lower the black part of the UI's opacity just a tinnny bit, seems kinda overpowering over the rest of the game style, to just have a big black box whenever u click on stuff. Either that or a stylized UI.

Just a suggestion tho, no need to follow it if u dont want to.

 

[JoeBlack132]

does the developer plan to include anal sex in the game?

I take a lot of my ideas from this community, so I’ll add that to my list of things to try to include. Thanks for the suggestion.

For example, the comment before you requested some UI tweaks that will be in the next release.
