Ren'Py Completed Long Live the Princess [v1.0.1] [Belle]

[Belle]

One of the interesting and kind of fun things about working on a project like this for three consecutive years is the ability to track my progress as a developer. This is especially true for Daz Studio, a tool that I have become much, much better at since I started. Going back and reworking older scenes makes me shake my head from the mistakes I made back then, but it also makes me excited to polish things up to the level I'm at right now.

This is also why I'm going back and fixing up so many of the older scenes these days. Some of them are atrociously bad, but even the ones that aren't (such as Belle's first scene) are so outdated in style that they barely feel like the same game as the rest of the scenes.

I'm hoping to give Primrose's old scenes some love in this update. In fact, I might even expand some of them with more animations than they used to have. Part of the reason I can do this is the aforementioned progress. Having learned more about how to properly light scenes in Daz Studio means that renders that used to take 1-2 hours can now be cut down to less than 20 minutes, and that expands my animation options considerably.

A year or so after you've finished the entire game, you probably look at it once more and shake your head how you could have done things so much better. Maybe you even go back and touch it up entirely like Nottravis is currently doing. But no matter what, this is still a great game. I didn't really notice or care that some of the scenes at the beginning weren't as fabulous. And it's just great that you keep improving, but even if you don't, the project you have started here is already one of the best out there. So don't get too disheartened by looking back and thinking how much better it all could have been.

Played this a year ago, sad that you still can't rape anyone in their sleep yet...

Also, would be fun if you could get primrose dad to fuck her or your uncle to fuck evelyn.

This is NOT an NTR game. Nobody fucks people in a relationship with the MC.

Yeah, it's got the NTR tag, but it's not really NTR - a future love interest can make time with someone before you start "dating" her.

Messing with classic Belle?

More.

 

[gobbet]

Less?

 

[RustyV]

It can be an either or.

Evelyn/uncle was something I was hoping for, considering

and I was expected Primrose & her father. Maybe anal, so that he doesn't take her virginity.

I'd rather have more scenes and more story, imo. Once's the game is 'done', you'll probably have better and more skills, so going back to revamp the scenes at that time prevents you having to double work.
But that's my opinion.

Updating old scenes is much, much easier than creating new ones. It's worth it too. As things are right now, the first scenes players are likely to come across are the worst ones, and that's not a good way to hook someone's interest.

Creating a game like this is stressful. Updating old scenes is not. It's a way for me to relax while being productive at the same time.

Fair enough, rather slow updates than no updates obviously.
Don't burn yourself out, watch your health.

The faster Belle gets out updates the faster LLTP is over.
I'd prefer higher quality over speed any day.

Having gone back and starting over from the beginning, I can say this game has both quality AND QUANTITY...MUCH QUANTITY!!! Right now I notice that we've gone almost 60 days story time to get to the end game point where the Princess will actually be seen. . . THAT is a lot of writing, coding and story...and playing! I'm wondering when Belle gets it done and puts the time element into it, will we get extra points for finishing it in less than 6 weeks ?? I guess this is my way of giving Belle a backhanded compliment for such a monumental effort. I find - no-found the art in the first part was not so 'off-putting' as to prevent me from wanting to proceed and know / do more. So once again, the DEV is his own worse critic. All HAIL BELLE!

 

[Belle]

It's indeed very easy to underestimate the sheer size of a project like this. The most current version of the game (the one I'm working on right now) contains 266,499 words of text, according to the tools I use. For comparison, that's just 30,000 fewer words than George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones". It is more than three times the length of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

And the game is still unfinished.

But first,

Why do you type like this?

What difference does it make? I like this color. But tell you what man just for you Ok is this better??

 

[Blayo]

It just makes you look like a fool, looking for attention, coloring your text this way. Not to mention it is very annoying to read posts that look like yours, for the majority of people here, I presume.

 

[Deleted member 252808]

Not my problem man. I'll type any way the fuck i like. As for the color i like to type in, if it was not men't to be used then it wouldn't be on this site now would it huh?? You made your point, point taken on board. And annoying for the people here you say, yet your the only one complaining about it....

 

[PostDrip]

And annoying for the people here you say, yet your the only one complaining about it....

Why repeat what has already been said? Also, it's "you're"....

 

[cxx]

colors should be used to point out important things not to annoy other posters.

First time playing this game and I have really enjoyed it! One thing in particular I enjoy is the way the MC's powers are used to manipulate people in this game. I know it is a stupid thing to fixate on because this game, and many games on this site, feature many morally reprehensible actions, like molestation, but I like the premise of getting what we ultimately desire by removing their shame/inhibitions and having them be open to experimentation rather than pretty much raping their minds and turning them into thralls that do whatever we desire.
