Ren'Py Lust Academy [S4 v4.1.1d] [Bear in the Night]

[QuantumDice]

Lust Academy [Bear in the Night] - Compressed vp8

Reason behind this crunched version:

Since I'm on a laptop without vp9 hadware acceleration, I've had performance issues with the videos on this game, so I decided to make a crunched version that uses vp8 encoding, and share it for anyone else having the same issues.
Focus is on maintaining video, image and audio quality, while improving performance on weaker hardware.

Games and versions included:

• Lust Academy - Season 1
• Lust Academy - Season 2 + CordalePack
• Lust Academy - Season 3 - v3.1.1b

Crunch features:

• Video:
  • Codec changed from vp9 to vp8
  • Framerate reduced from 60fps to 30 fps
  • Quality: crf 26
• Image:
  • Untouched
• Audio:
  • Untouched

Could someone share with me a save file for this new season? I've played former seasons but lost the file, and now I am stuck

 

[Nemo56]

that doesn't seem like a conflicting statement?

No, not really. Relationship status has nothing to do with the frame number where the player left off in season 2.

 

[Spider-Venom]

Luckily we don't have to rely on assumptions but can read the description, even if it's not completely accurate,

if the description isn't accurate--all you can do is assume.

 

[Nemo56]

all you can do is assume

If you take a sentence out of it's context, alls kinds of interpreations are possible. How do you know that all I can do is assume?


But again: the relationship status is the one inaccurate factor in the description and that's not even a fact because I (me, as a person) am not aware of the relationship status haviong any effect. I could be wrong. The rest of the description is accurate.

 

[Spider-Venom]

If you take a sentence out of it's context, alls kinds of conclusions are possible.

what context? you, you self said it wasn't accurate. inaccurate information is the fault of the one who provided the inaccurate information... and, any consequences that may result.

 

[Nemo56]

what context?

1. the topic was about where the savegame transferred from S2 to S3 takes off.
2. the inaccuracy was about the relationship status being mentioned
3. I said it's inaccurate based on my personal experience. I quite clearly stated that "I am aware of" (and you conveniently removed that part of my post). Of course I could be wrong.
4. relationship status has nothing to do with the assumption made about point 1.
That context

You can make assumptions about the relationship status as often as you like, that still has nothing to do with the question at which point in the story the transferred savegame will load.

all I wanted was to began were I left off and free some space on my hard drive. usually, starting where the same was is what a transfer usually means.

Can you make an example in which VN (or sandbox game) this is the case? I don't know any.

In fact this is the only VN/Sandbox game I know that actually offers such a functionality and only because the seasons are completely separated games. For games that just put a different label on them, when they claim that it's a different season, no "transfer savegame" functionality is needed.


ps: The easiest way to save space is to first play and finish season 2, then transfer the savegeme, delete season 2 from your hard drive, then download/install/play season 3.

not off the top of my head but it is what comes to mind.

 

[cmsiq22000]

So using unren.py, which version of lust academy do I download to see Haley banging scene with dragon in the background?

 

[KenjiQwerty]

if i download Season 3 will S1 and S2 be included? or only S3?

 

[Ahchi]

if i download Season 3 will S1 and S2 be included? or only S3?

only S3,
All seasons can be played as a "Stand-alone", But I would highly recommend playing through all seasons in turn.

 

[Nemo56]

Haley banging scene with dragon in the background?

That's a scene from S2 I think.

 

[watchinglolis]

Can't transfer save info to chapter 3 if the game borks it on to load a game and can't remember where you left off.

 

[Nemo56]

Can't transfer save info to chapter 3 if the game borks it on to load a game and can't remember where you left off.

It does not remember whrere you left off, but it remembers your inventory and your stats. We just had this discussion, read up.
And to transfer a savegame, use the function available in S2 v 1.11.1d, downloadable from this site.

 

[LexArma]

To make it clear, it is impossible to continue from where you left off, IF where you left off wasn't actually at the end of the season. The transfer is supposed to happen ONLY when you have already reached the end of the previous season.
Then you you CAN actually continue where you left off, right at the the beginning of the next season.

It carries over stats and items, so you lose nothing in between, because there IS nothing in between.

 

[Username78945]

Maybe the confusion comes from the ending, where you have to "choose" which person to say goodbye, implying some sort of bifurcation (say like in Being a Dik if I remeber correctly), but truth to the matter, like explained before, it only carries out your inventory, money and the girls completion level.

The videos use a lot of CPU on decode/playback. Free up more CPU by closing your browser in particular plus anything else that's eating up cycles. Of course if your CPU is shitty enough, like mine, that won't be enough.

For Season 3 (Ren'Py 8.1.1)

You can try a custom built ffmpeg MMX enabled Ren'Py lib/ for either Linux or Windows. Caveat is I built it without any of the SDKs. YMMV.

You likely can just copy the lib folder overwriting the files and skip renaming.

Just tried this and it helps a LOT. If you guys have older machines you should probably use this. During the sex scenes with olivia and evelyn in this release, my cpu jumped to 60%. Now with this it doesn't get past 14%
