VN Ren'Py Abandoned Lust Campus [C3 Final] [RedLolly]

[GifMeMore1987]

I have been trying to play the new version on Mac. I downloaded the PC version and ran it through Renpy to make a mac version, but the new version hangs really early, when you get the first text from Sophie. You just pull out the phone, a phone display pops up but there is not content and nowhere to click that I can see. Does the PC version also have this problem or was this the conversion to mac that did it? Any ideas?

Works on PC. The only thing I noticed was that it takes longer for the text messages to pop up compared to normal dialogue (Ihave text speed on maximum); there's an animation of three moving dots before text shows (signalling Sophie is typing just like in a real messenger app). Maybe there's a different mechanic behind it that causes problems on Mac.

Have you played any other version (C5 or C1R) and did it work there?

I have been thinking about all that new old art debacle and it is not that the new art is bad, it is not. The style is different, but there is an equal level of professionalism present. Where it falls short is in the way the new characters look when compared to the previous version.
I do not think they are as attractive (aesthetically pleasing) anymore. The only ones that still look good are Marco and Lei (the Asian girl, I hope I have her name right)

Maybe the developer should have just started another completely different game. It feels bad to have so many chapters of story completed and then play the whole thing from start again.

It's a pitty if the artist left, because the art style was great. The new one just feels like a downgrade in comparison.

Well luckily there is other great games out there, I'm just not interested about replaying the old story over long period of time.

One more ex fan on the dislike train for the new art. I have been interested in this game for its storytelling, I really liked it. The new character designs made me drop it after a few scenes. I find them so repulsive, I just can't bring myself to be interested in what's happening. Even when one looks for story first, like I always do, visuals are paramount in a VN. So I'm gonna just drop this, because I now don't see any appeal to it. I wish those of you that do to enjoy it, and will go drown my pain in alcohol like a desperate husband for how beautiful my Sophie was and what she's become.

As someone who has been around since C2 of the old version, I'm actually starting to enjoy the new art more than the old one. The old art felt more airbrushed and flat, whereas the new one feels far more gritty and 'real', if you can even say that about any type of art that isn't drawn to be specifically 1:1 to real world stuff. Like the old art wasn't bad, but they didn't look as much like humans as they do now. Like the MC has freckles now, whereas her old sprite just felt too smooth to look human. All of the characters honestly look more alive now, when the old style just made them seem artificial. I don't know if my description makes sense to anyone else though.

Edit: As an example. The old art made everyone look like they were standing in front of a studio light at all times, but now they have proper shading which in and of itself adds a lot of dimension to their faces.

Just find starting the whole game from scratch again completely pointless and a waste of time. It would have been easier to stop the old version and call it say 'act 1' and have the new art and characters for 'act 2' onwards.

How does someone unlock said scene?...

 

[Meowmadam]

Is there a guide to unlock the scenes?

I have pleyed the C5 version and it was fine but not the revamp. I might have to wait for a mac version from the dev.

Javier probably had no problem drawing porn but maybe his wife discovered it

Dev would've had to pay the previous artist royalties if she kept his art in, it wasn't really viable to pay two artists at the same time.

I'm guessing you're using Renpy 8.0? I had the same issue. Download an earlier version, e.g. Renpy 7.4.11. It works with that one.

This new version of Sophie... she definitely looks underage, like 14-15 something. Even the MC looks barely 18. Knowing there's going to be sex with Sophie sooner or later they're asking for trouble on Patreon.

P.S - And yes, the new art is inferior, good example is that new gothic/punk character someone posted a few pages back.

I mean, the remake art isn't that bad. Just don't be so picky about it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Don't bash it because you don't like it though. Move on and find another game that has art that is to your liking.

I agree, I think it's fine, without the comparison I think most would have loved it, nonetheless I prefer the colour and design of the older one.

 

[Redgy]

I didn't think the new art was that bad until the new chapter came out. But some of the new CGs look kinda rough around the edges.

There's a box on the very top of the shelf over the bed that is hard to find.

As Gohan007 said, the developer would have to pay the old artist to keep using his art in the game. Not feasible for a indie developer with a low income on funds.

Tom is a spoiled rich brat. Cringe is a default status for those kind of people.
