I can see your point here, the concept I'm going for is that I want smaller repeatable scenes which increase stats, these stats can then trigger bigger scenes and new smaller scenes which will enable you to get to the next bigger scene and so forth. The logic is just not very obvious right now as there are only a handful of big scenes.Maybe a temporary walkthrough as you mentioned earlier, or a hint-list as you go through the early stages of the game? Haven't tried it yet because: hidden triggers. Those need to be done very well and be clearly communicated to the player to work, otherwise they 're annoying at best (imho) if you ever find out there were there in the first place.
Sounds like a nice concept tho from what I can tell so far
Fingers crossed on coding and finances in the near future.

It's honestly a mess to try and keep all of it in my head right now so I have some work to do.
I currently have a walkthrough as a patreon reward. But I feel like a public wiki where I can add in the new scenes under each character and so forth, might be a better approach.
Coding is the part I enjoy the most, testing, not so much.
Lol, I can't stand coding, luckily enough I don't have to.Coding is the part I enjoy the most, testing, not so much.
Yepp, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do, keep it simple. This is pretty much the introduction to all the characters and so forth, so now I can branch a bit.Sounds good but be careful to not start too many fires at once
Stats driven open world dating sim sounds like a good diversion from the usual pure VN stuff RenPy is used for, also doesn't sound like it would be easy to implement. Just go on about your own pace and have a pay off for people spending their time on it (obviously adult scenes, 3-frame animations seem to be a good start from what I can tell). Taking the file size into account, that might be smt. for later updates. Come to think of it, animations can help with balloon boobs not looking that static as well.
As for the incest part I don't care personally, for language tho your English seems to be way beyond what most developers offer, so that 's a big plus from the get go.
Looks like I 'll have to give it a go in the upcoming days...

Happy coding then, and happy holidays
Not enough to hook people in early on since a lot is expected these days, but definitely the better way to go if you want it to succeed and aren't hard pressed for money. That you chose this approach anyhow earns you some kudos from people who read it, and you can laugh in the future when it becomes successful and people start calling you a money grabber ;o)
Mhm, from what I gathered it 's a very time consuming nightmare if you 're not ocd about it. I don't think anyone expects full blown animations in RenPy; a few frames make it so much better tho and it 'll stand out amongst those that don't have any. Still, much more important to finish a solid structure for the mechanics as you otherwise don't have a game but another VN. All in good time...
Oh, I don't hate incest content, I really don't mind one way or the other. At the end of the day attractive models are attractive and if the dialogue is fun there 's no reason to skip it. I think... Dreaming Of Dana? didn't handle it badly, but I played a pretty early build so I can't say how that turned out in the long run. Knock yourself out, especially if you have a good story in mind
Thanks
i dunno, but damn i obviously am, i only saw by looking thru pics that you get to bang helen and something about anal fisting jenny or jenna the one that works at the store i think.
All scenes which have renders can be played. But some have gating which can cause the player to miss them.
I had the same thought when I first tried it but got used to it pretty quickly. But I'll keep it in mind!
There is no content associated with programming right now and the reason you're stuck is becuase I had to fix a bug that gave you the ability to level it up past 100 even if you are above it.
We'll see how it goes. If it works it works, if it doesnt it doesn't, but I'm glad people are mostly positive.Not enough to hook people in early on since a lot is expected these days, but definitely the better way to go if you want it to succeed and aren't hard pressed for money.

Btw, there are ways to circumvent the patreon-problem (can't think of it from the top of my head) but you probably already know or someone here can easily point you towards it. The 'step'-stuff won't cut it I'm afraid *smirk*.
Thanks
I 'll give it a shot soon, as for ideas and suggestions the posts in here should keep you busy enough as it is for a while
You loose energy when you change locations. Which is intended but not really tuned all that well.
