Ren'Py Meridia [v0.1.1] [ScriptVeil Games]

[kyloy]

Nobody knows who and how makes ratings on this site...
For now this game is empty.
Completely nothing.
Art is good (average 2025 quality, but thank God no anime or HoneySelect... oh, well, in 2025 year of our Lord we still must fall on our knees and thank the Creator that he not makes his game on HoneySelect), but there is nothing to say more. No gameplay (pure kinetic), no significant cast, plot, or someth.
Well, good luck with future updates.
Some plot and valuable characters will be highly appreciated.

You don't understand: giving high reviews to a just released incomplete game is like investing early to a startup! The developer now needs to meet expectations, and if they do not, the market will correct.

Good afternoon, Meridians!

I hope you all had a productive, care-free type of weekend. It’s Sunday, which means it’s time to stress about tomorrow and the number of conference calls people can jam into one day! Kidding. Unfortunately, not… but I digress. In all seriousness, it's time for our weekly update and a look at the progress being made toward 0.2.0.

Let’s talk environments
I won’t lie, last week was pure chaos. Actual, unfiltered madness at the office. The end of the year always hits hard with annual reviews, new AOP targets for 2026, the looming RTO mandates, and a whole pile of corporate... nonsense that stacks up faster than the pings on Microsoft Teams. Luckily, once the laptop finally shut each night, I managed to take some time to start building out a few of the environments you’ll come across in the next update.

This includes:

• Green’s Coffee
• Talonwright Supplies
• Crescent Touch (Come on, you didn’t think we wouldn’t have a campus massage parlor, did you?)
• C.R.E.A.M. (Gym)
• Lecture Hall
• Campus Grounds (i.e., Courtyard, Rowan Square and Curriculum Corner)
• Esoteric Parapsychology classroom
• Fine Arts classroom
• Rachel’s Apartment

I wanted each classroom to feel unique, like it actually had a personal touch from the professor and reflected the subject itself. For example, Esoteric Parapsychology is a field at MHU that studies paranormal or “psychic” phenomena, mental abilities, and magical elements. I’ve added relics, books, candles, and other oddities to really sell the idea of diving into the unknown. To capture that feeling of stepping into a space where more exists than meets the eye.

For Fine Arts, the classroom features a raised platform surrounded by easels so students can accurately capture the beauty of the object or person () on display. I’m sure you can imagine where this might lead when a model is placed in the center of a group of inspired students. Sight is often the artist’s best tool, but the aspect of touch can add a whole new dimension.

What’s life without Radiance?
I also had the opportunity to render some new pics for Radiance, including two uploads for the “sexy” category and some fresh pics for Rachel and Cora. You’ll also see new profiles appearing on your feed, such as Bryce, Jayden, and Maya over the course of 0.2.0.

I’m still fine-tuning the core aspects of Radiance, like the frequency of the MC’s uploads and connecting sponsorships to the quest journal system. The current Radiance system uses a seven-day cycle where, at the end of each cycle, a picture is posted based on the category with the most uploads (cute, sexy, and lewd). The goal was to keep the feed feeling fresh and avoid repeating the same image every time. The problem is that seven days is a long stretch. I’m considering shortening the cycle to three or four days while ensuring there are enough photos queued in each category to keep things varied.

As for sponsorships, I want them to actually matter. I don’t want them to be a simple click, upload, claim-rewards loop. Maybe a sponsor challenges you to take a pic in public, or on the local bus that travels between MHU and the heart of town. Maybe they send clothing they want you to model. The options are endless, and while everything may start from your phone, I want these sponsorships to spill out into the world of Meridian Heights to create unique scenes and choices.

What’s next
Next week, I’ll be diving deeper into the script to flesh out the scenes and keep everything on track. I’ll also be posting a handful of preview renders from the upcoming environments for the Dusklight Prospects tier and above on Wednesday.

As always, thank you for the support and for taking the time to play and invest yourself into the world of Meridia. I’m genuinely enjoying creating the story, building the world, and stepping into the shoes of the crazy characters wandering around this magical little world.

Take care. Love you all! ❤

Good afternoon, Meridians!

I hope you all had a spectacular weekend. Whether you indulged in some much-needed self-care-related goon sessions, fought off the holiday madness while grabbing last-minute Christmas gifts, or stayed inside like a hermit glued to a monitor (no self-reporting here, absolutely not…), I hope you found a little time to unwind, relax, and get caught up on your backlog.

The holidays are creeping up fast, and this is usually the time of year when work gets pushed aside for some much-needed rest and recovery. So yeah, I know what you’re probably thinking… what does this mean for Meridia?

Holiday Schedule Update
Good news on that front. Next week is my last working week of the month in terms of the day job, and then I’ll be off until January 5th, 2026. That gives me a solid chunk of time to focus on Meridia and continue pushing forward on 0.2.0. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are the only exceptions. Look, I’ve got to make time to party, get fat and sassy, and then immediately draft a Coach Moorehead-approved plan to lose the 20 pounds I gain over the holidays.

In short, development isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s getting a boost during the holiday break.

️ Preview Renders Recap
If you missed it, supporters on the Dusklight Prospect tier and above received an early look at several upcoming environments you’ll encounter in Meridia, along with some insight into the design ideas behind them. I also included a Fine Arts render featuring our MC. Don’t worry, she’s not that scandalous… yet.

The environments shown included:

• General Studies classroom
• Fine Arts classroom
• Esoteric Parapsychology classroom
• C.R.E.A.M. (MHU’s campus gym)

Over the coming weeks, keep an eye out for Part 2, where I’ll be showcasing:

• Kinesiology classroom
• Talonwright Supplies
• Green’s Coffee
• Crescent's Touch

Here's a quick sneak peek at the classroom for Kinesiology.



✍ Development Progress
Development is moving along nicely. I’m hovering around 20% completion on the script, with several scenes fully written and already entering the rendering phase. The days are mapped out, the major scene beats are planned, and the overall 3-day structure for 0.2.0 is locked in.

I also just crossed the 100 render milestone for 0.2.0, so things are moving at a solid pace. Still a long road ahead, but it’s all coming together piece by piece. The plan is to finish the main story content first, then shift focus to the side systems and extras like new Radiance content, ProbePal updates, additional environment interactions, new free roam areas, new text messages, wallpapers for the phone and laptop, and the introduction of River Vision Studios.

☕ Meet Nancy Miller
For this devlog, I wanted to introduce you to one of the kindest souls at MHU: Nancy Miller. I briefly mentioned her back in Devlog #8, but she deserves a proper introduction.

I've heard the voices. I get it, you thought there was no room for wholesome moments after that homemade welcome gift that Chet bestowed upon you, but that's where you're misguided, and Nancy is here to show you the error of your ways.



The pulse. The heartbeat. The quiet warmth of MHU.

Nancy Miller is the owner and heart behind Green’s Coffee, the campus café tucked into the front lobby of MHU. Nancy and her husband, Kent, were both former MHU students. Like a lot of couples fresh out of college, they dreamed big, worked hard, and saved every spare dollar they could. Eventually, they scraped together enough to purchase a Green’s Coffee franchise, and opening it on campus felt like coming home.

For Nancy, it was never just about selling coffee. She wanted a place where students could feel safe, where every pastry was baked with love and every cup brewed with intention. No burnt beans included.



After Kent passed away, Green’s Coffee became more than just a business. Nancy poured herself into it completely. Every early-morning bake, every pot of coffee, every smile across the counter became her way of keeping his love alive and sharing a piece of him with everyone who walked through the door.

Green’s Coffee is a place where students and faculty can slow down, feel safe, feel connected, and get caught up on work. And when someone needs comfort, Nancy always seems to know exactly what to offer.

What’s Next
Next week, I’ll be posting a few polls to get your input on upcoming ideas. For example, C.R.E.A.M. needs someone manning the front desk. Should it be a man or a woman? Older or younger? Creepy, bossy, or a classic simp?

While the main story is already mapped out, I’m always open to community ideas for side characters and events. These polls will be available to Dusklight Prospect tier and above, and they’re meant to give you a voice in shaping the world of Meridia. I’m genuinely curious to see who ends up greeting you the first time you step into C.R.E.A.M.

As always, thank you for the continued support and for spending your time in the world of Meridia. I’m excited for what’s coming next and can’t wait to share more as 0.2.0 continues to take shape.

Take care, Meridians. ❤

 

[AJveganese]

can't wait! this is my new favorite game and I'm hyped up to the max already.

 

[VillainousNecktie]

Really looking forward to this games future and every update! Writing is solid, well crafted backgrounds, love the smaller details like looking at the phone, going to your contacts and being able to read back Ellies previous conversations she's had with all her contacts! Social media accounts reflecting certain aspects of the characters. Being able to pick the different choices has been quite fun ( just hope you don't dig yourself into a grave since -more choices- = more problems for dev work in the future since most branches can end up leading to too many outcomes to keep tabs on! ) and very welcome! Models look great too, and look forward to more outfits!

Wishing you good fortune on your project and definitely loved this first release! Could be a serious contender to become a fantastic game!

 

[Midnight Games]

This game reminds me of being a dik.

 

[Cozume]

Played through the content and really enjoyed it. I hope the 'pure' route leans more into things like the pantsing scene - that was a pretty great setup when you're playing the MC as a bit more shy and reserved!

Good evening, Meridians!

I hope you all had a peaceful weekend free of holiday-related stress. I’m officially free from the golden handcuffs of corporate America for the next couple of weeks, which feels incredible. I did, unfortunately, learn that I have two separate week-long business trips coming up in Q1 2026, but that is very much a problem reserved for 2026.

This will be the final devlog of the year. I’ll be skipping next weekend so I can fully take advantage of this time off and shift my focus entirely toward 0.2.0.

This past week was mostly meetings on the day-job side, but in between all that, I managed to create some holiday-themed renders. There are two more on the way, and the next one will feature Freya.

Even the girl of mystery can’t hide from Santa and his elf forever.

The Elder C.R.E.A.M?



Last week, I launched a

You must be registered to see the links

asking supporters who should be the face of C.R.E.A.M. Who’s manning the desk? Who’s spotting you while you chase a new PR? Who’s helping you stretch muscles you didn’t even know existed?

As things stand, it looks like we’re leaning toward an elderly gentleman guiding us on our fitness journey.



The poll will be ending Tuesday night (12/23), so make sure you get your vote in if you haven’t already. It’s a close race, and your choice will directly shape who's mentoring you during those grueling, sweaty gym sessions.

Meet Yasunari Muramura
In Devlog #10, you met Nancy Miller, the heart of MHU. Now it’s time to meet the soul.

Directly across the lobby from Green’s Coffee sits Crescent Touch. If Green’s Coffee is the heart of MHU, then Crescent Touch is its peace. The number one rated massage parlor in all of Meridian Heights, Crescent Touch is owned and operated by Yasunari Muramura, or simply Yasu.

• C.R.E.A.M. leave you with a knot? Rub one out at Crescent Touch.
• Looking for deep relaxation after a long day? Get relieved by Crescent Touch.
• Need a stable job while attending MHU? Crescent Touch will leave you touching talons.

Yasu is a simple man at heart. He believes deeply in peace, tranquility, and harmony of the body. Some students claim he’s too touchy, but Yasu would argue that balance cannot be achieved without touch. He expects nothing but excellence, and every massage is treated as a personal work of art. He won’t let prudeness, nerves, or hesitation negate the effects of a true Yasu special.

From deep body work to intimate nuru massages, Yasu ensures that you leave relaxed, centered, and ready to take on whatever the day throws at you.

Crescent Touch isn’t just a service. It’s an eyes-in-the-back-of-your-head kind of experience.

What’s Next
As mentioned earlier, the C.R.E.A.M. poll will be closing Tuesday night, so make sure you get your vote in. That choice will determine who runs the gym during your time there. On Wednesday, I’ll be launching another poll to determine personality and build. Muscular, lean, thick, or something else entirely. You’ll help decide.

On the development side, I’ve started using Render Queue, which has been a huge quality-of-life improvement. I can pose scenes at night, let them render during the day, and focus on writing and coding while everything runs in the background. Writing is always fluid. You might start with a rough idea, but once the renders come in, new ideas pop up and scenes naturally evolve. This workflow should help speed things up while keeping the writing flexible.

As always, thank you for the continued support and for spending your time in the world of Meridia. I’m having a lot of fun with these characters, and I think you’ll really feel that once 0.2.0 lands. While Meridia often leans into humor, the story has plenty of emotional moments ahead, and not everyone you meet is guaranteed to make it through to the end.

Take care, Meridians. I hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ❤

Just started the novel and already like it. With the choice possibility on will power for the female MC, the creator will allow paths, which I really appreciate. Seems there is the possibility to have in ones own version of the novel the female MC as a strong, beautiful young lady, not getting pushed by the guys. I like it already

We made it through one hell of a year!

Every new year brings a fresh set of possibilities, opportunities, and goals. It’s a chance for new beginnings, renewed confidence, and a sharper focus on bettering ourselves, both personally and professionally.

For me, 2025 was the year Meridia finally came to life. Launching the game was something I’d wanted to do for a long time, especially as someone who’s always loved the AVN space. There are so many talented storytellers, artists, coders, and creators in this community, and carving out even a super tiny space here has been a genuine honor. I honestly expected maybe one or two people to pick it up and give it a try. Instead, I found a group of players who took the time to explore, engage, and invest themselves in this crazy new world. I can’t thank you enough for that.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’ve got some big plans for Meridia. I’m excited to continue building the story and expanding the lore, shaping Meridian Heights into a living world filled with temptation, meaningful choices, and paths you won’t see coming. I can’t wait to get the next update into your hands and see how you guide our young female protagonist through what lies ahead.

Quick Update on C.R.E.A.M.
I’ll be launching a new poll for paid supporters tomorrow to decide who ends up manning the front desk at C.R.E.A.M. I’ve put together three possible options, and I’m genuinely curious to see which direction the community chooses.

Thank you all so much for the continued support. I hope each and every one of you has an amazing 2026, filled with good health, good vibes, and plenty of time to enjoy the things you love.

Here’s to another year in Meridia. ❤

Is this animated?
It's missing "animated" tag, but it's 3d. Don't tell me it's static images?

There are no animations for now. Besides, this is the first version and the introduction to the game, so there isn't much H-content available just yet.

PS. The “animations” you're speaking of are also created with a set of static images, but they're played smoothly, giving the illusion of motion, that's all.

Yeah whatever. Simple answer yes or no was all I needed.

Good evening, Meridians!

I hope you all had an amazing holiday break. Between two Christmas Eve parties, three Christmas parties, two New Year’s Eve parties, and far too many days spent helping people assemble, move, or lift the gifts they got, I am officially wiped out. Introvert mode has been engaged at maximum capacity, and I’ve basically told friends and family that I’ll see them again in a couple of weeks.

Hopefully, everyone is feeling refreshed and ready to kick off 2026 with bigger plans and better choices.

Over the break, I finally installed an 8TB SSD and migrated all of my content, saves, and project files over without any big issues (knock on wood). Let me tell you, the cheeks were clenched with the same intensity I feel when transferring crypto between wallets. But we made it! I’m officially free from the bottleneck that was my old 1TB drive, and development is already feeling smoother because of it. Plus, it’s nice to finally have room to download more assets without deleting existing content to make room for it.

On the development side, I’ve completed the campus interiors needed for 0.2.0. This includes the main lobby, left and right wings, classrooms, shops, and a handful of miscellaneous rooms you’ll be exploring. A lot of time went into this, but I wanted Meridian Heights to feel like a real, lived-in space instead of a collection of pre-fab assets with characters dropped into a scene.

I’m currently sitting around 220 renders for 0.2.0, and I expect that pace to pick up significantly now that the environments are fully built out.

River Visions Studio
If you spotted the flyer on the bulletin board in House Avianora, River Visions Studio is officially on the hunt for fresh talent .



River Visions Studio is a startup portfolio and modeling studio based in Meridian Heights, owned and operated by River Styles. He has the passion, the drive, and the technical skill to break into the industry and make a name for himself. What he doesn’t have is momentum or a star to propel him. That’s where you come in.

River has poured every dollar he has into this venture. Your looks, your willingness to experiment, your comfort with risky partners, controversial subjects, and unconventional opportunities will ultimately determine whether River Visions Studio becomes a success… or just another failed startup buried under what could have been.

C.R.E.A.M | The Retired Showman?



As of now, Option C: The Retired Showman is leading the

to become the face of C.R.E.A.M. There are still five days left, and it’s a close race. If you haven’t voted yet, now’s the time.

So, who exactly is Option C?

A retired boxer with an old-school mentality, an inviting personality, and a habit of showing off his favorite trainees like trophies. He loves attention almost as much as he loves watching you sweat under it.

He pushes his mentees hard, especially young women he finds attractive, and makes no effort to hide his favoritism. He’ll brag about your progress to friends, invite them to watch sessions, and even encourage them to participate in hands-on training. He enjoys placing you front and center while offering his own personalized encouragement. Everything is framed as mentorship, but the way his hands guide you tells a very different story.

In closing...
Thank you all again for the continued support, the feedback, and the enthusiasm you bring to this project. I’m genuinely excited about where Meridia is heading, and I can’t wait to show you what 0.2.0 has in store.

Here’s to an amazing 2026 and everything we'll build together. ❤

 

[DazBlenderGuy]

Love this game!
Gorgeous FMC and a fun little humorous story too!
A true classic.
