Oh shut up and stop being modest .

Get a room, both of you

For three!

Hahahaha, pretty much! Even though BCG uses the same animator I use for the animations, but I do agree tbh. Moonripple is just on another level entirely, but that's fine. it just shows there's still a lot of things I can do to improve!

Banana nailed it - it really does come down to personal preference. If I had to point to the main reason I lean toward ML, it's because I tend to prefer more "grounded" stories. A few pages back, I actually gave Banana a bit of critique for the first scene with Drago's mom - it felt more like something out of a porn story than erotica to me. Personally, I find that good writing can spark my imagination without needing much of a scene at all. Even something simple can work great - I realized that while playing Rhode's Fortress the other day (what a game! right up until that infamous scene...) That said, I get that not everyone values groundedness as much as I do - you can definitely see that in the reviews for a lot of games around here.

I hate idle animations. Not because they can't look good, but because most of the time they are badly optimized. If you need expensive gaming pc to play visual novel... that's quite sad. There are games which have extremely beautiful animations that run smooth like butter, and then there are games where even simple looking animations are choppy as hell. I felt like this update had a lot of animations and it just made me pray the whole time that there would be feature in future to opt out of them. This is just my experience, I may be one of the rare people dealing with this - I wouldn't know.

Other than that... this update had a lot of great stuff. From plot advancement to introduction of new characters/environment, to opening future prospects with jobs and whatnot, and of course stunning visuals and sound design. Cee's freckled butt was sculpted by God of Lust surely...

Chapter 5 didn't work for me, yours is not epic, not passionate and all that, as for me, Chapter 4 turned out much better than Chapter 5, but the game is so good that I'll play it

I want to tell you, when I played your 5th chapter, I really liked it, the best chapter of all the parts, you have a lot of epic and passions, everything was very good, it's just a pity when the main character's girl fell on all fours with her panties down with her pussy exposed, I would like to see at that moment how the black guy pounced on her hungry and wet pussy and started fucking her, and the main character started watching and also started fucking the girl who was being fucked by the black guy started jumping on ms I'm really looking forward to your 6th chapter to play it.

It's a preference thing, and there are of course people that would say the inverse of what he did.

Hey BananaCreamGames, just want to report that the Linux build of the latest update (0.5), and likely the Android build as well, has a severe memory leak. It occurs whenever an animation starts playing and stops once the scene the animation is playing ends. If multiple animations play at once, the leak compounds. This is especially noticeable in the Ferris-wheel scene with Anon and Cee, and the boat scene with Anon and Suzie. The issue does not appear in the Windows version. I tested that via

, and while the Windows build still uses a fair amount of RAM during animations, it doesn’t leak memory. If I were to take a guess, it seems the problems may be with Ren’Py itself or with whatever library/dependency is handling the animations.

Below is a video demonstrating the memory leak in the native Linux version, and one showing that the Windows build is unaffected. I also attached the logs for both versions. Let me know if I can provide any additional info for troubleshooting.

This was really hot update. More Cee and ginger girl scenes

 

[dordicle]

Why not voice the girls? Are you waiting for real VAs?

i think it'd be a bit distracting if the girls are voiced. silas sounds great but ai voices always have at least that 1% uncanny valley feeling. the girls are a big part, so there will be more lines and more chances for us to hear that uncanny voice

nah dude, soa is fire too. beach update was pretty goated

 

[lemaro]

Out of curiosity BananaCreamGames , do you plan on making updates with the early parts of the game (where the characters are "less" corrupted and therefore content was more around hot teasing) or would future updates be always on progressing the sexual acts?

I'm mostly curious if we'll get to see more lewd scenes outside of penetration xD

No wonder my phone started lagging during the ferris wheel scene.

I’m not as savvy as you with the reason why but I can say that on the boat scene and on the Ferris wheel the game just crashes. I’m playing the android version thst PT ports posted here. I have gotten through a few of them but it crashes 5 or 6 times. I’ve found if I hit skip right when the animation happens sooner or later I can get through but it’s extremely frustrating

To both of these posts, yep I posted on here and discord about these problems and BCG has already addressed this, so now we wait for his version of the android port so hopefully it'll be fixed for us Android users, I support BCG when I'm financially able to do so (sometimes not as much as I'd love to) and I know he will come through for us like he usually does.... patients my brothers of culture...

Also I wanna say thx to PT Ports for the try, I'm sure it wasn't easy to give it a go. But the port, because of the heavy image on image on images must not have let it work for us Android users sadly, but thank you for trying to help out.

I support him on patreon too. This game is one of my favorites and I don’t mind giving a few bucks to someone I think are doing a good job. Hopefully this gets fixed when the developer pushes out his android version. Ive download other games PT ports has done and never encountered this problem

True but maybe it was a fluke, we'll pray it's fixed and we can enjoy the action

Ok we got it you got the PC master Race club with your RTX4090 and 64GB of ram with a 1TB SSD

The sad state of unfinished games now with less bang for your buck is all because of people not complaining and buying those piece of shit games that are going to cost 80$ minimum and even got Nintendo to do it since why bother if the consumer going to buy it anyway.

Now LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING game optimization is the bread and butter of a great developer, if he can't fit the dam thing to work on a 4gb laptop that is running low specs it will bloat the game in the long run and eventually those bad habits to not find creative solutions to run at a stable 30 fps will only lead to make even the RTX 4060 to not work well. You got that, dev needs to suffer and optimize his game to reach a lot of people.

Now shove that RTX card where the sun don't shine and quit that lord attitude on other console peasants.

you said a lot and you said it beautifully man this is the point I always say good optimization is one of the main things for a game to be successful if it runs well on a cell phone or PC with 4 RAM it will be much more accessible for most people since games that require a lot of use from a cell phone or PC tend to lose support or be abandoned

Just give BCG some time to do the Android port. He didn't have time to do it before his trip.

 

[Rake Tyler]

I usually do scenes in 1440p at the least. People have complained a lot about game lag and I'll start doing 1080p eventually shouldn't impact fidelity much but greatly improve performance.

Shouldnt happen but you can start a new game set your name, then load up your old saves

Now I'm excited because I liked this game and I want to keep playing it.

 

[Rake Tyler]

I do understand what you're saying I wasn't trying to say you were wrong or anything. But I was just pointing out that BCG hasn't dropped his own android or Mac ports, which are usually great and don't mess up, so we'll just wait for those links




"Impoverished losers".....wow.....well Nick Herr born in 69 im assuming, you have your opinion, but can you not try and put others down when we're all trying to enjoy this game together? It doesn't matter what device someone is playing it on, we all have questions for the dev and BCG is nice enough to actually answer as much as he can (unlike other devs). And if something isn't working right shouldn't that person ask for help so they can enjoy the same quality game you're enjoying?....let's not try and feel entitled here ok?

I hope so because I liked the game and its supernatural and mysterious element.
