VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.20.1 S2 Ch.8] [Tropecita Games]

[Acsuka]

Do you have any idea how many additional renders that'd mean?

Hi dude, I asked a simple question that might be of interest to other players... But most importantly: I didn't ask you...
Have a nice day...

 

[TonyMurray]

It's not as if Acsuka was asking for creative control of the game or anything, just to know if there would be any way of influencing who is involved in such upcoming scenes, maybe through a poll or similar function. I'm pretty confident that Trope95 isn't going to create a bunch of interchangeable scenes just to appease individual fans, but if there is a scene that could easily involve a couple of different pairings, maybe he would be up for finding out what people would prefer to see, that sort of thing.

I too asked a simple question. I did ask you and you've not answered... But think about it, even if it's just one render for every possible combination of girls that's going to be a lot of rendering time.

You are asking a question in an open forum. And it is not explicitly addressed. So you're asking everyone? Correct?

Imagine a raunchy threesome scene in one shot. Would you like it?

Morning Have a great weekend

I generally don't mind lesbian scenes. Moreover, these scenes in My Dorm are very aesthetic and tasteful. I'm also happy about the announcement of X-somes. This will add a lot of spice to the game. And if it bothers someone, that's his problem (IMO).

Some of the X-somes will have (optional) things not for everyone's tastes (like lesbian content), but that's why choices are there.
Thanks to the (newly implemented in 0.20) gallery, you will be able to replay them changing those choices.

Oh that's sound very interesting, I have so much scene in mind !

Which scenes, for example?

Please allow me to ask: Can we players choose the actors for the additional group scenes? Or will it automatically be your decision?

Until now, the threeway scenes (Eileen+Alexia, Daphne+Scarlett, Norah+Erika, and Martha+Emma) were needed for some story advancement (when in both girls' paths). I will continue doing that but, sometime down the road, I will have room for a "not needed" x-some. When the time arrives, I will do a Patreon/SS poll about it giving 3-4 options. When will it be? I don't know, but I guess it will be in Act III (once the MC returns from Aruba)

That's how I took it.

It's been a long time since my college stats class so I asked google and it says there are 190 possible combinations of 2 taken out of 20 possibilities (my guesstimate of the # of possible LIs) so your "one shot" is 190 renders - assuming google isn't counting a & b separate from b & a...

Thank you for your answer... I'm sorry if others saw this as a discussion topic... And yes, that's exactly what I thought, as you wrote: a possible vote... More good work for you...

A post I wrote some time ago (reading it, it was before Kate's choice about slimming down, although it was counted, but not named):

Nerdy combination numbers:
Some time ago I did some calculations and I got to the conclusion that the epilogue (or a possible X-some there) would have 268,435,456 possible combinations (I won't render every one of them) taking into account if the MC is in a relationship with a girl or not.
A big number, right?
The calculation was wrong since there are more variables to take into account:
If the girl is pregnant or not (visible pregnancy).
There is a lady who can't get pregnant.
For two of the girls, there can be physical changes (Samantha's Black Panther vs. Sphinx Cat, for example)
There are 9 ladies (in groups of 3, 2, 2, and 2) who can't be in the same X-some (Blame Patreon)
That means that, having all these variables into account, a possible X-some at the end of the game would have 21,792,406,506,250 possibilities.
And the epilogue will have 80,335,512,599,040 different outcomes.
And I thought my first numbers were big!!!

I also calculated the number of combinations. I just wanted to know whether such a single render scene makes sense at all.

80 fucking Trillions different Outcomes?!

Are you larping as Todd now?

And people will still complain if you can't get all those 80,335,512,599,040 endings out within a few months.

It doesn't. No one would be happy with a single-render scene with Samantha+Martha+Norah+Kiara. Not the players and not me.

Hey, I tagged the game as multiple endings, right?

Are you larping as Todd now?

Nope, those numbers are real (according to ChatGPT, since my statistic lessons are more than three decades away)

And people will still complain if you can't get all those 80,335,512,599,040 endings out within a few months.

I built a modular epilogue system so it's not a fucking madness to do it. I think it will be doable with the code equivalent to two full updates.

Assuming I'm on the right page here, how does that work with a couple of the scenes we've already had? Have you had to go back and make amendments to those or anything?

I can't remember everyone's "official" relationship to each other, but I'm now doubting myself anyway, because I'm getting more than those four combinations to make 9 ladies, too.

I do suspect, however, that my dreams in this respect have been killed off!

 

[xapican]

Shit, I've got to report to the Staff, the notifications when these dingbats write dumbfuck, don't show
e6mill and Acsuka ; nice to see that you both started being friends .......

I have a very peaceful nature and I don't like to hold grudges with anyone... Have a nice weekend everyone...

Martha/Emma and Norah/Erika aren't related in the unpatched version, so I don't need to touch those scenes.
The only girls that won't be in the same X-some are:
* Norah-Meemaw-Betty: Daughter/Niece-Mother/Sister-Aunt/Sister
* Samantha-Simone: Mother-Daughter
* Debbie-Lisa: Sisters
* Kiara-Eileen: Mother-Daughter
* Saira-Kalyani (one student in the last batch): Cousins. This one is not counted in the stats, since cousins' relationships are legal in a lot of states (California included), but I won't do a (usual) X-some with them just in case Patreon gets picky.

 

[JeJuice]

Which scenes, for example?

Oh you know I imagine a lot but with the last update we can have a lot of possibilities like MC/martha/kim or MC/norah/kate, man with all these girl I have a lot in mind !

Ah that was it, I thought there might be something like that with Martha's/Norah's sides of it, but I couldn't remember. What about Daphne/Erika are they still sisters?
