VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.27.3 S3 Ch.7] [Tropecita Games]

[MarsUltor]

Now I feel old, late teens was Smoke On The Water, Money, Angie, Killing me softly

 

[wookie ookie]

Yeah, we may be old but, that was the best music ever! Heh... " Wake up Maggie. I think I got something to say to you. It's late September and I really should be back at school..."

Yup can't forget about Rod. I remember the first LP my uncle bought me was Black Sabbath Paranoid my Ma was so pissed said your not listening to that crap and kept it from me for a month

I was so into Sabbath when I was a teen. Still one of my all time favorite bands. I had a few t-shirts of theirs, my step-father always gave me grief about them. lol

I saw them at Ontario Speedway in Cali. One of those all day concerts. 300,000 people. The stage and 3 full sets of speaker racks at 100 yard intervals. You needed binoculars if you wanted to actually see anything on stage. Heh They were movin' so much air that the stage backdrop was blowing straight out over their heads. It rocked.

I caught OG Sabbath at Shoreline amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. Woo whee, that was a ride.

 

[FatGiant]

Maybe not my cup of tea, but then again I dropped become a rockstar and seven realms cause the story just wasn't for me I guess. Did finish melody though.

What i meant by quality is not just them being technically correct but having the quality that draws me in with its unique characteristics, be it distinct artistic style or just being impressive graphically like city of broken dreams, summer's gone. And something like summer heat is a big standout but then of course it takes them forever to release updates and the wait is neigh eternal to get to the good parts.

Atleast this game is not a mess that grandma's house is, I know that that game does get to sex parts quickly and the updates are fast but after playing it once, and while it got its job done, I didn't feel like coming back. Quantity over quality is the definition there, nothing memorable or impressive. I thought that this game was gonna be the same but with better looking characters and more semblance of the plot. But I guess that this is a story with porn. For me the story is on the bit too long and tedious to get through side, and personally the character's models and renders don't blow me away enough to keep on playing. But this of no fault of the small time dev. It would take a team and bigger effort to create something like that. I would and did purchase games like that though on steam. being a dik, treasure of nadia, city of broken dreams, fresh women. But it takes alot to create those games.

First and foremost, while mentioning and talking about other AVNs is forbidden by the forum rules, for the purpose of illustration I'll go along with it. Now...

What you mean by quality, is quite well known, and if you stick to the first 5 or 6 updates of My Dorm, it is indeed quite noticeable. It was a learning period, one that was inevitable. First was the posing that started to become more dynamic. the animations that slowly increased in quality and quantity, the lighting that took quite a long time to get controlled, and the renderings themselves that have been getting better.

Remember always the MAIN difference to those teams you mentioned is that this is a project with only one person. Yes, text post-production involves more people, but the brunt of the work, especially the creative part, is done only by one person.

You also have to have in mind that this isn't a million dollars budget game unlike several that you mentioned.

There's also, the problem that you are very focused on measuring what can't be measured, the ethereal concept of "Interest". I really, really, like this story. I would still defend it's merits even if the Dev hadn't improved from the first renders until now. Because the graphics part goes away VERY fast if you do involve yourself in the story, as I, and many others here, have.

So, your strenuous comparison of "dicks" between this game and some very BIG titles, is OK, but it's a bit r/whooosh. You are comparing gall stones to oranges (and not even on it's merits as projectiles), not even in the same category, much less the same type. All the while forgetting the main ingredient on all this, a "Story". This one is so good, that I would still follow it if the Dev decided to draw it on MS Paint by hand with a ball mouse that hadn't been cleaned in 10 years.

I know you can't understand. I know that you are still in the "bright lights" fascination phase. Go on, give it time. You'll grow, and your tastes will evolve.

Peace

I won't try to convince anyone to drink a cup of tea they don't want. Not even to defend the virtues of tea over coffee. For me, for example, there isn't any. I'm a coffee man and no one would convince me to taste tea once again. So I understand you.

You like some kinds of coffee and dislike others. But since I can't talk about AVNs (forum rules) I will talk about coffee brands from the premise that two coffee brands cannot be compared. I haven't tasted any of them, so I only can talk about what they "harvest", their "commercials" (looked at right now in 5 minutes), and what their customers told to me:

GrandCoffee House: 2 harvests per month. I've been told it's a fun coffee to get. Not the one who would win any "Coffee Nobels" but one that can be enjoyed thoroughly. Its CEO has one of the greatest work ethics I've known in the coffee world, harvesting 5,000+ beans and 630+ pictures of the beans every 15 days. Only one person works on the farm for all that I know.

Coffee Heat: 4 harvests in 24 months. The last one 5 months ago. 6,752 pictures of beans, but no register of how many beans. 2 people working on the farm.

City of People without Coffee: 61 months. 13 harvests. The last one 9 months ago. Their public publicity isn't complete, so I can't offer more data. Second farm, so they already have experience.

Someone's gone without paying for his Coffee: 58 months. 4 harvests. The last one 5 months ago. The dev has two farms working at the same time. Charges independently for every farm, even if he can't work at the same time on both. His publicity is a mess, so I won't use the calculator.

Disclaimer: I don't have shares of any of those farms. I didn't even talk about My Tea.

As you can see, you can't compare a farm that offers a harvest every 15 days with one that offers some product every 14.5 months. That was my starting point.
I'm sure (reducing it to the absurd) that I can do one update harvest with one render picture of a bean and one word bean, take five years to do it, and that render would be fantastic. The word... I'm not so sure.
Would I, as a player coffee consumer, wait 5 years for one update harvest with one render and one word? No. Would I pay monthly for it not getting anything in return? Neither.
Would I, as a dev tea producer, publish every 5 years or even 5 months? No. Even if that update was perfect.
Perhaps I'm wrong and their business model is better than GrandCoffee or mine. They have more patrons for sure, but I don't know how many I will have when I'm in my 58th or 61st month (I'm only on my 22nd month. Yes, I know, Coffee Heat has a similar time and doubles me in patrons, they also double me in workers)

Once again (and I respect your distaste for My Tea) coffee and tea, or even different brands, cannot be compared. Different workforce, experience, machinery, objectives, budget, or working hours. Or even taste or talent. Why I've separated taste and talent? Because besides the other, they are subjective.

I'm happy you tried My Tea, even if the taste wasn't for you. You exposed your arguments politely and that's a novelty lately.

Best of lucks in your search for the perfect coffee with the perfect harvest cycle and the perfect price.
