VN Ren'Py My New Girlfriend [Ch.6 Final] [CircleGames]

Sure I cant deny quantity and quality have gone up, but is that improvement in correlation with how much more effort he's putting in ?

Yes, absolutely is. You can create random ass images with AI, and you can create quality images via the use of multiple tools and techniques involved. That alone is much more time consuming, and that's without him even touching photoshop - which he's doing a ton of postwork. All the neat transitions, split-images with fancy borders that give the whole thing a comic-book look, image corrections (he has a background in 3d-design) and god knows what. All that and more... It's so much more effort compared to a simple prompt with a handful of loRA's and batch generation going for a hit or miss approach.

Abyss' posted a pretty good timelapse video showcasing how much work and steps can go into a single image, and that is without postwork in photoshop:

Take a look at the video

Sure he doesnt have much experience yet but still his level RN has him probably in the Number 1 ranking NTS AI game, which is pretty new to our industry yet he's up still, he can do more or atleast maintain some consistency, to what extent are you going to improve the quality more and more ?

The reason he's up there is because of the quality he's able to produce. Consistency with AI can be difficult to achieve, but that's not really why the rework was required. He's decided to change some scenes on how they play out, not necessarily because of the art (though a couple images were in need of a touch-up IMO). Though that goes back to the quality control I've mentioned before and it's a learning process.

GGGB had improved in its years of development but Eva Kiss didnt revamp the whole game to improve it 100%, no, she implemented her upgrades whether in quality, quantity and whole project's quality in her NEW GAME ORS, you need to reach a threshold for this season, atleast if you want to up your game then up it in Season 2 for example.

I mean.. CG's doing it the way he wants to do it. Would be pretty entitled to tell him how he has to do anything, especially being a pirate. His subscribers are happy and he's following his vision for the game. He's not lying, he's not making any fake promises or Patreon goals that are never followed up on, so there's hardly anything one can be mad about. Even subs get their money back if they're not happy. That alone is so rare in the AVN industry, I respect it a lot.

What I care about is sticking to the quality we have now and state consistent on it, and expand either quantity or stick to the same quantity but decrease the development time, what people care about the most is development timeline and quality, if you can stay consistent in your quality and have shorter span, sure go ahead, 1.5 months to 2 months max for each update sounds good enough. But are you going to keep increasing the dev pace AND the quality as a reason ? Nah we dont want THAT extent, perfectionism ruins games like Gunpowder Cocktail, looking forward to it soon.

See my above statement. His subscribers are happy, and those who aren't can get a refund. What you want and what he himself and his financial supporters want or are okay with might be two different things. This is getting into the realm of pure entitlement. Like, you can obviously have/share your opinion, but we can't tell him what he has to do.

Anya Silver Update Changes and Release Date

Hey guys, final version of Chapter 6 comes out tomorrow.

I added mutiple animations and a small Maki scene. Kira also got some changes for better consistency, she's a new girl and I'm still learning the best way to deal with her. Luke is also out of the update and a new male characther is being introduced into the story. The crossover with Luke was fun but it brought some logistic problems into the development and after some issues with the consistency of Luke I decided to develop a new charachter that I can rely on.

Anya changes consist of adding a new outfit to extend the scene a little bit and to ease things into the naughtier outfits instead of starting with a super slutty outfit from the start, the "inside the fitting room" scene dialogue has been completly re-written to better fit Anya's charachter and corruption level. Now Anya's personality and insecurities are way more present in the dialogue and she doesn't pass as just another slut anymore.

I take the changes as something that will make the consistency of good writing easier and the flow of character progression better, he kinda backed himself onto a corner with the recent chapter update. this'll make it so quality remains consistent easier.

The new version is better. The changes for Anya are good, Maki in addition is nice, but primarily the changes for taking out Luke and replacing by another actor - and the new ending between Ari and Eric does fit the story much better. Well done

 

[PsyDoggo]

Loved the new update, but nobody will hold me from keeping the Gold edition

And as someone who didn't mind her going as far as deepthroating during the photo shoot, the toning down was the perfect amount imo.

Pfff lame. I'm keeping the last version then instead of deleting the previous version, like I normally do.
Sounds like some real L&P nonsense. And to think I was considering supporting him.
Says he doesn't cave to public pressure, caved to public pressure.

But mb, as we've been speculating lately, she will show some more photos to Erik in the "reclaiming" process or he will find out their is more on a webpage, because what they did with Ari is x100 more "potent" IMO. Just to balance the scale.

I don't know bro beans. I'm getting some real mixed signals from this dev. I hope you're right.

After this upd. it's almost confirmed that Vi is going wild in the next interaction, while I really enjoyed jolt of emothions from previous version, it was logical decision to tone the whole thing down a little, whether I like it or not so much. It would've been hard to make something later to contest with that version.

After almost a year and a half since the release.... with six chapters and a DLC.. all we've gotten is... handjob from Violet.. .(She is the fav, also for many among the fab base... my ranking would be 1)Voilet ,2) Anya, 3) Erik's milf neighbour, 4)Erik's step-mom...).. I am not a big fan of Ari.. But after 6 chapters the more action Erik got is from Ari... while my Fav chick Voilet is still in basic NTS stage while being the more naughty minded compared to Erik... Either the dev has lost the point or scared to take the next step with Voilet... I don't get it... WHY???!!! I have blue balls and I am frustrated... Ari material is just annoying.. I want one punch man to punch her back to that stupid universe..

Yup full on L&P syndrome. Scared to make that jump. This is becoming a phenomena with some devs, but luckily not all and those I financially support if I can.

There are already 2 episodes of new season one punch man, mb higher gods will answer your prayers and kill her there.
For me Violet is at most priority and nontheless the good set up is settled to "let her free"
Ari is a good character only with Vi together(she kind of gives courage to Vi) in the same scenes and I think next time we see them back to back action is riding some bbc or exploring Gh idk.(plz dont kill me for those words)

I like your optimism, however we've been burned by some devs before with good setups and then the devs chicken out and back off. It's like they've fallen in love with their own character or something and begin putting them on a pedestal. This is beginning to have those hallmarks. Back peddling is never a good sign.

 

[NewGuy2022]

Right now there will not be anything avoidable, as experience comes, maybe one day I can create something more complex, or hire someone, sorry.

Thank you, developer, for being up-front about the kinetic trajectory of your product. I wish more developers would be this transparent up-front.

While I won't shame anyone for their kinks like cuckoldry, etc., I don't share or appreciate them so I won't be attempting your story. Also, I tend to not like trajectory stories and instead prefer games where my choices have meaningful impacts upon the outcomes. To me, that's the "game" part...

I will keep an eye out for any other products you produce, though, because I like where your head is on setting expectations.

Good luck on your venture and I hope to see something new / different from you in the future.

I trully hope that's not the case, I've never been so excited about a project before. CGod is watching and I put my faith in him,he will never let me down.(so cringe I wanna puke)

I guess part of it is what you are expecting. There are a lot of expectations around this novel it seems and they are all diverging hard of late. I don't think either of the extremes will get what they want. Vi is definitely going to have sex with other men, it is a given. But I do think her relationship with Eric will still be maintained and not in a cuck fashion. So if folks are hoping for that, there may be disappointment. That said, those that think any time she has sex without Eric in the room is cuckoldry and forbidden, well they will likely be disappointed as well. The will swing, they will explore others separately but seemingly as a part of pushing one another and enjoying their relationship. Now, do I always "get" that. Nope, but that is what I see this as being.

Lastly I will state that I do not think Eric is rapidly outpacing Vi. The Ari scene is his first sex scene with another woman. Cha5 was his first non VI BJ. The most he has had was the handjob from Maki prior to that. Now, if I had my way VI would have had her first non Eric BJ in the alley in Cha5 but that ship has sailed. However I am sure her full scene are coming. I just don't expect that she is going to separate from Eric as a part of that, from past Dev comments. But who knows, they could always pivet.
