VN Ren'Py Naked Ambition [v0.84] [Apollo Seven]

[Apollo Seven]

Ah I see, didn't know about that, I had thought he just made his own art as most devs do.. Okay I suppose that gives him a bit of by ball then.. So does he not make art for any of his games?

I don't make any of the art for my games, I pay artists to do that. That's what the Patreon is for, to fund higher quality art. The costs of the games are actually higher than the monthly revenue Patreon brings in.

Anyway. The game was on hold until about a month ago. I've been very open about why it was on hold and what is happening with the game now. .83 was necessary to make before moving the timeline forward since you can imagine in 2 years I've had a few ideas about how to polish and improve the existing systems. I need to improve the foundation before building it upward.

Ah okay, I hadn't realised that before, yes I can see how that may complicate things a bit, given the need to relay everything through the artists before it can make it into the game. So do you have a different artist for each game or is it just one working on all of them?

I guess I will need to retract a few of my previous comments and by the way, I didn't mean to for them come across as entirely negative. I mean, yes, it is a shame about the previous wait but on the plus side I did really love the game Naked Ambition, I spent a lot of time and multiple play throughs trying to find all the content, I particularly enjoyed the scene where the Vizier stripped the princess at the festival of flowers and when he made her do the wet tee shirt contest in front of the nobles, Ulirc's tavern scenes where he makes the princess appear naked in front of the tavern guests were also pretty awesome

Well in spite of everything, I'm glad to see that the project is still going, can't wait to see what other instances of public mischief our beloved princess finds herself exposed to in front of her loyal subjects

I mean you did come out accusing me of stuff like milking my supporters and being lazy. If your tone wasn't intended to be negative and attacking maybe proofread your messages some more before posting them. I made multiple complete games during the Naked Ambition hiatus, it's not like I was just doing nothing

Each game tends to have its own artists as I try to match the aesthetics to the tone and feel of the game I'm making. Netoria Tactics 2 has 3 different artists, one for character art, one for scene illustrations and one for pixel art. The pixel artist for Netoria Tactixa 2 being high quality and reliable is really what enabled Naked Ambition to come back. I've had a horrible time trying to hire NSFW pixel artists.

Please do retract those comments. I don't understand you at all. You are obviously not even financially invested in the game, yet you feel deeply wronged or even betrayed. Bro, it's very easy: If you like the game and you can't or don't want to pay, just spread some positivity instead, because that motivates other people to pay. Which in turn helps the development of the game and everyone profits. Just package your criticism a bit better (like for example with the sandwich method).

I liked the game alot btw, but I'm mostly lurking and rarely paying.

Really excited to see this game come out of hiatus, I can honestly say its in my top 3 on this site after many years. Are all the 3 Cecilly variation routes continuing as planned or will any be truncated/folded into another if I may ask?

 

[DsS2]

I'm about a week.

i know i'm being anxious but... Anytime soon?

No routes have been changed, just the conditions for triggering and progressing them. I'm still executing the same plan I had before the game went on hiatus.

i know i'm being anxious but... Anytime soon?

I always release stuff on Friday. So Friday.

Next thing will be asking about the timezone, the populace are restless for a new Lord!

I'm glad you came back to the game, it's by far my favorite VN.

 

[Cloudchaser]

Welcome back! Happy to hear that. Wish you all the luck with the development.

I noticed a new "change route" button on the bottom right of the "people" menu (where you see affection and favor points). Is it meant to be there or a debug tool that slipped through?

EDIT: small bug in the flavor text for levelling "foreign affairs", caused by that "%" before the question mark

Love to see this pop back on the feed.

 

[Applesono]

Beyond excited to hear this is back in development. It going on hiatus was gut wrenching, cant wait to see what gets added!

Glad to see you back at it, I rather enjoyed your game and felt it was fairly unique as far as corruption games go.
Here's hoping Interns of Ecstasy Island can rebound as well. I really loved that game too, but the last I heard, the dev stopped all work and has been making X-Change mods.

is alive!!!

 

[maxhaigan]

Now this is fine news. Glad to hear circumstances have cleared up a bit on this one.
