VN Ren'Py Nothing Is Forever [v0.7.3] [MrSilverLust]

[osanaiko]

One thing I will say about the music though, maybe it's just me but when I'm trying to read if I hear vocals/talking I can't concentrate on what I'm reading, or even hearing actually. You don't really hear vocal tracks during dialogue in movies or shows or video games or anime for the most part, I actually don't really remember any time. The vocals usually are only done when characters are not talking. That was one of my nitpicks, but I never thought it was worth just bring up by itself, now that the topic of music is at hand though I'll just toss in my two cents.

This is a good point. Unfortunately I can't see any way to dynamically change music inside a VN so there is only instrumentals in the parts where text is shown and vocals during "transition scenes" - different players read at different speeds so there's no way to set it up by "dead reckoning".

Dreaming... maybe one day there could be an AI powered feedback loop that generates the audio track on the fly to match the game progress...

And while at it also analyses players brainwaves to further synth the loop and incorporate Jen's nipple clamps pressure or the wind's rustling through Lea's braless beach dress... One can dream!

Is it ready yet?

Seriously, I am hooked on this VN.

Anyway I wonder how progress is going. I kind of feel like we're getting left out, Mr. Silverlust used to put pics and progress up here but now apparently only does that on locked Patreon and the Discord. Also how big this chapter is projected to be, in comparison to previous ones. Chapter 5 I enjoyed but I think was smaller than 4 which I didn't enjoy as much.

in fact there are a few open entries on patreon and that's it, but the update is still expected at the end of March hardly, in April most likely.

Last 3 posts on patreon are public, last one from feb. 13.

It's crunching time!

All posts on patreon or messages on discord are open, except for the polls after the release of a new chapter.
Everything is still going more or less according to my lattest updates (also shown above).

Also how big this chapter is projected to be, in comparison to previous ones.

Probably more or less as last one. I don't know yet for sure how big it'll turn out to be, but, before release, I always show all the "stats" in comparison to previous chapters.

One thing I've noticed is that I have more scenes in this chapter than before, but they are smaller. It wasn't exactly planned, it just kinda happened given the story of this chapter. Perhaps because, as time goes by, more and more scenes are specific of certain paths. I'm not sure how this is going to affect the tempo of the chapter. But, I guess, you'll see a few more changes of location/days across the chapter.

Yup it's pretty much this. It's crunching time to see if I can have it out around the first week of April. Give or take.

Will the next update finally bring Bri to the spotlight? Girl deserves more than to be a side character

 

[Mharzel]

Yah Bri feels like a side character, I feel like chapter 6 will be the nuke with the nuclear fallout and Bri will be our emotional blanket. I feel like Olivia buildup will be with it, I do hope I don't have to steal her from my friend. (But I will if that's the only option). Do take your time though Mr. SL, I think others wouldn't mind a slight delay

I don't understand, each time I load a save ALL my skills reset...

 

[rafaaa]

9 or 10.

I don't understand, each time I load a save ALL my skills reset...

I never saw that happen. Are you using any mod? Does it also happen when you start a new game? After buying the skills again and saving, does it still happen when you reload that save? From which version of the game were the faulty saves? Is it just the skills, or *all* variables are being reseted?

Did this ever happen to anyone else?

Try download the game again, maybe something got corrupted.

 

[Mfka5]

Im just wondering will my android saves work next time i download update lol
I now have SD card so heres to hoping

 

[Raurosfalls]

Dominating Emma has to be one of the hottest and most satisfying routes in any western vn...

I don't care which path you guys take, which girls you have chosen, and which kink you guys liked, this story is so good and really helped me in my life. MrSilverLust I can't really financially support you but you have my thanks, from the really bottom of my heart. Through your game, through your story, you helped me in my life as anyone did. The least I can do is say Thank You. It is a simple message with no worth at all but, this is the least in my power I can do.

I've had a few games help me when things had gotten rough.

The above comments should help people to realize that porn games can be more than just cheap titillation. In the right hands and done correctly, they can be a legitimate art form.

Good luck with the Steam release, but I hope you've doublechecked to make sure the music you're using won't cause any issues with adult content. The game has some very nice music and it would be a shame to have to change anything, but I gather a lot of music licenses have clauses that forbid use in sexually explicit works. Vigilance seems to be much higher on Steam than it is on Patreon, probably because it's much higher profile.

Leap of Faith got hit by a takedown notice shortly after it launched on Steam and had to scramble to get reinstated; I'd hate to see something like that happen here.
