VN Ren'Py Completed Occultus [v0.8] [BC]

[wewlad]

People really need to start putting how much content these 0.1 versions have.

Getting tired of downloading the exact same 3Dshit with 5~ minutes of poorly written porn. Let's see if this one is any different.

EDIT - Yep, it's average. Solid writing, "meh" renders (grainy as hell but decent models) and around 5~ minutes of content. Wait for more updates before wasting your time.

If you feel that way why not wait for an 0.4/0.5 version before downloading.

Seems pretty interesting. I have always liked vampire type stuff so hopefully this'll be good to play. Will keep a eye on it and see how it starts looking.

 

[BeCe]

What.

This should probably be "You play as a young man who meets his estranged aunt while looking for work and through her discover the weird and wonderful dark underbelly of your home town."

Good catch, fixed.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm primarily a writer and have no experience with the art side of things. I'm figuring it out though and I am planning to redo all the art at some point when I get better or afford someone who can do it for me!

Because not all 0.1 versions are the same obviously.

Will be keeping an eye on this because I personally value writing over art style and you definitely had at the very least, extremely solid writing.

Good luck to you.

Ya the writing is solid. I normally find myself just click click click but this kept me engaged. Id suggest also compressing your images so you don't get to much file size bloat in the future.

Rendering takes time an patience. For my game I have really spent most time on my renders setting up the lighting. Id suggest looking into that. Proper lights really, really help.

if you wish to quote that is fine but your original post suggests you are saying they are all the same.I would say that is a contradiction in terms

 

[Nightcrawler]

Anyway back on topic nice little intro will keep eye see where this goes.

Well I clearly am not saying that because if I felt that way then why would I even ask if I truly felt that all 0.1s were the same?

Would I get better results using something other than Iray in Daz3d or should I persevere and try to get it right.

Iray is your friend. Its a beast, but learn it. The thing with iray is it works like an actual camera so try not to fake the lighting. Lighting should be done like on a photoshoot so knowing the basics of a three point lighting system really helps.

With proper lighting the renders will actually go quicker as well. This is because iray wants light the more light the faster it can progress. Just dont over due it. I typically have my hdri and 3 lights. Sometimes I just have lights from inside the room such as lamps and such and my 3 lights.

Also HDRI's are great and when you start doing darker scenes which I imagine you will since you have some occult stuff going on you will want to understand the tone mapping system in the render settings as well. I highly suggest making a very basic scene and playing with it.

Just finished this one. The writing is so-so, see quite a lot of clichés. The renders are realy bad. In my renders the lighting isnt perfect as well but these ones are indeed very grainy. I suggest you start quickly with learning how to make proper renders before continuing at least now the amount of renders you have is manageble.

I will check new releases but probably no sooner then 4 or 5 to see if the story has improved....

 

[veeral]

I like it dev. Look forward to more. Thanks for making what you have so far!

 

[Tyrranus]

This has potential and vampires + mind control definitely caught my attention... toss in redheads and well you have the foundation for a serious win here. I'll wait a few more versions before passing judgement on it either way, but good start.

 

[muttdoggy]

I agree with the majority. Very SOLID start!!!
You're onto something here, @BeCe !
Enjoy your new "dev" tag.

 

[Kanda]

are the sister hairstyle just switch suddenly??

 

[User_10739]

Interesting start, love the concept but image quality is pretty low. No offence to dev but playing this on a 29" screen the art was downright blotchy.
Still I'm looking forward to next update.

You should know by now that 0.01 = game intro demo and just wait until it gets to 0.04 or so before jumping on it.
Me I play all the demos as frustrating as they can be but I am looking for diamonds in the rough that I may choose to support with the development. I am about to drop my patronage of several games as the devs seem to have fallen off the planet so there may be other games that need my financial influence.

 

[Maxxos227]

Just finished the demo, the writing is very good and the renders are awesome i can't wait to see more, works like this are far and few between, keep up the good work.
