Ren'Py Completed Olivine Lights [v1.6.2] [Writefuck]

[Sossse]

as little as the were nsfw scenes, the ones that where there are rly dmn good. couse the characters have so much personality it feels rly rewarding when you reach said scenes. just wish i could see what author could do with bigger budget

What's the music in the sunset scene from? The audio file is labeled as "emotion", and I know it from somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on it.
Edit: never mind, it's literally called Emotion. I'm an idiot. I was stuck thinking it was from Hotel Dusk or Last Window and confused myself.

This is really good work btw. It's a bit corny at times, but I've generally really enjoyed the two endings I've gotten so far.

I applaud the effort put into the writing, mate.
That's some good eats in the pool of mediocre horny.

Actually made me bond with a character I had no interest in before.
Any odds for a sequel to explore it more or are you working on other things?
Either way, curious to see what you come up with next.

One of the most heartwarming things that's been said about me.

What's the music in the sunset scene from? The audio file is labeled as "emotion", and I know it from somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on it.

If anyone else is wondering, it's called "Emotion" and it's from Pokemon Black and White. I've also seen it listed as "Unwavering Emotion" but I think the official title is just "Emotion."

Either way, curious to see what you come up with next.

I am already pretty deep into writing/coding another Pokemon VN. It features Marnie and it takes place in Lumiose City. I need to release an alpha version before Pokemon Legends ZA comes out. The Marnie game is not a sequel to this one, but it's going to be similar. I don't intend to make a direct sequel to Olivine Lights, but we certainly haven't seen the last of Cynthia. I have long-term plans.

I'm 95% sure that the town map is some place on the west coast of Norway

Played through a few routes and even w skip function I find myself reading already seen scenes again. Genuine, heartfelt. Also like the subtlety with how characters address or refer to you based on romance level. Makes me want more.

It's from a free stock photo website. I traced it back to its source to see if it said where the photo was from. Apparently it's Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway.

It's hard to find stock photos of a city with a harbor facing towards the bottom of the screen, since you'd need to be taking the photo from on/above the water, or on a convenient island. But Olivine City's harbor canonically faces south in the games, so I had to abide by that.

Edit: Found the original source. It's from Pexels and the photo is by someone named Jeswin Thomas.

I really like the writing here! Cynthia really feels like an admirable woman who's done a lot of cool shit. I can't say the same for the player character, but I'm fine with that - an infodump of what you're like would be a huge drag. Nicely done! Thank you for posting this.

That was a pretty fun and solid experience, my biggest complaint is that there wasn't more

On a serious note, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of different outcomes there were on the various events despite the short nature of the game. The characters were believable and enjoyable.

definitely hoping to see more of this in the future

This is soooo good I love it - brilliant writing, makes characters lovable - shows the Pokemon world in a really cool realistic way, awesome.

You guys are too kind, I don't even know what to say.

This was a pretty fun timewaster, not gonna like...but I have to admit, my biggest pet peeve was playing as the DUMBEST, most pathetic excuse of a trainer that I have ever had the misfortune to play as. My almost 25 years of playing Pokemon games made me want to scream at how idiotic and weak this motherfucker was.

Also, what kind of bullshit is Sheer Cold hitting 3 times in a row LOL!?

All that being said, I loved the way Jasmine and Cynthia's characters were written! If the games / TV show actually tried to flesh out the characters just a little bit more, I'm sure they would be exactly how they were presented in this VN. I especially liked how you honed in on what an absolute nerd Cynthia can be.

It's because Betsy is a hacker. That's also how Lapras knows Steel Beam in a certain scene.

Damn, I came to have dessert, but I got served a full-course meal.

 

[Suminohana]

Too text-heavy for my taste. It's not bad I guess, but I was here waiting 2 hours to see anything even remotely sexual, and then the game ended.

I've released a small update to the game, version 1.6.2. The links in the first post have been updated, except for YourFileStore which isn't letting me upload anything right now. You can also get the game from my itch io page. Changes in this update:

• Fixed a softlock when blackmailing Jasmine after evolving your pokémon, where the player could get suck in a loop in a menu that only lets you pick "Stay here with Cynthia instead." and never go anywhere. Thank you to joelaarhus for pointing this one out!
• Changed how the love meters are displayed so they don't constantly hide and show when the dialog box hides and shows.
• Fixed a couple of niche places where Betsy's sprite would duplicate itself when meeting her at the docks.
• Added social links to the main menu, which take you to my Linktree page with links to all the various places you can find me.

Apart from this, there's only one tiny gameplay change:

• If the player evolves their starter pokémon during the night, you will get +1 Cynthia love later on when telling her. Previously, the player would lose 1 Cynthia love under some circumstances.

If you're wondering where version 1.6.1 went, there isn't one. I skipped directly from 1.6 to 1.6.2 just to make it a little clearer that there's been an update. I also wanted to say thank you to all the kind souls who've written reviews and stuff. The glowing things people have had to say have absolutely blown me away. With my lack of art ability, I know the game is pretty ugly to look at, and I'm happy that the story I wrote was good enough for you to overlook that.

I'm still working on my next pokemon VN, which stars Marnie. I hope to have it finished within the next few months.
