VN Ren'Py Our Home [v3.04.00] [Old Hiccup]

[WakamoSato]

I just gave up trying to understand some comments.

I'd rather not go into the reasons why I imagine some players do this sort of thing. I prefer to just look at criticism as an opportunity for improvement, and well, Our Home is now the only game that has a process where people can report dialogue errors if they think something might be wrong.

I've had other feedback regarding navigation, I'll address the issue, I've tried to create a very clean layout with no back buttons everywhere, but maybe that can be confusing.

About the characters, showing them in relationships is basically linked to a moment in the story where the MC gets the contact of a certain character and has his phone number added to his agenda.

But I don't think it's a big problem to insert this contact before, it won't change much in the historical context, it seems quite feasible to me.


I'm already working on the next version, I just released this 2.2.2, and I'm going to put these points in my roadmap.

Thanks for the feedback, feel free to make any suggestions you think are relevant.

I think you got a gem on your hands, this game got potential to become one of the greats. Just keep going.

The 'report dialogue errors' is a stroke of genius, it's just a brilliant idea, I only used it once, (text was 'us', should have been 'use') so minor stuff. I'm not a native english speaker, so can't help with the more complicated stuff.

In regards to the character contact info, think of it as the phone and the bio screen being two seperate things, so meeting a girl for the first time, like in the hair salon or the MAID or the girl kicking ass in front of the mall, would be added to the 'top right corner bio', but not to the phone, so you know they are existing, but you don't know anything more, so you don't have them in the phone yet. Take the girl in front of mall as example, text in char bio could just read "omg, what a crazy girl. But she looked hot, I would like to learn more about her, or get to know her better, hope to meet her again" something like that.. No entry in phone yet.


I hope it was somewhat helpfull and have a great weekend.

so a fresh start is required then?
ive tried a few of old saves (different events each), and after any of those events is finished, the game just sends player to the start screen (game over).

You are probably using save version 2.1.6 or lower, unfortunately I made a mistake between version 2.1.6 and version 2.1.7, so grab this save from the end of version 2.1.7, it will help you. Version 2.1.7 I just corrected some things in English.

Unfortunately, it's something I couldn't solve in renpy, because of some limitations, Version 2.1.7 was the longest available for download.


You can change the MC's name on the phone.

yeah, thanks.
i have started a new game/save, and everything is good so far.
the only thing is that i have no fucking clue what to do after following marta to kims room
ive tried to wait for hours and nothing happens.

not sure why did you decide to go with sandbox - for now there is no reasons for that model, i would say
it is way harder to code/manage (and it is more bugs "friendly"), it usually annoys majority of players, even if it isnt that grindy due to lack of content (aka empty scenes/spaces etc).

one more things would be those avatars of speakers with diallogues/textboxses- no need to have those at all, or you could make it optional

well, that would be it from my side for now.
as another user has pointed already, the game isnt half bad, and with a bit of luck and proper development it could be one of the better ones for sure

edit.
solved not being able to progress the story after following marta:
apparently, there is a hints bug.
after following marta, hint remains the same (should go to norah house), while the mc should go to the gym, to be able to continue the game.

About the sandbox, as I'm still at the beginning of the story it doesn't really seem to make sense, but soon the game will present all the things I planned for it, mainly the events with each character.

I think I've finally reached the code level where I have all the necessary structure to be able to continue with the sandbox model.

But the sandbox here is not like a grind, I chose to separate it this way, because well, players will be free to follow the story of one character and then another without the need to keep managing dozens of saves just to see the route with another character he would have liked to have gone with.

Something close to what happens with the game What a Legend.

About the image on the side, I'm going to create an option in the menu so that it's optional.

It's really simple to implement, and will give the player a more complete view of the scene, thanks for the suggestion.

About the events they happen in an order, you need to come back the next day at 7am to continue working.

And there is a side quest at 13 on Wednesday at gym.

I will improve the hints so that you can better locate yourself

I really don't like the menu please fix it, it's frustrating using it.

Hi

Can you be a little more specific about which part you didn't like?

 

[Happyslappy169]

Like put some text in the menu when it says load on the icon in your game, it will help a lot for me and the way that I play ren'py games. And hey!

And, yes, of course, something like a caption on hover or text below the icon.

I can do that, thanks for the feedback.

 

[MrBenny]

Maybe also add a choice to adjust the textbox shade (lite to dark), or use a darker font. At the present state, its very difficult to see the text on the screen.

 

[Steppen Wolf]

Without a walkthrough is really annoying....

How do I get to find the keys in order to go inside Nora´s house?

 

[The Pie Rat]

I'm stuck on "There are pending sidequests."

I go to every marker and skip time, nothing happens.

I only have Amelia and Norah, Norah says "Keep the pool clean" (Doesn't say how, nothing happens when I go there.) and "The Weekend" (Nothing happens on the weekend)

 

[sdawg1234]

Couldn't trigger the side quests. Said something was up at Norah's on the weekend and after mindlessly clicking just gave up. It's a empty sandbox with hints that aren't really helpful. I'll come back when this game actually has content and maybe a better hint system. I wish the dev luck and hope they're able to create the game they envision.

 

[Tom7902000]

After 1st vist psychologist, went to the gym then the hint is went back to nora, but it showed you need the key to enter? why?

I didn't get through the whole playthrough before quitting and deleting, literally nothing so far couldn't be improved by being in a AVN format with choices. My favorite genre of all time is sandboxes like morrowind/skyrim/ark these adult sandboxes are so lacking in content that it is offensive to me personally. I feel they are only done as time wasting exercises to mask a lack of actual content.
The renders were good the writing was just ok but I probably wouldn't bother with it anymore tbh due to the format but best luck.

 

[XanderCage]

needs a darker background for the text its hard to read at times

 

[Abhai]

needs a darker background for the text its hard to read at times

and here i am wondering wtf devs put those ridiculous dark bacgrounds all over the screens

well, to each their own, as always.
text-box opacity slider would be the best solution probably.
