VN Ren'Py Package Perfect [v0.6] [Lewtopia]

[PragmaticCynic]

I understand and respect your opinion, though I have to disagree with some of it. Yes, the latest update took longer than expected to deliver. However, as I have mentioned before, this is my very first game. I am still learning, and I tend to make mistakes during the rendering and writing process that I have to go back and fix. I aim for high quality, and achieving that while working quickly is incredibly difficult for a solo developer.

One thing I would like to reiterate is that I specifically stated the first chapter was designed to set the story, introduce the characters, and build the world. With that foundation laid, it is now time to expand the narrative, let Luna become bolder, and create more tense and sexual moments.

Trust me, nothing would make me happier than delivering a new version every single month while preserving the quality I am trying to achieve. I am working restlessly to improve my workflow and speed things up. I have been fairly active on this forum and try to answer every single message. Feel free to ask me from time to time how things are going; I am always willing to share details. My intention is never to "milk" this project or drag it out to disappoint people.

All that being said, everyone has their own preferences. If this game feels like something you won't enjoy in the short or long term, so be it. I know I can't make everyone happy. What I can do is deliver my best work, and hope that those who give it a shot enjoy the experience.

Thank you for your reply.
I want to emphasize right away that i in no way want to influence your vision, this is your project, but as you said, i'm just expressing my opinion!

Honestly, i don't need updates every month, in my understanding, the development cycle should take 3-4 months maximum! This way we can enjoy 3 or 4 updates per year.
There are hyper-perfectionists who can fit 10 pages of text into 500 renders, and there are those who can competently balance it and fit 10 pages of text into 100-150 renders - this is just an example.

As i said above, i will base my final opinion on the next update, but again, if we take this and the future update, it’s already about a year of development, if not more, which in my opinion is unacceptable!

Just judging by the first update, everything was good for me personally and i want to enjoy the story and lewd moments and not wait for years only to end up disappointed!
There are quite a few good projects on this forum, but interest in them has been lost due to their long-term construction.

I'd like to say this is a perfectly good way to write a story; fleshing out the characters helps to ground the setting and build anticipation for the reader. Sure there is less happening in the earlier phase of development, but it will grant better results in the end!

I see a lot of peoples complaining about the "slow" updates when they actually are very fast considering :
1 - the high quality renders and compositions
2 - each update is around 500-600 pictures
3 - AFAIK the dev is still part time on this and cannot invest 100% of its time
There are tons of VN on this website that are just as fast while being way worse on every over points. You cannot have both speed of release and high quality bar for content. At some point increasing one means mechanically downgrading the other.

So far I really like the premises of this project and I see great potential for the future! There is a silent majority that truly love this project, only the vocal minority spends its time moaning about minute changes, and it's very tiring to read lol

I hope the dev stays motivated; you are doing amazing work and it will pay out eventually!

Played through v1.0 and honestly, I don't get the "dev is trolling" take at all. yeah, there's no spicy stuff in the latest update but does every game really need to rush into that? I genuinely enjoyed the update for what it is. There's already a million games out there that speedrun straight to the hot scenes or are literally nothing but that. Let us slowburn fans have our thing for once. Building up to something makes it hit way harder when it actually happens.

You're a terrible slowburn fan!
I could send you a couple of links to projects that haven't been released for a while(1-2 years), but that many people are eagerly awaiting, or where nothing has happened in terms of lewd content for over of years?

All things considered, you are doing an AMAZING job.

Try not to feel dragged down by negativety.

This thread has remained fairly active even though there was a little delay in updates. This is usually a sign that you already gathered a pretty substantial Community that is invested into your project.

That in itself is no small feat and not too many new AVN s manage to do that right from the start.

Hats off to you sir!

"Your opinion" is doomer posting saying that the game will be abandoned after the next update cuz you didn't like how long it took to cook, lol. That's not an opinion, it's a malicious prognostication based on nothing but your "bad vibes". I'll be the first to admit I refresh the SS a couple times a week, but there are other things to do while looking forward to this than doom spiral.

Don't worry, keep working on it, you are doing an amazing job. I like the fact you are trying to build something here with some deep story

 

[Futa_Buddy]

I love slow burns in avn's; the teasing, the buildup, it's great! If done well it can elevate the story and make the sexy scenes more meaningful. But the problem with releasing updates with no sexual content, especially if they're slow updates due to the dev doing this as a part time job (for example), is that it loses subscribers (that's an unavoidable fact)... and once that happens depending on how many people unsub it might not be feasible/worthwhile for the dev to continue working on the project, so then the game goes into limbo or gets outright abandoned and everyone loses (it's happened fart too many time to count)... I hope that doesn't happen here.

It depends of the goals, I see Devs with potential and not earning more than 300/400 bucks and work as demons dropping updates every 2/3 months, in fact, this site started this way, showing personal projects with no hungry for money.
If your only goal is milking people or make money then yeah, obviously project will be abandoned if the dollars don't enter.

I don't think it's the case here, Dev is first project with ambition (huge potential) and we can have a great game, if you just want a wank game, there are a lot of those (Futaworld of NTR for example, good game and it's a fuckfest), let Dev cook, and if it ends abandoned then happens, not the first one as you said.
