VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch. 4 Up 4 Public] [Mutt & Jeff]

Whats this from?

Just a made-up dialogue referring to the cross necklace. I have no idea what the original scene was all about.

Having experienced faithful Hana route so far I am kind of curious what they are cooking up to reward the commitment.

Yes, but I am also curious what the reward for no commitment will be like. Is she going to entertain herself with other activities/characters?

Does Mina always break up with Ian ? I am curious but too lazy to do a playthrough where i don't fuck their relation points

Yes, they will break up no matter what you do.

Kathleen, there is already a scene where they fuck, in the last update she didn't have a scene, I hope to see one in the next one.

Let's do it for the phones now

the wallpapers are great! i will use rosalind my favorite.but the formerly "my cum is white as snow" is crazy

what an omission, in fact, that there is no voice acting in the game. Imagine the voices of all these cute mature girls. Damn, that would be interesting. How much the game would become alive from this.
On the other hand, I know which voice actors will be voicing the girls, so it's not so interesting anymore.....

The duality of man.

You know, voice acting could be nice but it's also a dire limitation. There are only so many hours of dialogs you can pay/put in the game, and it usually caps the lenght of the story and the branching pats.

Explain

This game makes about 5.500 bucks on Patreon. That has to be split between the devs. A VA costs a shitton of money if you want to hire a proper one, with some charging 25 bucks per minute. The audio doesn't just have to be recorded, but also edited and adjusted for the game, as well as implemented. That's a lot of lines of extra code when most of these devs aren't professionals, writing spaghetti code.

You also have to have constant communication with various voice actresses, meaning extra work.

Due to the nature of how these games are developed, with the scriptwriting often starting only after releasing an episode, going in tandem with the renders, it would also heavily prolong the time between updates, since only when the script is done you are able to hand it all over to the VA, who also takes a lot of time recording and editing the audio. If changes need to be made, that means longer waiting time for the updates to be released since you can only hand over the script to the VA when it is completely done.

That's a lot of extra work and money spent on a feature that barely anyone asks for.

Yes, I understand money and time. No one has enough of either.

Not a fan of full VA for AVN, I think it's a waste of resources. I read faster than they speak, it's more annoying than anything. Maybe some AI can do the job for "cheap" (at least cheaper than real VA) but that's something a lot of players will mute anyway, more often than they mute music.

Yes, you're right. My dream is stupid.

 

[Simpgor]

You've also got to consider the people willing to VA for an indie porn game usually aren't professional level/understandably don't have professional equipment and that dialog is occasionally reworked/added/removed after an update which would require another session its more of a headache than its worth imo (for PC level at least)

besides do we really need to hear Jim talk as he fuck the house girls? Is it not enough that we have to keep looking at it!?!?

You guys are gonna freak when you find out Edwin's incessant monologues are voiced by someone who sounds like Big Bird in my head.

How dare you not give him the voice of the most iconic smart guy (glasses) who has "bad" desires clearly his canon voice should be:

Well, when you finish the game, you will grow old, you will become lonely. you can voice the game yourself. if you want.

I found a solution with your quick reading. You can simply add a function to disable text on the screen. Just the voice of the actors.
You can just watch and listen.

Dev Diary 78

Hello, TD here.

I'm writing this later than usual, in the midst of spinning my wheels over some dialogue, so I'll keep this quick.

As of July 14th, the current count for Ch4Up5 is 1,345 statics, 41 animations, and 25,661 words.

That works out to 105 statics, 16 animations, and 2,623 words added to the project over the last two weeks.

As you can see, the focus has been on animations. Some really, really juicy animations for a Rosalind branch that has surprised me by becoming one of my favorite h-scenes in both a creative and a lizard brain sense. That's one of the fun things about this hobby, and the boon of collaborating with a wonderful artist like GIL. I know what I like, but sometimes our mish mash of ideas align in a serendipitous way that expands my love for writing smut.

Anyway, I'd say we're about 80% through with the Rosalind stuff. The more "romantic" branch is behind us, and we're currently chipping away at the last one. After that, they'll be some loose ends to tie up and a scene we've got some partial work done on already, but then we'll be on Friday of Week 3.

Boy, we're looking forward to getting to Friday.

As always, thank you for enabling GIL and myself to live our best life. Not a day goes by where either of us takes our good fortune for granted, and we're only able to do what we enjoy doing because of you.

I love you guys.
