VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch.4 Up.6 Public] [Mutt & Jeff]

[The Senior Perv]

Dev Diary 101

I am happy to announce the production side of things, both the writing and visual, has concluded as of today. All told Ch4Up6 will contain 2,745 statics, 97 animations, and 55,511 words.

Honestly, I'm kinda glad we decided to wrap it when we did. We have been slowing down over the past month and a half and our fatigue would have ate into the exhibition proper. My only regret is that some of the things I intended to pay off across a single update will take two, but that's not worth the expense of inevitably cutting corners on the big event.

That said, this update isn't half-sized. There is basically two parallel paths for every scene leading up to Edwin getting to the exhibition, the sandbox comes in three stages and can conclude in like 5 different ways, the big capstone scene has three endings of its own. Then everything ends on a pretty juicy and dramatic note, setting the stage to swiftly finish the next update.

There's some (h)scenes with a new character, Hana, Mina, Sophia, Lucy, and well... various house girls. Plus for the people who decided to watch Vicky's tape at the end of the last update, you'll get some fun there too. We want get the next part out within four months of us starting the next cycle. That will have the exhibition proper, plus a couple intimate pay offs for other girls. I'm hoping that announcing that goal will keep things contained. That's always the problem; we would like to release more frequently, and have been saying that for years, but our renewed vigor at the start of the update always leads me to pack more than what is maybe necessary into the early scenes. A by product of feeling like we have all the time in the world, which in a sense I suppose we do. It's not like anyone is rushing us and your support hasn't waivered, but it'd be pretty cool to find a balance that we're happy with.

Anyway, exact release dates will be forthcoming. I'm getting rolling on my pass of the game: where I double check variables, put my stamp on the text, and get things like the scene replay triggers set up. GIL will polish some animations over the time and we'll then get it to our proofreaders. Given that we like to release on Saturdays, September 27th or October 3rd will be our likely target for our highest tier release, but do wait on our official announcement before making any decisions with your support.

Thank you all so very much.

Damn can't wait for all the action and thank you The Senior Perv for the Dev update as always

Long have we waited, proper Sophia content

This update looks like it'll be very fun, I always really really enjoy the free roam section before the exhibitions and it seems this one will be the best one so far, and highly replayable with lots of paths, I can't wait. I know I'm being greedy, but I hope Andrea is one of the House girls that got some scenes, she's way too darn cute.

I'm hoping for Andrea and the Pregnant house girl

H scenes look good, excited for them. Sophia getting something is exciting. Always love Mina and Hana. Curious about new girl, very intrigued to see her and her scenes.

I do hope not all of Hana's scenes are on her GF path, cause I know devs said that is getting focus this update, so I hope for at least one scene on non GF path and maybe to also push forward the throuple pairing with some progression after the Mina and Hana kiss.

 

[TD1900]

I do hope not all of Hana's scenes are on her GF path, cause I know devs said that is getting focus this update, so I hope for at least one scene on non GF path and maybe we can push forward the throuple pairing with some progression after the Mina and Hana kiss.

There's one scene gated to the GF path and another one that any one can get on (not variations, each is a distinct scene in the timeline), but the **big** Hana GF payoff that I've alluded to didn't make it into this update since we ended up splitting it.

 

[Lusurbur]

the more lucy content the better unironically one of the best house girls appearance wise tbh need more milfs in general the MC already has a bit of a mommy fetish with rosalind and is given the choice to watch his own moms tapes. Might aswell add in Lucy to the mix and give her a proper pathway we can dictate.....

Big news this week, but a shocking paucity of numbers. By my calculations TD and GIL have added roughly 100 static renders, 1.7 animations, and 1322 words per week over the 21 days since the last dev diary. Overall, they're currently averaging 79 statics, 2.8 animations, and 1593 words per week since work on Chapter 4 Update 6 began. Here are the charts for Week 35:

Spoiler: Wrap Up Charts!

The overall numbers will come down slightly with the time it takes to debug and release the update, but they are likely fairly close to the final tallies for the update. Personally, I'd say these metric show this update to be fairly median in terms of productivity: a little on the lower side for animations and statics, but relatively high for Words (admittedly, that's a smaller sample set). We'll see if the self-imposed deadline changes anything when it comes to Update 7, but for now I'd say we're getting a reasonable return on the development time.

I do think it will take a concerted effort on TD and GIL's part if they want to hit the four month mark, but if they think that will help keep them motivated I'm happy to try it out. I trust them to admit if it turns out they've bitten off more than they are able to chew. With any luck everything will go swimmingly and and we won't have to debate subdividing the stage show into yet another half!

But that's the future's problem. For now it certainly sounds like the development assets we were tracking have been put to good use! I love branching that flows from character choices, especially if it leads to even more choices down the line, so I'm certainly eager to see what's in store for us in this update and in the next one.

but the **big** Hana GF payoff that I've alluded to didn't make it into this update since we ended up splitting it.

I won't comment on this update then, how about that? You think only one can play this game?

Who's with me?

oh man i can't wait for the release

 

[Turret]

Long have we waited, proper Sophia content

Absolutely! Finally! Naturally very much looking forward to this, more Sophia content. Hope it to be just the beginning!Also the Hana routes, where we will see quite some forking apart of the paths, going by the log.
For the Housegirls I hope for stuff with Andrea and Dalia, the Lucy part could be nice too, we´ll see. Also interesting TD´s mentioning of the decision "deleting/keeping the Vicki porn collection". Seems like it will also change the future courses we can take, beside the fun stuff from it.
I am curious who this new character will be, do we possibly see a return of Edwin´s old flame?

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

There's some (h)scenes with (...) Hana, Mina, Sophia

And with that, I know all I need to know. Can´t wait to play this.

 

[bonerland]

Better prepare ourselves; the resulting tsunami from Turret’s goon session now that Sophia has a scene might be the one that destroys us all.

 

[ename144]

I am curious who this new character will be, do we possibly see a return of Edwin´s old flame?

I assume that will be Alison Smith, the former Carnation turned star actress.

Damn, I hope so!

Hi! You called upon me, how may I be of help? Btw. my middle name is Armageddon.

I assume that will be Alison Smith, the former Carnation turned star actress.

Hi! Right, it is most probably her, still we also had a flashback to Edwin´s old girlfriend. But definitely Alison is the more likely one.

 

[Zarathos27]

All the excitement for Sophia. It's ONLY gonna be handholding to test the efficacy of its new transdermal application.

 

[shroomify]

I was watching one of the memories and noticed the auto forward text does not work. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

edit: nevermind I figured out a way around it. When I load the playback before opening a save it will not auto forward. If I load a save and enable auto forward then open a playback the auto forward works. At least as long as I don't click somewhere and turn it off. haha

Are you mad ? Hand-holding would be too lewd, even for an exhibition. I know the devs have been pushing some limits in the past with hugs and cuddles, but this seems way too extreme.

Here's hoping, though
