Ren'Py Parody Sex Life [v0.40.1 Beta ] [ParadiceZone]

[MLG720PartialScope]

Parody Sex Life was its own thing, Public Sex Life was a different thing. I'm not hating on the update, just that it's extremely misleading to say this is an update to this game when it's not. It's a new skin pack for the other game. One was a game with parody characters with dialogue designed for them and their own unique models, the other is a sandbox character creator with community mod support, arguably much higher quality and time put into it, but at its core is completely different.

I think people would've just preferred this game stayed dead in the water where it was, with a Girlpack released to the main game whenever you added support for renaming girls.

People wanted a game that had characters they recognized with dialogue designed to be similar to how that character acts/speaks normally in a sandbox gameplay loop with progression with each of the characters and story events. Imagine something like Harem Hotel but with parody characters.
ParodySL wasn't perfect, but it really filled that niche. Holy fuck your first interaction with Megumin is literally her lying face down on the floor. That's a great running joke from her series. There were love/whore choices for how you wanted interactions/progression with a character to develop as you played.

Now? I'm pretty sure the new engine can't even support characters like Froppy which is why she was removed from the pack lol. Her weird tongue stuff required unique animations that a copy/paste animation designed for blank dolls can't do. Girls are set behind a handful of copy and paste personality types that will offer the same dialogue.



What does this game do now that Koikatsu Party / Sunshine doesn't? Comparing ParodySL to that game before was apples to oranges, but now it's unfortunately the same niche.

That other comment piqued my interest regarding how there were a lot of assets from Brothel King, they weren't wrong lmao. It looks like PublicSL is basically just a major rework of that game? At least remove all the assets you aren't using for the game to save storage space and download sizes, some people would probably really appreciate cutting even just a bit of the fat off.
I actually can't find any similarities between ParodySL 40.0 and Brothel king in the files... 40.1 is a complete rip though damn.

Dude, you're going to be able to change their fucking breast sizes, and change their outfits. THIS GAMES BEEN DEAD FOR 3 YEARS. You would be getting nothing otherwise.
It boggles my mind that people would be upset that THE CHARACTERS WILL BE MORE CUSTOMIZABLE, AND THERE WILL BE 100'S OF ANIME CHARACTERS?
Like seriously, how the hell is adding 100's of customizable anime girls, fucking up a game?
It's soooo confusing.

I dunno, it doesn't sound that confusing to me. You abandoned the game for 3 years, by your own admittance, and when you brought it back you not only *didn't* bring it back the way it was, but it was brought back in a worse form. Yes, supposedly we'll be able to customize the characters "eventually". When is "eventually"? The game was already abandoned for 3 years, by your own admittance, so most people aren't going to trust features that will "eventually" be put in.

It's soooo confusing.

You've changed the basic mechanics of how you play the game, and people don't generally like change, especially when it's in a way that reduces the amount of content naturally accessible at once.

your promises of adding "100's of customizable anime girls" is straight up false at the moment (barely above 20 possible models but really only 4 usable at a time), you're just claiming it'll get better over time and after 3 years of waiting, getting told "just wait, it'll get better eventually" is going to make even the most patient of people mad, and porn game fans aren't exactly known to be patient!
personally I'm even more infuriated that this game and public sex life just straight up use the exact same game files as Brothel King, you don't even try to hide the assets you're not using! if you're going to ask money for what's evidently just a modded version of BK, at least credit the original will you?

yeah I checked and both this game AND PUBLIC SEX LIFE are pretty much complete rips, not a damn idea how long public has been like this but in any case making solid money off what's basically a mod from a fellow indie who's almost certainly not giving any green light, this feels a little legally questionable to me (but I'm sure as fuck no lawyer so what do I know)

I loooove how you go "This game is a complete rip off" and CLEARLY never played brothel king. Yes, it has code from the game.


But guess what, I got permission to use said code for my game by the creator, and the two games couldn't be anymore different. You'd know that, if you actually played Brothel King, which I DID give credit too, in the credits. Guess what, lots of coders/games do this. It's not a rip off, if you add code to your game from a different game, especially when they are drastically different.

A good number of the systems are completely unique, the Paradice is a pretty solid dev but it looks like they were wanting to utilize the character creation / Girlpack system available, I'm really interested in their claim of "you're going to be able to change their fucking breast sizes, and change their outfits"

Currently Raven, my favorite, has a Girlpack folder. In that folder is 2,602 files, 2 of which are her portraits, 1,112 are "animations," 496 in clothed, 496 in naked, and the final 496 in partial. These are all, from what I can tell, the custom skins applied to a template the dev created, with 496 unique idle shots. That's really impressive imo, the dev has put in a lot of time creating these and hopefully this is at least a semi-automated process.

This also makes in-game customization extremely difficult to pull off though, since if you want to make a girl's boobs bigger, there'd have to be pre-made files and .webp's of hundreds of files unless it's very contained. Doesn't look like it's going to be something community members can add to which sucks a bit, and right now every girl is going to be roughly 260MB.

If you check out Brothel King, their Girlpacks are literally just png's and really roughly put together at that, a lot of their characters are straight twitter/pixiv rips of the girls lol. Hopefully there'll be a tool or something similar to allow people to add their own characters easier, I think it'd be biting off more than they can chew to attempt to add 100s of girls themselves.

forums aren't really a place to go to if you want to hold on to your faith in humanity, getting mad just means you let them win. anyway still need to check back in on this guy's stuff... eventually

 

[Johnboi649]

I like this new version, I'm just waiting for the android port

 

[MLG720PartialScope]

Looks like they deleted their post.

My point was that the old system was set up specifically for those characters. Megumin could have cast explosion because the game was originally set up for Megumin to be Megumin, not a series of personality boxes that got ticked to generally get her personality.
That’s why I mentioned Koikatsu, because that’s exactly how they did it. You don’t play that game expecting Aqua to do water tricks, but in ParodySL that was something that could have happened. Because the game wasn’t a full sandbox, but the characters were designed specifically to be the character they are.
Nobody is expecting a beta game to be fully released, I’m not mad or upset that this game is early access, it’s the fact that this is a completely different game and you’re trying to pretend it’s not.
You added some new girl packs to PublicSL, awesome. You removed what I assumed was the existing girl files from the main PublicSL release, and uploaded it here with some parody characters. So the game is a carbon copy of PublicSL, all the characters in this one can and will behave in the exact same way characters in PublicSL will, none of the characters will have any personality outside of the specific options the game has available to them, none of which being the “Megumin” option, the “Raven” option, “Froppy.”

A similar game would be Onii’s Rogue-Like. It’s a Ren’py sandbox game where you go around and seduce some X-men (women). In that game, Rogue will mention things about her past, change based on certain stats, ask you to call her different names- including her non-hero name Anna Marie. Her character was designed to be Rogue from X-Men.

Now imagine that dev abandoned that game and started making a side game with girls who aren’t from anything, and don’t represent any characters, and their personalities are given to them by a series of attributes, such as a character might be Happy, Adventurous, Curious about sex, etc…

So now they’ve created that side game with characters who have personalities, and then they give these characters skins from the original game and say “hey look the original game got an update!”

People go to play the update, and Rogue doesn’t ask you to call her Anna Marie anymore..? Rogue doesn’t have the ability to drain people’s abilities and had to live for years without human contact. She kinda acts like Rogue might, but she’s no longer that character. It’s a completely unrelated person that kind of acts and looks like her. Any attempt at story related to what a lore accurate Rogue would face is completely removed from the game.

That’s what this update did. It’s a different game now. If you make a character look like Megumin, your first interaction with them will no longer be her on the floor like the show. It will be her saying a generic line every other chuuni character will say to you when you first meet them.

Public H was a reskin, essentially just replacing all the models from anime to realistic. The parody was first, so the personalities still reflect the original characters, but magically it's somehow different and they are all different characters despite no changes to their personality? It Just doesn't make any sense man lol

They removed the part where they said "Megumin is still found face down on the ground" because it wasn't just a lie, the new game doesn't support her model type lol, looks like exclusively similarly-sized characters were "added."


But that'll be besides the point.

Public H is a completely different game and it's borderline impressive you keep insisting on it being the same when people can literally download version 40.0 and see it's completely different.

Which character do I modify for this line to show up in the game? Do I go to the popular girl and make her personality a bimbo? Or a slut? Would that make her initiate this sequence of events and call herself a crimson demon?

magically it's somehow different and they are all different characters despite no changes to their personality

no changes to their personality

no changes

You wouldn't be getting this backlash had you posted the girlpack to the Public SL page.

Patch Notes:

- Removed some existing girlpacks
- Removed class manager systems
- Removed most files from layeredimages (how you currently handle clothing / modifications to clothing)
+ Added Girlspack for 17 character skins (without this pack the game is just PublicSL with less content)
+ Girlspack only offers cosmetic changes to the base game

*Keep in mind these are the patch notes between PublicSL and ParodySL, not 0.40 to 0.41 (since 0.40 and 0.41 are different games)

Just leave ParodySL abandoned.

You notice how the two girls are missing from the game? And in my post during release, it states. Two girls are currently missing from the game...

Like at this point, do you even have any actual reasons or you just trying to grasp at straws lol


Like the only example of dialogue change is...you posting screenshots of a character that I mentioned is disabled.


It kind of just shows you got nothing lol

 

[MLG720PartialScope]

"This is a different game"
Such a weird criticism for sure. Muting this thread, will look back in a year and see all the marvelous changes lmao

Insane reading comprehension, enjoy your cheap Koikatsu knock-off.

Your right actually, despite not changing any dialogue, it's a completely different game with everything changed, including dialogue, somehow magically.

>Literally able to add 100's of anime girls of your choice, to a game that will have a ton of characters.


>Nothing but complaints about how I ruined a dead game.


Sweet.

I believe the issue is, the new characters dont feel unique as the OG ones were.

Before Public Sex Life H, the first and currently dead PSL was perfect: Unique scenes and stories for the main girls, plus a bunch of small, one-time scenes for the side characters. Now with the redo every one of the 20ish characters feel the same, only worse since they share essentially the same scenes (kissing for example), no matter which story/scenario you pick.

But that old/first game is indeed history, and now that H got overhauled and getting up to date to how it was before its own redo (which I find good imo), the first game is getting redone too? Why? The original got duped because of copyright shennanigans allegedly, not because it was lacking in characters.

I'm personally just as confused now as I was years ago.

I mean, you all have the option to either not play it, or play the original, so why be so upset that a dead game came back but a bit different?


Just come back when it's more fleshed out or something. Feels weird to go "What the hell, this game that's been dead for 3 years came back and it's different! you ruined the game!"


Like what do you want, it was either this or nothing lol
