VN Ren'Py Projekt: Passion [v0.11] [Classy Lemon]

[Sancho1969]

You're probably both hungover and full of shit. But so am I, so...

Regardless if I use the Season 1 or Season 2 variables, it's still gonna recognize how the player plays

Half correct. If the Player was to choose nothing but agro in S2 it wouldn't matter at all to the dialogue "flavor" though. So, every Trait choice in S2 makes no difference at all in it's current state. If you wish to alter that then (as previously mentioned) you could always add them together if you desire ("friendly+friendlyS2" for example).

Keeping achievements separate makes sense though, so I'm on board with that perspective. Chew on it. It's nothing game breaking but there's really no point at all in the 15 Trait choices the Player makes in S2 currently (besides Achievement unlocks)... just know it's a thing.

The only reason for them right now is for the achievement. But I'm gonna start using them in coming updates.

I do agree that checking friendly + friendlyS2 would've been better than just checking friendly but there aren't gonna be any big problems because of it, for example if the game sees that you've picked mostly friendly options in S1 and alters the dialogue because of that, even though you may have more of witty if you combine S1 and S2, you'll still have chosen a lot of friendly options and MCs dialogue will still make sense. As I said these are only for flavour

 

[Sancho1969]

For SanchoMod Stat screen population in S2 I'm going to add S1/S2 MC Traits together. See post here in the mod's thread for a bit more elaboration.

Bottom line: S2's MC Traits are only used for Achievement unlocks (to date). They will not change the MC's overall balance in dialogue at all, that is all based on your choices in S1 explicitly.

Edit: see above post by Classy Lemon for possible future implementation. Regards.

 

[Sancho1969]

Classy Lemon, thank you for allowing that Emily lewd in Ep8 to be non-EmDom if desired. Many devs just press it one-way but choice is always best (imho). It's all the little things like this that make a VN better, make it rise above others. Well done.

(see, I can offer kudos as well! )


Fans, I've done as stated above with MC Traits in S2 as well as Flirt points. I've also revised the stat screens to offer more detailed info such as which Season the event vars are from (in their chronological order as best as I can). Compared to the previews in the mod's thread, here are some S2 comparisons (not all Event Vars have been populated yet, so bear that in mind):

MiniStat (Page 1 will retain it's toggle-collapsable version too):

Both large stat screens:

You're probably both hungover and full of shit. But so am I, so...

I made new variables because I want to keep the S1 and S2 achievements separate, the achievement for Witty in S2 ain't gonna work if it also counts the S1 choices (which is where they do something FYI, check achievementChecker.rpy).

Back to our earlier discussions regarding S1 achievements/lore getting nuked by playing S2: I see this even after resetting the persistent store and deleting my saves folder. A S1 PT just gets totally REKT as soon as I start up S2. I don't even need to actually start playing. Just firing up to the main menu is sufficient.

I'm still trying to understand what's going on here, but so far it's eluding me. I might try making an S2 build with Ren'Py 7.4.10 to match S1. I'll let you know.

Hey, I just wanted to point out that the entire introduction sequence to the council meeting is one of the greatest works of humanity and should 100% be stored in a time capsule.

The tonal shifts are done so extremely well. The council entrance made me laugh and admire it

It did its job then!

IMO this is one of the biggest strengths of Projekt Passion, you get some really funny scenes to break some of the more tense moments and it never feels out of place, always comes at the right time and doesn't detract from the serious parts.
I can only say that Classy is a wizard, because this is very hard to pull off.

[Sancho1969]

Classy Lemon, hey bud, not so much a bug report since it technically isn't broken, but know in Ep10 (v0.10) you have two conditionals in the submenu choice "Take the stairs" that the second isn't really needed to set "snackStash" to "Analyzed" since it's already done in the first:

Again, no real harm/no foul since it's not broken but thought I'd alert you to the duplication within the same choice.

so you rly need to play diffrent playthro do get all the sex scenes?

 

[pitao]

so you rly need to play diffrent playthro do get all the sex scenes?

To get all the scenes I guess you only need 1 playthrough on season 1 with an alternate save in episode 4, because if you go to Tollorix first you get a scene with Emily in episode 5 but if you go to Corth first in ep4 you get a scene with Medea in ep5, you can either make a 2nd save and split 2 playthrough's or save do 1 path reload and then do the other path, imo better go to Tollorix first as the main playthrough because Emily is a LI while Medea is a side character. I use 3 playthrough saves though, one for each trait (Pure) friendy/witty/agressive choices for the achievements purpose so I usually make some small differences in them like that tollorix or corth first.

Either way you can check the pdf walkthrough in the OP for guidance or if you prefer to install mods there is a new one from Sancho1969 just for season 1 so far (no link in the OP yet), I installed it already but didn't replayed it yet with it. Sancho is working on the season 2 mod now. Alternatively there is also a multi unlocker in the OP if you want to unlock (any missing) scene(s) when finish season 1.

For the season 2 I think that just 1 playthrough get all scenes, of course some parts may need guidance also. Usually the built-in walkthrough makes the flirt options pink color and they lead to the sex scenes.

 

[Sancho1969]

Classy Lemon, good morning bud. Found a particular in Ep11 (v0.11) if the Player chooses Ashe during the council choice. Once done, there's a submenu choice which potentially awards "asheScene3" if previous prerequisites are met. Now, if the Player chooses to NOT to satisfy her "urges", the lewd scene later is populated regardless since it's not taking into account this choice but rather the same previous prerequisites:

This doesn't appear to be intentional... otherwise the variable "asheScene3" would simply be forced True if the prerequisites were met without the Player choice of "Yes."/"Now's not a good time.", but I can't be 100% confident in that assessment.

Regards.

wojtowicz, to confirm, pitao's answer is correct. S1 requires multi-pass playthrough due to two scene pathing splits, S2 (to date) does not. Just know the info is correct (again, to date, future updates may make this information obsolete). Regards.

So, looking at the walkthrough, there are areas where certain scenes occur if a certain girl has joined the crew. But I haven't seen any way for the girls to not join the crew. Like, there's no "no" option. And the walkthrough basically says continue on with the game and X girl joins. Do some of them end up not joining if you pick certain options?

Also, has that favor been cashed in yet?
