Ren'Py Refuge of Embers [v0.19a] [Escape Sauce]

[Escape Sauce]

I develop this game on a Core 2 Duo laptop from 2007 that doesn't touch the internet, and I actually do test it on a lot of old and weird hardware. Developing on a god tier PC and being blind to optimization issues is a really common pitfall, probably especially for adult games because I bet a lot of people are putting these on an old laptop or phone instead of their daily driver. When the main game is done I'm planning to spend a few days building a version with a legacy RenPy SDK that should work on 32 bit systems and even Win9X as a kind of catch all for any older hardware or anyone who accidentally installed a 32 bit version of Windows.

A mystery if I've ever seen one! Why, oh why, would the Dev focus on Eryn?



I am at a loss, mate. No clue why they would do such a thing!

We updated Lucine's romance path with a new animated h-scene in version 0.19 and the new version we're working now is a Raisa path update.

Seeing Harth fucking another and not Eryn seems so strange to me lol.

I like the visuals, but the file size of the game seems very low. Is there enough content in this game?

I suggest you check it out and see for yourself. At right now little is happening in the game but i think you should check it out regardless to see what the Devs are trying to do and how.

So how long does it take to play through the game at this point, without skipping? From what I've read in this thread, it sounds like there's a lot of text and very little sexual content.

Depends on how you slice it since it has branching paths. In the changelog I list the total word count but a play through on a single path is going to be shorter. Right now the game has 165 mins worth of unique text across every path combined assuming an average reading speed, and there are 9 animated h-scenes. If you play through just the Eryn path you'd see 2 of those animated h-scenes, and on Lucine's path you'd see 3. A single play through would be maybe 100-120 mins. At this point we're adding in a new h-scene every month along with about 10-15 mins of text and we plan to start wrapping the game up towards the tail end of next year.

Why I'm not getting the Eryn sex scene anymore? There's only the handjob scene if I load older save.

Guys I know there are games similar to this one, but i dont really remember the titles. Maybe some of you do?

Heres a gallery unlocker.
Just paste this file on your game directory and it should work.

Note: This unlocker works for renpy games that rely on the renpy.game.persistent._seen_ever variable to track gallery content.

In our game a universal gallery unlocker can cause crashes and break saves by messing up choice tracking since we occasionally use those labels to do other things. To unlock the gallery always use the cheat code instead.

The prologue was missing a choice tracking variable on Eryn's path that we needed to use as a trigger for her scenes. I don't remember which update we fixed that on but I think it was version 0.17 so saves prior to that won't show her newest h-scene. All of the paths are going through major revisions and will be janky for another 2 months. It sucks but there's no good way around it.

The next update to Eryn's romance path is going to add a new h-scene that's more appropriate as her first sex scene in place of the cowgirl scene, then move the cowgirl scene to later in her path. Everything is getting chopped up and moved around to flow better.

This may seem like an odd question but why during the sex scene with Eryn there is no deflowering? That was your creative decision or she was not a virgin? Curious, is all.

We were about halfway through making her first sex scene as a cowgirl scene and decided that cowgirl didn't really match for a virginity scene, but it was coming out really good so we decided to just finish it as-is and replace it with a more appropriate first scene later.

Ah i see. So basically there will be a "First time" in the future? When will you stream again?
