VN Ren'Py Rick and Morty: Another Way Home [r3.9] [Night Mirror]

[Night Mirror]

r3.4 Progress Report #5 - Dec 9 @ 06:00 UTC (Task List)
And scene 2 of 5(6?) Jessica's Shower is done. To be fair it was a WAY smaller scene and I had most of the work for it done already. Still. Done (minus QC).

Gonna edit some video for the last scene, then start slicing the images for the next scenes. Feels like I made much better progress today than yesterday. First scene was the biggest (I can see why it got delayed in the Unity game). Next scenes will be tricky though as there are a fair number of edits I want to make, which always slows things down.

Oh, also, also, cutting up another scene (again, this is mostly for replay) gonna cut the next scene into two parts, based on what's going on and location. In theory, it could be 3 parts, but for the moment 2 seems best? It just makes replay a bit more targeted so you can get to specific content quicker without skipping through lots of dialog.

Anyhow, most likely only one more update from me today when I finish in like 4-5 hours.

Well with the next installment dropping very soon I can only predict two things, NightMirrors will probably go full "WHO DARES DISTURBS MY SLUMBER" after finally getting this thing done and getting to rest. And two, the lewd idea factory is going to be going in to over drive after this.

Overdrive?? It has been in over drive since Nightmirror decided to do this.

Not many devs/modders out there who take community input like this one!

I didn't understand how the family dinner scene will work, you said that you will separate it into 3 parts, it means that we will only be able to unlock one scene during gameplay, if so it will not affect future updates with some characters or these 3 scenes will be possible to obtain during gameplay.

No, the "split" is only for replays. So playing the game, it will just flow normally through all parts (the same way it does in the unity version). But, for replays (Mindblowers) each scene will have it's own button to jump right to that. So if you want to view just the Beth segment (for example), there will be a thumbnail to start at that scene (and the option to continue into the next scene at the end). Rather than one long scene.

Keep up the awesome work! Love the renpy port.

Just wondering if it would be somehow be possible, or you'd be willing, to optionally make morticia's body look more loli (depending on the choices at the beginning). It's a real missed opportunity since she's the only girl who can fit this category by her default age, yet her body looks way older. Sad.

Unfortunately, that is well beyond my ability to do, and far beyond the scope of this project, as it would require editing every image/animation she appears in (which is a fair number of them).

Jeez man its only been two day. You are working way to hard.

Alright, QC completed for scenes 1 and 2. Tons of image issues, but got there in the end. Wasn't unexpected that things wouldn't good smooth with the new process but hopefully will learn from my mistakes and do it better moving forward.

Starting in on Scene 3 Family Night Pt 1 - Morticia Undercover. I made some progress into the slicing the images last night (although not very far). I got sidetracked trying to get UAE/UAB (Unity asset extractors) to replace a texture file for condom removal in Beth's scene. But fucking wasted hours on it and just couldn't get it to work. So I think I'll use the excellent suggestion in this post from strenif. I'm not at the scene yet, so actual implementation may vary, and I still might do the animation edit for r3.5, when I have more time.

Anyhow, back to slicing up hundreds of images.

my man is chugging on like a train. keep it up.

Não, a "divisão" é apenas para replays. Portanto, durante o jogo, ele fluirá normalmente por todas as partes (da mesma forma que na versão de unidade). Mas, para replays (Mindblowers), cada cena terá seu próprio botão para ir direto para ela. Portanto, se você quiser visualizar apenas o segmento Beth (por exemplo), haverá uma miniatura para começar naquela cena (e a opção de continuar na próxima cena no final). Em vez de uma longa cena.

r3.4 Progress Report #7 - Dec 10 @ 01:40 UTC (Task List)
Slicing completed for Scene 3 and I'm working on scene 4 (trying to knockout all the image slicing today, then I'm ready to just start authoring hard tomorrow). Scene 4 is going a little slower, because it needs some time intensive image edits.

Thought I would share a preview (org left, edit right):


It was suggested in a previous post (sorry can't find it quickly and didn't write it down like a nub) to choose which Summer is sleeping (and which is awake), while I don't think I'll be able to implement that for this patch, I think it might be something I go for in r3.5 (for Feb/March). So, I'm building my edits to work for either in this scene.

Anyhow, back to cutting images apart and drawing eyelids. Also, dark scenes with gradients succcck to edit.

Slicing and image implementation completed! Wut. Wut! That means I'm all set to go right into authoring (actually attaching the images to the scene) scene 3 tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I can keep the pace and finish off all remaining scenes (it is another 1000ish lines of dialog, every 100 lines is about 2hrs of work on average... so long day tomorrow). I know I have some additional edits I still need to make (mostly "cum in" poses), but I think those shouldn't be too bad, (I can't look at any more art tonight, I've literally been cutting up and sorting images for the past 8hrs).

As of this post, Dec 12th is still looking good, but I doubt it will be sooner than that. I expect all of tomorrow to be spent putting scenes together, then the following day to be QC, and build, and test, and pull my hair out when something that used to work doesn't, the build again, then re-re-test (you get the idea...). So two days at least if nothing goes horribly wrong.

From the outside it might seem as though I've wasted a lot of time with this slicing stuff (and yes, the first day I hadn't quiet figured out the flow, so I lost a lot of time to that), but images are a pretty big part of the normal process, and while the previous method was a bit more straightforward, it's hard to say if it was actually faster. In addition to file size savings there are other advantages when using the images, that were just very cumbersome to do with the old method. I'll most likely keep using it moving forward.

Anyhow... sleep, then back at it in like 5 or 6 hours...

man you really go beast mode! Thanks a thousand times for your hard work!

Dont wanna interrupt, just one question; are the fan scenes going to be included in this update as well? E.g. Beth and Morty scene during game with Planetina?

It must get tiring looking at porn all the time

You're mad

 

[Night Mirror]

Yes, everything from the post is already in the game. I only write patch notes after I complete something.

It must get tiring looking at porn all the time

That is the biggest downside of this project. Moving from player to developer does significantly diminish some aspects of the the game. It's much more difficult to enjoy a scene when you've spent 10-15hrs working on on it and have read it dozens of times.

Also harder to- ahem- "enjoy" a lot of the sexy dialog when I'm the one writing/editing some of the lines. Because instead of "You push as deep as you can inside your mom and spray your balls into her womb." all I can think is, fuck, I wrote that, and it sounds cheesy, maybe I should re-write it? take it out? should I just delete the game?!

But (and it's a big butt (and like big butts and I cannot lie (I also like small butts I'm not shy (I need to get back to work or I'll start to cry (some people like cake but I like pie (alright, no more of that, what the fuck was I saying? (right...))))))), sharing this game with the f95 community has been a (mostly) fantastic experience. So, I'm okay giving up a bit of enjoyment in a porn game I really like, if it means I get to continue posting crazy shit like this. Besides, there are lots of good porn games, so not like I have no other options to, uh, "relax"...

Or, was that a rhetorical question... like "Oh man, it must be hard having your own private jet?"

 

[taglag]

Morty calling each other Bro/Sis, or Morty calling Beth Mommy, was bugging the fuck out of you, selecting the Low

Yeah it does so setting this to low will pretty much do away with that? Just trying to confirm.

EDIT >>> I mean if that is the case, that is like a really good addition.. I find it like Awesome totally Awesome!

Yes. Again it won't be completely absent (that's why it's low, not off), but it is toned WAY the fuck down with this setting.
