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

[FeartheGreat]

I've never encountered such a problem in development history before. Not saying I am a developer myself but when you think about it, it truly is a unique problem. By that I mean having to stop something you actually want to continue and work more on the story due to someone else's lack of activity updating the original version of the game. I can't imagine how frustrating it has been waiting and waiting for any news and I really feel for you on that front.

Honestly, I'm right there with you when you say you don't want to actually conclude the game yet and would rather keep working on it if you had the option. I know it's been said a million times already, but this is one of the most well written stories I have ever read. More so than what some entire companies spent years on put out. But I understand not wanting to wait around forever as well. If you wait too long, interest (including yours) will eventually wane, and life does go on and other things must be done. Just know that if the conclusion does come around, as much as I will hate that the game ended, I will still support you and your decision to the end. At least this is something that will actually see an ending as opposed to the many, many great projects on the internet that have and will eventually be abandoned.

It will be sad to see the best porn game conclude but I wanna thank you and all the people who have helped you for putting out something great and fun. Its evident that you guys enjoyed this project and it came through in your work. This entire game has been an example of a few people going above and beyond what anyone would expect and even your plans for a conclusion are in the same vein.

I'm gonna hope that someway somehow Ferdafs does come back, purely for selfish reasons, but even if it never happens I just want to say thank you for all that you've done.

And who knows, you might find another game that inspires you to put a NightMirror twist onto it, and if that happens I, along with many other people, will be ecstatic.

Progress Report #2 SEP 18 @ 04:55 UTC:
First(ish) major(ish) milestone(...ish?) completed (I mean, it's actually the second, writing the thing was the first... or concepting it was the first? (Whatever, it's the first one for these progress reports!)). I've finished all the blocking and base image creation I plan on using for this update. There are some things I need to fix (if I remember to), and an animation I need re-animate (doesn't look quite right), but I expect both of those tasks to be a couple of hours at most. So... they'll take me a week to get done...

Next on the task list is posing. Posing is going through and setting expressions for all sprites, as well as creating expressions for the background images (and then setting them too). It is the most tedious task, and usually takes 2 or 3 passes normally. I'm sure I'll struggle through this all next week (and possibly the week after) to get it done.

Once posing is completed, the update is nearing its mostly final(ish) state. Just editing and stuff is left to polish it up (plus all the other crap on the task list). So I'm expecting this to be done well ahead of the Nov release date... maybe?

You might be asking, what then? Will I add more to it? Will I put it out sooner if it's ready?! WHEN WILL JERRY GET PREGNANT?!?!!?

The short answer is: no, no, and also no.

The longer answer is: I'm not adding more content to the current update. I'm not putting anything out until after Nov 4th. And how can Jerry be pregnant? Morty hasn't even had sex with him! Yet... fuck, guess I need to add another scene with Jerry to the ending! What do you mean I don't have the budget?! This game is free! Huh, no, Dan in accounting says no more budge for Jerry scenes... so, sorry no pregnant Jerry, you'll just have to use your imagination... or watch the show opening? That has a pregnant Jerry in it I'm pretty sure....

Anyhow, if things are wrapped up sooner than expected, I'll start working on the next update. Art creation takes a lot of time for me, and as I need a fair number of images for the next part. A head start lets me put off making them that much longer! Wait...

As always, thanks for staying awesome!

If the new season has a pregnant Jerry I will #¤%& myself

 

[ShadowWarrior]

Can't we just get rid of Jerry?

 

[kenta16807]

He's there to fulfill some fetish, who are we to argue with other peoples fetishes ?

Although a pregnant Jerry would be stretching it a bit wouldn't it, but rest assured - there's someone out there that would get off on it

 

[Perfidy]

Jerry gets to fuck his mom.

 

[Night Mirror]

Jerry gets to fuck his mom.

While the show re-use scenes are some of my least favorite, this was one of the few I was hoping Ferdafs would riff on, with Morty getting the fortune cookie instead. Sadly it does seem like we might not ever get more from him...

 

[Devilrv]

Jerry gets to fuck his mom.

If anything it'll be Morty doing the fucking in Jerry's body.

 

[Perfidy]

I'd be happy with just a screengrab from the show of Jerry falling towards his mom, followed by a cut to black and text saying that Jerry did indeed fulfill the fortune cookie's prophecy. I'd have a good chuckle at the least.

Oh snap, I almost forgot to share the most important part of this update! It's something I've been wanting to add since the start of the game, but have never found the right moment to include. So now it has finally happened:

Morty has feet! You won't... be able to see his feet, and it will only be for this one outfit, but he now has feet at last!

Feet enthusiasts, rejoice? I guess?

In all seriousness though, thank you for your work!

Progress Report #3 SEP 20 @ 20:40 UTC:
Posing is still in (slow) progress as I work through the content. I'm most of the way done here with just one last big section to pose. I've also fleshed out a few more images, and added a few I didn't intend to make.

I've also sent out a BETA build for editor review and feedback to make sure the ending is both on track (and makes sense), and for corrections and improvements. It's only a partial build as I haven't finished all the work yet, but better to have something to start work on (I always think).

Overall things are not looking terrible, which is always a plus. This update will be on the shorter side (a disappointment after such a long wait for content, but it is what it is), and the sexy content here is... also small (more story than sex for this part). But, if things go to plan, the ending process will be a bit faster overall, with monthly updates (will see if things go to plan (as always I'll do my best to keep you all in the loop)).

I'm hoping to wrap up posing tomorrow or the day after, then I get to play the content over and over and over, to try and find any problems. Then, when either I'm satisfied (or more likely sick of it) I'll jump on the content creation for r3.8 Part 3.

As always, thanks for staying awesome!

Seeing that the OG Ferdafs version is done in Unity, they might drop it because of the BS around the new Unity policies. I understand why you don't want to either work with Ferdafs officially or continue too much on your own version, but if there's anything we the fans can do to help you in what you DO want to do with this game, let us know.

 

[strenif]

The Unity changes wouldn't effect Ferdafs.

So, on day 16 you have an option to

but then what? I am already at day 22 and there is still no followup on that event from day16. Anyone knows what it leads to? does it even matter?

Sadly, the short answer is that most pregnancy choices don't lead to very much beyond minor dialogue differences. Here is the section from the first post under Genre Details about Pregnancy:

PREGNANCY:
This game features 4 scenes with pregnancy content:

• 1 Scene in which the MC gets a Sex doll pregnant and it has his baby (no visual pregnancy)
• 1 Scene in which the MC gets 1 side and 1 background character visibly pregnant (also includes lactation)
• 1 Scene where the MC can gets 1 side character pregnant (with belly) and has a baby with them.
• 1 Scene where the MC can that offspring (grown up) pregnant too.

Additionally, there is the option for the player to ask some of the girls to take or not take birth control. There are mentions throughout (depending on what the player picked) where girls may talk about becoming pregnant after the MC has had sex with them.

At the current point in time, it is not possible to get other girls pregnant as that content does not yet exist in the Unity game.

I've already talked fairly extensively about why it is the way it is, so if you are curious you can thread search (or look at the FAQ in the first post, pretty sure I talk about it there too (because this question comes up a lot)).

The game is currently in the wind down phase now as Ferdafs has stopped updating, and I do want to expand pregnancy in the game. But that is far in the future, if I can do it at all.

Thank you.

Well, just in terms of minor dialog differences. what kind of minor dialog differences can I expect from that specific choice in day 16?

or are those examples all considered major? and that choice really doesn't do anything much.

 

[Night Mirror]

Well, just in terms of minor dialog differences. what kind of minor dialog differences can I expect from that specific choice in day 16?

The short answer is just dialogue reactions, so it is a very minor choice.

This flag is mainly used to play up or down reactions to becoming pregnant. For most characters, if you like girls worrying about you cumming inside them: No birth control. You want them not to worry? Choose birth control.

The longer answer is: One of the major goals of this project has been to be clear about consequences from choices the player makes (this one seems to be the biggest failure in that respect, so maybe I should put it on my rework tab). There are no surprise anything (if you are playing with spoiler tags on). The same is true here. This wont suddenly trigger some unexpected result later.

You can always use the Do Over menu to undo the choice later if you change your mind.
