VN Ren'Py Completed Rick and Morty: Another Way Home [r4.2.1] [Night Mirror]

[Night Mirror]

Take over? Nah, I'd rather you two team up together. You got a good head for it and Ferdafs would probably be grateful to have a partner.

That's not really something that can happen for this project:

Will you ever team up with Ferdafs?
Short answer, no. Longer answer also probably no. As strange as this may sound, the two games are not really compatible. This is mainly down to two major things. First is the wandering mechanic used in the original game. I'm... not a fan, to be as nice as I can about it, and I think this style inherently hurts the game instead of helping it, so I'm 100% unwilling to reverse course and add it in. Second, is that I have leaned heavily into some themes (incest) that pateron frowns on. And again, I'm unwilling to censor my work.

On top of all that, I'm doing this project for fun, and free. Getting paid for it changing both the expectations and my enjoyment.

Plus, I'm not sure how much people would get out of something like this, it would be a very different dynamic working under someone as opposed to the level of control and communication I current have.

Yeah, I figured. For what it's worth, I respect your effort in all of this.

Thank you so much for such an incredible job, this is fantastic.

Is there a list of funny things the characters say when you write down what you want to call them or what they should call you? Morticia's response to pervy names are pretty good.

This might have been discussed here, but during the mega seeds thing, the images must have gotten mixed up since Morty is talking to Morticia on what to do with the seed, but it shows Morticia with her finger up instead of Morty. See the video I posted for reference.

That's Morty's right hand facing towards her. I agree that it looks kinda wrong, but I have never instructed anyone how to insert a Megaseed into their butthole before.

Don't think I've seen one.

You could always read through 'game/scripts/story/day_0001.rpy' game files are plain text

r3.9.1 - Bug Fix

In the last update, on Day 29 of the game, I had a capture issue with the images (and animations). For whatever reason, the images came out blurry (no matter what I tried). Now that I'm back in my normal production environment, I was able to re-capture them without issue (and then spend a bunch more time re-slicing them, and also, re-doing the videos too).

If you absolutely can't wait for the next update, below is a bug fix for the images. However, they will also be part of the UPDATE only patch file, as well the next update itself (whenever that arrives). In this case I've opted for quality (that being the main issue) over size, so the images in the patch file are uncompressed (video is still compress because it is otherwise 248MBs).

As always, thanks for being awesome!

Good job, man. I am excited for more updates, but I know those are dependent on Ferdafs.

Ive found only one, and thats because im uncreative when it comes to names, doesnt mean i dont try, i just cant come up with anything good, so anyway the one ive found is when choosing what you want to call Beth, and you choose "Mommy"

 

[MalkavianVamp]

I have a question are there any consequences in raping your sister and
Mum in the game in their sleep and creampie them

Apart from potential changes in dialogue, no.

Hey NightMirror could you maybe update the fascist Beth titjob scene so that it uses still images like in the Unity version. Because I feel like the way her whole body moves there kinda blurrs the scene, it is hard to look at it, at least for me.

I'll put it on my todo list for review and see if I can improve it.

Edit:
I looked over the scene, and I think the issue is the time between frame changes. Originally, I used the default (0.5 seconds) for fading between poses, but the frames only hold for 0.75 seconds. That resulted is a very, very small window where the character doesn't move, making things blurry the whole time.

I've changed the fade time to 0.2 second, letting the pose hold much longer between changes (instead of holding for only 0.25 seconds, it now holds 0.55 seconds) which makes things less blurry. I think (hope) this will make the scene feel a little better in the next update.

If you'd like to try it ahead of time and give feedback, file attached:

Thanks, it feels better than before (i think).

Hey Night Mirror, got some of the usual touch-ups for you. I would've done these sooner, but I wanted to wait for the bugfix patch to enjoy the update as god intended.


Day 29: Space Mold

• "(His rythem is all off too.)" should be "(His rhythm is all off too.)"
• "It's stretching me so much, It feels incredible!" second "It" is capitalized.

Day 39: Jessica's Body

• "Wait... are you saying you want to be assimilated again?!" is immediately followed by "Wait, you want to be assimilated again?"
• "Or she can lose herself, watching traffic go buy." should be "Or she can lose herself, watching traffic go by."
• "I have a lot of other cars I can watch when Jessica want's some privacy." should be "I have a lot of other cars I can watch when Jessica wants some privacy."
• "I can also share my senses with Jessica too, if she want's." should be "I can also share my senses with Jessica too, if she wants."

Side note, seems a bit odd that Beth doesn't notice Morty has 3 hands during the motel masturbation scene. That wine must've been strong.

Thanks for the corrections!

The motel scene really pushes the boundary of believablity. While I did try to play up some aspects of it (such as being too dark to see, and sexy noise in all directions), you have to suspend disbelief pretty hard for it to work. Summer, at least, should have figured out out what was going on. But, having other character know wasn't something I felt I could alter for the scene, limitation of adaptation.

Hello, NightMirror, I've noticed one of the alterations from Day 28: Meet The Parents scenes with Tricia taking it vaginal instead of anally is missing from the main changelog for r3.8 / r3.9 when it was first announced. The new changes from previous versions of r3.9 don't include it and checking the day selector and switching updates doesn't seem to prompt the interaction at all. Matter of fact, the flag for it doesn't appear anywhere! Not updated tagged neither.

This is a bit of a mess (I had to look at my own spotty notes (and re-read some discussions)), but here is the gist: the alternate option was removed before release of r3.8P2.

Before Ferdafs vanished, this alternate option was on track to be part of the main game (planned for the original r3.9, which didn't arrive). After a lot (seriously, a crazy amount of back and forth over it), we decided (for a number of reasons) the option for an early vag sex with Tricia just didn't fit (that's what she said).

I didn't want to toss it (and lose the time/effort I'd already sunk into it, as it was done and ready to go, minus editing) so for a time it sat in the game. Then it got shuffled to a replay only option, before sadly being dropped from the update entirely. So, the reason it isn't in the change log, is because it isn't in the game... sort of.

The scene did get an implementation in a future update (r3.8P3), with some changes, morphing into Tricia's segment during the conclusion.

I see, i did read it was a replay option but i couldn't replicate the results in anything so i was scratching my head what the conditions were. Check the logs: nothing. I knew i wasn't crazy because i remembered that being a scene then suddenly it didn't occur after subsequent updates. Appreciate the update and response.
