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

[SakaiY]

Status Report January 2025:
As we close out the first month of the year, it's time once again to talk about the project and what's going on with it. "BUT WAIT! (you might think) isn't it done?! Doesn't it have a tag that says: "Completed" right there at the top of the page?!" To which I would answer yes... sort of? Maybe*?

Before I get to anything else, for those that only care about when, the answer is: I don't know. Sometime in 2025... maybe? I'll get back to you on that. If you don't care about the what or why, congrats! You're done, no need to read on, enjoy the rest of your day!


For everyone else, let's talk "post complete" stuff.

First I want to talk about (reiterate) where the project goes from here. Yes it is "complete", but no it isn't "done". What's the difference? Well to me, "complete" means the main story of the game is all there. You can play it from start to end, and get a full story, nothing else HAS to be added. It has an ending and the main story is complete* (side characters, not so much).

"Done" will be the point I stop updating the game with new content, Ferdafs or otherwise, but we aren't there just yet.


Starting with what content is next.

As I've said before, if Ferdafs puts out a new Unity game version, I'll do my best to integrate it into this game. This assumes that Ferdafs is still on the project and making new content for it... which, I haven't fully given up hope on, but only time will tell.


From my end, the last thing I intend to work on is the Epilogue. It is very, very, very early in production, consisting mostly of scattered notes and a folder with a few reference images. Most of the "work" I'm doing on it, is thinking about what I want/can put into it. The epilogue won't release in parts (like the conclusion), but I don't know how big/small it will be either.

The only thing I know for sure about the Epilogue, is that it will go on it's own "day" (and include (optional) pregnancy content (yay, extra art for past choices, I can't wait...)). Right now, it's all up in the air. Heck, I'm still not even sure I can/will do it. It's still just a maybe for now...


Anyhow, thanks for being awesome!

Hearing that you're planning a epilogue with pregnancy content makes me so happy, I really hope you get to be able to pull it off as best as you want. I've loved the project the whole way through and cannot wait to see what you do with it next. With how much Morticia's wanted it, it caught me off guard to see how things worked out.

Thank you again for all the work you have and will possibly continue to put into this.

Can someone make a Lovense mod for this game

 

[Sandpaper_Masturbator]

With the amount of incest jokes in the series. I'm sure the creator of the series must've been fapping to this. lol

 

[Murcury]

Was the cat girl from the purge episode ever included, or planned to be? Or am I just imagining that.

From NM, not unless Ferdafs does.

 

[hailstorm79]

Best game ever... I can't stop laughing... The sex scenes are a bonus, but the text gets me ROFL. Amazing job! Please keep it up and destroy sandbox games in a good way. You just made this game amazing!
Is it possible to make more days? It kind of left us on a cliffhanger... Just saying!

 

[cooties69]

Hey NM, don't know if it's too early to ask, but if/when we get your Epilogue Chapter, will it cover any of the bonus side character stories? Like Unity, N@zi Dimension, Gazorpazorp, etc?

Still haven't found the drive to do very much on the epilogue yet, so the short answer is I don't know yet.

The longer answer is Unity for sure will be in there, using the body Morty met on the rescue mission. Gazorp is unlikely as it needs new models for the offsprings, plus their story is sort of in the middle and unresolved. Unlikely to touch the fascist universe at all (similar reason). They both might get a mention, but not much focus.. Again nothing is solid at the moment. I have general plans and notes, but haven't even started writing it.

All I want is to face fuck nazi Jessica some more.

 

[Macarro67]

One question, is the game not finished yet or is something still planned?

 

[goloro1122]

NM's ren'py adaptation is complete, if and when ferdafs updates the main unity game then NM might update this one with the new content, but as you know we haven't heard a thing from ferdafs for almost 7 months now, so don't expect anything soon, and for now just play the game and enjoy it for as long as possible, as ferdafs might not return any time soon.

 

[danishfrost]

as far as i can tell GZone isnt much better i mean he said before that it would come out around the end of jan but then after that not much other than an animation of Desiree bouncing on Danny cock people wanting him to tell us but nothing since the 15 but i really fricking hope he will get the lead out soon

Well, speaking only as a fan, I personally would request at least acknowledgement of the events lol. Like a "Don't forget about xevent on yday." But anything you choose to do, I'll play lol.

At the rate things are going my money is on this being the only ending we are getting. Ferdafs is known for going in MIA for months at a time but the same pattern is going on with him that goes on with most patreon games, it gets smaller and smaller updates that take more and more time until it just stops getting updates all together.

Personal opinion is that most of the times it comes down to a combination of burnout and creative block.
A huge problem with about 99% of any of this porn parodies is that they don't really start with a script of the story, not even a rough one so they usually just wing it and try to add whatever they come up with so as time goes on they just get blocked in the story they have been improvising for years. Most people don't understand how hard it is to write an actual original story, even if I use the word original very loosely.
I have played games that yes they completed but you can see how they had no idea what they were going with the story at the start and it usually shows up the longer the story goes on.
Others don't have a story thought up and just use Patreon polls to guide them and just make up something about whatever character they voted on the poll.

I know this are porn games, the writing does not need to be that complicated (although with Rick and Morty it somehow has to be both) but the immense majority of people that work on a porn game have no idea how writing a story works and that is what kills most projects.

Im a lurker, BUT. Fedarf's is still alive. He recently just posted something in his Rule34 account.

do you mean the thing with the 2 summers which i really hope will make it possible to give the other summer another name to make it easier

 

[kenta16807]

Doubt our man posts on r34, the 2 summers one was posted by 'cookieduh' and attributed to F - not his style really...

..or maybe it's Fenkata's style, who knows - she did all the artwork before R&M.

He's not even posting on phatreon....

 

[ericade]

Is there a mod so that when the h scenes happen the girls tits dont magically triple in size? lol

 

[Night Mirror]

The option to rename characters already exists in game. You can rename them the first time you meet or change it via the Do Over menu at any point. Additionally, Wild Summer has a scene in which she can adopt a new name in story.

Is there a mod so that when the h scenes happen the girls tits dont magically triple in size? lol

In the long ago, when I first started in on the Renpy version, this was one of the (many) things I looked into doing (actually, I considered having 3 options: smaller, normal, and bigger). However, it quickly became apparent that it was a monumental task to undertake (on top of re-building the whole rest of the game).

Not counting animations (their own set of issues), or standing models, the game has roughly ~1800 "sexy" images (and 26,852 pngs in total!). While not every one of those would need a "boob edit", it is still hundreds of edits, most likely taking thousands of hours to do across the whole game. Making "things" smaller also requires filling in missing background art, along with drawing them proportionally different (and I'm not very good at drawing things...)

Several people have contacted me about making a mod for specifically this issue, and my answer is always the same: "sure, go for it, good luck!" As no breast size mod currently exists, it seems to be too daunting a task. But you're welcome to give it a try!

Status Report February 2025:
As we reach the end of another month, it is once more time for a status report on the Project. Still no update from Ferdafs, maybe next month? or next... or next? (or never... who knows). If it ever comes, I'll put it in (that's what she said).

I'm still "working" on the epilogue, but not very fast, and not very much. At this point I have a better idea of content/characters/scenes I want to (/think I can) include. Sorry, no spoilers about who or what, because it both may change, and I don't want to spoil it.

I've started some of the writing (not as much as I want), and a few (non-sexy) images. But, once again, the epilogue progress will be slow. Don't expect it to magically arrive in March, or May, or June... etc... The goal is this~ year, maybe?

Anyhow, thanks for being awesome!
