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

First time ever commenting on here.

I hate you so much. You couldn't just make a shitty porn parody game, could you? You had to make it engaging, fun, and many times strangely wholesome! Not only the plot is engaging but the characters bounce off each other so naturally, and I could REALLY picture many of the dialogue happening in the show. Hats off to you man, I'm really impressed. And actually heartbroken when I reached the EOC. Can't wait to see what you have next.

It's not a game but some sort of a dirty comic book, looked cool on pictures but is full of incest and repetitive, unimaginative "boy fucks all cause big dick" stories the creator obviously wanted to live out himself but can't because his dick is small... Anyone hot for his mom/sister will enjoy it though.

If you want the game, download Ferdafs version. That has mechanics and a map and tasks and things. This version is that game turned into a visual novel, what you call a "dirty comic book." Incest is very clearly marked in the tags, and as for the rest, it kind of seems like you didn't know you were walking into a Rick and Morty porn parody.

I'm just as annoyed at you for that Magnificent Bait and Switch, to which I applaud at the commenter's review and creativity!

I mean, that is the underlying issue with Android, it works fine for me too. I can't troubleshoot issues I can't reproduce, and don't have error logs for.

Managed to fix the 5-12 minute crashes and now it only crashes every hour to hour and a half. I added or enabled or decreased a a few pieces of code/settings in the options.rpy that forces renpy to use less memory and trash the memory that isn't needed also reduced the images in memory for future display. Surprisingly after a few trial and errors and learning a slight amount of renpy coding it kinda worked. This is what I changed/added in options.rpy:
config.image_cache_size_mb = 128
config.predict_statements = 10
config.manage_gc = True
config.gc_thresholds = (200, 5, 5)
config.mipmap_text = False
config.mipmap_movies = False
config.predict_screens = False
config.max_texture_size = (1024, 1024)

Edit: it's probably extra careful and not efficient at all... But it runs... Also I don't know renpy coding well enough so these settings are probably off.

basically, when it works for you, you did right.
humm you probly want to keep track on your phone's temperatures (especially CPU/GPU/battery) because that could have additional influence on the whole crashing situation. on some stupidmartphones the OS interferes with running apps to shed load when they get too hot, without noticing the user.
changing the 'skip' tab in the options to 'skip transitions' might help, too, if it's the system being to stressed.

Will we be able to get Tricia's mother and female Rick?

My phone doesn't heat up much besides when it charges. Also all I really did was look into renpy and it's settings and learned to correlate what does what and even then I have absolutely know nothing about renpy's code and settings. I did this in a game that crashed every few seconds and now it doesn't crash as often, still testing.

That will most likely be up to Ferdafs. Night Mirror ported the game and gave it an ending with some wholesome morty/morticia action.

An Vindicator-Addon would be nice. We saw so less, also Franks Mom had only 2 scencs.

Patreon update from Ferdafs - They postsed a new standalone animation of Dispatch and they said their going to start using Spine2D, from Live2D, for the animations in the RnM game. On one hand this means, in theory, better animations, but on the other they now have to redo all the ones already made. I'm not familiar with either program, so I don't know how long this would take, give or take, but at least this does mean the game is back in active production.

So best case scenario it's another Summertime Saga.

So best case scenario it's another Summertime Saga.

Ferdafs doesn't have to redo the animations. If he upgraded to the latest version of Live2D, then he would have to update all existing animations, since new version of Live2D is not compatible with the version he started with.

Instead, he has chosen (and purchased (and made two example animations)) a new piece of software called Spine2D, which will integrate into Unity in addition to the old Live2D animations. So, new animations going forward will be done in Spine2D. Old animations will stay in Live2D (at least for now, it would be a HUGE effort to remake them).

It shouldn't effect the main process I use (which is just a screen cap), but it will possibly impact the edit method I'm using to modify animations (which I only really need for either condom removal, or new scenes). But I won't know until I have the next update and pull it apart.

You know what? I'm gonna say it. I think the game's author ships Pinecest. I don't know for sure I just have a feeling... I just have a FEELING he ships it!

But yes, definitely, absolutely, I do. I mean, not just Pinecest, but yeah it's for sure up there for me.


Every gravity falls reference in the Renpy version of this game was added in by me, and is not in the original Unity version. Heck, I did major rewrites to Mabel- er, Morticia, to make her more Mabel like (possibly too much).

It's interesting that you picked that image to emphasize your point, as (true nerd that I am) in the show, Mabel calls Dipper her little brother, since she was born first (five minutes ahead of Dipper). In this game, she calls Morty big brother because: 1) the MC already has an older sister, so this gives him a "little"(/twin) sister. 2) It makes distinguishing them in dialogue easier. 3) It adds additional fetish material into the game.


Lastly (you most likely thought your post would just get a few "likes", but no, you get a billion word thesis response instead), before I stared work on this Renpy remake project, the one I was working on was this:

As always, my art was horrible (awful, just the fucking worst, even now it hurts me to look at it). It was also my first attempt at using Renpy, so the game structure also wasn't great. It wasn't meant to be very long, just a few scenes (maybe 15 minutes), but I couldn't even manage that. Art really is my enemy...

(And, to preempt anyone asking: no, I have no plan to resume work on it (really, I would have to start over), and no, it's not in a good enough state to be shared as anything beyond screenshots. I do think about it now and then (case in point here it is in this post), and I'd love to do a GF project, but again, sigh... art.).


Anyhow, more than you probably wanted to know about my Pincest fetish.

Damn. Interesting old project. I'd like to see a Gravity Falls H-Parody game kinda like this one, a harem-builder for Dipper like this is for Morty, but alas, nobody has ever gotten around to it. I also find twincest to be pretty interesting, and not just as a fetish.
The idea that some twins feel as though they are one soul in two bodies fascinates me, and the way that can turn into a sexual thing is taboo in a very interesting way. It doesn't necessarily imply any victimization, and the mentality of twins being the only ones to truly understand each other makes it something that feels interesting to view as an outside observer, wondering how it must feel to have someone that in-tune with you, finding catharsis in watching such a companionship, its interesting.
I also like the Pinecest ship, its cute and usually pretty innocent, and as a big ASOIF nerd I also find the way GRRM writes the noble incestueous marriages of the Targaryens and the dark and self-destructive relationship between Jaime and Cersi Lannister to be interesting and compelling stories.
Thanks for the interesting explanation, and the great game. You should be proud! I'd be happy if I managed to make a passion project a tenth this good.

Honestly I think that looks good, way better than most of us can attempt to draw. Hell I'm 30 and I've never evolved past stick figure art, while my older sister sketches realistic anthropomorphic wolves. As someone at the very bottom of the artistic scope, I can safely tell you I've jerked off to worse.

If you want inspiration maybe check out Incognitymous's web comics, he does both styles for show accurate Gravity Falls and versions where the characters are aged up. I don't know if he does commissions, but I think you'd like his stuff.

I'd like to see a Gravity Falls H-Parody game kinda like this one, a harem-builder for Dipper like this is for Morty, but alas, nobody has ever gotten around to it.

I would also very much like a game like that! Although, the few GF games that have shown up here haven't been my thing. And, they were all quickly abandoned (a quick search (of "gravity" in latest updates (as much time as I'm willing to devote to this side note)) turns up 3, with 2 abandon, and 1 still going (although, not incest focused, so meh)).

One (of the many) issues is the cast size, with Dipper as the MC the options are: Mabel, Wendy, and/or Pacifica (as main girls), and then... Candy? Grenda? Tambry? As far as harems go that is a small net (yes there are more background girls, but they are very background (or in a single episode)). Sometimes a small cast can be good tho. I'd play a Mabel/Wendy/Pacifica focused game. Someone that can draw get on that for me! Or make it in Unity, and I'll redo it in Renpy!

Again, what I had planned would have been very short, just a few scenes with one/two sexy bits (which I never did any drawings for and only a little writing (I mean, it's shorter in length then the epilogue for this game, and I still never finished it)).

Honestly I think that looks good, way better than most of us can attempt to draw.

I cherry picked the least ugly image (with the first one just being a straight up trace of a screen grab from the show and the second being a half trace of a screen grab and other references).

If you want inspiration maybe check out Incognitymous's web comics

Incog is one of my fav arist out there. While he was doing Brawdy Falls, I was subbed to him. Then Pateron lost their shit and made him pull it down, although it's still up on his site (a search for him in ur engine of choice will find it). I know he's doing another GF comic, but it's less incest focused (still, I'm "enjoying" it).

Again, the best I could really do with Incogs stuff is just trace it. Reproduce what he's already made, but... you know, worse.

Which is sort of the case in this example, where the art I used for the second image is all heavily based off doublepines (who was one of my favorite artists in the Pincest world, but alas seems to have vanished).

I don't know if he does commissions

He doesn't, he has too many other projects. I did ask him (a long time ago) if he had any interest in turning his stuff into a game, but he was very focused on the comic side.


Again, while I have no current plans to work on any new projects (certainly not to do any more drawing), I do still have the game files for the GF game, and it is one I think about every now and then (vs dumped into the trash like other projects). But, my art really isn't good enough, and I really do not enjoy drawing. And as any projects I make here are for fun (and free), I'm not going to take on something I hate doing :x

[Yareru]

Ferdafs had designs made for a gravity falls game years ago. I think he dropped it though.
