VN Ren'Py Ripples [v0.7.0 Public] [Jestur]

[Ekzou]

Regarding development times I don't care and I don't even want to know if it's difficult for some, easy for others...
That said, some people seem to forget a little quickly that creating this kind of game takes months, even years to produce quality work.


There is time to think and build a complex and credible universe. The writing of the characters, their bonds and relationships and everything that encompasses the narration. Ensure that there are no narrative inconsistencies, or that they are minimal. All this does not happen as quickly as some people seem to believe, despite what may have been read right or left, in a quality AVN.
And I'm not even talking about the art itself, which character should be like this or like that and for what reasons, and the controls so that our much-loved characters don't look like malformed cubes, ...

In short, I didn't want to take part in this exchange, but it seemed important to me to remember that preparing this kind of literary game is not just a few lines of code to type into a program.


That said, for those who are unhappy, remember where you are, and consider encouraging developers so that they have more means to eventually get help from teams instead of crying about development times that are too long.
Should we remember that the majority work alone or in small teams and that people have a life on the side?
Let's just be happy that development doesn't suddenly stop.

It's pretty easy to see how enthusiastic people are for a new update. I only recently found this VN and raced through it so I too am waiting. The reason we want it so bad is because the story and quality are so damn good. Ignore the whiners.

 

[NeoEros]

gonna try the number 8 anyway soon, for the story. Sci-fi/fantasy is my favorite genre, maybe the art style will grow on me too lol.

Definitely recommend this game. I was too hesitant to try it because of the art style, but the story and the worldbuilding... man I don't think any other AVNs can be as sophisticated yet still engaging as this one. A no-brainer must play imo.

oh look a choosing beggar receiving flak for his assumption based comment.

still just talking, the challenge still stands. make a game, be fast about it and rake in the cash. put your money where your mouth is.

Heck, don't make a game. Just name these "devs" that said HS is "so easy" and "so fast".

The current top 15 weighted rating Renpy games on this site says it all

A little bit offtopic, but could you explain to me how to get into this view?

I would assume there's some kind of downloads/thread interaction algorithm that is responsible.

A little less opaque, is select latest updates. on the right side of the screen you'll see a box labeled filters. The filter in category is by default set to games. Underneath that is the filter 'sorting'. By default it's set to 'most recently updated' Left click on the box with a star to sort by 'weighted' ranking.

Just my opinion but the weighted ratings aren't foolproof. For instance 1, 5 and 12 have a lot of 5 star ratings because the reviewers are biased towards more niche kinks. (#1 features cruelty and humiliation towards its LIs and is generally misogynistic, #5 appeals to furry lovers, # 12 appeals to people who want to play as a futa/trans. They won't have as many low ratings because people who don't like those things will just avoid those games. The production values are generally higher over all though for games featuring those fetishes.) #2 and #3 are some of my favorite games on the site. #9 is arguably the most popular adult game there is. Ripples is criminally underrated. Rating isn't everything I've tried 4-star games I've hated and 2-star games I've enjoyed.

If you're just looking for good games to play you might alternatively sort by thumbs up - 'likes.' Between those 2 sortings you'll find a wide variety of good games.

A weighted ranking is basically the same thing that I said, an algorithm that takes whatever weights they give to whatever rankings (thread interaction, thumbs up, etc.) and calculates the displayed ranking. I set these up on the LMS I maintain all the time to provide "featured" content.

So you did, I responded to the wrong comment. I meant to respond to whom you responded to. No offense. Cheers.

the moaning from one of the girls is annoying since it doesnt stop after seeing the scene. She is masturbating in bed at night, and then the moaning keeps going and going, even into the next scenes. how to fix this?

i have reloaded saves, and restarted the game (by closing and reopening). nothing helps.

Exactly what Pax Draconis and tanstaafl added, weighted rating seems more accurate than just simply the full rating of the game because probably takes into account the age of the game the likes and probably other variables. But yeah it is always subjective but gives a general idea of quality and feedback. I can add that I filtered the engine of the game also to only reflect Renpy games as you can see on the bottom right side of the screenshot.

I use that page to check what was updated lately leaving the sorting by date and checking a few more engines like others unity and RPGM because I play a few of those also, instead of "watch" every game I play(ed) to avoid to get filled with notifications, I reserve that only for my favorite games.

looks nice. let's play

First off, it's an honor and a privilege to listen to Tiffany flick the bean for a half hour. You should be counting your lucky stars you got to experience that bug.

Buuut seriously, yea, it is distracting. It's an odd problem, because it's inconsistent. For some reason, that particular sound effect at that place sometimes doesn't respond to the stop command in the script. I'm able to reproduce it sometimes, but other times not.
Anyway, it will stop when you get to the next sex scene which is a pretty early on in episode 4. I timed it pretty conservatively at just under 40 minutes, but even intermediate English learners should read it a lot faster than that. If it gets too annoying though, you can turn down the Voice Volume in Preferences until that next sex scene with Cindy without missing anything really. Or if you can enable the console, you can use the stop hvoice statement to stop that sound loop.

i love those sex scenes but anyone know how to extract them into videos? It would takes long time to manual capture on my screen so maybe someone have an idea?

Personally, I don't know of any other way ... maybe unren and figuring out which files they are?
