Ren'Py Completed Road Trip [v1.7.5 Final] [DimS40]

[boulimanus]

Good effort on taking on this game port.
I remember trying the original and then giving up on all the moving around on a map. This changes it to a point & click which makes it easier, although I think it could still be streamlined further. There could be a menu of options that would take us directly to different active places for example, and remove the map altogether.
Also it seems it's rather early so there isn't that many scenes yet. But worth keeping an eye on. Depending on how long it will take to complete.

Good game, but I'm wondering if it (or the original) has any choices?

I'm only as far as Jennifer giving a handjob while calling her boyfriend, but there seems to be a pattern of her looking at the camera, asking "herself" whether she's going to do something or not, and then just doing it without the player being involved.
I'm not saying that is necessarily a bad thing. I'm just wondering if I should continue to expect a linear AVN where the only player interaction is clicking on people & places... or if the player gets involved in the decisions later in the game.

There are some decisions for the player. In the first part, the story forks into two paths at some point.
But as a general rule most if not all important decisions are made by Jennifer herself and not the player.
There are a few optional events that the player can ignore altogether and there are a few variations of events that depend on choices.
Originally I had put a VN tag on this project, but a couple of updates earlier a moderator removed it.

WHAT THE GOD IS THE ALARM

Can you explain what you mean by that? Maybe then I can help you...

Thanks for trying my game.
The choice for using point and click maps was an artistic one. I feel that using just menus for everything would make my game look like a lazy attempt from my part. Menus are a lot easier to code than making maps and clickable points of interest on them...
As for the level of completion, this project is very near the end of the original story...( I estimate 2 more updates to the end).

" changed significantly the story and dialogues. "
Could someone please elaborate on that?
So basically the same pictures used for different story or expanded on old one?
Is there any particular direction these changes are aimed at? (i.e. more exhibition/more harrassment etc pp)

Is it worth to play both games or is it sufficient to play just one contentwise?

You can try out the original game if you want and have a look at the story there.
As for this project I rewritten all the dialogues and although I kept the main idea of the story, I changed a lot of the reasoning behind the events happening to Jennifer. Character wise, I would say Jennifer is an exhibitionist and there is constant harassment on her that eventually leads to her corruption. I hope that helps...

 

[DimS40]

And the answer is - don't click where it says "West Road" but on the square at the edge. Hmmm.

I'm sorry for that, but in my defence I've made all the points of interest on the maps highlighted when hovered.
I didn't think that this would be a problem for android devices where you use a touch screen and there is no mouse to hover...

 

[Envoye]

Not that I complain, but only 20% size of the original? Compressed or other reasons?

Yes I took the time to post process all the original images and then compress them into a webp format.
That saved a lot of space and although compressed I think that they look better than the original renders anyway...

Can't talk to Drake in his office...

Can't talk to Drake in his office...

I would need some more info about that.
In general to talk to Drake you need to check with Nicole first...
If you did that then it would help me to know how many times you've worked for him, time of day (Drake is available only in the morning), and which path you are on (Kim or Michael?).

Played through the getting even with treasure hunter guy route. Very nice so far. Didn't notice any errors or other issues.

Looking forward to future content!

Thanks for the feedback.
Have you tried the other path? Also do you find the onscreen notifications enough to guide you through the story?

 

[menatv]

Just finished the Kim path a couple of minutes ago. I did come across something which was weird but apparently not repeatable. I was dressed in the red dress to go to see Olaf. It even said I was wearing the stockings. When I got to the cafe, it said I needed to dress for meeting Olaf. When I got back to the hotel, I was back in my office outfit. I tried it again, but it recognized me in the dress and allowed me to go to the cafe. Weird.

But other than that, no other issues. Enjoyed playing both paths. And yes, the onscreen notifications are very useful and was enough for this dense person to figure out what to do next.

I've never came across this before, I'll check if I can recreate this error. (red dress with stockings ?)

 

[menatv]

Yeah, I put on the stockings and the first time around it didn't recognize me in the club dress for whatever reason(s).

And that was only on the Kim/dorm route.

I didn't know that, it's interesting. So I guess there wasn't much content or it all snowballs very quickly at the end?
Just an assumption as I saw her fucked only once so far.

Pretty much your assumption is correct, all the actual sex scenes in the original were at the very end.
That means that almost all the events after this update will involve penetration

Another female mc who is supposed to be at least semi intelligent who proves to be dumb as a brick, I mean who in their right mind is going to take all their cash to the beach, no you leave 90% or more of it locked up in the motel room, maybe hidden in the wardrobe, but take it all with you no.

Have not trried the revamp but did play the origional and the sequal. Are you animating the individual frames? The origional animations were good, just made up of hundreds of still frames, but very smooth once the correct order was done with them
