Ren'Py Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.54b] [Oni]

[snookums.d.panda]

I'd rather some of my ideas get implemented especially for more money but instead we got the lame-ass pym particles thing; My ideas were help the teachers/lewd if you want for extra cash, become a life guard when your level is high enough & can have girls with you to lewd, another I just came up with is trainer in the danger room you know shit that'd be intrinsic to the game world we're in plus it'd allow you to get into deeper relations with girls AND make you money.

Oh, is there more to spend money on these days? I guess that Jubes & Gwen got clothes to buy and dates are still a thing (but who pays for those, not Zero obviously) so I imagine there is that point where money becomes useless (yeah, still haven't touched the game yet. Was about to, but had the sudden realization to make the tired baseball joke.)

I'd say your ideas are too shabby either, certainly a little more doable that the ones I've been having. I mean, there's this one I have that is both for making money & asserting your dominance at the Institute, because it occurred to me that the best way to become the top dog at a school is not to beat up the star quarterback, but rather to degrade him into a depraved femboy whore. So I'm thinking that using Zero's addiction powers on Cyclops* would give a nice boost to passive income while also telling the school that you are not one to fuck with, and finally get the peace & quiet to maintain Zero's GPA.

[*obviously this all happens in the background and no art is needed, just so we're clear]

Also, I'm thinking it's probably best for all involved if I stay far, far away from Oni's patreon for the foreseeable future. We can agree on that, right?

yeah... lol no.

 

[snookums.d.panda]

yeah... lol no.

Yeah... I'm already regretting that comment as I failed to notice the game now has a female protagonist tag, and I'm now worried that will come back to bite me in the ass (and not in the fun way either) on the off chance that boys will be added to the party once the current pool of potentials runs dry.

That and it's nice to see the Femdom was finally added, as I'm on Night 1 of this run and, staying true to form, Rogue is already barging in on me in the shower. This will be an interesting survival run.

Where is the Android versión?

i agree girls need to be more aggressive if you want to see some shit deny them their chin waggles so they can't get off jubilee will force you to the wall & touch you aggressively it's hilarious.

 

[Helivesoncemore]

So apparently Laura will ask others to join your harem for you if you get her to agree to letting a girl in when she has the cheating talk with you. At least, I don't remember it working like that for Rouge. Realized this when I wasn't getting the girlfriend event with Kitty, so went to talk to her and see what's up, and found out that I was already dating her without knowing. Huh.

So Laura isn't the only one who actively hunts you down anymore? Well, not counting the constant addiction-fueled being dragged to your room I mean.

... why do I have the feeling that when this game finally gets background music, it's gonna end up being some Silent Hill inspired stuff?

 

[Crusader Richard]

I am surprised that almost no one addresses this issue:
I used to enjoy this game on a weaker computer some 6 years ago,
but the feeling is that it has become slower and slower with every release.
The game has become totally unplayable for me:
Any menu entry I click it's seconds and seconds of lag.

A fraction of it has to do with renpy itself not being designed in a way suited for this manner of sandbox, but that's just a fraction of it, not to mention other sandbox games have been made on renpy with acceptable performance. It also has to do with Oni being first and foremost, an artist, and not much of a coder, so you've got tons of redundant and repeating codes attached to each task running in the background, bringing the performance to a crawl.

 

[Kuso1249]

1.2a Works fine or should wait more?

 

[Semondemon]

nah kuso1249 when you fuck gwen's tits your dick clips through them for some reason otherwise I guess haven't interacted with much else besides what little we get for gwen.

Someone should make this horror game.

I totally agree game performance and memory resources usage has crept up with every release and it's become borderline unplayable, which is annoying because the base game while basic (Increase stats = sex) is fun. The only thing that's kept me from trying out new versions (aside from a lack of new content) is the massive fucking lag that happens every time I try to do anything.

I started noticing it ever since Storm was added but I've had massive issues with slowdown even the occasional crash because the game just starts hogging more resources for seemingly no reason. I remember when this game used to eat up 300-ish Mb of my PC's memory worked nice and smooth, then it jumped to 500Mb some slowdown on animations, but still fine if I paced my clicks and actually read the dialog it was barely noticeable. Now on launch it's in the 850Mb range peaking to almost 1 GB duing events with lag spikes. It just doesn't feel worth it. If this game was rendering 3D images or animations I'd blame my potato of a PC but with mostly static images this is absurd. Frankly, after Gwen I hope Oni takes some time to polish the code because at this rate it the new girls he adds will eventually slow shit down to the point we'll all need an i9, with 32gb of RAM and a RTX 4070 to run it.

On my old rig I noticed tons of slowdowns while playing. This new one it has no issues whatsoever but it is asinine that Oni's code is so jumbled up man. Good chance Oni has to rebuild his code base again at some point.

Lets us know how it goes buddy, since femzero actually has a harder time getting any than regular Zero even though you can shower and hang out with the girls way easier.

Wait shit, really?
Laura will really go out of her way to get you new girls to bone?
Attagirl!

I never thought of running MSi Afterburner for a porn game just to see it's performance metrics, but here we are... I'll do my best impression of John Linneman when I'm horny, though. I'm not someone who plays porn games in the morning.

 

[mjob]

why is the game still using old renpy version?

 

[red1988]

not sure but dat new ist duskwolf got a better version here

Interesting, is this also when the "Do you like me?" [Yes/No/Maybe] conversation showed up in the game? While it's showing itself to be an interesting hurdle to get past, the timing of it showing up is fairly random and, more importantly, pretty damn hilarious. Jubes asking that while she literally still has my blood on her lips is a bit much after all.

Still, I'm gonna say that showering is too OP in this game. I was going to start a Zero Hygiene run to test some things out, but now you've got me interested to keep this Lady Zero test game going for a bit longer.

 

[Devilbat]

Hey Guys how are you?
I can't seem to get plan Psi working anymore on this version. And my Emma is level 6.
Does anyone know how I can do it please? Would be much appreciated.

Huh, i wonder if you go the full wizard route like you did with normal Zero, if Laura will still hunt you down eventually?
