Ren'Py Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.62e] [Oni]

[Disco-Inferno]

Fact of the matter is Renpy is a shit engine for this. He'd be better off spending a month to rebuild the game in Unity using a commercial dialogue asset. Renpy is intuitive, but it snowballs out of control the moment you have any sort of non-linear progression and it's slow as shit. He's making a low end developer salary for this, he should be held to basic levels of professionalism regarding scheduling, documentation, coding practices and keeping a changelog that doesn't look like it was written for a middle school science fair project.

That is assuming he knows how to work with Unity.

I agree mostly with what you're saying here but, Renpy can work perfectly fine for this type of game without being slow, it just depends on how well you set up the foundation. Most games like this go to shit in terms of code and performance because the dev didn't have a clear vision and goals already finished before the first "init" was typed onto a script.

And as you said with the money he is making out of this i'd expect to see more consistent and contextual updates. Not the usual barrage of new feature/character hype. Like i said in my previous post... Finish what you got before moving onto to something new.

lmao Gwen is out pacing Storm, what the frig man why do people want such a meme tier girl over delicious grey hair storm?

Because Storm looks terrible in those sketches that were posted.

 

[Semondemon]

Well update Storm & Gwen are neck & neck. Gwen has like twomore votes than Storm or vice versa I hope when Oni calls it, Storm wins ffs I don't want the fourth wall breaking meme spouter.

 

[Thwip!]

It's that time again. I'll post an update every couple of days or so until we get closer to the deadline.

I can't believe Oni is considering Doreen and Lorna -- and Psylocke wasn't even an option!
I was hoping for some of that purple-hair Asian persuasion!

 

[Black-Wolf]

Doreen is in last place...
I'm glad Jubes is popular, she and Ororo would be better than Memepool.

She really does not look like Storm. It's kind of weird how enthusiastic people here are about her when there are also so many comments about how Jean doesn't look like Jean.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if so many people are interested in Gwen because she's a natural choice for a mechanically unusual girl. The first four all play pretty much the same with only minor variations and the different approach taken for Jean seems to have gone over pretty well despite not acting like the typical depiction of the character.

Shame that Tabitha Smith/Boom Boom wasn't even a voting option. She was a top-tier girl in the actual cartoon series. Plus, a shameless, loud, rambunctious white-trash girl would be a fun contrast to someone as uppercrust as Jean or as insecure as Rogue.

 

[yellomit]

Rather than hyping up new girls, he should finish what he already has. It's honestly frustrating for example that Kitty (one of the first characters added) is still missing a ton of key art, same for the other girls, they're all missing one or two poses here and there. The sunbathe option still does not give the girls a tan, they all have disproportionate amounts of subjects to talk about (Jean being the biggest offender here). I can go on... But those are the main things.

Don't get me wrong, Oni has something really great here but, moving onto new things rather than finishing what you already have is only gonna steer the game in the same direction as countless other patreon failures. And that makes me sad

This 100%.

As i said earlier if this Gwen will win, how long will Oni develop her? Because she is already drawn and colored, it will be a shame to wait another 4 mouths.

Me myself all for Ororo or Jubilie

 

[omens12]

Quick question: should I play the newest version of the game; or version 0.984 with the expaned mod?

 

[ShinGouki]

Saw comments that you can vote for multiple women and tried it out. You can vote for every single one of them and have each vote count. Can't tell if that's normal or just Oni coding lol!

It's Oni, even with some art already in place and everything else copy/pasted from other girls it will take a long long time to get anywhere.

 

[Semondemon]

If you take a look at Oni's art for Storm his original rendition, he altered her decreasing her hips, thighs & breasts a bit. That's kinda lame.

A former child street thief(is thhat still the backstory?) would likely suffer from malnutrition and be unlikely to develop big boobs, unless she got a plastic job as an adult.

Personally, variety is the spice of life. Having all girls(particularly with harem gameplay) with bimbo anatomy and orange spray tans would get boring and samey pretty quickly.

Its always good when there are more MILFS

Even with malnutrition it still comes down to genes, malnutrition has more affect on the brain than body in some cases I would assume the X-men Evo Storm is much the same unless Xavier found her much earlier but that doesn't seem to be the case.

How can I go travel back in the classroom from the past?

Only works on mod though. The Danger Room Simulations are disabled if that's what you're talking about. On regular you can only start a new game

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the pictures to see how big of a difference there is?

It'd probably still take him the same amount of time since the only art he's done (assumption on my part) for Gwen is her easter egg bits. This is another assumption on my part, but seeing how the last poll and this one are going, the majority doesn't seem to want Gwen, or at the very least would rather get other girls first.

If I had to bet, I'd put my money on the next poll seeing Jubilee and Wanda being the next ones to go up against Gwen for next pick. All those Storm votes will go elsewhere, probably not Gwen, and that woman will get a massive boost in numbers. In the end who knows though, Gwen could gain massive popularity from out of nowhere and be voted for in a landslide. In the end it's all speculation on who will win, but I don't think we'll be seeing Gwen any time soon unless Oni really wants her in enough to say fuck it and do double the work should Gwen keep losing.

Would be interesting to see the results of a Doreen vs. Gwen poll though, assuming we ever get to the point where Oni stops adding women to the game.
