Ren'Py Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.64d] [Oni]

[ronchonbon]

ron is it maybe possible to finish the mod somehow? emma sex is unfortunately still missing i'm worried that i might not like the new models i don't want to miss my emma and kitty. that's why i love them so much.
look at my profile picture that's the face what i do when emma and kitty striping in front of me.

Two things:

1. The issue with "finishing" Chonky Mod is that it takes so many of the core game systems and upends them, such that it's difficult to imagine an end state for it that isn't effectively a new game. That's why the mod is so buggy: it would be like if I went into a house that had been built one room at a time by different architects and tried to make it all look contiguous. You don't get very far without destroying a lot of the existing structure.

2. I really, really don't like most of the animations that aren't finished in Chonky Mod. Let's be honest, what fraction of Oni's animations are actually good? The standing sprites, Rogue and Kitty's various poses, and...? It's hard for me to justify dedicating time to the existing art and animations. I've spent too many hours staring at Jubilee's soulless eyes blinking at me while refining the animation code. That's why I started commissioning artists.

If you really don't like the new art but are keen on playing with new mechanics, then you should hold out for the drag-drop mods.

It is indeed great! It's funny, I've always hated his Laura, but I'm all about choice. I'm going to hold out hope that you'll want to use our Laura by the time you see it .

I've been picking and choosing from a wide range with regards to references for the artists. Funnily enough, many of my favorite images of Laura specifically are fan art. Let's chat over DM, it sounds to me like you have some thoughts on the matter!

Few things I'd love to see:
- Tighter abs on Laura (or at least an option for tighter abs)
- Recoloring (on hair, pubes, clothes and even lips, maybe nails but don't care much for nails)
- For the love of god tanning with some tanlines options
- More piercings (lips, nose, belly, etc)
- Some r63 girls? (cyclops, nightcrawler, etc)
- Some kind of progression, like missions or something and hopefully optional (so those who dont care about it dont get tied by it)
- No frog sex pose please

And good luck with the project, I really hope it succeeds, the stuff you were doing on the mod was pretty nice

So is it still going to be based primarily on the Evolution artstyle? For me, the primary draw of the base game is that it's based on one of my favourite shows of the 90s/00s and Evo Rogue's design makes her one the Best Girls of All Time. Losing that would be losing a big chunk of what interests me about the game, and probably a large number of the game's fans in general - goes without saying, but, with all the available alternate versions available, Oni chose the Evolution setting for a very specific reason.

I think it is a very wise thing to be wary of new projects with ambitious goals. It's important to keep your expectations measured, as even best intentions don't always pan out.

You know what? More power to you.

A lot of us have been banging the same drum about certain aspects of the game and if this is what it takes to get the functionality and content we've been asking for for a couple of years now, so be it. I'm interested in seeing the art style for this new game. I'm sure I'll be fine with it either way, but it'll be nice to see if it can stand out enough from Oni's art, while still being somewhat reminiscent.

One thing I don't like is how you're basically "locked in" on certain actions when you're in your room lowering their addiction score. Can't go from in the middle of making out to touching them unless you go the long way of stopping altogether and then continuing when/if she asks for more.

The narrative structure is written out like this:

There is a "main" plot that shapes the game world. Things will be happening in the background/alongside your exploration of the school and the development of your relationships with the characters - how much you choose to interact with the story vs. laser focusing on seducing every single character is kind of up to you, but these story events will provide lots of opportunities to build up your rapport your with the characters. It's possible that some characters will be unlocked as the main plot develops - that's going to be a case-by-case situation and will most likely be used for villainous characters.

Then there are independent, parallel character arcs that develop your specific relationships. This is more like the examples you've given: it's how you'll unlock major milestones in each relationship.

Just in case you're wondering, we aren't keen on endings, and we're also going to keep away from plots that block off certain characters. You'll be able to keep playing in the world as long as you want.

Thank you for your answer. I still don't know if I'll be into that, because some of the most quick fun I've had in the game was cheating the girl's stats to higher levels at the beginning to make them more perverted and get a more active approach from them. But anyways, I'm all around interested in your ideas for the project. Good luck

Speaking of transparency:
-What does Oni do with the $7,835 per month in terms of injecting it back into the project to make QoL and other improvements or is it 100% just for personal use? etc.
-5,408 patrons
- "I hope to have a full version out within a few months"- Oni's favorite words, circa 2016

The updates have just added more girls, so who's to say he won't just finish Jubes and pack it in. I mean he won't cause then he'd have to start something else. Then again who's to say he won't just keep on adding girls and package that as a different game.

Can be mitigated slightly by increasing the girls max actions per period. Also other girls can't walk in on those interactions, at least not on android.

Won't be releasing for a few months due to unknown reasons.

Only finished a single sketch for one pose.

Hey everyone:

I'm *very* aware of lingering concerns about the art style we're pursuing in the new game, so I've whipped up a little demo to show just how easy it will be to use your preferred art in the game.

I hope this also provides evidence of one of the central tenets of this project: we are baking explicit support for mods into the foundation of the game. You don't like a scene, a piece of art, an item in the UI, whatever? Changing it to your liking will be as easy as dropping a folder into the game.

You must be registered to see the links

Go ahead and download the appropriate version of the game from /Current Build/, then download the mod folder in /Mods/. Unzip the mod and copy the /games/ folder into the /games/ folder of the base game.

Load up the game, and you will find familiar versions of Laura and Rogue wandering around (might take some exploration and/or waiting - they're just on a random schedule for now. if you're having trouble finding them, go to one of their rooms and just keep pressing Wait).

I hope this is a source of reassurance .

If I could ask y'all for a favor - I don't intend to spend much time policing rumors here or elsewhere. If you see someone complaining about new art being forced on them (in a free game that in no way blocks access to the original... lol), it would be super helpful to me for you to politely point them to this post.

you just working fine ron and oni i think he working hard do get his art and you too and nice work art you doing no one here ist perfert here ok

 

[Helivesoncemore]

Hey, question. What girls can we expect once this gets going full steam? Just the current ones, minus some, plus some? Sorry if this has already been explained prior
Also Lauras room should be grungier imo

If this is any indication of the character designs, then I also have faith in Chonky.

Maybe just a little bit of froggy? Tsuyu from My Hero has been growing on me.

 

[afedvfe]

Godspeed Chonky, I actually hope peeps will support you as much or more as they support Oni on Patreon, that one is a lazy mofo and I'm jealous I can't be as lazy as him I gotta admit
