Ren'Py RubyRed Trainer: A BDSM RWBY Parody Trainer [v0.04.2] [Fatbot]

[Fatbot]

be certain those nonsense spouts will show up sooner or later..

well madchef all those pic are still placeholders, i won't hold my breath over those. to me it's still a very early WIP beta, i mean version 0.03x the basics are laid out and the 'rooms' (story/plot wise) appear 'empty' but i see the potential for a rather complex development. we'll just have to wait-see how far that's gonna be filled out with actual content.

now for the latest version Fatbot i played it and actually, i liked it more with the extra bars. to me, feels like something amiss. i liked to see that particular progress, even if the bars weren't linear or accurate, hell it's still a beta game, yet, so i don't expect fine grained.
might be because i'm somewhat of a techie? i want bars i want gauges i want arrows traveling over a scaling, and stuff that blinks at me if some error occurs. i want all of that, even directional gauges for my eyes and hands, G-force display, all that jazz, hehe probly with something like a show-on-hover (i.e. it disappears when the mouse ain't on it) to have less impact on the more important stuff that's happening.
but that's me. i have a display for my PV system right in my living room, next to a 1903 factory clock.
(waifu doesn't mind as long as i don't connect any of those lunch break sirens..)
to feed that crave, i can easily play flight simulators, or war games.. well, none of those bunny hopping aimbot ones, no, i talk planes, tanks spaceships you name it. some reeeally old, non lewd, games.. had that. it's one reason why i still keep ancient hardware running.

Proves you can't please everybody!
I'll look at some kind of "hover for stats" thing, I like that as it could give everyone a compromise

beware that could be really tricky and mess up whatever schedule you may or may not have.
might probly be a good idea to look around F95 for someone with deep Ren'Py insight.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, it's always appreciated.

You're most welcome.

I hope you have pretty much all the story well planned out, at least in your head, and the actual coding is mostly transferring this story to game format. More often than not, porn game devs turn out to have just a good initial idea and quickly run out of creative steam to end up either abandoning the game or piggyback riding on their patrons ideas, which leads to the story evenutally becoming an absurd collection of disconnected scenes.

Having said that, I was wondering if you're planning anal-only sex route for Ruby and her spankable bottom. And by that I mean an intentional anal-only / no-vag route, backed by sound, albeit twisted philosophy, convincing the initially reluctant trainee that while seemingly unnatural and challenging, forgoing her pussy and turning her backside into not just the main target of discipline and punishment, but also the primary pleasure centre can be profoundly rewarding in the long run. Or are you not into that, and PiA will need to be unlocked after PiV?

I'm not structuring the game in such a way as there's a required order of actions.
There will be an order of Ruby's preference, so it'll be harder to convince her to do anal overall but that does mean you can train whichever enjoyment you like into her and ignore the others.
Her development of enjoyment will grow with activity repetition, but only if you make it enjoyable for her.
This also means if you want a Ruby's who's trained into painal instead; by raising her masochism enough, and keeping at intentionally painful anal activity, she'll suffer through a hard ride only to orgasm from the pain.

As to how that plays out in dialogue terms, that's an interesting one. I hadn't planned to explore more specific kinks with Ruby.
But I guess that could appear at later points or possibly with other characters.

The end game isn't a PLOT plot, just to basically have a Ruby you can train up in all sorts of ways.
I took a lot of the inspiration for the game from my love of the game by ONI "Rogue Like", unlike Rogue Like it's the project's goal to simply complete Ruby and have bonus content with Glynda and "Narrator" for the mornings and weekends (and some 3some action with Glynda and Ruby).
Only once that is complete would I look at expansion, at which point (if I have any of course) I'd look to a poll from Patreons to decide which character I added next or if I halted there and started a new project.
It's been discussed before but Yang's semblance and self control stuff screams orgasm control, and Weiss's faunus racism makes her an obvious choice for pet-play for example.
But I'd also be interested in making something with more "gameplay" to it too.

Since this a solo hobby project and not a job (or team) and I have a full time one of those, a home life, and a social life to maintain, it's only ever going to get about 8 hours a week of my time. So the challenge really is going to be the relatively slow pace of development, rather than my ideas falling behind my output.

Check out the OP in the Devlog and you'll see that I've been plugging away at it for about 18 months and have stuck very much to the original project brief.
Subject of which, back to work!

Good point. Maybe I could look at working it in as a QofL improvement post demo.

 

[Fatbot]

Heck yeah!
One, maybe 2 if I'm useless, sessions away from the demo!

All of the Gym 1st level-up skits are complete, and we've got the first pass of concept art.
The team over at LeraMor could not have done me prouder, I'm really enthused to see what they can manage if the funding can build up some

HINT HINT HINT (with associated reminder that this money will be spent on art for the game, not me).

No need for a butt this update, have full frontal nude Ruby and her various costumes instead!

 

[JimmyJeremyJerome]

Please Fatbot. You still haven't fixed the KeyError bug I reported last week. Is this only affecting me somehow? Any time a line is supposed to include a special character like [uniheartF] it throws a KeyError exception. You must be calling them from a library you aren't packaging with the game. It happens very frequently, and it's too disruptive for me to want to keep playing.

 

[Fatbot]

Huh.
Thought i fixed that, it was just a capitalisation error on my end.
I'll not be back at the PC for a couple of days now, but I'll fix it when I get back.
Apologies for the shortfall in service.

 

[JimmyJeremyJerome]

No worries. I just felt sort of ignored there. You should probably do a bit more testing before you publish a release, though. Those sorts of Renpy errors might scare away new players.

Sorry buddy, you're definitely not being ignored!
I've fixed every error you encountered (and the near 70 odd you hadn't) all of which were entirely caused by me being a knob-head.

I think I got all caught up in the sorting the payment method, bringing in our excellent artists, and so on and tried to rush the content.
I've only just resumed real life after a long hiatus, but I'll get back on form.
Once the demo's done I'm going to re-read through all 40,000 lines of code, play every route, and re-read every interaction until I get it running perfect before I move on.

Just for you, and your diligent bug-hunting ways, I have prepared a butt

Fatbot there's another typo in the most recent code:

While processing text tag {i/} in '{i}YOU{/i} are such a fucking...... {i}jerk{i/}.'.:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 6739, in script
    NARRATOR "{i}YOU{/i} are such a fucking...... {i}jerk{i/}."
Exception: Unknown text tag 'i/'

it's just throwing some error, game can be continued with Ignore without apparent child errors. fixed the line locally, all fine.

Thank you!
Found 2 instances of the same error, and 2 of an error JimmyJeremyJerome found over on the Devlog, and fixed them this morning (had a bit of time before work).

That just leaves an infinite loop JJJ managed to trigger during Academic Punishments to find and fix, which I'll try to get sorted asap so I can move onto the Classroom level-ups.

I'm not going to do a full thread update since I'll be fixing the loop and hopefully adding content by the end of Tuesday, but here's the MEGA link to the fix.

Either way you both have earned the traditional butt!
Siblings who get spanked together, learn together.
Although if I'm on honest today's AI Slop of Yang looks more like Princess Peach!

 

[F1forhalp]

that's a nice view!
but take it easy, don't forget to insert a pause into the whole computer thing, i mean like, go outside once in a while. enjoy the weather everyone else is complaining about, or something. i mean.. it's Teh Weekend.

Don't worry about that! Marriage, full time job, friends in multiple time-zones, other hobbies, pets, etc. I squeeze this in around that, not the other way around.

On the subject of which I just dropped the first version of the Demo!
Replete with that last fix JJJ had sent me the save for (indentation issue of all things).

To celebrate let us return to the very first butt we got to slap way back when this was little more than a tech-demo built out of an abortive VN. Glynda's.
Happy Demo Day!

Every time an update happens saves become useless, I just noticed a save from the previous version acts like I never did any of the night events with ruby and makes me redo them.

Hmmmm, maybe an artifact of them being triggers inside the game instead of a property directly associated with the object of Ruby herself.
I'll add it to the Q.O.L. updates in the big pass the demo is now getting.

Thanks for the heads up on it, have a Blake Butt as a reward.
I feel like I've been neglecting poor Blake.

So I've just checked the latest update and really like the way where this is going. Although, there's plenty of bugs (not game breaking though) and it seems that Ruby's maso and horny levels are a bit out of sync with the scenes hitherto written as they change their flavor. On higher levels, I've noticed you can get harsher with the girl much earlier than level up prompts suggest.

Speaking of 'the girl': I've also noticed the narrator tends to refer to her as 'Ruby' almost exclusively, the repetition of which in each sentence can get monotonous after a while. Perhaps a couple of synonyms used interchangeably, like 'the girl' or 'the redhead' wouldn't hurt?

I hope the upcoming updates will be filling out the placeholder training, punishment and sex sessions, as hotdogging only and one variety of spanking so far, as hot as they get the hornier and painsluttier she becomes, are not enough.

Are you planning to create a different set of these scenes for the gym and the academic study?

I really liked the addition of tease and denial to MC's choices, but this needs more content. I was thinking perhaps another hidden stat could be introduced, sexual frustration or something, and depending on your training and manipulation of that you could turn her into a cumslut or an orgasm-denial addict, or--if not managed properly--a semi-frigid, chaste submissive.

 

[F1forhalp]

hmm not sure if i should even mention it..
i do miss the old bars. really alot.
now there's no telling how far the trust has built, and i always liked to check. to me, feels like something missing.

dang now there's the catch22.

All feedback is good feedback!
Now we've hit a live Demo I'm gonna get seriously underway with a full code and dialogue parse, make quality of life improvements, and polish.

Away from PC, but feedback butts are headed your way

 

[Fatbot]

Ok, ok.
It's not a butt.
But it's shockingly wholesome and adorable.
The fact that I was trying to get the Gen to make something lewd is neither here nor there.
