VN Ren'Py Secrets and Promises [v0.05] [badbod]

[badbod]

Though I was occasionally annoyed at the sheer number of "giggle" and "haha"

Don't worry, you're not the first to mention this (and I agree).
I've actually started to remove the majority of them; it's just going to take a while to go through all the dialogue.
I used them sparingly in the last update.

Damn, I always love Cara and Millie blushing

Agreed. I fucking love the blushing

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out before, but badbod's facial morphs are some of the best I've seen. So much variation in these nuanced expressions that convey all the subtle emotions and feelings the characters are experiencing and they all look incredibly natural. Very impressive skill! Some of these are next level. One of my favorite things about this game!

Yeah man, I don't see anyone else doing this kind of stuff or at least making it so natural.
They also look great even with simple things like smiling.

Or laughing. Chloe is one of my favorites. Just look at this face

But I like the cursive "giggles"

Cum makes them happy.

 

[badbod]

Cum makes them happy.

And that is why I stay the fuck away from AI!
Some creepy shit!

 

[dreddhead]

That's nightmare fuel.

Is that what's happening every time it says "giggles" in cursive?

Millie is overexcited, poor thing xD. But in all seriousness, the latest animations from the VN Mila AI, where they changed the cartoonist style to a very realistic look are mind blowing. I guess it's a process to learn how to use it. The biggest problem seems to be consistency, where the AI will change the face a bit or something. But these things will for sure improve together with better editing tools etc. I have no doubt in the near future most Devs will be using it one way or another. It's crazy the amount of time it takes to animate a scene.

Be careful. Lately, Mods have been nuking AI discussions in threads faster than arguments over what constitutes NTR

Yeah, the emotion and blushes on display are amazing. Big fan of those blushes.

Wait who the heck is that in the last two images? I've never seen her.

Edit: Wait is she in the update? Just realized a new version was released. Badblood is really cranking out the content.

Also if you do not get a lift at the start, you also meet her early.

At the start of the game, either don't intervene when Sarah is harassed at the gas station or don't accept a ride from her. Accept a ride into town from Bill instead and then you'll meet her. Her late game content is fantastic!

Great update! (as always)

I found a few occurrences of the same typo: "feel's" instead of "feels". A quick grep through the extracted code shows this:

locs/lakeshore/replays_dawn.rpy:            dawn "[ss]Damn you... It feel's..."
locs/springhaven/replays_cara.rpy:    mct "... Damn, that feel's nice... "
locs/springhaven/replays_cara.rpy:    car "[ss].....Ohhh, Dad.....It feel's soooo good......"
locs/springhaven/replays_sarah.rpy:    sar "[ss]Ohhh...that feel's good..."
locs/springhaven/replays_mary.rpy:    mar "[ss]....It feel's so good....."
locs/springhaven/replays_mary.rpy:    $ dia = "....It feel's good" + (", Daddy....." if persistent.MaryDaddy else ".....")

I've developed a bad habit of skipping the replay scripts when going through the grammar/spellcheck phase.
Will fix them.

Hello.

I was just starting Boxed In but then saw in the posts here that the Boxed In MC dies some time after that game and some of his LIs now (optionally) get fucked by the MC in this game.

Fine - I always say a dev should make the game they want to make.

But as someone that gets invested in the MC and the characters I now have no interest in playing Boxed In knowing what the future is for that MC and his LIs.
Make fun of me if you want, but after getting invested in an MC and his relationship with his LI/LIs, seeing those LIs in a new game now with a new MC ruins it for me.
(Yes, I know the BI MC is dead - but that was clearly just a plot device to enable the dev to put the BI LIs in this game to be fucked.)

Still vacillating on whether or not to play this one.
I couldn't find any post from Badbod stating if this was a one time thing or if he might bring S&P LIs into future games to be fucked by those MCs.

Let me be clear, I'm not pushing the dev to change what they do.
I am being respectful and trying to determine what content the dev likes so I can decide if they make games I will enjoy.
I get that Badbod is a very good game dev and writer, that thing is just kind of a deal breaker for me.
