incest patch?
such a great vn, but the step thing annoys me
panmzoide
I hadn't thought of that, thanks for the tip!

I just made the necessary changes to the Chapter 2 version and updated it to version 0.21. I also added the incest patch on the first post. You need to:
* Redownload the game on the first page (the incest patch only works on version 0.21 and above)
* Download the incest patch zip file. Unpack it and put the file "zzz_ember.rpy" in the game folder.
* Rate the game 5* if you like it :cool:
* To uninstall, just remove or rename the "zzz_ember.rpy"

Enjoy!

I hope this game would allow players to chose their path and LIs and not forcing towards a certain character or characters. Not really a fan of forced harems or NTR things. But this is just my preference and opinion.

Don't worry, that will not be the case. You can go solo romance with a single of your choosing (with a little twist), there will probably be one f/f/m relationship if you're into that. No harem, no NTR.

One of the items on my to do list was to create an in-game phone for messaging and received images. There were a few existing Ren'Py phones, but I either didn't like them, or didn't understand them. So with a lot of help from ChatGPT, I've built my own! All phone scenes from chapter 1 and 2 were redone, so those will be updated in the next versions. Happy week all!

That's good to know. There are already many other games with harems and NTR, they don't need to be in every game created. But anyway, I'm really enjoying your game and it's one of my favorites so far. I will definitely be heading over to Patreon to support it. Keep up the great work and definitely stick with your vision for your characters and story.

Nah, nothing's wrong with optional harems at all. I'm not sure how it all works, but I imagine it creates an extra workload for creator and consumes even more of their time, just like with adding animations. Especially if there are other obligations in their life like work, school, family, hobbies, health issues, or other real life stuff.

Not exactly. All the routes are already being created. Nothing to say the LIs have to be together with each other. Some small scale dialog to tie it all together. Most of the conversation interactions are reusable sprites anyways. So just new dialog and like an hour of new coding. Its renpy afterall. im working on my own game along with a full time job, believe me i understand what it takes.

I agree that the dialogue shouldn't be a lot more work, except if it is another complete branch to work out. The main problem for me is the art. It might be the same with Daz, but getting multiple and truly consistent characters in a CG with AI is really tricky and takes a lot of work. Especially if you're still quite a noob like me.

Plus, I'm going for a fairly realistic game. A threesome/poly relation is a little bit of a stretch, a harem is quite a bit stretch. At least in my world :ROFLMAO:

oh im not saying you should add it. just that if you wanted to it could be done. do what you gotta do brother lol its your game. eventually my game will have a harem but completely optional and only if you flag it super early (its a hidden unlock)

Hello,
That sounds very good. Unfortunately, perhaps a multilingual option could be added to the game? (Machine translation is already sufficient).
Perhaps so that your game reaches more people?
There you go.
Thanks !

:)

To be honest, translations aren't really on my list at the moment. The game files are not encrypted, so maybe someone could throw the chapter files (chapter1_day1.rpy, etc.) through a translator.

Not sure if it's that simple. There is an Italian translation, maybe check with him? I know there was someone here that was asking around for a French translation as well.

I was wondering how long (estimate) till the next update?
