Ren'Py Sex and Fantasy - Village of Centaurs [Ep.6 2.0] [Alek ErectSociety]

This sudden change to 3D was a really bad idea from him. I enjoy the game but it legit looks like a "my first asset flip" in a high schooler's project. At least his newer 2D character looks promising with the POV, imo he should just focus on improving his 2D art. The mechanics he want to put in will also delay the game, while I don't think they are necessary.
Did the creator mention how many episodes he plans to do? I tried out the game a few months ago, and I don't want to touch it again until it's done.

I don't follow it closely, because I'd have to be a patron but, this game is currently going through a turning point, creator is remaking it in 3D. Such a very ugly 3D. So you can say that he starts work almost from the beginning, which will significantly extend the creation process. And in the end result, we will get a completely different game, in an ugly world that will destroy all immersion, and consequently the entire game. Read the previous posts and you will learn more.

Don't bother. The dev is unstable. He tried to do two games at once and realised it was too much. Then he took over 18 months of missed deadlines to release basically fuck all. Now he's trying to change his artstyle (maybe, he keeps changing his mind) for no good reason. You'd get more use out of burning your money.
This sucks, the premise was really good since there is no ther game with this focus centaur futa specifically. His artstyle is not bad, but definitely needs improvement to make it more sexually appealing. This means all characters need to be redrawn and their scenes on the top of the 3D environment. This is like a whole new another project from scratch, which will take a long time. At this point I'm positive he should just pay someone to help him.

yeah, I see you have been there for the 2d platformer saga aswell. this is so tragic. all alek needed to do is continue exactly what he did up until chapter 5 release. you put it correctly, the guy truly is unstable. you have to be to fuck up this royally. I have never witnessed it going this badly in any such project. that is personally, I am sure there is even worse out there...
he decided to make some working conversation simulator to make things interesting, i dont blame him, it might be super cool idea in teh end, but i think he should have made up him mind 18 months earlier, then there would be no problem.

You know, I just played ep.6 after a good two years or so of not having kept up with the game - disappointingly short additions from what I remember. Scrolling through Alek's patreon, it's as you say - seems he's designing and implementing a fairly robust dynamic sex system that nobody asked for or cares about. It's honestly a bit sad to watch - the game has completely veered off what it originally was and is tumbling off the cliff of going beyond the original scope.
actually i think his conversation system, or sexual escalation as he calls it, it very good idea, he wants to add randomness and replayability i worry only about his bias towaards all this 3 active 3 passive animations he may end up making them all too alike. with old style game all would lead to adding short stuff on top of short linear game, so his general intention in expanding conversation is good, the point is he should have managed it properly, and not as he did, 18 months of teasing and starting all over again, and i hope he doesnt fuck up some stuff he alreadu did very nicely. and this "2d platformer" we read about from time to time in the thread, that itself blows my mind.

To each his own I suppose, but personally I'll take one well-written and well-illustrated scene over three semi-random scenes just for the sake of replayability, where each semi-random scene is by necessity of worse quality if the timeframe stays the same. Granted, the timeframe is out of the window already - but my point is this whole thing Alek is doing is just unnecessary for this kind of game.
I am not saying it is a bad or poorly-engineered system (I haven't seen its full implementation after all), just that it is completely unnecessary. Still, if that's what he wants to do that's what he wants to do - not like I'm paying him a single penny.
i think if he doesnt make the game look and feel much diffrent from original game, doesnt break akready good established characters, doesnt make interactions feel plastic, and doesnt mess up his art style, it will be an initial sucess. bit worried about these flat and soulless 3d backgrounds tho, but theres nothing that can be done, we can only wait, as he will do as he please, asking for opinions on minor game details.

I read his post on patreon first off for me personally I only play submissive roles, so automatically 50% of the content is worthless to me now
second, 50+ characters? how many of them will be copy/paste or colour pallet swaps with the same sex scenes
third, 40gb+? yeah, I dont even have space on my laptop for it so its an instant couldn't download it even if I wanted too
I am someone who finds a character I like, and I continue to progress the story with that character opening up all sorts of unique sex scenes, why do we need to sex and who has time to try and sex 50+ characters the characters we like and get attached too there is going to be downgraded in quality and I honestly cant even say there will be quantity either because really how many different unique sex scenes can you make?
this feels like a create work project,
create more work for yourself to extend the job

The conversation system is not the issue, it's the literal 2 years this guy wasted our time and money since the last actual reasonable release.
I wrote several pages of arguments against many of those decisions he made a while back (to non of which he had a legitimate counter) which he chose to ignore, only to proof me right and abandon all of it at the end. This was regarding the second game. Then he was doing the same regarding character and background redesign. Though he did listen, if not immediatly, about the character design. So there is a small hope for some sanity left in the guy. I wonder how long it will take for him to regret the 3d backgrounds.
Do you think he will continue with his old pace after the convo system is done? I kinda lost hope. At this point, I would not be surprised if he finishes it and has the grand idea to implement some roguelike mechanics or give every character 4 arms or something...

If he makes such huge changes that the whole game needs to be rebuilt, it's like he's abandoned that project and started making a whole new game, and that's not fair, especially when it comes to patrons. I've already written about how absurd it is to attract people with certain tastes, and then turn everything upside down and piss everyone off. If he dreams of a completely different game that much, should finish this game first. Even if it would be smaller than originally assumed. And only in the next project, make a game in 3D, something like "Sex and Fantasy 2".
I think that it is reasonable to not anticipate anything anymore. look : the guy wanted to make another secont game 2d porn platformer. what? its either greed or lack of reason whatsoever. he wanted to change his art style. he wants to replace backgrounds with 3d renders. he wants to create this converstaion system that is exactly 3/3 - 3 passive, and 3 active anmations. why not 1/5 or 2/4 or whatever? damn. if he doesnt mess up his original concept and mood of the game it will be a great success, seriously. and the fact that he wasted 2 years teasing patrons who gave him money is totally out of question. what else is there to say. its only reasonable now to let him do his own thing and wait to see where it goes. people are still throwing money at him, so its a good thing, right?

I know I have no choice but to wait. There's also no need to get your hopes up, because it's unlikely that something good will come out of it, and even if it's going in the right direction, it's very likely that Alek will come up with something new again, and the game development process will be extended once again. After all, as much as you can work on one game without major effects, one day Alek will lose his inspiration and willingness to work, until he finally says that he's burned out and the game will never be finished. Even he will get bored of it someday. I wanted "Sex and Fantasy" to be like "FutaDomWorld", but in a fantasy world, especially since it had a lot of potential.

I don't recall the scenes with the tree nymph, but I had a similar question a while back on this forum and that's what they advised me to do. "Once you've cleaned up the blacksmith's hut (in between the priestess' hut and Kala's hut) you can grab arrows from the sack on the wall.
Head out to where the boars are in the first time slot of the day and to the right of the boars you should see some furry ass cheeks poking out from above the bushes.
Click on those and it'll start the questline with the Nymph and water spirit."
