Ren'Py Sexbot Restoration 2124 [v0.14.2] [squirrel24]

[squirrel24]

Why outside main menu game eats so much CPU?

Upd: scenes with visible clickable images (like photo of bot in sidebar or images in intro) eat tons of cpu.

I am not experienced developing Renpy games and I would fix that if I knew how. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

Will the "black mail" part of the game be forever?

The only thing that is forever is the weekly rent. Everything else is within a quest and can be completed except for 'Freelancer' which is a work in progress.

I just wanted to know if there will always be someone to blackmail the MC, I'm at the part where some guys keep demanding to build fighting robots for them... I wish I could avoid that.

This is a common complaint. Play along, it is a quest and it will end. Be patientl, build your skills, and upgrade your shop.

It's okay then, if there is an end, thank you

Sometimes the psychocore are annoying because of when have bots has capsule of lvl 4 and s rate parts still decreased overtime due manage by bots or mission. It is easy to make money honestly. Since you can obtain rate s bot in the dump site or you can buy bots and train them.

I got excited thinking this was another spinoff of Sexbot by LlamaMann Games. lol
Sexbot, Sexbot: Blackjack, Sexbot Recalibrated...

I'll still follow the thread, though. Definitely not the same thing, but looks promising.

I really reaaly really loved Defective Sexbot Chop Shop' ! i hope this one will be good too! i am still sad that chop shop was abandoned :-(

will Combat Bot play more Role in the game.. ? like KEEPing local gang from hustle MC!

I'm enjoying the game so far, and i appriciate your focus on fleshing out the enviroment, rather than just adding half finished fluff. But like the guy above, i find "combat" robots completely useless, other then escorting me to social training school. Which is also, kinda useless if you have good enough social skill to start off.

They need another use in my opinion.. Maybe add a combat job that gives you some money? Like hiring them out as security for the strip club or something.

I found a small typo in the text in the neighborhood bar.

It reads: "I've learned a lot, should I talk to Earl longer?"
instead of: "I've learned a lot, should I talk to Louis longer?"

Finally found root of problem. In game\modules\0005_core\screens\image_hook.rpy MaxableImage render function calls renpy.redraw which recursively calls MaxableImage.render. Tried to move renpy.redraw into event function like shown in documentation example:

You must be registered to see the links

but it didn't worked - images stopped react on clicks. So I restricted renpy.redraw to be called only once inside render function and added per_interact function which calls render function. Totally don't understand why it works, but it works. Tested old save and new game - images work as before and cpu is calm.

Had to modify the Net Console/BBS script with the additional offers I created..

Each bot has different characteristics, some can do more than others and remain stable. Resistance to stability loss is not related to the bot’s rating.

No, this game is about restoring sexbot not about bot wars, sorry.

Oops! Thanks, I’ll fix it in the next version.

Have you tried the UFC missions?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will look at what you posted (I’m not home to work on it until Monday) and hopefully the next version will be improved. Thank you once more!

Can the MC learn which traits the bot is better or worse with from training since the bot description or flavor text is not the best indicator? Since I have a lot of mod bots it can be hard to track it all and sometimes it does not seem apparent.

Watch their stability loss during training. Compare skill gain with stability loss. The ratio is related to resistance to stability loss. Beware, both are randomized so you have to look for trends over many training sessions. Easiest way is to have bot 100% stable and count how many training sessions you can do until they become "quirky" or lower. Do this a few times with each bot and you'll learn which ones are more resistant to stability loss. (Or you can just open the .json file and look up the value in it! )
