RPGM Ren'Py Shadows of Desire [v0.5 T2] [Shamantr]

[capicoli]

Devs thinking about change the engine to renpy:

Guys! Already finished the chapter of Fred's birthday in each route I have an idea since I had many problems with RPG MV, you saw, it has problems with the saves, the gallery, it weighs too much, the animations lag, etc ... and without counting the problems of crashes that I suffer and for which I lose progress.

I was thinking about changing the engine after this update, either to RPG MZ or Ren'py, I already know how to use ren'py so I'm fine, I need to perfect a couple of things but I learned it in a day XD, you wouldn't mind to split the game now?

I'll keep it short and concise:

To save space, I can split the routes, i.e. I will create a project either in Ren'py or RPG MZ for each route, therefore they won't weigh more than 3-4gb per update and the "why there's no new content!?" (they were playing the route that wasn't updated) will finally be avoided.

I can finally change the resolution of the images to 2560x1440p, this will improve A LOT the quality of the images.

In case of doing it in RPG MZ I can add new plugins like accessing the gallery from the menu or even add the Ren'py buttons like back, log, save, etc... in the dialogs inside the events (God willing).

In case of doing it in Ren'py, I can add the gallery from the menu and other things that everyone must already know it.

Bad points of doing it in RPG MZ=
The resolution at 2560x1440p can make the maps look very small as well as the texts (I guess there is a solution with plugins) and maybe the same problems with lag and animations that we're already having in MV.

Bad points of doing it in Ren'py=
The Free Roam feature will be lost (NOT COMPLETELY) and it will become a visual novel, there will still be decisions that change story directions and the movement will be by clicking and deciding where to move, this can have good ideas like for example when Cami is outside the school, instead of seeing a 2d image of it, you will see her with her model and her clothes in that same place, by clicking you will approach and you will be able to talk to her.

This will be an improvement to the game and the bad thing is that it must be done in a different project so the decisions will not be reflected automatically, for this when starting the game I will put options on your decisions that change the course of the story, for example in the cheating path if you saved Jessica or not, if Cami went with the police cosplay to the first party or not, that will make your previous decisions to be reflected in the new project.

Please let me know what you think about this idea and vote which engine you think is better (maybe not the final decision, for now I need to know what you think of this idea), in my personal opinion Ren'Py is more comfortable and I would like it to win but I'm not complaining about RPG MZ, this unfortunately I have to do it because of the weight of the game so far and the amount of problems that many patreons and public users are having because of it and my way of doing animations in RPG Maker, that said, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your support and god bless you all.

NOTE= The visual novel that I will release in a few days is called Between Shadows: Yuria's Passion and is made in Ren'Py, with it you can tell me how it looks and you can get an idea of how SoD will be in Ren'Py, I say an idea because if I win I will improve a lot with Ren'Py and I will try to provide the highest possible quality each update.

Can you hear it? That dark whisper on the breeze.It's saying old saves not compatible.

How do you get the Melissa anal scene with Johnny? It's in the gallery at the end of the Cami blackmail route but I have no idea where it is in the story.

Nevermind i kept playing and found it

Nothing happens after that moment.

Where is the gallery located? If it is the phone, it does not open it.

 

[momoss22]

Anywone have hospital code ?

 

[Krishna teja Ada]

Yaa what's the hospital code share somebody the code

 

[ztSlash]

Try one of these, but I doubt it makes any sense in this patch.

 

[TailsYcs]

Any news worth downloading?

Me too i think it's the end of the update

 

[ilovezxn]

• What's the four-digit code for the hospital?

 

[ahoboman]

Man this update was bad. Shamantr needs to retcon and get like a ghost writer or something. His art is godly but his plot is just down right awful.

 

[Shister]

This dev is retarded. I'm gonna wait for the Ren'Py version.

You want to play with your tinny with one hand and skip with the other. Horny cuck

 

[Inroh]

I don't know how this gallery is supposed to work. It feels like it's missing a ton of scenes. And there are even more pictures in the game files that I have never seen once in game.

 

[TheHuds]

any save continue the story...

 

[lostsoul11111113]

Can confirm it isn't working, even after a manual new game to get the global and config files.

Edit: Try vampire lord save on page 96 it works.

I tried it before posting comment. For me I cant get past the message image from jason. Pressed P and it reloaded and G for "gallery" but with only animations,no text so I dont know the context. Just want to play the game a bit without having to start all over.

 

[sidiouspein]

Gallery mode with only animations and no text.

That sucks!

I want these games to meet the bare minimum threshold of playability. Hopefully that happens down the line.

Homie, the dev has been releasing updates every 1-1.5 months. Yes they are different paths, but they are lengthy updates that are completely different from one another. You're making it sound like your favorite path is only updated once a year, which is a dumbass take.

that's a lie, he does not take 1-1.5 months for an update. its on average 3 months for 1 path. on top of that, hes going to milk his patrons by changing to either rpg mz or renpy, and he also is working on a non canon side story visual novel. what a joke.

You clearly don't know what you're talking bro. I recommend you to check his Patreon to see the release dates of the updates and make the calculations. And also, the visual novel is a side project he's making on Ren'Py (to learn how to program on Ren'Py) that it's almost done. That will also help him make the switch to Ren'Py in case he decides to do so.
