VN Ren'Py Completed Shaping Her Future [v1.0] [Ellaraia]

[lagaard]

So it seems many, many pages back, the dev talked about adding a strip game thing to this... and it was dice based? And in the changelog it mentions a "Dice" was added, but from looking at that unofficial walkthrough a few pages back, there was no mention of it.

Is this some unimplemented content, or just not in the 'free' version?

The Dice game is a random event(you must have the dice obviously). It's not in the unofficial walkthrough since when I wrote it, I hadn't had it occur, and I didn't want to 'cheat'(warp/jump command) to get it to happen. And the images posted a few pages back are from/for the next "public" release(V.8 iirc).

Can you give me an hints on how to trigger it? I don't see the Dice as something you can even buy, so I figure its acquired some other way.

The dice game was implemented in either 0.06 or 0.07, so it's definitely in the version on here. It's available on the fuck-buddy path at around diary entry 7, and you play and get one of two scenes, depending on if you win or lose. Unfortunately, I had some issues in the coding and so it's just look based now. I've yet to remedy this as it's not top of my priorities but I'm making large-scale changes in the next version so I hope it will be better then.

 

[HeavyEavy]

@lagaard I haven't had time to play this release yet... But the Dice used to be at the store, iirc the dice game was something like homeDiceLounge or homeLoungeDice?? anyway you just do a jump to the label in the console.

You have to progress to diary entry 8 in the fuck-buddy path. Then you can purchase the dice. Next raise Sarah's happiness and confidence above 50 and her lust above 80, this will allow you to choose 'Play a Game' when Sarah is watching TV. Win and you get one scene, lose and you get the other.

Does...anyone else in the town buy cupcakes?

Damnit, I completely forgot to watch this thread, and lo and behold, I missed like 20 pages.
From reading the last 2, I assume now is a good time to wait for 0.8 public?

Nope. For each customer I need 4 images and they take 12+ hours each to render, so 48 hours in total. I can't really justify allocating that much render time to adding a new customer. For example, an entire scene with 7 images and an animation usually takes around the same amount of time.

0.10 (0.09 will be skipped) is where the large-scale changes are coming. 0.08 is 0.07 with an extra 2 pet scenes and a new interaction with 3 scenes. There aren't really any changes to the core gameplay.

The point of this mini-game is to grind for money, right? So "customer interactions" are not that important.

The "customer" could just be a faceless crowd lining up to order. Reactions could be simplified to text only.

After grinding for money for a while, I just want the whole process to happen faster. No complex render necessary.

That's just my opinion. Otherwise, I think you've got a great game here.

LOL I am just teasing a bit-I am just proud I have made zero mistakes in the cupcake game for several days, and was just hoping Winter would take notice and test me herself

I'm going to add a skip option. You probably have to complete it perfectly 3-5 times to unlock it.

Why does rendering take so long?

Why does rendering take so long?

That's just how it is. The cafe images are particularly taxing because the scenes are partially outdoor and include lots of props, as well as two characters.

 

[HeavyEavy]

Renders don't take long at all, just a few minutes.... Unless you have light, then it takes for-ever! LOL
The issue is; that it does all of the maths involved for how light will affect and reflect on each object in the "frame", so it has to figure how the shadows and shading will look at a given light level, and based on the light source location and intensity. I remember renders taking 2 and 3 days on a few of the maps I made for Quake. They weren't terribly large, just 5 man PvP maps, about as large as a pitch or football field.

Feedback: I hate the cupcake minigame. It's tedious and unfufilling
