HTML Siren [v0.3 Full] [SirenTeam]

[Terakahn]

So the interface is bad. It's all pictures with no indication where you should actually click to do anything. You need text or clear targets to trigger things.

Shops are really bad too. Bunch of items with prices and no indication of stats like in the wardrobe. Needs a lot of work.

There doesn't seem to be much direction. It just drops you in the world. I have no idea what I should be doing or why. There is a quest list but they're all just numbers like a spreadsheet.

And so much of the game is "in future updates". Putting in empty links and places is a great way to get people bored on trying your game

A bing image search is sexier than this. Best of luck with throwing some more trash onto the pile dev.

Hello everyone.

1. Saves will start working normally only after we stop adding anything to the past files, and somehow modify them.

2. About grind, for all quests, you will need to work at work 13 times, buy a dress, and open a room for 500$. So I do not understand what super grind for 4 hours we are talking about.

Passing the cafe line is optional, you can do it if you like, or not if you don't like, it's your choice.

I would also like to add that we are sorry that many people don't like the game. We really try to make a good and quality game, but apparently it's not enough. Have a nice day and I hope you find something you really like.

Q: How do you add new variables to the game?

there is more people who like this game than dont, and the grind aint that bad the people moaning about it are just playing for the scenes (ive played since your day 1 release)

To be honest I think you have a great framework. I looked for the game here after playing the first version on gamcore. I just think the UI needs some work with it not really being clear what's interactable, so you're forced to just click random spaces and hope something works. That and the quest progression is really confusing the way it's laid out, I wasn't really sure which quests I needed to do next or what I should do without clicking one, seeing what the requirements were and then continuing to click through what's until I found the one I was able to do at that moment.

There are definitely games on here I don't like. And in those cases I just unfollow the thread, delete the game, and never think about it again.

Removing "back" arrows is annoying also because there are not enough "Go Back" buttons in UI.
For example clicking on Change Log takes you to the very long text page, and the only way to go back to the game is to scroll to the very bottom of it. And there are many pages like that, when you have to scroll to the very end.
So, if SirenTeam want to be assholes, they at least need to put Go Back buttons on top of their pages.

Just tested it today
- I like the quests mechanics and the XP+perks ideas, but, i am not sure about the decay thing.
- the roaming images are a bit to "cute" for a porn game and break immersion, but this can be worst

That said i could not progress the story after the two firsts quests, the university/cinema is bugged and finish in a black screen with no way to rollback. Look like a required event or image is missing.

Also, the quest mechanics idea is interesting but some quests seem to be missing in the Quest pages.
For example, quest n°3, is nowhere to be seen, but is required for quest n°4.

Dude use .mp4 or .webm files for videos, not flipping .mov files.

What's next, .rm and .avi?

Wow I want to give this a try however at 3 GB download...... no thanks. I can see a Ren'py engine at that but a HTML game thats extremely heavy.

What's the difference? The videos are the same everywhere.
That you download the game on Ren'py, that on HTML, if the video, what's there, what's here will not be optimized, I don't see the difference.

Choosing sex positions in sex scenes is always a no go for me. It's way better to have fully prepared scenes rather than short, repetitive ones where you can choose what's happening.

Difference is simply this:

Ren'Py has a natural habit of being larger at thisstate of a game (( ie Version )) HTML usually run at roughly 750 to 900 MB at this stage.

I have played HTML games that where roughly 500MB switched over to Ren'Py and for the same version they had 750MB om it and those games usually had twice the content

Bro, do you have a 50 GB hard drive? or mobile Internet? That you can’t afford to download 3 GB? If so, then that’s your problem) You make comments about the game, its mechanics, content, and so on) I just don’t understand the comments about the size of the game at all)

 

[crnicerak]

No way saves dont work again I need to play it from the start every update.....hell no

Mia's Room -> Laptop -> Hard Cheats -> XD -> Pick whatever you want : ^)
Tbh wanted to see what is behind the grind - doesn't feel like it is worth it at least for now. After the start the initial game loop feels empty and rather annoying. There's another game with quite the grind, Body Exchange (also Russian/Ukrainian, likely the first given when the dev disappeared), and despite lacking in-between content it does feel just better.
But like, for real, the amount of grind is just unbearable.

P.S. Just put it near the original html file. Pretty sure it doesn't require you to start a new game.

Man, it's not about the engine or your deceptive reasoning.

And the reason is the developer of the game you're playing.
This factor determines how much content you get in the game, as well as its ability to optimize the size of your own game.

There is no need to be stupid users with incorrect prejudices about engines.
The main thing to remember is that the problem is not in the game engine, but in the "gasket between the steering wheel and the seat", I think some people will understand the expressions.
