Porn and Porn games are different if i wanted just to fap i would just watch porn. There are porn games that have serious story and devs put lots of work.
Im looking for games that have something interesting to offer well the dev already said that this game is simple and casual game.
There are many games that manage to implement serious plot and porn scenes very well.
I thought this game is going to be more serious i was disappointed not mad but disappointed.
You compared porn games to porn which is pretty stupid
In my opinion, the "problem" is that in this forum there is no distinction between professional, semi-professional and amateur games.
I consider my game totally amateur and I think it's a miracle I have 350 patrons. I barely do marketing for it because I know it's not a game for everyone, it's just a simple and funny game (for some) with images stolen from Honey Select.
But a lot of people do not know this and I must admit that downloading 2GB and then finding out it's a comedy game that is not taken seriously can make some players angry.
Anyway, I think worse things happen in the world than someone being disappointed with a porn game, so I do not care much about it hahaha.
Walktrought:
1. click with the mouse until you reach the city map
2. search for heart icons on the map
3. click where there are these icons to find events
It's that simple. I think the only two "hard" things are:
a) find Tatiana (study 3x in the library)
b) the Adria books quest (buy the two books, they are available in both market places of the game)
I personally thank you for what you have done! do not think that this opinion is anything to worry about, you have 350 patreons, and they are there because they think you are worth it to them. enjoy that and even those of us that do not support there, there is many of us that would if we could you may be amature, but you do well for that
Heh. It's funny, this is one of my favourite games here. Honestly, there's no game here that I'd play just for the story/experience or game mechanics without the sexual elements; I already have a huge backlog of 'regular' games to get through.
So I appreciate when a game owns up to its nature and commits, instead of sitting on the fence. At one point, I tried editing the script files in Solvalley to smooth out the text, but it just wasn't as funny without the broken language and absurd conversations. Give me a game like this over a wannabe epic any day. Life's too short to take it all that seriously.
In the RPG Maker version this scene ended with the orgy you quoted. In the new there is a bit more story without the orgy scene.
I decided to modify this scene because I received several emails complaining that Lucy was having an orgy at the end. But then I realized that a lot of the players did not care about that either, so I tried to create two modes (vanilla / hardcore) to try to separate these types of things as well as possible.
To this day, however, I have not modified the end of Lucy for the orgy scene to appear in hardcore mode and I do not think I'm going to do it.
This is all the result of my lack of experience. Today I already have another opinion, which is to focus only on one style. If I'm going to make another game besides Solvalley and HS Tutor, I'll choose the style before the game starts and keep to the end without trying to please everyone.
For example, in HS Tutor I'm doing a vanilla game where only mc is male and all the other characters are female. It will be like this until the end. In fact, in this game I'm trying to create something a little more serious than the Solvalley, not that it's a pretentious game, this I'll never do, but it's less frantic and has no sex at every scene.
However, nothing prevents me from creating a game where there is group sex, sharing, etc., which was more of the original Solvalley style. If I do such a game, I'll keep this style from start to finish. But I would say that the chances of me doing this would be small because I'm a little tired of stealing assets and most likely I'm going to stop a bit with these games once Solvalley and HS Tutor are finished.
Tks dev . My English is bad . As I read and understand that scene orgy only appear in hardcore and vanilla is not? Sorry I deleted the game when I finished the game
What? I legit agreed with you that there is games that are well made and with serious stories with em.... What I am saying is that they are not in abundance they are only a small percentage of this site the rest amateur made games I mean to say you wanna play a game for the story and not the porn on a porn site seems rather ass backwards like there are plenty of AAA games that have mature themes and great stories... Maybe I am just confused on what your gripe is with this game the reason most people love this dev is he admits he is amateur and doesn't take himself to seriously which is great.

What I understood from his post is that he was disappointed not because the game is amateur but because the game is not serious. Even because he cites games that are also amateurs and use art stolen from Honey Select (the epitome of amateurism).
Basically he expected a game where there is a deep development of the characters and came across a game where all the girls are insatiable sluts and there are sex scenes every 2 minutes. I have already received several complaints about this and I agree with a lot of them, this makes sex very trivial and ends up taking some of the reward effect.
But I decided not to change that in Solvalley because it is the style of the game and even though it is not very successful, it pleases many people for being simple and unpretentious.

oh sorry then i misunderstood you. But i can say that no all games made by amateurs are terrible. Well most of them are but there are few that are actually making interesting games.
Well i have really no problem with this game i basically only warned people to stay away from this game if they came for more serious gameplay. I have nothing against the Dev he does his job he gets his money people like his game im fine.
All i did was say this game is terrible if u want great story and great characters. The dev understood what i was trying to say.
Maybe by accident i made it look like im hating on it didn't really mean to
"nukige", i.e. the Japanese term for an eroge with a very high amount of sexual content, i.e. fap material, is actually an appropriate way to describe this game

Converting the jpegs and pngs to webp saved 600 megs (1G -> 407M)
Crunching the sounds saved about 15 megs (probably not worth it)
Converting the movies to webm saved 500 gigs (1.1G -> 600M)

Yes, I'll start making compressed versions of the game available as well. I did a test with the Android version (which I did not publish) and the entire game was only 800 MB, compared to the 2.2 GB of the desktop version.

When I was working on the Mac version of RenCruncher, I tested it with Milfy City. It was hard to tell the difference between the original renders and the crunched ones; same for the movies. You might want to compare the image/video quality between the two, and if the compressed version is almost identical, just ship that.

I don't understand how you can say all amateur games are terrible because to be honest pretty much every western made games with the exception of LoP games and a couple others are amateur made games and I hate to break it to you but you are pretty much in the minority if you say
-Dreams of Desire
-Summertime Saga
-Twist of My Life
To just name a few are bad games is just unequivocally false to say that...
Also I think you are in the minority most people play games on this site for the quality of images and fap material first story and gameplay is just a bonus I can personally guarantee that most people are not looking for serious heavy story driven games that offer little to no fap material because most people will take story up to a point but if you are at v.25 without even a hand job or you have only seen one character naked then 90% of this people are gonna get pissed and drop the game.
Many of the popular games try so hard to be "artistic" with many deep layers and profound stories. But at the end of the day, all they really are is just walls upon walls of repetitive drivel that leads nowhere. With very little erotic events or scenes.
I enjoy "the chase" in games, the task and reward... but when a game becomes all chase and little to no payoff then it becomes boring. Let alone the fact that most of those lengthy repetitive narratives only serve to prolong the development time of the game AKA shameless milking.
After the events with Ruzena, Shibuya shows up at the Victoria's bar (where you work to make money) on the second screen (click the arrow when you enter the bar).
Talk to her, then talk to Ruzena again, she will propose a plan to find out why Shibuya has disappeared from the bank. Go home, call Shibuya, she'll talk some shit and ask to live with you until you get some money.
For the second event just go to the house and choose the option "spend the day with Shibuya".
I think the milking is a real problem and the main cause is that the devs charge per month at Patreon. Monthly charging encourages what I euphemistically call "strategic delays." But charging for update also does not change much, since if dev wants, he can launch several minors updates and each one will be charged. And the monthly payment is almost mandatory for adult creators because it's the only way for them to create posts talking about game development (with images +18, for example), without the patrons being charged for each of these posts.
In the end, the only thing that really avoids milking is developer's good intention.
But in my opinion, there are still worse strategies than the simple delay of updates, like cryptic puzzles. Putting cryptic things like passwords to access computers or other areas and "selling" this solution at Patreon is totally unfair to the player. I don't have the slightest sympathy for this sort of thing and I'll never add anything like it in my games. If the dev wants to create areas unique to the patrons, at least do this in the form of updates, not with cryptic puzzles whose solution you will find coincidentally behind a paywall in the dev patreon page...

The saves will appear on page 5. You need to put them in the Solvalley folder, search for users/username/appdata/roaming/renpy/solvalley...
I'm not sure if it's just these files you need, if it does not work let me know. I created two saves, one in the part that the Shibuya is waiting in the bar, another in the part where you call her from her house.
Hello! I'm releasing a new update for Solvalley. But attention, this update is small, has only 4 scenes, and is actually the things I wanted to have added in the last update but did not have time. So I strongly recommend that everyone who has Solvalley 0.9.5 installed that download only the update patch (or the crunched version), not the entire game!
The patch has all the necessary files to run the game except the media files from old versions. This means that if you have 0.9.5 installed, you only need to download the 0.9.9 patch.
In the example below, I unpacked the patch "rar" file and opened two folders. The top folder is Solvalley 0.9.5. The bottom folder is patch 0.9.9 that I just unpacked.
Just select all the contents of the patch and move to the 0.9.5 folder, click on "replace files" and wait for windows to finish the process.
What is the crunched version?
It's the whole game, but with images and videos slightly compressed. The difference is not very noticeable and the gaming experience is pretty much the same. Recommended for those who don't have the patience to download large files on the internet.
I created this version with a tool made by "Bossapplesauce", from f95zone forums.
Next update?
I plan to do another Solvalley update later this month (September, 30). However, in the coming days I will only work on HS Tutor and the Android version of Solvalley.
I will create a new post explaining in detail my next steps.
Bye!
[UPDATE - 0.9.9b has bugfix included so no need bugfix patch] Solvalley: bugfix for version 0.9.9 (Download bugfix patch attached below)
The version 0.9.9 had a bug in Adele's event in the library.
For those who downloaded this version, in this post is attached the bugfix. Just unzip the two files in folder "solvalley/game" (where the .rpy files are located).
enjoy that and even those of us that do not support there, there is many of us that would if we could you may be amature, but you do well for that
