Ren'Py Completed Space Journey X [v2.00_010c] [y.v.]

[yv0751]

Cool game, y.v. I've been playing for a while and--because I like to tinker with my games, and have ported my customizations through a few versions of your game here--have a question. Why did you implement the v1.3 "premium" shell stuff that way?

While I doubt there is any performance penalty, it's (to my mind) needless complication when a) the static attributes can be pushed into the base parts inside GAME.sbPartsData, b) addons already had talent boosting implementation, and c) SexbotPart (and other classes) already has generic attr and tags variables for expansion purposes so new specific fields might not be necessary.

In my customizations of previous versions of your game, I had implemented some of this stuff already, and found at least one bug so far in V 130_15d.1 ("agressive" with 1 g in a few strings) while porting my code to this new game version.

Anyway, here is some snippets of my customizations of your code. Ignore or use as you wish. I will provide more if you want--no need for attribution.

Glad you like the game so far.

As you looked into the code you may have noticed sbPartsData is used as read only dictionary for bot part data templates only.
Every ingame bot part is instantiated from that template with random properties to get more variety per clone()

As to the premium shells I wanted a system that gives more freedom to stat etc. changes (like unique items in diablo). Thats why I modified all stat, trait etc variables to be accessed only via query wrappers and can intercept there if I want a specific effect for a premium shell.

I specifically wanted that without modifying the bot (cortex) instance the shell is mounted to as it is annoying to add and then remove data to that part when mounting / dismounting a shell. That data "hard writing" would also be really inconvenient for legacy bots coming in via MV pod, as I would have to run scrubbers for all imported bots.

So thats the idea behind that more flexible premium shell concept.

I think the biggest thing this came is currently missing is variation on sex scenes like every sex scene is doggystyle why not let us pick different positions.

The premium shells aren't a bad idea, you can get a lot of them in late game especially the "G" type since it has nearly the best traits (but again it comes with 2 or 3 random talents and stats).
The "P" shell except for the botskin isn't really a good deal (beside you can use it to make 450+ IQ bot with 0% escape prob but the price doesn't pass 50M Cr).

Overall, I think the stats are still a bit too random especially on the cortex, it's hard to get high IQ with decent talents, and you lose it if you upgrade the cortex. So, I think it would be nice if we could keep the IQ for example (but well, we can still do without).

I also regret the fact that we can't put the Infiltrator in the sex arcade anymore (it was fun).

As for v1.30, a full 'G' elite bot can hit 140/152M while a full elite bot (perverted, nympho, pet, hive queen) without any shell can hit around 150/165M (and I mean a legit bot, I wasn't able to do better atm).

PS: Too bad v1.40 will end the story line, I really would want to see more, it's so fun.

I need help, does anyone know how to raise Nimb's slt to 13? I already did the facial scene with each outfit but it's still at 12. Does anyone know what to do?

Only guess is you might not have done it with all 4 outfits, other than that. I would suggest double checking the walkthrough in the OP.

been struggling to find a good farm for elite bot parts, is there a specific area or a console command?

In v1.30 Elite Bot parts can be farmed from:

• Auctioneer: Random space encounter in Quthor 100-75% zone. Sells one piece at a steep price
• Quthor Loot Bots: Bots in the Quthor Asteroid belt encounter can have random elite parts

With the Auctioneer I've only ever gotten things like the brain, mods, or shells. I've never gotten body parts like heads, torso, etc. And even with the shells, he only sells a limited subset, from what I can tell, not any of the exotic ones like the Protector or Enchantress (if I'm remembering it right). While I understand the desire to make the Elite stuff a bit more difficult to find, right now in 1.3 the number of variables to roll makes getting a top-tier elite body part or one of the top-tier shells as an elite drops the probabilities to basically unobtainable.

I will agree that getting optimal specs would require an insane amount of grinding, or even rerolling of stats via save-scumming or other methods.

However, while there might be a few quests that require specific bot specs. They aren't hard to get and going for optimal specs is not necessary.
There is no achievement for a high spec bot. It's the player's own personal desire to min-max as much money out of a single arcade bot. Anyone can get an equivalent amount, or at least enough to get you through the game. By maxing out the stats of the 20-30 bots that were passed on to get an optimum one.
People are welcome to do it. I mean speedrunners spend thousands of hours shaving off mili-seconds from a run, and as a completionist I understand wanting that 100% file with the best gear, but I also understand sometimes that's going to be an unneccessary time investment.
The game is fully functional and no mission is gated by an uncalled for amount of grinding. So I personally woundn't want the dev to focus on this aside from maybe tweeking some variable drop percentages by 5 or so. The storyline works and you're never starved for money.

If elite gear becomes necessary. I'm sure a new bot crate will come out to make it a manage-able grind.

yv0751 with all that being said, I would up the drop rate of the Golden Seductress shell a little bit for completionist's sake. It took me 6-7 hours to get it even with save scumming and making sure I got a bot container from every possible ship in every single combat. To get it by playing the game naturally...I wouldn't wish that grind on anyone.
