Ren'Py Completed Space Journey X [v2.30_023] [y.v.]

[yv0751]

Hi Y.V,
Thank you so much for taking time to replying to me . It doesn't happen often that game devs actually listen to their fans. I think you disabled responses , so Im writing here, sorry

Now, constructive criticism , as you seem like a guy , who can take it, as you are asking for it yourself:
1. Your blender models are amazing! You just lack the good textures, lighting and renders engine . Its an enormous work you did with shaping and modelling though -you are either super motivated or very hardworking.
"Can you let me know which aspect of the 3D Models I made were good and which stuck out as bad?"
Uhm...Ships , stations and interior in general are kind of really bad looking. I know how it is ....raster graphics applied to a smaller object . Your objects are very simple though...like barely recognisable by their shape only. Characters on the other hand are amazing work. Not realistic but sexy enough.

2. Bot parts. Have you tried reducing drop to one item per container? Look, you open a box at day 5 , you see Gen3/Military and the rest of the game is not interesting anymore...like missing the WOW effect. It should be Just like you did with Elite items introduced later on as the game progresses.. Drop should be slow and gradual with scarcity. And fuck those who think its grindy. Your game is HUGE, quest and content wise , I personally played it for like 200 hours probably. Its just the current economy doesn't match the length of the game.
Oh and disable rollback scrolling, please. Its tempting to fix your mistakes - no! Hard love, my friend , hard love!

3. People complain that there is not enough lewdness. With the technology nowadays , its really super easy to do something like that, for example : f67e937b-f597-45b6-ba05-429985c77e08.mp4

So they are right in a way, because your models have an AMAZING potential! Its a shame you don't bring them to life.

At the end I want to say that I simply LOVE your game , as I'm a hardcore fan of Space Rangers, a game I literally grew up with and played countless times. You MUST know what I'm talking about, if you don't ...then its a real miraculous coincidence that your game is so similar.
Let me know if you need a hand with bringing your game to life.

Over and out , ranger !
vaoo

I am quite surprised that the video kept likeness so well. Most attempts I have seen so far morph the characters into realism zone and make it look weird.

How can I get the level 3 voucher for the pet class?

How can I get the level 3 voucher for the pet class?

this is not implemented currently.

 

[NoiVul]

currently.

Scenario ideas, (flimsy excuses for pet training)
1. T'ris makes an offhand comment about being better trained than another crew member and upsets them.
2. Nimhe gets her ponygirl performance disrespected online, because she lacks proper pet behavior.
3. Seraphine finds out someone else is more famous than her at something, like her new maid.
4. Khelara needs to infiltrate some Krell criminal gang and needs a proper disguise.
5. Moira experiences more red tape about her medical status and needs to renew all her paperwork.
6. Ylyee (who has completed advanced according to her dialogue) gets a new mission to the humans and asks for your help, but you propose more thorough preparations.
7. Vee just wants more knowledge and doesn't care what form it takes. But she refuses the training until she becomes convinced she's unexpectedly reverting to a more mechanical mental status, and the only remedy is new types of organic conditioning.

Cloudflare is down for me so something different in the meantime...
(2.30 still on track for public release last week of Nov...)

Almost made me want to rework SJX to retro


And another one...

 

[Test279]

Wow the retro style actually looks really cool. Reminds me of the point and click games of the 90s.

Yeah, it's not just pixelate in Photoshop. There is some AI magic involved.

Captain Jim "Guybrush" Threepwood to the bridge!

 

[EthanB86]

Yea the pixel-grid is off but otherwise its fairly decent actually. might have to do some of my own pixel art again

Sierra OnLine: Space Quest X

The extremely blocky handcrafted fonts reminded me of master of orion 1, definitely relevant to this setting

This looks like it would run on my 45 year old, 8-bit, 6502CPU Atari 400...
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

This reminded me of Diablo 2 remaster, wher eyou can toggle between the remaster graphics, and the old ones, from the original game.

if you had such a mod to change between the current way teh game is built and a pixelated version... would be a funny feature.

Here's some tips for the guys regarding the pictures: 1. Have fun with Tris on the bridge 2. Use the switch at 9:00 PM to spy on Moira. 3. Nimhe and her spy (2 pictures) 4. The Galaxina episode that Nimhe hid 5. And how to increase Nimhe's stats? It's already the end of the game, everything has been completed, but her stats aren't maxed out (Submission and Exhibitionism).

 

[TechnoParagon]

I think if you don't hack the lock on the package you deliver for Nimhe when it is present in her room you get locked out of that image. That's what happen to me. I didn't realize I should hack it right away when in the room with the package. It will disappear later and you don't have a second chance.

Wow, so I would need to restart the game to unlock it.... smfh. Why isn't there a clue in the dialogue? Why the fuck does it have to be a mystery to figure some of this shit out

So you sent the Infiltrator out to get the box, it returned and told you it had the box, the next morning, in your room, is the box... Did you not click on he box and read the "clue in the dialogue"??

So you just went and told Nimhe the box had been delivered? I guess the dev could make a forced look at the box interaction as soon as MC wakes up after daily tasks.. so that it's impossible for this to be missed..

 

[initiated]

I made the mistake of giving the box to nimhe on first try, as well, but i learned it loses you that scene later, and its fun to start new game from day 1 with every new update, so i suggest you to do so regardless, once teh new updates comes out, and V2.30 should go public soon.

In V2.30 you can recover the gallery entry by spying on her nightstand where the magazine is stashed away

Pre AMP +xx ALL is not the best solution. That's what he means I guess with "correctly used".
He already explained this for 0.6 or v0.7 (I'm not sure) but this has been modified in v0.8.

Some specific traits generate an overall value bonus multplier for certain statistics, so basically if you increase these stats you increase the price of the bot significantly.

I haven't looked much at the code of version 0.8 but apparently the ultimate bot would be:

• Full Military Gen 3
• Perverted/Nympho
• Hive Queen
• 5 Likes
• ALL stats as near as possible to 140 (without training)
• IQ max 276
• Compliant
• 4 Pre AMP +3x (in case IQ 276) or 5 Pre Amp (in case IQ 267)

Why this ?
IQ 275/276 are rupture points for the Escape Risk on a Compliant bot. You need to use an Immobilizer Gen 3 Military to get zero or 0.1%

Combo bonus multiplier:
(the exact formula is : Skill value divided by 500 multiplied by Combo multiplier

Nympho + Perverted: price multiplier 1.3 per 500 ALL skill points
Submissive + Perverted: price multiplier 1.2 per 500 ALL skill points
Curious + Perverted: price multiplier 1.1 per 500 ALL skill points

Nympho + Aggressive: price multiplier 1.2 per 500 ANA skill points
Flexible + Submissive: price multiplier 1.2 per 500 BON skill points
Nympho + Submissive: price multiplier 1.2 per 500 ORA skill points
Curious + Nympho: price multiplier 1.2 per 500 SPE skill points
Nympho + Flexible: price multiplier 1.2 per 500 VAG skill points

Personality bonus multiplier:
Celebrity, Comcubine: price multiplier 1.4
Palace Mistress, Voronian Concubine, Krell Concubine: price multiplier 1.5
Princess: price multiplier 1.8
Infiltrator: price multiplier 2.0
Hive Queen: price multiplier 2.5

Anyone know if this is still the best way to build bots? It seems ELITE specific skill boosters give better stats than perversion amplifiers.

Also, anyone know what the "IQ 275/276 are rupture points for the Escape Risk on a Compliant bot" means?

Perversion amps are kinda weak atm. There might be some border cases where one perversion amp can help reach multiple Goddess skills, which would be better than using single skill good amp, but such cases are rare. If you want easily reach 100mil on a bot then the best way to go would be rolling nice traits and personality on a precursor cortex, then using preference cubes for 5 hearts and choosing two skills to make them 500+ with a standard 2 amps for each skill and one immobilizer setup. With some good traits and personality combo you don't even need high int to get 100+ mil value which maxes your arcade earnings.
