VN Ren'Py Spark of Joy [v0.011] [Big Chungus Productions]

[mrbigchungus]

Instead of talking shit about non-related stuff, how about some Valentine's Day love?

Whelp, I got you!

Left to right we have:
From left to right, there's Joy, the titular character and current love interest of Jack (he's taking the photo, which is why he's not in the picture). Then there's Becky, Jack's ex-girlfriend. Snow, the heiress to the local tennis club and current situationship with Ruby, the redhead who works at the local ice cream parlor, and finally May, the manager of a local night club.

The preview images are for the full game, not just the demo; so there are images in the preview that aren't (yet!) in the game but will be added to a future version.

Will there be a all-girls path planned?

Will there be a all-girls path planned?

If you mean "Harem," then yes. If you mean like a lesbian path or something - no, since it's a male protagonist, and you play as Jack, not Joy, in the game...so I don't know how that would work out.

Android port?

As a beginning it's very interesting, of course it's only the first stages of the plot, I'm curious to understand how it evolves, and what happens, then I didn't understand the premise, you wrote that 4 women will help Jack from his disappointment, but in the ice cream shop scene, the 4 girls talk about getting revenge on Jack because he left Beck, here I missed the situation.

Thank you for the compliments, it means a lot. My partner, who's making the game, is also grateful.

Regarding the questions:
People can change their minds, no? Or is that somehow not allowed...?

I think that solves for some of your curiosity, for the rest, we'll just have to see (including me, since I'm not writing it, only helping with copy review, and some of the audio).

true, but I don't understand the meaning of your answer.

 

[mrbigchungus]

I'm not writing the game, so I can't speak to what will happen in the story. Personally, I can't wait to see what happens, since it's my partner's first time making a game of this scope, where previously, they only helped me occasionally. So, I shared what I know so far - is that even if you hear bad things about somebody, it's possible to change your mind about them, and not view them as "that bastard who broke my friend's heart," but rather, "hey, that's a guy I might want to date," if he plays his cards right, since you make Jack's choices in game, similar to Horny Holiday.

So I seen on reddit, that name change might be added do to it being a popular request, which is something I would like, I like to self insert.

I would also like to request a name change to the prequel Horny Holiday, If possible(if can't understand, just like to insert myself for immersion), since it's probably not a feature there either, that way I can play the prequel and this game as myself. Just a suggestion.

Love this game so far, very interesting.

Yep, both of those things are on the list; if you read my Discord, you'd see I had a *lot* of feedback on Horny Holiday recently. Due to HHD wrapping up in April, I'll have time & work on Horny Holiday between May & June - that way when I return to Milfy Cases, all the other projects I've got on my plate are remade, in better shape, and have all the options I've now added to HHD - eg, adjustable text size, adjustable text borders, and then some other things, courtesy a discussion in the Her Heart's Desire thread here).

I'm trying to do better at prioritizing stuff I read for game updates, to ensure the experience is as good as possible. I really appreciate you chiming in the thread here, thanks.

Since I created the walkthrough mod for Horny Holiday, might as well continue for the sequel as well.

Walkthrough mod for Spark of Joy.

Of particular note is the added option to skip and win the minigames. And gallery unlocker in the secret cheat menu.

There's a "tell," if you pay attention to Joy's facial expressions, which move she'll make in the Rock, Paper, Scissors mini-game. That's the only minigame that exists so far...so if you're paying attention while you play (I know, not everybody does) then I don't see why you'd need a mod. Of course, if you just want to see the sex scenes without playing, well, sure.

Edit: I forgot about the strawberry catching one. If you don't catch the first one, there isn't any repeat, so just ignoring the screen = advances the game, no mod needed for that. There aren't any good / bad outcomes for it, either.

 

[mrbigchungus]

Something occurred to me that I'm wondering, especially with this game, since there's a lot of action animations in the early parts, unlike my other titles.

Would it make sense to use "hard pauses," in Renpy to ensure people see the animation? Or are people engaged enough they see them, and adding a hard pause would be redundant?

I haven't done this in my games before, and I've seen other folks use the hard pause in Renpy for various reasons, so something I'm curious about. No idea if it's something we would implement (I'm just the editor on this project, and helping a little with the audio).

Also, my partner has a new version in progress, it should be live on Patreon / Steam before Next Fest on the 24th this month.

Updated my walkthrough mod for game version 0.012.

The game script was revised with some new variables added so its best to start again.

I reworked my minigame cheats. It is now a button in my guide instead of a custom menu on screen. I also added a mod settings menu.

Interesting demo and it has my interest. Anyway when those bitches showed up in the ice cream shop I was like hell no.

The ex and her little circle of spoiled rich girls will ruin the MC's life.

My partner's idea was to "introduce the antagonist early," and I think the folks who shared their feedback on Discord especially helped her a lot to make the game much better than the earlier version. For this title, I'm the sidekick and only helping a little bit with some of the audio work, as well as editing. We're happy you enjoyed the demo.
