VN Ren'Py Starship Inanna [v9.2] [Mad Docs]

[drmaddoc47]

Any news when the next update will come out?

Definitely this year, trying to get an alpha this month for Patreon Backers but I have a newborn who is constantly throwing wrenches into my work time. Having to get a second job also doesn't help things.

2020 really screwed up my time and mental capacity to work, and this is a large episode so it was going to take a long time anyway. I've also been working on some scenes and images for Episode 10 and 11 because there's a lot of threads in the next couple episodes that I want to lock down now.

My thank you for letting me know, and Congratulations on the NewBorn. I only Asked cause I know this site is Tag Abandoned Happy, I was just hoping it wasn't meeting the same fate is all.

Games don't get tagged as abandoned as long as the author doesn't disappear/stop communicating with his Patreons/fans for more than a certain amount of time or outright states the game is abandoned.

Shouldn't be an issue here, considering drmaddoc47 is rather interactive with his fans...

Are these Unlockers meant to be Mac OS compatible? 'Cause I downloaded them, put them in the game folder, and nothing happened.... My computer's a Mac, just in case that was unclear.

No sorry but they are only for pc and linux as I don't have a mac to do that.

 

[TheMaker666]

How do make this work?

Put it in the game folder.

Just to kinda give a better idea on why this episode is taking so long for development... Episode 9 Aloshan is already longer than Episode 8 Hegemony (the former largest largest) by a few hundred lines of dialogue/narration... and I have yet to add in the sex scenes, of which there are many. Episode 8 took 8 months, and there was no covid, or second job, or me having a newborn, to hamper it's development. (Of course both episode's also have alternate storylines).

Suffice to say, it's great to be finally approaching the end of development on this one, though there's still work to do before we can even start alpha/beta/public releases.

If I started playing this game now will my saves work with the new update or do you think there will be some breaking between these two updates? Just found this game so I don't know if your updates do this is why I am asking

I've been playing from the beginning and don't remember ever having that problem. I think your probably safe.

Should be good to play, I try very hard not to break saves from previous episodes because so many people have well over a dozen characters at this point.

This is a fun game, but the preferences menu could use a bit of a re-work (to simplify things) and the text in the text box needs to be centred rather than running across the screen, it makes it easier to read and then shows how the text perhaps be broken up. Also allows you to focus more on the artwork rather than having to look at the left side of the screen.
Edit a word or two.

Greetings,

Preferences menu, Patreon code menu, and text customization menu (size and color, not alignment) all have new designs coming in version 9.0. Patreon backers already saw a video of the new UIs in action.

As for the dialogue boxes, I will consider it, it's a thought that had not occurred to me, but I thank you for the constructive feedback.

Consider the way subtitles are used in games, they don't wrap across the whole screen but are centered instead.

When will there be an update?

When will there be an update?

Working on it, got a newborn taking up time and energy and, well, it's 2020. It's going to be sooner rather than later, alpha this month or early next.

Heh. Can't belive it's been 4 years already... Starship Innana happens to be the first 3D sexy game I ever played. And second overall I think - after Slavemaker. Coming back to it after so long feels kinda nostalgic. It's great to see it's still being developed and it's nice to see DrMadDoc still alive&kicking and apparently being a dad now

I wish I could sum up all that Starship Innana means to me, what it gave me and how much of a gateway drug to the wonderful world of h-games it ended up being - but let's say that I wouldn't be writing for sexy games or working on my own VN project if it weren't for Innana. It is a wonderful gateway drug that I've shared with others. It's shown me how good of a storytelling and what great 3D art you can expect from sexy games and it made me realize I could never go back to just regular porn. Because it made me care about it's characters and it's story way beyond it being just a vehicle of sexy smut - and that is why I still replay it from time to time along with some of the best games of my past.

Thx DrMadDoc for keeping up the good work. I can say (without any exaggeration) that it has been an inspiration to quite a few of us. Definitely take as much time as you need with the next episode - we'll be waiting

 

[drmaddoc47]

Thank you very much for the kind words and write up Tyr Unchained Inspiring adult games to be more than just excuses for sex scenes, to see them build their worlds and give characters real arcs beyond their sexuality or the player's sexuality was a goal of mine from the first episode.

As for Episode 9, every single time I say 'it will be released soon' that always slips. This year, this new stage of life... I was blindsided by them both (though I think most of us were blindsided by the year). All that said, I have just told my Patrons to expect to have an incomplete alpha in the next two weeks, give or take a few days. There just has to be some movement and I also need to get feedback, and then I have to keep working on the episode once I get that feedback, and who knows how long fixes and such will take.

Thank you to everyone who understands that things take time, especially when you are a new parent in the middle of a pandemic.

Is it possible to change the location of either the link to the Wiki on the Gallery pages or the pop-up text with the name of the scene? Right now they're on top of one another making it hard to read either. Great game by the way, I love Scify-Star Trek, Outer Limits, Star Wars, etc.
