VN Ren'Py Abandoned Striving Forward [v0.1.0] [Novaporoid]

[JjJ5]

If you have 8GB RAM or more, feel free to disregard my settings and use GraphicsMod. However, I'm running on 8GB RAM without a GPU(-2gb), and Windows 10 is consuming 40% of it. If you're in a similar situation with a low-end PC like mine, here are the character settings for you.

Thank you, I will read the whole thing later.



So, I've decided to include a harem path. What I want to do is just have fun with this VN and I want my characters to feel alive that's why I'm taking my time introducing the characters. I'm excited tbh but there's some anxiety in the mix.



For some reason, there's a harem route now. No NTR/Sharing.

thank you again dev. i hope the best for the development of your game

Everyone looks like an alien-human hybrid. The eyes are way too large.

True

Finally got around to playing this, and I really did enjoy it. I found the office scenes a bit boring but I get it kind of establishes the setting (and doesn't seem like a major focus?) The pub scene after it was nice, and I'm liking the flashback so far. Seems like a game that will be right up my alley, looking forward to future updates


Also I honestly don't mind the big eyes, kind of makes the models stand out from others style-wise (or contributes to that anyway).

 

[ahxjosu]

so harem is in plan?

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The office is meant to be like that for the story (I can't spoil it).
The first day on the job is supposed to be nerve-wracking, isn't it?
I just want to add, you mentioned in the review about the depth of field. I can't help it, my render will look ugly if there's no blur since I'm rendering on the lowest settings. For the eye issue, I guess I don't have a unique style anymore because I already fixed the eyes.

The background is too bright.

Yeah I get that for sure, I guess it was just a little mundane to me maybe. Which makes sense since it's intern office work. I'm nitpicking more than anything on that part. Fair enough on depth of field too, didn't even consider that. Is what it is, I can get over it.

Though I thought it was fine, the change doesn't make it look worse. Honey select kind of is a blend of anime/realistic style models so I'm use to what some might consider oddities about them, like big ass anime eyes. You play a lot of porn games you see a lot of different takes on them.

Yup, I adjusted everyone's eyes.

Update on the story:
I'm adding incest to the game.
Mc's sister only (Her choices are locked on patreon).
She will be introduced later in the game, probably around v0.4.0 maybe even sooner?

damn so nothing with the mom? hopefully you make her a stepmom so we can have content with her

 

[novaporoid]

Going to be a pretty massive update then if 735 images is only 13% of the renders, no? (unless I'm misunderstanding something). That's kind of a nuts render count if so, not that I'm complaining. More power to you

Yup, it's massive, the rendering takes 50% of the whole development process. By the end of rendering, there will probably be around 3k renders or more.


This is the complete list:
Renders 50%
Dialogues 30%
Coding 15%
BGM/SFX 5%
_______________
Total 100%

Ahhh that makes much more sense. I was assuming each one was going to build up to 100% individually, which meant like a 5-6k render count lol. Even still, 3K is nothing to sneeze at. Larger that most single updates by a pretty significant margin. Looking forward to it!
