VN Ren'Py Summer Heat [v0.6.1] [Naughty Fox Games]

[flaviopaganini]

What sort of problems were you thinking about? I hadn't really been following along all that closely and only got bits and pieces.

Edit: Also, damn. Thread's just flooding right now. Kind of makes me nervous about playing this update now.

What caught my attention was the slow pace at which the delivery percentage graph was moving, much slower than in previous months, and it didn't match the information provided. I've backed over 40 projects, and many were abandoned along the way, so I'm always cautious when something seems inconsistent. I can say that, over the past year, there's been something strange with visual novel developers. I'm not sure if most were working remotely and had to return to on-site work, but even developers who started in 2020 and now have better equipment are taking longer to complete their deliveries.

The best developer by far is Caribadis. His updates never disappoint. Clear communication No BS. These guys really fucked this update bad

Just my opinion obviously but I’d say Mutt & Jeff are even better

Anyway, I’m just a pirate but yeah this update doesn’t have much for anyone not on the Mia path, unfortunately.

See ya next year, lads.

What a weak ass update. This is not a 10 month update this shoulda been like 4-5 tops.

I don’t think they’re lying about the size of the update or the effort but they are not focused with their creation. Most of these renders are inconsequential. And instead of focusing on the breakfast and making a toast animation, how about some focused and suggestive animations of Ms. Hill cooking the breakfast? There is enough work done here its just not at all in the right places, which hopefully is due to this being their first game but it also brings to question if this is intentional and they are setting up a milk machine. Really hope its not the latter.

It even worse: they are team of two, so divide anything by 2

For example, I know it can't be named anywhere, but Pink Cake is a single developer, Stone Fox Studios are two developers,
My humble advice is that they have to simplify the game more, cut the mundane dialogues as much as possible, and focus on the main plot so that it organically involves the MC, they have to change that policy of 10 months per update, with this latest content being so pyrrhic it's not worth it

Dont. Paynne A good man. He deserves Better. Let him spend the money on something better.

Of course, if I were Paynne I wouldn't pay any more, and now that he confirmed he won't do it anymore it makes me feel a lot of respect for him, I wish the rest of the subscribers would show their displeasure the way he does. I just wanted to know if he was as disappointed as you.

Two and a half years of development and the game barely covered 24 hours, is that correct?

What exactly were they polishing that took so long? Thinking about it now makes me wonder if they were delaying the release on purpose.

Where is part2?

 

[Mars88]

Does anyone know how to get Sophie's "deja vu dialogue"?

 

[MaxRichard]

I just realized I've spent more time over the last 10 months reading progress updates on polishing and messages on this board asking "update wen" than I did actually playing this update

So I'm unwatching the thread and will come back in 2039 when it hits 1.0, assuming it escapes the 99% odds of being abandoned between now and then

 

[MahNinja]

Dumb update. I didn't even cum

 

[AchedCroissant]

and that she is great at observing peoples , she described them perfectly, although I think Sophie fans might not liked it what she had to say about her

That's so sad. True, but very, very sad.

[dotritch]

how much?
1 hour?

Depends on your reading speed, but yeah, I think I finished it in 1 hour

 

[Karan_1248]

Stop milking

 

[ShikkokunoSharnoth]

Does Miller know that we are in a video game, with the MC as protagonist and others as NPCs?

 

[only MILF]

This is how game developers lose the support of their audience and players in general. I am withdrawing support.

I guess we underestimate the influence that money has on the people who develop these AVNs.

Well it felt a bit short yes, but geez you guys a overreacting and freaking out even more than Caitlynn XD

Personally it was pretty much what i was expecting and i had a great time. Really liked all the small details and variations based on all our choices, especially that the game acknowledge solo pathing and reward the players for it with little bits. Hope the game keep pushing this kind of things in the futur and take it even futher ! Harem is so boring and dumb honestly it feel refreshing to have a game who push and encourage commitment to one (without blocking or punishing the typical "go for all" players so that cool too)

As for the visual: it's stunning as usual, completely unmatched i would even dare to say, at least for the renders. Even tho MC hairs are still wet and weird looking for some reason and mike eyebrows are as a uggo as Bella in SG XD

Anyway all the moments with the girl where lovely and/or fun as usual but yeah a bit short so i can understand a bit the frustration, we want moar but peoples should chill imo^^
