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

[Meabe37]

Anyone else remember when they asked us if we wanted shorter updates with less wait in between and it was overwhelmingly approved of then promptly ignored by them just to continue their slow year long dev cycle?

They do still plan to do this for the next update after 0.7. Last time they talked about this, one of the rare time where they actually shared a little real infos. Basically, as far as i understood, they want 0.8 to be the size of 0.6 but with a dev time cut in two or close to it i suppose. And with the working pace they shown to us before stopping sharing progress numbers, they might almost be able to pull it off. But hey, plans could change again maybe they will be satisfy with how 0.7 end up and just keep going like that. We'll see.

As for this update, they could have done it, a shorter one with smaller dev time. In term of size this update will be much bigger than the last, they were over the size of 0.6 months ago already. But i think ( and this is my speculation only here) that they just want to finish day 2 at this point and deliver something more "meaty" than 0.6 after the "backlash" from it being "to short".
From what we concretely know they aiming for 0.7 size to be around the same as 0.5.

Status Update #42


Hello everyone!

This week we've been focusing on coding, SFX and music. We have a couple of scenes that require new music and we've been searching for the right fit for a while. Originally we wanted to make a short cinematic clip for 0.7 but the scene plays out fine with just renders too. But what if, the voice whispers... Well, maybe another time.

We also worked on a couple of earlier scenes and changed some renders around for better visual flow. A couple of mistakes were also found along the way, and some gaps that could use better transitions for that smooth body language. Moments in general that could benefit from a little extra touch.

For 0.7 we've also adjusted our screenplay style a little bit. Some moments are more sparse than others, mostly to move things along a little bit quicker. We're hoping to hear your thoughts on this approach in the post-update survey as well. How it feels, is it an improvement or a downgrade, etc. It's not too different from what it is now, but thoughts are always welcome and appreciated.

We also finished a big scene this week, and that will get animations next.

This weekend we'll continue the work on Bree's scene as well as some dialogue fixes.

actually they did the short format which is why we got that last update that lasted as long as the ads on my browser with adblocker

You just forget to mention the last upadate was way shorter but it wasn’t released any faster. In fact, it took the same amount of time than the bigger 0.5 update. So no, they didn’t fullfil their promise of shorter but faster updates, not even once.

True, the guy that posted that comment about how the last update was short forgot to mention that it took them a year to release it.

Chickescar is to blame for the fact that the update has not been released yet.

did you hear of this thing called 'immersion' ? otherwise why waste time on realistic models and backgrounds or even toasters?
just give us stick figures, or better just close your eyes and imagine it in your marble!

Next we'll get "Why are the devs wasting time with words? I just look at the pictures"

Well, if you mute the game then no one else could possibly want to hear music.....

The only socially acceptable reason for having the sound on in porn, is if it's hardcore German porn from before the fall of the Berlin wall.

In any other case, it should be muted as per internet regulations.

Poll software is obviously broken. A bunch of Sophie votes must be getting credited to Helen.

Does Eve's route close for good if you bust a fat nut earlier? Even with a good ol' lie?

We won't know until 0.7 comes out but anything's possible.
