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

[Acerius]

It also makes no sense to introduce a threat to MC's tenure at camp only a few days into camp. Not only has not enough happened to get any emotional mileage from leaving the LIs, the player also knows the threat holds no weight as there is no way the MC leaves right after getting there. It is just not good writing.

Hold on, "a few days into camp"? Up to 0.5, the entire game has taken place on the first day of the camp! We're just now hitting day two, and the love interests are already attached to the MC like lost puppies.

At this point, I can't tell if the story is meant to reflect the MC's experience or the three years of real-world development time. With this pacing, the devs will be releasing updates from their retirement home!

The renders are great, but the story is sprinting and crawling at the same time!

lol wow you're right. I forgot how little time had passed

How come they are still making animations? Weren't they had completed everything and were polishing and optimizing 2 months ago!!???

This should just shift to being an official wallpaper simulator, at least they come every month

Status Update #54


Hello there!

This week we've continued working with animations, editing, ambience and SFX.

A lewd scene with animations is proving to be slightly painful when it comes to rendering and Iray convergence. And for those who aren't Daz nerds like Npx, Iray convergence is responsible for render quality and noise reduction. More light good, less light bad. Each render will calculate slightly differently, which is forgivable when it comes to singular renders, but with animations it will result in lots of noise and blur if done badly. We've tried a couple of optimizations but so far they've looked like ass in comparison to the normal renders. Wont give up though!

We tried to make animations in 0.5 night scenes but ultimately decided to skip them. One example would be Jenni's scene in the Freya alley, and a couple of animations with Mia at night. We had a couple of questions about these scenes lately after we mentioned our rendering rig, and whether we'll render animations for them. And the answer is yes, we will revisit them and render more animations when possible. Same possibly goes for the first Cassandra scene.

We also have a fresh batch of renders to post-process this weekend and they're looking pretty good. Specifically one of the night scenes is looking great, it's a nice mixture of lighting effects and darkness. Always a joy to play with fir- light.

On the topic of fresh renders, it's been a while, but one of our first special renders was a hot tub render with Ms. Hill back in the day. It was also one of the first night renders! Looking back, it wasn't too bad for a concept and test render. A bit rough, but it worked. Kate's assets floated well already back then. That said, we're happy to say there will be a continuation of this concept render coming soon in the game.

And in case you missed out on the September special with Ms. Hill, you can find her below.
We've been using these little blurred headers as seen above for the announcements on Discord, and figured we might as well see how they look on Patreon too. Just as a little test.

Might be best for y'alls peace of mind to check back 2 months later given that next month is November

Lmao I will come back in next year summer.

Reading this progress report has changed my life. So much information that I thought I would never receive. Life is beautiful.

 

[Scarletthot]

Surely they realize they're now develop this update already more than a year? Why they keep fix or change things that actually not everyone even complain about? Like wtf, i'm not saying i'm against it but are developers really think fix or change things that no one complain about is the right thing to do while they said progress was about 90-95% 2 months ago?

 

[Discrepancy]

Maybe they should stop the weekly reports after this update, doesn't seem they have that much to report on the last ones, and here on f95 they only serve to stir people to complain.
I would change the reports to once a month after this update, at least they would have more to tell each report IMO.

The same as always, only monthly: "It's a 97% complete, but we're still fixing the lighting and looking for ways to reduce noise in the renders. This week we've continued working with animations, editing, ambience and SFX"

I don't think it matters much to them or influences them whether people here complain or not. I'm a huge fan of developers communicating regularly because many fail to do so. However, I've now reached a point here where I wonder if I would have missed ANYTHING if I hadn't read the last 4-5 reports. Most likely not. And that quickly gives the impression of "We're mocking our fans," even though that's certainly not their intention. At this point, maybe they should only post teasers without text and only release a new report when they're finished or have a fixed date with all the important information.

Wouldn't it be better for it to be once a month than 4 times a month then? I don't follow that many game threads here, but the ones I follow that do weekly reports/updates are 2 counting this one. Don't think it's the norm.

That great news. Always felt that Cass and Mia scenes needed a tiny bit more (not sarcastic).

That being said it also mean they gonna spend time on it next update... they need to be careful not to get to overboard with this for obvious reasons. Even me who don't give a fuck what so ever about waiting would like for them to speed up a little bit... and they also promised to be much much quicker with 0.8 so...

Hell yeah! Caitlynn hot tube time ingame? *Fire emoji*? (why is there no fire emoji)

Maybe a little photoshoot session with MC here? Could be a really cool first one for her hehe

I always found it strange (and unfortunate) the handjob was animated but the blowjob was not.

Can't wait for the day AI agents become good enough to write, render and animate these stories. Save players from games like these.

Oh yes let skynet suck all the soul and heart from humanity. Welcome to our next slop overlord, praise be ChatGPT \0/

 

[toddgrayson74]

I mean, they were at 90% two months ago. Like i said other times, they update has been ready for months but they ONLY want to earn money from their subs.
I am 99% sure that they will abandone the game, remember my words.

Be always kind to the AI,

Always be nice to AI...she will remember you later...

They're perfectionnists which is why the renders are amongs the best but also why an update takes forever. It's the usual curse of AVN games with a single or two devs, the output never match the expectations of players, but as long as they have paying patrons the devs are fine. When you follow the AVN scene you learn that deadlines don't exists
