Mod Ren'Py Summer Scent [v0.6.4a] Multi-Mod [Sancho1969]

[SonsOfLiberty]

Great, complex and long game. I'm fascinated with the development of the Mod. It's about 50-60% complete. So many different paths! I don't think I'll be able to dedicate much time to it tomorrow, but I'll probably make a lot of progress over the weekend.

Yes, it's a very complex game (same with the mod since the game is that way), the update before this one closed some of those paths for good.

The problem is, the game is also reworked each update as well.

Another thing I'd like to mention, I know you aren't going to remake his 1:1 scale, but are you going to include his "custom ipatch"?

You should ask in the game thread. This is the mod thread.

Damn lol, my bad

Will the mod be tagged here when/if it gets done?

It is. Well written, with lot's of possible branching. Hard to do. Murray taking on another abandoned mod for a great game.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by '1:1 scale remake'. I'm not remaking Sancho's mod as my style is quite different. I like to give a lot of information but not overwhelm the player with parameter names that don't make sense.
Regarding the 'custom ipatch' I don't see the need for anything like that in the code. This version has a persistent variable that is used only at the beginning of the game to give background to the relationship between MC and Eve. If the Taboo parameter is on, Eve is MC's 'twin' otherwise she is MC's 'neighbor'. Once this background is presented, the protagonists treat each other as siblings, whether they are blood related or not. The Taboo parameter is not mentioned again in the rest of the code.

I'll publish it in the Mods Forum and, if F95 moderators let me, in the OP of the game.
If I don't manage to publish a link in the OP of the game I will publish it in a new post of the game and here.

The game has a lighthouse mode anyway now that lets you pick the path you want, and warns you when you make bad decisions, so a mod isn't so much needed as it was in previous versions, so it doesn't need to be complicated.

The taboo part is new then, as we checked the patch a version or so ago and made some changes since the old patch wasn't sufficient.

My friends,
SonsOfLiberty was absolutely right, this version of the game came with a built in Mod called Lighthouse Mod. The Mod is hardly invasive but it does a great job of guiding you through the options of the chosen path. The only downside I find is that you have to play as many times as you want to follow routes. On the other hand, my Mod gives you a huge series of advantages, including:
...
...
And also...
...
...
So, yeah, developing a Mod for this game becomes pointless with Lighthouse Mod. I didn't realize this until I was well into development, when I started some testing. I'm going to finish it and publish it anyway, I think it's a good complement to Lighthouse since it lets you know in advance which option gives you more points or opens different paths. In some cases my Mod lets you see other scenes that aren't on the chosen route. For example, Kelly's route doesn't open until the night of the 5th and it can only be obtained if the MC has no relationship with Eve or Cassie, but with my Mod... who knows!
So I regret to report that this development has stopped being a priority and only because you can play and achieve everything you want by following the light of the lighthouse.
Anyway, whether with my Mod or with Lighthouse (or both) you must start a new game. If you decide to wait for my Mod you may get some advantage but the game is playable and completable as is.
Best regards,

Murray.

I think one of the benefits of Sancho's mod for this game is (was) the SanchoGallery. There's no built-in gallery in the game, there never was, and as this game is possibly the one with the most branching out there, having a gallery is a welcome addition me thinks. More so than a walkthough, as the lighthouse mode is there already. But the lighthouse mode is not everything a proper walkthrough could be: there are "mysterious branches" in the game, labeled as such, that are not implemented in the lighthouse mode.

I think the lighthouse mod is inferior to this one. This mod also offers a gallery, cheats, better font and just overall a more pleasant experience.

Will be waiting for your mod with paitence.
