VN Ren'Py Summer Scent [v0.6.5a] [The Naughty Captain]

[Francis Blast]

So, 2-3 more years for day 6. Let's say 7 years for each last day (days 7, 8, 9 and 10 - I remember he once told that the story is supposed to end when their mom comes back home on day 10, unless he decided to shorten the story)...

well, one day he's gonna tell his grandchildren: "you know, grandma filed for divorce because an erotic visual novel took up my whole spare time... it took me almost 40 years"...




It's happening.

To be fair, I think he said that day 6 was the biggest day of the story. He also said that the story would end on the morning of day 9.
So there's pretty much only two days left in the story.
I don't really understand why you would want him to progress faster on the story, though. The longer day 6 is the more content we have to consume and enjoy.

 

[tslojr]

Yeah, because you know, the only thing he does is rendering, right ? He doesn't write, he doesn't create sets, right ?
I feel like you are purposedly misleading.

You said he does way more than a couple renders a day. All I did was show that he does about 3 renders a day. Take that however you want.

 

[Tremonia]

I don't get it. You can read in nearly all threads how people complaining about forced plots without choices, but when there's a game where choices matters and leads to a lot of branching people whine about development times. As if the dev could live from this game and doesn't have to work in his free time on this project.

Dev Update #270

​

V0.6.5...

...Has entered beta. I hope we'll be done with it by the end of the weekend which would mean a release for the $10 tier at the start of next week.

The future.

The game has been rather light on the erotism for the last few updates and that is about to change. As the night is coming, the mood is going to warm up quite a bit. Jack will have a busy night, I can promise you that.

I'm going to review my story map for the night once v0.6.5 is out, but I don't think it will evolve much. The plan is pretty much set, the question is how to put it into action. I won't be able to deliver the content of the whole night in a single update and I'll have to split it path by path, or something approaching.

I'll probably start with the "Eve Love Cluster", which contains the Eve Solo Love, Dual Love, and Weird Triangle paths. I'm not sure how much content that will represent. I have a feeling that I'll know for sure only once I'm done writing it.

I'll try to come up with a more visual explanation next week. That will help us discuss the future content.


The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 5 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 28 and 29.
• Day 6 Part 5 will contain 1 reworked scene: Day 2, scene 2.
• Day 2 scene 2 and Day 6 scenes 28 and 29 have been written, posed, rendered, coded, and post-processed.
• 16 477 words of new content.
• 2715 words of reworked content.
• 6000 lines of code.
• 496 shots are planned, 496 are posed, and 496 are rendered.
• 79 shots of reworked content are planned, 79 are posed and 79 are rendered.
• I'm currently beta testing.

You can follow my progress on this Trello board.

You can also add the game to your wishlist on Steam !

Yeez i have to stop reading these devlogs, i always feel disappointed afterwards ...

... and there are only two days left?! Makes the rework even more redundant lol.

This started so strong and just went ... nowhere ...

 

[Skep-tiker]

Wow, not all content of the night in this update? So Day 6 isn’t finished yet again?

... and there are only two days left?!

apparently you can’t use that as an indicator…

 

[Ottoeight]

Wow, not all content of the night in this update? So Day 6 isn’t finished yet again?

Night?!?!? which night?!? He only added 2 scenes, bro - 1 scene belonging to a certain path only, so most likely you will only play 1 new scene.
Our characters had breakfast 3 years and 4 updates ago, they had lunch 2 years and 3 updates ago, so... maybe they will have dinner together, this time.


Buuuut... what did you expect? it took him 1 year for the morning events, 1 year for the lunch scenes where they meet a totally unnecessary character from another game because of a totally pointless crossover, and finally 2 years for the afternoon and evening events.

Most likely it will take him 3-4 updates and 2-3 years for completing day 6 night events.


But don't worry, we are immortals, after all, and time doesn't matter. And since some users don't get it, our arguments don't make sense.

Two scenes in 15 branches is a little bit more to do and you don't know about how long these scenes are. But do your thing. Complaining about devs who're making their project in free time seems to be the new normal here on F95. No one pays the devs but everyone is expecting a workflow of a Triple-A game studio with 100 people working on a game.

I wonder why stating the facts is complaining in your opinion.

One always complains about facts. Otherwise it's just a lie. And it all depends on the way of expression.

 

[Tremonia]

Stating the facts, of course... You know, the difference of stating facts and coming over like a whiny kid who got robbed their candy is the phrasing. Oh, and BTW, it wasn't all facts.

firefox flagged this as potential malware. I've had that happen before with some WT mods, I assume all is good? I used the GoFile link for Windows.

Same, GoFile got flagged as malware for me. PixelDrain shows clean though. So I deleted the one from GoFile to be safe.

I know reading is hard, and understanding is even harder, but come on guys. This is straight-up lying. With every update he's been delivering way more new content than reworked material. And each of his updates is like a thousand renders and 25 to 30k words of content. That's more than most of the other games out there.
Of course, if you only play a single path, you will be disappointed. But it's not a reason to lie.
His dev updates are very transparent about how he works, and if you have read them, you know he does way more than a few words and a couple of renders per day.

That's a bold-faced lie! I supported him for years until he started to rework more and more, create less and less and become slower and slower! This game has been stuck for years and we just wait and wait and wait and wait. It's unbelievable that there are users like you who defend this slowness! Just crazy!

Just check out this developer to see how to do it right! https://f95zone.to/threads/eruption-imminent-v0-5-0-morriganrae.160930/

11-14 renders per day and lots of other stuff!

There was a cameo during lunch? Could you remind me who and what game? I'm not sure if I just don't remember it, or didn't know the character or game so didn't realize it was a cameo.

And others will flag PIXELDRAIN, it's because all download sites have been flagged at one point or another of spreading malware that was uploaded by a user.
