VN Ren'Py Completed Sunshine Love [Ch. 3 v1.01i Extras] [MrDots Games]

[Hyperserver]

You can't blame the man for not revealing the content of his story before it was supposed to be revealed. If anything I would blame the curiosity, 'busy body'ness and "I'm the first" trope of the fans.

However, there is a lesson on this. Instead of answering Yes or No (which could be a lie), Mr.Dots should just simply told his team members to say "I don't know" and Mr.Dots had to cease any direct communications with the fans afterwards. How a simple question had such an impact.

yes - we normally act like that anyways. I don't blame Dots for not revealing the "truth" right away.
I nevertheless feel kind of bad. Even i gave away the "no" with best knowledge at that point, i fear that people will not believe any statements in future, which is also a bad thing. (see bestiality hopes in DMD a while ago).

Anyways - we have to ensure that such things will not happen again - there is just one thing more bad than "no information"... it's "WRONG information".

It probably will be more easy from now on, as until few weeks ago, i was just the part between Mr Dots core team and the community. But lately i got to be part of the core team myself, so all intel will be more accurate and first hand.
Same goes for Mistress Elemental, who also recently advanced to the core team.

As it has been asked a few times now what's Dots' core team (directly involved in games' development):
- MrDots (last say, scripting and rendering)
- HearszAM (main writer, 2nd in charge)
- Mistress Elemental (rendering, beta testing)
- myself (Beta Testing, community work)
all 4 of us together also do the creative work like story-arcs and fleshing out scenes etc.

For those who used to know Jeff Steel: he is since a few months on own wish for uncertain time due to personal reason 100% inactive.

which codes?
If you talk about the leaked codes of MrDots, they just unlock the gallery and PT in general. You still have to find and unlock the content by playthrough.

Please android mod

Please android mod

Did you even check the first page?

 

[dekeon1969]

Cool! I like it looks very handy.

True, keeps your "hands" free for other things.

It's weird that he invites cousin on a date when he's not on her path and even has option to kiss her, I made sure that I'm not on her path and still???

nope.

WHAT???!!! how on earth you aren't on sc path? that's total blasphemy.

anyways besides obvious devs making choices on behalf of players maybe a reward from good work at hotel.

Not every choice is up to the player. Some things have to happen in order for the story to progress. Did you make the choice for the MC to move to Sunshine Bay? He could have stayed in his city and tried to find work after all. Did you get the choice to return home when you found out S lied about the state of the hotel? Did you get to choose not to hire Svetlana?

Why would anyone rebuff a cute redhead?

 

[Slickdick69]

damn, outta likes until later.

well now you can happily abandon this game.

Nah. Gotta figure out where I left off from like 2 years ago. I plan on reading it from there, now that I know, what I know now. I wasn't gonna spend hours reading an update and not get what I've been waiting for, so I cheated. Too bad it ended on a fucking cliff hanger. Like damn lmao

Why do the sex scenes all have these weird, unnatural motions? It looks very uncomfortable for both participants. I've never seen this in any other (non-Mr. Dots) game.

I'm so sad that Shortcake didn't open the envelope

So that's my guess. Other possibilities are bad guy hotel owner or the Mayor.

I don't recall seeing anyone report this, but I started playing the latest release, with the Sancho mod, and my screenshots aren't working. And to the tech support geeks likely here, yes, I've tried quitting and restarting, and have done a reboot. I haven't done a reinstall, and don't really feel like doing one at the moment. It's odd because it was working last night when I finished up the .03 release.

As always, I saved the prior release off to an external; deleted and erased the prior release from my PC and did a clean install of the new release and updated mod.

Anyone else having this issue, or have any ideas? Is this a new instance of Renpy that might be in conflict with my OS (latest update of Windows)? As you can see, my "s" key is working fine, so not a keyboard issue, and the other hotkeys seem to work (though I don't use them often - just tested to see if it was everything or just screenshots).

One other thing: in the .03 release, all of the donut images were already revealed and each time I tagged one it told me "this image is already unlocked", and in the .04 release, all images are unlocked except for the new Connie images. I haven't tried the game without Sancho, so I don't know if this was a side effect of the mod or a glitch with the game proper. Not that I'm complaining, but thought it was a bit odd.

because other developers use Blender software, which allows more natural and much more detailed animations.
Next game MrDots will also switch to using blender exactly because of that reason.

it's a known RenPy issue. YOu don't see the actual screen on your screenshot but one of the past ones.
You can solve that issue by NOT using fullscreen. Windowed screen should be possible to capture.

Screenshots are better with snipping tool - free with all Windows OS

You can choose to open the envelope so you know exactly what is in it. Just save before and reload after you see the scene. Gerald is 100% Shortcake's father, but he wasn't cheating on Ashley when it happened. Shortcake is 4 years younger than Sis, and Gerald got reacquainted with Ashley when Sis was 9 years old. That doesn't mean he didn't cheat with Trisha later though. It would explain why he never revealed who he was cheating with even though Ashley had proof he was cheating.

After all the flaming about dialogue plagiarism in Shy Girl lately, I'm surprised not to find discussion here about MrDots quoting verbatim from Beverly Hills Cop I guess MC confronting D'Amico in a public place is basically exactly the same as Foley and Maitland, so they thought they'd put the lines in as a homage.

Hmm. Ok. Well even a handful or images, in a loop, done in Daz, would be better than the current animation MrDots is using. Everything is bending and moving in unnatural freakish ways. I am not sure whether to laugh or cringe. It certainly isn't sexy.

I know MrD has his style and is sticking to it (The same 4 expressions for all characters, exaggerated excitement every three sentences, etc), but for an adult game, getting the animation right or at least passable, seems like it's well worth changing sooner rather than later.
