VN Ren'Py Abandoned Sylvia [2022.03] [ManorStories]

[Furuichi Imadori]

To tell the truth i was thinking that it was going to be either Léa or Valérie, but Isabelle makes sense too, so now i think it will be Léa or Isabelle, i don't think Valérie could get in the place where the MC is in so little time

Your hypothesis with Valérie can work. At noon or afternoon, she sees in her computer the video of her boyfriend with Léa on a boat. She reacts by saying : I must do something now, otherwise I will lose him for good. Surprise, at night she shows up.

 

[Ignatz]

Yup, I thought the Valerie arrival was imminent. But...it could also be either Lea or Isabelle announcing that they saw/heard Valerie asking after him.

The second version can add a little more sexy suspense to the arrival, as the MC and Sylvia and/or Lea figure out how to deal with the virago, Valerie.

Well... shit!

This game is a piece of art, to say at least.

In case you want to know what is included in the november build as well as what will be done in subsequent ones.
The author made a podcast with Sylvia's voice actress.

Yesterday I was checking out the latest updates page and I noticed this game by chance. I've been playing for nearly 10 minutes now and I'm already a Patron for sure, the art is definitely one of the best I've ever seen in a 2D game yet.

 

[Sober Satan]

Such a short update though

but Sylvia and her Voice actress, my god.

Yes, voice acting really adds something. If only development was not so slow...

If only development was not so slow...

As I am close to the dev. I want to remind this:
The author is alone writing,coding, composing music, directing actors and doing his best to get busy (yet awesome) artists to work for an indie game.
This supporting two languages with a game that is willing to be more than a slideshow.

He have a monday-friday job as well.
He asked for help and nobody serious showed off.

Before complaining about the slow pace of development, may I ask you: how would you do any better?

If so please share your experience, this may help the dev. to go faster.

 

[Ignatz]

I must have missed the call for help. Not saying I have much to offer, but what was/is he looking for?

 

[User_995331]

Thanks for asking Ignaz.

He is looking for a music composer and a background artist for the game.

If an illustrator is interested is doing comics (short stories) that would be awesome to help people waiting between releases.

 

[Ignatz]

Aha. Nope, not up my alley. My graphic art work is with pencil and paper. My other skills are in the writing field.

Great game, though, and I fully understand time limitations, so I, for one, haven't an issue with time between updates. The good thing is that any time someone posts a comment like that, it's usually because they enjoy the game, so if that's the big complaint, that's not a bad one to have!

Thanks a lot!

I will explain this to the author as he took this "slow pace" very closely.
IMO he didn't understood your point of view and he is worried.

 

[Ignatz]

Ha! Well, not everyone is as patient as I am, so I'm sure others mean it as an insult (sorry).

But, a creator's first responsibility is to his creation. He should not hurry or shift his vision if it means the creation itself will suffer.

There are plenty of things for all of us to do in the meantime. Our lives will not suddenly crumble if Sylvia requires extra time between updates.

It just seems that way to some people, apparently, based on comments posted!

I cant get pass thorugh the part u explore the island with lea

 

[gazeRoan]

I

After Léa's handjob,the map should display 2 or 3 locations :
- the beach (it's where you are =>the map will ask you to choose another location)
- the hotel
- the herbert garden (only if you spoke to Lea about the "Green Ray" OR if you used the scene selector).

You can choose to :
Go to herbert garden:
If you spoke about the "Green Ray" you can go to herbert garden and have Léa's internal monologue as she watch the greenray.The story will automatically lead you to the hotel after that, you won't miss anything.

Go to the hotel:
You can meet Sylvia again, skipping Léa's monologue

is the map working as I described?
Did you used the scene selector?

Cant Can pass through after i unlocked the museum

I rather him take his time and make a really great game (like it is now)

than to rush out updates and make a shitty game

This is one of the best games I've played this year (in general)

Calm down, I help the dev by being his patron...

 

[KiwamiLorenzo]

Is it just me, or that british accent makes Sylvia's voice more sexier? Just listened to that podcast with ManorStories and Sylvia's english voice actor and it became more evident to me

 

[Ignatz]

It's not just you.

 

[KiwamiLorenzo]

It's not just you.

Good, it's just that i know a lot of people that hate british accent and i didn't knew if there were people who apreciated it in this thread
