VN Ren'Py Onhold Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen [v0.7.1] [recreation]

Awesome update!

 

[elucian]

lmao the plot twists, loving the various characters and weird shit which is going on

 

[PsybehrWolf]

Ya know....I thought when I found 0.2 and played it, that it was quite the interesting pile of conundrums, but this....is "WTF?!" on METH AND HEROIN!
AND I LOVED IT!
Kinda need to create a "Twilight Zone Harem" tag for this game....MC is from one Reality, then you have his sister who is from another, then you have his mother, and thanks to this update, and reveal of the character from end of last update, seems to be from yet ANOTHER reality! Then you have Our mini-She-Hulk, Iggdra and half-blood Nara who are from an even more divergent reality! My guess is the Hotel was built on a Nexus point which has transformed it into a Dimensional Gateway of Divergent Realities, with the Amulet working as a "Key". Weird Shit happening is a VERY nice way to describe all that is happening to him!
Either way: I'm in for the long haul! This is MY kinda mind-fuck game!!!

What I want to "complain" about is the possibility to change the age of the MCs, the default is 25 ... I raised that, but if you have a daughter (and she must be 18+), you had to father her at 7, and even if she is only 14 or something like that, it doesn't work.

And considering the story so far there could be some weird shit behind that, but everyone reacts as if this could be a possibility. Currently I think that there is "just" some parallel World stuff going on - so no time travel or stuff like that. Because even if the MC is "his own (maybe younger) brother" - that does not work because the mom or sis never say that his age does not fit.

So to make sense, the min. age of the MC has to be more around 33-36 ...

---

It is a fun game, but not really an erotic/porn game. All the lewd stuff is quite tame and rushed without much detail. I like that there are several small animations here and there and quite a huge number of renders for most scenes - some games are way to static, but the little lewd stuff we had was short and feels more like added stuff and not as a main part of the game.

Let's just say there are impossible "possibilities" xD

DISCLAIMER: There are no minors in the game! All characters depicted in the game were at least 99 years old at the moment they were created! No tentacle monsters were harmed and no alternating realities were destroyed!

please please do two things... keep this vn true to its name like you have, and second please complete it. I'm growing quite fond of this strange ass trip you are taking me on. Thank you

You should have seen the first version xD
The version you played was probably the one I fucked up before the upload.
When I work on the game, I work on the 4k version and then copy the files over to the 1080p version, so after editing and testing was done, I just did a small fix right before the first upload and must've somehow fucked up while copying over the files (no idea how that could happen). So yeah, the version that's online now should be a lot better.


Don't say that, there's always an error left somewhere... always xD

The "Hotfix" only fixed an error btw, only the re-upped version has the grammar fixes.

What kind of changes do you do for the 1080p version? Why not just use the same code and only change the media files? You can scale images and video within renpy. IE. "Movie(size=(1920,1080), play="name of video.mkv")" would scale any video to 1920x1080 virtual pixels(what you set with gui.init in GUI.rpy). Virtual pixels aren't real pixels, if someone plays a 4k video on a 4k screen it will still be 4k, even if scaled to "1080p".

If you did that, you wouldn't have to maintain two branches of code and double test... You could standardize on the 1080p version and improve performance while maintaining image quality. More virtual pixels = more work on CPU.

The problem is that 1. the 4k version runs shitty on almost all medium/low hardware which makes most of the players here. Renpy is just bad at handling hq videos or rendering hq stuff in general, scaling everything down instead of using native 1080p images/videos would only make it worse.
2. the 4k version is 6gb (six gigabyte), and it's only the third release, most of the ppl won't even consider downloading that much.
I do use the same code though, the only files that are different are the gui.rpy and the screens.rpy iirc, as I said, I must've made a mistake when I copied the files over and didn't notice it :/

thx, added to the op.
but why make a compressed version for the 4k? people who download that usually don't care about filesize and want the best possible quality^^

 

[hngg]

Because I don't want to be asked to do it later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It might still look better than 1080p, too. Won't know 'till it's out.

What do you think? Compressed 4k video sample attached.

 

[tk99]

define mc = Character("[mc_name]", who_color="#bbb")
define mcthink = Character("[mc_name]", who_color="#bbb", what_italic=True, what_size=35)

## The size of normal dialogue text.
define gui.text_size = 45


weird ... really

I got this ... thinking and talking



and i really don't understand why

I am sorry but I have got to say that personally I can't see the point, 1080 download of 900 MB or download 4K of 6.43 GB, I will go for 900 MB I may be a heathen but I can see no real difference in quality ( maybe my machinery or eye sight) but the time and problem of downloading 6.43 GB is definitely not worth the extra effort for a debatable gain ( Mega over limit and Nopy just gave up ) and its still a GREAT GAME even at 1080. Cheers

One thing I am waiting for the MC to notice is that there is only ONE of the Amulet! Interesting thing I was thinking about, and that's how his "Mother" saw him with the Amulet on and took it from him, then he got it back, but I am waiting for him to realize, and she is from a parallel earth than his, why doesn't She have her own?! I think that, like the Hotel, there is only 1 Amulet. The Hotel is a Nexus point of Realities, with the Amulet being the obvious Key, and as we have seen, the Holder of the key can move between realities by opening a door, and I think with practice, and focus, might have some control, but has to realize the truth of said Amulet! I don't think it matters WHO is holding it, as his Mother held it and ended up in another Reality, and he was only able to save her because she dropped it. Like I said, Loving it, because it is a mind-fuck, and mind-opener!

It looks good on my Android, I'll have a look at it tomorrow on my py.

define mc = Character("[mc_name]", who_color="#bbb")
define mcthink = Character("[mc_name]", who_color="#bbb", what_italic=True, what_size=35)

This is because of the textbook option I included right before release. The script has its own text size defined.

She has her own amulet, but she's not wearing it, she didn't ever wear it, and she won't ever wear it

Hmmm....Now it has me wondering if she has it with her....that would be amusing....seeing how the 2 resonate.....

Did you mean 'textbox'? And isn't this the text_size bug which got fixed in 0.3?

tk99, as far as the current script.rpy is concerned mc and mcthink are defined as follows:

define mc = Character("[mc_name]", who_color="#bbb")
define mcthink = Character("[mc_name]", who_color="#bbb", what_italic=True, what_style="thinking_dialogue")

The default test_size is only used on the 4k-version. See the following lines of gui.rpy:

init python:
    if fourk is None:
        gui.text_size = 30
        gui.name_text_size = 50
        gui.interface_text_size = 40
        gui.textbox_height = 278
        ...

Hope this helps!

Yes textbox xD
the "text-size bug" wasn't a bug, it was just me sitting in front of a 4k screen not knowing which text size looks good in 1080p^^ For me it looked good and readable in the first version already, so it's a bit of guesswork and asking testers.
the "thinking-dialogue" text size comes from the textbox, not sure why I left it in there since it's actually not necessary in WS.

also, looks like tk99 uses the first 1080p version of 0.3, the mc/think lines changed with the fixed version.

Interesting. So the size difference between 45 and 35 isn't as noticeable at 4k than the difference between 35 and 24 at 1080p, yes? The way I see it the problem wasn't the text_size but rather the size difference between text_size and mcthink. The former can easily be solved on the player's end by adjusting the font scaling as detailed here while in case of the latter the very same approach just exaggerates the problem. At least on 1080p-screens.

As the problem's solved the only thing left to do for me is letting you dwell on bad memories...

Just played v3 ... and what the fuck did I just see/watch/unfold. I think I need to replay and bring out my drafting board and straight edges to figure this all out When I saw the green girl's name I immediately tried to say it and It came out as Ugnaught (from Star Wars) .. now it cannot be unseen Great start .. cannot wait to see where you twisted little minds go next.

 

[Rain90]

Well.. definitely weird shit happening.
Can anyone explain the APK file size to lack of game length to me? Theres not even many animations but it took my no time at all to fly through this and it's almost a gig?

But! Great game so far. Intrigued and interested in the storyline.
