Ren'Py The Big Swap [v0.1.7] [SagTA]
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
4 hours ago
Update time. So, when I said I could do more frequent updates now that I’m back home, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Progress is happening, just slowly. That’s why Patreon is still paused.
I’d love for this to be a relese date is here post, but it’s not. Soooowy.
That’s the end of the good news.
Now for the rest of the news. I think I could push an update out in about two-ish weeks. Similar length to last update.
Some plans have changed since the last “best girl” polls. Content that will make the update:
- Mia
- Agency/model arc.
- The gym bros (this arc’s been on the backburner too long)
- Mira/Cyn landlady/roommate tag team (don’t get any weird ideas)
- Sil (quite a bit. You wouldn’t guess it now, but in the original draft she was a bigger chara, not just part of the ensemble cast. I don’t love her as much as I used to, but she deserves a shot)
- Mia & the students (beyond the Mia-only arc)
- The dorm guys (should’ve shown up two updates ago)
- And of course, main quest stuff—some non-sexy bits too
Stuff that’s on the bubble (might make it in, might not):
- Coworkers (spicy stuff; regular scenes are there) - Milena/Club lady
- Some Cyn/roommate-only content, depends if I end up splitting some of the currently planned scenes
Definitely bumped out of this cycle:
- The mansion arc. Illustrating what’s already written/partially coded would take way too long. It’s pushed to the next update.
Big thanks to everyone who’s still checking out the game, given the delays. I know it’s tough to stay interested when things slow down.
On a personal note (skip, boring stuff ahead):
I know a few of you have followed me since my very old deviantart days, way back to my first uploads. Some remember the personal blog-style updates too. So you reached out about the radio silence, worried about me (especially if you remember some of the darker stuff I used to post).
I used to do a lot of trauma-dump between content drops. I promised myself not to go back to that. It helped at the time, but things are different now. Just so you know, I’m fine, and my time off (and currently limited time) had nothing to do with the stuff I talked about over there, it's been ages.
I really do appreciate everyone who reached out, even if I didn’t answer or open the messages when I recognized your names. It does suck that I haven’t replied. Some messages were genuinely kind. I wasn’t ignoring anyone, and I’m okay.

Man! Thank you! I just came for a proof of life, half annoyed I might have to do the captcha/age verification dance on platforms I'm not registered on and not used to.
Compared to what I feared, this really IS good news!
I like this Dev too! Hope to see again here...

I agree, it is not my cup of tea neither but otherwise a great game

Not necessarly a big problem but in general I am not a fan of the mini games inside of a game. It is repetitif and not really advancing the story.

Understood. Thanks for clarifying. I ask cause I haven't gotten that far yet, I been playing a bit each chance I get slow w/out skipping to savour it.
THought you guys meant the minigames were poorly made or dumb but if it's their mere existence it sounds like a case of different preference of game type. Idk, all due respect and all the all, but I love the fact that it's a sandbox with a grind!
And to be fair, within the still small pool of well-made AI-art game, this is the only game catering to us grinders, most being fairly to 100% kinetic
On the other hand, if the mini-games are buggy or need optiization...
To be honest I really think it is an awesome game and for the moment the only one I am supporting on patreon. I normly dont like RENPY games because they are just linear story telling. The Big SWAP still lets you choose in which direction you are going and which action you are taking. So yes it lets you grind with is my preference as well
The mini game is also not buggy. You get or loose points depending on your reaction during the game. Going below 0 results in a game over. As a consequence you dont really have an option on how you answer. For me if you dont really have an opion why give a choice? It might be that the point system is still changing in the future. I guess only Sagta knows.
The AI is well done and not really causing my any troubles. I defently will become the standard for future games.

Ah now I see. Thanks. Yep, hopefully it's all part of the drafting process and it'll make more sense in the future.
