Overview: The Cruise
Promising overview, lol,
however, dev needs to take another look at how the art is playing out in this game cause that filter makes things look surreal, not aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

I see we have run out of original names for porn. :rolleyes:

Ranger: any experience in working in the cruise industry? And if yes, may I ask you the corporation?
Me I work for a company owned by Carnival.
I'm interested in what you might develop/show about ship life.

I expected this to be real time graphics when looking at the pictures and was shocked that's not a Unity but a Renpy game.

Nope. Not even remotely interested in ever setting foot on one of those Petri dishes ;)

As I said in the post where I shared the links for my new game, I've already done a similar game, which I enjoyed, so I'm looking to have some fun making something similar again.

I see some people here are not happy with the style for the renders I chose - well, there are plenty of other games with more realistic look (my previous games included) so you can ignore this one and still have more than you can play. I'm not looking to create something that everyone likes (it's not possible anyway), but rather to create something I would enjoy. I'm a huge fan of animation so the moment I saw those shaders in the Daz store, I knew I wanted to make something with them.

To each their own I guess :cool:

Shouldn't the Dev in the title be show as NSFW Space (his dev name) instead of Ranger (his user name)?

Not very nice to suck people in thinking it's a new dev. instead of one some of us have been avoiding.

Hmmm! That looks horrible! 1) either turn down the inner shadow in Photoshop or 2) render the characters alone without backgrounds and save the file in PNG before applying them to backgrounds.3) another alternative is use the environment tab and use the background pic as the background with only the characters in scene. This will keep render times down but its harder to line up the camera and characters to the background.
But as it stands now the renders really need to be redone.

Shortest, least informative overview ever. :rolleyes:

Why do all the women in the previews have black chinstraps and black marks around their noses?

I think you should have worked on this a lot more before releasing it

here is my unofficial android port of The Cruise prologue.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

from now on my android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like windows. if you uninstall the app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore it needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11 :FacePalm:), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.

have fun and please report problems (you can reach me ).

Don't mind the art style. You do need more blondes though. They're depressingly under-represented in your games.
TBH blondes are not really my thing. That being said, there are blondes in the game, but the "sketch" shader I use for rendering is making the hair colors much darker than what they are.

Reminds me of Nothing is Forever (esp. before the dev made changes to the graphics), though he definitely didn't use that much of black outlines (I honestly think they're a little bit overdone here). Storywise I'm neither hooked nor uninterested; while I certainly dislike Sharon and don't plan touching students (teachers though, definitely; btw why are there 2 biology teachers?) there's not enough story and dialogues to even guess how good or bad it's going to be. Given there's so many characters I hope for a solid amount of choices throughout. In any case I'll definitely return to see how the game develops. Good luck to the dev.

Definitely that filter looks... peculiar, however that doesn't make it bad, as long as it has a good story and above all good scenes that catch the player it will be a success.

Good luck.
