VN Ren'Py Completed The Escort [Final v1.01 SE] [DrFronkonstinMD]

[Zoltan Redbeard]

Yo drfronkonstinmd , Steam says it is not available in my country and I am in continental US. I wannaaaaaaa

Edit, my VPN was pointing to Italy and Germany, i reverted to US and now I bought it. But bro, what about our spank brothers overseas? You should open it for global distribution.

Italy should be fine, only Germany and China ban every Steam adult game, in Germany is because of their legislation issues about the lack of a consistent age rating and age verification on the platform, or something like that, in China is something about their law too, but I don't know exactly what are the details, however I know that there's plenty of chinese players that probably use VPNs and complain about the lack of chinese translation of almost every adult game they find on Steam... or maybe they're all from Taiwan

Edit: I found this news from March the 1st, 2023 that maybe can be of some sort of interest for german players, perhaps in the future Steam will add a method for them to legally purchase adult games on the platform, or at least I hope so:

Zoltan already said it, but the main page shows it's being sold all over the world, so most countries should work fine, except for those with strict adult content regulations.

Thank you all your your support! The Escort just surpassed 200 sales in less than 24h. I know those are rookie numbers for many devs here, but I couldn't be happier myself. You'll have the Special Edition as soon as Steam gives me permission to go live.

You’re right. I’ll change it.

drfronkonstinmd well to be honest, being selfish here, was waiting for Real Dreams update and hence had posted there regarding update of same.
SonsOLiberty said you were busy in development of your own game so gave "The Escort" a try.
My o my , The Escort simply blew my mind with the animations , the model, the lighting .. felt so real and I would have really missed this game if it wouldnt have been for SonsOLiberty
Thanks both of you for wonderful experience.

I may be in danger of repeating myself too much, but I can't properly explain how happy I am to read that. This project is turning out to be incredibly rewarding and I'm glad to see so many people (many more than I expected) having nothing but nice (and even passionate) words about the characters and the game itself.

Thank you so much.

I love it. I think it has a ...ummmm realistic quality to it that I really like and FUNNY!..Great Job.

drfronkonstinmd, unless I missed it, what else is part of the SE? I know you said it's similar to the SE here, but what else might be in store for me?

 

[Zoltan Redbeard]

Wonderful, I too have saw the 100MB~ update this morning

If I may make another suggestion, I'd say that considering adding achievements wouldn't be a bad thing, from what I've personally seen they don't seem too difficult to implement, and a lot of people seem to like them and tend to snub games that don't have them.
And when I say not too difficult, I really mean not too difficult, because even I who have never written a line of Python and had never opened a project in Ren'py have managed to put them back in a couple of titles (see

and

, those are very simple examples though, for a more complete guide on that see:

).

Furthermore, adding Steam trading cards when possible could maybe help a bit more to spread the game, however I think that they're less important to people than achievements in that matter. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the topic, but there are several interesting articles about it, like this one for example:

Neither of these two things are really fundamental, but there are people who like them and maybe experimenting with them a bit will help you to become even more familiar with the code and their system

The real big change is the gallery. It has the standard sort of "achievement" goal, where it stores key moments from scenes you've already played, plus if you find and play the whole easter egg scene, there's a 4th gallery page where you can see 16 new images from a photorealistic Jen AI model I've been working on.

Apart from that, you get a few extra looks at the mess you've made when you finish inside her, an extension of the morning sex scene where Jen decides she's still hungry and a couple of details I wanted to add to the dream so it feels less rushed. Also, I didn't like auntie's lips, so I fixed them.

I've been considering it, since it's an exclusive Steam thing that's fairly popular and people kind of expect it.

I need to check if there's a way to see them once you're out of the game and not have them announced during gameplay. For my next project (much more comedy oriented) it's going to be fun to be in an awkward situation and suddenly see "You got the cock out of pants achievement!", but for this particular story, I'm pretty sure something like that would take you out of the whole immersion.

drfronkonstinmd Is the special edition coming to itch? I'd prefer not to notify my entire friends list that i'm about to bust.

I'm not sure. Steam doesn't allow their content to be shared in other platforms if they don't have a similar price. If I upload this last version to Itch without setting a price, they'll probably give me a warning. Although it's such a small project that I don't know if they'll notice or if they have scrappers looking around for their content.

almost u playable on android.
text box opacity is too dark hiding 1/3 screen and obviously almost every animation and 18+ scenes. there is no option to hide text or lower opacity.

 

[kulgetha]

i am curious there seems to be more content but after doing all 3 play throughs still some picture seems to be locked out 2 left locked and will there be content for the jen ai model? after seeing the dream sequnce will there be more pictures of the other family members going at it?

 

[kulgetha]

I guess this might be a little naughty of me but i was hoping that after 6 th month time elapse there would of been signs of Josh and Jen start a new family together maybe a little baby bump

Hi! To unlock all images you need to go through the two main endings. That is, you join her when she goes to the agency and cook pancakes after that (and finish everything, including the epilogue) and then you need to go back to the conversation after morning sex and choose the second option to trigger the end where you spend part of the evening worried, wondering where she is. (You also need to look under the bed to unlock the Easter egg so you can see the alternate epilogue). Once you finish all that and see the discarded ending, you’ll have all the images unlocked, including the AI gallery.

I’m considering adding some content with other family members in a future DLC.

I’m sorry, but pregnancy was never considered for this game.

Working on it! Thanks for the heads up!
