VN Ren'Py The Gilded Ladder [v0.1.7] [Sanguineangie]

[Tyrranus]

so how is it I dont end up in divyas office with soumya but the game says I did then errors out?
also why couldnt I flirt with chrissy in the bar? some weird shit be goin on

in the end it turns out that chrissy is one I dont want to know better but still odd behavior in game, esp since I turned off the m2f content but it showed it anyway

edit:
those are some awful SFX but thank you for using a separate volume slider for them

dunno if its justt my monitor or not but that restaurant at the end was WAAAAAAAAY too dark

 

[Vortex@]

If I say I'm not into gay, or trans and turn off those, why does it offer me choices for chrissy and the dude during gameplay? They shouldn't even appear as a choice. Is Kelly ever going to be romanceable? She is the hottest one there, but no content. The Asian lady is hot also, but no content. It's all gay, trans, or side chic content

 

[sanguineangie]

I saw a sissification planned tag. Please don't abandon it and also the game in general. A lot of good games like this always get abandoned. I can understand life is a bitch and we're not always given the luxury of a choice but please try to finish it. As far as I can see this one is good. Please continue to work on this.
sanguineangie

I appreciate the compliment. I have rough times where it is hard to get work done with it, but it feels great when I get something out and start getting feedback. Thanks, really nice of you.

Impregnanted planned?

Yes, if you did the fast track or played the game entirely you would see some options that lead to that possibility later.

Yes, for Chrissy

/s

Ummm, that would be something haha

Is that chick... green..?

I've heard of olive coloured skin before but I don't think that's what it means.

Who is green and in which scene? I would really appreciate the specific feedback. I am not great with colors.

Okay, so I decided to check out this partial update. Here's some observations.

• Previously set variables such as the MC's name aren't persistent - resets to the default 'Donald'.
• Fast Track in theory sounds great but you need to know the last day you played - new content isn't indicated / highlighted. Maybe add chapter nos to the day selection entries?
• Renders at the restaurant are *very* dark - maybe notch up the lighting a bit?
• This partial update is very short and has almost no content. Only one path (Chrissy) and only half (MC is sub) of it to boot. IMHO somewhat small for the time it took to develop this.

I have it written so the persistent defaults at the start of the game, so you have to rename via the fast track. The old save files do not work.

Great idea for fast track! I will try to add some sort of notes, maybe make the selection menu with a few scenes as reminders.

Yeah, the reasturaunt was dark, having real issues to get that dark steakhouse look. I will try at it, maybe I can clean it up in post production.

In terms of size, there is a lot of content that isn't in the script yet, I just didn't have dinner happen for Joe and Soumya yet because I didn't have the after dinner stuff yet. The problem is that I am probably not going to be able to satisfy the output that people are hoping for. Family and a very demanding job. Just being real. As I said on Patreon, the number of branches and options are too much, so I am just not going to allow that many options in the same part of the story, because it naturally shortens the overall content.

• Renders at the restaurant are *very* dark - maybe notch up the lighting a bit?

Yes, the lighting needs some rethinking...
And it would be good to have the possibility to name saves. We can do it ourselves if changing the savetoken file, however...
thanks

I will try to grab some code to save the names. Had an answer about lighting above.

Great update, love Chrissy

Thank you so much!

I want Android will be fully updated version nice!

Did the android version not work?

How can you select the top option with Joseph? I keep getting the bottom option instead. Also I would like to Dom Chrissy

The option is not yet available. Next release will fill out all the options that were greyed out.

so how is it I dont end up in divyas office with soumya but the game says I did then errors out?

You should have been able to flirt with Chrissy. I think I need to add error reporting.

I will make sure to check all the interactions and that m2f option is enforced. If you have m2f off, as in you don't want trans women, you can't flirt with her.

Sorry you didn't like the sfx. Tried using some free ones.

See responses above for lighting discussion.

Is Kelly ever going to be romanceable? She is the hottest one there, but no content. The Asian lady is hot also, but no content. It's all gay, trans, or side chic content

I will check the options, sounds like people don't even what the option.

Yes, Kelly will be an option. She is my favorite as well.

So, since last I played, your male co-worker has buffed up, MC's penis seems to have shrunk(at least in some scenes) and Chrissy's penis has grown. Then we have Diya(Not sure the spelling right now) has turned red like a devil. lol Not to mention the fact that we can't choose the Dom choice with Chrissy.

So, with all that in mind, where are you taking this game? What I'm seeing with this new update, it's not for me. Just need some clarification, sanguineangie.

 

[Spider-Venom]

so, not shying away from trans on male--that's always my concern.

 

[Ferdinand321]

Are all the tags in this game optional? And what about the trans/gay content, is that optional too? And this Sissification? I only tolerate Sissification when it happens to another character who is not the main character and as long as the main character is the one doing that to someone else, meaning no Sissification on the main character but rather on some random NPC. And regarding the trans/futa/gay part, the main character can only be the active one, meaning the only one who has sex with others, and not the other way around, keeping their backside untouchable( Keeping the MC Inviolável's backside inviolable).???????????????????????

It's not available because it's simply not ready yet (I've checked the game folder, it's just not there). We have to wait for the next update, but this is not because the Sanguineangie want to force dickgirl on male. It's frustrating, I know (the male on dickgirl action is the principal reason I'm interested) but we have to bear it. There isn't much that can be done about it. So I'm eagerly waiting for the next update,

Now about my opinion about the game, I wasn't dissatisfied with the sound effect sat all,, I just think they're a bit out of sync with the action. And I guess making the animation feel a bit more natural must be a lot of work, but with better synced sound effect and a bit more of background music, the general impression coming from the game would be seriously Improved.

Why do I only get the sub route after having dinner with Chrissy? Dom is not clickable.

Because it's not in the game at this time - will be in a later update…

Well, as it stands, it's not really my thing at the moment. Let's see if it becomes more interesting for me after another 2-3 updates.

can we please get a mac version??

Hi again Bad Wolf, your questions always seem existential to me. Yes, some of the inconsistencies you point out were changes made mid way. I have been slowly fixing some of those, as I do not want to spend all my time essentially remaking the game. Dom choice with Chrissy isn't selectable yet because the option was not yet completed. A lot of wrestling with people wanting updates faster and how much content I am able to produce over time.

Where I am taking it? Well, this first week in the game is just to introduce the characters and some the dynamics between them and trying to sprinkle some NSFW scenes so it's not a total snooze fest. The next chapter I want to release will get into the first product the MC will make, and it's effects on a curious person. Then plan to have other products that will turn add other story elements and dilemmas, then into some finale. I am going to have less branching options in the game moving forward because it has made development so much more difficult.

so, not shying away from trans on male--that's always my concern.

No, definitely not shying from that as you can tell.

Are all the tags in this game optional? And what about the trans/gay content, is that optional too? And this Sissification? I only tolerate Sissification when it happens to another character who is not the main character and as long as the main character is the one doing that to someone else, meaning no Sissification on the main character but rather on some random NPC.

No, not all tags are optional. Only the gay content and whether you want to see sexual content involving trans women, that's it (the characters will still exist, but they won't hit on you or reveal anything, though you may still know they are gay or trans). It is difficult to make sure all the tags are enforced, so if you know specific scenes, let me know.

For sissification, I was planning on having Joseph a potential target or the MC as optional, or maybe another character if some other male NPC pops up. All of it would be optional. Now that I think of it, I may want to use a different male character so I don't get weird branching.

In terms of MC, I wasn't really planning the MC to not be involved in any sex scenes, unless I decide to add some sort of drama.

It's not available because it's simply not ready yet (I've checked the game folder, it's just not there). We have to wait for the next update, but this is not because the Sanguineangie want to force dickgirl on male.

Sound fx does take some time. If you play the game without advancing the slides or anything, the timing is pretty decent I think. I have seen some complaints about the quality of the sound fx, which were all free. I may spend some time to do sound fx and add music, but I feel like people want renders more than sound and music, though it does improve the feel of the game, even if some people don't listen to it.

Correct

I hope it does!

can we please get a mac version??

I am quite reluctant to do that. The reason is because apple requires I pay to do that and I would have to get a Mac product (I am all Windows and Android) to test it properly. I will check with my subscribers and see if they want it. I will also see if I can do a website hosting of the game, or maybe steam handles it.

I did see this as a possibility, where you essentially install renpy on your Mac computer and then launch, but probably not useful if you are talking about an iPhone:

Thanks for answering. I will wait a few more updates and come back and see how it's going. Take your time. I'm not trying to rush you. I'd rather you make a good game on your time, than a game that is rushed and not worth playing. Oh and will Andi become an LI at some point? Just wondering.

Don't let yourself be influenced too much by the players here. Occasionally picking up an idea and implementing it may be OK. But my experience here on F95 has shown me that when developers let themselves be driven by the players, the game usually ends up broken. For example, I don't like the option of sissification for the MC, but that doesn't mean I want that for Josef (or transformed into a futa – yes, I have my own fantasies LOL) – no – it's your game that plays out in your head first and foremost. With that in mind, I'll wait until the Dom path is finished.

 

[TheDreadedEnd]

Last update was pretty short but great. Damn that Asian waiter is nice. Will I see more of her later?

I plan to have each character as an LI to some degree. I have been voting for the main LIs among my subscribers and then I have been injecting some of my favorite characters as I wish.

Really appreciate the support. I do take feedback seriously and I think I have taken the well thought out feedback to heart and tossed the rest to the curb. It still feels like my game to me, so I am glad that is the current state. Dom path should be finished in next update once I make the other NSFW scenes. This will probably be the last update I let people choose a different person, because by also adding sub or dom as an option, I double the branching.

( In terms of MC, I wasn't really planning the MC to not be involved in any sex scenes, unless I decide to add some sort of drama. )
So what do you want to say with this? The MC doesn't have sex with anyone? I understood what you expect for the game by reading what you wrote, but this leaves me in doubt. Because the only thing I expect from the game is that the MC has a Dom route where he will dominate others, no matter if it's a woman, man, or futa. To be honest, I kind of avoid the tags in this game because in 99% of the cases we are forced to turn the MC into a sissy and he becomes passive. And when I saw this game, I was hoping that it would break the pattern and our MC would make others stay at his feet and also make other NPCs become Sissy and MC also dominate futas and trans.

But this thing you wrote to me scared me because it makes it seem like we're just going to watch others and do nothing.
( In terms of MC, I wasn't really planning the MC to not be involved in any sex scenes, unless I decide to add some sort of drama. )

 

[Ferdinand321]

To be honest, the reason I found this game in my searches is because I wanted to find a game with certain tags where the MC is the dominator and transforms the other NPCs. And my result was that the minority of games I found meet this requirement, most of it is forced content with no choice over the MC. If this game breaks the taboo and makes the MC the dominator, I will really be surprised.
