VN Ren'Py The Grey Dream [Ep. 5 - Steam Halloween Side Story] [TheGreys]

[xXwankerXx]

This person hates redheads

Redheads cannot and will NEVER compare to blondes and brunettes, especially freckled ones. Redheads suck, and sadly for them, only figuratively. Who da fuck even likes freckled bitches and why ?? I dare you to change my mind about this. Let the negativity commence.

The Grey Dream - MultiMod Edition (Ep3 Early Access Edition)

Many thanks, brother. Damn good job, as always !!

Is it me, or episode 3 ends with this talk at the table?

No, it's a bug. Try downloading this version... it should work with this one, but start a new game just to be sure coz some of your saves are probably broken.

 

[xXwankerXx]

Anyway, lil rant and obvious joke about fictional redheaded hoes aside, what the fuck did the dev do to my girl, Kelly ?? Did he really make her another token camwhore for no fucking reason other than to piss ppl off and make them drop the game ?? Really ??

I sincerely hope not coz that's a surefire way to shoot himself in the dick and lose most of his supporters, but she sound like she trying to justify why making an obviously shitty decision is a good thing for her, even tho she herself don't believe that. Hope I'm wrong, but I've seen devs make 'mistakes' like this one on too many occasions to be surprised by it anymore.

Wow what a downfall from the premise of the first release, seems like this game shall share the same fate as A.O.A Academy. Funny enough they both suffer from the same things.

You have me curious (scratching my head here to figure out where you're coming from). What similarities are you seeing with AOA and why do you believe this is destined for abandonment? I modded the hell out of AOA and fixed most of it's bugs in the process... and I'm not seeing anything remotely the same in the storyline at all personally.

 

[dolfe67]

I don't see similarities with AOA but I can see the game being abandoned. With this much quality in the renders there is not a lot of support (story is not up to par). I dont know dev's goals but he might be demotivated in finishing the game.

I don't know about all of that.

Both games have fine renders but have stories that go nowhere, as if devs didn't know what to write the game about. I'm fine with VN that are porn only, but when we have something like this where we are trying to do something serious or mysterious, it just doesn't work. So we are left with LI, right? In the AOA you are locked into path literally in the first episode, while here everyone looks the same and dialogues leave much to be desired.

I think this dev might actually be trying to write the most boring, unengaging, charmless, and emotionally sterile AVN of all time. I would say the art is it's saving grace, but even that's not really notable anymore with so many incredible digital artists emerging these days leaving this VN in their dust.

This VN just seems so uninspired. Almost all the sex scenes are side fucks with girls that appeared out of thin air in a game that is already bloated with underdeveloped characters that we know next to nothing about. Had high hopes with this VN at first, but I don't see it getting any better at this point. To the trash heap it goes.

 

[Sancho1969]

Wow, you folks a kinda harsh. But since opinions are like assholes, I have one too, so here's my short take:

This is episode 3, not 30... we're just now getting started really. In the third chapter/episode of just about any story character development and situational setups are still being laid out and presented to the audience... unless we are talking Dr. Seuss.

Just my opinion of just about every VN worth noting out their in the wild... or miniseries on streaming services, or books on bestseller lists, etc. The formula is usually

• Ep/Ch 1 - hook the audience with something,
• Ep/Ch2 - introduce some background and the environment of the protagonist(s) and the supporting characters,
• Ep/Ch3 - development of the the plot/story the audience is about to be subjected to.

I reckon this particular VN falls in that same exact basic formulation, give or take. Just my thoughts which mean absolutely nothing at the end of the day. Regards.

What hooked you in ep1?

 

[Sancho1969]

What hooked you in ep1?

TBH, never said I was hooked, this isn't about my feelings or review (although it certainly carries my opinion on how the development was initiated). The point is that's just always the formula in any Prologue/Chapter/Episode One of any fictional work... if they don't get a hook at the beginning then the audience's attention span obviously wanes rapidly. It's been this way for centuries, and certainly not rocket science. That's my point, is the formula versus folks formulating critiques as of the current ending of Ch3 as if the VN was near completion... we just started.

That said, with folks still here and the fanbase showing statistical growth since the VN's debut, then there was an obvious hook in Ch1 or hardly no one would even care to look at Ch2+. Again, imho which means nothing really... just my observation.

You said "I reckon this particular VN falls in that same exact basic formulation, give or take." but you're not hooked?

Personally it's by the renders, the same story with less good renders I wouldn't play the game. The story is not bad though, just kinda dull

Again, I didn't say I was or wasn't hooked... I wasn't making it about about me bud. No one gives a rat's ass if I'm hooked or not, only if I code modifications for the product that enhance it's experience.

It's not an answer to you post but I played the game with your mod and choose all choices possible (so I think) but I only get 82% progression:
View attachment 2659561

Is it normal or what did I miss ?

RenPy calculates those figures internally and the math is a bit dodgy depending on the VN's dialogue. RenPy is not assuming you've reached the last label of the progression but takes it's totals from ALL the VN's dialogue combined. It's wonky but I didn't code RenPy, so nothing I can do about it really. That said most VN's near completion (once the dev has sorted most of their scripts final) the calc is usually very close.

Think of it this way, the calc is based on the dialogue blocks the user has seen in any playthrough. If the VN has many splits/split paths then all those other branches are included in the total dialogue blocks but not necessarily in the user's current playthrough. The user would then need to replay to see all the other branches (splits) to accumulate near 100%. Think about that for a moment and it'll make sense I'm sure.

Not the mention the cringe dialogue and interactions with almost everyone. Like that gym scene in the locker room...
