Ren'Py The Headmaster [Mykock's Manor Ch.3] [Altos and Herdone]

[Xantoser]

I would go with 41325 - the more revealing every day is, the less exciting special occasions become (for me). However, since I am not a Patreon ...

Sadly, this is the rule many developers don't understand or ignore. Example from "The headmaster": skirts. They are so short from the beginning, that after implementing "no skirts during punishment" rule I felt....nothing. Even Ruth didn't care about this because as she said "those skirts don't hide too much anyway".

Awful lot of pointless debate about what some old butch gym teacher lady should wear. I couldn't give less of a fuck, there are plenty of far more enticing LIs in the game to occupy my attention.

Unfortunately I think we are running smack dab into the typical phase mid way through a successful game, where the dev starts getting distracted by all kinds of random side tangent crap that isn't really that important, rather than pressing forward with the main core (important) game content.



Why do the hard stuff when I can add some trivial bullshit or a "holiday update" that's less scary to work on...

the bdsm outfits dont make sense in a general environment, and she doesn't really act like a dom
4 (the blue one) seems like the most attractive, with 5 (the skimpiest) being used later
the thicker collar on the blue outfit should be on each outfit

This seems really weird because she's a main character??? Like her development as your partner in crime has been a pretty big part of the story so far.

Now, how long did this game take to make, instead of just creating one-off pictures for the patrons to vote on? I dunno. But considering they reuse all the poses for each outfit, I don't think it took that long.

It sounds like this is pretty far in the future, probably in Part 3, after the uniform changes.

I had to play the game muted because I got distracted by the Minuet no.3 in the background, I learned to play it recently.

Anyway, outfit 4 then 3 then 5.

Anyone know how the vote is going on Patreon?

Personally I hope she wears #5. She's got the best abs in the game, they should be on display.

 

[Hertopaly]

I'm not a fan of any of these lol, she almost never acts like a dom and the other two options are ugly

how to catch debbie misbehaving,after punish two times she was behaving in class.

Yes and no.
Yes the main action should go on first, other specials take time that could be spend on developing the main game, ok.

No, specials are fun and these last is done mainly to give the patrons an oportunity to vote for grafik developments directions in the main game.


Take whole thing a little bit easier.

Left one, without the panties, since they are not white they need to be confiscated.

And what's that " Mykock's Manor " thing?

And what's that " Mykock's Manor " thing?

Just a fancy poll that for non-patrons serves really as just a taster/teaser for possible cosmetic changes. If you support via Patreon however you can take your selections from the previews seen and enter them in a poll that is running until approx the 18th April.

Why not give the player the option to change costumes ingame?

Why not give the player the option to change costumes ingame?

Cause Ren'Py use prerendered images.

 

[raven54]

Why not give the player the option to change costumes ingame?

The short answer is

Cause Ren'Py use prerendered images.

The long answer is the way to get around it requires a lot of code and a million more images. While changing ingame would be nice, spending months or possibly years just to add clothing options in existing images is really poor use of development time.

Sure we can have clothing options in specific cases like office punishment, but technically it's not one scene with 3 clothing options, it's 3 scenes made from scratch to get the images and hence 3 times the disk space. If clothing options are done in general and possibly with combos of multiple options, like 3 people each with independent options, the number of images for a single screen will become huge in no time. This means options should only be done if they really add value rather than whenever it would be nice to have.

Sure it would be nice to do real time rendering and that way have clothing options and animation instead of still images. However since Ren'py doesn't support that, getting support for that means starting over from scratch with not only a new engine, but also new graphics as the current graphics have no 3D awareness and as such can't be made to swap clothes even if the engine adds support for doing so.

Right one, with no panties EZ pick for me. She gives off a disciplinarian vibe and it would be easy to implement into the story with Newman saying She dug up her old uniform

Option 4, the blue sheer dress is winning by much, both as first and second favourite option. There are over 1500 votes already so I don't think there will be much competition at this point.

I still like the basic schoolgirl outfit, but I’m old fashioned LoL
