VN Ren'Py The Interim Domain [v0.30.0] [ILSProductions]

[WastedTalent]

No, I get it. I just find that level of self-insertion to be extremely weird. I am not Jack. I enjoy Jack's story, I think he's an interesting character, I enjoy his personality. Hell, the dude liked Gojira and classic Dodge Chargers, so I'm sure he'd be fun to have a drink with at a bar. But I still know that I am not Jack, and Carol is not my adopted daughter; and that doesn't stop me from enjoying their story. Likewise, I am not Michael. I'm not dead, trapped in the afterlife, trying to sort out the personal issues of those who have died in the end of the world. I don't need to be Michael to appreciate him as a character or go along with him on his journey and enjoy the mystery of the world he now finds himself in.

So yes, I find it strange that you are unable or unwilling to keep enough mental separation, and find it necessary to inset yourself so far into an established protagonist that it causes you such discomfort.




So what if the MC is dead? That's the whole premise. I mean, have you ever played a From Software game? Dark Souls? Elden Ring? The protagonists of all of those games are some version of undead, revived and trapped in a fading purgatory of a world that is dying. I've never seen someone complain about those games on the sole basis that 'I can't get into it when my character is already dead!'. I mean, have you seen The Nightmare Before Christmas? Was the film bad because Jack Skellington was already dead? Or how about Artash Menethil, the Lich King himself, from the Warcraft series? Was Thomas Anderson's story more or less compelling when he discovered the reality of the Matrix he was trapped in, effectively dying and being reborn as Neo in a new reality? How about Malcom Crowe in The Sixth Sense? Hell, I'm pretty sure that Jesus fellow is pretty dead too.

Michael is dead, as are the people he's trying to help. That's the premise. It's not like the narrative was hiding this from you, the revelation that Michael and friends are all already dead is placed front and center; it's not an Act II plot twist. So yeah, this wasn't selling you the fantasy of self-insert romance, or an everlasting harem. This is not a dating sim, and Michael is not a blank slate protagonist. Being upset that the game's very up front premise is not what you wanted, makes as much sense as being upset that a Greek tragedy like The Iliad isn't a summer blockbuster popcorn flick like Jurassic Park.

You're not upset about Michael as a character, their personality or how they're written, you're upset cause he's dead? He's fictional. All fictional characters are dead, in that none of them were ever alive. Jack is no more alive than Michael is, so why is that such an impediment to your enjoyment? They're both fictional, both equally alive or dead, so why is Michael's journey any less interesting or compelling? Yeah, Mina has passed on, but she is no more or less ephemeral than Carol, Naomi, Alice, or Sydney. They were all well written and compelling characters, the fact that one of them just so happens to have been interacted with in the afterlife shouldn't be a mark against them. I mean, even in Now & Then, you only ever encountered characters like Missy, Ted, and Lori through flashbacks, long after they've already died within the context of the story. Does that make them less compelling characters? I would argue that it doesn't, they served a crucial and engaging role in the story; even if they were already 'dead'.

At the end of the day if you're unable to maintain a healthy level of separation between you and the fiction you ingest, you might need to take a break there champ, as you might be having trouble keeping your realities straight. But again, if this game is little more than self-insert jerk off material for you, nobody can help you with that either.

The entire plot is what caused me to not play I haven't since the first or second release. I do tend to immerse into the MC as do many others and pursuing an LI on the premise they just disappear or go somewhere else was just not appealing to me. I think maybe in the end if you do things correctly there will be a reunion with the successful ones maybe even under the premise absence makes the heart grow fonder. For that reason I agree with you that the majority of players who do immerse or in your words self insert should consider if this plot is for them. I also liked the other game the dev made. Maybe I'll like the next one but this one is definitely not for me. I just popped in to see what the buzz was.. good luck dev and fappers alike.

Usually this time of the month, we're talking about the next release of The Interim Domain, but March is going to be a little different. With Now & Then Director's Cut in its final stages (testing the playable builds and uploading to file-sharing sites), we'll focus on that long-awaited launch. Rather than pack the schedule too full, TID 0.12.0 will probably get moved back to early April, because I don't want any of the great moments waiting for you to get lost with N&T 0.99.0 likely taking up a lot of people's time.

Of note: Both the PC and Mac versions of Now & Then Director's Cut will be available in compressed (sub 4GB) and uncompressed (@9GB) versions. The uncompressed version is as close to developer assets as you're going to get. Renders will have been converted to webp to maximize size, but the video is straight from the source with no additional compression.

The Android build? Yeah, that's packed in tight because of the 2GB limits. We squeezed it into the package as hard as we could to get it under the limit.

That's not to say we aren't working on The Interim Domain. In fact, a fair amount of content's already been done for the episode, so much so that we're squeezing an extra Sammy story in. And there's so much saucy content that one of them is in that gray area where we're not sure it warrants making it into the gallery or not (we could be convinced to add it afterwards). So, we'll talk more about that once N&TDC (acronyms FTW) is about to be in your hands.

Thanks for your patience and your patronage,

[.-Shiraori-.]

How far is it from the final version? Finished Now & Then and want to try this one aswell

 

[Aelth]

I think my biggest annoyance with the game is that I can't see all the content before the game forces me to go back to the main menu. Why do I have to pick and choose which scenes to see? I just end up saving at the choice screen and watching them all anyway.

And now we return you to your rescheduled updates for the Interim Domain. We've been so focused on getting Now & Then Director's Cut out the door, we kind of forgot what's in 0.12.0. So, we had to look through the renders to remember what's going on. That's not to say that there isn't good stuff in there, because this update is pretty packed with content. But, we've kinda been spread thin with 0.12.0, N&TDC 0.99.0, and content for 0.13.0 (and maybe 0.14.0 and 0.15.0 as well).

By this time, people who've been waiting for resolution for Robin's latest event will be rewarded with a big revelation, and Sammy gets two stories to get her tale moving along. We also set up a huge "two-day" event for Marisa in 0.13.0 in this update as well. In 0.13.0, we'll have some UI updates concerning the growing number of in-game selfies to talk about, but let's leave that for future posts.

Since we've already got a playable build, we'll be skipping update #2 and going straight to the release schedule next time around. But, we wanted to get some teasers out to let you know we hadn't forgotten.

Thanks for your interest and patronage!

All right, for those who've been patiently waiting, you're about to be rewarded. The Interim Domain 0.12.0 is queued up and ready for release. This one's pretty packed with content and without having our precious time split between TID and the Director's Cut of N&T, we can really throw ourselves into this. Until we start planning the next title (just not soon because doing two games at the same time is so very dumb).

The Interim Domain 0.12.0 promises to open up romantic moments for some of the newer girls and there's more overlap between the various storylines (depending on where you're at in them). And as is the usual rule, this means newer subjects for the more racy wallpapers coming soon. Though, if you don't want spoilers, I might suggest averting your eyes this month.

Here's the release schedule for 0.10.0 (all scheduled for 11:59 am EDT release):
Tier 3 - April 9, 2023
Tier 2 - April 11, 2023
Tier 1 - April 13, 2023
Public - April 14, 2023

Change Log 0.12.0

• Added new main story scenes
• New story for Kaitlin (12), Anita (10), Tina (10), Marisa (10), Robin (9), Roe (10), Sammy (6, 7), Allison (4), Saaya (4)
• Added code for when the choice menu exceeds 10 options
• Fixed typos and grammar errors
• Fixed a sound effect in Roe's Story 8 that never ends.

Thanks for your interest and support,

There's a wrong point on Saaya Story 4 on the Walkthrough. The very last choice that gives the love point is choice 1.

 

[DraxisSilencer1000]

Anyone knows what's this first two on the upper left and some of other missing scenes in between? I've been faithfully following the walkthrough you see, and seeing that there's some gap I missed somewhere makes me think that there might be some wrong stuff on the walkthrough or are there really such scenes that you can miss?



Disregard the one's near the bottom, I'm just at the start of the update so I might see them once I finally get to them.

My compressious likeses! Give them to us you filthy little pervertses!

This compression is unofficial and untested, use it at your own risk.
The compressing process reduces the quality and can break the game.

Couldn't the dev come up with some cool Cyberpunk Sci-fi kinda game? how and why in the hell he/she choose to make something like..THIS is beyond me, quite a lame move in comparison to the previous game which was so damn perfect, very disappointing

You get the first one with a bad choice in Mina 3, and you get the second one if you lock in Mina's bad end in Mina 4. Take that as you will, though given how the rest of her story went, it doesn't even matter.

 

[JB08]

Another great update.

Both MIna's story .. one if you get a BJ with her and the other if you have sex with her. They were in the walkthrough - but I didn't do this versions - you can look through for a post of mine - I did post for V11 on here which had that stuff on it.

 

[Vondoot]

Alright, played through this whole thing and I gotta say I really question what the dev is doing here. It's well written same as Now & Then and it has interesting world building around it but what in the fuck was he thinking about making this into a porn game?

Like he really thought "Right so for this game it'll start off with everyone fucking dead and then the main character has help the girls he's trying to go down on deal with their baggage by being their therapist. Oh, and when you're done helping a girl they'll piss off to their next life while you stay in knockoff purgatory. Hmmm, yep that's exactly what people want to jerk off too."

Like damn couldn't he have just written a novel and published it online without the explict content instead of making this. I mean seriously.

 

[rostabu]

well maybe he will start "the White Oak chronicles" soon
