VN Ren'Py The Lost Love [Ep.5 U3 2025-01-14] [SpeedPostX]

[SonsOfLiberty]

Good story and great renders and models and HUGE DICK

BUT...
Too many conspiracy/Plotting (against MC?)
too many secrets (Hiding from MC)
ZERO Privacy (cyber stalkers and physical stalkers)
Non value Tsundere character
over-rated SUSPENSE and MYSTERY toward player

I think first 5 episodes will be without any Answers for the mysteries. so i will just wait for VN to COMPLETE(another 2 years or what) to play and enjoy. Overall GREAT VN

Unless you've played the newest episode 4 (beta) and its closing in on the final, so much has changed...I've posted in depth about it on previous pages.

i mean its cool that you have some infos we dont, but we can only discuss what we played so the 0.4 Beta is of no relevance to the discussion till it drops here.

i did read the changelogs or dev announcements or whatever you posted the last two pages before i said that your information have no relevance to the current discussion.

And in no post it told us anything new about what happened in part 01 - 03 as that's what's publical available, so we discuss exactly that.

if you have a problem with that leak the demo so we all can discuss on your level or come back down to us plebs and stop telling us that we are wrong because 04 said so.

Never said anyone was wrong, I said a lot has been changed....

And no point leaking the beta with the final coming out soon, then this game not being able to get promoted again.

Hi, everyone. I hope you guys are doing well. This is the final update post before the game release. I will explain everything in a few points about the latest update.

1. STORY - [30k words] 100%:
I'm done with the script, there are slight changes to the end of this episode, but there is nothing left to write on episode 4. I know this episode has a lot of new characters and world-building but it was necessary for future episodes.
There were a lot of questions about Jennifer and Mikayla, this update will clear up those questions.
Cynthia the neighbor will break another boundary.
Even Chloe has a scene in this update, you will find her personality a bit different from the previous episode for obvious reasons.

2. SCENES 85%:
Only one and a half scenes are left to make, I would have completed all this sooner but I was also focusing on the rendering. And the 2nd last scene was a bit time-consuming because of the setup, I did the setup all by myself instead of using a readymade one. Also, lewd scenes are more time-consuming. Both lewd scene has 120+ renders and 3 animations each.

3. RENDERS: 70%
I wanted this to be around 90% but rendering is the most time-consuming task of them all. I will focus on this more after I'm done with making new scenes.

4. ANIMATIONS - 100%:
All six animations are done. I am happy I was able to make them without many difficulties. I did see a few animation tutorials to learn animations and how to make them look better, Usually, they keep five points of transmission to make smooth, seamless animations but I use 4 points because I want to keep the frame count under 100.
Daz doesn't render animations, it renders still images. If there are 73 frames of one animation and one frame takes 5 minutes to render that means a total of 365 minutes, 6 hours more or less.

5. RERENDERS: [DELAYED]:
Because I wanted to release the update as soon as possible I have stopped making rerenders for now, after the release I will focus on this. Rerenders were taking a lot of time, which I was lacking. So I think before the public release I will be done with the rerenders.

6. CODING: 75%:
I have finished coding most of the scenes and updated the walkthrough mode. I have fixed the Maya's scene which was not present before.

7. TESTING:
After packaging the game I will test it for 3 days, to confirm there is no error and crashes. I hope the last build didn't crash for you. I didn't receive any complaints about its stability. So I want to keep this up.
We are close to the final release, I will ping you once when I start testing the build.

It will even let you name the contents of your spoiler, like I did above when I quoted your post.)

As for the error, I cannot duplicate it. I don't see this problem at all. Are you using a mod or anything? There could be an error in that, in which case you'd want to ask whomever created the mod.

There is a fixed version that came out after the mod I think, just don't click on preferences. The mod won't be fixed till a new version. Best case, remove teh mod or just don't click preferences while it installed or do preferences first then install mod afer the fact.

Testing Phase.
Hey, Speed here. Sorry for taking a few days more but finally everything is done. I will start testing the build now.

RENDERS - DONE
ANIMATION - DONE
MUSIC/SOUNDS - DONE
EDITING - DONE
CODING - DONE [Codes can change depending on the testing]
I have one more thing to say I have already started writing ep5.
In the previous posts, I said I was working on remaking the game's first scene. I have written that scene, I will be making a post about it soon, I will work on it after releasing EP4 first.
I can't wait to show you the full game. I will be testing it thoroughly, it will take 2 to 3 days.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Spanky spanky





(This description is only for Ep4.)

1. RENDERS: [2200+]
I can't believe but yeah... 2200+ renders. Recently I found out that not all screen shows accurate colors, and my laptop doesn't have 100% sRGB. I was curious about my renders and whether they look good or not on a better monitor/TV. So I hooked up my TV to see my old renders and found out I used to saturate my render a lot more than I should have. But with Episode 4 that has changed, and my renders will change for the better from now on.

2. STORY: [60K words/2.5 to 3.0 hour]
About the Characters:

• Jill: You will see a lot of Jill(Policewoman) in this episode. You will also learn how she started bullying our protagonist, and you will see her in action.
• Kavita(The Indian beauty) is also in this update, as I have said already, she will get a bigger part than just being Mrs. Patel now. And I have given her a more interesting storyline, I hope you will like the way I'm going with her.
• Dixie (The crazy reporter) You only saw a glimpse of her, but you will see A LOT of her in this episode.
• Ashley (Ebony beauty), you will see the wall between her and our protagonist slowly but surely breaking in this episode.
• Chloe(The Cam Girl), I know she may not be people's fav, but she has a scene in this, and you will see more of her submissive side.
• Maya, you will finally see her kink in this episode, from the start I knew if I was introducing a lot of characters I should at least give them different kinks. I know, discussing Maya's kink is a bit risky here but I hope you are getting where I'm going with her
• Cynthia (The redheaded neighbor), you will finally break the boundary that is stopping you with her. Also, you will meet the annoying Donald.

About the world building:

• Novus City- This update is going to be a lot of world-building. Starting with the name of the city where Mc is living right now, which is called Novus City. This city is surrounded by the sea from three sides, with a lot of beaches, casinos, hotels, and a lot of foreign money coming to the city. Which makes this city a haven for organized crime groups. I have also made an AI image for this city, I don't think I'm that talented enough to make a whole city in a few days in 3D right now. But here it is-

• Criminal groups:- In Ep4 you're going to be introduced to many criminal groups who ruled Novus City and still are. Because there is enough money for every group, they have divided the city between each other. How Mc is connected to all this will be explained briefly in ep4. I'm going to make a post about this and show you guys some of those crime lords.
• NCPD:- Novus City Police Department, you will see a lot more side of NCPD through Jill, even characters like the captain and the lieutenant of NPD. (I have only searched a little bit of these ranks and I hope I have given the right ranks to these characters.)
• The pacing: At first I wanted to keep the bigger plot hidden till episode 5, but I have decided to change the pacing now, that is the reason this update is this big. My first thought was that I should introduce the LI first, progress in their path, and then introduce the actual plot but now I feel I should keep them going parallel.
• Blood and violence: This episode will contain some scenes with blood, I think I have to add that to the notes at the start of the episode. I want to know if you guys have a problem seeing the blood or if I will have to change things in the post, I will think about this more and ask a few devs about this.
• The antagonist: Every good story needs a good antagonist, and this story has one too. Usually, antagonists like these reveal themself at the end of stories but I don't like that way, I want to create a rivalry between our Mc and our antagonist. The connection of this antagonist to Mc and his past will be shown in this episode too.

A few changes in the story:

• In EP3 I have added Maya's missing scene, with only Ashley's route
• In Ep3 Mikayla's neutral scene is added
• In Ep3 Maya's Scene with Only Jennifer's route.

3. ANIMATIONS: [10]
All 10 animation has more than 60 frames, so a total of 600 render frames.



4. CODES: [02 new features]
Two big features in this update are...

• Path Maker:

Which is already been discussed a page back...


In this updated Walkthrough mode, you will get hints about the choices you are making.

I know it took too long to make this episode, so I will try extra hard to make Episode 5 quicker.

RERENDERS

Hi, Speed here. I took a day off, and now I'm back on this. There are 50 or so scenes left to render again with all kinds of problems, poke-through, texture problems, or wrong texture. I have already started grinding them. A few of those are here.
As I have said before, The Beach Lady you meet in the morning scene will change, I hope you guys liked her character design and look.

Jill had quite a few bad renders, because of a weird texture in her eye but after some lighting change, I fixed it.
I hope you guys liked the game and you didn't encounter any crashes or problems while playing.
I have already started writing episode 5, I will soon release the next episode's storyline.

As always thank you for your support and patience.
