VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Lust Hero [v0.21] [Alteus]

[Dqslime]

Great game, honestly it's a little short but I think I just blast through these games quick. Keep it up!

 

[DrBC]

when the actual version is done?
i need a growing team, but asphyxia say that there are no more candidates yet?!

 

[LukatheDragon]

when is the next update

 

[Guts2]

Im waiting too

 

[KunyaSobe]

The public release usually comes out a week or so from the pre-release so I'd say we'll see it here around Sunday or Monday.

0.11 is out. Links are updated.

0.11 is out. Links are updated.

Something isn't right. I downloaded the latest version from the OP and checked the changelog, but it doesn't check out. I can't increase Julie's or Beatrice's PH-level. Both say I've already reached their maximum for this version. Also the changelog doesn't mention an update with Lin but suddenly I got this scene with her in the office. The changelog also mentions a new transition for the office and the University but I'm not seeing any of it.

I confirm what you say.

+ The render quality is very good, the girls look hot
+ Like the fresh setting
+ The writing is witty and clever, really enjoyed reading full dialogues for once
+ HUD, e.g. for choices, looks clean and slick
+ Liked the crafting system, not too grindy, rather natural progression
+ Awesome animated scenes

+- Indicators on the screen for what can be clicked on would be helpful

The sex scenes were great, but when I first tried to visit Lenny, my game crashed.

Drawn in by "renpy" and "superhero." Drew myself right back out.
Who is still tolerating all this grindiness at a time when so many games are reducing or entirely eliminating that particular form of content padding? If you are one of those people, WHY are you tolerating it? You need to demand better!
I'm dumping all this time for what? Still images of me eating out a receptionist...scratch that, ONE still image. I'm sure there is plenty more to follow after more grind, increasing through lame ass "levels" but seriously...not worth it. There are plenty of games that do it better.
See, it isn't the grind that kills it. Many good games have something similar. But it is way better hidden in those games, either by a compelling story, interesting characters or more exciting content. Maybe the characters get better, but if I can barely interact without brainwashing everyone, that's dull and stupid. All you get here is a few lackluster locations with crap navigation and the same boring click click click.
It really is time to start seriously cutting the wheat from the chaff in this community. Maybe this was good enough two or three years ago but tech and indy dev skills have all leveled up a bit. We deserve better.

 

[ꜱᴛᴀɢᴡᴏᴏᴅ]

Personally, I've found this game to be one of the least grindy games as far as resource gathering etc. goes. I'm not sure what else anyone can expect for a game with free-roaming elements and a focus on rebuilding a character to his former glory. And that's just it, the central plot is about rebuilding the character to his former glory, so I'm not sure how you could disguise or hide the work he has to do to get there.
Another thing, this game is still very early into development. Expecting more meaty content is pretty silly.

Can you please send me your save files so I can check what causes this issue?
Btw, the scene with Lin is actually the new office transition.

When I try to get the new scene with Julie I've got an error :

Got it. Will apply a fix for this.

Can anyone give me a save from 0.9 or 0.10?

[Scorpead]

i get the same error when visiting lenny
i just started the game for the first time so dont use old saves

 

[kasso]

yeah it doesn't seem to be dependend on the saves, the image is just missing. unfortunately i deleted my old version. otherwise i would have just copied it over.

A fix is coming. Hopefully by tomorrow.
