VN Ren'Py The Neverwhere Tales [v0.5.0.4p] [Ceolag]

[Ceolag]

Hey everyone,

A day earlier this week because of the upcoming Easter Weekend.
And because of Easter this and next week will be pretty short work-wise because the next 4 days will be filled with family stuff.

Following last week's update, I've been still fighting the random restarts while rendering in queue.
Apparently, it's not (just) Windows-related because after rolling back DAZ to an older version it's way better with the restarts.
The queue is at least somewhat usable again. I still need to find out what's happening but at least it's not the huge pain it was last weekend.

Overall, the progress this week was still not bad, especially given the fact it was one day less to work on the game.
I got 92 new static renders done and 258 new lines in the script file.
For next week, I plan to catch up with the renders to what's already scripted. And it's scripted to the point where the main part of Chapter 5 finally starts.
It has taken longer (because of more content than originally planned) to get here, but I'm happy with the result so far.

The numbers for this week:
92 new static renders for a total of 1036
35 animations (same as last week)
258 new lines in the script file for a total of 2895

I wish you guys a Happy Easter holiday if you celebrate it.
If not, have a nice weekend.

Cheers,
Ceolag

I reinstalled DAZ because it was doing a similar thing to me. I still had the problem, it turns out it was my wallpaper program (animated wallpapers) battling for resources ugh.

Anyway have a Happy Easter and great break Ceolag and everyone else for that matter.

I just spent two days making love to a bucket (stomach bug) . Two days with her would have been much more pleasant I think. I blame Joshy so much simping from him finally turned my stomach inside out.

Great googly moogly, the update is early! Everything's gone all wonky!

Over the last six days, Ceolag has been adding material at a rate of roughly 107 static renders, 0.0 animations, and 300 lines per week. Overall, he is now averaging ~84 statics, 2.8 animations, and 240 lines per week since work on Chapter 5 officially began. Here are the charts:

Spoiler: Charts - Week 13 (ish)

We're still adding assets at a decent clip, but judging by the lack of elves in the previews we still have a ways to go. Well, it's marathon, not a sprint; I don't mind waiting. Hope you have a happy Easter, Ceolag!

It looks to me like Nightingale will wind up being our guide to the elves. I can't see I'm too excited by that (she really didn't make a great first impression), but that could at least lead to some interesting reveals so hopefully it will all work out for the best.

I got to drop in to Patreon more often.

Sorry, I forgot to post the renders here yesterday evening.

The disclaimer that came with them:

From time to time I come up with an idea or want to try some new assets, lighting, etc.
That usually results in some special renders.
Most of the time they feature characters from the game but are not related to the game other than that.

nice game sadly it's one of those who force MC to oly have 1 LI....a pity really

 

[Elduriel]

a pity really

it really isn't. Maybe it's not your preference, but it's how the dev decided to make his story, and many of us in fact do like this kind of content.

I am playing chapter 4 now and don't know if this will still be adressed yet, but...

All the deal with Kaija being closer to MC because the Templars was not to protect him? So why the hell she was always travelling or working all day?

Welcome to the game.
Your question is something we have discussed on this thread quite a few times with differing opinions. If you play the different paths you will discover different scenarios with Kaija. In the one you encountered she disobeyed orders, in another path she was ordered to save him. I suggest playing at least two paths for Kaija, the one where you are angry with her and the one where you are supportive of her aka the 'love' path. The two paths are quite interesting and give different perspectives.

Thanks, I just finish playing and could get here to read some old posts.

I see a few discussions about losing trust to her, but for me was like MC don't even know her anymore. While they are in Neverwhere for the first time, she looks like another person for MC (even if he didn't say anything about it). Basicaly, she know everything about MC, and he know almost nothing about her.

That is why I took the step back path, since I was more interested in Fiona, but I am curious to see how this will go.

Exactly, the MC has been horribly deceived by his 'girlfriend' and his parents. There has been a lot of discussion over what Kaija has done. On one path she started a relationship with him because it was convenient for her and she has no feelings for him. On the 'love' path she started the relationship because it was convenient, but she does have feelings for him. I think most of us have saves for each path.

I use five saves, one for each of the four LIs and then another one with no LI just to see what happens on that path. I usually just have saves for the paths for the LIs I like, but with this game I am enjoying it and I don't want to miss out on the story on the different paths.
