VN Ren'Py The Neverwhere Tales [v0.6.0.2] [Ceolag]

[yossa999]

I really don't get it.

Sigh... If only that was the only thing you didn't get...

Man, these girls look no significally better or worse than the main LIs, seriously, if you see a 700x difference between them, then most likely you are turned on by very specific things, I don't know, the shape of the earlobes or the length of the right pinky...

Wait a minute, the first one is the same model as Tara on your pfp, right? Admit that you showed the other two just to distract attention from your favorite, you dirty Tara's simp!

Hey everyone,

a weird week that was.
Of course, the day job was pretty hectic due to the start of the month and getting back to it after 2 weeks of vacation but that was to be expected.
I'm glad it's finally Friday (part 1).

The other thing was (is...) the Steam release today.
I didn't expect it to make me that nervous and I spent more time checking various Steam statistics throughout the week than I'd like to admit. ;-)
The build is ready and today I'm running some last tests on it.
I don't expect any bugs, it's just the anxious me wanting to double and triple-check everything.
The release will be later today, probably in the late afternoon/early evening (CEST).
I'm glad it's finally Friday (part 2).

I still managed to get a bit of writing done and started setting up the first renders for Chapter 6.
The first scene is mostly done (including renders), and scenes 2-5 are written (but not all of them in code yet).

The first numbers for Chapter 6:
26 static renders
0 animations
425 lines in the script file

Damn... Early development always looks sad...

I guess that's it for now.
Have a nice weekend, guys.

Cheers,
Ceolag

Thanks Ceolag - I ended jumping the gun on you by posting the dev log, so I'll delete my post in favor of the way you keep us all informed!

Cheers!!

Sorry, Pax.
Didn't see your message when I was writing mine. Took me a while because copy&paste fucked up the formatting.
As with the Chapters before, I intend to share everything that's public on Patreon here too.

No worries - you are one of the devs that interacts well with the F95 community, and I'll always put you first when it comes to posting.

Thanks, not just for the great story, but for bringing us into the tale a bit - answering questions and helping with lore, etc.

Have a great weekend and I'm already looking forward to more sneak previews!

Cheers!!

Seeing as we're getting proper numbers, might as well make the new development cycle official by giving it some charts. If we assume development on Chapter 6 began on August 9*, Ceolag has been averaging approximately 6.5 statics, 0.0 animations, and 106 lines per week so far in this dev cycle. Here are the charts:

Spoiler: Charts - Week 4*

As Ceolag said, the lines always look small at the start, but they should improve markedly by next week as the cycle settles down.

Meanwhile, we have our one preview image. Interesting that the MC seems to be leaving at night rather than the following morning as Medb had previously implied. Guess we'll have to wait and see if there's any significance to that detail.

 

[motseer]

My take on the MC's looks. I think the point is, the MC is just an average Joe all this is happening too. The girls are choosing him because he has sparked their interest not because he is the local handsome bad boy who dicks everything that moves. This isn't a hunk-fucks-everything-that-moves game. You're in the wrong place. You have to push the right buttons or they will say no (Helena, Kate, Kari, etc)

Elea is a very intelligent girl and has chosen him from all the other guys because she sees him as husband material. As someone who will see beyond her quirks and not hump and dump the weird girl.

Fiona is ancient and has probably had a 1000 super hot knights and warriors, but she is attracted to the MC because of who he is as a person not because he is a hunk. I bet she is sick and tired of shallow relationships after 1000s of years, has probably shagged in every possible way countless times. Kari is the same, she is ancient and she isn't interested in just jumping in to bed with people. They have to really work at capturing her interest, Fiona likewise.

Medb has a lot to lose. Loving a human will be a huge scandal. If she goes after the MC she is risking a lot so it better be true love or she is fucking up her life for nothing. So she is not seeing the MC as hunk, but as a human male who has something different about him, not for personal looks which is kinda the point of it all.

Kaija has multiple personalities (I've met plenty of those women ugh), so loving Kaija is interested in him because of their shared history. She wasn't interested in him sexually or attracted to him. It grew in to love as they lived together and their relationship grew. Bitch Kaija is not attracted to him, doesn't love him. He is just a plain guy and of no real interest to her as an LI, just as a friend due to their shared history.

So if you want to play as a super hot MC that girls fawn over then this is probably the wrong game for you.

Couldn't agree more with all you say here, GOA. Still, just a little bit less forehead woulda been nice...

Hey, I'm nothing if not consistent. I have a type and I know damn well what I like

We all know it's a pointless exercise to argue taste as we all have our own preferences. What I do argue is the models and how almost all of them look a little "off" here and there to me. Take Kaija for example. No one can say say she isn't a smokeshow. But at the same time I can't pretend I don't notice the heavy masculine features of her face that turn me off.

Still that won't keep me from enjoying the game. I've never done a sexless, "evil" playthrough in any AVN because it's not my style. I will here because it's what "fits best" imo.

 

[BGRW2020]

The spidey sense and succubus resistance make him already an outlier in terms of being average, his upbringing may have been normal, but his blood ain't.
He's no Chad McThundercock, so far......

Also Also how many times have you seen a real beauty going out with what you and I would call a dog, and wondered why him
and also all the models of the women are made to be perfect, in real life - not so much

 

[Tremonia]

We all know it's a pointless exercise to argue taste as we all have our own preferences.

Don't get me wrong but why do you argue tastes in the Summer's Gone thread then? Well, and here in this thread too, like the post about the pole dancers. Most time I read your posts it's telling the people what you don't like and why. Again and again and again... That's argueing tastes in my books. No offense. Just wondering.

I think your perspective of my posts is extremely skewed. I go out of my way to consistently formulate phrases in a manner where they won't be interpreted as me stating a fact.

I overuse stuff like "imo", "to me", "in my perspective" for that reason. Hell I mostly only get pissed off when people try to pass their opinions as fact so it would make no sense for me to do the same. I have a clear preference for slim and athletic characters with "modest features". I never chastize anyone for having a different taste. I would though, criticize a dev for changing character models more often than I change underwear.

Otherwise I don't know. Maybe it's because most of my posts point out negative stuff? I have made it clear before that I always focus on the negative aspects of any game as I believe that is the best way to pass along feedback that may eventually lead to improvement. That's on me. I don't do well with "good job"'s and pats on the back because that leaves me with nothing to work on. On the other hand if someone points out what I did wrong I know exactly what I need to fix.

Regarding this game, my ONLY criticism is literally the characters. The models and their personalities for the most part. I have trouble liking or relating to anyone here. But that's me. Literally everything else is good here or above average. The style, the renders, the dialogue, the story... I have no other complaints other than most of the characters.

Kaija has multiple personalities (I've met plenty of those women ugh)

Why you should always love her for her personality GoA. They have like 27, so you can pick your favourite

Hell I mostly only get pissed off when people try to pass their opinions as fact

Preach brother. My only exception is about Katie but I think people know me well enough now to know it's all tongue-in-cheek.
