VN Ren'Py The Repairman [0.08] [DinoInsideABox]

[Beast Within]

As I said in many places this is like a proof of concept version, ALL is subject to change. My goal with this version is to receive enough criticism to do better things. I did fix somethings already (mainly some "weird" movement on the pose creation) after the release but i cant do much for this graphical level of art with my actual hardware (i can't use simulations for animation, renders take a lot to finish, denoise makes things blurry and uglier, etc) and one thing i'm not good is texturing mapping so it could be one of the main causes for "weird" characters lol.

have you tried using daz ( a free software) to build the characters and then transfer them to blender using either the official daz to blender addon or the diffeomorphic addon? ( both addons are free ).
there are plenty of tutorials on youtube to make your life a lot easier and have some extremely good looking models. I personaly dont have a problem with your models but if you would like to take it a step further there is this free solution.

Hello mate, thanks for the suggestion and feedback. I did once try DAZ but idk if i didnt had enough knowledge at that time to learn it or if i just watched the wrong videos. I had some problems too with something on it but i dont remember what specifically. I didnt know about the addons, I'll take a look on it right away! Honestly, im limited on the hardware part (4k textures for skin and etc are a totally no no for example, 2k already takes a lot of memory and i have 4 gb VRAM =/)... And i didnt want to just make another story with same characters style as others, i really want to create original content but for it to be really good it takes time, effort, knowledge and tools. Im missing the tools and i could use more knowledge, always! XD

But in any case, im already looking into a more "artistic" style that will allow me to use animations (thats the main reason for me looking for it) for example and probably make my project more original and faster updates. I understand that it might not be for everyone (just like you dont have a problem with the characters as they are but others do) but like i said before, I have to adapt at the moment. When I reach a point where I have the tools, that is when i can do anything and only my will would stop me lol

Again, thanks a lot for the feedback!

I'm actually quite interested in this one as I can't remember any other game that has taken up the se. adventures of repair men, plumbers etc.

Anyway, I like your graphic style and design choices so far and wish you the best, DinoInsideABox.

EDIT: I mean I like the graphic style and design of the actual VN content, not the prologue one which definitely doesn't fit at all (v0.05) - especially the (far too sinister) background story, but I guess you might cover that in time...

EDIT2: Regarding the 'nuclear' view: I understand that you want to make stuff interesting for intro purposes, but maybe you should use it more sparsely later on, or attach it to some working tool of yours (e.g. protect goggles). It's a neat idea however.

The game looks interesting. Good luck.

Polished the overview a bit.

Full 3D game, I'm pretty sure it's what inspired this dev to make a similar Renpy game based more on story than gameplay.

will_990 thanks for the feedback mate! I imagine that what u called "nuclear view" are the first images, correct? If yes, it's actually more like a "painting effect" (which I intended to look like "reading from a book" before the real story starts), and I did it that way cuz it isn't the real focus of the story but it felt wrong to start without it (I mean, I needed a prologue and I didnt have the time to make it more interesting but it for sure can be improved later) and I had A LOT of problems since I decided to remake the characters and art (first I got sick, then my pc started to black screen and still doing it sometimes, I have an irl job to divide the focus with, at least until I can get support to become a full time artist, and my family members aren't the easiest people to deal with while I'm kinda "too good", like I'm always helping everyone before anything else). What I mean is that I had to choose where to spent more time on and I chose the renders/animations. My pc isn't really great too, which enforces the idea of focusing on the "content" that everyone really wanna see, if u get what I mean (story/scenes) lol

And yes, the future can make everything better mainly with people like you giving me real feedback so I'll keep what u said on my notes! So thank you and everyone else, in advance, that do/will do the same!!

PS: the "sinister prologue" might lead to some surprises later, feel free to suggest anything too!! but there will be 2 scenes coming from it, at least until I have another "creativity attack" XD


Saint Blackmoor thanks for that fr mate, so much to do that I didnt even remembered about that and english isnt my country main language so I try my best lol

ng728x I did play that game many years ago and I would be lying if I said that it has no influence on my project but in my head things are more complicated. What I mean is that every decision I make isn't based on only 1 factor. But yeah, it did inspire me at least a bit but i already "transcended" from it over the years if I'm being honest.

Thought for a sec this was Roblox porn and was like

 

[katmandomo]

Is this a Handy Manny/Bob the Builder porno parody? Are there going to be talking sex toys?

"Can we do it?"
"Yes we cum!"

A solid adult visual novel, but it would be amazing if the emotional content of the romance was explored more deeply.
