VN Ren'Py The Sinful City Fight for Love [v0.4] [Peacemaker]

[Peacemaker93]

Compression drops the quality of renders there is no way around it.

 

[Peacemaker93]

Not sure what software the dev is using but that's an issue with most AI driven image render software. They either add extra limbs, less or more than normal fingers or toes and sometimes even duplicate other parts of the human body.

There is also a finger missing on the dark haired girl in the background too.

It’s daz3d

Hey Dev!
Just wanted to give some quick feedback. I'm playing this for the first time and it's going well and all but man...please don't do the AI voice stuff. It sounds like absolute shit and takes off immersion completely. BUT if you are bent on doing it anyway, at least put the voices on Renpy's Voice channel, so I can mute only those and not lose the other audio stuff.
Thank you

Edit: oh yeah, and let us change text box opacity, its stupidly hard to read those fonts sometimes.

Terrible font, you can go blind while playing.

Well, the game isn't horrible, but the English could be a lot better. That kind of drags everything down a bit.
There are a few annoying design decisions here. For one the textbox, either offer a shader for it, or make it less transparent. It's hard to read. Which leads me to the second problem, the fonts being used here suck. What's with all those stupid outline fonts? Again, this is just a chore to read and strains my eyes.
Then, if you input a player name, it's missing a space before the word in regular text.

I also think the ages are sometimes attributed to the wrong girls.
All in all, it's not bad, but it's also not really good.

Fix the design mistakes, get a good English editor/proofreader, then this could be something good instead of just alright.

Can you point some problems with english? I would be very thankful. And about font and textbox problems you have solution provided by

Hi...here's a few changes that I put together if you want to see better visible dialog text.

Install: Extract the zip, then merge the game folders together. Run the title and make the changes as shown below.
Enjoy.

Thank you very much, those changes are amazing and make the game even better

 

[Peacemaker93]

Can you add something to change the Font color?

I hope you will be abile to enjoy it now. In my defense I play it on very bright micro led tv so I never had such a problems to begin with plus we all have digestive eyesight, I should guessed some people could have problems, but this will be fixed in next update.

Oh i definitely did enjoy it already, just didn't get far but that was due to time (late at night), not due to the textbox (very hard to read in a few situations, but not impossible). Esp. the characterizations & storytelling, loved the over the top school bully flashback, hilarious in the best sense!

 

[Peacemaker93]

I liked the first release, it was solid and you can definitely tell there was real effort and time put into it and it was a fairly linear story which I appreciate. This last update was kind of bizarre to be honest.

I really do still like the game but I just feel a few things need tweaking. You have all the ingredients for a great game, maybe just a tweak on the recipe and your golden.

Yeah I’m getting what you mean. But choice where you scold them is yet to happen, background story for sis will happen in one point on either coice you chose, so down the line even if you chose to be more forgiving to girls the story about sis will happen. It would be more logical if everything was finished. And about many choices for Naomi; she is good friend and she will have effect on story of couple main characters so how Mc chose to deal with her will have impact primarily on Abbi and that will start butterfly effect to other Li’s.

Was playing the initial release, promising. Shame this one throw tantrum when you want to use your saves.

Hahahaha I am glad you are liking it so far, please try every path it woul be worth it.

Compression always drop the quality of renders so I guess it’s good to have options, I always dl game in it’s best quality.

The people who download them don't care, and they also don't have good internet and don't want to wait 6 hours for it to download.

And to top it off, most won't even notice the difference as most are not using 4K uber monitors....

Yes you have to start new game, because I changed how game deals with choices and I have to rewrite the scrip to accommodate change, because I saw how much people like to have more choices and because I want choices to make a big difference I had to rewrite some things. I hope this is not a problem for you. What I can promise is this is the last time you have to start game from beginning and saves will work from now on.

 

[Peacemaker93]

that’s why we have compression heroes like you for them to save them.

 

[Peacemaker93]

So if I'm understanding the timeline of updates correctly, there was a huge initial release of content and then not even 3 months later another huge update. Just going off of the render count.

Cool. That makes me pretty hopeful about this. Definitely going to try this. I usually try not to play early dev stuff and as a rule of thumb, I consider "early dev" to be under either 5 updates or 1,000 renders. This dev blew that threshold out of the water with the initial release lol.

Yeah it’s getting big, plus in comparison to some games that are going for years without sex scenes this one have two meaningfully and one less pronounced.

(Here's an example of the textbox and font changes, along with the slider set to 50%.)

(This image below shows two changes made...added 4 textbox choices, and dialog box opacity slider.)
View attachment 3375620

(I used a black brick image, so I could better see the black text box choice in the preference section. As well, I view AVN's on a huge ass TV...so I like to use my dark background.)
View attachment 3375621


(Now the last thing to do...Changing the hard to see default font, hit shit A or just your A key, then change the font to DejaVu Sans.)

Thanks Bro. Can I use this fix for my next update?

 

[Peacemaker93]

Do you have a way to fix the name issue?
Example the game shows like this
Hi nice to meet youName
or
Hi you can call meName
it seems where ever the name is the spacing between the word prior does not exist.

It only seems to happen some times, like if the scene reads "Name gets into the car" then the spacing is normal.
But if the scene reads "Is this your carName?" the spacing is non existent.
Visual example below
Edit: the player can fix it themselves by putting hitting spacebar once and then entering the name. While it's a fix technically it is not really since you shouldn't need to press space.
Edit 2: I do not know if the same issue exists for the Surname as I have not yet gotten to a spot where the Surname shows in any dialogue
Edit 3: It does not appear to be an issue for anything you enter when you're in the relationship definition section

At start you have option to name your character.

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

that’s why we have compression heroes like you for them to save them.

Yes, because it's about split between folks downloading compressed/uncompressed for a lot of games, if not around 40/60, a lot more people download compressed versions than people think. Numbers can be inflated though by people posting them on other sites though.

 

[Peacemaker93]

Certainly a decent update. Played it week or two ago. Just annoys me when you pick a choice and the game tells you "WIP" or "this path is not complete yet, pick another choice".
But, on the other hand, there's at least a start and end point in the update. Just that some paths/choices are not in the game yet.
Personally, the scenes with Emma was probably the ones I liked the most, in the entire game 'so far'.

And there's only really one thing I deeply dislike about this game at the moment. The text, that font is terrible. Gives me headache, and in many cases, completely unreadable as not only is the font terrible, but sometimes you cant even SEE the text as it melts in with the background of certain scenes.
But this is honestly the only complaint I have. As of missing content/paths in the latest update..meh, as annoying as it is, not something I would put on the "negatives" list, at least not for now.

I will deal with all wip choices in next update. Also textbox and font problem will be fixed. I am glad you are enjoying the game.
