VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Siren Bay Chronicles: Shattered Dreams [v0.2] [Poison Noir]

[Look-see]

the story was pretty ok overall. renders were good on some areas and just ok in others. the english is a little off but not enough to call it engrish in my opinion.

i mostly liked Ashira's model design but i hate nose rings so that threw me off a bit. but more importantly i didnt like sharing her with another girl so if i can im gonna avoid her from now on.

the amount of content for a first release was pretty good. although the story did feel a little fast paced but once again i like the story.

so far its good enough for me to keep playing even though theres a few girls i wanna avoid now. no idea how to feel about Alero at the moment.

Seems like a good first release, a decent amount of content, good renders, the story is interesting. Haven't played the game fully yet, but it's promising.

Thank you for sharing your opinions, I'll gladly listen to them, regarding the way the girls look as well.
I'll do my best to improve the renders, as much as my computer allows huh, it was a learning curve too.
The story was fast paced, because I wanted to set the story firmly in the ground and make solid base for future plots and more relaxed interactions

Turned sound off. But got screamed at with stock porn sound in animations. The worst

You're welcome, glad to help! I'm relatively new to Ren'Py myself, but if you ever want someone to bounce some ideas off or another head to troubleshoot stuff, feel free to reach out. Folks at Dev Help are also very helpful with such stuff.

Regarding the other things:

You should also probably either remove Nopy links or ask the mods (report on the OP) to reupload them as they contain the old build.

Without looking at the code, renpy.seen_label() is Renpy's internal function that returns true if the label id was seen in one of the playthroughs. It searches seen labels from its database that is in the persistent file. But my guess is that if persistent can't be written to the save folder within user's profile (thanks to an illegal character [:] in the save_directory variable) while playing (whether in Windows, Linux or other operating systems), seen_label might easily return false.

According to

, renpy.seen_label(id) is only used to check if the id of a label has been executed. If you needed to mark labels as seen, you'd have to use renpy.mark_label_seen(id).

Please change the MC's Head. Fucked up his face with plastic surgery or what ?!
From some angles he looks like Prince, only with muscles...

Story wise seems interesting, if a little rushed. Appreciate the noir, cyberpunk vibes though. Models look nice, but I hate unavoidable sex scenes in my adult VNs, I almost turned the game off at one point, but I've decided to give it a chance since it's so early in the game. Sex scenes were slightly boring imo with every one of them focusing on giving blowjob to the MC (maybe except one, I didn't play with Ashira when I had a choice, cause of unavoidable scene with her earlier, which made me not wanting to get near to this character). I hope for more variety in the future. Planned tags seem interesting, so this and a fairly interesting plot make me want to stay and check the next update. Good luck to the dev.

I was interested until I saw the future tags, none of my favorites but a lot of what I don't like/hate.

I get the flickering everytime i start the game. I even tried shift+G and changing the rending modes but the flickering continues.

Could you tell me exactly what happened? Maybe send a screenshot? I'd like to be sure what you mean as I never experienced it.

Oh my sorry you experienced it. It shouldn't be possible, I checked the Ren'py script, but I will look deeper into this, thanks for letting me know.

 

[dejan07]

I have made a screen capture video recording of flickering. I have uploaded it here.

My monitor is missing G-sync in Nvidia options because it is a older model but i can run games like Milfy City without any problems. Ah yes and i have insalled Nvidia driver today but it still flickers.

I am working a bit blind here as I never experienced it but could you try this and tell me if the problem persists?

It still flickers but now with only 1 picture unlike in the the previous version with 2 pictures. Whatever i press i can't get off the first screen. Maybe i am the only one with this issue here.

I am sorry you have this issue, I tried one more time with something if you want to try it out. If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask for advice someone smarter than me what can be the cause.

The same flickering as the last time with only 1 picture. Thanks for all the help!
