Ren'Py The Spinney [v0.21] [Dannot Games]

[PapaPhat]

Yep. What you said, PapaPhat. Any time there is a resource management game, there's going to be some trial and error in finding the right balance. I never thought I'd enjoy a "real porn" game, and Dannot Games proved me wrong, so I have no trouble continuing to support it and being patient.

The other problem I've noticed on F95 and Discord is that the more you like a game, the more you feel you own it, and the more frustrated you get about those little things you don't like--I've noticed myself getting stupidly irritated about the most trivial shit in some of my favorite games (dammit, Cosy Creator, why can't the MC take his fucking clothes off before he has sex once in a while?). I guess there's no way to avoid that except to be aware of it and try to be an adult about it.

Yeah... me too! I get the most adamant regarding titles I love that have something that I find objectionable that stands in the way of me enjoying the game. Such is not the case here though so we can have that chat in a sidebar DM one of these days. At present, Saturday night has turned 2AM Sunday morning here in the Sonoran desert and I need to wander off into slumber land once again...

That said, I have found that Dannot Games has been rather accepting of fan input and responsive to our pleas for improvements. I said as much in my five star review. I don't write many reviews as I don't read them and have tried other "real porn" titles yet this is the only keeper of all I have tried... keeper meaning that I actually keep the files stored in a special AVN WIP folder in between updates. The really great ones, like The Spinney, are accessed and replayed. Many of the scenes can be replayed through the basic day to day game play. For the rest, I make a lot of saves. The sex scenes are easy for me to find that way... I just look for the saves with a nude image. Hahaha

Adventure ever on my friend, Phat

The water system is still imperfect but much more manageable now. Just need to amp up our food production by double or even triple. Also, some scavenging trips to find things like bullion cubes, salt, pepper, herbs, spices, dried pasta...

Hello,
The 3 main feature coming next are:
-Expeditions (triggered by Emily's story)
-new ways to have food with these expeditions
-active corruption system


What you describe is already planned in the expeditions.

About food, dont forget that you can have eggs in the farm now.
nospamjunk About water and food, dont forget that you can ask the girls to help you. They will do the tasks for you if you dont like the water gameplay. You will only need to manage the rain water.

eggs in the farm

Eggses! It has eggses and didn't think to share?!? That won't do now, will it precious? No! Not at all!!! Gollum! Gollum!

Hahaha

Seriously... Where are these mysterious eggs of which you speak? From where do we find the magic chickens??? I don't remember reading anything about eggs. Please advise.

Adventure ever on my friend, Phat

PS: As I understand it from the dialogue, the girls will go down and send the water from the vat to the main tank when it is finished filtering. However, there is no mention of them refilling said vat. THAT is where I could use a break. Turning the valve to send the water to the main tank is easy. Refilling the 400 L vat is what takes all day. Just having 400 L worth of barrels instead of only 200 L would help as most of my time refilling the vats is running to the well in the Spinney to refill the barrels. If we had 400 L worth of barrels to catch rain, that would save me a TON of wasted time. So, while we are out scavenging, might be rather nice to come across another 200 L worth of barrels to catch rain water. I don't let the girls mess with the water flow because there isn't always room enough for 400 L in the main tank just because the filtration cycle is finished. If unchecked, both 400 L vats could be transferred the same day and run most of it right over into the dirt. Again, flipping the switch to transfer water is nothing and not helpful. Refilling the vats would be most helpful and having 200 L more barrel space to catch rain would be ideal. Otherwise, we seem to be on the same page, my friend! Keep up the amazing work!

All these sides events are in the WT.

About people complaining about the gallery:
I plan to add a gallery but it will took some time
First I will do a phone pic gallery, then a Replay of all main events.

I'm not one to rely on walkthrough documents... ever. Until missing this egg thing, I hadn't missed a beat! I do check the changelog to confirm I hit all of the side content but I have yet to see one I missed until the eggs... Tomorrow's breakfast will be omelets with tomatoes and hash brown potatoes!!! Yummy! When I play games with choices, I do not play Let's Make a Deal and only look behind one door. I make a save and chase every possible path. No walkthrough can compete with seeing every possible angle. Just never thought to explore the farm again. Thought I had seen all there was to see at the farm... heading back now... ciao!

Edit/Updated: Found the chickens! Built a coop! Collected my first 5 eggs! Huzzah! Thanks for the helpful hint Zirenaz, my friend! Dannot Games, I double checked the changelog and found no mention of eggs/farm at all. That is why they were invisible to me. You hid the chickens in a place that had been searched to death with no clue to search again. Somehow I hear the new girl with the caravan sneaking around at the farm but do not hear chickens clucking or a rooster crow that everyone in the area could hear??? I do not need a walkthrough to play this game, just good clues. Most of the time your clues/changelog info. But, you dropped the ball on the chicken/egg thing. I had no clue, no idea until you said you put eggs in the game here in forum. Not angry, just don't make it so that we have to use the walkthrough to find all of your clues. A list of what is new in a changelog and well placed clues in game is all I have needed thus far. You may wish to consider a better hint for chick/eggs... like a quick panel when approaching the farm where MC thinks, "Did I hear... clucking? Hmmm... I better take a look..." Something like that would work... a bit obvious but it works. The other thing would be to have a rooster crowing awaken MC a good bit earlier than his normal routine. "Was that a... rooster? I better have another look at that farm!"

Adding a gallery this late in the game is a mistake IMHO. Making severe changes can lead directly to players needing to make a new game save due to drastic changes in the game code trashing existing saves. At v0.03 that would have been easy. At v0.11 it is a HUGE pain in the ass! Please don't do that. Finish the game first, then you can make whatever major changes you wish. I will gladly replay at that point. I really enjoy this game! If you can incorporate a gallery without sending all of us back to start over then Phat will STFU. However, I have seen this several times in the past. A few of those devs flat failed to incorporate a gallery because of the intricate nature of their game code, which I see being possible with The Spinney, or the dev was successful and caused all players to lose all saves requiring a full restart. Please don't do that. Your time is much better spent on creating this amazing game than pandering to a few complaints regarding a gallery. Half of the sex scenes can be replayed in MC's day to day activities anyway. I dropped saves for the ones I figured wouldn't have a replay. It would be nice to have a gallery for all of the phone images as well as messages. Once those are gone they are gone. They should be stored in the phone to access again later but not if making that change will require a restart. No update is worth a restart at this point. We are much too far along in this story. Thanks.

You need to sleep with a New update to apply bugfix and New content

Thanks for the eggses ;-) I also did find it and was positively surprised..... But still trying to solve my Aidra lockout (https://f95zone.to/threads/the-spinney-v0-11-dannot-games.125535/post-11132125), did you had the time to look at it by chance ? Many thanks and keep up the good work !

- This version will be never upload again and there will be no futur update.
- I will not share any precise tutorials or tips to reproduce this kind of work. So please don't ask for it. You will simply find below some global analysis and feedbacks that could help you.

Analysis & Feedbacks

- No need to be a machine learning expert. I simply have some development skills that allow me to setup the solution and remove some NSFW protections.
- The model used is very efficient for face swapping when the face is fully visible but gives ugly results when there are obstacles in front of the face. So sorry but blowjob scenes are a shame .
- Swapping face on 1 picture is pretty easy, but needs to be completed by a another model that improves the face definition. This second one is currently twice longer, and so has not be applied for videos.
- Multiple characters:
- The model used is swapping all faces on the video, so scenes with multiple characters have not been modified.
- For the pictures, the work has been done by splitting the picture and then applying the face swapping.
- To achieve a correct result, one of the most challenging thing was to find some matching morphologies.

I don't really understand your problem.
I checked your save, I opened the phone at night, and you have a message of Aidra.
In your save, you're in the evening, so be sure to wait for night and check your phone. The notification icon is ON during night.

Dude... This is some really messed up shit here. I love the Spinney because it has real models, not some photoshopped faux fucks. Aidra now looks like faux Keira Knightly, Vanna like faux Jessica Alba, Jillian and Emily looked better before you changed them, Athena went from exotic goddess to Miley fucking Cyrus and the rest just look like some Disney princess version that no longer resembles reality. Real women have imperfections. That is what makes them REAL, not some fake ass bullshit wanna be too fucking pretty for her own good bullshit.

You'll be lucky to evade a lawsuit for this bullshit. Phat out

Dannot Games, did you see this bullshit???

 

[Dannot Games]

I think it was just a POC, no need to be harsh on it.

It's always nice to see what is possible with AI. I think there is still a long way to go, like you said real women have imperfections, it's hard to match them.

Also, this guy is not stealing my identity, or asking money for it, so I'm fine with it.
I will not flame people who want to work with my game to do a POC... It's still a real porn game after all, so I'm not in position to talk about stealing media.

Be cool, it's only a game

PS : Kenzie AI is scary as fuck

IMHO, they are ALL scary as fuck! They look distorted and unreal. Not digging it at all.

You need to empty your vat into the main tank.
Alina & Vina can do it in auto-mode if you ask them., or you can do it yourself.

Containers --> To recolt rain water (or ask yourself/Lacy to fill it with water from the well)
Vats --> to Filter rain water
main tank --> Empty your vats inside the main tank to store water (or ask Alina/Vina to auto-do it)

You can keep track of these 3 in the stat menu (in your phone).

If you're still in emergency, you can ask Aidra to help you in the morning (but you will consume fuel).
