VN Ren'Py Completed The Symbiant [v1.1.7] [HeartCoreDev]

[hcdev]

Some people asked to compress popular games to 200 MB, so your game is not the smallest that was compressed .
I took the post as it sounded, if it's just curiosity, that's fine.
The number of downloads could be tracked if I uploaded to GoFile or PixelDrain, but with such demand, I don't see the point.
It's good that this is an example of video, but it doesn't always make sense to compress video with high quality.
Thank you for answering.

Thanks for sating my curiosity! And 200 MB? maybe they have a really slow or limited 4G connection? Oo

What do you think of crunchers like "Yet Another Cruncher"? I tried it on my game out of curiosity and sure enough, it did crunch the files into something smaller, though not as small as the one you uploaded.

I posted a

on the /r/argaming (Argentinian gaming) subreddit asking about regional pricing and got a hundred replies from Argentinian gamers who were super nice and helpful.

Now I'm considering doing the same in an Eastern European subreddit in the euro zone, where regional pricing unfortunately doesn't work the euro price tag is the same on East and West Europe, despite the difference in average salary and costs of living... maybe Romania? Or Lithuania?

Would any native Italian speaker be interested in checking a snippet of our official Italian translation? The game's script is 100% translated in Italian, but we would like to assess its quality and whether it sounds natural.

If interested, please let me know in this thread or send me a PM.

"Nobody is heterosexual in this game, not even the green lady, and you can't date her either."
My headcanon will be that the only reason Danya is gay is because he ran out of women.

It's a great visual novel and I love the chemistry between Danya and Brahve, as well as Danya's and Juniper's friendship. I will be watching this one closely.

Thanks for the kind words! I think the game just wouldn't be the same without Juniper onboard and I hope everyone has someone like her you can banter with and confide in, even in more embarrassing moments.

I've seen this game popping up here from time to time and this is my first time playing it, and I just wanted to say that I really love and enjoy playing your game! I'm a big fan of super awesome visual novels, and your artwork and story development are amazing! And the ''Steamy scenes'' (I'm trying to keep my words PG lol) are very hot! I wish I had the funds to support you on Patreon for I feel like it's definitely worth supporting even if it's available on this site. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to do so, at least for now, but if I ever get a raise/promotion on my job, I would definitely like to give my support one day soon! ❤

But this is a porn forum! No need to censor words here
And no worries, we have all the money we need to finish the game (well, the game IS finished, just being polished now). Right now we use the Patreon money for stuff like translating in other languages, more music tracks and more extra stuff that we believe can improve the game and reach a wider audience. Depending on where you live, getting it in Steam when it is released in February might be more affordable to you.

I think everyone has that one friend who, at times you'd want to sucker punch them, but there's also times where you know that you know that they truly value the friendship and you couldn't live without their trust and honesty.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

I have some great news: after 4 tries, Steam approved our (SFW) build! That's one less major hurdle to our planned release on February! In the meantime, we're working hard on the achievements, the translations and the DLCs. We really hope to get as many translations done as possible for the launch.

Congrats on Steam giving the greenlight on it!
Is there a limit on translations? Just asking a bit innocently.

Thanks! And what do you mean by limit? We can add as many translations as we like, provided we 1°) can afford them and 2°) we are sure enough people will buy in that language to justify translating it.

Yeah that's fair, was just curious since I could translate it into Swedish with five cups of coffee. So it was mostly just a question about if it was free to translate out of good will haha.

Would you be alright talking about it more it details through Discord? We are curious about the BL fandom and the video game market in Sweden.

Certainly! Just give me a DM through here and I can give the Discord info, and we can discuss further on it there.

Hey, this looks really good!

 

[hcdev]

Our MEGA account got taken down after people from a certain website reported the links. Thankfully, just like you can't take down piracy, you also can't take down our willingness to spread alien dicks all over the internet.

To the person who went by "E" in our survey: we thank you for your very thoughtful answer and we hope that you can find more friends and perhaps a community that accepts you for who you are. Depending on where you live, perhaps you could find a youth center or LGBT+ association near you where you could get valuable advice (finding a new home, finance, legal advice, etc...), or failing that, at least someone who will be willing to listen to you without judgment.

I'm aware it's not easy though, and even less so since COVID and recessions are happening in real-time. Either way, just know you're not alone and finding a way out of your situation will definitely be easier if you have someone who can accompany you along this journey.

in case you want to sate our curiosity and maybe get a free copy of both The Symbiant and Synthetic Lover. (everyone can answer, pirate or not)

​

Art
5 CGs are complete for the first DLC. In order to keep the quality of the art consistent, stay on schedule, and alleviate some of 700HASH's workload, we decided to hire Doubleleaf as a colorist for the remaining CGs. Doubleleaf previously worked on our side story sketches, which we've put on hold to focus on everything else. (Doubleleaf is the CG artist of Coming Out On Top and main artist of Baradise Escape. They previously did sketches for our little short stories.)

Sitai, on their end, finished another gorgeous sci-fi interior background and will be working on its variations.

​

Writing
Irlana is hard at work writing the second DLC! (The first one's writing is finished already)

The first 9 scenes are written and they already include two temperature-raising scenes (with 2 more VERY HOT scenes planned for this DLC!). The mood is quite different between the two DLCs: one is dramatic and angsty, and another one is fluffy and very... very indulgent. We really hope you will enjoy both of them!

Programming
After much trial and error, Fable has finished implementing all 54 achievements of the game! Although more testing will be needed for the Steam version.

​

Beta: version 0.7.0
The latest beta covers up to scene 32, making more progress on the Blue route! It is available as usual on

I love processing survey data, so I can't wait for the survey to be over so I can clean the answers and find interesting patterns. In particular I wanna know where people first hear about The Symbiant VS where they found the survey.
