VN Ren'Py The Witch's Accord [Development Thread]

[The Witch's Accord]

So... saw reddit, saw the new Myrren, and its been a good ride. I liked her old design so much more. I honestly don't even know if I want her in the harem anymore, just cause I am disappointed by it. Old Myrrren was just better in my opinion. Sad to see it go.

Looks like the change won’t be happening just yet. The old design got more votes then the new one at least for now but I wanna know what is it about the old one that you like so much?

It a bit hard to explain in some ways. But I guess I'll try.

I think the hair just looks better, the face looks prettier to me. From the few images in the old, her boobs look slightly bigger maybe and perkier. I feel like she just looks younger, and has natural charm and beauty, where with new one looks more rough, tomboyish type look.

I think those are main reasons.

The problem is, people are pornified with this all clean pornstar looks. Big balloon jugs perfect spotless skin. The hair argument i can get with, but her entire body looks much more realistic with the new skin texture, nipples look real. But people hate it coz they are used to watching spotless big jugs bimbo bodies.

Well, it looks based off patreon, Myrren won't even keep the old hair with new model. She was my number 1 or 2 girl and one of the ones I was most excited for.(along with Lyra)

Now we lost her original model, lost her perfect hair, lost her big boobs. (All girls really have smaller boobs now, they just all seem small. Wished one character had a bigger chest, not massive, but bigger.) Just lost everything.

Its unfortunate, I wish one of the other girls got messed up instead. I might just control skip through all of Myrren's scenes now, cause what's the point to view them, I might just be too letdown knowing what we had.

One of my favs messed up and ruined. I just wished you never showed her model originally if this was going to be case. I am just sad.

Holy...thats... deep. And i think you are over reacting a little bit. But if you think of her backstory, the new model would make perfect sense. The old model looked like a girl who had her boobs done. Even the skin texture was unrealistic, no one has a perfect spotless skin, even the new nipples are soo detailed.

Myrren was raised by a single father who was a fisherman, who was killed and she became an orphan when she was younger. The only family she has is a man, i.e. MC. So naturally he has had a boyish impact on her, she is not very proper with her looks, like you would expect a normal girl to be. Her new look perfectly captures that, especially her new hair, they are not perfectly taken care of, as Myrren has important things in her mind, one of which is the survival of MC & herself.
Although the poll is not finalized yet, but her old hair were wayy too groomed, pretty sure completely mismatched her personality.

When I first created her, I had a completely different story and personality in mind that matched her original look. But after the whole visa and Steam situation, I decided to scrap that direction and take things in a completely new route. The new story and personality just didn’t fit her old design, so I had to make the change.


I’m really sorry the changes made you feel let down, but I truly hope that once you get to play the game, you’ll see why I made them and enjoy the game even more.


And honestly, it means a lot to me seeing you comment about it. The game hasn’t even launched yet, and we already have people like you so eager to stand up for their favorite girls. Thank you so much for caring.

You say different story, but changed during Visa and Steam situation. I just looked, same last names for MC and her. Were we related? Cause if so that is equally disappointing, cause I like the taboo type relationship. So would be slightly more let down if true there too. (Especially cause I see other games get away with it like CS)

And yeah, maybe I'll come around once I fully play and get into it, just hard not to be letdown.

There are no planned incest/tabboo relationships. MC is noble born, whereas Myrren is a fisherman's daughter.

The last name is also the player’s choice, just like the first name. If you don’t enter one, the default will be set to Kael Vire.

Then, I wonder why her story needed to be changed in first place, cause Visa/Mastercard was only targeting select things.

I like this. Not many games do this, but its like added immersion.

Plus it will be added effect when all the girls take our last name after marriage.

Myrren's story arc had a dark past, if you know the things mastercard targeted you would know what i'm talking about. It was never about incest tabboo but a dark serious thing.

I like the concept of this game.

 

[The Witch's Accord]

It’s been 69 years since my last post (okay, more like 10 days, but who’s counting?). You’re probably wondering where I’ve been. Short answer: out of town dealing with family stuff. Long answer: it sucked. Anyway, enough of that. Let’s get back to business.

We ran a little poll, and thanks to the sacred power of democracy, our new Myrren is now officially integrated into the game. I think I already explained why I made the change, but hey, dev logs need to look chunky, so let’s go over it again.

The game is set to have six main love interests (yeah, I know. I said five before. We’ll talk about that in other post). Each of them, just like the MC, has been assigned an alignment good, evil, or neutral. Why? Because if you’re going for a harem, the wavelengths need to match. No good girl is sticking around if you’re out there plotting world domination.

Originally, Myrren was meant to fall into the 'evil' slot, but with the tweaks I made to her bckstory, that no longer fit. She’s now holding it down in the neutral camp. Her personality shifted along with it, which led to some story adjustments. The old Myrren just wasn’t lining up with what I needed her to be anymore.

Plus, if I’m being honest? I wasn’t a fan of her original design. So I pulled the trigger on some updates, and now we’ve got a version of Myrren that fits the story and actually feels right.

Now onto something I’m really fucking excited about. I’m bringing AI music into the game. Yeah, you heard me right: AI is taking over.

To be honest, I always kept my distance from AI. Couldn’t bring myself to trust it, felt like some kind of taboo. But after seeing other devs sneak it into their projects in one way or another, and after banging my head against the wall over the music situation, I finally caved.

Here’s the deal: I just couldn’t find tracks that truly fit the game. The good ones I did find either cost a fortune or came with licensing issues (and let’s be real, most sites don’t exactly roll out the red carpet for adult games). So yeah, I crossed to the "dark side." And you know what? It’s cheap, it’s customizable, and for the first time, I can shape the music to fit the exactly how I want it to be.

And I’ll be real with you. I expected the results to be trash. But holy moly, AI actually cooked. Either that, or I’ve got shit ears and I’m just hyping myself up for nothing.So that’s where you peeps come in: I’ll let you be the judge.

Right now, I’ve got 14 AI-generated tracks implemented in the game. Out of those, two actually have lyrics I wrote myself, one of them being Sing Me a Ballad. I’m crazy proud of how it turned out, so I really hope you like it.

I’ve attached four music tracks to this post, so let me know what you think. Did AI cook or not?

I was planning to do a lore drop here, but this post is already long enough, so I’ll save that for the next dev log. And of course, here are some previews.





Progress

Yeah about that sixth love interest? If everything goes smoothly, you’ll get to meet her on my birthday.

 

[MagicMan753]

Still sad about Myrren change. Probably won't ever get over it, just cause I know what we had. I am Very excited to see the 6th main girl, hopefully we don't have to wait too long. (Kind of hope for bigger "assets" in certain places, more curvy maybe, since most of the current main girls are on slimmer/smaller size)

I will say, the harem aspect sounds weird and not like full harem from dev log. If every girl has a different alignment, does that mean someone will always be left out? Or do we change the girls? Just very confused from the dev log update about that.

But nice devlog, thanks for the update, pics do look good. Can't wait for game to drop.

The two renders look incredible!

For the AI music, I think as ambient they are good, but I think you may want to reconsider if you're gonna use AI music with vocal and as the main theme. AI songs are still quite recognizable if there is no human input. Better to have a person to write the accompaniments and sing
