VN Ren'Py Abandoned Vinland [v0.1.8a Public] [HuitiemeGame]

These characters are too pretty, I'll feel guilty playing a porn game with them. Here's hoping for a wholesome route where you marry and raise children in a cottage.

Well,
1) I guess it depends which path you want to take because I can't see Freydis being ready to settle down anytime soon and Gudrid is already married.
2) Given that you are about to go to North America and get slaughtered by the Indians, I think it is not so likely anyway...

That made me laugh This is really the first time I see this kind of comment, and I don't know if I should be happy you already feel so strongly for my characters of if they're just not sexy enough

Regarding the "porn game" part, I like to think of myself as a storyteller more so than a porn director, so I hope to make you (all of youse) feel like the sex part will come naturally. My strongest inspirations have been the DeLuca Family and Heavy Five for their approach on story and smut, maybe you could check both these games as well, I can't recommend them enough

Spoiler: Pretties can be sexy too

I obviously won't comment too much on this (spoiler), but there should be different routes. Some indeed could be gruesome, some would be wholesome, some would be historically accurate (kinda), some would not. My main objective is for you to have fun with the story

Hey!!

NTR! SOMEONE STRONGER THAN THE MC IS STEALING THE GIRL! NTR! NTR!

Very nice, though you might want to tone down the normal map on Frey's skin. Unless those are moles not freckles. lol

Of course they're sexy, it's just that they caught my attention to such an extent that it feels like straight away porn would cheapen them, you know? But given your influences I expect to be quite happy with how the game evolves. All I ask is that PLEASE if you decide to implement NTR or something similar you make it optional.
I haven't played it yet due to lack of time, but I'll do it this weekend and post again if I think there's anything I can comment on. Overall, the visuals are obviously great, it's up to the story now.

You have a point TheDevian, as I have freckles, Freydis' ones seem to me suspicious... the bump mapping perhaps.

I'll look into it. It's true that right now, her skin sometimes looks like she's got cancer

Don't worry about NTR or stupid moves like that, this isn't my intention to lead the story toward typical bad porn game tropes. Also, don't worry either about finding time to play the prologue, it's really short at the moment. I'm currently working on the first chapter that should consequently increase playing time (and there are a lot of paths to be tried).

I would try reducing the % on the normal maps for her, or even removing them, though that might be going too far. The other option is to edit the normal to make them look flat, but still have the pores.

That is kind of what I was saying about the skin from the beginning. Don't get me wrong, love her character and model, just all the freckles look like they are raised skin bumps rather than a part of her skin.

Still happy you are plugging along.

Maybe if you are having trouble hit up any of the other freckle devs, or help area for it?

 

[Wolfregis]

If a game has redheads with freckles that have a romance path, it isn't just an option it's a bloody requirement to storm that ginger's castle.

Are you saying her figure is not chiseled from stone?

Any tropes would be bashed mercilessly.

My dreams of a release in November are flying away like little birdies ready to poop on my car. If we remove October from the equation (busy month IRL), I've been working on chapter 1 for three and a half months already, and it's still nowhere near finished.
Gudrid's first part is done, I'm actually half way through Freydis' path with 153 renders to the count, but now I'm starting to work on what is my favorite part of the chapter, but also the most difficult for me \o/
Once this part is done, I think I'll release the chapter as is, and the next release (mid-2025 maybe) would serve to fill the gaps and introduce the second part of the first chapter. I fear I bit more than I could chew with the diverging paths for this chapter, fortunately, the following release should be way lighter regarding this specific issue.
A few numbers, because I can:
Currently, the whole chapter numbers 572 renders and there are at least 4 distinctive paths to follow (I planned twice as much as that at first, but see above). Before the release is over, there will be around 10 Freyfrey bonus render. On the plus side, I'm becoming way better with using Daz, as you may have seen from the different bonus I showed on Patreon
For higher tiers (5$ and more) patrons, let's catch up in the next post where I'll show a strange spoiler for an incoming chapter

 

[Huitieme]

If you're curious, here's the 5$ tiers post (since there's still no charge at the moment, and sharing is caring)

Wild Greek setting used "Lesbian attack".
It's super effective!
Or is it? Don't worry, lesbianophobes (if you exist, in which case I'm sad for you), this is totally avoidable, although I intend to have a lot of fun with this
Also, yes, it totes makes sense within the game

Little known fact: The ancient greeks gave us historians, philosophers, the practice of medicine, democracy, origins of modern mathematics and countless inventions. However they also gave us the original Valley girls.

Scholarriors across the globe still debate to this day whether or not it was worth the price.

 

[jamdan]

Oh god, is Avaron1974 popping up in another game?

Gonna need a new acronym. AVN: Avaron Visual Novel.

As from the ancient Scholarrior code, article IIIc, "ne'er shall you forego the price of the valley hoe". It's still a bit cryptic for nowadays specialists, but I think it has to do with gardening or something...

Sacrifices have been made, choices have been given, but never have scholarriors denied the worth of short redhead lesbians.

Don't mention that!!! She's very sensitive about that sort of thing!

Love you really Ava, please don't hurt me
