Ren'Py Whispers of Desire [v0.30] [Mr_Fable]

THe rationale of an "influencer"
Fine if that's the way you see yourself in the picture.

The main thing that drives game devs (who are not just in it for the milking of gullible patrons - have seen too many of those) is surely their desire to create their own unique take on genres of their choosing.
If all games were merely the results of cash-driven polls, there would be so few mundane same-same scenarios, and we might all just as well play the same ten games.

I am just out to encourage creative people to employ their own kinks, not others. To say that they don't have to follow the path of others to create something successful. What makes a great game? It's differences from the pack, not its similarities.

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

How bad is the sandbox going to be in this? I just got up to the first part of it, and already it annoys me.

It's not a planned tag at this point it's in the game so it should be in the tags at the top of the page.

 

[Mr Fable]

Joshy92 It will be pretty much the same as in the initial release. I think the experience will improve once you are familiar with the locations. But it will be there.

I will correct the tags.

Thank you for taking the time to write this long response. Most of the unnecessary scenes in the initial release was to make the player feel more connected with the characters. I wanted to make the player care about what happens to FMC and MC. As the story progress there will be fewer such unnecessary scenes and interactions between the characters. However, the story overall will still be wordy compared to other VNs as I intend to explore the dynamiccs between the characters and their emotional turmoil as well. I am also planing to keep some of the narration. I understand that it does seem redundant to state something that is already shown in the pictures and some people don't like it. I would say it's more of a personal preference

I understand personal preferences, but I have to say that "Show, don't tell" is a core principle of visual mediums for a reason - simply put, you bore the player with redundant repeating of information, and slow down the tempo too much.

As for the other part (the visuals showing details of a person's day) - keep them. Just don't narrate every single render, because it breaks the aforementioned core principle.

Good game, looks promising. How frequently you are planning to release the update every 3 months?

1.5 to 2 months for the first few updates. It may take longer as paths start to diverge. But I plan to recruit more artists and keep it at or below 3 months when the current bandwidth is not enough, given that there is enough interest.

So next update is end may?

 

[Mr Fable]

I am targeting between 15th May to end of May.

Recruiting more artists is bad for a couple of reasons in my opinion, it ends up costing you way more money plus it means you end up relying on them in which it could even slow down development...

True. There will be risks. If this ever gets to a point where I can afford more artists, hopefully I will find some reliable ones.

Merci. Je suis curieux de voir l'évolution

Really enjoyed this game, good script & aminations, my only negative would be moving to the different building (is that a sandbox?). I have gone round in circles in previous games & just given up, even when the game was good. Will still look forward to the next update as the Dev has made an excellent start.

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the game. We will make the sandbox elements very user friendly. Also the objectives menu will tell you exactly where and when to go for that objective.

Thanks for your quick response

Swinging and Netorase will be there based on player choices.
