VN Ren'Py Zero End [v0.2.4d] [Stolen Rose]

[Zolse]

Very enjoyable overall. URM mandatory for me though.

I got to say I loathe the patron god system. You're saying with one god I can compel that sexbeast Swansong but with Thor I can not freeze so badly when skinny dipping? It's a complete ass system that punishes arbitrarily since the player has no way to make an informed choice. Not to mention the absurdness of calling upon divine power just because a lake is cold.
Maybe I'm not reading Caleb correctly, but I also have no idea why he would have a patron deity.
At least if it was more of a divinity taking interest and not a seeming active choice on Caleb's part I think it would make more narrative sense.

I don't see how having no patron isn't the canon choice, I had to go back and choose that for myself; no matter how much that vamp slut should gargle Caleb's dick.

i do agree the Deity System is weird and severely under utilize. So far some of them are useful and some is more towards flavor text which beats the purpose of having it

Hello!
I'm back. Not having a day job really makes days blur into each other. So, anyway, I said I'd be fully on static renders and I have done just that. With about 20 more renders left to go tonight, we're at 2250, meaning this release just surpassed Day 4 in render count. I think I'm at the endless tunnel phase of the release when it seems like I do a lot of stuff and the more I do, the more there is to do. There's two major scenes I still want to finish, both of them heavy on animations, which I suspect will take me another week of work, but after that I wanna get back to writing. I'm not sure how much it will take to finish, but this will be the chapter finale plus two endings (one of which is partly written, but needs to be finished). Honestly, it's just been grinding away these last two weeks. I hope I'll have something more exciting next time, but "a lot of work got done" would be great too.
Hope you're having a wonderful day!

I keep ending up with shots that look good, but don't make narrative sense, so I'll share as it happens.

Hi!
One day late because I wanted to be able to say this: I finished writing the story. Now, I still need to add some stuff, get some people to read it and then edit accordingly, but the first draft is finished. It's sitting at around 43k words and includes two new endings. I've also worked on some animations and renders, but this was the big news. Now that I have the full text, I can estimate the number of renders I'll need, based on the number of lines in the script. A very rough estimation. It's between 1100 and 1300 renders. Considering we're currently near 2400, that'd mean we'd close in on 4k renders for this release. I hope I can shave off some of those, but I don't think it'll be too many of them. Apart from that, I still have 3 animations left to do. It's looking like end of May might be possible for a release date, but this is speculation, not an announcement. I'll go as fast as I possibly can, but there are some scenes that NEED extra attention, and I won't rush those.
Well, sorry for the unfocused rant, I just got done writing before this and I'm still a bit loopy.
Hope you're having an amazing day!

I think I have a few more of these until we get into deep spoiler territory. For now, I really liked this shot

I'm very happy that the script is finished, although I'm still wondering if Stolen Rose refers to days 5 and 6 (end of Chapter 2) or the script of the whole game .

Anyway, 0 END is still in my top 10 and I even bought it on Steam at launch .

I'm not Brandon Sanderson. The first draft of the script for the next release, Day 5, is done. The entire script is very likely the length of another full-length novel. Shit takes time. Unless you're Brandon Sanderson. But I'm not.

as you know brother I can't read without software to help me so I have no idea who Brandon Sanderson is
I'm assuming it's a book reference

just take your time and I hope you're doing well

He is indeed an Author Vidal my friend, fantasy/science fiction....author of the Cosmose(?) universe of books. He pretty prolific.

And here I imagined you sitting at your desk with a cup of tea, writing faster for hours on end .
