discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ SUCH A SHARP PAIN [V0.11.7R] [KETZAL]

[justaguyhere]

Just guessing, but when you start it from main menu the story seem to imply that it happens after Marcy came back.
So I'd assume there is an way to go pic related after that?

Looking at your pic makes me wonder what happens after they leave.

I understand the criticism of the story of MC and his wife. She's the one who suffers and has to bring MC back to something saner, and... it's meant to be. Once you've seen the end of season 1 you'll understand that things are going to have to change between MC and his wife and... everyone. There's still hope for this couple and something healthier to come. But first the whole story needs to be told. Suffering, revenge, then repentance.

I'm taking advantage of the fact that you're here to thank you and congratulate you on your work. To avoid spoilers, the mascot thing seems epic to me.

I trust you, Ketzal. I trust your vision.

I hope my earlier message conveys this despite the criticism.

I eagerly await the new content, and I'll repeat what I've said elsewhere: You're an amazing artist. Your writing is superb, your eye for visuals is *chefs kiss* and I consider SSP to be a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I'm not alone in the assessment, either. My wife agrees, and your work will always be among the absolute best and our favorites.

It speaks volumes that people like us are even here talking like this about your work - so emotionally invested in these characters you've created.

I look forward to healing my/our past with Cass. She's such a beautiful character, Ketzal. Thank you for creating her, and all of the others. <3

that you have written these characters to be this relatable for people to care, is in itself an accomplishment.

cannot wait to see how this continues to develop.


sidenote: LOVE the mother daughter dynamic with Rebecca/Lisa especially. so well done. just something about girl girl bullying just. gets me. damn
and you have it all over this game. the constant power/attention struggle with Nicole, Cassie, Alice, on and on. feels genuine. excellent writing

You need to go the domination and slave route with her to visit her house. (Don't worry, you can turn it loving later.)

No, if you choose the dom route, you're locked on this path and can't simply switch to the love route later.

Yeah, that's why I've just skipped the Rebecca/Lisa path for now, so they don't show up at the party either. Supposedly 2 animations added last update but only saw one, so guessing the other one was Rebecca/Lisa.

Says you .

It is true what many say that it is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, but the most interesting and important thing is that @ketzal continues with his work without abandoning it, which unfortunately many have done perhaps not with the direct intention of doing so, but it has happened, let's hope that @ketzal after his deserved rest comes with recharged batteries and with more courage, to delight us with this “bocato di cardinale” for our eyes.

Hey Ketzal, nice to see that you are back on LC. Love it.

I haven't seen the end of this season yet (I am damn excited to see it soon), but I would like to say one thing:
A big THANK YOU for a marvelous season 1 of SSP and also thanks for still sharing public versions with all your loyal fans who cannot afford it to support you financially.

But for now, take a well deserved break, gather strength and inspiration to continue to amaze us with Season 2 (whenever you are ready) in the future.
THX Dev. Stay awesome.

Those who have done multiple different playthroughs, just how much variance is there? I've been using the koga WT to have a "Love" and "Corruption" route, but even within those routes there seems to be multiple different paths. As someone who likes to unlock everything it's a bit overwhelming

I quit being a completionist, now I don't get overwhelmed. I have like 1000 games in my Steam library. Like 10-20 have 100% achievements even after 20 years. But I think Rebecca/Lisa dom/love routes are the only noticeable ones with separate paths, and their love path doesn't have content yet. Most of the choices just affect stats, which can be changed via cheating anyway if you come across a choice that's locked due to it and don't feel like doing it the hard way by replaying and picking different choices.

I just merge everything into one path. Not really sure how many individual paths there are. Not a fan of having to choose scenes especially within a single path, like with the scenes in France or at Lisa's house for example.

Nowadays I only extract pictures, but back when I had time to play I did a mixed method : Play the game however I felt like, and then extract pictures to see what I missed. Don't fool yourselves, none of these kind of games had a massive team of 300 people behind it, so you'll never get much difference in alternative paths. So why bother wasting your time replaying a big part of the game for tiny differences like 15 pictures and 2 animations ? Yeah sure if you replay you'll also see different text, but come on, even in AAA games nobody writes well enough to deserve several hours of replaying for 1% of unseen text.

This is where a well made and unlocked replay gallery comes in. But i also extract the renders to save the special ones seperatly.
