discussion Abandoned VN KN Ren'Py DAZ PGI-257 [Episode 1] [elfieeven]

[elfieeven]

Just want to warn you against using too many LIs. It dilutes the attention and each LI receives less screen time. The game becomes overbloated and messy. Please confine the potential LIs to the reasonable number.
Ideally it is better to concentrate on the family first as we still haven't seen the real progress with them.

Or I tell the story I want to tell

But yeah.. no worries of this turning into Grandma's House. If it makes logical sense for an LI and Frank to interact during an episode then they will. Even if that means the episode is a longer one.

There will definitely be a decent number of LIs in the end, but a handful of them will be what's known in the poly world as "comet relationships" where they come and go as life requires them to. It's not realistic to expect everyone to just abandon their entire lives for Frank after all. I'm even considering making the sexual relationships with them optional as they'll tend to be older.

-- Update --

Progress continues to be steady and I'm just about done a scene which is turning out to be one of my favorites since it introduces a new little cutey named Madyson and her younger sister Sydney (who is the youngest LI character I'll make in any of my stories). I really should sit down and figure out where I am overall in terms of progress % but I've expanded the episode soooo much that I'd probably just be depressed if I did that so we'll wait a bit longer

It's funny looking back because when I started working on EP2 I was worried it would be too short of an episode, but after returning to the story from my break I realized that I'd forgotten to include a few important scenes with the girls so now it's definitely going to be a good sized release as we get to spend more personal time with our rapidly growing family. And yes, that means episodes will inevitably get longer as every girl needs some love and attention in each, but eventually they'll release DAZ 2025 and I'll finally be able to upgrade to dual 5060 Ti's and we'll be off to the races.

Spoiler: Spoiler Warning - New character face reveal - Madyson is such an adorable little cherub

Seeing your reaction to my comment, well if you want to turn your game into another mindless fuckfest like Grandma's House but with lolis, you can ignore my kindly advise. But that's up to you. I cannot say that even now your development rate is fast. And you have three games in development. If we have to wait two-three years for a scene with a particular LI, it's better just to forget about these games.
I honestly wish you success with your games and don't want them turn into another Radiant.

PS It is funny that we both thought about Grandma's House. I have read your latest comment AFTER I wrote this one

ElfieEven is a good Dev, I see him constantly in other Devs discord channels, he knows the pitfalls and will put out a good game.

-- Quick Update --

Long story short I screwed up with Amber, Katie and Lily's characters in EP1 which resulted in them looking too old for their ages.

I've fixed it for EP2 and will be fixing the EP1 renders over time (it'll take at least EP2/EP3 to get them all. Good news is it has barely any effect on EP2s schedule thanks to changes I've made in rendering settings and the fact that updating an existing pose takes a minute or two at most.

So far I love your stories. Tell em the way you want. Well worth the wait!

I normally can't fucking stand DAZ and VAM stuff. The models often have way too much detail in dimples and it makes the characters look like really creepy botox nightmares. Other times the characters look like plastic. When it comes to lolis a lot of them just look like they took an adult head and stitched it on a shrunken body. Posing often looks super lazy and unnatural. Like you know in the cartoons where they're like "Someone's coming! Quick, act natural!" And then it shows everyone just standing around in awkward poses? That's like 99% of these things.

....
This... isn't that. While I haven't played this and can't speak for it overall, the previews look like that fabled 1% that my great, great grandpappy used to tell me about back when I was a wee tot. The lighting is on point, the poses look natural, and the characters actually look like humans and not Barbie dolls. The lolis actually look like lolis, which is something that these VN makers ALWAYS get wrong. Rounder faces, and not just flatter chests, but flatter body curves overall.

Got a chance to replay this & planning a replay this week of Thirty Seconds. Clearly it’s been too long because damn this game is even better than I remember!

No rush, but curious to know if there’s any progress on the work for PGI ch2?

 

[NovaJack]

hmm so unless i seriously missed something. The futa/trans tag needs removing because there isnt any. (or not yet at least)

Shame 'episode1' ended just as things started to get going. Must admit im looking forward to 'Lily' making good on her 'role'.

Ill defiantly be coming back to this one once development is further along.

Sadly a tag like that has to go in as early as possible to avoid the inevitable backlash that follows.

Amber's Bedroom needed a photo of her and her mom.

Next up we have an updated Rebecca who also needed a slight age adjustment to match up with Amber. At first I didn't really think she had changed that much, but yeah no... you can definitely see a difference.

Ugh. The futa/trans thing is so passe.

 

[justaguyhere]

I so want to play this now with new content. Its SOOO good. But needs more.

 

[internate]

Any chance their breast development will be augmented to match their new sizes?

 

[elfieeven]

I wanted to triple check how the heights of the girls compare and I figured I might as well just share the results of that check.
