discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Early Love [v0.8.2] [KindyGuY]

[Shia_LaBoofed]

I hop

SSP should have plenty of smol content in the next update

I freakin hope so man, because was already dyin for them to do something like that ever since I saw the youngest daughter's character model in the very 1st update of the game, but after seein what the best friend looks like, it's safe to say that the anticipation might actually be killin me, lol. (If you've played the game you know exactly what I'm talking about) So, long story short, If the next update comes out and there still isn't any scenes with either of them I'll be so unbelievably disappointed I might just un-alive myself! (P.S. Obviously, that last part was just a joke, but seriously, HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE GIRLS?! It might not be a joke!)

Hello! Here is the fixed version of Early love!
There is no new content.
Changelog:
v0.6a:
- English's been proofread thanks to @Hellster ;

- fixed some code lines leading to errors
- fixed the displayed version of the game in the main menu, and also it's been added a link to my page on boosty.to;

Definitely much easier to read through and the lighting fixes were spot on IMO (especially those sleepover Maggie scenes).

Yep, I know exactly what you mean, I'm actually a bug tester/proofreader for that game as well, you're not the only one waiting impatiently, lol

 

[KindyGuY]

Well guys, a little good news, I've just finished writing the plot for the next update (v0.7), which will include 3 new days (one of them is really long)
I can't say when everything is going to be ready, I don't think I can finish it in 2 or 3 or even 4 weeks, but I'll try to do it as fast as I can, because I have work
to do in my life, so be patient, you will really love v0.7, I think it's going to be the best one, so, the long waiting is worth for it! ?

night scenes are kind of way too dark

This 100%. I've noticed overly low-lit scenes with a number of devs lately. Initially, I thought it was just me getting old and needing new glasses but I don't think so. It's awesome that designers can do natural light so well now... but when we can't see the sex scenes, it kindof ruins the point.

Hey all, just worked this out for myself. If you want to replace the default MC "John" in the English version with your preferred name, do this:

Navigate to "EarlyLove-0.6a-pc\game\tl\english" and edit the "define.rpy" file, near the top and change "John" to whomever you want.

Then in the same folder, edit the "script.rpy" file (works best in Notepad++ other wise you may get errors); replace "John" (all instances) with your preferrd name.

Then replace the extended EXCITED words "Jooohn" (I just searched for "Joo") with your preferred name. Then save the file.

Worked a treat for me. Hope this helps. Notepad and Wordpad were a major pain, mainly for the second part for the replace all.

Great game BTW Dev. Thanks.

Cheers

protip: never use WordPad for any editing of script files, ini-files (or any file that will be read and used by a program).
The reason is that script files must be pure text, with only

in them, i.e. letters, numbers, etc - they can never ever have any text formatting such as bold, italic, underscore, headlines etc. Wordpad, and any other wordprocessor-like program such as ms office word etc., can add such things, which would screw up the script file major.
Notepad is the way to go. Or a third-party text editor such as Notepad++ or TedNotePad, both of those are Notepad on steroids with extra bells and whistles, and caramel topping.


Also, for Ren'Py games there are some nice universal mods that let's you change stuff in the games while playing them, if you are careful. For instance, Universal Ren'Py Mod by 0x52 over at F95z. That one let's you change things in the dialogue, replacing all instances of a name just as you did, but from within the game itself. You can also use that function for changing ages....

Progress report 11/10/2022.​

Hello! For a while there was no news from me, but I want to assure everyone that the development of the new version is ongoing, I haven't abandoned the project! I had some business to do and also work in real life, so, unfortunately, the new update won't come out this month, but it's not only because of my business, there are another reasons, precisely related to the update.
Version 0.7 certainly is going to be a big one, but most of my time took these things:

• Creation of new locations;
• Writing the plot/code of the 10th game day (which one you'll really like!!!);
• A big changes/improvements of the body and intimate areas of all female characters (maybe you were fine with it, but believe me, it's got better, though you might not notice significant changes)(more details will be in changelog when release);
• REMOVED THE GALLERY FROM THE GAME! (Read about it below);
• The old gallery from v0.5 is available in FullHD (zip archive) on my all pages, except boosty!(for free!);
• +10 new pics will be added in FullHD for the gallery when release (paid).

Now, the info about the gallery! Don't worry, the gallery will be able, but not in the game. My game has 1280x720 screen resolution, for the gallery it would be better to show pictures in FullHD, that's why I've decided to make the gallery separate from the game, by rar archives, that I'll be loading on my pages. The old gallery, which was in the game, will be available for free in FullHD on my all pages, but new pics for the gallery, that will be made in the future, will be paid, sorry, but the game is for free after all

And also, starting today, I’m opening two paid subscriptions

, one just for support and the other with some benefits.

So that's it, thanks for you attention and support!

SSP should have plenty of smol content in the next update

I can't believe I didn't figure this out before, but speaking of S.S.P (Such a sharp pain) there actually was Loli/Smol content with the younger girls this whole time pretty much, but I just didn't know about it because If you do what I always do and just load/play each new update from where you left off on the previous updates then you'll constantly get error screens where it says ignore or rollback and every loli/smol scene and choices will end up being completely skipped unbeknownst to the person playing. I just started the newest update for S.S.P over from the beginning because off all the error screens I was getting and because after the last error I got it kept taking me back to the main menu and wouldn't let me finish playing the rest of the update so I hoped restarting a fresh new game from the very beginning and erasing all linux/mac/android files (just in case because I kept seeing linux/android/mac files being mentioned a lot in multiple error messages and I'm using Pc version.) might fix the problem and let me make it to the end of the update and long story short I'm SOOOOO glad I did, because not only did it fix every single problem and prevent all previous error pages from occurring, but there were TONS of dialogue choices and for the loli/smol characters and numerous different sex scenes and path options for them that I had no idea about and never would have if I didn't happen to restart and find that out. (Good Lord, I need to figure out how to write shorter comments, lol. So to anybody who decides to read this, sorry about that and enjoy the book!)

Errors might appear if developer changed some code lines of previous versions, like me, for example, I play from the beginning or look at code that I don't like and I change it, so that's why you sometimes have to start a new game. I don't like playing porn games from the beginning if I've already played them, but now, that I'm developing the game myself, I get it

Hello! A few people asked me to make in-game walkthrough, and now I've decided just to add hints on some important choices into the game, so I'd like to know your opinion, what do you think, should I add hints into the game forcibly or let everyone decide whether he wants to see them or not?

I for one would enjoy a little guidance along the way. It's still up to the player either way what they want to to do. I'm for the hints/WT option though for sure

 

[JAW1986baby]

Walk Through ON/OFF choice is the best plan IMO

Generally it's better to have an on/off switch/option, but i'm fine with it either way

I agree with FrayedEndsofSanity I like guidance. Not sure how hard it is to add a switch, but if not hard add it.
So I guess either way works for me.

No, I'm not. Sorry if I'm rude, I just don't like that idea

 

[Myuhinny]

Just extract the files and use notepad to change the MC's name to what you want it to be. I do this all the time for characters that you can't name.
