discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py EGBE [Prologue v0.3.3b] [Ketzal]

[sharkz]

First of all, before people start seeing little gray men, or green ones, or whatever, there’s no conspiracy, but believe what you will.
I haven’t even released anything yet, and the criticism has already started. I totally understand why he stopped…
Anyway, as I’ve already said, I’m going to release what already exists along with something new at the same time. Judge what I’ll deliver, not what I might or might not do.
As for Ketzal’s “voice”… I don’t write like him, that’s true, but we’ll see if you like it or not.

Yeah on this part you have to get used it, unfortunately users on such Forums are quick on judgements by the second, 95 is the best example on this

Please, don't let criticism affect you, because it will always be there, no matter what you do. You already deserve a lot of respect and support for trying to keep this game alive!

 

[angband]

sounds extremely odd to me !!

I'm thinking more on the conspiracy theory side of things & no, I'm not saying it was aliens !

Are people harassing you? If it’s here on LC, please report them before ignoring the users, so we can take action against them.
If it’s happening elsewhere, I can only offer you encouragement and support so that comments from idiots don’t get you down.

I mean, even if your work ends up only 1/10 as good as Ketzal’s old stuff was, that would still put you somewhere in the top 5 active loli WEG makers, probably towards the top of that list to boot.

And from what I’ve seen so far, I actually like your tweaked models more than the OGs, and it sounds like your plot sensibilities are closer to my own as well. So if anything I’m even more excited than ever to see what comes next!

All you have to do is do what you need to do. That is it. No one should expect you to be somone you are not.

First of all, I only thought the EVIL Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dominance conspiracy was involved and hoped that you might be supporting the GLORIOUS Chocolate Chip Cookie Initiative. Of course, your IMMEDIATE denial of Alien involvement does make me wonder about what's REALLY going on. Does this go so far as to include the DREADED Pancake vs Waffle war??

Seriously though I do look forward to seeing what you do with this game. The models still look great, and that buys you some time to prove you're writing and other skills. I hope to enjoy what you create and look forward to LOTS of SEXY FUN.

Just a thought.

P.S. I also hope that you will include some Chocolate Chip Cookie content for fun and to help defeat the EVIL that is Oatmeal raisin cookies.

I just asked the admins if I could start a thread dedicated to the project's progress or take over this one.
In the meantime, here are a few reworked characters.

I hope you didn't take what I said as criticism, especially when there isn't much to criticize as of now. I just listed specific details I like about K's work, and hope you mirror them to the extent that you can. Not necessarily exactly the same; your preview image you posted was well done, but the focus was pretty different than K would usually do. I compared it to similar scenes in K's original release, and despite the differences in emphasis and focus, your preview image had solid attention to technical details and conveys what you think is important.

Of course it would be difficult to emulate K's voice exactly. I think it would be difficult for most to do that. I did point out it would be noticeable to anyone looking--but as far as expectations, I just hope for a similar level of attention to detail, and following the broad strokes of the outline and level of quality. Unless you're literally ghostwriting for someone, I'd expect any writer to imbue their work with their own style. Again, hopefully you don't take expectations as critique, especially since as you said you haven't released even a demo yet.

Obviously what you've shown us so far is very high quality work, and I think most of us here appreciate you picking this up and seeing it through at the level of fidelity we've seen already.

A note has been added to the Front Page for assistance... If you have a few screenshots so we can replace the ones that were lost it would be appreciated...

A new beginning.

Between work and living in that apartment building, this is one lucky MC! Again, thanks so much for taking over a story that didn't deserve that early demise. And fuck the Fun Police Karens for what they did to Ketzal six months ago!

my thoughts were: (not about aliens)
more in line with:
"is this dude ketzal in disguise" ?

nothing can be done to prove or disprove this for now & no use in even answering to it !!

I actually made this AI of grown up Tiffany last week giving us some hope before we got the great news! I see there are some critics already trolling but I have no doubt Dark Games will honor what Ketzal envisioned, and of course he is entitle to some liberties. Maybe I should play the lottery

In a controversial game thread those who are more interested in establishing the identity of the game developer than in the next game update, have a hidden agenda in that thread and deserve to be banned.

Only the TV needs a little edit and her Eyes but overall i like the smoothness

 

[internate]

Dark Games, please dont take it the wrong way, but you have placed yourself in one of the biggest shoes imaginable. So standards and expectations are very high. Please don't take it personally when people are expressing concerns because Ketzal really was(is?) one of the best out there.

Im just happy to EGBE worked on again because it looked like it was going to be my favorite avn of all time with how it was shaping up.

Agree, I was trying to get the eyes to improve, but at least AI just gets better and better each day. I hope it helps devs get releases out faster without sacrificing quality. Here are the other outputs. She is a bit clutzy on the spin -

But in all honesty, these look amazing.
