discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Family Faring [Episode 6 HF 2] [Royal Games] Archived Version

[pablo.1297]

No one has leaked it. And honestly I hope no one does, 2 weeks is not all that long to wait between day 1 of top supporters and public vs screwing the dev and discouraging further development. Want it quicker and have no patience = subscribe on his SS.

Maybe it is not filtered here, I played it more than 3 weeks ago and I didn't pay anything, just a Google search was enough.

This is a really good game with a great story line. Like it.

If that becomes viewable by public then it will be a public release

Public can't see posts on SS (public ones) unless they are subbed, most smol games are like that now.

So wonderful Lewdcorner is so respectful to creators, really A pity other pirate sites aren't, ye?

I played Episode 4 last month because I caved and bought a link on itch.io. I'm willing to share it here but last time someone did the link got deleted.

I didn't even know full games were released anymore. Developers are realizing it's more lucrative to sell it in 10-20 pieces for $10 each rather than all at once for $60. Even $50-60 AAA titles tend to have a really small base game and a dozen DLC's for $20 each. So these days for a finished game that takes more than a few hours to complete you'll be waiting 5 years after "official" release day if you want everything at once. Then again, even GTA 5 is still getting DLC's every so often even after 9 years (to the point there's no financial reason in making GTA 6 though they are doing so anyway). As far AS AVN's that take 30 hours to read and are released all at once, dream on. Most come in episodes of up to a few hours each. The completed non-episode ones like from Dumb Koala tend to be very short (under 1-2 hours).

it's just that it's not like a game you can buy in the store.
grand theft auto is very far from this game.
why are you comparing the mini game to a full game that has nothing to do with it?
I think I'll wait, there is still little content in the game.
then if there is more content in it, I will buy it.

One can also argue AVN's are not games at all, true enough. Only AVN's I've seen released as complete in1 go tend to last under an hour with silly plots and pretty low quality in comparison to episodeic ones since they were converted from comic strips to Renpy. The good ones that take 30-100 hours to read take multiple years to make and will probably never be released all at once. So the choice is wait 5 years until it's finished or get it in parts every month or 2 (or more, depending on the dev's level of effort).

I would like to see a game that doesn't include too much unnecessary talk and doesn't limit what can and can't be done.it is basically up to the player and the game would change as the player decides.
it's just a shame that there is no such game.

To be honest, as great such a Game would be, I think it's nearly impossible to pull it off. At least if we talk about an Story centered Game. The sheer amount of Writing and Rendering needed for dozens of outcomes for every scene would be insane. There are a handfull of Games that try something in this direction with multiple Paths but nothing as diverse as you wish for, One that comes to mind would be

it has quite a lot of different paths that even interact with each other and can branch or merge with each other, only downside is that the actual Update cycle is rather long because of how much work such a complex Project is.

Yeah I once requested on a dev's SS to make 2-3 versions of every nude scene of girls (for those that like bald pussies vs trimmed or hairy) changable via dialog choice or a toggle switch in options. Short answer: no. Until AVN's start getting rendered and written on-the-fly by AI (probably decades away before gfx cards are powerful enough to do that, would probably eat 2-3kW by itself, and even 1 customized render per 10 seconds would be annoyingly slow for most) and guided by a personality profile the player builds by answering 50-100 psych questions and LI preferences when first starting it probably isn't going to happen, not anytime soon anyway (fingered crossed for pre-2040). But that would be awesome as every playthrough would be unique and tailored to that particular player's preferences.

I wouldn't bet to hard on AI here. Yes they can write "good" Vanilla Storys, and they are great at generating Faces. But an AI is limited through how and what it is Teached. So the more "niche or Taboo" the content becomes the harder it is for an AI to deliver good results. I'm quite sure a Game with total Freedom that's still believable in It's content will stay a Dream for a long Time, if not forever. Maybe in the future we get more variation in details such as Trimmed, Shaved etc. as you said, when the time it takes to render an decent images gets shorter. But besides the Technical standpoint we should not forget that it needs also an really capable Writer to construct and keep track of such complex Naratives we're talking about here.

Eh an AI already won first prize vs humans at an art fair in Idaho (or Iowa? I forget) for a digital painting so it's just a matter of when and if it will be possible without neeeding an entire 48U rack of GPU's. Feed it enough examples of AVN's written by humans (I think there's like 30-35k of them so far, but maybe 20k are above average quality) and it will learn to know what humans like even before they do. Who knows, maybe in a few decades general AI will take off and it will teach itself just from having internet access once hardware can run enough nodes, connections, and weights to rival a human brain in complexity (intelligence, sentience and self-awareness are emergent properties after all once complex enough) and it starts to learn like a human does, only a million times faster.

What does exist, however, are nude and sex mods and skins to non-adult open world games that already exist, for instance Skyrim, Fallout and The Sims. That might be closer to what you are looking for?

is there any timeframe on when Episode 4 will be posted?
