discussion VN Ren'Py DAZ My Early Life [Ep.32.01] [CeLaVie Group]

[Tigerdiamonds]

As someone who is just playing through the game for the first time; boy howdy do devs like this immediately lose all respect from me.
"If all you want to do is scroll through pictures and jerk off this isn't for you"
My game is for big boys who like challenges and REAL games!

Why is it that every time a game has something like this in the description the so called "gameplay" that they are so proud of is always a poorly coded mess?
After trying to play normally for most the first chapter, other than needing to qsave before every single action incase it was a repeat.
I ended up spending the last 3 weeks(in-game) being forced to use the time/location hint system and just skipping time to try to get things to trigger.
Had multiple instances of events triggering when the character was not supposed to be in that room
A bunch just not triggering at all for whatever reason until they randomly worked (The yoga one in particular, had max yoga for forever and still just got told to fuck off forever until randomly it worked)
and ultimately had to use the skip chapter button when the last two refused to trigger.

The grind isn't even that bad, it's the zero sense that anything is actually happening/progressing.
Will get a scene where a girl is warming up to me, being nicer, even calling me bro, then the next timeslot it's back to "fuck you get out"

This is so right. As someone who has followed this developer for the last 3 games. It has gotten worse and worse. That message about scrolling pictures was the devs response to those exact complaints.
This update is also the 3rd(or 4th?) time they have just up and started from the beginning again.
This dev is more and more disappointing every release. Yes, the renders are pretty good, but they haven't been keeping up with the curve, so how long will this level of quality count as good?
If this is your first, make it your last, it'll save you a lot of disappointment.

I've been sitting on 73 of the 105 events for hours now.
Usually I've finished all the games of CeLaVie Group after some puzzling, but this is making me despondent.
I don't know how to continue, comfort is 110 and the dresses keep changing.

That's one reason why I now mostly ignore sandboxes, too many headaches and not enough fap material for the time and effort put into it. Sandboxes = great for cats to shit in, not much use for it anywhere else.

Looks decent time to give it a try..

 

[Mike1233]

It definitely takes some time to play through and has a few bugs, but overall I like this game

Playing sandboxes seems like an AVN noob thing at this point. People with experience know the sandbox tag is a giant red flag.

Simply put, if I wanted to play a game I would play a real fucking game, not something on renpy.

Renpy doesn't equal sandbox though. Most of the best story driven AVNs are Renpy based.

This version (Episodes 19-23) is the best of the three. Still a grind but the included walk through is helpful. It's very well drawn. Problem is that it takes a while to accomplish anything.

For example, there is an opportunity to have an interaction at the swimming pool. One has to choose "talk to her" or "jump in the pool" something like a dozen times in order to see all the scenes. After the scene completes, you need to fast forward in time to the next day and do it all over to see the next scene. If you don't mind this kind of repetition, then this game is for you.

 

[RaboRabioso]

Gonna give it a try.

The overview mentions this is Bob's fifth adventure, but in these forums I can only find another game developed by CeLaVie.
Can anyone tell me what are the other four? Thanks in advance.

 

[traumat]

i'll give it a try. Renders look good, i hope all the grind is worth it

Not in order, the others are:

• Room for Rent (completed)
• My First Love (completed)
• My Best Friend's Daughter (Season 1 and Season 2, so might count as 2 games)

As for the last one up there, season 1 was finished, season 2 was marked as abandoned on the 95 site, with the last update 2 years ago. Also, the two seasons are pretty standalone (no save transfer).
