discussion VN Ren'Py DAZ Reunion [v0.8] [Karabinek]

[Seeloow]

The amount of content is actually insane !
The story is fine, but I have to say, the sex scenes kinda just merge together at some point, and if you don't see the girl's face in a scene, it could be pretty much any of them, as they all have the same type.
I wish the girls had more personnality.

Is this still just a kinetic novel in disguise or do the choices matter now?

Yes. It's KN. Not a game or even a visual novel.

Because most AVNs are done by one person or a very small group. Mostly in their off time and without the knowledge of their family. AVNs are a lot of work, and that makes it very easy for a title to get abandoned. Perhaps they burned out in general, or no longer have time to work on the game. Maybe their family discovered the game and don't approve, or maybe the stress of making the game and making little to no money just pushes them to give up. In that light. it is surprising how many games actually get finished.

Is there just v0.70 file? I mean, the update itself is bigger than the main file?!

Yes, you need BOTH if you want to play 0.70, then replace the duplicate file in your game folder from 0.65 with the one from the 0.70 download. The update (0.70) is most of the content from the game (it's not a patch), so it isn't surprising that a newer version of the game is larger than the one before it.

Even with PNG instead of WEBP, I'm still struggling to fathom how the HQ version is almost 50gb.
Does this have tens of thousands of images, or multiple-gigabyte videos?

Even a compressed size of 9gb is pretty substantial. I'm worried it might be filled with obscene amounts of bloat somehow.

Use RPATool if you're concerned. The uncompressed size is almost exclusively from the PNG format images. There are well over 18,000 images and they are all pretty much between 1.5-5 MB a piece. It's about 49 GB just from uncompressed images.

 

[Republican Bear]

There is a compressed version that's around 2GB on F-95.

We can't share outside links though so I cant share it.

 

[User_80256]

An absolute record for RenPy, 48.8 Gb. And it's not UHD (I could still understand that), it's regular HD. Either the developer has gone crazy, or this is an exquisite trolling of his subscribers.
But why did he stop at .PNG? With .BMP it would be even cooler - 75-90 GB guaranteed.
That said, given that I hate this KN, I feel nothing but genuine schadenfreude. Eat shit, gentlemen, if you like it!

[ScarWillRiseAgain]

definitely enjoy the models here

 

[huanxiang]

I used to love the plot of this game, but I feel like the level is getting lower and lower

 

[Hydrox]

So anyone know what pregnancy points do?

 

[Kwart]

The story is quite interesting and renders are nice. Sex scenes tends to repeat each other and gets boring pretty fast.

I have just started playing this, hence no review. This is the ONLY game that has a GAME OVER choice... that actually made sense and didn't make me mad.

After the intro, a bunch of characters interact with the MC, some of them quite hatefully and over the top. An early choice (paraphrased) is:

Fuck this shit. I'm going home.
Then, you go home. Game over.

I can't for sure explain why I like it, other than to say... you know what?... if the starter characters piss me off that much... I get to basically give them the finger and leave... because they're too disgusting to stick with.

Not a "haha player was stupid" choice... but an actual "Ok this game is not for you." choice. Maybe I'm being crazy but that was cool.

I'll power through a chapter or 3, but if I get the same feeling, I'll restart the game, pick the "I'm out." option and consider the game complete...

 

[User_111574]

The story started out interesting, but at some point the developer lost his sense of balance between plot development and the abundance of sex. 30+ LIs is beyond good and evil, in addition to being inherently idiotic.
Anyway, in the process of going through the last update I realized that I was wasting my time in vain, I deleted the game.

SeveredRealms just introduced/invited me to this site so I'm just gonna more or less copy pasta my post from F95 from a week ago and see how it's received/gets more traction here. Literally only been on this site a few minutes so not certain how I should go about sharing it yet. On F95 I made a dedicated mod post where I could go into more detail and receive feedback. Let me know if I should do something similar here. Other things to note about my mod/patch, I changed the fonts to something more readable (not sure if it was just me and there was a scaling issue or something with the original fonts), Americanized the dialog as well as some proofreading.

F95 anouncement post in Reunion's forum thread:

I love incest content so I tried playing with simple_human's i-patch (I incorporated some of the work they already did) but the code's simplistic nature kinda messed it up to the point that I thought that Karabinek was bad at English (partly why I wanted to make my own patch) so I essentially went through the script line by line. I added a little flair to it and made the MC a little more like-able/smooth.

My i-patch turns Lisa, Jennifer, and Nicole into half-siblings and Linda is their Mom but absentee with his missing mother being a step mom being that he refers to as his real "Mom" even to the point that she adopted him without Linda contesting it. I tried putting a little more narrative/"novel" in the AVN (adult video novel).

I think/hope that the way I altered the script only serves to reinforce Karabinek's narrative. I didn't want to detract from their work or to make their story my own. I hope that people give it a chance, enjoy it, and see that was my intent.

Edit/Update: The pressure to update (read other posts) is too much so you may consider this as abandoned. I might try again in the future but am unable to commit.
