discussion Abandoned VN AI Ren'Py DAZ Shattered [v0.5] [DixieLover]

[Montimer]

Everyone is getting on that bandwagon it seems. Daniels K started doing it like 2 years and 2 AVNs ago, even though back then they still sounded like Bonzi Buddy from 2000-2001ish (still better than Stephen Hawking's chair from 1985 I guess). Maybe it will outdo human voice actors in another 10-20 years or so of training.

Look, nothing wrong with getting on the bandwagon. It's a tool. It can certainly make the game sexier.
Yet for it to be acceptable, some conditions have to be met.

1. AI voicing isn't actually a priority and gets added around end of the game cycle. It quite literally doesn't matter. Story and visuals first. Everything else later. You can do without AI voices but can't do with the game being delayed by week or two because dev has to write the code for every voiceline + audio file.

2. Voices have to at very least try to sound human. It has to be passable and resemble human speech. This game fails at that terribly. Worst one is PC who sounds mentally challenged.

If I may make a suggestion. Please, get rid of the A.i voices. They are not doing the game any favors.

You can turn it off in the settings...

bugs:

voice isn't played into the voice channel, so you can't mute it properly
renpy.play("intro_lily/hug_question.mp3") --> renpy.play("intro_lily/hug_question.mp3", channel="voice")

ch01_girls_room: lily talks about sort of giving dad a hj even if that scene didn't happen (shower_leave path)

1-4 minutes of gameplay depends on your reading skill

Thank you. Much obliged.

 

[Yodasy]

[SmogJonkler]

Updated my android port to v0.4

Thanks for all your amazing ports, I only recently discovered your stuff but you're already in my top 2 porters alongside Estrada777.

Thank you! That's a huge compliment, Estrada's ports are amazing

Not bad but not much content to play yet either.

One area that's a negative is the auto-voicing of every line.

Many will probably turn off the voice slider.

That will not bother the most after the most play without sound anyway.

Feels like the story and dialogue was written by AI as well. Not a huge issue if the step down in story quality is compensated with more consistent updates but I guess that's a big "we'll see" just like every other new project.

 

[Airyfic]

too short to say much about the story at this point but it does have promise, renders are decent tho I do hope the dev refines lily's model

 

[coinstarrunner]

True.
One of the most baffling things to me is addition of AI voices. I can't for love of everything understand decision behind that. More so one that's just... bad.

Yeah, nothing gets my dick harder than a Dalek telling me to fuck it.

Very nice game, great models.

The models are OK, but there is something wrong with their teeth. They are all small and of similar shape, not like teeth of a mammal but rather like reptile teeth

A lot of older gen Daz models are like that. Dev can't do much about that, other use Gen 9, which is a vram hog.

He has a thread at the fallen. As I understand it, the AVN is made in Blender.
The models may have been exported from DAZ to Blender and adjusted.
Maybe teeth look like that in Blender?

 

[justaguyhere]

Makes me wish more was out already.

 

[Leveler]

definitively one of the best games i played so far. storyline intriguing and love the style of the grafics.

 

[blinkssss]

Not bad I could do without the robovoice though.

 

[User_124703]

What did I miss in this update?
Got previous scenes made up? Or is it just 1 minute story added?
