discussion VN KN Ren'Py Siren Song [v0.3.2] [Jonesy]

[SilentHunter]

It's a very pretty novel with a rare advantage - it's interesting to READ. The renderings are very good, but for me its main advantage is the plot. Perhaps the only thing to complain about is the rare updates. Although, considering that this is not the only project of the developer, it is quite understandable.

Why do games pop up as updated when they are a month old?

OK, so dumb question: is there any difference between this 0.3.2 version and the 0.3.0 that came out in December, or is it just the compression? I did grab 0.3.0, so if it's jsut the compresed version I can save myself some download time
That aside, wonderful story ya got going on here, Jonesy. I started with 0.2.0 (and you would never believe how many screenshots I ended up with from that version alone....) and I grabbed 0.3 but hadn't gotten around to decompressing it yet cause RL stuff. I'm absolutely loving Charlie (or Mylli, as I went with lol) and can't wait to hear the music you've added to the project. I'm also really glad to hear there's another writer out there who writes the same way I do -- give the characters a push and let 'em tell their own story!! Love it
Best of luck to ya mate, lookin forward to getting back into Charlie and Company's story!

I love the story so far! Many AVNs don't have a decent story, and this one does. It's fun to follow on it's own.

 

[lewdcorner1]

Real effort went into this, Great work! And the models look great too!

 

[qu3tzal]

Not sure i've seen a concept like this before. Looks interesting hopefully it doesn't end up morphing into a cookie cutter story.

Hey author, I just played through your game and it is amazing, how did I only now found out about it... Looking forward to more updates!

Why do games pop up as updated when they are a month old?

pretty sure it looks like the system here considers any posts on the thread updates, not actual game updates, i've noticed pretty much any time i've posted somewhere they suddenly shoot to the top of recently updated even when i was just on the thread and know theres no update

Siren Song Update - 7/18/26

(Eve (L) and Charlotte (R) goofing around on New Year's Eve)​

Hey Everybody!

I’m just dropping in to let all of you who are looking forward to the next chapter of Siren Song know that I am currently in the home stretch of finishing New Year’s Day(e). Once that is done, I'm going to take some time off (maybe a couple of weeks or a month or so), and then I am going to focus all of my energies on Chapter 4 of Siren Song.

This next chapter will follow Bobby and Charlotte (or whatever you named them) on the first actual date of the Festival Tour. It’s basically the Jonesy version of the Vans Warped Tour. We will meet a bunch of bands, deepen some established friendships, and see where Bobby and Charlotte take this new version of their relationship.

While I know the starting point, the end point, and a few things I’d like to do in between, most of this chapter’s story is still pretty nebulous, which is how I like it. I’ll figure out what happens when I put Bobby and Charlotte in the middle of the festival. I hope you’re as excited as I am to see what happens next!

More to come soon,

Love Y’all,

~ Jonesy

It is. New Year's Eve, in fact.

I would, but I need to get it out. It's been over a year and a half since the last installment. Plus, I don't have that kind of self-control. If it's done, it'll drive me crazy if it's just sitting there after I put 6 months of work into it.

Siren Song Progress Report - 9/13/26​

Cue sound effect: crypt door creaking open

Hello? Is there anyone in here?

(Acoustic guitar notes drift through the darkness and a light, airy whisper says, "Yes...you are..." Then a bright, bubbly female voice giggles in the shadows and says, "Welcome back to Siren Song, silly!")

That's right! We're back!

I am actively designing the different settings and environments and beginning the rough draft of the script for chapter 4 of Siren Song.

As I stated in my last update, this chapter will focus on Bobby and Charlotte's arrival to the actual festival, called the Sharkbite Twisted Tour (Sharkbite is the name of an energy drink in the Jonesyverse).
I think that since Siren Song is my only project for the foreseeable future, I might do shorter installments. After the New Year's Day(e) finale, which was comprised of almost 2000 renders, I think it might be fun to dial it back a bit, and make chapter 4 a bit more focused. Maybe 500-750 renders and only cover one day as opposed to how I've been covering multiple days.

This will mean less of a wait between updates for me and you. As for an ETA for chapter 4 - I'm hard-pressed for anything concrete. Christmas, maybe? Mid January? With the shorter chapter, I'd hope to be more on the Christmas side of that estimate.

It's still really early in the process, so this might change if Charlotte decides she wants to become a juggler or something. Who knows with that girl...

This chapter will be mostly about Bobby and Charlotte, but I'm sure we'll probably see Willow and maybe some of the other cast appear in there as well. We'll get a tour of the festival grounds, and meet some of the other bands. Charlotte will get her first taste of the festival touring life, and probably a second taste of...other things.

Chapter 5 will be about how well everyone adjusts to the festival life and how all of these new bands and characters interact with each other and with Bobby/Charlotte.

Without having written more, it's difficult to say more, so I'll leave it here.

I'm so happy to be back in the driver's seat of this story again.

Pedal to the metal, baby, past the red line on the tach!

Love Y'all,

~ Jonesy
