discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ SUCH A SHARP PAIN [V0.11.7R] [KETZAL]

FALSE

Ok, so that's the problem. Your save is not harem or Macy's return (weird). In 0.7.3.3R is Macy's return. If you want to proceed, you need to put true to hf (you can do that after the tittle screen), if you want Harem (all LIS), or moBack if you want to see the 0.7.3.3 content (Macy's scenes).

Thank you will give it a try

Thanks for all the help but would you be able to show me exactly what I am to do?

In your second screen (When the text in french appears), open the console and type "hf=True" For Harem (nothing new in 0.7.3.3R) or moBack=True (for the 0.7.3.3R new content).

Got it thanks again

 

[Moss]

Every update I have to start the game again because the saves don't work
I got tired of this game and uninstalled

Really? You shouldn’t have to.

 

[Gerdi B]

Don't play it. That's all I can say. There are so many better games out there. Sorry to give you a free game that's too complicated.

Please @ketzal stop lying about your own game

There are a lot of other good games but only a handful reach the same level in both story and graphics, wide variety of different and interesting girls, kinks, consistent updates and a developer that interacts with the community.

 

[Moss]

Dude, give up, the game IS complicated, the players are telling that to you. Too many paths, no clear indications about how to take one or another, some random secret spots, even the name of different paths are confusing. Not a bad game at all, but certanly too confusing into gameplay. Hear the players, not all of them wants just to "see pictures" but to have a clear playthrough.

Don't play it. That's all I can say. There are so many better games out there. Sorry to give you a free game that's too complicated.

Geez. Make your game however you want to, but there’s no need to be rude or sarcastic to a player simply giving you feedback.

 

[Moss]

ok i've gone through like 12 playthroughs trying to get everything and i give up, could someone just post a full save plz?

Or better yet a walkthrough for all the paths.

 

[Crowangel]

loved the update.. Its fair to say the flashback car scene music had me paused for a full two rounds of the song lol

Maybe someone could do a walkthrough, yeah. There will never be any such thing as a "full save", though:

There are 4 different routes, and therefore 4 paths with unique scenes. It's impossible to see everything in one game. So yeah, it's hard to get it all, and that's intentional.

You would need different playthroughs to see all of the content.

Yes. Four different walkthroughs.

 

[-CookieMonster666-]

Yes. Four different walkthroughs.

Are you meaning four different playthroughs? It would be a single walkthrough, but ofc covering the four different routes. That's generally how walkthroughs are done: a single document or mod, guiding you from choice to choice throughout the game. It's then on the player to restart each time for different routes when a game won't let you see everything in a single go.

Yes, exactly.

I typed "moBack=True" but didnt see any new content at all for Macy. Ugh

 

[GivLoli]

Something drives me crazy every time I read comments like this. The game is complicated if you want to see everything. If you just play the game the way you like it and enjoy what's on offer, there's nothing complicated about it. There are 4 different routes, and therefore 4 paths with unique scenes. It's impossible to see everything in one game. So yeah, it's hard to get it all, and that's intentional. Maybe it's not the game for you if you just want to see pictures.
If you want to see it all, you have to read, search and understand. You can't have a game in which every answer has repercussions and at the same time see everything without your answers limiting your actions. But in any case, thanks for playing my game.

Want to give my 2 cents to this

Yes, the game is fairly complicated and I generally dont mind because I much prefer that over a game that is mostly linear and maybe gives you the choice if you want to date a certain girl or opt into a certain fetish and thats it. As you said, you cant have your choices matter and all content being easily available to everyone, regardless of choices made, at the same time.

However, there are a few ideas to maybe make it a little easier on players.
1) would be to periodically give players a summary of the choices they made. Lots of games already do this, for example Radiant at the end of each chapter tells you how many stat values you currently have, how the game interprets your choices (are you good, evil, horny?) and what crucial choices you made this chapter (did you visit character x or not?). Something like this might help.
2) Having an official walkthrough that explains all the different routes and variables in a flowchart that releases at the same time as the update does. You could maybe find a volunteer to write it for you and you let them playtest the alpha version to write it.
3) putting most or all of the content into the full harem route. I believe the full harem route is what most players prefer anyways (but I dont know, maybe I am projecting from myself here). You could of course argue that this reduces the impact of choices, but I believe you can achieve a great deal of route divergence while still having a full harem on all of them. For example how you respond to Eve the first time you meet her could set her on a romance/domination/corruption path, so your choices would matter without having to reject her. Currently a lot of the content in SSP requires you to reject girls or even letting them die in one case.

But again, those are just ideas. I think the game design as is, is already better than many other games that are 90% linear.

 

[Mookey]

I can't find my problem in the comments since the latest patch, other than someone else seemingly having the same problem. I last saved at the screen that says: "Thank you for playing SSP 0.7.2R..." When I load that save with 7.3.3R, it says immediately: "Thank you for playing SSP 0.7.3.3R." Something similar happened with my last save, but I just rolled back a few scenes, then clicked forward and it worked. But not this time.

I read a page or two back that Ketzal said this update has no new content for the Harem path, which I think I'm on. Could that be why? I was doubting that was the issue since it had happened before, but I can't seem to get around it this time. The reason I think I'm on the Harem path is that I have the walkthrough enabled and I went that route to keep Cassey and Haley in the picture (instead of the Family path), and I think I might have selected the "wrong" option that would have allowed me to keep Macy alive, but I'm not sure.

By the way, this is actually my #1 favorite VN game. The graphics, story, characters, personalities... it's got it all and I'm hooked.

I can't say whether or not "most" is true, but I can say that I myself am not in that camp. If a game is designed to be a full harem game, that's fine. But if it's designed to have choices diverge and limit LIs for different branches — whether single-LI routes only or not — I'd prefer to have it play that way.

Being neutral on the harem fetish is only a tiny part of my opinion on this. Trying to force a square dick into a round vag because it's the preference of certain players generally lowers the quality of a game overall. To me, that type of thing makes a game become less believable, less impactful, etc. I'd much rather have the game be done as designed, so if that's not the idea with this one I'd much rather ketzal do things as planned.

The 7.3.3R has less files/data in it then the 7.2R that i have on my hard drive. Was any content cut?

 

[BadJM]

Just finished the update and honestly, considering how fucked up everyone around the mc is, It is kind of amazing that he wasn't the one that tried to kill himself?.
