I had to look at Google what this is (headpat). I will do this. She's so stupid that I feel a little sorry for her sometimes.

>>36053

>Where did you learn Ren'Py?

I learned by reading the documentation on the official website and with the tutorial game that comes on Renpy. It's quite easy, especially for the style of games I make, which are slides with texts.

>Give playhome a try.

Playhome does not have a Studio yet. If I'm not mistaken it will be released now at the end of January.

>or give the option from the beginning

Maybe I'll do it, I think it's the best solution, so the player who hates this kind of thing will not even get a chance to see an MMF scene.

>You sound like a cool guy, although misguided and with an apparent lack of resources.

I'm poor. And I do not have much knowledge about Hentai and adult games. Virtually everything I do is based on intuition. When I received the first emails asking for certain things (like NTR) I had to search the internet to find out what the terms meant. I think I just played two hentai games in life: True Love and Immoral Study.

>>36060

Keep it up, my man. We need more people like you.

Seriously, I'm playing for the sex and I'm staying for the retardness. Jesus, I'm loving this game!

Also, look around for grammar mistakes sometime, I think I've saw one, around the first interactions.

any incest in this or is it just vanilla?

>>36061

Found one. Around the time you are arriving home from the threesome with the teachers, Alex will say "I agreed", but since he's speaking "I agree" is the correct for the context.

>>36048

>One scenes do not exclude the others in Solvalley

OI, DEV. DA FUCK IS THE CHOICE BETWEEN LUCY AND MILENA?!

>>36061

My english is trash.

>>36066

This only made a difference in the early versions. If you responded badly to Milena at the events, and chose Lucy on this one, on the first visit to Milena's house she would say something like "I know you love another but I want to continue being your friend," Alex would then make some excuse and leave the house to neversee Milena again, since he only wanted sex, not friendship. This does not happen anymore. You can choose who you want Milena will always be available at the end.

P.S .: I want to put back choices that have consequences in the last version of the game. It will have the "normal" mode (50 days and the choices have consequences) and "endless" (you can talk what you want and still do 100% of the events of the game).

>>36067

No problem, man. Mostly the issues you have to fix are minor, really, like mistaking "whine" for "wine".

>>36067

>My english is trash.

The Twist, Big Brother, SuperPowered, Second Happiness and so many others have far worse English.

Your shitty English isn't that big of a deal. Anyway it's honestly not that bad. Just the odd spelling issues.

I just played House Arrest. I'm liking your stuff.

Oh boy oh boy I hope my headpats are in.

I hope best girl Anastasia has extra content.

ANGRY

>>37581

I made this Vanilla option based on a post I read here. Whoever plays Vanilla will not see other penises rendered beyond the protagonist.

NOTE: For those who like these games I do, I've just created a thread about another game I'm doing with Renpy + Honey Select. The game is a bit better than Solvalley because I had more experience when I did.

Dev, do you intend to rethink the whole step-sister stuff? I'm not saying that you should: but, after what happened to Big Brother and Dating my daughter…

Maybe Lara could become a childhood friend; or, even better, her relationship with the MC could be customizable (the player chooses what they are).

>>37673

I hope you burn in hell for this post, retard.

>>37674

>Calling retard me instead of Patreon rules

>>37663

Some people here straight up hate the fact that the option exists from the beginning. The only way you can make them happy is by removing it completely, and I wouldn't mind that. That's why (((OPTIONAL))) is a meme. The game is not bad, but you'll probably get shit for that anyway.

>>37675

If you go along retarded rules that make yourself a retard, retard.

>>37673

I was told in another forum that stepsister also goes into Patreon's incest filter, but I don't believe it. I think it's okay to Lara be the protagonist's stepsister. If Patreon wants to censor, then I simply delete Lara from the game, after all she is probably one of the ugliest characters in the game, along with Professor Laura.

>>37678

I would be pissed off, if I had to cut tons of renders. But, hey, if it's OK for you…

Tbh I don't care much of Lara, but I love the game and I just want it to be safe from Patreon censorship.

Okay, I just read the topic about Patreon and apparently they say that stepsister is considered incest. Anyway, I think it would be enough to change a few lines of my game to re-adjust it to the rules. If by chance Patreon blocks my page, I'll make the change. If they do not accept the change, then I'll look for alternatives.

>>37684

Why don't you just remove the family link (mom, sis, stepsis, whatever) from the dialogs and allow the user to enter the relation (like a custom name) the beginning of the game. I can make Lara my sister or step sister..or friend…

>>37684

<Alternatives

Honestly, Im really wanting to get some of you devs together and make that alternative. The issue is finding a country with amicable laws and someone in that country to act as an agent. From there, making something that is a cross between patreon and DLsite would fit really well.

v0.6

Yes you are making good bitches.

Keep up the good work.

Did you not keep the original images for your first game, so now you can't convert the high quality ones to webp? There's only the newer ones I see converted.

>>41647

I have 99% of the images used in the game in PNG format. But I ended up deciding not to convert all of them because I was late and needed to put the game on Patreon as fast as possible.

I like the reference to House Arrest. That was cute.

>>41616

What the fuck, I actually laughed a couple of times.

>>41616

Anons will think I'm you shilling, but I actually had a great time with this game, man. Patreon'd

>>41752

I'm the dev. Thanks for collaborating, I'm trying to accumulate as much money as possible to try to make a game with 2D art. All help is valuable because here in my shithole the dollar is worth a lot, so I can hire a good artist without having to earn $20k a month at Patreon (my goal is $1100).

As for shilling, this board is not the right place to do this. I love this place because of the brutal reviews, but in terms of pageviews this board is not very relevant. For example, in the last two weeks I have had less than 17 visits coming from here (pic related).

As for Solvalley, I have realized that little by little people are creating the courage to test it. I understand perfectly, the game is garbage in many aspects, I personally would not even give it a chance if I saw the repulsive initial image of this thread, for example.

Anyeay, I'm glad people who have the guts to face my retarded English and the generic art made at Honey Select end up enjoying the result. Even those who continue to think the game is garbage after playing show a special affection for it, as if it were their favorite garbage.

>>41755

How do you know that the traffic stats are not censored after that Dan Olson twat got 8ch kicked off patreon?

Shouldn't f95 be listed there too?

>>41756

Because I've seen 8ch on the list a few times. But you're right, this count is not very relevant because of this:

>The recorded post view and traffic source data are currently limited to when someone visits a post’s URL. They do not yet include when someone views your posts on mobile, on their feed at patreon.com/home, or on your Patreon page.

Another VN game with no narration, just why.

Dont have the text be nothing but dialogue for fucks sake, use narration to describe how the characters are moving their tone of voice their mannerisms their body language etc

Making all text dialogue is the mark of a complete amateur and its extremely limiting

>>53450

>Another VN game with no narration, just why

I don't know why the other authors, especially those with native English, don't describe the subtleties of the dialogues.

In my case (I am the author of solvalley), the reason is simple:

1. My English sucks, so I have to keep the dialogue as simple as possible.

2. I steal images from Honey Select, so I can create endless images for each dialogue instead of always using the same sprites, so I can mitigate the lack of description with the poses and facial expressions (it would look like what guys do in comics, where it is only dialog + drawing, and less like a visual novel or a book). Of course, the result is not very good, and this does not completely exclude the need to narrate what the characters are thinking…

>>53457

A picture is worth a thousand words, but narration tells us what either isn't in the picture, or elaborates on the picture itself. And if you're playing to an English-speaking audience, know the language or find someone to hire/help/slave away.

>>53457

1. Thats fair enough

2. You still understimate the power of words and how much they can do in conjunction with images "but I have lots of images!" is not an excuse, if anything is an even bigger opportunity to have good writing that enhances it even more

I actually chuckled a couple times playing this which doesnt happen often when playing wegs And you seem to be doing your best with what you have so I cant stay mad at this one, its just frustrating when so mane western VNs dont seem to know what writing is and think its all dialogue

Godspeed little dev

>>53472

> its just frustrating when so mane western VNs dont seem to know what writing is and think its all dialogue

Yeah, you're right. In my case I prefer not to try to do what is beyond my capabilities because I don't want to do a cringe shit, only a funny unpretentious game.

But I'm starting a new game now trying to apply everything I've learned by reading criticism for 1 year and I'll try to write a bit deeper text.

Of course, without incorporate an erotica writer, but at least in some scenes I will write things from the narrator's point of view just to accentuate some feelings.

>>53481

Will you be dropping this game then? I was interested in the 3 sisters that want to get married storyline, it was pretty nice how their personalities define their actions instead of just jumping into sex immediately I wanted there to be more decisions with the sisters that had long term effects but I understand you wanted to put lots of heroines in the game for lots of small varied scenarios

If you keep your characters consistent and interesting like that you will find success.

>>53486

Oh yes those decisions seemed to be important and I really liked them, but if they do nothing itd be a bummer but I like decisions really altering the story in my games even if it means missing scenes, I might be in the minority

And you already have a free mode with no time limit though is the only one functional so far so you could put the decisions dont lock you out of content mode in there too

I like the prospect of a time limit to get a girl and I look forward to its implementation, I think its a great idea, you could make it so you have to befriend certain girls to get that one hard to get girl or something, man I wish I had time to make games Id totally steal this idea and run with it.

Well its your game so do what you feel is best for you and your patreons because Im not one of them after all, in any case good luck and stay motivated!

>>53483

<Sorry, I deleted the message to correct an error, here it again…

No, I'll keep doing Solvalley until I finish it.

It's that I make two games at the same time, when I start to run out of ideas I'll stop with one and go to the other.

About the three girls, my original idea was to have only two possible endings, which would depend on the choices the player makes at that pool event. If he says he likes the whole family and things like that, the end would be a harem with all three. If he did the choices where he demonstrates to have a special feeling for Anastacia, the end would be only with her.

But I still have not planned how to do it, probably I'll just put a choice for the player to make things easier, and also because the guys don't want to be creating multiple saves to see all the scenes.

Is this one ever getting updated, I kinda liked the writing

>>53488

try not to include cuck shit in the new game.

this is pretty good, the latest version got well over 100 scenes and like two dozen girls.
