Plans for the future of SotV

Hey people! Hope you're all doing great!
Just wanna talk a bit about my vision for the game.
First of all, the latest update was crucial in terms of coding. I don't know if I mentioned but before I started working on SotV I had zero knowledge on Renpy or programming in general.
That's one of the reasons why prologue was very linear VN with a few dialogue menus here and there.
Now we have a functional day/night system, repeatable events, stats and stat screens and many variables ...

SotV 0.2b release!

As promised, here's an improved 0.2 version with full extra scene + some tweaks of dialogue and coding.
Changelog:
- added: Fondle boobs I, II and III during nighttime
- fixed some code which might have caused skipping of certain repeatable events
- tweaked a few lines of dialogue
If you've played the previous 0.2 version then I recommend starting out from beginning of the "free roam" part in order not to miss anything.

EDIT: I thought it was intuitive but apparently not...

SotV 0.2 - patron release!

Here it is! Lots of new stuff, this update turned out way bigger than initially planned. So big in fact, that I didn't manage to include 1 repeatable scene due to lack of time.

I'm going on vacation today but I really wanted to give you guys a release beforehand... sadly it means there's this one scene missing.  

It is still a sizeable update and the missing content will be added shortly after my return so 1st half of September!  

Hopefully, there are no major ...

It just works!

As Todd Howard would say ;) 

I just finished the coding part, implementing day/night cycle and how events will play out using this system - both repeatable and one-time, unique scenes.
It seems everything works as I hoped it would ^^
It's not super complex but it allows for some player agency to make it more exciting than pure VN. The best part is - I can now freely modify, add or remove pieces as the need arises.

The screenshot is from the in-game main night time menu...

Quick update on v0.2

All renders and animations are done! I even made some extra which will be used for subsequent updates.
Also a little teaser for one of the h-scenes - Jevan landed in a dungeon but that doesn't stop him from practicing his newfound powers. How fortunate that warden happens to be a sexy girl ;)
I don't think I'll be posting any more images until release since I don't wanna spoil the fun. This particular h-scene consists of 10 images and 2 animations.

Starting tomorrow I'm gonna wo...

Progress report on 0.2

Hello!
I'm about halfway done with the update which means my previous prediction of August release seems very likely.
This whole dev thing is still very new to me so it remains to be seen whether it's feasible but I will try to keep the pace of 1 game update per 1,5/2 months.

What can you expect in the next patch?
- Jevan will no longer be just an observer. He will finally become an active practitioner of mind manipulation ^^
- Day/night cycle and introduction of gameplay l...

Sneak peak v0.2 and some rambling

Hi there!
It's still too early to tell the exact date of the next update but we're getting there.
As you all know, at the end of the prologue our hero got captured and sent to the dungeon. Though circumstances are dire, they also present unique opportunities to test his newfound powers on unsuspecting girls!
Here's a little appetizer before the main course.

If you're interested in tec...

SotV v01.b and Spanish translation

Work on the next update is a priority right now and every now and then I learn new things both in Renpy and Charastudio. For example, the sliders in Charastudio and Charamaker are a lie! ;)
The values can go much higher than max slider would suggest, if you just type the value you want.
With this arcane technique I modified MC's face a bit so his facial features are more defined. If you compare the new and old version side to side you will easily see the difference.

First steps...

So, it's been almost a week since I released prologue into the wild and the feedback was mostly positive. It means a lot knowing people really enjoyed the story and h-scenes, gives me that extra boost to work on this project even harder.

What's next?
- designing day/night gameplay loop
- introducing stat progression for main character so it feels like he's getting more powerful and skilled at using his newfound abilities
- more story, new characters and of course h-scenes with...

It begins... Symphony of the Void - prologue


Hey! It's finally time to release the prologue of my adult VN!
It took me quite a while since I had no prior experience in coding so even Renpy was a challenge at first^^
Prologue is a linear VN with some choices but I do plan on adding a bit more gameplay in future releases. I never intend this project to turn into a sandbox, just some simple free roaming, day/night cycle and basic stat progression for main character.
Feedback is appreciated!
