Long Road Home 0.4.0 progress update

Hello all, we're up to 483 renders and added one more animation. Mostly around the the main event that sets MC on his next path. I'm trying to pack a lot of action into the event so the staging of the action takes longer than it takes to render the images. There is a fair amount of duplication of images depending on the choice you make of how the event plays out. I'm trying to stay more disciplined on progressing the main story before adding a lot of eye candy this update. I went down several...

Long Road Home 0.4.0 Progress update

So far I've rendered 200 images and 15 animations. It is going a little slow since the story has progressed out West. I have to stage the all new locations where the scenes will take place. Plus there will be about  20 new characters that will be in this update. On the story side, the update will be mostly seeing the new locations and meeting the new characters. I don't want to give away the plot but the MC will have a couple of major decisions to make...

Long Road Home 0.3.2 Sound Hotfix and bug fix.

Attached is a hotfix to remove the sounds that are embedded in some for the video loops. With the sound embedded in the videos you can't turn them off or change the volume in-game.  My bad...  (No new content)

No need to down load or install if not being able to control the the sounds doesn't bother you.

In-game Sounds

I added sounds to some scenes last update. (Hastily and poorly in some cases.)

I embedded some of the sounds in the video clip rather than have them in the script. That doesn't allow the player to turn off or change the volume. Lesson learnt. I'll correct that in a hotfix along with some miss-tagged images. (Tracy in-scene but showing Jessy as talking.)

The larger issue is like or dislike of sound effects by the supporters. I am agnostic about them personally. They are small in si...

Ginger Poll

Please make a choice as to which Redhead you want to see in the game in the 0.4.0 update. 

Ginger Options for 0.4.0

I want to add a red head to the new characters for 0.4.0. I rendered some girls for you to vote on. The little one on top is, Eryn. Far left is Rachael. Next is Rose. Next is Kelly. Next is Vickie. Next is Heather, Last is Jolina. I'll run a poll to see who you like best.   

New Characters from 0.4.0

This is Stan and Della. Stan is the President of one of the clubs and Della is his ol' lady.

This will be one of the main locations in 0.4.0 and going forward. Looks like a good place to kick back and drink a cool one...  

Colorizing In-game choices

Hello all, I wanted some feedback on the colorized game choices that I added to eliminate the need for a walkthrough. It does take some of the mystery out of the game. Some like to make their choices and see where it takes them. Others (myself) like to know they aren't missing any content. I tend to play all paths on multi path games. I might add a script has colors and one without.

Long Road Home 0.3.0 Update Information

I made a couple changes to the game to hopefully to improve the user experience. 

The color of the paths are shown on the choice menu. A blue choice is the good path. A red choice is the bad path. This will eliminate the need for a walkthrough. 

I added menus to skip scenes that you do not want to see. I'm not 100% on past content. The type of scenes that can be skipped is based on polling feedback. Scenes that were fine with most won't have a skip option.

I'm expe...

Long Road Home 0.3.0 Saves File

0.3.0 Update. I merged 3 paths into 2 on this update. Your old saves should work but just in case I've uploaded save files. One for the good path, one for the bad path.  

Long Road Home 0.3.0 Update

Hello all. Firstly, I apologize for the long gap in progress updates. I won't go into everything,  but we had a death in the family and it took a bit to sort things out. I'm finalizing the update for 0.3.0 and should have it out in a few days. I've struggled to combine a couple of the paths and keep the story plausible. It will simplify the writing process going forward. Being a newby Dev my desire to have multiple paths far out stripped my ability to maintain that many paths and get upd...

0.3.0 Update status

I'm making progress but not as fast as I'd hoped I would. We had a family health event last week (not me) that took my time supporting the family member.

This will be a big update keeping the three paths in line with each other. I debated putting out a separate update for each path, but I decided against it. I've played other multi-path games that do that but the game feels disjointed. It may seem that way to me because I  play all paths at the same time.

I hope to have the u...

0.3.0 Progress update

 Hello all,

I hope that everyone is safe and healthy. 

I'm grinding out renders. I bought a new GPU and it is a rendering beast. I've produced 260 still image renders and 30 animations with a total 900 animation frames rendered thus far. I left my old GPU in my Home/Office computer and use it manly to do animations. Most animations take 10 to 12 hours to render so I just let it run and do scene posing and still renders on my gaming PC.  Haven't started working on th...

Friggen power supply ramblings...

Hello all. I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I had a minor glitch in the process when my power supply crapped out on my Gaming PC. I've got one ordered and on the way. I'm in the process of moving my Dazd3 assets and Ren'Py stuff over to the Home/Office PC. I had to move the GPU out of my gaming PC since the I couldn't render with the one in the office PC. First world problems..

Take care
