Ren'Py Life's Payback [v1.7.1] [Vinkawa]

[Vinkawa]

Hows the sub goal going? Give update or guve me death I say.

The sub goal has been reached, I am leaking the game in a few minutes.

 

[Troqu]

I liked the last few updates of the game so I subbed for a bit, can't promise to stick around but the game's schedule and quality have been solid so it felt justified.

Life's Payback - v1.7.1​

Hey guys, I hope these 5 extra days weren't too hard to bear!


Elise and Mathilde have suffered from poor animation quality since the first versions.

For example, Elise had the worst animation of the whole game (the facefuck in the classroom)

Fortunately, it was finally their turn to receive an update so I was able to improve the existing animations and make a few others.

Also, their stories were really rushed. Once you spotted Elise helping Mathilde cheat, you basically could blackmail her on that single fact to unlock 5 scenes with her.

Where's the corruption buildup in this? It had to get some changes.

On the other hand, the second part of their arc (once you unlock their home) was pretty good, so I have made Elise and Mathilde way more resistant to the MC's first attempts, by adjusting their first quests.

I also had 5 extra days to work on that update compared to the other updates. I am honestly not sure if you will be able to see the difference, so I would appreciate any feedback about the length of this update.

Lastly, if you didn't read my public posts, you guys will have to vote in a few days to tell me if you want to stick to the 14 days update formula, or if you liked all the in-between events I've added between the sex scenes in this update, to make them feel more rewarding.

If you feel like I should make more animations and less quests leading to them, this is also a possibility if you're seduced by the 3 weeks update idea but would like to have it done differently.

Before voting in a few days, keep in mind this was a 19 days update, not a 21 days one. Two extra days could give you one or two more animations, or a fair amount of quests leading to one of them.

It's up to you. Happy to discuss it.

Compressed pls....

 

[cheeky-owl]

It's not that big even without being compressed. I've seen a lot of bigger VNs here.

Yo bruh's does anyone have full save my dog ate my last full save T-T

 

[cheeky-owl]

Tell the guy with fiber internet & big HDD...

Ah yes, I see. I can relate to that sometimes, because my internet likes to play jokes on me especially when I release updates. I am surprised it didn't ruin my nerves today. Must be a first...

For a sizeable portion, it probably is if they have a cap, or bad speeds, or just not much storage space. Also, when I'm cutting 80% of the file size down compressing, sounds like it could be optimized some.

That's a fair point. 80 percent is quite a lot.

I gotta ask... Why is the difference between Android and PC that abysmal? 5 gb vs 50 mb for apk? Is there a catch, some obb to download or is apk a 360p build?

I'm not looking at Anna's ass with a single pixel, you guys will have to deal with my 6GB updates.

What ?

Android kicked me out for having a game heavier than 4Gb, so I bypassed these noobs by making a fake 50Mb game which actually downloads the whole game

Lmao, ok, ok, not gonna like I was puzzled by that. Neat workaround, btw, also good to know what final size to expect. I seen this game over several chats and got me curious because there are never too many blackmail games in one's life

 

[drundr]

A few ideas that I have in mind, to try in this order :

1) The 4090 should be delievered with the codec NVDEC which obviously properly play webm files, check if you have that codec (I don't know how to do that but Google should help).

2) When the game starts, press shift+G and try a different renderer.

3) If it's not starting, or if the previous does not show a menu, press and hold shift when you launch the program and try a different renderer from there.

4) If none of these solutions work, that might be the power supply at this point, does it have enough Watts for your 4090 to handle the game ?

I can't help more than that, sorry.

Something is weird with the NVIDIA rendering of this game at the higher end of cards I think.

#3 fixes this for me but maybe put this in the main post incase others had problems.

When are we getting more Mom content?

Honestly, you are probably the best modern dev with actual dedication and care, i enjoy this, even if a little too blackmail based, i prefer love or lust, but this is good, updates are massive (in quality), and i really appreciate you giving the full save option, more devs should allow more "cheats" of sort. Thank you Vinkawa.
