A suggestion to OneMan: please enable dialogue skipping. For those of us that played the tyrano version, or any other players doing a restart, it helps to avoid wear and tear on our mouse button (or space bar). ;)
Just enable Skip Unread Text in the prefs

Want to chime in that switching to Ren'py is a good decision.
I honestly don't get why anybody would prefer tyranno builder over it.
As a player I certainly don't. Even the best tyranno games are slow and awkward.
Choosing tyrano is done by those that are new to creating games and just haven't learned that there are better choices (like this game's developer, before he saw the "light"), or by those that just want a point-n-click development platform and don't give a crap what the results are like. Which is why you don't see too many tyrano games on F95. Almost everyone on this site dislikes it, and those devs on Patreon that use tyrano tend to get a lot of negative feedback and the devs lose income when those supporters quit to go with games whose developers listen to the feedback. If the feedback is saying that certain aspects of a game suck, and the tool(s) that were used to make the game won't let you fix problems or you just don't care enough to make the effort, then such developers deserve for their patrons to stop supporting them. No one likes buggy and/or clunky software, and games are no exception -- no matter how great its renders may be. It's why I avoid almost all RPGM-based games. I hate running around on a map which uses 20-year old 2D pixel graphics. RPGM is for children's games. Adults deserve games that use decent engines. A VN does not need RPGM, nor does it benefit much from it. VNs with fetch tasks can be done just fine using Renpy. Just takes a bit more work to code the map stuff. But the end result is by far more professional-looking and a whole lot less grief on adult players. Even ICSTOR (finally) saw the light and has switched.

i was just asking didn't mean to sound like rushing you i actually find the story really interesting at least whats out so far and rempy is good so keep working just know you got one interested human here :)
I didn't take it any different than how you meant it. The "I only have 2 hands part" was actually me being wishful I had 4 at times. So no worries, and thank you for checking it out. Releasing the last bit as we speak.

It was lack of knowledge with Renpy and fear (I was intimidated by it) Clearly it was a cakewalk. And I agree 100% I am glad you and many others voiced your concerns, complaints. It pushed me to learn, and boy did I learn in a hurry! Everything is officially converted now. Uploading final part as we speak. Again thanks for the interest and your honest opinions.

Heavily corrupt - Fictional NYC , ??? I had to Laugh when I read this ... That statement is anything but Fictional. I am from Upstate NY. Believe me, NYC is the Most Corrupt in the Entire Country.
So am I. Upstate is a worse cesspool actually. No one cares up here.

Renpy is a badly built mess and is decent enough for VNs but horrible for anything else. Devs that know their way around Unity will win in the long term.

Any way to make the text bigger??

Edit: fixed it by changing
define gui.text_size = number
in gui.rpy file

Then most devs probably don't. Unity games on here in my experience tend to be slow as fuck, buggy as hell, with terrible menus and often even lacking halfway decent save options.
Of course there are exceptions, but why not simply stick with ren'py for VNs, if that's all you wanna do?

I tend to agree, Unity is first and foremost an engine designed with 3D in mind and 2D a second thought, most basic things that renpy does unity struggles with. Also yes Unity tends to be a massive buggy mess.

I'll get used to renpy first and check out unity. I have nothing to lose.

Unless you plan to add RPG elements to your game (maps, character creation, etc.) then don't bother. Everything a VN needs is supplied by Renpy. Unity won't improve the game from the POV of a user, and even less so from the POV of a developer. And there are plenty of fine Renpy games that have maps, too ... such as Corruption, FILF, Milfy City, and Shaping Her Future, just to name a few.

Oh, I wasn't planning on using it for a VN. I did my research a while back. Just having thoughts of future plans, bigger ones I suppose. Thanks again I really appreciate you pushing me towards Renpy with that gentle nudge a few days back. Take care and I hope you try the new Renpy version! I made a lot of subtle changes, and some were notable even.

Added v0.2 to OP.

Thanks @OneManVN

Developer here once again. I have finally completed the tyrano-->Renpy conversion. I worked my butt off nonstop and it's done. If you find any errors please message me here. I have tested it for functionality, and it should work.
But you never know.

Changelog: fixed some typos, replaced most of the renders with 4K downscaled to 1920x1080 those of you with a good eye will notice right away. Example, Ricky Alison eating a burger was 4K rendered earlier today.
Added some more text to dialogue where needed. In order to help connect the dots in the story.
Added a *Hint* and a brief explanation of choices, more to come in the future.

What does the future hold? I have shown that I am listening, I've also shown you my commitment to this project.
In return, all I ask is some support if you do end up liking my work.

There are two bottlenecks that will slow down the progress as we move forward.

#1 is my job, I work like many of you Monday to Friday I have 2 jobs. That leaves me with only the Weekend to focus on the project. And as you have seen, I can focus heavily on it during those 3 days.

#2 is my current PC. Need better hardware if I want to create better renders and of course speed up the process by reducing the time required to render.

I wanted to be honest and upfront is all. All I can promise you is this. I will continue to work on it, and I intend to honor my patron tiers. So check out the page and get all the info.

Learning more stuff is always a good thing, but always use the right tool for the job at hand. Creating a VN with unity is like using a jackhammer to put in a nail. Sure, you can do it, but why bother when you can just use a regular hammer that's specifically designed for the task?

Holy moly, is that 3 releases in 1 day? Yo Dev, don't burn yourself out too quickly. Would be a shame too, because the game is very promising.

Hahaha, your concern is noted! I feel the love. You guys have been so awesome I just had to push myself. I work Monday to Friday so I really needed to get it done. I'm happy to report it is nearly flawless, only 3-4 things left that need fixing I noticed. Will get to them when I release next update on patreon.

I agree. Even I know that much. Renpy is "sex, love, and everything good" for a VN like mine.

Indeed, if there will be one or more pregnant ladies to play around with, this could be very special.
You can count on it. Only limitations will be the ones the player sets for him/her/themselves. Example. Professional route *hint* it splits away from gentle, and well that means...
