VN Ren'Py Abandoned Wifey's Dilemma [v0.13] [3Diddly]

[Sukebe_S]

so far that i know off there is no game called " A Wife's Dilemma " when I was talking about title he agreed with one of the ones I suggested which is [A Wife's Dilemma] while it is pretty much similar in name it is enough to differentiate. So what it comes down to was purely calling your game that, but again it was just a suggestion, it is up to you if you want that name or if you want to choose something else. I merely came with that in terms of because you wanted to continue this game but in your own image and creativity. I am fully behind this and am glad that you wish to do this I just don't want people having the idea or confusion that you are 3Diddly or that you are associated with him, Inspired yes but other wise no. So just saying this as you might have misunderstood ancienregimele and also me. So to be clear I have no idea if there is a game out there with the name I merely suggested but I merely suggested it as a way to get your own thread and have a name for the game to show that it is continuation of this game but from a different creator that is merely inspired by 3Diddly but in no way shape or form the same person, does this it make more sense this way ? Let me know what you think.

Oh! I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I get it now. Those are good suggestions! I'll definitely start a new thread when I'm ready to post Day 1--something that explains this is a new venture, yet inspired by an old, abandoned attempt.

My 2 cents, you have a lot to do with rebooting this project. Renaming it might be a 5th or 9th order task.

Get the assets, write the script, start building the game. You will get momentum to launch under any name if you do a good job.

Definitely! I've got most of the assets for day 1 (and lots for future days, as I see them unfolding) and still slowly collecting more. I'm writing the script and building the game kind of simultaneously. I have Atom script-writer open as I play-test, and I continuously revise the script all while DAZ is churning out renders. It's fun! While this all happening, I got the back of my brain brainstorming titles...

Anyway, here's an image I don't think I'll use for the game (at least for day 1). Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement, dudes!

am digging and liking the few renders so far keep it up m8

A little status update: things are progressing fairly well. For the first day, I have 2 of the possible 6 endings finished. But I've hit a few snags with Renpy. If I had more than zero programming experience, it'd probably be nothing, but seeing as how I'm a complete novice, it might take me a couple days to work the kinks out.

I got a new computer with a faster GFX card and processor. The DAZ renders are churning out quite nicely, and I feel my skill with the program growing every day. I still have a long way to go, though.

Here's a sample image. If anyone has any comments or critiques on how I can improve my DAZ skill, let me know!

These renders look great, and do the Original game justice, i would argue they look even better. Looking forward to what you create.

Btw how difficult is it to learn to use DAZ and also Renpy? I'm a comic artist, as i feel that's the best way for me to tell my stories, but i've always wanted to make a game, something with a bit more substance then a RPGM game. Have too many stories i eventually want to work on lol.

Looks good to me, I really don't see much wrong with it at all, however if I was forced to find something wrong I would say maybe the scale was not quite right, ie: she is too big for the background, but like I said that's if I was forced to find fault. BUT, that is serious nit picking and what you have produced is more than good enough, great work keep it up.

You renders are great, but what about story? Will it be as the original ? Girl corruption with physical transformations?

Don't quote me on this but iirc, i think he was remaking it in his own image, meaning the idea is still there just like 3Diddly not sure about if he plans on doing bimbofication in this but corruption is still going to be a part of the game, so far not much of story has been released or what not. But from what I gather it wont be much in the complete same line as Katie's corruption or what not.

Thanks!

It's interesting...when I started this project last month, Renpy seemed relatively straightforward and DAZ was incredibly daunting. But now it's kind of the opposite. There's always some little niggling error somewhere in Renpy that fucks up the whole thing. Then I got to chase it down... it's frustrating, but I hope I'm getting better at it.

With DAZ, the first time I downloaded it, I thought I'd never get the hang of it. But then I worked through a few tutorials, played around a bit, and got better. Then I watched some Youtube tutorials, learned new skills, kept tweaking, and got better still. There's still lots of stuff I don't understand at all (textures? morphing? iray vs 3delight? the necessity of cameras? the intricate differences between Genesis models?), stuff I want to figure out (lighting, attaching genitals lol, getting characters interacting with each other), stuff I'm getting better at (posing, animations, expressions, rendering options), and stuff I really enjoy (acquiring and using new assets).

If you're a comic artist, I definitely recommend downloading it and playing around. It's the kind of program where you can take your pre-existing artistic knowledge and apply it in fun and new ways.

Thanks! And I see what you mean... if she stood up, she might appear as big as godzilla...

Working with backgrounds is pretty tough. Most of what I've been doing is just making figures in DAZ and then posting them over pre-existing backgrounds in Renpy, but there's only so much you can do. I want to get better at making figures interact with backgrounds in DAZ.

But from what I gather it wont be much in the complete same line as Katie's corruption or what not.

Yep, that's right. When I got started, I figured I'd just pick up where 3Diddly left off. But I was kind of confused by some of his structure decisions (love points AND fidelity points AND slut points) and how they'd interact with your fundamental choice as to whether she'd stay true to you or be enticed to stray. I couldn't quite figure out where he was going.

So I decided to fundamentally change the game's structure. Now, it's going to be three basic storylines, with two directions for each storyline to take. Those directions are determined by your choice of her personality and your preference of ice cream, as well as how many love points you have (I'm doing away with fidelity points and slut points). In the end, there will be six storylines, and two endings for each. It'll probably be more like Virtual Novels than games, but I hope people still enjoy it.

Everyday, I stray further and further from 3Diddly's work, but I'm keeping his premise, his artistic inspiration, and (hopefully) his tone. But 90% is going to be completely original.

As for kinks, yes to girl corruption, bimbofication, physical transformation, and all the other goodies 3Diddly had going, plus a few elements that come purely from my own fucked up psyche.

ANYHOO, instead of talking about it, I should get back to actually working on it. It's a pretty big project!

 

[Infidelisoft]

Are you using RenPy's Lint function? It's not perfect but if your game is quite simple it should help you track down a lot of simple issues (filenames not existing, etc) that don't pop up when starting up the game.

Oh I feel we will love it

Hi everyone,
I know it's been a long time and everyone has a bitter taste in their mouth, but I've come to give you some news.
I'm going to finish Katie's Corruption in good faith, no cash gate for the game. I'm going to earn your trust back.
I will then start up on a new project. No patreon page for now, but when the game is finished, I will start accepting donations again.
No excuses, only action this time. I know I disappointed a lot of you, and I'm sorry. I'm only human. Stay tuned.

Show us, don't tell us.

And welcome back.

Hey 3Diddly!

I'm super-stoked to hear that you're back! No bitter taste here. I understand how disruptive life can be, and how creative projects don't always come together according to peoples' timeline and content expectations. I'm excited to see where you take Katie's Corruption, and I'm wondering if you have finishing plans for Wifey as well (hope you do!).

I've been rebuilding Wifey's Dilemma as a DAZ/Renpy learning process, and I'm creating an almost entirely new game from it. I'll change the title, but definitely credit your original work as an inspiration. Hope that's cool, and maybe you can even give me feedback sometime.

Thanks for returning!

Yep... The lint feature has been quite helpful, and I am getting better and better. I think a lot of the difficulty I have is that I don't have the precise mindset of a programmer. Attention to detail (indentation levels, colons, how many equal signs are needed, etc.) isn't a strongsuit, but I've been growing and that's a good feeling.

Anyway, since 3Diddly's returned, I should probably create a new game thread and post updates there. I don't want to hijack this thread now that he's back. As soon as I come up with a new title, I'll get something set up. Day 1 of the game is almost complete, and at that point I'll post it.

Thanks for the interest and help, dudes!

Please don't abandon your reboot. I love

Pretty please, we want to play your reboot with fucked up psyche

Oh, don't worry about that! I've put too many hours into this to abandon it. But now that 3Diddly's back in the game, I'm going to try to strip out as much of his original content as I can, so that it will feel like more of an homage than a ripoff. I'm really gonna miss the original Wifey music, though--it was very distinctive and original, and it matched 3Diddly's storytelling tone perfectly. I don't think I've heard those tunes in other games. I guess I'll start searching through royalty-free music soon.

I know I keep on saying this, but I feel really close to a release. Part of what is taking me awhile is that I'm a bit of a perfectionist. As I get better at DAZ, I find myself going back over my earlier images and doing them again using new things I've learned. The other part is that Renpy is always giving me headaches. But I'm getting better at that too.

I'm thinking about calling the new game "My Virgin Bride," or perhaps "Your Virgin Bride." Or maybe just "The Sham Marriage." But maybe you guys have a better title? I'm open to suggestions. As soon as I have it fully created and uploaded to various sharing sites (like MEGA, NOPY, etc.) , I'll create its own thread.

Until then, here's an image that I came up with today. It has the three types of "wife" you can choose: the angel, the student, or the tease.
