adding flashback sequences to the game! because the funniest part about a night out is having to face the dumb shit you did last night 🥳

also, thank you all for the really nice words and reception. it motivates us so much, and it feels surreal that this game really reached people like this. you're all awesome 💖

here's some comments that really struck us. thank you so much for your words!!!!
a comment by raptorhearted that reads: Fantastic, atmospheric game that shows just what the Ren'Py engine can be capable of in creative hands. Fantastic artwork, stylish visuals and presentation, and an amazing glimpse into an incredibly compelling world. The prose is effortlessly powerful, and the themes--choice, death, grief, pain--are mature and thought-provoking. It is on the short side; though I believe that it is far better to leave a reader hungry for more than to overstay one's welcome. The dynamic of a disabled individual and a caretaker is one I rarely see explored in fiction, and even more rarely still is it done well. Ramla and Hermeto's relationship is compelling and interesting. I really, really enjoy seeing disabled characters explored through lenses of fantasy, and while it is so often poorly done, Ramla's characterization feels uncannily familiar to my own life experience. I love Hermeto and yearn to learn more about him. The world is compelling and interesting, and very little time is wasted on needless exposition. It is a small view of an immense and interesting world; Earthsea, Dark Souls and Elden Ring all come to mind. I really appreciate when stories allow a setting and its characters to speak for themselves. Incredible work. The fact this was made for a Jam shows incredible skill and potential for the team behind it. a comment by lackadaisicaltiger that reads: Thank you. Reading it has made me feel less alone - so many of my own thoughts reflected at me. The paradox of wanting to be forgotten and wanting to be remembered exactly as you are with no misinterpretations, at the same time. The selfishness inherent with the choice to foist making a decision onto someone else, as opposed to the selfishness inherent to love and sacrifice. It reminded me of the courage that I have somewhere deep within, collecting dust, that I need to draw on to love myself, no matter how terrifying it is. Even if building a pain tolerance is comfortable, even if pretending that I want nothing is easier. a comment by mochirdzq that reads: The choice was never yours to make until now, whether you like it or not. Ediction does a wonderful job of simultaneously making you feel the burden of agency and the indignation of being robbed of it. Through the exceptional writing of inner and interpersonal dialogue, along with haunting yet striking visuals, you flesh out the true meaning and value of autonomy, going back and forth between freedom and convenience. You are then forced to make a choice, and whatever it is, it will mean something because it was yours.

hello! icymi, we made a visual novel called Ediction back in february that you can play right now! we made it in a month for Nikko's love and attraction jam, and it was a blast :) we hope you enjoy it 🫶

we also made a spreadsheet that lets us visualize the available attributes for a pose of a given character. this way if we have 3 characters in a scene, we can see all their available poses/expressions at a glance, to reference while sequencing! it's come in super useful :]

tl;dr: make tools!!!!

first up, we made our own layered image exporting tool, that takes a .clip file, exports every group as a png, and creates a .RPY file with the layered image syntax. it's saved us a ton of time, and lets us iterate without the overhead of doing manual adjustments later!

starting to add in expressions and poses in-game! it's been a super fun process so far 🫰

we made two tools to make the process easier and faster, more in the replies!

oh won't somebody think of poor lukey and his struggles 😔

#fvn #furry
a screenshot of WHODUNNIT. howie, a cat, and lukey, a turtle, are in an apartment lobby. lukey's dialogue reads "Hey now, I'm takin' her peace of mind to heart, Howie! It's not easy bein' a landlord, y'know."

we showed this off in our Discord server previously but we wanted to keep things as a surprise so we added a toggle to censor absolutely every text in the game. honestly it makes for a fun effect

of course! I'll make a longer devlog/maybe package some of them up in itch.io, but a quick explanation is that we use transform functions so we can do some reactive movement. Here's some pictures with comments, hopefully they help:
def pitch_zoom_camera_on_specific(trans, st, at, name= "", zoom = 1.0, immediate=False): global target_xoffset # Make sure we use perspective. trans.perspective = True trans.ypos = -10 char_name = name # 0 is the camera zoomed out, -650 is the camera REALLY zoomed in. # Provide a value from 0 to 1, and we will zoom according to that lerp. lerp_val = lerp(0, -650, zoom) # If we got a name, then search for an image with that tag as the name. # This will be a character sprite. Get the bound info, and use the position and width of # those bounds to know where our camera must go to focus on that sprite. if char_name != None: bounds = renpy.get_image_bounds(char_name, layer="master") target_xoffset = None if bounds != None: # Target X position: X position of the sprite - screen width / 4 - width of sprite / 4 + 70 # 70 is a magic number, just makes it feel more centered. This formula is weird but it works! target_xoffset = bounds[0] - (config.screen_width/4) - (bounds[2] / 4) + 70 if target_xoffset: # If immediate, just immediately set that position if immediate == True: trans.zpos = lerp_val trans.xoffset = target_xoffset else: #If not, then use exponential decay to smoothly transition to those values. trans.xoffset = expDecay(trans.xoffset, target_xoffset, 8, 0.006) trans.zpos = expDecay(trans.zpos, lerp_val, 8, 0.006) # Return 0 so we can redraw this ASAP return 0
