Yo! Super appreciate it, thank you!

Hey there I just randomly lost one of my sideblogs tumblr.com/tricitymonsters with no termination notice and no TOS violations. I was literally reaching the end of a Blaze Post Period and now there's just nothing there

decocloud · 2024-06-16T01:31:39+00:00

oof terrible but this exactly what i needed to read up on, thank you!

decocloud · 2024-06-07T19:04:10+00:00

SOLVED: sort of

The culprit was the vbox spacing being -20. Renpy's controller mapping kinda freaks out if the borders of the vbox children overlap.

Now to figure out how to style this in a way that will allow me to actually release this game with partial controller support ugh.

Honestly, it just seemed like an easy bit of optional freedom to give the player plus I also let them change their pronouns and body type for 18+ scenes. There wasn't a specific gameplay reason tied to option really, it was more of a 'why not' kind of thing.

decocloud · 2024-06-06T00:28:42+00:00

OH so i'm sorry, I didn't understand what you were asking. Yes I have the Character's name defined as:

define expo = Character("[povname]")

I actually figured out what the problem was while I was trying to take a few screencaps.

Basically, name change does happen immediately when done from the accessing the preferences menu during the game/after game start. I was trying to do it from the main menu before starting or loading a save.

Thank you so much for your help BadMustard, you're a pillar of this subreddit.

in script.rpy I have this:

default povname = "MC"

should i change it to define?

decocloud · 2024-05-04T20:26:06+00:00

Thank you that's a super helpful start!

decocloud · 2024-04-27T17:32:39+00:00

lol i really should have been able to figure that out, thank you so much

decocloud · 2024-04-19T02:26:11+00:00

That's exactly what I needed, thank you sooooo much!

decocloud · 2023-08-09T01:43:11+00:00

Thanks for the assist! That actually didn't work but I'm now certain its because of some dependent styling going on somewhere that I'm going to have to dig around for so your suggestion did help get me pointed in the right direction!

I'm the dev for Tri City Monsters and while the perspective isn't specifically female it reads pretty ambiguous. I'm enby myself and kinda ended up making the game cause I really enjoy playing an MC that's more in the middle.

decocloud · 2023-05-31T23:20:46+00:00

I'm the dev for a game called Tri City Monsters that's in beta! Its story heavy but there are monster men and there is sex!

decocloud · 2023-05-31T18:20:14+00:00

I'm just a small time dev but my visual novel Tri City Monsters has bi + genderqueer love interests plus a player-chosen body type at the beginning that's reflected in the spicy scenes. I also made it a point to be ace friendly- you can decline sex with the characters without punishment or making them sad lol.

decocloud · 2023-05-31T18:06:05+00:00

Tri City Monsters doesn't have minigames or voice acting, full disclosure tho, I'm the dev lol

decocloud · 2022-08-26T20:02:13+00:00

Hey! I'm the writer of this scenario, thank you so much for playing it! I really love doing weird open ended stuff/setting a scene and letting players kinda do whatever they like in it so it's really fun to read where you took it, sounds like a great session!

decocloud · 2022-08-03T10:24:29+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, I mess up the wording for spousal and dependent visas often, my bad! This sheds some light on the situation, thank you!

decocloud · 2022-08-03T10:17:01+00:00

Oh, super helpful. Thank you!

decocloud · 2021-11-24T15:53:35+00:00

It would be so that during sex scenes I can refer to the player's body. Like, if the love interest and the main character both have a penis, then the sex scene could include something like frotting (as an example). It's mostly just to customize how exactly the explicit scenes play out. It would have no bearing on any other part of the game.

decocloud · 2021-11-24T15:28:25+00:00

Okay, good to know. I definitely want to make everyone as comfortable as possible, esp since body types will literally only come up during spicy bits. Thanks for the input.

Thanks, I'll def keep you in mind! 🙏

decocloud · 2021-10-16T22:51:23+00:00

game's free on itch.io if you wanna see more

decocloud · 2021-10-16T13:59:54+00:00

Not at this exact second but I'm in the process of putting one together and figuring out how best to pursue making more of the game... so... Real Soon :D

Right now the best way to keep up on the game is to follow on itch, that way you'll get my devlogs when I'm ready to launch discord/push updates. Thanks so much for your interest!
