Is this patreon only for now?

@nervki For now yes. But I will eventually add the first few parts to Itch free-to-play and later to Steam (also loving the Snow White profile pic)

Thank you. Itā€™s nice to see another Nikke fan. I figured sheā€™d fit here because she loves food. Also this is the picture of her drooling

Thanks @mrcat !! The Heft Effect is still early in development, but I thought it was time to try out a 3D modeled game!

I am eager to see how it turns out. While I admit that I am much more partial to your signature 2D artstyle, I am going to give this a fair chance.

Itā€™s definitely a different direction from my usual content, but donā€™t worry cause I am still adding in fun homages to my tradition styles. For example, THE will be playing with glitches (or breaking the 4th wall) so there will be some minigames and fun additions as new versions are added. Also, Voluptuous Fantasy is being developed too and has my signature style to it!

In every renpy game or really visual novel in general I play the first thing I do is open the settings and set text speed to maximum, aka, I prefer instant text.

I donā€™t like to see text appearing bit by bit, I find a guideline for reading distracting (I already know how to read :slight_smile: )

If itā€™s too complicated to add a setting for text speed to the game, any chance it could just default to instant instead of scrolling slowly (moderately fast but still slow compared to instant?)

slash is there anyone out there who enjoys watching the text scroll onto the screen?

Iā€™d get it if it was a visual novel about a magical pen or a magical book and there was like a plot reason to have to read in this manner, but if iā€™m just reading a story, why arenā€™t the words on the screen when I start reading a section?

Edit: Oh also the textbox does cover the renders sometimes in a way that makes me want to hide the textbox for a better look at some pants, it might be nice there was a hide ui hotkey, TLDR: sorry for whining about renpy features Iā€™m addicted to :smiley:

Edit2: If you manage to add a hideUI button, instant text, AND a screenshot hotkey that you put in the next patreon only build, thatā€™d definitely get a sub out of me :stuck_out_tongue: Otherwise I am not sure I am in a huge rush to enjoy 0.2 when QoL might in my imagination be around the corner making fall 2024 a better time to play more of the game, or whatnot.

Thanks so much @namad for the in-depth feedback!

The Heft Effect uses my own visual novel generator through Unity instead of Renpy since I am more comfortable with it and have more control over things. (For example: in V0.2 there are ā€˜glitch effectsā€™ and minigames.)

All of your recommended additions are great! And I can definitely add them in for some quality of life. (The ā€˜screenshotā€™ option may be a bit more difficult since I have never done that before, but Iā€™m sure itā€™s easier than I think it is.)

Also, on a side note, V0.2 does include a Gallery where you can revisit moments in the story. I do plan on releasing new versions each month for Patrons, and the first few versions will be available on Itch for free over time as well (I plan on releasing a full build like Savoring Sword for Itch and Steam later in the future) Patreon allows me to make full games and gives Patrons updates throughout the progress, among other things. I like to try test my skills as a game developer by making all of my games unique, fun, and original from each other

Again, thank you so much for the feedback! Itā€™s my first time attempting to make a visual novel, as well as 3D model designing and posing, so itā€™s refreshing to hear that itā€™s turning out well!

@namad I was able to easily add instant text, as well as hiding the UI by clicking Tab. So those will be added to V0.3 (In V0.1, you can fast forward through text by holding Shift) I am having some difficulties adding screenshots tho
