April SS Reward #1 - Ample Chests v0.1!

Download Links: PC | Mac | Android

Hey all, it is with great pleasure that I am finally able to present to you the game that we have been hard at work making all month!

Ample Chests is a visual novel style game (not dissimilar to The Pill) where the decisions you make will grant you different endings! There are 8 outcomes to discover, along with 10 unique transformation animations (and 4 variations on a theme), and over 150 character expressions.

This has definitely been our most ambitious creation within a single month, and has been a great challenge learning the ins and outs of Ren'Py. I hope you guys enjoy the results!

I'm also missing Trevor's Big Day but the joke could be that he never gets it...poor Trevor

I'm not that mean! If you actually want to know Lady Grove gave Rex429 a hint that will help you 😉

Do you have a hint to get Trevors big day?

SPOILER WARNING I have no subtle hint but might I suggest you send Simone on the first mission then keep her on the ship.

I got around the original mac issue; however, before I can even click start it crashes my computer. Has anyone found a solution?

Huzzah on sorting the first thing but boo on the second one. I know nothing about macs so hoping the collective wisdom of the patrons can assist you on this one.

When I first tried playing it, right after the first option my computer quarantined it, saying it had a Trojan in it... I bet Trevor keeps one in his wallet. Not bad, I would have liked to have seen a bit more diversity in the transformations but still enjoyable.

Glad you were able to sort out the quarantine. In terms of diversity, we wanted to leave some options open for future chapters, so there was room to 'grow' (as it were).

So one thing i noticed is that if you turn the music all the way down (never been a music guy for this stuff...thank you for releasing music free versions of your videos by the way!), the sound effects of the growing/expanding doesn't come through

B
B.E. Grove · April 30, 2024

Thanks for letting me know - the likely reason for that is that the growing etc is a pure video, for which the audio channels are mixed down. We had to do it that way or else there would be syncing issues for the music/sfx. The game itself can't really get around that, but if you would like I could export out versions of the animations without the music and add them to the second reward post?

Very nice job, well done. I took it down and dropped it. I liked it very much. It is very good.

That was again a fun to play, thank you all very much for it ^^ Little bug: If you replay an ending, it will be cancelt in the completion list.

B.E. Grove · May 1, 2024

Thanks for letting me know - I'll look into that and see if there are other issues that can be wrapped into a quick fix.

"“AmpleChests” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."

B.E. Grove · May 1, 2024

Hi Magix, sorry you're getting that issue, I was able to run it without issue on a mac but it may have been because it was an older operating system. Here is a potential workaround: https://www.lifewire.com/fix-developer-cannot-be-verified-error-5183898

Your game is flagging my anti-virus no other renpy games do that.

B
B.E. Grove · May 1, 2024

From searching into it, it has been an issue in the past with some Ren'Py games. It didn't trigger on mine and appears to be a bit inconsistent. Were you able to get the game working in the end?

Magix Matt · April 30, 2024

This won't play on MAC

B
B.E. Grove · May 1, 2024

Hi Magix, I'll reply to your second comment assuming it is the same issue.

The animations for the android version aren't playing for some reason :(

B
B.E. Grove · April 30, 2024

That's troublesome - we tested the game on a few android systems without issue - what OS are you running?

Brilliant! Another masterpiece! And bug free, the work really shows. I like the boat animations, the way it looks like a model shot from old B movies.

B.E. Grove · April 30, 2024

Glad you enjoyed it, and that was a little bit of the inspiration for the transitions (like it was a toy moving around)
