Serenity Chapter 1 (version 1.7)

Hello again my friends,

What we have here is a fresh build of Serenity Chapter 1. If you're still using version 1.6 or 1.6c (compressed), you will want to remove the old version and download this one. DO NOT overwrite the old folder! Your game will break. It is possible old saves may not work - best to start a new game if you have that issue. I suggest starting a new game anyway because I've made a few changes.

Granted, the changes I made were subtle. The goal here was to not only rebuild SerenityC1 with the latest version of Renpy, but I also used this opportunity to go through the entire dialogue (almost 9000 blocks of dialogue!) and check for misspellings and grammar issues. Also I have edited a lot of the dialogue, especially some of MC's dialogue and inner monologue to hopefully make him sound a bit less timid (a popular complaint from some players in the past). Now bear in mind that MC is pretty much a virgin in the beginning... so he will still be a little 'excitable' through the first scene with Kat. But he'll quickly feel a lot more confident after that. I didn't edit the story at all, only altered some dialogue here and there. I did add a bit of dialogue during sexual animations because my early animations were quite short. This at least makes it feel a bit better. I didn't do this for the first few of these scenes though.

While I was at it, I cleaned up the code quite a bit and reorganized it. Also removed several issues that Renpy detected using LINT. For animations, I noticed some of them were starting rather instantly (kinda jarring). I added 'dissolve' effects to all of them so they start a lot more smoothly now. Finally, I played the entire game from start to finish just to make sure all animations and renders loaded with no issues, and to make sure I was happy with my edits. Needless to say, this all took me a lot longer than I thought it would. But it was well worth the effort to make sure you have a solid gameplay experience with this old game.

Going through this game brought back a lot of memories, both good and bad. I also gave more thought about doing a rewrite. I'm not going to do that. Regardless of how some people out there feel, I like the way this story flows and the music that accompanies the scenes fit exactly how I wanted it to. Sure, some dramatic parts are resolved fast. I don't care... it was meant to take you away from drama, life, work... stress. I wanted this to be as destressing as possible when someone plays through it. Is it still cheesy? Yep LMAO. And yes, there are some renders in there that could really be replaced... THAT I may actually do at a later time. Right now I need to get on with the Last Human update.

I owe thanks to quite a few people for the help in learning to do this stuff but a big shout out to Cryoxxx (Oppai Odyssey) for dealing with almost every kind of stupid question I could possibly ask. The biggest thanks I owe is to you guys... the ones who stuck around with me and some of which chose to support me. That support gave me the ability to spend money on good music for my games (something I spend a lot of time on). Music added the magic needed to bring everything together so that emotional scenes really feel more emotional. I'm no professional... I'm not a renowned novelist or amazing writer by any means... I just write what I feel and what you see is what you get. Some people rate my games really low, some rate them really high. None of it matters as long as I still have those of you that keep coming back for more. I'll keep making them if you keep coming for them.

Love you all, ...Fire
