«Сила Веры» / Leap of Faith [Chapter 3 [v.0.3.2c] Rus / Chapter 4 [v.4.5c Complete] Eng + Walkthrough] (2020) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [MacOS] [Linux] [Android]

Dev Diary, 8th of January, 2021
First dev diary of 2021, and first a warm welcome to those who are new and respectful nods to those who's been here a while.

After the release of Chapter 4 and the bugfix version, I took a few days of much needed time off to enjoy the holidays with the family and my better half that for once was home celebrating Christmas and not being offshore.

New Renpy version

I have taken a few days to test and adjust Leap of Faith to the new Renpy v7.4.0 version. There is a bit more scripting in LoF than just dialogue and renders, but it is working 100% now. I still have problems with animations lagging in the new Renpy version, and that is a really big issue when I do 60fps animations, but get an awful 4fps in game. I'll have a look at it later on when it's getting closer to release and see if I'll release the next chapter with the current Renpy v7.3.5 or move on to 7.4.0.

Chapter 5 progress

The prologue is finished and I've started the intro-stories. It's a bit of work with them, seeing the amount of endings you had in chapter 4, but I'm progressing nicely. I've had to focus a bit on animations, so now I'm at 117 static renders and 1,135 animated frames. I've also found some magnificent music that I'm really happy with.

New hardware

Yes! Finally I can move on to some more decent hardware then my 2012, $500 entry level gaming pc. It'll still be 2 more months until I can upgrade my 2060 GPU to the 3090, meaning the new hardware won't be faster for rendering, but posing will for me be a much more enjoyable experience, where I won't have to keep doing renders without previews.

It should arrive later on today, and my job for the weekend is to build and prepare it for rendering. Should be a fun weekend.

And I hope you have a good one too. Take care.

А будет перевод 4 части??

Я сначала играл в версию
V.0.3.2C
Сейчас скачиваю
V.4.5C COMPLETE ну игра мне понравилась

Понравился момент в игре,бывшая ГГ смотрит в бинокль и слеза по щеке.

Кто нашел как получить пинкод Робин?

Только что закончил v. 4.5, контента достаточно для первого впечатления. Игра отличная, ваш выбор действительно влияет на дальнейшие возможности и руты тех или иных персонажей, делайте их с умом.

Графика, история, геймплей - всё ок. Окончание версии 4.5 вообще пушка, кажется сюжет собирается резко и смачно завернуть нас в ряд новых историй.

Игра отличная

Ждёмс перевода)
Leap разве не как прыжок переводится? Сила вроде power :₽

Twister,
Мое мнение, игра отличная.

Что про игру скажете? Интересная?

Christmas is almost here. And so is LoF release date. Yikes.

Captain's log, Stardate 45941 or thereabouts

Currently I'm adding the very latest corrections before building the beta test version that will be distributed to the testers a bit later today. This weekend I'll be working on the bonus scene along with correcting what the testers find of hiccups and my 'late night engrish' spellies.

Also, I have to apologize for being late with this months custom's for the Leap of Faith tier. They will most likely be done this weekend.

It's been a very hectic 2 months, but I'm almost there. This night, for once I actually fell asleep without being worried I'd manage the release date, so that must be a good sign.

The in-game screen counter will finally break the 10,000 mark, made up of around 1,500 static renders and the total animation length is advancing up towards 4:30.
Things to remember before playing Leap of Faith v0.4.5 on the 22nd.

Your existing save games:

If your current saves were made in a modded version, they will not work.
If your current saves were made in a compressed version, they most likely will not work.
If you have decompiled the game (by using unren or similar), your current saves might not work.
Versions:

Full version (around 4GB) will be available on Mega, Google Drive and Itch.io. You can install to any location. You old saves will still be available in the game.
Patch/Update version (around 2.5GB) will be available on Mega and Google Drive. You need v0.3.1 or newer to update your game. The update needs to be copied to your existing game folder.


That's it for now. Take care, and I hope to see you all on Tuesday.

"No, you're 'drunkerer'."

The weeks are flying by as I keep pouring those renders out. This week has been a little bit of everything. Animations, scripting, posing, still-renders, and picking out music to fit the mood.

I'm at 1,210 static renders and roughly 5,500 animation frames. I've also added about 2,000 lines of dialogue, scripting, a little mini-game and bought all the christmas presents I had on my list. Oh, and don't worry about that mini-game. You can't fail it - other than your own pride that is. :slight_smile: It's purely cosmetical for in game purposes.

There's still heaps to be rendered, written, and when all that is done it all needs some post-work in photoshop. But I'm on squedule for the 22nd release, and I am really looking forward to getting it out there.

Just a few weeks now, and you'll see who's the 'drunkest-est'. And have a great weekend.

Progress report

It's been another week of mostly posing and rendering, and doing some script work. It felt like the week was over before it started, and the amount of work remaining before I have to push Chapter 4 to the testers is simply put insane (rolls up sleeves), but a fun challenge.

At the moment I'm at 919 static renders, and 3868 animated frames. I have about 600 static renders to do still, and about 1500 animated frames, and countless hours of scripting in the 4 weeks until testing.

About my hardware situation

I still haven't been able to upgrade my GPU, simply because the 3080 or 3090's are not available in my country yet, and I'm looking at mid february at the very earliest.

Seeing the amount of boasting from those who already have bought their 3090, or two, four or eight of them is disheartening to say the least, but the moment it's available I will upgrade my system - and with it be able to push for more in less time.

Custom scene poll

It seems the threesome custom scene was the clear winner in the poll, and I aim to please. Seeing as we already have a threesome situation in this chapter (Kira/Robin), I will do another scene with the winner of the poll (which will not include Kira/Robin, because of their existing scene). Seeing as I want to give you a decent custom scene, I will have to push the threesome scene into Chapter 5, as there simply isn't enough time to do a good scene now before the release of this chapter.

The custom scene threesome vote is available for Tier 4 ($20) and upwards, where you decide who will be in it:

Cece and Linda
Lexi and Holly
Linda and Stephanie

Time for the Friday progress report.

This has been a very busy week. I've scripted about 1000 lines of dialogue/script, along with adjusting the new scenes to past choices.

Render count is at 2112 animated and 425 static renders. That's a whopping 874 renders increase this week (or one every 12 minutes on average).

The Lexi route is done, in addition to some random small scenes with the whole gang, the 'Bunny v2' (with and without Steph), and extended the confessionals (previously known as the start of Truth or Dare).

Next week I'll try to do mainly static renders covering both the Linda route and some other story related scenes. I'll still run animations, because it's hard to pose enough renders to get the batch-rendering going constantly, when I only have a few hours every evening to pose them.

I know I hinted that the second part of Chapter 4 will have a shorter development period than the first. Though, with the prolonged render times for Lexi and me expanding her route a bit, has left me way behind where I'd like to be by now. It doesn't mean I've been slacking, but giving more content where I expected it to be less. In fact, the Lexi route now has a total of 9 different scene locations.

Hopefully concentrating a bit more on the story going forward will make it easier to predict a release date for this part, but for now it's too early to say anything. Sorry about that.

Have a happy Halloween, and to quote Lexi: Trick or Treat?

Калашников,
Прямо заинтриговал, пришлось переиграть. Действительно у трапа мелодии пропадают. Но дальше по ходу сюжета, когда сидишь в кресле и Гг думает: (или мне и правда стоить поспать), заходишь в телефон в раздел "музыка", нажимаешь на вкладку "подключить внешние динамики" и выбираешь песню, они снова доступны

Dev Diary, 16th of October, 2020
It's been another week with me pouring out renders. Unfortunately Lexi takes about 40% more time to render than any other character in the story, so it's a slow and steady progress. I don't notice it much when it's 50 or 100 story renders. But when we're talking 1000+ animation frames it adds up, when each render takes 10 minutes longer.

Currently I'm at 741 animated renders and 219 static ones. About 2/3rd of the Lexi route is finished, and I've shifted my attention to the Sneak Peek scene - which I hope you'll get a kick out of. :slight_smile: Hopefully I'll have it finished by next Friday.

Have a good weekend all. And as this week has shown us; enjoy it while you have it.

Русская пк версия виснет после запроса билетов у криса (первая глава)

В связи с последним постом разработчика, перевод будет после окончания четвёртой главы. Так как автор будет исправлять. расширять код и диалоги, у меня нет желания править его каждый раз и переписывать каждый раз кучу текста. Надеюсь, на понимание!
С Уважением, admin!
PS. Но перевод не будет заброшен.

Chapter 4 and it's three part split.
After having finished Chapter 3 and looking more closely at the followup, I realized that there were a whole lot of work and rendering hours needed for Chapter 4.

And because of the amount of work that would go into every girl - having the choice to romance them at roughly at the same time in the story - it would be hard to give a decent story feel to an update if I went by the normal day-by-day update, and therefor decided to go by a girl-by-girl update instead.

The most natural question as a reader I would imagine is: 'Should I play it now, or wait until all the parts are done?'

I have put a lot of work into making this chapter evolve as the different parts are released. That means part two and three will even add to existing scenes and dialogues will be expanded and tweaked. For this part I have intentionally held back parts of the story itself to give you added bits and pieces if you come back and read for the two last parts.

The 'sudden jump' to the end of this update leave a huge spot for me to fill, and the intro scenes to the final romancing with both Cece and Stephanie isn't just made to create a certain feel, they are meant to have an element of uncertainty - ie, that things are not 100% sure to turn out well - even though in this update they are pretty much smooth sailing.

So, if you are still on the fence on whether to play through this update or not, it's really up to you.

But for me, holding back an update for 5 months would be near dev suicide. But more importantly, causing you to loose touch with the main characters in the story - almost forgetting who they are - was not something I wanted to do.

Dev Diary, 9th of October, 2020
Happy friday, once again.

I hope you all have had a chance to play through the first part of Chapter 4, and that you enjoyed it.

The first week after an update will always have a very unflattering render count, but basically I've just been posing stills and animations, and let my computer pour them out. So, currently we're at 115 static renders and 260 animated ones. That's roughly 1/3 of the Lexi path done, and I'm very happy about the progress being made.

For next week, my main focus will be rendering animations. Normally I render animations at night and stills during the day, but if I were to do so on the animation that is currently rendering, it will take 2,5 weeks to finish - which is way too long.

On a positive note, that gives me free hands to work on dialogue and scripting, as it's the only thing I can do simultaneously to rendering on my dusty old dinosaur. :)

That about covers it for this week, and if you are a $5 or above patreon, feel free to check out my second post for a Lexi-path preview and some of my own thoughts about Chapter 4 and why I chose to release it the way I did.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Depo, не помогает совет. Мелодии скачиваются в телефон, но сохраняются там только до того момента, как опускается трап самолета. Как только трап опустился и Лекси приветствует тебя - раздел "музыка" в смартфоне становится девственно чистым и все скачанные мелодии из него исчезают. В чем может быть дело???

Depo,
Спасибо братик, ты спас меня

Не думаю что автора хватит на такие интрижки... Даже само повествование объяснения было из разряда "ну ладно". Агент который бухает на задании. потом сваливает с него что бы чпокнуться с бывшим, ну такое. Притом кстати автор накосячил - она же сама просила его Чарльза (или как там друга гг зовут) о встрече с ГГ.

Richard666,как мне кажется,несмотря на объяснения Стеф о причинах ухода,она не честна с ГГ и сейчас.

admin,
спасибо

Lorna Shore,
Жду пару дней исправление в программе переводчика++. И сразу возьмусь, одновременно с Мечтателями (CBD). В последнем, перевод уже перенесён от предыдущего переводчика. Сроков не буду давать, как переведу, так и будет.

Когда примерно ждать перевод? Интересно что там за случай с бывшей

Ну... Играть пока только за "спойлерами". Сейвы работать не будет, всего пара веток открыта. Но да, обьяснили причины Стеф.
В целом игра получится очень реиграбельной.

Игра со смыслом,не просто потрахушки. Одни из самых ожидаемых обновлений для меня,так-же как и дом на полпути,WVM,Хиллсайд и некоторые другие
