Hello there, this is the first release of Hemsworth Manor. I spent around 20 percent of the time I used to work on this learning how to navigate both renpy and Koikatsu which is why it's so short. The other 80 percent was mostly spent making renders on my extremely slow laptop.
This release mostly follows the renameable MC as he is kicked out of his family home, a short summary of what happens to him after and then a time skip to when he gets invited to the property he will be managing.
After that, a few of the characters are introduced and depending on your choices, you might get some bedtime action.
There are only two H scenes in this release and one of them can be missed depending on your choices.
Some of the choices available will either lock out all the smaller characters or will lock a specific characters route. Two characters route's are currently interconnected so if you miss one, you'll also miss the other.
Right now the choices aren't too complicated so you will probably be able to tell what each one would do.
Alright, that's it for the game devlog, I could talk about the rendering process but that would be to depressing so I'll be skipping that. But I must say that learning renpy was surprisingly fun and not as complicated as I thought it would be.
Lastly, I have to apologize for the large file size, most of the still renders were 1-2 mb PNG images and I did not think that it would all add up to so much. I'll start using a different imagine type for the next update to hopefully keep the total size under control
Alright, I think that's everything, thank you for through reading this and hopefully checking out my VN, it means a lot to me. Hopefully I'll see you in the next release.
