Info about Monthly Wallpapers and Short Scenes!

Dear Patrons,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some news regarding our monthly wallpapers. This month, instead of a traditional wallpaper, I've decided to include a short scene as part of the offering. It's a special treat to add a little extra immersion and enjoyment for all of you.

Moving forward, I've decided to alternate between these short scenes and the standard wallpapers for our monthly releases. I believe it will bring more variety and creative opportunities to showcase different aspects of the game.

I'd also like to invite all of you to contribute your ideas for these short scenes. However, I encourage you to think outside the confines of the game's storyline. Let your imaginations run wild! Whether it's scenes from fantasy, sci-fi, or any other genre, I'm open to exploring diverse and captivating concepts.

If you have any suggestions or concepts that you'd like to see come to life in these mini-scenes, please feel free to share them with me through private messages or in the comments. Your input is valuable, and I'd love to incorporate your ideas into future releases.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy this new addition to our monthly wallpapers. 

Best regards,

Groover

ViBC 0.5 work report: sample

Dear Patrons,

I'm excited to share with you a sneak peek from the upcoming game update that I'm currently working on. In this post, I'll be presenting the first sample image, giving you a glimpse of what's to come.

The plan for this upcoming update is ambitious, and I'm determined to bring it to fruition without any significant delays. While I haven't had as much time as I would have liked recently, I assure you that I'm still dedicated to working on the game and improving its quality.

Your continued support and patience are greatly appreciated as I strive to deliver the best possible gaming experience. I'll keep you updated on the progress, and I'm eager to share more exciting developments with you soon.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Best regards,

ViBC 0.45 - public version

Hello everyone,

The public version of the game is now available for download. Thank you all for your support and feedback during the development process.

I also want to let you know that a serious bug that was discovered in the "b" version of the game has been fixed. This bug caused the game to end prematurely in the scene at the Stevens' house. If anyone encounters any issues with the game, please report them on the special channel on our Discord server. https://discord.gg/dvfdczZAHj

In addition to the major bug, several minor issues were reported on Discord and have been addressed in this version. Here thanks to #Calamity Joe for finding these errors. Your feedback and bug reports are incredibly valuable in helping me improve the game.

Thank you again for your continued support, and I hope you enjoed the latest version of the game.

Best regards,

Groover

Victoria in Big City - 0.45 !!!

Dear Patrons,

I'm excited to announce that the latest update for our game, version 0.45, is now complete and ready to be presented to our patrons. Unfortunately, the development process took longer than I had originally anticipated, but I believe the wait was worth it.

In terms of the story, version 0.45 has multiple paths, with a focus on David's storyline. This update serves as a bridge between the previous version and the upcoming one, which will feature even more special content.

I want to give a special shoutout to Dwayne for his fantastic dialogue writing skills and Kasi for translating the game into German. Without their contributions, this update wouldn't have been possible.

It's worth noting that the game now comes in two versions. The first is the standard version, which features all animations in high-quality, but it requires a better quality computer to run smoothly. The second version, "b," has some animations executed differently to allow for smoother gameplay on lower-spec machines. Unfortunately, I have not yet found the perfect solution to balance quality and performance across all devices.

I'm thrilled to share this new update with you, and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Your support has been invaluable in making this game possible, and I can't thank you enough for your continued encouragement.

Best regards,

Groover

Just a quick note: the wallpapers for this month will be published after the update is released. I would like to finish update as soon as possible. I hope you understand. And while you wait, here are some AI-generated images.

ViBC 0.45 work report: sample and something extra

Dear Patrons,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out and let you know that this will be the last post before the upcoming game update. We're working hard to get everything ready and expect the update to be released in the coming weeks. However, the exact release date is still dependent on the final stages of testing and how many adjustments we need to make. Additionally, I still have one and half more scene left to complete in the game. I'll be sure to keep you updated as we get closer to the release date, and I can't wait for you to try out the new update.

As I continue to work on the game, I wanted to take a moment to share with you a side project I've been working on in my free time. I've been teaching myself how to use AI to create images, and I'm excited about the potential it could have in the future development of the game.

Admittedly, it was a slow start, and progress was initially limited. However, after persevering and investing more time and effort, I've finally started to achieve some interesting results. I wanted to share some of them with you in this post.

I also want to mention that the images I'll be sharing are the result of both AI technology and some minor post-production editing by me. It's important to note that while AI can create incredible things, it still requires a human touch to bring out its full potential.

While my focus remains on the game, exploring new technologies and techniques can help us continue to innovate and improve. I'm excited about the possibilities that AI could bring to our game development process, and I'm looking forward to exploring them further in the future.

Additionally, I wanted to let you know that I'll be sharing some of the AI-generated works on this and other platforms from time to time. I hope you find them as fascinating as I have.

Thank you again for your support, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.

Best regards,

ViBC 0.45 work report: sample

Dear Patrons,

Today, I want to share with you a sneak peek of the upcoming update for the game I've been working on. I've created a new character that will be introduced in the game.

The image I'm sharing with you today features the new character, but I won't reveal too much about who she is just yet. You'll have to play the game to discover her backstory and what role she play in the overall narrative.

The new character will be introduced in this upcoming update, their role will only be briefly touched upon. More scenes featuring this character will be added in future updates, and I'm excited for you to see how their storyline unfolds.

Also, I want to update you on the progress of the game's new update. Unfortunately, it's taking longer than expected, and I'm frustrated about it. I understand that you are eagerly waiting for the new content, and I apologize for the delay.

I want to assure you that I'm doing everything I can to get this update out to you as soon as possible, and I appreciate your patience and support during this time.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Groover

Hello dear Patrons!

Thank you for participating in the poll. The dress you chose will of course be in the next update. In the picture you have a sample from the scene. I hope you will like it. 

Thanks for your support 

Take care

Pick a dress

Hi,

thanks for your participation in the previous poll the winners are as follows:

The Winner - BEN!

Second place: KELLY

Third place: KATY 

Your vote is very important to me, and it will certainly be reflected in the game and further life of Victoria. Something like that poll will also appear on Discord. But of course your opinion is the most important. 

Today a very simple poll just indicate in which of Victoria's dresses you like more. 

ViBC 0.45 work report: sample of animation

Hello,

Today I have a slightly different sample for you than always. This is an animation from the new update. I'm constantly trying to improve this aspect of the game. It is a challenging part of the game. Unfortunately, the shortcomings mostly come out only as in this case after the animation is edited. There is still more to work on, but I hope you will like it. 

Thanks for your support.

Take care.

Who is your favorite character?

Hello dear Patrons!

I have a little poll for you today.

Please indicate your favorite character, other than Victoria of course.

If you have any other type than the people in the poll please write in the comments. 

Happy New Year 2023!!!

Thank you all for this year, for the support received this year. I wish you all the best.

Happy New Year!!!

Sample from the next update

Hi,

Today, still in the old year, I would like to give you a short info and a sample from the next update. First of all, thank you to everyone who participated in the poll. In the future, I think I'll want to use your opinions more often in this way. 

As for the update itself, we will continue the threads already started, and there will also be new ones and new characters. At the very beginning Victoria will have a serious problem to think about. She will have some more dilemmas. Depending on the path chosen, the relationships Victoria has entered will continue, but there will also be new opportunities. I don't know yet at this stage how much content will be able to fit into this update, and how much will go into the next one. That will become clear in the future. Probably most of you would like to know when the update will be released, but as I always say I don't want to promise anything because it depends on many factors. But I encourage you to follow me here and I invite you to Discord so you don't miss any information. 

Best regards.

Poll

Hello everyone, 

As I mentioned in a previous post, I would like to ask for your opinion on which version of the game you prefer. Although I hope I can find a better solution and manage to solve the problem of smoothness of performance without losing quality. Nevertheless, I'm curious about your opinion. 

Thank you in advance for participating in the poll. 

Victoria in Big City 0.4b

Hello,

Following news that some of you are experiencing the game crashing during some animations, I have made a change that should improve the smoothness of the game. The animations are edited in a separate program so that they are now in one video file, rather than each frame separately as before. Unfortunately, not everything is perfect because the renpy distorts the colors of the animations a bit even though the source file is fine.  I'll do a poll in a few days and I'm hoping for your opinion on which version you prefer and which one we'll stick with in the future. 

This version also includes a translation of the new scenes into German. As before, thanks to #Kasi for the translation. 

Best regards
