Upload Achievement Guide
Update 2023-05-15
To explain why this happened, up until Ren'py version 7.3.5, there was no built-in API to integrate with Steam. I had to import this API externally, and when I upgraded to 7.4.1 for 'Time To Live' development, I uninstalled the old development tools that included the Steam API. However, VOICE is optimized for 7.3.5, so I needed 7.3.5 to modify it again, but I forgot that I needed to get the Steam API separately and just made a distribution with the new 7.3.5 and uploaded it to Steam, so Steam Achievements didn't work.
I did a small patch on April 1, but I think that's when it happened.
Thanks to 'Joon' for reporting this.
April 1: VOICE go handheld game!
I grew up playing PC games since childhood. The last console I owned was an NES until I was 11 years old. I'm a PC gamer to the bone, and the games I made were made on PC, and I didn't think about porting or compatibility to other devices, because that's still the only way I know how to play games.
However, in the current era, not only home consoles but also various gaming devices such as mobile and portable devices have been released, especially the growth of portable gaming devices is remarkable. Also there are things like Steam Decks that allow you to play PC games on a portable device. I started to wonder if my think was wrong. In the end, the obvious conclusion was that I should follow the trend of the times.
So, I decided to release VOICE, a game I had already released, on portable gaming devices. But there was a problem: I had to do it alone. Porting is never an easy task, and I hadn't envisioned VOICE as a portable game, so the task was daunting.
Then I remembered: I'm the kind of person who makes games with anachronistic concepts anyway, and many of my favorite old games had different arcade, home, and PC versions, so it's only right that I go with an anachronistic concept. So, for April Fool's Day, I'm going to show you VOICE ported to portable devices.
This is a type of game machine that was once made by a company called TIGER ELECTRONICS and other game companies. Did you ever play this game as a child? I have fond memories of playing the Power Rangers game machine until I was about 6 years old.
The object of the game is for Bella to walk down the street and beat up all the DCPCs who come at her with batons. You can punch and kick forward and backward, and if you get hit with a baton, your life will be reduced and you will eventually fall down. You can recover by eating coffee that falls to the ground.
The game is currently in development and is scheduled for release on April 1, 1972.
Q: Why? Just... WHY?
A: Because I love it. As I wrote above, I'm from the generation that had fun playing Tiger games as a kid. I know some people think it's a shit game because of the influence of a certain game reviewer, but believe it or not, it was a lot of fun at the time, and I want you to experience that fun too.
Q: Isn't there a scene like this in the original?
A: Of course, Bella isn't like this in the original, but that's what games were like back then, and as I mentioned above, there were a lot of games that had different content between arcade, home, and PC versions. A good example of this is the PC version of the Mega Man series, so this is by design.
Q: What about the other handhelds?
A: I'm sorry, but I don't know about other handhelds because I haven't done any. I only want to make what I've done.
Q: Will there be any H-scenes?
A:

Update 2023-04-01
It's already been two years since VOICE released
A lot has happened in 2 years and I have received a lot of feedback. I decided to look back on the past year. Is there anything I might have missed? Have I made any mistakes? Then I realized one thing.
The main storyline of VOICE is, of course, the story of overthrowing order and dictatorship built on unjust laws, but there is also a love story between the protagonist and the heroine, Bella. The protagonist who was an ordinary citizen of Dome City who lived without any doubt, meets Bella and becomes a speaker, and in the process, the two of them get to know each other. It's a very typical pure love plot. The part I overlooked was this. There are countless pervertstastes in the world. In other words, I couldn't figure out the possibility that someone might not like pure love plot. Maybe it's because I'm a narrow-minded person. Now I am deeply reflecting.
So, for the second year since its release, VOICE has prepared a new story to satisfy the tastes of new players. This is VOICE - NTR Edition.
NTR (Netorare) is a genre that is rapidly becoming popular recently. In line with the times, we also decided to release the VOICE NTR edition at the end of the meeting. Below are the new patch notes for the NTR edition.
A new character is added
A new speaker comrade, he has burly tanned skin, tight muscles, and dyed golden hair. With excellent stamina, wealth, and conversational skills and sense of humor, he can captivate any woman. Even the speaker branch master.
See stories from different perspectives
Originally, events that the protagonist had with Bella, and various scenes that were seen from the protagonist 's point of view in the main story, can now be seen from a third person's point of view. In particular, you can experience the rare experience of watching H-scenes from a third-person perspective, so I think it will be suitable for those who like NTR.
A new ending is added
Originally, there are two endings: the one with Bella looking at the city in the rain, and the other with Linden confessing to Bella. A new ending is added here in the NTR edition. Please refer to the screenshot for details.
He can steal Lena's heart
It's no fun when it's just Bella. Lena is also subject to NTR, and Lena will be obsessed with him, forgetting both you and Kenneth. The ending of escaping Dome City also leaves you alone and escape with him. You will remain in Dome City and feel defeated and alone.
Linden, too.
She is also no exception. Unfortunately, Linden will completely forget about her dear sister Bella and be corrupted by the same process as hentai manga. Let's take a moment of silence for her. (starts 3 seconds from now)
The Great Leader, too??
Oh, geez.
Please enjoy VOICE - NTR Edition
However, because it requires cumbersome work with sudden scenario modifications and story additions, The full version of the VOICE - NTR Edition is scheduled to be released after 1972 years later.
◆NOT A LIE FROM HERE◆
Here's some screenshot of my new work in progress.
English version update
A year has passed since VOICE was released. Finally, the English version has been updated. It is installed through automatic update without separate installation, and the language setting is available in the config menu.
The English translation was done by LYUN.
Please enjoy the game.
Thank you.
* When the first game starts, the language of the current OS is detected, and if it is not Korean, the game is automatically set to English.
