VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.201] [Lust & Passion]

[Talcum Powder]

I never said Ellie wasn't a goddess, but a little more humility wouldn't hurt. As the great philosopher Tyson so aptly put it:

I think Dylan is the one to bring her down to earth, is best suited to administer that figurative "punch in the mouth"

Hmm, I'm not seeing that at all. Maybe this is going back several years so forgive me and my fading memory, but does Dylan seem like he thinks his sister needs to be "punched in the mouth", as you say? Pissed about the blue pill prank, yes, maybe jealous of her achievements, annoyed by her teasing, but doing something substantial enough/mean enough to cut her down?

How do you envision Dylan bringing Ellie down to earth? We expect there's no more blackmail being introduced so it's most likely not to do with any sort of threat of exposing her (whether her activities with Julia, Logan or even Sophia). Doing something as outrageous as she did to him with the blue pill prank or somehow sabotaging her school, dance, cheerleading, or her pursuit of either Julia or Logan (or even Sophia)? Any of those would just make Dylan an even less likable character, right?

Well it makes sense that he would slow down. As he moves into the Sam event it's going to require entirely new locations and art. The Natalie event had the advantage of using preexisting locations and art, so it could be done "quickly". Nothing else matters in terms of this update's development speed until we know more about the Sam event. That event absolutely has the potential to drag this update out until 2022.

Catch Ellie and Christine with some sex toys and that's enough. At least the "perv brother" part goes away.

One can only hope. The Jogging scene was a nice turnaround from the perversion. Hopefully, It will continue.

Hmm, maybe it is possible for us to get 2 more updates this year? Or is that a reach?

Ok, I get that Dylan COULD do something to knock her down a peg, but if he did do that wouldn't that make him more unlikeable? In other words, in a narrative sense, how does this help the story move along or serve his or Ellie's character development? They are both competitive, engage in fairly typical brother and sister spats and teasing and (surprisingly, almost unbelievably, for such good looking teenagers) sexually inexperienced, but we already know that.

If Dylan takes a swing at her what are we learning besides that Dylan is a spiteful and/or jealous prick? If that punch lands, what does that do to Ellie? break her? push her further into her mother's comforting embrace? or Julia's arms? or cause her to escalate (revenge)? Seems like the middle two are happening already without agitation from Dylan so while it could add another dimension it doesn't change the fact of the matter. The first and fourth, while fun and possibly interesting, are very big distractions from what we really want to see.

Jogging and subsequent massage in the park was a nice turn for Dylan the character and his progression with Sophia, totally agree. I think something spiteful or vengeful towards Ellie pushes him back towards immature and insecure, though.

I believe it's possible. If 150 is done by October 1rst. He could do another by end of year. If not too big

No, I don't think so either , that Dylan will blackmail her in any way. Then Dylan would be also for me unsympathetic!
I think it will now in the coming update or at the latest at the next event recognizable, as the two come closer. Here it must be decided whether Dylan's story continues with Ellie or Sophia. There will not be a harem for Dylan.

I think the best revenge Dylan could get over Ellie would be to lose his V-card before she does, Seems like the sort of thing that would really piss her off plus it wouldn't be something he's actually doing to her so no chance of being seen as petty. Although i can't see it happening before Logan get's his hooks in or Julia gets her way, It's possible on the bording school route but he wouldn't be able to brag about it without ruining Ambers marriage plus no Ellie/Dylan events on that route.

Yeah, the Sam event does have boondoggle written all over it. We must also consider that my calculator is based on a very crude assumption that the "85% of the update is Scene Creation and Rendering" is accurate - that leaves at most 10 - 11% for P&T. That took about 22 days for v0.150, so at 11% P&T, that's a total of 200 days for development, which didn't happen. So it seems like P&T is pushing more like 15% on its own.

If I had to adjust anything in the calculator I'd push Created Scenes up to 60%, Rendering down to 20%, PS to 5% and P&T to 15%. But I only started paying really close attention with the last update so I don't know if those hold true overall.

With the occasional Threesome and things like "Wife Swaps and Gang Bangs," L&P has said that there will be no Harem in the novel period. It would have been nice to see something like Sophia/Dylan/Ellie and maybe Patricia as a foursome, but that's going to be wishful thinking now.

Again, this is in the universe of the possible, but does L&P's writing or his characters suggest that Dylan would brag to his sister about losing his virginity before her? I was a teenager who lost his virginity and thought that was pretty awesome, and it made me feel more confident but it didn't lower anyone else in my estimation, so I don't see how that fits (I am not claiming to be a representative sample of anything, btw).

Brag may have been the wrong word to use, if he has sex with Amber he has to keep that secret from everybody Ambers going to be pretty insistent on that but if he gets together with Marie people would eventually figure it out without him saying anything. Also I wasn't suggeting he was going to go up to Ellie and just say it right to her face plus he doesn't know she's a virgin pretty sure he thinks she's a bit of a slut.

Dylan has taken the wind out of his sister's sails once before. When she asked him if he could fix her laptop. That tactic worked. No matter what the girls hide behind their backs, no matter how arrogant his sister puts him down again, his only chance is to stay cool or amiable and in this case to impress Christine, for example. (And that can't happen if he tries to show off with Amber.) Only when Elli realizes that she has to be ashamed of her brother, for example, can she start to tolerate his looks. And can there be any further progress in the Elli / Dylan relationship (sexual or non-sexual).
I don't see a harem mother / daughter / son either, for Dylan it has always been either - or - decisions.
That means either Elli or Sophia.
There won't be an Elli / Dylan relationship in my game simply because, in my opinion, it doesn't match Elli's personality. Also, if L&P really tells a sexual Dylan / Elli router this is actually added to me afterwards.

I don't believe that there will be a Dylan/Ellie sexual relationship in the game and it has nothing to do with my opinion of Dylan.

 

[nexer]

I don't think Dylan will seek revenge. He's proven to be a forgiving brother with the ransomeware scene. I'd say he's a perfect gentleman.
But catching Ellie with something compromising would change her behavior.

I envision Dylan changing Ellie's attitude towards him by Dylan taking care of Logan.
This will impress Ellie/Sophia/Christine and many more females.
