VN Ren'Py A Couple's Duet of Love & Lust [v0.13.4] [King B]

[OWSam000]

The dialogue isn't incomplete, its the way it is, I mean after this dialogue some of the job options available relevant to the path must be shown as choices.

Then it must have the fourth option instead of Darrel,Jenna and Peter in future update.

I think this game is dying, since a while there was no content for the most interesting route and now it's just some filling without any interest.
JUst a very short update about annoying stuff

I wouldn't say that, but the updates were very short indeed. And I can't even tell what's "interesting route" anymore because the biggest problem I see with the game is dev isn't doing anything to dumb down the branches of routes.
Holy shit this game have like 5 or 6 major routes? But those shit branches into like 20 different routes. I still have save files from early branches but I stopped playing those anymore and only focus on a few.
The cheating ones where Nat hates Ethan and there's 2 branches for that, the one where Nat gets angry with Darrel and goes back to Ethan and it had to go down to 2 different path forgiving and unforgiving again.
The amount of Darrel cucking branches... If Ethan isn't a complete sub during the cuck scenes Darrel won't appear to comfort Nat in this update.
The orgy party had different routes too, and even the college party had to split into 2 branches end with Carl/Matt.
Peter? Who the fuck is that . Jokes a side I know some people really love the old bastard but his path is the only 1 I don't give a fuck about and seeing how everyone complaining about lack of his content, I don't think there is even a slight branch from him LOL.
Although at this point finally dev decided to converged every single major paths and side branches into the single choice who Nat choose to work with (Jen/Peter/Darrel). But then, it's the beginning of another major splitting of routes which we can only hope do not branch into 20 different routes again.

whats new ? cannot find anything new lol

Yeah it's fine to have a few inconsistencies. The author has already made a good job of creating a game that actually feels like your choices matter and have different consequences. Most games in this site are so one dimensional. The "options" you have in those are really just 'do you want to see sex scene or just skip' and the plot continues with little changes. Others have predetermined few number of branches that don't interact well and your choices don't really impact them, only your initial choices that would point to those rigid branches matter, future choices are just flavor that don't add to the 'action-consequence' aspect of the game narrative. This game is one of the few ones where your choices interact with one another and there could be different consequences from different combinations of actions. Not to mention this game has more depth than most others. I just find it odd that this inconsistent path is so early in the game but nobody seemed to notice it. But I can see that all the branching is going to be a headache for the author in the future as the game develops and more branching occurs. The other games that have this much depth and choice interactivity also face the same problem. It's like a blessing with a caveat. It's a blessing that a game is able to achieve giving players with many choices that really have an impact in the narrative but if you want to see a certain path develop further, you're going to wait for a long time because other paths have to develop too. This can be seen in the vanilla and Peter content. So many people here nag about having more Peter. But I personally want to see other characters more than this old man (in fact I see it as a win if an update focuses on other characters and not on Peter. Don't put me in a stake for saying this). It's also a little sad that the vanilla path isn't developed too well and doesn't have unique scenes. I guess people just aren't that excited on the vanilla path so it just keeps getting shoved.
As a side note, I actually like this update. Having more Matt and Carl content is a big plus. It's not cocks and dicks all the time and this actually sets up and spices future Matt and Carl content.

Oof that was such a lazy way to resolve things. Now Nat cannot stop Darrel from making her cum in the gym. Nat also cannot respect Ethan's wishes even if I try to maximize love points and minimize lust points in this route, forcing Ethan to be fully into cuckoldry even though this is Nat's path or insistence and not Ethan's. This just gives Ethan less autonomy and less agency for the player. Even if this resolves the dialogue inconsistencies, it still doesn't make sense from a narrative view. If Nat pushes Ethan into cuckoldry, Ethan is now set into stone to be on that path, even though he should by all means have less cuck points and isn't as into it as Nat in comparison to if Ethan was that one who pushed Nat into cuckoldry.

as i say , more routes ...little game

Now instead of losing my time playing these shitty updates, I just come here and read comments.

 

[Darius McMillian]

I can see why people would be frustrated at the slow small updates. But isn't the dev originally a comic maker. I wouldn't be surprised and I'd understand if they put more work time into that than the game. I would just be patient before yall drive the dev to cancel the game.

 

[Big Rooster]

All the Peter pumpers need to honestly answer the question how many drinks would you need to fuck him. Are there enough drinks in the world for you to let his wrinkled, cheesy, ben gay-smelling dick into your mouth or up your ass? If not, just chill. I'm sure Nat will get around to it when all other options have been exhausted.

If Peter wasn't creepy old troll that path would be less nausea inducing. I for one would like to see Nat warming up to a older guy that has class and the sophistication to seduce them. As I said before, the Stag, Vixen & Bull is my ideal, whether it's Darrell, Matt, or another (preferably a good looking, mature) alpha type) guy. As previously mentioned while Darrell is Nat's favorite f-buddy the possibility of a LTR is not going to work unless "D" changes his favorite pastime and devotes himself to Nat, IMHO. He's a playboy, women are only willing playthings to him.

Does anyone have updated short guide or walk through?

Here we go...

 

[Leongen43]

Peter, if we are cinceros, it's not interesting, maybe that's why there isn't as much content. If king b did a review, he might replace him with Ethan's boss, who may be a corrupt millionaire who wants to seduce Nat and invites the couple to join him. her social circle to be closer to Nat while distracting Ethan with other women

man.. this was one of the saddest and fastest downfalls for a game with great initial apraise i've seen...

just sad....
The game has created soomany shitty different paths that its just dragging and annoying now.. to get a new scene you have to play the entire shit again and make one very especific decision to get a shitty amount of content.. its like 4 updates already that none of my saves get ANY new scene.

People in general love when they have a lot of choices but the consequences are quickly coming and mostly in a bad way.
Too many branches, too many options and the dev cannot deliver enough content to satisfiy the players.
I've seen this scenario so many times, i think that giving choices has to be done in a way that doesn't force the dev to make 10 different games or it will fail.
This is the mistake that many new dev make, they think giving choices is great but in fact no!
I remember a game where the dev right at the start gave the player the choices to dress the female mc with 3 different clothes and 2 or 3 different haircuts. My god that's the best way to get yourself in deep shit!!

I agree with you 100% i have so many save points and always need to search for another branch cause my old once aren't continued , thx for you info i will skip this update too

That's the problem, because how specified the scenes and variable led from one to another. Without a proper changelog we had to navigate through that massive walkthrough diagram to find the new content, either that or test the old saves 1 by 1 LMAO.

 

[LexPro]

any changelog?

 

[Kingg99]

Anybody save plzz

 

[Swooosh]

Yeah, really a trash update.. Nothing new, i think this game is going to die..

 

[Big Rooster]

One question for the haters: do you want to wait a year+ between substantial updates like many dev's. do, or wait to see your personal favorite route wasn't moved forward this time and cry like children that your toy came in the wrong package?

 

[King Wan]

Well that was disappointing. From happy cucky sharing swinging couple to dark alleys all in one update. Darrell = QoS aka cumbucket. Jenna = Porn aka hooker central. Peter = Blackmail aka coercion/rape. I don’t mind the kinks but hate the descent to hell. Had to play from the start and noticed how lines were being repeated over and over which unfortunately shows the writer’s limitations. For all its faults TAC never turned dark and the writing was generally very crisp. Lawyers CANNOT be BLACKLISTED from the INDUSTRY. They can only be DEBARRED or DISQUALIFIED from the PROFESSION. The whole job loss storyline does not stand scrutiny. Do your homework KingB.
