Ren'Py A Home in the Desert [v0.4.5] [Misarmor]

[Misarmor]

Personal Opinion

Pros:

• Amazing Models all babes are hot af.
• Futa MC, very rare in VNs
• Loved the "Motion Sensor" to know where everyone is, saved a lot of time.

Cons:

• Too Grindy, seriously, cut it down
• Next to no sex
• days are repetitive, need filler events to spice things up.
• Story feels slow and linear

Potential Additions:

• Can go wild with kinks and taboos, use the basement, tie your slut milf, breed and milk her ass...ETC
• Side quests that unlock new scenarios or characters

Sorry, but this is partly why I can't take the "grind" criticisms seriously. Currently, if you work for a full day on Alice's laptop (graphic design job), even of the first level, you get a few hundred dollars, lol. I increased the income greatly in 0.4.1 to make up for the current lack of fun ways to make money. That's not groceries money for a day, but rather, for a few months .
I'm not going to argue with the lack of sexy events throughout the day, that's a work in progress, but the money grind?
If you could explain to me why you felt the need to work and buy groceries every day, that would be awesome. Thank you

Reading further into the review, I should tell you that the sisters don't actually have sex yet. It's a dream MC has after they tease her in the living room.

Regarding your "potential additions" section, I already teased the fact that some quests will now unlock new scheduled events, or branchings within those.

It's a work in progress. Dev said it from the beginning - it's not a VN where you just hold CTRL and skip to sex stuff. It's more of a "Work for the reward" type of game, don't you agree? I think this is a solid foundation, I like the build up - even with movies, if you cannot connect to characters someway, you just get annoyed and skip to sex stuff.

I have a feeling the dev will be rolling out the sultry stuff soon.

First of all, thanks for taking the time to address my feedback and review, most devs dont do that or just irrationally disregard the feedback, it’s good to know you’re actively working on balancing things because I love the setting and the potential of your work.

The grind wasn't necessarily about the money, but felt like a monotonous process with no reward in the form of interesting gameplay or sexual events, which is why I was critical of it rather than the money per se.
The 3 levels just make the player wanting to work more hours and spend less time interacting with the girls. My first impulse was to binge through the work tasks so that I can get more reputation, to then work more, to get more money.
Since I am aware that these events are still in the early stages of development, I look forward to seeing how they develop in further updates.

Reading further into the review, I should tell you that the sisters don't actually have sex yet. It's a dream MC has after they tease her in the living room.

I kept that in mind when I say there is lack of actual progression in that department, I don't like to compare games and their feature with one another, but most games which have the "Boner Meter" use normal daily interactions to build up the cum stress, and in this case where the MC is Futa the bar should literally raise.
Ultimately I am just saying the sexual encounters are less that presumed for the setting of the game, but I respect that you don't wanna discuss about the lack of scenes as it takes the most time.

Regarding your "potential additions" section, I already teased the fact that some quests will now unlock new scheduled events, or branchings within those.

That's great to hear

Sure, I get that it’s a “work for the reward” type of game, and I’m all for meaningful build-up.
But there’s a fine line between engaging progression and dragging it for little to no reward.
All I wanted to point out that there has to be a balance, and it's better when the scales are on the reward side than the grind side.

I’m hopeful that as the dev continues to expand on the content, we’ll see more of those sultry moments that really bring everything together. I really wanna see the kinks explored more, I wont mind Riley turned into a complete OF whore and getting DP'd by MC and Eve's Futa monsters.

Progress on the other quests, it will happen eventually, or after few days are passed and you have enough money.

you need to understand that you are the dev so you know the mechanics and the min-maxing of your game because you coded it. Your game is clearly not user friendly, as you can notice due to the recurrent feedback. Until you don't understand and fix it, that kind of reviews will keep coming.

By "that kind of reviews" you mean retarded ones, like yours? Ones that makes retarded assumptions up about "redoing the entire game" somehow in a single update, and "adding more grind" which wasn't true and could have been known by reading the changelog alone? That kind of reviews?
The one who needs to understand anything is you, my friend, and that's how to not to be like all the other trolls on this forum. Learn how to write proper, detailed, and FAIR feedback, like the gentlemen above, and not retarded karen slop. Because those guys are the ones I listen to, no the ones who press 1 star, write a few retarded lines from the usual karen book, and leave.

Thank you.

So, Misarmor, what is the roadmap moving forward? I really like the premise of your game and the characters are all pretty cool...but where are we going? Can you at least summarise, generally, what we can expect in the coming year?

I don't do roadmaps, simply because there are too many "urgent" things to work on the game right now.
0.5 will come in relatively soon, and I'll talk about my plans for 0.6 in the release post.

I'm not against doing roadmaps once things calm down, of course.

 

[Abaddon Doom]

Fair enough...hope it works out for you!

 

[Birdnman993]

I've said it before, this title has all the ingredients to be one of the best games with a Futa protagonist out there. All that's missing is, you know, the plot and the sexy moments.

That said, I wonder why they set the family in the desert. They isolate them so the protagonist can corrupt them, but it closes off a lot of things. We're supposed to push the family to do whatever it takes to make money, like prostitution. But how do you do that in the middle of the desert? It was also said there would be public sex, but it's no fun if you're in the middle of nowhere.

 

[SERAFIM1986]

Unfortunately I dont understand Russian my friend.

The brown-red zone shows where yes events happen.. She shows me the basement, and I go down there, but I can't do anything.. why is that? What are they doing?

Its a glitch, happens in basement and backyard.
To find the girl, check her routine in the menu.
