Ren'Py A House in the Rift [v0.7.11 Beta] [Zanith]

[kenny]

Are people seriously upset that this game is not progressing the story? Are you seriously chomping at the bit to see the pay off and conclusion to the thrilling narrative of "You get teleported to a house in the empty space where girls are DTF cause there is nothing else to do". I think this dev has found a nice balance of having some narrative surrounding what is going on without smelling their own farts that a lot of other games of this style do. There isn't even a justification of what exists in the narrative to require any type of urgency.

If I wanted a random fuckfest with paper thin characters, I would open one of the hundred porn sites around and rub one of there. If you think the obvious headless chicken narrative currently going on with random events about nothing is engaging or interesting, then you would be entertained by any sequence of flashing lights.
Plenty games managed mix both a main story and "some narrative surrounding what is going on without smelling their own farts", and AHitR isn't one of them

But the H content is being added at the very slow pace too, last couple of years it feels like this game has been adding some filler story for the most part and that's it. If the main story doesn't exist, but the game is also not going the harem fuckfest route either, what's it supposed to be then?

Same feeling. I was into this game for a while then it just stagnated. The milking started I guess. One thing I figured about these games is that the worse thing for a player to do is to support the developer. The money starts flowing and the content slows down badly, I call that the milking.

Look, I enjoy this game, it's one of the best games on this site for me. For once there's no world destroying event, the mc getting cucked, mc fking with one dimensional girls. Instead here we have just a nice guy spending his time with girls from different worlds.

But everything has to have an end. Even the story itself showed it in the form of the magical threads that hold the house together.
Sure, it's mentioned that there are many of them to last for a long time, but can you blame me if during one of the last story parts it's mentioned how there're something wrong with the house? Like there's something or someone observing the main casts? This certainly add a sense of urgency to the game imo.
Since the dev decided to add such a thing, can you blame me for asking for the progress of the story?

Imagine living in some magical house, chilling your life for a while, then suddendly learned that there's something observing you, surely you'd want to find out what it is as fast as possible, instead of just going to ignore it right?

I think people would maybe be more open to it continuing to go nowhere if there were new characters being introduced, but at this point we are well past the shit or get off the pot stage with the existing cast. Which kind of brings up another point - having half a dozen VERY DIFFERENT styles of LIs is a good ploy to attract a wide audience and make money initially, but from the player's standpoint it gets old fast. If you notice, most people have kind of honed in on the one or two characters they like and aren't wild about the rest. So you can see 3-4 updates go by and barely get any content for the character/s you actually give a shit about. This would be much less of an issue if the game had just committed to one type of LI.

Lyriel and Rae are hot to me. Rae's personality and story is increasingly tanking though IMO. Many others have commented on her decline, it's not just my lone opinion. And the whole rest of the cast - I couldn't care less about. Cait is bangable but pretty boring and one-dimensional and I wouldn't say she's hot. Yona, Blair, Naomi? Wouldn't fuck them if they were the last females left in the universe. Also, I swear they keep slightly increasing the boob size and adjusting the body proportions on the characters, which is a step backwards for me. Not everyone prefers their women stacked and thick.

Most of the adult games I have played had way more characters that were hot to me. This game has turned from a very promising start to a super boring milkfest where in a fucking year of development, they add maybe 10 minutes of meh content on the characters I actually care to see.

The Russian translation for the chapter 6 'weights_bench' seems to be broken.
If is the original translation, try to play this chapter in another language. And then continue with your language.

I'm not sure how to change the language? I can't even get into the game. It's says unpacking game files and then immediately jumps to this. I reinstalled everything and still get this error. I tried opening the app without the RPA file to see what happens and I'm still getting a similar error. I've played the game perfectly fine before so no idea why it suddenly doesn't seem to work anymore.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:

Saves updated.
About Caitlin's parents, it is clear that some, if not many, in the university know them, and it is also clear that they don't want to talk about them. Perhaps for a good reason? Perhaps sometimes, it is simply better not to know?
Strange none in the game metions things like this.

The language is changed on the preferences screen in the language option.
In my experience, I follow the developer's instructions:

And everything is fine, but I play in a language other than Russian, sorry if you can't do it on your device.
Try download other old version, or asking in the game's discord.

I was about to post a very similar comment. Admittedly I haven't seen a lot of the newer story beats but if you told me you were playing this game for the main plotline I wouldn't believe you. It serves it's purpose, but like 80% of this game is sandbox slice of life stuff with the girls and it's always been that. If you aren't into it why are you playing the game at that point.

I'm not playing this game for the filling material, that's for sure. I would be OK if the deviations of the main story were interesting. Probably could be more interesting than the main story. But usually the side plots and 'slices of life' are childish, repetitive and boring, and the decisions only change the dialogues, not the result of the story, so there are no goals to achieve, like, I don't know, get to bed a girl, since you're going to get it anyway.

It's always the same: a girl comes to tell you that needs MC's help to travel to somewhere (that's the MC: an uber driver), they travel somewhere, there is almost always an uninteresting scene, and return to the house. I though the game could be interesting again after the last update of Rae's story, but it's been like a year since that and I have the feeling (I've been feeling like that for a very long time) that the game goes nowhere because the dev is prolonging artificially the game with uninspired filling material. AKA 'milking'. In my case, I would never pay for a game like this one. When I see here a new update, I download it, play it skipping most of the scenes (ten minutes), just to see if by chance there is any update of Rae's story of the main plot, get disappointed, and forget the game again for another month.

no god no...no new characters ...and what kind of shape do you think a dwarf woman should be?? for being a dwarf i find Blair quite captivating... and dev can be going forward just telling us what was going on with Yona and Blair story for example...these 2 characters have had close to 0 contents so far, expecially regarding their world story..so there is planty of contents dev can makes instead of diddling in some side dull stories...

Honestly speaking, those are also the two I like the least.

Yona's personality is really nothing like that of an Orc, and i also really don't like how she looks. The idea of having a shy character being an ostracized member of a highly aggressive tribe is on paper pretty good; but IMO that part doesn't get across all that well and she ends up being a Green Naomi variant (in the sense of "Gentle Giant") with none of the connections or personality and arguably the worst model out of the bunch.

It's not that she is completely out of place, but rather that she doesn't fit in. Every Character has an archetype, and hers is already taken in a way, and that's a problem adding more content/ lore with her won't fix.

Blair on the other hand suffers from having the worst personality out of the bunch. I get that she is the completely paranoid engineer of the group, but I feel like at some point it crossed over from being acceptable to me disliking her. Not that I wouldn't be completely paranoid after being warped into a house that is floating in the void, but it feels like she is actually sabotaging the others which I don't like; and can be fixed with more lore.


But in all honesty, I feel like Yona needs a complete Remake. A bad model is one thing, that can be easily retroactively improved, but I feel like there is just too much *overall* wrong with her

 

[Karnewarrior]

tbf, Yona would be significantly LESS interesting if she behaved like a stereotypical orc. In no small part than because we already have that with Naomi. But also because WAAAGH is trite. I don't think they step on each others' toes at all as it is, but they certainly would if they acted the way people would expect.

While I agree she's not particularly pretty, I'm used to not getting what I want in terms of body shape. I don't think Honey Select even natively allows for it, actually. Patreon would pitch a fit - short and petite can't exist on an adult woman in their world.

Rather than getting grumpy about characters not suiting my tastes would just add to the problem though. I'd rather be chill and let the people who like their muscle waifus have their muscle waifu. I don't need to desperately want to fuck every girl in the game. I have Rae and Lyriel and Cait and Blair and that's fine.

Me not liking someone is not something wrong with them.

Nothing wrong with her model, it's fine as is.

The changes need to come in how she's being handled. At the moment she's damn near a part of the furniture. I don't mean that in the usual sense of them belonging but more in the sense that they just exist in the background not really contributing much.

I expected more from her when she was introduced but it's like the dev doesn't know what to do with her.

 

[raggiee]

I messed up my quest progression for "Manga Research Club Pt 2" and was just wondering if some tech wizard could skip that one / any others so I can continue progressing it like normal.

 

[Alternation62]

How do I get Rae's Under the Counter scene and Cait's spooning options scene?

 

[ntohugo]

Guys, I'm trying to do the "Hanging out with Naomi" quest. I've tried all the combinations, but it never gets completed. Is it a bug, or am I missing something?
