VN - Ren'Py - A.L.I History [Ch.2] [Bychipi]

There's just something about the game that doesn't sit right with me. Perhaps it's just a rough opening but at times it feels lifeless or static. The first major scene is one where you meet up with a girl for lunch and there's like 30 odd lines of dialogue where all you see on screen is a render of her sitting. No changes to posture, facial expression, nothing to imply she's having a conversation at all, that she's alive. It could simply be laziness on the part of the dev or a way of cutting corners to speed up development but it's very obvious. What's worse is the conversation is a long one and at best the woman on screen has maybe 2 other facial expressions, one of shock and one where she looks sad and that's it. Her posture doesn't change at all. Back straight, hands in lap, face foward. Like she's giving an interview. At no point does the camera pan to you, or the surroundings so .... it just feels lifeless.

I like this game and i hope it will continue as good as the start one.
But if its not i'm very confused about it. Why does it took so long to realesed ?
so for the techincal:
1) the story is pretty
2) the handling is good
3 ) I love the gamesetting

It feels strange when you first play it, the plot is simple, and the graphics are not finely rendered.
But gradually you will find that this game is the purpose of our gathering at F95.
No fiddly sandboxes. No annoying puzzle mini-games.
There is only one busty beauty bimbo who keeps fucking you crazily in different poses and scenes.
I will bookmark this as a great little game on my computer.
If you play this game with a relaxed attitude, it will feel great.
Don't compare it with well-known works or big productions of famous companies. no need.

VERSION: Ch2
SUMMARY: The game feels wrong, poorly put together and doesn't sell itself as worth investing time into.

5. Story: 2
6. Writing: 3

Average: X of 50 possible points giving a X% rating i.e. X stars.

PROS:

1. The writing itself is not bad, wrt the sentences and how its strung together, grammar and such.
2. Visually it looks good, renders are good and characters look good.

CONS:

1. Off the bat I am not overly fond of how the story is narrated, the dialogue is bland, void of any emotion, almost like some robot is droning on.
2. The setting, house and everything is clinical if you can call it that, stark of any person items, doesn't feel like a home, feels like a lab.
3. The MC is way too young to have 3 kids in college, while you can't see his face due to the game design, he looks otherwise very young. This is a big red flag and the story/game looses me immediately due to unrealistic settings and plot points.
4. Plot itself is flimsy and poorly thought through, the MCs dialogue with Monica during first meeting suggests a weird relationship in the past that makes no sense in the "normal" realistic sense of the word. e.g. suggestive of a 3 some kind of relationship, which the MC seems to think is perfectly normal, at least as how the dialogue describes it. Again pointing to poor story, plot and planning for this game. This is further compounded by the MCs mother being jealous of his relationships, further suggesting a twisted theme and dichotomy in his family. Which would be acceptable if you pushing the incest angle, but NOT as a matter of common conversation out in the open as if its normal, its NOT normal, at best a kink, which the dev fails to capitalize on and if anything ruins completely.
5. More kinetic than VN and really no choices at all. Added to the flimsy story it just drives another nail into this games coffin for me.

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• The game starts off immediately wrong, trying to set the stage for the MC and his life, but it does this very poorly, the way its done, it sounds like the MC was recently "turned on" like a computer and he just starts regurgitating a poor script with no emotion.
• The story is poorly structured and planned, it immediately puts me off to want to skip all the dialogue and just watch the pictures for possible fap content. When the story looses you so quickly and easily, your game will not work at all in my opinion.
• The dialogue is actually off putting and completely "wrong" for lack of a better term, e.g., with Kira, asking her if she is of legal age. This is not a way to ask unless you some predator trying to make sure you can get away with statutory rape. Why not ask normally, "so how old are you now" not "Are you of legal age", "Yes", "Oh, thats nice!" WTF man?

My impression of this game is that it is half baked at best. The immediate stage set for the game on looks and writing are simply bad/poor and unrealistic. The dev wants you to come into their world but its a stark, uninteresting and unrealistic one that has no history or anything that is interesting to create the cohesion needed to keep a player vested.

The renders are good, but thats it, sadly I just lost interest in what I would now call a bullshit story" Pity, as based on the renders alone the dev could make a good game, but the writing and story are just bad.

I don't hate it, but its mostly have sex with a married woman or hang out with some girls you aren't having sex with. This is as kinetic as it gets. Nothing of note is really happening. The either sits at home, has sex with the same married woman or hangs out with three girls he doesn't have sex with. That is literally this entire story if you take his backstory out of the equation.

I don't like this game, for the visual part of AVN that it claims to be, as the number of renders are little in numbers, moreover the lewd scenes are very vanila. The angles used to create deep immersion that blocks mc face are annoying and districts more than helping immersion. I don't care about story as the scenes bored my eyes .

I will not comment on story because frankly I didn't have it time. Because I would rather give my time yo more developed game.
I really suggest the dev to use real porn to first dev a beta version for basingtheir scenes. But again I can't draw for shit.

Finally I will say this there are some interesting angles, but they are only handful

Very nice story with good renders and with beautiful milf & girls. Love it. Totally my type of game. Eagerly waiting for future update. Mostly around monica, kira and eva. Hope boys have a great girlfriend so MC get there hand on them too.
