VN Ren'Py A Life Worth Living [Ch. 5.5 Public] [FiTB_Games]

[Skep-tiker]

And I'm not gonna even mention the 'game over' scenario right at the start of this update that essentially just SKIPS OVER the entire content of 5B if you choose not to acquiesce to Mary... that one stung a lot.

this seems to be a move out of spite against the crowd of people who already wished Fred to leave Mary.

Is this the possibility of breaking up you promised , simarimas ? Sounds underwhelming.

 

[simarimas]

Oh, finally there are normal animations, it makes me happy. Even more modern and detailed renders of bodies and skin would be absolutely great.)
The only thing that bothers me is that the game over is here because of a divorce. Marie, frankly speaking, is not very interesting to me as a female character; there are more attractive female characters in the game. So if the plot allowed it, I would gladly divorce her and focus on other female characters. But instead, I constantly have to apologize to her and fulfill her wishes so as not to get a game over, it’s annoying...

Glad you liked the new animations, been trying to make them better and been working on those.

We are making a game about a husband and wife. While the wife may not be to your tastes, she is the wife. This is the game we are making. We have tried to have a diversity of other women whom you can have sex with, both cheating and swinging, as well as a few for hotwife path. However, ultimately it is the story of the couple.

Spite? Maybe a little. However in those discussions, we mentioned it would be an end game scenario to divorce her. Most said that would be acceptable. We also mentioned we had a story to tell here. But this is not the only breakup chance you will have, even if you didn't leave her early.

So in our internal discussions, we came up with a solution for this. And it made sense to us. No true end game, just moving to the point in the chapter where it made sense to go to if you take that path. If you decide to leave Mary, did you expect to still go to the swingers club with her? To spend time with her as in the other scenes? or to get kicked out of the house?

There will be more to the path going forward, though it will be a limited scope for Fred being alone. And we will end up finishing our story on all paths this way.

 

[simarimas]

Why is Fred the one who has to leave the house, why does the game end with the separation, how many endings are foreseen, in the separation scene, the dialogues are well done, and I hope that there is still a big bitter confrontation between the ex-spouses

The wife always gets the house, at least where I am from, hahahaha.

The game isn't over with the seperation, however it will be a very limited scope if you go that route. We have a story to finish, and we will for all paths.

Thanks, glad you liked the dialogue there. There could very well be another confrontation between them in the final chapter.

We are expecting quite a few different possible endings to the game, at least 5 different possibilities, perhaps even more.

Btw everytime GetOutOfMyLab shows up, I get inspired to do more.. thank you.

Who?

j/k How are you Lab?

Couple of questions for you about the game that I was wondering about.

what happened to Fred’s boss and his swinger wife?
I mean they are the reason Fred& Mary are swingers but they have never hooked up at the club or at there houses.

What happened to Charlotte? I know Kelly left the company and maybe Charlotte was let go? (can’t remember) but does that mean she’s out of the game or will we still see her again?

How about the big titted waitress (forgot her name) will Fred ever get a chance for a quickie with her ? Please

Tom and Gwen will be in the next update. which is the big swingers party. Which was mentioned in part 2. Chapter 5.5. If you remember, they said they never mix business with pleasure, which is why no hookup there.

Charlotte will appear again, a couple of times, in Chapter 6.

The waitress is possible. We have discussed her.

 

[sagerock820]

The bitches are moaning again. I love Mary, I find her very attractive and am glad she's not like every other wife in AVNs. If you don't like her, don't play.

People complained that Fred and Mary stayed together, now they don't if you go that route and people still complain?

All these people paying for the cheating path, got fucked hard up the ass. Considering the massive time between updates. All these morons play the cheating path and complain about it because of cheating. This is a common theme among many games, these people have serious mental issues.

 

[Sod!]

Actually some of them did ask us to add a choice to "end" things with Mary. We have warned before, if they are not togather then there is no game. This game is about a couple. Not a Harem...

There is a massive difference between patching up a loose end and properly writing a path.

This game has unavoidable NTS, aka Sharing/Swinging, great, that’s the path many might consider true canon.

However, you added the option for players to go full NTR, aka corruption/cheating, so that is another path. Thing is, that route feels like the redheaded step-child, especially after what you just wrote. This (NTR) path is inherently flawed if all that is waiting at the end of it is a ‘Game Over, You Died’ screen, which is funny since that path apparently already has a few Game Over bombs dispersed throughout.

My question is, since you clearly didn’t fully understand the point of my previous post: Why even bother writing a path in an AVN that not already has a Game Over possibility, but is also planned to end in a Game Over-esque fashion?

You do realize that NTR doesn’t have to be absolute? If you are writing about a loving couple whose swinging turns into NTR because of “bad” choices, it is still very much possible to write an ending where the couple reconciles - and if that is not an option in your opinion, at least don’t end the path in “Fred died on the way to his home planet” fashion, it’s very disrespectful.

Yes, NTR means you are probably playing as the asshole, but Fred and Mary still have a chance. Like I already said, if you don’t like the possibility of Fred or Mary dumping each other as a direct result of the NTR, simply don’t give the players an option to end the narrative earlier than intended. Otherwise, you might as well slap a huge warning label when Fred first cheats saying “this action will result in Fred clubbing a baby seal to death”.

As it stands, the NTR “path” in 5B literally does not exist as you get a grand total of 3 renders compared to the “true” path.

Writing this from my phone at work which I hate doing. There is no required end game for NTR path. If you decide to not leave your wife and try to make things work then you get a full chapter. The only short chapter is if you decide to quit the relationship.

There is a way to reconcile but choosing to leave her isn't how you go about.

You as the player decided to cheat and be an as whole in the game. There are consequences for those decisions. If you don't want to face those consequences then you have that decision.

I'm playing now on the ANDROID version and so far there is no audio for either the music or the voices. I opened another game to see if it was my cell phone and the audio works in other games.

I'll uninstall and try reinstalling to see if the audio returns.

Actually. Many do unsubscribe or lower their membership, then subscribe or raise it when and update comes out. We added about 20 subscribers Saturday and Sunday, and many others upgraded. So you are wrong in that. We are not on Steam, so that isn't relevant. And giving the game out early is a perk for those who do subscribe.

We just spent 3 and half months working on this update. And I personally was up until 3 am on Friday night, after a long day of work, to write and render a scene that we felt needed to be there for a later scene to make sense, something we didn't realize until our playthroughs. And with all the time we spent on it, it is somewhat disheartening that impatient people can't wait 7 days for a bug free public release.

I do appreciate your take on the game itself, and thanks for the kind words about the game being 'golden'. And that we should have much more support.

Seems steady, and if anything your support is slowly rising over the months. Likewise, it looks like before an update comes out there is an uptick of subscribers and then maybe it will drop to July1st levels after? but even if it does based on the monthly graph this would still be an overall increase in monthly support.

The game isn't on steam. But you could add it there after full release and probably make big bucks and there's no way you haven't thought about it or aren't interested in doing it either.

I think it sucks you're only making$300 to maximum $500 a month, but I think you're on track to make more and more money, not to lose income even if the game is released here a week sooner. I could be wrong, it's just what I think. IMO if you develop a good reputation for development and completing games, you're only looking at success after success, and I hope this happens for you since you seem like a good dev.

basically i want you to get famous so free game on here hardly impacts you lol. i am dirt poor i could only do one time payment for any kind of game, and at the same time that would also be difficult for me to do. plus there is a stigma around paying for porn games too for some people. getting it free makes it less likely to be tracked back to me etc.

No sounds were added. We did attempt to add some (that is why you hear it in some scenes) but then we switched to something else.

Hadn't played it yet, due to other game updates with higher priority, but I took the 2 minutes now thanks to the leak. Well lets say the scene really emphasizes what Mary said earlier that she still loves Fred and how grateful she is for hs support during the blackmail and being imprisoned

F: "I will pack my things and leave you"
M: "Ok."

simarimas I read through the new comments. Is the "Game Over" scene going to be the only way for separation. Only asking not because I want to leave Mary but hoping for an ending where Mary is the one that leaves the MC at the end of the finale chapter if he goes full cheating manwhore / asshole mode. Keep in mind I haven't played the update yet wait for the public release since I read there will be bug fixes in that build.

This is not the only separation possibility. Only the first

 

[gedads]

"This is not the only separation possibility. Only the first " will you make one where the MC finally has some spine back, where he tells his wife she's just a whore and no that you don't build a family with a whore in a swinger's party unless there's a bingo at the end of it to choose who will raise that pizza delivery boy kid's with his money and ultimately that she has already enough semen inside to repopulate the city. That he was cheating to get away from her madness and in hope to find someone better suited for him and ends up leaving with a trustworthy wife and that she can happily go with the neighboor with his blessing?
i mean he's the MC shouldn't the main character somehow win... just joking you're not wired that way just emasculate him.
