VN Ren'Py Abandoned A.O.A. Academy [Ch.5 Gold] [TLGGAMES]

[Skylaroo]

Honestly... Am I the only one here with a rational sense of mind in saying that the whole pacing of this story is a complete joke and a half? I mean we aren't even a week into our college life and already we about to commit possible murder (which, by the way I have no real problems with considering it's Tybalt Jr and 100% deserves it). Sure, model wise and some parts of the story are well done, but everything else needs working on for sure.

Love Vicky and Jade for sure.

To be honest, I don't remember exactly how long we've been at the college for. But even if it isn't even a week like you said, the length of time is pretty irrelevant because the murder plot isn't really affected by the college timeline at all. The college is merely a setting to allow MC to enter the main story. I prefer the fast paced story that it takes rather than matching the college timeline where the game might be littered with bloat content that isn't really related to the main story.

Technically speaking, the more unrealistic aspect about time is more about how it's far too quick to build such tight relationship/friendship between the characters. But that's an easy suspension of disbelief for me to take.

I cannot continue game after end of chapter 3 any ideas?

Nope, story sucks ass and dev love to drink their own koolaid. It's just that people have low standards for porn games and renders are ok.

I wouldn't say the story sucks ass. The pacing and premise though is the biggest reach. We aren't even there for a day or two an already we have mafia and shit? Like honestly, my biggest suggestion for TrueLoveGames writing wise would to be rework the pacing heavily. Give the MC a chance to have some of a college experience and not this 'by day five or so, we have plans to murder someone'. It's truly a hard sell in plausibility and undercuts the value of the game and story. And like I said prior, some parts of the story, mainly private moments and backstories are really well done for the most part, and the models do well done as well, but everything else is indeed of a hard reset. And that isn't mentioning the god awful typos and over using of certain lines...

Uhm, I am kinda confused. There are people complaining that it's a harem game then there are people complaining it's not a full harem. I am interested in this game because of the harem tag so how is it actually handled in the story? It would be awesome if someone could clear that up before I try the game.

There is no harem at this point. But it depends on how you handle things you can clearly see there will be a Harem route... not sure how this will end, for sure not EVERY girl will be in that harem. But i think there will be at least one route where you can have more than 4 girls at once...

If you ask me, when i play this game Harem just dont feels right. To me its clearly a love-game, the relationships so far are working best in a "normal" one on one realtionship.

But yeah... if you check the variables in the code and so, there will be a Harem later on... cant say when.

For now... it wouldnt make sense at all. But like some others mentioned already, the game has a slightly "pace" problem... there is already so much going on in the game, and only a week passed in the game... feels kinda weird. I kinda "ignore" the fact that its just a short time ingame. But to build an actual Harem with so many girls i think there need to past at least some months...

Well, thats an issue i dont bother with.

OVerall, i am not a fan of Harem Games. They get boring very fast, every girl is always in an instant throwing themself to the Mc and so on, without any issues at all...

A.O.A is way different. For now, youll focus on some girls... if you go for one, you will loose points for another... at this point, you cant get them all, not even most of them.

But i think if you go for Ashley, than it might lead at some point in the future in a "sharing" relationship with her friends... and same goes for Jenny (Jenny already hinted that she might be interested in sharing the MC) and her girls... So if you ask me, there will be two different Harem routes later on... WAY LATER. iam talking about at least 5 more updates until a Harem route will be "visable" i would say...

So... yeah there will be Harem in the future, but when i play this game, a Harem feels just off. The one on one relationships and "falling in love" with each other are working much better, to me... going for Harem would be ruining things i think.

If you want a Harem, or better said "need" a Harem you might want to wait some updates more until its clear how this will unfold... maybe come back at chapter 8 or 9 or so... for now, its a long way to a Harem i think.

Ah... forget to mention, this game is supposed to take place in "seasons" season 1 is almost done as far as i know (dont remember exactly, but i think it will have 6 chapters? or was it 8?)

If you ask me... we wont get any "Harem" until end of season 2, and even then... it would feel off to me.

wait for the release... its stil a beta... or download chapter 4 gold, and wait until chapter 5 is gold.

Yeah the beta is buggy... cause, well.... its a beta, and never was meant to be released to the public in the first place.

To clarify, what I'm trying to say in my previous post is that the game is not about MC's college life (compared to BADIK or College Kings which are exactly about MC's college life) so that it doesn't really matter whether the murder plot happens after a week or a month or a year because the plot is not tied into the college life at all.

What you suggested when you said "Give the MC a chance to have some of a college experience" in the quote above is exactly what I would consider as bloat content for this particular game because the college experience (ex: party, exams, sports competition, etc) is not part of the plot which is basically about "Adam vs Jenny" (at least so far, I have no idea if it's the only plot or if it'd finish early and then there's new plot later on). To me, it makes sense for the plot to move quicker because there's really no reason for Adam to sit and wait.

Having said all that, I do understand what you're trying to say and what you want to see. I just think that it's probably more suitable for college-life focused games and not necessarily AOA.

There will be a harem of sorts eventually. The Dev confirmed this a while ago. Sadly, no one reads any past posts.

Nice a shared harem, we all share the same harem, why not, I'm into sharing too.

 

[AM97]

I don't know why but I didn't get any scenes with Jenny or Jade :/

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll put this on the back burner until there is a more concrete plan about how the harem will be implemented.

all free roam bugged?

Do you have to focus on one person and reject all others for this game or can you just choose all positive options with all the women and still see all the content? For example do I miss out on any scenes by just saying "yes" to everyone?

 

[juniorforlife17313]

Wonder how the harem ending would play out given how some of the girls showed some jealous tendencies. Should be a awesome scene though with all the girls fucking the mc at the same time. That leads me to the question of how many chapters the games gonna end up with in total. Didn't the dev say season 1 would be 8 chapters?

for now... you cant pursue every girl at the same time at this point, you will miss scenes either way. Multiple Playthroughs are needed to see everything. I recommend to make a playthrough for every girl youre interested in. The dialogues and scenes change a lot depending on the score with the girls.

To a degree, you can say yes to all but some paths will be blocked out. So you will have to play through again and again.

 

[VanguardSM]

OK thank you for the answer, the last few updates I didn't see any scenes outside of Ashley and suspected I was missing something. Time to start multiple playthroughs then!

 

[Hahn1900]

*sigh* will be the last time i mention this, cause i think, the "BETA" in the file name should be obvious enough...

its a BETA, yeah there are many bugs, cutscenes missing, free roams buggy and so on, cause its a BETA for a reason. Wait til the official release (in 2 weeks) or download chapter 4 gold and play it, than wait for chapter 5 gold...

 

[maxxlim]

Anyone knows how to open the console?

 

[Ahchi]

I don't know why but I didn't get any scenes with Jenny or Jade :/
