VN Ren'Py A Ring or the Shield [Week-1] [Mr.Nonnypants]

[Mr.Nonnypants]

I would love to hear the difference between choices and decisions.

Choices are what the player chooses. Decisions are what the characters do.

Reading the storyline, it seems the game has a hint of the "I" word. Hoping that I am correct. Best of luck, d/l now. Would love to see sex and corruption stats.

"I" don't know what you are talking about.
Hopefully the corruption is represented in the sprite changes over time.

Just 10 months to remaster a demo -.-

I could never forget about this game. However I can forget about DAZ.

7ish days to be exact. Game was on hold as I didn't have time nor money to work with DAZ. Investment was a bit too high to pull off anything I had planned.

 

[bismism]

So game needs AICG tag now, evidently, yeah?

 

[LordRikerQ]

So there hasnt seem to a clear answer, does this let you or plan to let you hook up with the Mom?

 

[Saint Blackmoor]

Great to see the updat... Oh, AI now. No thanks.

 

[Nemesiz691]

Yoooo what happen to the original? Ngl original way better graphics than this remake. Tsktsktsk

 

[BK186]

Off, I really liked the visuals of the first game.

 

[Insane One]

Not gonna lie, you really need to change the cover image to match the new graphic style. It's very confusing to click a DAZ image and see AI art in the previews.

 

[senjeny]

If I have to choose between seeing this game abandoned and the new art, well... I'd take the new art. Looking forward to actually see the story advance. Good luck, dev!

 

[Mount Parnassus]

Very good to see the dev return and quite fulfilling to see someone take over the mantle - even if it's more of an inspiration, rather than a remake. Thank you and good luck, Mr.Nonnypants

I'm curious if there is going to be any futa content in this game? I'm asking because futa is my main fetish.

 

[Maverick369]

I replayed the demo. Is the future game looking like that or what was shown in new images

 

[Kaikoaa98]

wotf why shitty AI?? bruhh original was so much better, can't fap to this AI bs

 

[Ferdinand321]

Is NTR avoidable? Or will it happen in future updates or will it never happen? Because if this becomes avoidable it will be better for those who hate the cuckold lovers.
( ( edit: I saw this part that the NTR is only about the choices the MC makes, like bad choices leading to a game over as punishment and then returning to the choice after the game over. If this is true, it could even be good, of course, only if our MC is the only man with the women. Also, making all the guys who want to NTR the MC disappear in the most cruel and bloody way (It should be bloody and cruel since it's a game involving police, corruption, and crime, so who cares about a dead (fuckboy) or better yet, turning him into a EUNUCH so he never attempts to do NTR on the MC again). Edit 2: I still haven't downloaded the game and don't intend to until I'm 100% sure it's avoidable. ) )

 

[Svoben]

Choices are good, meaningful, impactful choices are even better....however, it's possible to overdo it. If you choose to take your dad out for a drink early on, you miss a later scene that explains....the premise of the entire undercover operation and essentially all the bones of the entire plot, leaving you wondering WTF is even going on for (apparently) the entire rest of the game. Might need to review the logic of that particular decision, dev.

Art change is permanent.

Storyline is believable with true characters. Don and Cecilia are happily married, ergo Don and Cecilia will have sex. This is not a wish fulfillment story. If you don't want to see that type of content then this isn't the game for you. However if you don't want to see the corruption and destruction of the family then that is within your power as a player.

That is intended.
Choices really have consequences in this VN.
However in your specific instance there is another opportunity to learn more about the premise in the first release. If you turn that down then I hope you enjoy being clueless.

 

[katabasi]

the banner is just bait uh?

 

[Yougiblack]

Nah original art was much better, AI isn't onboard for this game, that's literally burying it alive sorry to say but either daz or the game won't pull up one bit.

 

[Rahveryn]

Bah, I really don't get the Anti-AI thing. If you can not draw or model, use it... it is better then many peoples attempts at trying. I have enjoyed published comix that AI art is far superior too. I enjoyed the art here, good job. Storytelling hopefully goes well.

As for content... Never understood why a husband and wife that does not include the MC having sex, or a group thing with multiple male and female participents going at it all over the room would be "NTR" or buried under that tag. I find it weird. Cici has hot model, go nuts putting her in all kinds of fun situations.

For the record.., I'm hoping that her (and the rest of the women introduced so far) are used extensively in all manner of fun and diverse scenes in coordintion with your story paths. I admit, I'd like to see Cici forced to act in all manner of comprimising and unfaithful ways motivated by corseion, need, and survivial to progress the plot. I'm hoping the whole family, the GF, and the co-workers are all pulled into that arena. A "Lose" ending must exist, bit I still hope for an end where the good guys to win; I'm just hoping they come out the other side a lot more open, experianced, and having discovered all manner of kinks and fetishes they did not previous know they had, tried to deny, and learned to accept and indulge. Good times.

I'm watching this one, good luck.
