Ren'Py A Town Uncovered [v0.55a Alpha] [GeeSeki]

[123lxq]

Is there any actual content in that computer game X-posed?
I tried to type some sentences that will make the dialogue slightly different like:"pull out", "grab her leg" and "grab her tit", but the outcome still remains cuming inside.

 

[RoughlySpecific]

The new update should come out next week. Have another dev tracker summary:

Lashley:
- The Lashley route appears to be complete. Full location art, full sprite work, full coding, full everything. (No art for the Lifeguard/adult store girl lesbian scene, though, afaik.)
- Bonus: A movie date. No dream sequences yet. Just BJ/HJ in the movie theatre. Dreams are scheduled for v0.39.
- Bonus: Patreon voted H-scene at Lashley’s manor.

-10 bugs squashed. None of the big bugs people kept asking about in the thread were listed, though.
- Filling out the main story update from v0.37. Nothing new, but art assets and coding for some of it. Includes parts of a proofreading minigame, background art for some locations, spritework for some scenes…
- For some tasks I cannot tell whether they are for the recent main story or for old stuff. ("Mom wants to know (Kitchen Morning)"; "Request and Reveal (Comic Book Backroom)"
- Patreon voted scene: MomxSisxMC threesome in the boxfort
- Some effort on a "VR Headset Edward Side Story Path".

--------------
Incomplete tasks / Planned tasks:

1) Dream sequences for the Lashley dates.
2) Movie dates + dream sequences for the sister.
3) A lot of work on the email proofreading and copy machine minigames
4) Various (old) main story content. Includes missing assets for a "Parents Bedroom Movie Threesome" h-scene
5) Some general art assets for locations.
6) Most of the bugs discussed in this thread have not even gotten a task yet. No mention of fixing the broken hint system for either Lashley or the threesome route. No mention of being locked out of even starting the MomxSis route.

Nope.

I think it's very unfortunate, because the game does (usually near the end of routes) have genuine great moments between characters. I just think it's soured by what I mentioned above.

Yeah, the MC is definitely the butt of any joke. Only one worse off is Jacob, and he doesn’t really feature much.

I can't say I like this game. I may edit and flesh out this comment when I've 100% finished it, but I wanted to put out some thoughts now.

I have more complicated thoughts and feelings on the game, but I think that's a bit much to get into so I'll go with the more simple stuff. Like how there's the constant undertone (which sometimes is not so undertone-ish) where our protagonist is always the asshole who can only do wrong, regardless of what other characters do.
I'm very much aware of fleshing out characters with traits and imperfections, but it goes beyond that. It feels like the protagonist himself is only allowed to react in 1 way, the pull-back/passive/take it and bear it for a lack of a better word "beta male" path.

You're often talked down to, and when you pick any option to defend yourself your character either says some dumb shit, you're hit with "X person -5000 relationship" and no matter if you hardcore go for the "no, the protagonist is in the right/has extremely valid arguments" it always rails you back onto the same track of "protagonist wrong". An "interesting" illusion of choice. It's even more annoying because the game does everything it can to point out the flaws of the protagonist, even when you make the best choices possible gameplay-wise, but you get "zero" option to point out flaws or idiocy from the other characters.

Yeah yeah, it's a porn game etc. but I want my choices to have an impact, I want to be able to call out characters on their bullshit and not be pulled back onto the same predetermined "weak protagonist" path. It feels like most interactions are designed to make you feel bad, whether by the protagonist actually doing something stupid/another character having valid points, or your inability to say or do anything to change anything at all. Followed by "Wow it all worked out in the end eh? Because you technically had sex and stuff. Take the dopamine hit and be quiet." thing. Some characters really do some egregious shit and you just gotta listen to your protagonist be like "It's cool, I'm the asshole" route. I really dislike it.

How much I care/don't care about this depends on the weight the game itself puts on it. And there's not an insignificant amount of weight on the character interactions.

I think it's very unfortunate, because the game does (usually near the end of routes) have genuine great moments between characters. I just think it's soured by what I mentioned above.

you're absolutely right; the writing psychologically cucks you all along, and I can't see what purpose it serves.

I may need to update that in the guide. Apparently, something can block you from getting that scene. I think it has to do with how many affection points you have. Maybe you need to buy her gifts / cheat until you have more points?

Can you tell me how many points you have with her? Then try it after gaining a few more points?

Someone managed to continue by loading a previous save and choosing better answers in the 20 questions game. That might also be related, but I think the person just didn’t lose as many points the second time around:

I'm past that part and 20Q but I got some questions wrong, and when I looked her in the eye she didn't kiss the MC, the next day when I went to ask about the streaming she didn't want to talk at all and the game gave me this tip "Buy your jane's love in her bedroom", but currently I've worked around this whole situation. I do several saves (Before choices or h-scenes for example) then come back before 20Q, and follow a walkthrough to the questions, and I managed to continue in her side history, I thank you for your willingness to help

well its not just her but also Mrs Smith I was stuck at 1-2 points with them but i had to cheat to kinda get back on the right track

 

[Jaycool20]

I could also help with your guide a bit because I've found out some new things that everyone's guide hasn't added yet

I cannot recall anyone ever having to cheat to continue the Mrs Smith route.

Sure, if you have stuff to add to the guide, I’ll be glad to add it. I usually add it once there have been ~5 people asking about the same thing (or if I’m already changing something and think of something extra). It’s already bloated and messy enough,

ok first off I found out in 0.37a that for Lailah I could get her contact in the mornings on weekends when Jacob is not home.

the repeatable sex scene with the chick at the ice cream place doesn't just happen on Saturdays but Monday and some other weekdays if you do a double sift

there is a bug with Mrs. smith during one of here chapters when you have to check up on her on Fridays and she's masterbating. shell kick you out of the room but the objective keeps reapting itself every Friday

Recommend people to skip chapters only if stuck

Jane story after 20q for most people are broken and can be stuck with the third cam show forever. To bypass this go to mc's room and go onto his laptop, click on TimeTravler.ex, click on Jane and skip the chapter and this should hopefully put you on the right track agian

all 0.37a

 

[Jaycool20]

also if you havent played 0.37a yet i think you need to as soon as posblie so you could make a guide on it only if you want to

Added a mention that the doubleshift may work on days other than Saturday. Likewise that you can meet Lailah on weekend mornings. Thanks for checking these!

Pretty sure the repeating Mrs Smith scene is intentional. In my last play-through, she invited the player into the room instead of throwing him out. I assume you need enough affection points to progress in that scene. I might add it it becomes common for people to be stuck there.

The Jane part is already included in the "3) Help with various routes (Lashley, Hitomi, Allaway, Effie, Jane)" section.

also if you havent played 0.37a yet i think you need to as soon as posblie so you could make a guide on it only if you want to

.38 should be out in 2-3 weeks, so I’ll just play that. Also, I only tend to write guides for sections people are often stuck on. There haven’t been many mentions of people being stuck in the new content so far. Likewise, the new content is still being worked on, so it might still change.

How do I start the Mom&Sis route?

 

[NekoRush]

I'm gonna guess that what ever is suppose to trigger the mom & sis route is bugged stilled and hasn't been fixed since I've tried to starting over and doing what was needed I think but nothing triggered. The only thing I can guess is that I need to tell the mom I'm in love with the sister then maybe that will trigger it. I don't even know what the event trigger is or what I need to say to get it accepted for progress each of their routes to certain points. But the mother's route tends to block the sisters with the whole sleeping on the couch thing. And I don't even know if I have to have gone to other world and back before the mom & sis thing even triggers. Does anyone know please help.

There have been several reports of the route not starting. The whole route has actually been a technical disaster since it was first published a year ago. Pretty much every new update has introduced new bugs to the route.

Check out the relevant section in the guide linked in my signature. You probably need to force-start it by setting the progress to 1 on the MC’s computer.

 

[NekoRush]

Wait do I have to complete all of the Mom's route and Sis route so that the Mom & Sis route can trigger?

 

[RoughlySpecific]

No. To quote myself:

>First number is the Mom&Sis chapter. Later numbers are how far you have to be in the individual mom and sis routes and which date it needs to be.
> 1: "Check out the living room at night on Friday" Requirements: Mom 1, Sis 5

So you should only need to be on the very first step of the Mom route for the combined route to start.

Then what's suppose to happen because I'm not getting it to trigger. I still get the same conversation with the mom on the couch leading to the dad interrupting them.
