VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.211] [Lust & Passion]

[dima1986]

Thats because Sex is not a serious issue. Its Chaotic, stupid, funny, sometimes even hillarious but most of the time its fun.
If it was serious people would be very strict about which they are not. Once sex happend the boundaries fall more and more each time a couple has sex to which at one point it becomes either boring or pointless.
If you want to sell sex and make it an uptight serious issue you wont sell anything as sex is based on impuls, hormones and alot of times on phantasies who have zero to do with reality. Especially when its a game you have to abandon realism cause no one plays sex game for realism. Same with reading erotic novels. People want to escape reality thats why you have to give them the fantasy isntead of realism.

Every guy imagines a 10/10 Women to be a fuck of a lifetime and then is shocked once he has sex with her and she does literally nothing but lay there like a corpse. She is a 10/10 she doesnt have to be good at sex she looks awesome. Thats how reality works. Been there, had it all. They all share it. They cant fuck for shit.

Meanwhile the 7/10 you didnt want to fuck can suck a golfball trough a garden hose. And is eager to do so as she doesnt get the same amount of male attention the 10/10 is getting. Thats also reality.

But in a novel you write the women to be a 10/10 and the men all have to be at least equal as good looking etc.
You give her the sexual skill of a 7/10 cause of course if she looks amazing she must have amazing sex.
Then you write a story that would make 0 sense in reality but because ppl had enough of reality and want to live in the fantasy it sells like sliced bread.

Thats why BB made that much money. It was silly sometimes stupid and had nothing to do with reality. Thats what ppl want in the long run. Sure there are exceptions but at the end of the day which way you choose?

The one who can maybe make you money?
or the one who can guaranteed make you money?

Also care to explain to me which main plot you are talking about?

The author of the game wrote that he wants to create a very high-quality game that is not similar to the others. And while it suits him. Your problem and other critics that you are trying to evaluate the game on the old, fairly low criteria. The creator raised the bar of quality very high. Not everyone can or do not want to understand this.

What he wants and what he does are 2 different things.

I dont evaluate the game on old or low criteria i evaluate the game about sex and the lack of said sex.
The quality of the game so far is non existing. Once i see a sex scene i can tell you exactly how i rate the game from 1 to 10.

There is nothing to understand. If you make an action movie without action its a failure. If you make a sex game without sex its a failure. Ppl already hyping this game with 0 content in it.

Im not naive enough to follow such behaviour. If the dev wants praise or my patreon support i need to see a sex scene.

I got contacted by a few devs in this forum for constructive critique which i give for free about writing and how to get better.
And in this case its very simple.
Deliver a sex scene and then i can agree or not agree of it being a masterpiece. I cant rate a game about sex without sex in it.

However if the sex scene doesnt deliver what the hype promised the game will fall behind compared to other devs.
Nothing more and nothing less.

 

[torkenstiem]

Yes seriously. The author himself said this. The next update of the beginning of the lines of Dylan and Elly are the main characters. The author himself wrote that after this game will begin to gain momentum...

I think my definition of the word "momentum" is very different from your and L&P's definition.

If you're talking about render quality, I agree. But the story itself is anything but "raising the bar". Like the situation in the subway, Sophia got out of that oddly simple. She had already determined a way of escape practically the moment it happened, and without even a scratch. The dramatic experience fizzled out too early.

Once again, the absence of porn scenes at the beginning of the game is normal. Abnormally, this porn scene in the very beginning. You again try to judge a quality game according to the slag standards. The author wrote a story of all 30 days. God forbid, he will begin to rewrite the plot for the sake of impatient games, this will be the end of the game. The fact that the author is making a serious game, and not cheap stupid porn is a plus, not a minus. Everything has its time.

 

[Ignazzio]

Its not a fact its an assumption on another genre. To prove your point the dev would need to post his game will never have any sex scenes and boom instant money drop by 50% at least. Cause it is a Sex VN and not a Story VN only.
It only works as ppl expect sex in the future.

You miss the point. If its a Sex less VN it is wrongfully in this forum. If it is a Sex Based VN it needs sex in order to gain money or keep the money as blue balling never works for long.

I am familiar what VNs are and how many japanese are out there however this forum is about sex VN not about sexless VN at least to my knowledge.

Having sex in a game doesn't mean it has to focused on it or go for it rapidly in unrealistic way. And you're wrong about this forum. Catch this one:

It has a decent sex scene after maybe 70 hours of gameplay. There are plenty of games like this one and they are all marked as erotic. It's a bit weird when people are attacking a VN game for such a reason. VN stands for Visual NOVEL and even tho extremally fast-paced fuck simulators (like DoD) on Patreon made some people used to such pace they are no way something standard. This dev is clearly safe from any drop in a nearby future.

And nope again. 0.5 is not at the very beginning either. The game wasted more renders and pointless dialouge in the build up then some other completed games combined.
I know my writing and this is BS you defend for no other reason then your opinion. A build up can be done till 0.3 version not till 0.5 versions or further. I guarantee the next update will be as this one.

A buildup is meant to introduce characters and certain character traits and personalities. Nothing more.
Yet instead we do this in every update again with the difference that we get yet another new character and then another etc.

This is not how you write a story this is how you fail to transition from build up to main plot which btw is non existant. Otherwise please tell me what the main plot of the game is.

You fail to see my point yet again. Its not about his story he envisioned.
it is about how story telling or in this case story writing works.

This is an example of how this works in short.

Prologe.
Introduction.
Story foreshadowing.
Build up of characters
transition into main plot.
Side plots.
Main Plot.
Finishing of side plots.
Build up for climax of main plot.
Characters personality change (the hero overcomes his fears etc.)
Climax of the main Plot.
Transition into the aftermath.
Aftermath.
End.

The Build up of characters can never be this big. Otherwise you fall off at other points especially if you only made 30 game days you need to fill or in this case have left to cramp all that into it.

I dont hate on the game nor do i say its a bad game. Just the writing needs to be changed or he will write himself into a dead end. And good that he made all 30 days already. Only problem is writing doesnt work that way.

You will always add and cut out stuff in the process of work and thats the beauy and curse of it. Writing sounds easy but isn't and what i offer is simply professional constructive critique what the dev does with it is up to him.

Constructive critique is never an attack. It appears you cant tell the difference from critique to attack.

Good link only problem is you take a japanese game and apply japanese sale strategy to western market.
Which doesnt work.

Patreon didnt set those standards. The Western Porn industry did. In no way you can apply those asian sale strategies to the western market.

While i agree that there are such games as you mentioned you have to realize that the western society is alot more open with sex and porn as the asian market is.
Therefore you can get sales by the slow paced sex genre but my point was that you need to add sex and not wait forever with it or your own hype will break you the neck in the long run.

People in western markets will lose interest after a certain amount of time. Thats how it always was and always will be with the flooded market of free porn at hand.

Or in short. While that asian dev makes money its nothing compared to similar games made for western standards. They make tons more money and thats my whole point. You cant apply asian customer marketing on western customers.

These are all subjective assessments. This game is author's work. And only the author decides how the game develops. I like how the game develops, the author has never disappointed me.

Ok, different sale methods are a fair point. But man, saying that western society is more open with sex than one of the most sexualized cultures on this planet which is Japanese is just silly. There is a reason why real market with adult games exists only there.
As for sales, title I gave you is like a AAA amongst VNs. It earned probably more than all our Patreon games altogether. VNs of this type are almost mainstream in Japan and I can agree that profits they make are nothing comparable with our small market.

 

[Gomly1980]

Its a sex game.
.

No, it's a visual novel. It's a story that has sex as a bonus not as it's focus.

This isn't a porn site, it's an adult site. That's everything from mature themes to erotica.

Big Brother, Parental Love, Summertime Saga, Love thy neighbor. Acting Lessons. To give some examples who do everything better.

The fact that you put Big Brother as a game that does something better than anything else is laughable.

The MC is unlikeable, the mother is a contender for worst parent of all time and would have had child services at her door long before the game started. The sisters are a pair of numpty's.

The basic premise is an annoying little cunt blackmailing/coercing more annoying cunts into sex. The plot is thin and the characters are weak. The only claim to fame it has it it spawned an army of equally shit clones and brought cliche incest plot points to the masses.

It's an insult to Parental Love and Love Thy Neighbour to be mentioned in the same sentence as that shit show.

 

[Ignatz]

Don't forget BB's other claim to fame: Eric!!

Now the name most despised in all of adult gaming.

 

[Gomly1980]

Don't forget BB's other claim to fame: Eric!!

Now the name most despised in all of adult gaming.

I find it amusing how many games rip the piss out of it by having comedy Eric's in.

 

[atlas114]

he also put the example of Love Thy Neighbor in the same vein of PL, SS, and Acting Lessons. :test2:

 

[ThunderStruck]

I think that the teacher from AWAM has a potential to replace him as "the most hated", well at least if dev does not drop the game.

 

[fauxplayer]

he also put the example of Love Thy Neighbor in the same vein of PL, SS, and Acting Lessons. :test2:

I noticed that, too... I'm pretty sure he meant My Sweet Neighbors. Anyone considering Love Thy Neighbor a good game, let alone a masterpiece, automatically has their opinions invalidated haha.

 

[VNON]

it's short :/
i hope it's not just one day each update

 

[ltpika]

The people who defend this game never seem to address the issues about pointless scenes and the dumb stuff like how every five minutes in her life, 5th graders are always falling on her dick first. The slow pace is what they like, ignoring that proper build up should be character development not stupid scenes of Sophia's shirt ripping constantly.

I wonder if these people actually read the game or if they just skipped through it, saw there wasn't much nudity and came straight here to exalt it's brilliance. If you have defenses for the poor character development and strange coincidences with ripping clothes and landing on dicks, let me hear it. I'm interested.

 

[Ionascu]

The game is in the beginning, but what I see is a masterpiece. Especially compared to the rest of porn games.

Can't believe this game is at beginning after 9 months... with this pace, it will still be the beginning after 9 more. As the game being a masterpiece, i don't know, you make the word "masterpiece" to seem so underrated. Like in building a house, now is just the foundation... you can't say what a beautiful house..

 

[UncleVT]

Can't believe this game is at beginning after 9 months... with this pace, it will still be the beginning after 9 more.

So, the game isn't in the beginning...

As the game being a masterpiece, i don't know, you make the word "masterpiece" to seem so underrated. Like in building a house, now is just the foundation... you can't say what a beautiful house..

Oh, seems the game is in the beginning...

 

[Gomly1980]

So, the game isn't in the beginning...

Oh, seems the game is in the beggining...

I noticed the massive contradiction too.

You beat me to it.
