VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.220] [Lust & Passion]

[hzjujk]

I could see him combining the events in the morning on the next P.D. but the other's IDK...

Morning
1. Literature Lesson (4th Task)
Bonus Scene - Most Likely "The 1st Comfortable Solution"
2. Don Morello -Optional

We see many things in the same way, but we still have different perspectives. But that's fine with me because it will lead to a lot of interesting discussions with new updates to the story.

What excites me every time is the word "optional" in connection with the Morello event. Why is it optional? It would mean that this event will have no influence on the main story and / or that another side path will be opened. I just can't think of anything useful. Why all this effort for rendering the event when L&P ends this pafd anyway?

 

[hzjujk]

They are in the morning, but he's going to be event-based driven updates. So if he keeps true to that, then one update would be Aiden and the next would be Don Morello unless he combines them because of how short they could possibly be.

0.150 will be the last update in the old format. After this update is finished I will start working on a Part II, where some new stuff will be available. Also a gallery mode. But I want to include some to this last version too (and some other tiny improvements), since it will be the last update of Part I. In Part II of the game, the updates will be available after every event is finished. You won't need to download the whole game again and again (it will be much smaller of size anyway). You'll just have to click on the update button in the menu and only the new stuff will be added to your older version.

It's not time of day, but event-based as he said in his quote. He may clarify this later.

The whining about too long time intervals between the updates will shift to the whining about too small updates. I can already hear it: What the fuck, wait 6 weeks for 1 minute of playing time ".

The optional comes into play because you could of dragged Liam home and so the debt never happened and also Sophia has had to make certain choices before hand.
Another thing is that I think that Alyssa could play a role in sorting out Bennett or Aiden.

Oh, ok, that would be a very simple explanation.

That's why it's not a viable option. IMO, the proper fix would be to cut down on the supporting cast in the novel. Which, in turn, would cut some scenes short and reduce the amount of CS/Renders he needs. As long as he has 79+ characters interacting with Sophia, from one-and-done to LI's and Lust characters, he will have the same amount or more scenes to create. Plus, as an example, he still has the Patricia horse-riding scene, which will be a new location, which means brand new areas to develop, including trail riding or whatever he has planned.

Alright, I see that you have edited this post with more text. So let me respond in kind. I will put my post behind a filter/spoiler this time.

Spoiler: Sophia/Dylan - PD 12 Afternoon Scene

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If the announcement was made later, it doesn't matter. He has his story laid out. We don't know that the twist will happen, he knows. He is not writing the story on a whim.

Do you know this for a fact? Have you seen his script or outline for the entire story? I would be very surprised if you have seen it. He is editing his story all the time as he had stated he does this constantly. This update is a prime example as he had to add text to Aiden's event because he increase it. So yes, he is writing or rewriting his story on a whim as you would say.

I think we all know he is working from an outline now, at best. He works the scenes artistically for his draft, outline, internal vision (As he removes the superfluous marble from his block to find his Aphrodite inside.). The actual narrative and dialogue follow. It makes no sense for the amount of translation time otherwise. This also allows him the time to make changes as well.

It is also a self imposed time crunch as he has a very minimal time to complete this and no real justification of process for any delays. If it was already written it would be done now, not over the last ten or so days of the update. Just imagine how this will play out as he goes to events. GingerSweetGirl is spot on, IMO, for a disjointed result.

he takes christmas off from december 20th to january 7th.

Which I think is completely reasonable.

We were always bored to tears when I flew in the UK as Bank Holiday season came upon us. Lots of ground training events, followed by more ground training, by paperwork drills, and the occasional simulator. Some were able to get a holiday as well but, too few because of manning requirements.

You'd only really drag him home if you want to go the boring GW route.

I hope that the story will not be reduced to one main route. The overall narrative is too interesting for me for that.
The only thing that bothers me about the event-based updates is that even if I have the inner discipline to wait two or three updates and only then continue playing the game, I would have to leave this forum because I would then learn everything through spoilers, even without playing .

Don't dismiss the GW route as boring

I am also not too keen on event based updates and I think that it could kill off a lot of chatter about the game,depending on who was in the update.
I can also see people complaining about "O no not another update with him/her again" based on the number of events that certain characters have

I did a GW run-through last week and it was totally boring for me, having played the filthy route before, I could see how much got missed out if you just took all the GW decisions. There are some good scenes you miss if you do certain GW options, wait for Dylan to finish showering to use the toilet means you miss a load of options later in the game, have sex with Liam and you miss other good scenes as well, there just doesn't seem to be anything that comes out of playing the Good Wife.

Too early in the GW route but it will get interesting as with everything in this game patience is needed

Well, that would happen in this update for Sophia/Dylan fans if they only follow them. Keep in mind, I'm only talking about Sophia/Dylan, not Dylan/Ellie. A reader would most likely have to wait for a year+ to see Sophia/Dylan again when Aiden and Sam will see her first again after coming off major events. So I would expect complaints.

P.D. 12
Afternoon
Aiden
Dylan

Evening
Sam

P.D. 13
Morning
Aiden

Noon
Nothing

Afternoon
Sam
Sophia/Claire/Marie/Dylan - I think this is more about Dylan/Marie or Sophia/Marie

Evening
Dylan

Sometimes I wonder if he was better off putting his novel in a comic format like Pegasus Smith and Daval. He would probably have an easier time developing the novel.

Doesn't that take away the whole choice part of the VN though? The reason I like this particular VN so much is because we get to choose how far Sophia will go, I don't want her with Sam or Aiden so she wont be, but in comic format she is with everyone if you like it or not. Easier to make sure but easier doen't mean better.

It would take away all choices, and he would have to choose the story path or have people vote. For example, the Patreon Members would choose if Sophia has sex with The Mail Man or not. But the question was, would it be easier for him since it looks like he has no intentions of narrow the number of characters he needs to tell the story he has written.

I think it would cut down on his CS/Rendering time quite a bit.

This variability is one of the main features of this game, given that it implements absolutely all the fetishes related to the topic of milf, you can just play in different ways without playing what you don't like.
