VN Ren'Py A Wife's Life [v0.9.0] [Kerosine_NTR]

[ItsNotUs]

Well that's why you see so many passionate people here. It's anyone's guess really. Confusion rules.
But the code says if you piss off Chris he fucks your MC's life up. If you don't something else happens.
Samuil is gonna do his thing no matter what. And Rick only goes after the wife if the MC pisses off Chris.
The FMC is trying to solve the intimacy problems in her marriage brought on by the move. Autumn is being
an asshole about that because she and the MC don't get along. There are two Autumn in the story, you might
have noticed. The one constantly sending the FMC BBC videos and trying to get her to cheat and the one that
is supportive of the FMC and not trying to make her cheat. It's all those plot holes and inconsistencies that are
causing all these debates. Under it all there is a potentially good story here. And it's very well put together.
There just isn't enough Vanna Bardot footage to cover what the story pushes.

That's why I'm here. I'd love to love this, and I'm considering modding it as a passion project it to clean it up.
But I'd rather be friendly with Kerosine and not have him resent me for it haha. It is HIS story.
So yeah, that's why this chica is here discussing this. I'm a modder as well as a content creator hahaha

There is a lot of logic in your answers and i understand everything, but why after reading this i have even more questions!

Why did the dev himself say that? - "Sorry, there is an error in my code and counting NTR, corruption, cheting, etc. points is it not going right and why is this causing the MC behavior to become illogical!"

 

[Nafig]

and the one that is supportive of the FMC and not trying to make her cheat.

Give a real example from the story of such Autumn. I have not seen dialogues where she dissuades "wife" from cheating, she always pushes her to cheat. Autumn sent "wife" to work in a migrant camp, she knows all the working conditions, this in your opinion is "not pushing to cheat".

 

[Nafig]

Took a quick look through the code, the issue is the "something else" that happens has no impact on the direction of the story at all. There is no "something else" path, just an altered conversation squeezed inbetween before it goes back to as no choice were ever made.

Those alternate pathes you are bringing up all the time and refering to as "just broken" aren't in the game at all, and by how the steps are labeled, aren't meant to get implmented at all.

Agreed.
Replacing letters does not affect events in any way. There are no "forgotten or broken" variables, the author never talks about script errors.

 

[torkenstiem]

Their financial situation isn't bad, and the husband's job isn't very important either! So, the wife's affair with Chris indicates her being a slut. The developer could have prevented damaging the wife's personality by emphasizing the importance of the husband's job and introducing their dire economic conditions

Apparently, she felt like it was important enough. It was also emphasized, that she didn't want to have to depend on him for everything. That's why she took the job at the camp, plus she would be helping "those poor refugees".

Can anybody help me with the 0.5.5 update for mac? much appreciated

 

[Dmob_6438]

Yeah I think I’m done with this game, I honestly can’t take the MC being an absolute moron. He knows that his wife is cheating on him with Samuel, Chris, Rick and even Jeremy and he still wouldn’t to believe it when he clearly has photos and vids of her getting fucked by them. In my opinion I would rather divorce the wife and been with the secretary. But I’m done, this is going to be my last time commenting on this thread and playing this game as well

 

[Silken the Rocket Girl]

So how do you get the path where wife has set with Rick after Chris sends him video of Mc having set with Katherine

You get the cheating with Rick path by having a romance (and sex) with Katherine. You avoid it by not
doing that. In the end it's probably best not to any way as things turn out but if you think with your dick
hind sight is kinda 20/20. I think that's how that phrase goes.

edit: did some google search based on that "stepsis_photo_1.jpg" from the image folder, turns out her name is

You must be registered to see the links

and is an Instagram model with some selfies and workout videos, no nude or pornographic content.
For any content past clothed selfies the dev has to rely on just similar looking models for future scenes with the MC's sister.

Well that would be the incomplete part of everything I've said. As well as broken pathing.
Not being there equals incomplete and/or broken hahaha It could have been intended and forgotten,
intended and abandoned, intended but still in development. But it was clearly at some point intended.
It's also a pretty quick and easy fix haha

Well, you can't properly rate a product on what it was/is intended to be, only for what and how it is.

It's like you are trying to sell us a car without a steering wheel, but telling us that it's not an issue because there is no need for changing directions because we can look out of the left and right window, and it's okay to just imagine the stuff that might be behind those mountains we won't be able to drive to.
Oh, and the radio is only playing annoying songs extra loud and can't be turned off, but it's nothing to complain about because you just don't have to listen to the music.

If the car's intention was to give you a pleasent journey you wouldn't give it a high rating if it's only option is to drive straight on a bumpy road without being able to evade potholes.

How long did it take you to think this up? Cos it makes no sense.
Car with no steering wheel? Try horse with two heads. One facing forward and one facing backward.
You try and make sense of it but fuck if you know what to do with it. It's just there. It exists.
Chewing it's oats at both ends. How does that thing even take a shit? I dunno. It doesn't know.
Are we even supposed to know? Who can predict things like this? They just happen.
And in the end you're stuck with a useless horse, doing useless things.

 

[huddlestonkeith33]

Here's what I seen playing new update he's fighting from turning into cuckold

 

[huddlestonkeith33]

But what I don't get is why wife denies cheating on him
And why he didn't show her the evidence

Your response to my post makes no sense at all, my anology was aiming at how you are telling people everything is fine because certain parts are missing but are intented to be there therefore people shouldn't have a reason to complain.

Some might think you are referring to yourself with that horse reference, definitely not me, so i'll just act like i haven't seen it.

I'm not telling people things are fine. That's all in your head.
I'm telling people that, at the core of this there is a system. And that system is supposed
to lead to alternate paths and dialogue. And that is why you have contradictory events going
that players are confused about. Things like what huddlestonkeith33 just asked about.
Why does this happen when that happens? Why doesn't the MC do this when this happens?
Why does she deny this when that happens? It's a horse with two fucking heads.

And going around telling people, "oh I looked at the code and I don't see it" trying to act like
somehow I'm misleading or in the wrong is stupid. I wouldn't tell people something that doesn't
exist or make shit up. Especially when I'm looking to fix the problems that already exist and not
rewrite the thing. And unlike others I have straight up shown my receipts over and over and over.

And still people want to argue it. Kerosine_NTR is right. This shit isn't going to get any better so
No matter how much you debate or complain. And coming at me does no good cos I'm wiling to
patch this thing up. So yeah, the horse with two heads is the better analogy. Like it, or not.

 

[Urfin jus]

Truth is not born in arguments, only hostility is born in them. Truth is born in discussions. When a discussion turns into an argument, the conversation must be stopped. Because when a person starts arguing, it means that he is no longer interested in the truth, but in his own ambitions.

I'm talking about posts like this:

It's all in the game code. There is both an NTR and Relationship system in place. And for most
of the story it's active. What your MC does accumulates points in this system. These points effect
the story in various ways. The Wife has both an NTR and Cheating path. So does Jenaveve.
The MC is capable of having a sexual relationship with Katherine. The more you indulge in that
the more points you get. The more points you get changes the story by opening up a new path.
If Mc has such and such relationship points go to such and such path. This effects things later in
the story. Some of those paths are active, some aren't. Some are incomplete.
Currently I have Zero Cheating points and Zero NTR points for my wife character. My MC has Zero
Relationship points with Katherine and Jenaveve and Zero NTR points with Jenaveve.
Because of this my FMC behaves a bit different than a lot of you have said yours behaves.
My MC hubby is still an idiot, but not as much as some of yours is.

As an example:
If your katherine romance points are 1, you get this exchange:

Katherine: "I hope it's not because of what happened between us"
MC: "No"
Katherine: "Or are you one of those guys who don't fuck the same girl more than once?"
MC: "Hah, No, I'm not like that"
Katherine: "Good, How much work do you still have to do?"

If you don't have romance points with her, that exchange doesn't happen.

As another example, if you fuck Katherine, Chris sends Rick the video of you doing it out of revenge.
He told you not to mess with her and if you do he WILL know. And he WILL make you suffer for it.
If he gives Rick the evidence, Rick will show the FMC at the cafe. She will get pissed at the MC and fuck Rick.
Consequences haha
My FMC rejects Rick because he doesn't have the evidence that my Hubby had an affair with Katherine.
Because he didn't. Kerosine doesn't have to say anything. It's all in his code.

The MC doesn't behave diffrent, nor do other characters beside those 2-3 scenes that happen right after a choice and doesn't change anything about the story and how everybody acts the next day, there aren't different paths in the code.
And i didn't came across any inactive paths in the code.

The thing that makes the poeple upset (beside the way the MC is written) is that those choices act like they are importan and might give the story a different direction, but they have no overall impact and leave the players just confused. It makes it just worse if a system is in place and accumulates points but doesn't effect the story.
Based on the current code it's just a Kinetic Novel with bonus scenes.
