Ren'Py Academy: Live! [v0.09 Alpha] [passhonQ]

[passhonQ]

Nope, most netorare has no cheating. It's not cheating if the love interest didn't even want to do it. If your lover got raped, would you say they cheated on you? It's silly.
Besides, ambiguous permission isn't cheating-cheating, it's "play" cheating. It's a subgenre of sharing. The scenario I described is NTS.
I don't blame you for the confusion, I should have said NTS but said NTR instead.

I get your point about the cheating, and that was Haruka's first attempt. She knew MC would be watching, gave it a try, and failed miserably. MC had to step in and give her a little help by making her do it for his enjoyment, and of course to give his 'blessing' on the attempt.

One thing that annoys me about the game is this management system that has some statistics that I don't understand exactly how it works and how I can increase them. An example of this is my views there, which are always very low even though I make several different choices to increase them. Every time the week ends, they go down instead of increasing. Another thing is this satisfaction of the council that keeps falling even though I make choices to increase it. They fall mainly when a week ends. I really don't understand the need for certain statistics to keep falling when a week ends instead of increasing or remaining stable. In general, this statistic system is confusing and even hinders the game experience because instead of the player just enjoying the story and the scenes, they are worried about the rise or fall of a certain statistic. (There is a stat in the game that I don't know what it is for, but it doesn't seem like a good thing to me. It's called external pressure or something like that, and it's only going up. If it's what I think it is, it will end badly for me in the end.)

Will people ever read before posting? Less than a dozen posts ago, somebody complained about the viewer numbers bug, and the developer acknowledged the problem and said they are working on fixing this for the next release.

nonsense, I noticed this about 3 updates ago and only now I decided to talk about it, besides that another thing that is happening is that the council's satisfaction is falling every weekend, even if they try to increase it, it always drops about 10 points, I don't think this is a bug because if it were it would have already been removed, if I didn't have these things then my progress in the game would be much greater because I've been playing this game for a while

The Board Satisfaction is supposed to go down every week. That is explained in-game.
It's supposed to represent the Board's desire for more perverted acts.

wow, but it's still hard to manage this. I'm having to keep picking up panties all the time so I don't let them fall too much because I don't know what might happen if this gets to 0, and look, I've already done a lot of perverted things. I'm thinking more and more about just showing the middle finger to this council and playing it my way and letting this get to 0. (Well, maybe I'll do that and in the meantime, collect a lot of panties, then when I need them to lower the process, I'll just increase it with the panties. It's a shame I only came to think about this now

Well... Yeah, that's the main conflict of the game.
Ideally, you should be able to keep the Board Satisfaction high if you choose sex acts during story events and manage to fulfill the bounties (Which will be significantly expanded on the next update).

The only way I can think of that you'd be having trouble keeping it high is if you chose the 'Endless' option after the end of update screen, which in this case, it does break the game's balance and there isn't enough events to keep it steady. That's why there's a warning on screen before selecting endless mode.

Ntr tag needed, although it is choice based but the game always suggest and hint it

There is no Netorase tag on F95. Swinging is the closest to it and it's there.

Could be bugged. I did have viewership 4000 in the previous update and then at the end of the week after updating it was 0.
It can be hard to keep board satisfaction up if viewership always resets each week. I figured it was a one-time thing from updating the game, but maybe it's more present of an issue than I thought

Yeah, I started a new game and sped through the first week

Something may be bugged here that is going to make the game harder. I guess it wasn't just on updating
And that's before weekly decay, which further reduces viewership after that

Wow what a find. Amazing game. Easily in my top 20 here on F95
Good luck to the dev.

The only issue Im having is not knowing what exactly am I supposed to do to unlock all scenes and scenarios.
The game does a really good job of explaining the all the stats and the overall idea of the work you have to do.
But atleast for me there is severe lack of knowing what to exactly do to actually unlock all scenes with the girls. Do I need to have specific values on the girls and put them in specific scenario to unlock another scene? Do I need to have specific stats (student trust, perversion level etc) to unlock some scenes? Are there different combinations of said stats?
Some ingame guide that tells me what stats can unlock what scenes would make me not play the game "blindly".

Where did you get Installer.exe in the zip file? As far as I can tell, it should be renpy exe file not an installer. You might've clicked an ad. Here is the exe name from Pixeldrain.

Did the cheat code change? Says incorect code when I put it in.

Someone said a page or two ago that the new code is 8008

That did it. Thanks.

Game is really solid but would probably be a lot better with 90% of the management stuff cut out. The level in quality between the VN stuff and the generic sandbox/management stuff is pretty extreme. I understand the gameplay is WIP but tbh I can't rly see it being good even when fully complete.

 

[Angelcrush]

A beautyful update indeed !

I'm honestly astonished at how well you manage to implement the events for the girls. All feel unique and make sense.

I was taken aback, at the person in the Emi event. I pictured her with an ugly fat man in a hotel room, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense, that it was this person. Curious to see where this will lead.

I'm not sure why you didn't implement a way to cop out at the last second though, since that was possible at other points in the story. We did also have the ability to lie in a few choices before, why not go back on your word and cancel the whole thing, when you realise who it is. I guess I don't vibe with the whole "routes" thing, I'd rather make individuell decissions.

I think it could be interesting, to try and appease the board somewhat, but still be aware that they are using you and get back at them somehow. For an example, kind of giving them what they want, but not exactly how they want it.
I know you are already doing that, but I wish for even more of that. Especially if you can still share the girls AND somewhat work against the board. For how you would implement this, I have no idea tbh haha.
Maybe give us a greater incentive to also want to appease the student side at the same time ? I don't know...

What I also would like to see more of, is romantism. I feel like you should have the choice, to make the relationships with the girls more lovey-dovey even in the sharing route. Only then, the sharing really hits as hard, I think >.<
I get why you would hold back with it though, since that would be the whole appeal of playing the no sharing route. Then again, this IS a game all about sharing, so I'm unsure if scraping the routes alltogether, wouldn't be the better choice here. But that's your decission, I hope one can follow my though process behind this idea at least.


Either way, this was really really hot, same goes for Ayumi, Miu and Haruka. So good job!
These where just my thoughts about the game so far and you are free to do with them whatever you want passhonQ
I like how it's shaping up and how it fits well into the narrative. Hyped for more gameplay in the next update.
Cheers and now we wait.

Yea, I was surprised too back when this update came out, the option would be nice but I guess it would complicate things.
