VN Ren'Py Completed Acting Lessons [v1.0.2] [DrPinkCake]

[Joop501]

Dus ik wil dit spel eens proberen, maar ik heb nogal een probleem. Het spel bevriest/crasht letterlijk elke 10 minuten en het maakt het voor mij onspeelbaar. Ik heb meer renpy-games gespeeld en heb dit probleem tot nu toe nooit gehad, kan ik iets doen? Ik heb geprobeerd om van render te wisselen, maar bevriest nog steeds heel vaak

So i want it to give this game a try but i have quite a problem. The game freeze/crash every literally 10 mins and it make it unplayable to me. I played more renpy games and never had this problem until now, is there anything i can do please? I tried switch renders but still freezing very often

the first thing I'd do is just redownload it, because it could be corrupt.

The thing is i redownload the game like 3 times and still the same so idk but i think i found maybe bitt weird workaround. When game (luckily doesnt happen too often after 1st episode) freeze i just hit alt+enter to go off fullscreen and after couple seconds the game unfreeze without crashing ‍

don't fuck the nurse

don't fuck the nurse

Makes no difference. I tried to avoid her as much as possible in a run but it went (obviusly) in the same direction. Al lest you feel less responsible. The first time i genuinely wanted to see to pursuit her. Geee..

It sucks because in the beginning she seems like the only authentic/normal character. No melodramatic introduction, or relationship, felt like the kind of date you would have in the real world, which is pretty rare in these games(good to have some variety). Of course though, that was only temporary......

Indeed. She was carefully built to let your guard down. Comely but not breathtaking, nice and fun, clearly interested but not suffucating, the game doesn't push you heavy handedly toward her like other titles i won't mention, apparently no string attached, early in the game. She feel like an enjoyable safe fuck. Indeed .

Honestly a game that makes you truly feel attached even to the male support character says tons about the quality of the writing.

Hey guys, why did the devs make a flashback with Anna after sex scene with Melissa?
There is also a flashback with Rena-Anna during acting lessons
And only with Megan we don't have flashbacks about Anna. (maybe i'm wrong and forgot something)

There is same flashback with Megan during their date in restaurant.
As therapist later suggested it was just some kind of deja vu.

I don't think she was as carefully built as she seems. Feels like if this was always the plan the character would have had a more constant presence throughout the game, but she disappears for a good few chapters and then returns with a very different personality, which could work internal logic wise, but just feels rushed narratively. I think she was probably just another option, then DPC decided she would work for the climax and repurposed her for that.

Yea Liam was pretty awesome, you could tell DPC thought a lot about the challenge of having a Male Best Friend in the game that both didn't feel like a romantic threat to the player, and was somebody we wanted to engage with.

Yes Megan is the presented as the "right" choice, hence why the game is written around her romance, and she's forced on you, while others you usually have to deal with obstacles, or can reject. Though i think the dev kind of changed their mind on this towards the end and wanted Melissa to also be another "right" choice(that's probably why the penuptulate decision is about choosing either person). Nonetheless Megan has the "best ending", with aspects of her ending being split between Mel and Rena, which honestly felt pretty tacky as i think 2/3 endings don't do the character's arcs as much justice as it could have(Mel's feels most relevant to her character arc).

Thanks for the responses guys.
I wanted to choose Melissa but this scene made me feel like my choice was wrong
If the flashback was in another scene it would be nice and wouldn't make me think about my choice

Dr P wrote the whole story (the plot at least) before he started creating the game, so Leah's arc didn't change as he went along. You are missing some details about Leah, like when she raped Jonas while he was unconscious in the hospital very early in the story, and it was her watching Jonas, Megan and Melissa through the window.

 

[Mr. Muscles]

Maybe at one point, this game could be "remade" and remove Megan being forced upon the MC. Regardless, fantastic game.

Didn't miss anything, the game explains all that to you pretty explicitly. If DPC did have Leah's arc planned out, they did a pretty terrible job implementing it. She dissapears for a fair amount of the narrative, and has a lack of presence, then when her twist is revealed, the explanation feels heavy handed, and there's a serious lack of impact as we barely know her. Hell you could replace Leah as the villain with Mel's step-father and it would still work, that highlights how poor her arc was executed.

Would have been much better had she'd known Jonah for years, and was a close friend much like Liam, with her arc mirroring Jonah's, while also playing a kind of "devil on his shoulder" role, and him finally "overcoming" her would be part of his process of facing his pain, harkening to the themes of the game. This would also give the twist impact as she would be a "holmie" to the player and make the betrayal sting really hard. She felt less like an actual "person" oriented in the world, and more like a "character" created for the twist.

Maybe at one point, this game could be "remade" and remove Megan being forced upon the MC. Regardless, fantastic game.

Should play Being A Dik. Pretty much confronts many of the issues with this game.
