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

[Tor7]

I have to say this is an awesome VN. I just completed ep 3 and it's my first time running through the game. I laughed out loud several times and I really REALLY wanted to demolish Peter. Sadly, my rational mind said no. I'll definitely do another play through where I actually do demolish him. Looking forward to that. I am having a really hard time between Megan and Melissa. Personally, I am more drawn to Melissa, but for this first run through, I'm going to follow the Megan route, although I haven't rejected Melissa just yet. Next play through I will definitely go with Melissa (at least that's the plan so far.)

Anyways, just wanted to say I'm very excited to see where this game is going and mad props to DrPinkCake on creating such a well written and heartfelt game. Thank you!

Just don't read this thread till you're done the game.

As JETracktor said, you should stay off the thread until you finish your route. Too many spoilers can ruin the experience. Come back and share your thoughts when you finish.

The plot is fantastic! It's a shame you weren't able to save them both.

 

[Tor7]

Damn. This game is awful*. I'm on the verge of tears!!!!! Damn. Lost everything. Everyone. Well, not true, but damn close to it.

AND YOU PEOPLE THAT JUST PUT THE DAMN SPOILERS WITHOUT THE TAG SHOULD BE ASHAMED! (I saw the main spoiler when I downloaded the game, after that I did my best not to read any messages when I posted my first comment about how amazing it was.)

*It's awful in how it turns out, based on MY choices. Hella great job with the story. So sad now. Going to switch the main spoiler choice and see how that works. Switching to what I actually wanted. Damn this game is so good.

I've only done the Megan route (minus one time when I was curious about Melissa's) and doing both routes initially screwed me up mentally and emotionally for several days. I mean, a grown, middle-aged man crying over a VN. I couldn't believe it. Every once in a while I pick it up and run through it with Megan, still stings a bit each time.

You warned me about this game. Totally messed up right now. I had one early save at the Ana choice and that made the endings a little better, but yeah, I'm still on the verge of tears too.

While I've loved characters in other games, damn, this game...yeah, I need to go take a break to deal with this.

I certainly did warn you. I'm 46 for for about 5 days I was under my covers in an emotional wreck. When I was working for the Sports Authority, I knew a girl named Megan, she was the one true love of my life and I regret never telling her that. Maybe that's why this game screwed me up too; made me think of the past and what I missed out on.

But yes, this game will certainly fuck you up.

Yeah, sadly.

You can also regret telling her, I did that with two girls, both friendships ended badly.

Exactly. We worked so well together and were really good friends so I didn't want to ruin that. She knew I loved her because of what other co-workers told her, but never approached talking about it with me. Oh well. That was 12 years ago, but it still fucking stings

 

[piepizza]

First time I actually played a game on this site for the story. All of the decisions, reveals and connections to the characters brought some real emotion from me. Even though I'm 2 years late, very good game

 

[ciderapple]

Just don't get attached. come for the sex, and be ready for anyone to die anytime. it's much simpler that way. Devs can't mess with your feelings if you never get attached.

When it comes to this story, those are true words of wisdom.

 

[Master Duck79]

Acting Lessons is a great game I've finished last year all the girls routes but I dont think that I will be playing this game again it got me sooo sad man I remember thiking about the game for weeks and everytime I was thiking about it I was messed up Maybe I will play it again in the future and I salute those who play it over and over again they got balls

 

[Tor7]

smh. Different strokes for different folks, but...

Personally, I come to these games for the story, romance, to get attached. And I can tell you, this game affects me more than any of the others I've played.

My 2nd run through I tried to do a loyal to Melissa only run, but it doesn't seem like you can do that.

I just ran through another run, my 3rd unique run (unique being that I make major different choices early on with other characters.), and I still found myself falling for Melissa. I still found myself in near tears at the end.

I don't want an answer to this question, I'm just saying it....

DrPinkCake If you do any updates, I would honestly love to see a version where you aren't forced into dating Megan (I still have more runs to do, so maybe there is a dirtbag choice I have to make early game to stop that... but I haven't tried that yet.) I would LOVE to be able to have a relationship with only Melissa.

Liam never survives my runs. I always let him get worse. I just don't like the guy. He doesn't actually die, but you know it happens eventually.

Just finished the game. Man, the writing is good, characters do feel like a living, breathing persons. If you came for the sex stuff - Being a Dik is better, it's okay here, just not that great. And what's with constant desire of an author to bust my balls? I get that you need some drama, it's great and all, but it feels kinda undeserved. Both here, and in Dik - you get forced inside a candy shop, they tell you that everything here is free to grab, and then they try to make you feel bad for doing that. And yeah, constant cheating, both game are centered on it. You really just forced into situations where only choice you have is to cheat on someone. That works the first time, alright, but then it's gets old way too fast. Still, I've got my fun, all problems here are definitely not a deal breaker, one of the best novels I came across here

 

[aaaaaaaaaabaaaaaaaa]

they tell you that everything here is free to grab, and then they try to make you feel bad for doing that.

I don't know, I think DPK does a pretty decent job of warning you what to expect. I've only played to ch 4 in BaDIK, but that was enough to know that in both stories characters are pretty clear early on that they've cheated/been cheated on and it was NOT okay, so it makes sense that if you cheat on them in the middle of the story, they won't be okay with it. I think it's more the F95 norm is to expect that your goal is just to get with as many of the girls as often as you can, so DPK's stories are definitely a deviation from that. I feel like that makes his stories a bit more realistic in a sense (ofc still way overdramatized compared to what most people go through irl, but still), and I think that is really what his goal is. And I think it's part of what makes his stories so good and so powerful.

Mark, if she single then its never too late... I actually did what I Wanted, and that turned out to be both AMAZING, and amazingly sad. The amazing part was finding her in the first place and getting a taste of what life could be like with her...

The sad part came when I had to leave the country, and ya she was well... 'unavailible' to come with me
This was some time ago, and if I could have, I would have persued her to ends of the planet...

Living with regret is like chewing on gravel and pretending its bubble gum... so what if its been 12 years...

Much like this vn shows us... some girls show up on our doorsteps... are you going to invite Megan into ur life? or are you going to be a heartless fuck and turn her away?

It all comes down to choice... Who will you choose? Megan? Mel? a rl version of either?
