VN Ren'Py Adult Learner [v0.02] [AlphaB]

[Alpha_B]

Alpha_B What a great premise for a game. This is a story, so I understand that realism is not important, but..... Having the protagonist work full time and go to college full time and join a club? It seems like you have made the protagonist so busy that making time to develop relationships is impossible. Also you seem intent on writing a "nice" story, which is great. May I suggest a slight change that will be possible because it is so early in the story. Have one of the MC's siblings fund the college program for the MC as payback for his earlier sacrifice. That is a nice touch and also gives the MC time to develop relationships. I would suggest a younger brother being a source of the funds or else you will have a whole bunch of people wanting a relationship with the sister (HAHA). Have a younger brother, who is now around 38 years old and is a surgeon or something like that, so he has more than enough money to pay the MC's way and provide living expenses. You can have the company the MC worked for give him a sabbatical to take his college diploma. That way the MC still has a company to visit and enough money to fund everything as well as time .

Or just ignore this as it is your story to tell. Good luck with your project.

Thanks. That’s a good observation on time management. I was going with the I’m totally burnt out and not making good decisions route so this may be the premise to get out of that loop, hmm.

In my mind I was picturing that there was a bigger gap between MCs siblings as they were 10 years younger so he really was forced to take care of them. Of course my original premise was that the MC was 50 years old so maybe that’s why.

You play as a man who gave up his college dreams to care for his family. Now, decades later, he returns to campus.

Maybe there is a simple way to solve that issue: the mc is an insurance adjuster (or something like that) with enough savings to afford the college. In fact jobs like insurance adjuster don't have a strictly defined working hours, since (at least in my country) they are self-employed workers, who are contacted by the insurance agencies when they need them. In this way the mc can decide when and how much work, in order to go to college, pay all his bills and have some free time for himself.
But unfortunately I haven't still played the game, so I don't know if my idea is compatible with the script of the story.

So this is basically Back to School: Deluxe Edition, where instead of ramen and Red Bull, the MC is powered entirely by back pain and life regrets

Hello. how much freedom of choice? Monogamy route possible?

Well I guess there could be a Triple Lindy…add to notes.

Not sure yet, but maybe possible. I guess it would be turning down every opportunity.

Ok, thanks for answer. Will wait until game is finished before trying it, when it will be definitely known. Better not to risk liking game now and then to be pissed off later if MC is eventually forced into sex with XYZ chick.

Might be interesting. Are there any previews of what the milf(s) will look like?
The girls look really cute.

Thx
Cheers

The AI generated images make this look very static to me. I wonder how you'll manage that issue.

That's a great question. I have an idea for thematic October release that may switch things up. Any suggestions appreciated.

Well, what can I say? She isn't really "milfy", on the other way around she seems more a 20/25 years old girl.
I would suggest you to create a characret moore similar to Laura or Sam (if i remember correctly the name of this last character) from City Of Dreams, since they seems more mature.

But maybe your milf had a child when she was sixteen years old, so she is more milf than Laura and Sam; who knows?

I have her down as 37. So yes on the younger side. There is a backstory that goes along with the entire plot.

 

[Idontplay]

I have just played the game, but in my opinion she seems more the twins older sister than the mother. Anyway the premise is interesting.

I have to agree that character really doesn't look like anywhere near 37. That's more of a face of someone who is barely into 20's.

It's mostly the eye size that skews things here. Actual adults, even in the pseudo-anime style, have their eyes narrower and smaller, compared to teens and especially children. Here, the face is basically the same as the girls half the supposed "milf's" age.

In my experience adding actual "adult woman" to the ai prompts and excluding stuff like "teen" and "young girl" can help in this regard.

Thank you for playing the game. Let me work on it some more. I will try to introduce the back story earlier. Hoping this will create a greater contrast when she was younger and now.
