VN - Ren'Py - Agent Sherine [v0.1] [S&V]

Technically an innovative game. But it's just a sign of the times, like the transition of cinema to color film. The presence of animation does not indicate the quality of the final product. Unfortunately, we have the usual lies. The tags indicate a female protagonist, but the pov here is either male or none, and the whole story about the FBI and CIA is very far from female-centered. This story is similar to those made up by teenagers from third world countries about life in the US, which they only know from the popular TV series of their childhood. Further proof of this is the “black” guy, with European facial features. Lol. This is typical of what I was talking about above. The author probably lives in a country where no one has ever seen black people. But the problem is even deeper than that. The tags suggest that this is a WOMAN'S game. So male characters should be given at least minimal sculpting. But this game was created by a guy who is either heterosexual or ashamed of his homosexuality, so the men in it are not beautiful. Except for that fat sugar daddy in the jacket. He wasn't bad. I can predict that the dicks of the guys will be typical - small-headed and thin - because a straight dev believes that women only like dicks in men, but he couldn't let someone have a bigger dick than this teenager, even if he tried. So this game is another one of my typical disappointments.

Very innovative for sure. Really looks stunning. If this a glimpse into the future of these games, I can't wait!

However, there are a number of issues that hopefully get fixed.

1- The writing was pretty poor, even unintentionally funny at times.
2- The AI voices sounded too robotic on most of the characters.
3- Certain words were not pronounced correctly, especially - MI6, ME6 and M16..
4- If the FBI agent is the MCs sister, why does she have a British accent ?
5- I found the black screen popping in between most dialogue scenes to be very distracting.
6- The characters voice volumes were inconsistent. Some were very hard to hear.

Best of luck with this project. Very impressive.

So far it is 5 starts for me. Although it is only 30min of game play, it brings something new to the market and gives example in what dirrection visual novel can go. I do realize that AI is not perfect right now. But even with all troubles this game shows that it is possible.
