VN Ren'Py Completed Alexandra [v1.0] [PTOLEMY]

[ptahn]

Like anyone else I had to see how it would play out and it worked better than I expected. I was a bit harsh at first and overreacted. It worked out well and was the twist the story needed. As before the story was too sweet and not enough conflict.

I'm sorry, I've been busy and have not had the time to chat. As I recall when you were not defending HS back in late August early September; not only were you a bit harsh, you specifically said that you needed a break from Ptolemy. After that comment, you seemed to disappear from the forum. Now you're telling us how great HS is and how Ptolemy is the Ernest Hemingway of porn. From the outside looking in, it kind of seems like you may be trying to get back in his good graces. You mention that you are not currently working with him, is it because you are busy or because he got wind of your comments? I hope that is really because you are busy because I played your initial release of Lexi and as I recall, I did like it. I've been waiting for an update. Maybe I'll give you the money I was giving to HS.

I have been thinking about donating to Alexandra again. I have not yet had the time to play the last update; but I was thinking that if nothing happened to Izzy when she went to the vending machine, I would donate. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I don't listen to Michael Jackson songs anymore; on the other I did not throw away my copy of TKMB when Harper Lee's prequel came out (although I had no wish tarnish my image of Atticus by reading it.) So I don't think it's probably fair to freeload here just because I hated what he did there. As of the previous update, I still liked this story.

This is just my opinion which I know a lot of you won't like but I wanted to write down how I feel about ptolm games:

Ptolmey is easily one of the most over hyped creator on this site. His writing style is derivative and boring but just because he writes long ass stories some people consider his porn games art (lol). His stories all share the exact same themes and setting, which revolve around a completely submissive and introvert MC while the main LI has to be an amazing extrovert whom bosses the MC around and is the "dominant figure" in the relationship. In all his games the MC is just a spectator, barely formulating any sentences, desires or any coherent thought and most of the time only speaks when spoken to. In all his games the MC is the awkward elephant in the room, while the girl captivates the audience and generally possess charisma and gravitas. Also the MC never initiates the relationship, it always has to be from the girl . The MC is just passive, never initiates any actions, and is just a responder to the advances of the girl whom responds to his in interests after humiliating him in schoolboy/school girl fashion. I think all his games are catered towards femdom fetish. It is either this or Ptolm has no idea how real relationships work because all of what he wrote reeks of all kinds of "M'lady" tropes. All his MCs reek of slothfulness and ineptitude and just exist.....for no reason.. There is no ambition, no drive, no goals. Nothing.

There is almost zero choices in his games, and the few that exist usually are at the end in order to influence some ending slides. There is false choices however, choices that end your game if you dare deviate from the script. Those false choices exist solely so that the game will not get the kinetic tag (which lowers number of players and viewers), which by all things considered it should be.

this and a couple other posts should be done in ratings i believe

So play something else.

One of the things that goes on in these discussions groups is a conversation about the pros and cons of stories, games, and developers. I don't think that it's fair to say "go play something else" when some one gives negative feedback. Some developers (not Ptolemy) read comments here to find ways to make their stories better or more profitable. Every one has a right to express their opinion even if it does not agree with yours or mine.

There is a difference between constructive feedback (which most devs like and even encourage) and flat out bitching about why you don't like it. Each to there own I suppose. Doesn't really matter here because as you said, Ptolemy doesn't come here.

I don't have the time right now, but I plan to reply to that post, so I am glad he made it here.

I think his feedback was fairly constructive. He points out specific elements in Ptolemy's stories that he does not like. I've had issues with Ptolemy as well. However, I do not agree with this gentleman's assessment of this story and look forward to responding when I have an adequate amount of time. I do support his right to say what he said.

i agree but as i stated , what the person typed should have been in the ratings post

I think that DrPinkCakes and Dark Silver are more over regarded than Ptolemy but then again I'm not as big a fan of DoD as a lot of people seem to be. I just think your timing is off as far as your complaint goes because it comes after the update when MC takes charge. It is also unfortunate that you chose this particular story to make this complaint. Since Alex is the boss's daughter (and mob boss at that), it makes sense that MC can't be aggressive in his pursuit of her. Without her initiating their relationship, MC would have to consider her off limits. Later when Alex guides MC, it also makes sense. Alex was raised in this mob family. She knows the players, she knows the rules; MC doesn't. He would be an idiot to disregard her advice.

As far as comparing real life relations to those in a porn game, I'm not sure what the point of that would be. I pretty sure that a real life Alex would not say have your affairs but don't tell me about them. Since that's where we are, I'll defend what we've got here. In my own relationships (and in MANY others of which I know), it is not uncommon to let the LI make decisions concerning things about which I care little. If she wants to decide what color sheets we get, I don't care. If she wants to decide where we eat, I can find something I like anywhere we go. We need to get a new TV, I have to say that going to be my decision. Where we go on vacation, we both decide. I think that in this game MC lets Alex have her away because he does not really care about what is being decided (except when he goes along with Alex because she is more knowledgeable about the subject.) When MC views the choices as important he takes a stand, as we saw in the last update.

I can't really comment on the effect of choices in this game. I used to play games with the goal to see every scene, to try every choice. Now I just want to make the choices I want to make and see where it takes me. I play this game totally loyal to Alex and Izzy so I am glad that I don't have to have relationships with the other women in the game. The only choice that I wish I did have would be to tell Alex that I have no interest in anyone but the two of them.

I'm not a Ptolemy fanboy, just check out any of my posts in the HS discussion. In this update, I think the scenario with Izzy was weak. She caused all that turmoil looking for ice cream one night and the next day goes off on her own to get cotton candy?! There's room for criticism, I just don't necessarily agree with yours. Thank's for listening (or not.)

Ok so i just started to play few days ago, i was there where alex and mc have sex for first time in the hotel. Once that scene is done, mc wakes up and after that like next scene it just goes dark. Than i tried a lot to play but that black screen just always came up.
I don't even know if I'm playing unofficial android or what (just downloaded it from apkgamer, because finding android here is hard and stuff so i download everything from there) but if anyone knows anything or what can you please help me?

If there isn't rough sex with Emma by the end of this I will be sorely disappointed

Does going full werewolf on her and leaving her head mounted on a pike count? 'Cause not getting that would leave me fairly disappointed...

Hit the poker game instead of letting Alex help you with the money for the dirty cop's cocaine buy.
