VN Ren'Py Completed Alive [v1.0] [CSkin Games]

[YogSothoth1982]

You can already skip them. (Hint: If you choose to take a shower first, you then can skip the minigame if you really hate it). A note: The minigames WILL affect the story, but it's not going to be in "terrible ending" territory if you skip it entirely, you'd need to make quite a few bad choices along the way in addition to that.

Basically, Showering is always required, so you don't get the option to progress until afterwards, but once you have minigames are skippable.

A note on minigames - I've toyed with the idea of adding a few more varied ones, but, as these, they'll always be optional. I may end up adding a way to skip them WITHOUT affecting the story, because I know some people really do hate them, but for now I've just left a way to skip them available, and I'll consider the future of it later on.

Unless the minigames are extraordinarily simple, I don't like them. That they affect the story ... is a resounding no to me. If in the future they don't have an impact on history, It's posible that I try the game (not sure, it depends on the number of LIs). In the meantime I guess I'll wait and find other.

Also, this will *NOT* be a harem game. (My next one I have planned is, but again, that's looking way way ahead.)

I guess then you can only have one ending with an LI.

I have a couple of questions:

1) How many LIs does the game have? I don't see more than one ending, so a high number of LIs makes the game lose interes from my point of view.

2) Can the game be ended with more than one LI?

3) Could you focus only on the LI (or LIs) with which you are interested in having the ending and romantically and sexually ignore ALL the others? I don't like that the MC has casual sex scenes, or that he sleeps with LIs or girls with whom he isn't going to establish a romantic relationship at the end of the game.

I'll answer some of these questions - 3 main ones in the game. I'll be more specific because it's not hidden information, and isn't exactly spoiler territory - 2 you've met, 1 you haven't yet.

There is 1 forced encounter in the early game - this was intentional, and that's as far as I'll go on that. While some events moving forward will be forced (such as going on a date with nikki) actual scenes/encounters with LIs or others, will become 100% optional going forward. Again this was planned, and intentional. For example, there are (I believe, I'm not looking at my notes so this is from memory) 4 encounters planned for the next release - but all of them are optional, depending on what choices you as a player decide to make.

Sorry Nikki haters - you can't skip your dinner date with her, but you can decline to take it any further after that than just a dinner date - if that's what you really want.

On a side note, from a dev perspective, I already know this is going to cause me a headache because of the way I planned everything out, there are going to be a fairly significant amount of branching paths once we approach the end of the game, which means either the last few updates of the game will either be relatively short, or take longer to produce, but that's looking pretty far ahead, so I'm not quite worried about that just yet.

I hope those answer satisfy, because that's as much info as I'm currently willing to give.

I guess if there are only 3 possible main LIs, I will try to see if I'm only interested in one of them. Could you tell us the name of the main LIs?

I am definitely already considering an option to have minigame NOT affect the story (since they're already skippable) - I underestimated how much ppl hate them lol. I definitely will NOT be removing them though. They'll always be skippable, but I may change how they affect the story (so they don't). As far as "forced choices" go - that will happen sometimes in this game. The more it progresses, the more divergent the paths become, and the more your choices matter, but the first 2 chapters are fairly linear - the majority of the choices you make now matter later on, but aren't apparent yet.

I totally understand that won't be for everyone, and hey if it's not for you, that's ok. I appreciate you giving it the time anyway.

Personally, I'm only interested in having the best possible ending with the LI of my choice. If not doing the minigames has negative consequences and I cannot have that ending, it would bother me because I'm not going to do the minigames.

For the rest, I'm going to try the game, but I will definitely decide if it interests me depending on how doing or not the minigames affects the possible endings (if it doesn't affect at all, then I will continue it, otherwise, I will possibly look for another game) .

 

[Look-see]

the lack of harem sucks of course.

but the forced content really threw me off knowing it isnt a harem game.

the minigames werent bad i just tend to avoid them since in a VN im not really in a gaming mood as much as i am in a reading mood.

not sure how i feel about the game in general. at the very least it aint bad.

 

[bruce555]

Yeha, even in my opinion having many LI without Harem is a bit of a stretch imho.

 

[YogSothoth1982]

I don't particularly like forcing the player to have sex with Gabriella or Tonya (depending on whether you go to the club or not). If the game was harem, I wouldn't mind this kind of scene too much. But really in a game without a harem I'm not attracted to them. On the other hand, can you finish the game by having a romantic relationship with Gabriella or Tonya? Not that I'm really interested in either of them (in fact I would rather have avoided them) it's curiosity.

For the rest, I don't know exactly what function mini-games have (they are for physical exercise, getting fit or something like that I suppose) with respect to the story, but I haven't even tried to see what they are like. I hope that, in next updates, in addition to being optional, they finally don't affect the story. Or that at least we can get the best possible ending with the LI we choose without having to do them.

Right now the only LI that interests me is the waitress (Mary, I think), so I would rather be able to avoid having sex scenes with the rest of LIs (and other characters).

 

[noping123]

I thought about this a bit... and I've decided I will make a small change based on feedback - a small one. Before I mention that let me say - Idc what feedback is like, I will *never* change anything important to the story. That's not happening. That said, the encounter with gaby isn't actually overtly important - so I will rework a small bit of that section, so that you have a choice to go home with her, or just leave her there and go home alone. If you goto the bar instead, the encounter with tonya WILL be forced still, that won't change - but it technically can be avoided just by going to the club. I'm making this change largely because it fits in with my future plans - A lot of things I have set up so that technically nothing is forced, but down certain paths some things are - for example (This is something I'm literally making up on the spot for sake of argument, so it's not spoiler territory) Lets say there's a scene with Mary, and before that you take mary out somewhere. But, you have the choice to take Mary out, or go do something else. If you take her out, you WILL be forced into the scene, but by doing something else, you can avoid it - that something else might be a date with Nikki instead. In the date with Nikki you would have a choice to continue the date or just go home and not continue to pursue her.

What I'm saying is, my plans going forward have always been to force certain things based on past decisions, but not lock you into anything 100%, so it only makes sense that I slightly re-work the first chapter to be like this as well. If you thread the needle and take the correct path, you could theoretically just never have sex in the game, ever once I make that small change - but it's very likely you'll be forced into some content based on your decisions. Basically if you ever actively pursue someone, it'll be difficult to avoid them entirely from then on - and in some cases, impossible - but you won't be in a position where you HAVE to choose one or the other, as long as you don't pursue anything with someone, there will always be a way out if you really want it.

The game is nice, I like the renders, the story seems interesting, and somewhat original. Your choices seem to have a meaningful impact. For intance going to the club or not. Some of the sex scenes offer different speeds, and angles, and you get to pick where to cum, so that is always a plus.

That being said, there are some things I dislike about the game:

1) The minigames... Hit a letter / arrow key to workout. Would be better if there was an option to skip this sort of thing. Going JJJJJJJJJJJJJ KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK MMMMMMMMMMM.... is a bit of a boner killer. Plus, this would be a bitch to anyone on an android. May even soft lock it.

2) The pacing seems way too.... Rushed. For example, we meet this Tanya girl at the bar. She literally goes from stranger, to "Lets fuck in the bathroom" in like... 9 seconds. I'm not saying it's a bad idea to be able to go fuck this chick in the bathroom right after meeting her... I'm just saying it would have made a lot more sense if it had been paced differently:

Current Pacing: Hi, you new here? blah blah blah I don't normally do this, but you are cute, hey lets go fuck in the bathroom you are kinda cute. It literally goes from introduction to blowjob in like under a minute.

More Desirable Pacing: Hey, you new here? Buy her a drink? yes/no chit chat a bit, maybe she was stood up by someone, or just had a break up, or she has some personal issue or whatever... talk a bit more, have anothre drink.... Maybe get to know her a litte... Chat with her over a few mintues and flirt a bit back and forth, then on with the bathroom scene.

I figured maybe it's just this girl is a huge slut, and the other girls will have a litlte slower pacing, nah when you go to the club and get the black chick instead, well... Pacing is just the same.

There isn't enough "Seduction" and "Flirtation" or "Build up" prior to the sex scenes.


TL;DR

If could skip minigames, and had more conversation and build up prior to fuckign girls it would be a vast improvmeent.

 

[noping123]

Lol. Thanks for that. But.... once again. You can skip minigames. I even uploaded a fix a few days ago adding a bit to the splash screen that tells you minigames exist, here's how to skip them.

As far as the pacing... well... 1 of them IS a major slut. The other.... spoilers.

Let's just say, his offhand comment about "This is easier than I remember" was placed there very intentionally.

But if skipping the minigames has negative consequences in the game, it's almost like forcing to play them. In my case I'm not going to do it (play them) whether they have negative consequences or not, but if not playing them prevented reaching the best possible ending with the LI I have chosen, then I would consider whether to play.

As far as the pacing... well... 1 of them IS a major slut. The other.... spoilers.

Let's just say, his offhand comment about "This is easier than I remember" was placed there very intentionally.

Personally, if you give the opportunity in the next update to go home without Gaby, I will gladly take it. Of course that means I have no intention of going to the bar to see Tanya (unless we are forced to do so in the future).

For now they both seem like sluts to me, neither seems like a LI to start a romance.

I used the compressed version, it may have been a pre patched version.

Here is what I meant by pacing:

A woman can remain a major slut, but also have some character development before getting smashed. An extra minute or two of exposition, character introduction, dialogue, perhaps a cheesy joke... something... anything... some how actually getting a few words out of her wouldn't at all take away from her being a slut. In fact, she could be made out as even more of a slut were she to say something lewd or flirty during such an interaction. The chick that fucks a guy after talking for 30 seconds is just as much a slut as the chick who fucks a guy after talking for 3 minutes. I'm just saying it felt light on dialogue at that point. Like 10 or 20 more lines of chatting before the bathroom fuck fest would have helped it feel less rushed.
