VN Ren'Py Abandoned Another Man's Wife [v1.092] [Too Perilous]

[packard1928]

I like this one... for all this discussion... it is still entertaining.

 

[Grumpy Old Aussie]

I say go ahead and make a couple of chapters with what you have. Sell that in early access/patreon as a way to fund those 4090s which should help with timely delivery for the rest of the game. We do need more happy couple swinging games.

And please be liberal in use of labels so I can make that gallery mod so you can spend your time on the actual gameplay.

Good advice. If I got my finger out. I'd have plenty of content to pump out. Uninterrupted time is not my friend.

Amen, there is a serious shortage of good sharing/swinging games.

That there is. Then you finally find a swinger focused game and the wife is a bimbo or a bitch.

I think Stoper, the dev for “JOHN” has 2 4090’s that aren’t getting much use these days

Yep, its a shame to do so much work, and make such a good and popular story and never finish it... It was refreshing to have a hot woman who was seriously tempted but always said no, only my husband. Although she did cross the line a few times.

Your thoughts mirror my own closely - it seems like the dev has a fundamentally different idea in his head of what the game should be as opposed to many of us..... the frustrating part is all these callbacks, secrecy, winding stories of deception etc- not only add time to write and develop, but if I understand correctly aren't desired by the majority here!

For myself only, I just want more swinger games because this site is so lacking, I dont want complex weaving stories of backstabbing and scheming, I just want some couples happily banging! Is that too much to ask? Literally, the code could be so simple, stuff like the following below, and I'd be happy!

It makes me angrier because the one thing standing between just doing this myself are the presence of those 4090s he whimsically mentioned. Those cards are 2 grand a piece. So a multiple setup will exceed 4 grand. Not exactly a new putter in your bag. If I had the same tools as him, grrrrrrrrrr.

I don't mind complex stories (that are realistic) to go with the couples happily banging

I recommend to seriously consider asahibito's advice, get started, the 4090s will come.

I've got the stories, I've got a decent rig, its uninterrupted time to master scene creation that is my problem. I have to be able to focus to learn.

From making a number of mods now I noticed the majority of developers come from a writing or art background. Or they just don’t care about coding discipline and best practices. For me the writing and art skills are harder to acquire due to elements of creativity and subjectivity in addition to their technical aspects. Gotta work on that before making my own game.

Perhaps the both you and Pr0GamerJohnny can team up to make that good sharing/swinging game. May help with the time issue. Better yet! Make 2 games - one for each of your story ideas.

So getting right to it, we will update the game this week. I said a while back that we needed to go in and work on older content to bring it into line with significant changes to the story after 1.06. We've been working on that a lot and we spent a good chunk of time reworking Friday night as we noted last week. At this point, we've added around eighty renders to Friday night, fixed a number of inconsistencies in the dialogue and set up the early material to flow into the later parts of the game better.

We've also revamped the Saturday night dialogue after MC and Steph go to bed but before the dreaming starts. All versions of that dialogue now set us up for how we want the game to end with greater player agency.

And we've continued to replace older animations. Additionally, we are now changing some of the animations to .webm files. This will reduce the size of the game and increase the load speed for animations in this format. We've only done this with a few animations to this point, but more will be converted moving forward.

As far as new content goes, the update will complete the Tori and Jason scene (Yes, more happens after Steph is posing on the couch). The changes mentioned above regarding player agency will also play into how all three versions of the ending of this scene occur.

I've always expected us to have players who would want to see their "wife" behave in different ways based on what they hope to get out of this game. Some would want her slutty, others more reserved. So we began, as most of these games do, by making paths to those different options and you'd just have to find the one that would work for you. We've now changed that so that the player is now going to flat out say, here's what I want. That will happen before a scene and sometimes just as the scene gets started. And in some cases, there's even going to be a kill switch. (No, it does not involve throwing a bucket of cold water on your wife, but verbally, that's exactly what you do.)

Our thinking is we want Friday night to be a bit of a wander in the woods, and I feel it is. We want Saturday night to be more MC focused with greater control, and that's happening. You don't get much of a choice regarding the scene with Steph and Gina, we assume you want that one. But everything else, you can control. You're wife tells you Saturday morning she wants you to be the bad boy, and you get to decide a lot of what that looks like.

Beyond Saturday, you're going to get to say what you want and the scene will adjust to that. Our goal is for the early game to be your wife responds to your choices and the late game is your wife responds to you. So there is not a ton of new content in terms of game play minutes, but I feel we've done a lot since the last update. And we're going to drop the new demo when we update the game as well.

I don't have an exact day for when we update. It will be later this week. When we update, we will of course have specific notes on what all to expect.

Thanks again for being here, and we'll have the update as soon as it's ready.

Thanks Red Devil

A promising update I feel. The devs are listening. Check this page for listening devices

It sounds like it will be a much improved game with more player control as it was one of the things I felt in danger of going backwards in the game. I'm not sure how that will work going forward with Tori's plans but we will see when we get there. It will blunt the Tori effect if they stick with it. I look forward to seeing if it will make Tori/Jason any more palatable but we will see as their story unfolds.

I know messing with Friday night was a priority due to the demo. There are other areas I think needed far more work than Friday night. Its not a big deal as it sounds like Friday night will be even better. Hopefully those other areas will get some work too at some stage.

"Our goal is for the early game to be your wife responds to your choices and the late game is your wife responds to you. " I wonder how that mechanic will work with the Steph reveal thing and Tori's plans? Lots of questions.

"No, it does not involve throwing a bucket of cold water on your wife" bugger they take away all my fun

 

[Slick Bean]

MC has always been so very wary of this assumed scripted overtone:
" Our goal is for the early game to be your wife responds to your choices and the late game is your wife responds to you."

The reason being that Steph tells MC she does not need anyone else but MC, while the game absolutely forces the bull
down our throats and right down MC's throat no matter what we do.

So the matter is that some asshole, of whom MC is wary and repulsed by, comes to his home like going to the brothel and fkks Steph.

Such a state of affairs is not swinging or sharing, it is pimping your wife and is disgusting, as it absolutely does not
prepare MC for going over to tori and be disconsidered in the house of his so called collegue while Tori ensures he is hummiliated and disgusted for being a third wheel when Tori watches in disgust as Jason rails Steph.

This makes it look and sound and feel like MC is the pimp who brought his whore wife to be shagged by some asshole.

By this point - MC should get his payment or burn those two in their own house while dragging Steph by the hair
through the pavement to their car and then drive away, slowly, face fkking Steph to oblivion.

You raise some good points and I've echoed similar in the past. Donnie is an asshole for sure.

I let Friday night slide as they are a first time couple, drunk, and they are bound to make mistakes. I know my wife and I did. Plus MC is a moron for trying to manipulate his wife to screw Tori. I don't mind they fuck up a few times and I liked in the game how they talk about their fuck ups. I'm not happy with the way it was handle, especially Steph's bald faced lie of sending the MC for a drink and then gaslighting the MC when he tries to bring it up. It shows no respect for her husband. As I said, I can let a lot slide as first night mistakes. It happens with new couples and mentoring with an experienced couple is a great idea.

Which brings us to Tori and Jason the experienced couple and would-be mentors. To be blunt, if I turn up for this meet and greet and my friend reveals he deceived and manipulated me to get sexual access to my wife. I am not going to be interested in my wife playing with him. I am going to be pissed and probably violent. My wife is most likely going to give Jason a kick in the balls and pull me out the door. She certainly wouldn't be sticking around for fun and games. We don't do deception and manipulation.

As for being mentors, this couple wants to take on a mentoring role and the first thing they do is manipulate and deceive us. Bye bye. Then there are Tori's plans, no Tori will not tell us when we play as a couple and neither will she be telling one of us to sit out for 3somes and telling me/MC to sit out for her planned sexcapades with my wife. That is not lifestyle mentoring. If its not mutual agreement its not an agreement at all, be it for swinging, 3somes, hotwifing or whatever. The devs have said Tori is trying to help, I can't see how that is possible. It looks like a path to destroying MC and Stephs marriage.

While the devs have made big changes in that scene, I get the impression from their comments, the devs still aren't getting how bad it makes Tori/Jason seem. They don't understand why so many players don't like them. From the Steam banner it seems in the 2nd game Steph is giving BJs, but we will see in a few days what happens there.

Well, you don't need a RTX4090 to write the code or do the rendering. Any Nvidia card that uses Pascal or newer architecture and has 6GB of DDR5 will do the work if the scene content is kept reasonable(2-3 people and a scene preload). The new cards are faster sure.

but you do need an nvidia card - as I posted separately I've an AMD so it's all software rendering for me leading to prohibitive rendering times with any kind of scene detail beyond a single character against a planar background.

My point was that with cards of that power, they should be CRANKING out renders, not la-dee-dahing their way through updates.

2 cents... if you have the means, and due to cryto cratering, I bet you could lay your hands on a used GTX070FI for right around $100.00 or so. Bulletproof reliability to boot! I bought two of them on eBay years ago, and still working great!

You can use the 3Delight rendering engine if you do not have an nVidia card.

Yeah, but the library of textures usually isnt nearly as comprehensive, at least not for the clothes and skin textures typically used by daz models. Anyway, trust me when I say I've exhausted the low hanging fruit for my situation and am resigned until I get a new gpu.

Back on the game, have they posted expected release dates for the Tori house finale? I thought that was supposed to be now.

They said the next release update would be next week. So, Saturday should be new content.

 

[JetZ]

We will find out in a week or so I guess. If its a Q&A thing I'll definitely be seeking input from you guys to bring up.

I think the dev doesn't understand why we are looking at his story and coming up with different answers/perceptions then what he intended. For example, no one figured the Christmas Party is a central factor in the story. To the dev its obvious because he keeps referring back to it from his point of view. To me, it is mentioned 3 times twice those times are a one line reference to meeting Tori and the other reference Steph and Tori had a conversation as people do at a party, so what? Maybe the dev should have started there or had some flashbacks or something. If Steph spilled her secret to Tori and not her husband then there is an obvious communication issue. That brings us to Tori who is supposedly trying to help Steph. I still can't get my head around that. There is nothing in that text that I can see as helping a new lifestyle couple who have obvious communication issues and which the woman has psychological problems. I see a recipe for disaster. To me its bizarre. I think it's things like that he wants to clear up.

so the steph "bipolar" issues still exist ?
man i'm so out of the loop on this game since the last tori/jason update came out
i saw ur steam reply on last night news tho GOA
i just hope the next week update is gonna be better and not adding more questions for some people that's been playing since like before the jason/tori update with a lot of twist and turn the dev are adding
