Any interest in slavemaker 4?

If you know how to work with Ren'py it is not too difficult to make it work for simulations.

Indeed, I've seen some crazy shit made in ren'py, like honest to god dungeon crawlers.

He does have a point though, Ren'py really is purpose built for VNs so going outside that box is more complicated than it would be with another more general purpose engine, which is why I was eyeing godot (then

started, but I'm thinking I might keep using the engine just to spite them, they can't stop me from making a game they'd hate and plastering their branding alllll over it could switch to redot though).

Ultimately though, the dev needs to be comfortable with the engine they're using and confident they can make the game they're trying to in that engine, the rest is just details. Ren'py might be slower because it is built entirely on python, an interpreted language, but this isn't the kind of game that needs to be fast under the hood in the first place. A couple millisecond delay here and there never hurt anybody in a VN or VN-like game.

True, but with my experiences with playing Brothel King and PytFall, I couldn't help of feel the way it was made felt off, like it was trying to be something it's not supposed to. One way I would describe it is if someone was trying to hammer in nails with a rock or trying to put wheels on a boat.

I think that's mostly because they are heavily over-engineered on top of Renpy, they basically built another engine on top.
The screen language if properly used doesn't need that much, just need a Simulation Core that handles the game logic.
Essentially Renpy can be understood as a Turn Based Game, so you can handle the simulation logic between "turns", it's not as useful for real-time stuff, you are better of with Unity or Godot for that.

Hope projects go well, years ago, Slave Maker was my first porn game, loved Slave Maker 3 and how much there was to it, how many people to train, what you could train them at, variety of fetishes.

Can't recall much now, but i think Ranma characters were my favorite because i recall a bit more to them, like Shampoo having her favorite slave to train in Ranma, or making a big deal of how Akane could get into bondage more than other slaves and i don't recall other slaves just having a favorite fetish or action that really spoke to them more.
