Ren'Py Ardor for Depravity [Demo v0.1.1] [Adventurous Goat]
- Thread starter AdventurousGoat
- Start date
Sadly no, this is a variety game focusing on corrupting Emily from all angles. A lot of different flavors for the players to experience but that means you cannot focus on only one thing. There will be many lesbian scenes and some story lines but you won't be able to do exclusively only that.
I purchased this fantastic game on itch.io.
Will I receive a notification when a new version is available?

Is there a reason to only being able to buy it with paypal? It's really a pain in the ass to make an account there... I thought Itch.io accepted credit card as a payment method...
Is Emily a virgin? 
It doesn’t specify anything, but it will be a nice-to-have bonus if she is.
Besides that, the game has the potential to be excellent. I won’t agree with others that it’s a “great start” just yet... It’s a short demo, for Christ’s sake, but if the developer sticks to it, I could see myself subscribing for the long term. The only reason I’m not yet eager to support is the lack of clarity regarding the update cycle. How much content can I expect after the 3-4 month development period? Will they be massive? How much content was added from v0.1 to v0.11? Because that took about four months, and I don’t have clarity on whether I’ll get five minutes of new gameplay or whether each update will be substantial. Sorry for being cynical, but I've been burned too many times.
I’m also not a fan of this ‘demo’ crap; just release the full version to the public after two weeks, it's not that deep, and you should focus on the development of the future versions instead... or you can keep maintaining this artificial scarcity, worrying about public versions and demos and release cycles and all that there.

The v0.11 Demo was done after v0.11 update was released because I specifically wanted something to be released for free. That means it contains more content than the v0.1 version because that version had some major flaws. So rather than releasing the v0.1 version for free. I have made a demo version of the v0.11 version with more content.Is Emily a virgin?

As I said before, everyone will get the game for free eventually. I am opting for a model that the free version is one version behind the normal paid version. That means when the next update is released (or shortly after that) the v0.11 normal version will be free for everyone. This Demo version was just one time thing. The next free version will be the v0.12 as that is the bugfixed version of the v0.11.
In terms of the scope of each update. between v0.1 and v0.11 version I have added 20 new Main Quest line events (about 5 of them were sex scenes and three of them had animations.) I also added a whole new Corruption line in the Market that has about 10 events (but some of them were shorter and the majority of these events are in the Demo). In the tavern I have added four events with one sex scene and in the Bathhouse I have added two events with one lewd scene. Next update I plan to do about the same, maybe a little more. The new quests/events that I plan for the next update are similar in length as the previous ones, with more focus on lewd events.
As Emily's corruption progresses the events will more and more revolve around sex and sexual stuff. I have written the majority of the Main Quest line events for the next update and nearly all of them are sexual. The next update will mainly be about Emily learning to enjoy being naked, exhibitionism, dabbling in some lesbian adventures and servicing men with her mouth and body. For comparison the v0.1 was about 1-2 hours of gameplay and the v0.11 is about 2-3 hours. Also keep in mind that the v0.11-Demo is longer than the v0.1, as it has some of the v0.11 content.
I want to do bigger updates that are more substantial with a focus on Emily's 'barriers' being broken in each update/chapter. The game and Emily progresses in stages and I want to deliver these stages as a complete one update rather than a series of small updates. This way the delay between each update will be longer but it will allow me to do more coherent story and progression within each update. I don't want to get into a situation when I set up something in a small update only later changing my mind and basically writing myself into a corner, having to change a bunch of stuff and wasting time. I want to plan the whole arc for Emily in each chapter of her corruption at once. With proper structure, set ups and payoffs. Basically each chapter has an end goal, a new level of depravity for Emily to sink into. In the v0.11 it was accepting groping and oral. In the update I am working on it is exhibitionism, naked service and lesbian sex. In the next update after that it will probably be sex with men, in a update after that it will probably be anal and so on. These updates probably won't be the same length but I don't know that because I have not made them yet. I have a structure and outline that I want to follow but there are many unknowns still and I can't provide you with details until I start to write the actual events themselves.
I want to deliver a corruption story that is not just FMC becoming a total slut in the first couple of minutes of the game without the actual corruption. That is why I have started making this game. I understand that this can turn some people away as this is not a fast game to satisfy quick lust for porn. The porn is still the focus though but it is delivered with a more believable scenarios, story and a little bit of a buildup.
P.S. Yes, she is a virgin and I plan to do something with that.
Thanks for the exhaustive answer. This pretty much covers everything I was unsure about, and it's good to hear that you want to make bigger updates. I cannot emphasize enough how demeaning it is to wait for several months as a player, only to be delivered a short, mediocre update that doesn't respect their patience, time, and money... and the truth is, all these are finite in nature. I truly hope this won't be the case here. The reason for cynicism wasn't because of your game or you as a developer, but you've been on the forum since 2018, much longer than I have, so you must know exactly where it's coming from. I've forgotten how many times a compelling new project with a lot of potential comes by, and after a year or a few new versions, things slow down considerably. The developers' excuses begin; the constant delays or updates become shorter and shorter, until you realize the game will never be completed.
Anyway, I'm totally sold. I hope the Drunkards or Beggars jump Emily again, but now, she doesn't have anyone to protect her anymore.
Additionally, having perverts, thugs, bandits, or thieves as an ambush mechanic would be a cool feature if Emily stays out too late, perhaps in the markets or back alleys, or in any new locations. It could be an RNG or % chance-based event, as it adds a level of threat or danger, which currently doesn't exist.P.S.: I replayed the whole intro again, and there are no mentions of Emily being a virgin, so I think adding an indication, dialogue, or perhaps an event that reveals this secret would be much more fun to see.

So, coming from the opposite end of this, I'm guessing this also means it won't be possible to avoid the lesbian content? I'm not really a fan of that stuff.
Haven't tried the game yet, but planning to. The graphics look really good.
