VN Ren'Py B.E.S.T [Ep. 2.1] [Dolyla]

[Metal Panic]

We know that it isn't real life so the player should have all the choices enabled... but that would limit the principle of the choices... in this case we would make a kinetic novel with all choices enabled and all content one after one...

Nah, I don't want all the choices enabled and I hate Kinetic Novels.

I was just saying when it comes to these types of branch pathing games, it drives me nuts. Because there's always a spot where I picked the wrong choice and now, deep into the game, I can't pick a certain choice because I missed that previous choice.

It's on me really, not your game or the others. I just have to stick to the type of MC I decide to play as. If I miss out on a choice, if I care that much, I'll just replay it again choosing different shit.

Edit: Okay so, played some more and I like it.

This isn't what I thought it would be. It's better.

Definitely liking the choices, story and super glad this MC isn't an MC I have seen a bunch of times already (the character model)

Sorry for my previous comments... I should have played the game some more before saying anything. So. I apologize for my stupidity and impulsiveness.

We're pleased that you like it ! Feel free to say what you like and what you don't !

We're pleased that you like it ! Feel free to say what you like and what you don't !

Okay, glad to hear.

So, I continued playing the game today and here are like, 2-3 things that I wanted to touch on.

There are some choices that are titled "Buddy, Education, Sport, Temperament" which is a bit anonymous to what the MC will actually say (kinda like the Fallout issue in Fallout 3? I forget) unless you pick each one to see what the MC ends up saying, which is something I don't want to do each time choices like that pop up.

Could that be changed to add some info about what will be said? kinda like the choices that are titled "Milfs are life" etc? just something that will help people figure out what sort of response the MC is about to give. Unless you did it for a reason then, sorry for not understanding it.

The dialogue about Adult Visual Novels... I think this lasted for way too long. I just mashed the mouse until it was over. Did those choices count? or were they just for show? Like, the one where she asks if the MC would like to see her kiss, Grace. If I choose not to, will that matter for the rest of the game?

I'm sorry if a lot of time was spent on that whole topic and the characters were 4th walling it (I think) but yeah, I just didn't find it too interesting to follow and read. I just wish I didn't skip anything important.

I did read about the new navigation system, which I do like. I see the option to pass, which is awesome. The thing that confuses me is this part

" You will have to click on the "girl" you want to follow and you will see her part of the story, then the story will continue. You can even pass if you don't want to see these side stories !"

Are they side stories or part of the plot stories? side stories to me are more for side characters. If I skip out on them all, will that = a chunk of story I will miss out on? if they are tied to side girls then, it doesn't matter that much. Just wanted to see what you meant so I can fully understand.

Also, can I just see the stories without it making it seem like I want that specific LI? or if I pick one of the girls, will that give that LI a point towards love? because I think getting friend points should be a thing.

Maybe the MC has to do a specific thing for every LI to get them to actually "love" him and not "love = fuck/sex instantly" but it is a porn game so... I guess I shouldn't think too hard about it lol. I say friends while everyone else is like "let me fuck this girl" =.=

People were complaining that, in episode 1, they didn't know which answer gives which stat... so we tried this system for episode 2, that isn't very good but we are trying some other things during episode 3.

The dialogue about Adult Visual Novels... I think this lasted for way too long. I just mashed the mouse until it was over. Did those choices count? or were they just for show? Like, the one where she asks if the MC would like to see her kiss, Grace. If I choose not to, will that matter for the rest of the game?

These scene is very player depending... SOme love her and some find it annoying. But yes all choices here are for a good reason : the kiss activate, or not, some lesbian content for later, same for the milf question.

Are they side stories or part of the plot stories? side stories to me are more for side characters. If I skip out on them all, will that = a chunk of story I will miss out on? if they are tied to side girls then, it doesn't matter that much. Just wanted to see what you meant so I can fully understand.

I called that side story cause it's not mandatory for the following events BUT it's main story with each girl and even important if you want to have later scenes with them. PLayers were complaining that the game was too linear, now thay have some choices to have different stories depending with who they accompany during the free time. And yes you can pass these free time to stay solo, as players asks too, and to focus on the competition story.

Maybe the MC has to do a specific thing for every LI to get them to actually "love" him and not "love = fuck/sex instantly" but it is a porn game so... I guess I shouldn't think too hard about it lol. I say friends while everyone else is like "let me fuck this girl" =.=

The game is an adult game... but the relationship is very important for us and... actually, it's more a friendly relation with the main girls than a fuckfest. Yes there are some scenes like Madison who needed her time with the MC cause it was in her temperament, same for Blue and Red that have some ... constraints... But all others girls are more in the slow building. Ruby is clearly an example of the : We are friends and we want to know more and pass time together... She isn't on the sex side... Julia is different in her approach but has the same wish to know the MC little by little. Grace wants to emancipate from her mother and MC can help her... Every girl, we think maybe we are wrong, have her own temperament and wishes. And that's why they seems realistic.

Don't know if you have played the extended version of episode 2, but we think the choices opens a lot the game to the relation with the girls and not only the I want to fuck her. We're beginning to enter deeply into each story of the girl and episode 3 will be more in that way, "side stories" versus " competition story", sexy times appearing depending of the choices before and the advancement in the story with the girls. ANd once again, we try to let the players play the game the way they want. You don't like one chick, she doesn't asks you to be with her, you want no girls at all ? You can go solo and there will have a path special for this... You want all the main girls ? The "harem" path will open if you follow it... I don't think we can make more free game for a player to have all these possibilities. But keep in mind it's our first game and we are learning little by little how to do it and how to enhanced it

You are doing an amazing job, Pls keep it up! Although i hope you think about some threesomes in the Harem path. With such beautiful ladies in the game, that would be amazing...But pls don't change your gameplan a lot because of requests coz ive seen a lot of games get destroyed coz of that.

People were complaining that, in episode 1, they didn't know which answer gives which stat...

These scene is very player depending..

Wow... I didn't know there were that many complaints I'm sorry if I had no clue about that and came in complaining asking things people already complained about... sorry. I wish I knew all this beforehand.

You guys definitely changed a lot. As long as the main story doesn't change, and we can make it through the whole story as is (like, no matter if you change/add this/that, the story will remain the same and people will finish it no matter what) I say keep doing what y'all doing. Thank you for doing the changes and trying to please your player base. It definitely means a lot

I think the answers (or choice info) should show the basic reply (what will most likely be said) and you can just add the stat above it or like "I'm not so sure about that (Buddy)" "I'm game if you are (Sport)" that way, people get both answers they need from each choice. If you have something like this in mind already, then never mind lol.

Really? shite.... I'm going to have to replay that scene then... well, I guess not wanting to see the lesbian content is fine. Since lesbian content only matters to me when I'm playing a lesbian Female MC.

I think there should be a Bi tag because most these girls in these games make out with both genders and not just Females. To me, if there's "lesbian" content, they should not be sucking or fucking a dick, unless it's a dildo/strap-on. You know? I know there's kissing, but I mean, I don't want these "lesbians" to end up fucking a guy later on. If they are Lesbians, they should only like girls and not guys.

If they like guys too, they are Bi. Good to know that there's a Harem path too. I am loving all the paths your game is offering people. I definitely want to stick with finishing the game solo (but maybe fuck a girl or 2 on the side, side girls not main LI) I got my "reward" from one of the Twins but only because I wanted to hate-fuck her ass like "ha! you thought you could control me? you thought I fell for your "reward" trick? you fell for mines!" idk lol

I love how your characters are and am glad this game isn't just a fuckfest. It's deep (that's what she said) and the story is very interesting. Every time I see the cat though, I think of "inspector Gadget" or "James Bond" or " Dr Evil from Austin Powers"

I definitely can't wait to see what Episode 3 has for us I'm having a lot of fun with this one.

Don't know if you have played the extended version of episode 2

I only finished the first Episode, which I will have to replay a bit because of what you said about that earlier part having choices that impact the game later on.

Now, I am excited because of the extended Episode 2 info you just mentioned well, I applaud you Dev (team) because for a first game, it's pretty fucking sweet. Loving how you guys take feedback and actually improve your game even more cause of it. Your game offers a bunch of stuff other games don't and it's nice not dealing with the same shit yet again. So, thank you guys a lot

I was on your itch page just minute ago did you change your mind about the harem path? any plans to add any fetishes like spanking or pee as optional?

No change as primary said...

I think i didn't make my question clear. But Don't need too. I miss read your post i quoted. I see it did change your minds on a harem path. I saw itch from a year ago you guys had no plans. Glad to see that changed. I still hopes to see some fetishes. But I almost you give us ability to say we care and/or love them. I dont see that much in games. the only game that does it a little is haildickator
