VN Ren'Py Beneath the Surface [v0.30] [Ava Interactive]

[Big Horney Bull]

I don't understand the whole hiding the MC face thing... it just takes you out of the story as the items blocking the face make the scene look stupid. It's an old school technique that needs to be forgotten.

It seems like a decent story but everything couple of screens, I am pulled out of it because there is a plant or a toy in the MC's face.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts—I genuinely appreciate hearing different perspectives! The decision to hide the main character's face is something I considered carefully. For certain scenes, I composed them in full-frame to capture the atmosphere and convey the story visually. This approach often allows players to project themselves into the character.

I totally get that this approach might not be everyone's favorite—it’s always a balancing act between artistic goals and personal preferences. Your feedback means a lot, and I'll keep it in mind as I continue to refine things to make the experience better for everyone.

for some faces ok, but in other games when i see the MC's face or (non) hair I always ask myself "who the Fuck is that!? NTR!!"
"ah no it's supposed to be me(MC) yikes!" but for the love of the goddess I can't in anyway see myself in that face.
So the blocking and not showing face is very much preferred then !

 

[Ava Interactive]

NO NTR!!!!

 

[La Dani]

OHHHHHHHHH…..
PREGNANCY…..
YES!

 

[lionarslan]

OHHHHHHHHH…..
PREGNANCY…..
YES!

Yeah, pregnancy. MC has a daughter. And all pregnancy content is just a look into the past when that daughter was in the belly of her mother. That's all, nothing more.

It is a future tag.

Games interesting so far, but the MC is a wimp. He has no real impact on anything going on. Things continue to happen around him and he's just along for the ride. When he tries to help he gets turned away and it results in nothing. He talks a lot but he's really powerless. The first "H Scene" (or tease scene?) You get a choice when your with Emily to take charge or let her be in charge but when you take charge it's like shes leading it all anyway and the dialog is drawn out like crazy. Each sentence having the complete opposite effect of exciting. The second "H Scene" was like 100x better including the dialog. I don't know where this is heading but something big needs to happen to the MC's character progression to keep me interested. Like inheriting Batmans Batcave, because his capability isn't screaming Harem worthy right now.

He’s just a regular guy—a character still in the process of being built up.

[TheRetroAiden]

[Ava Interactive]

oh, just a regular guy. okay.

Just a regular guy—one who tried twice to break into a high-security lab, all to save the woman he loves and bring her home.

 

[NyVar]

[Ava Interactive]

I said what I wanted to say. He doesnt seem like a strong MC. I like his loving and caring side but he has no spine, but the way its written he has no means to have a spine because someone bigger and stronger can just do what they want with the "just a regular guy." That's why I said he needs character progression. How can he be a symbol of strength and protect the girls, when we've seen twice that he is helpless? On top of that letting Ava and Emily take care of pretty much everything except retrieving Maya. He just feels useless. imo...

 

[Ava Interactive]

I Love it

Thank you so much.

 

[Maviarab]

Incest planned?

Hey you can't blame the man for asking, especially when the overview kinda implies that, given that MC is a father and head of a family.
Renders seem good overall though, good luck with the game.

I like the choices in the girls hair.
