VN - Ren'Py - Better Future [v0.2] [Mr. MiBo]

The game has a potential. There's a story, there's renders, all that on a decent level. It feels as a beginning of a story and it's a definition of a slowburn.
So, at a positive side I can say the game has a decent story with decent renders, it's like everything VN needs is here... There's "but" though.
Story is the first one here. Not the player but story. It already exists, MC lives here for quite some time, he knows people, people know him, the setting is already defined and things are put into motion. In another game I'd say it's good but not here. 'Cause we, as a players, have no idea about that. We begin to play and find out that MC has a bar (he's small business owner?) and he's clearly in a relations with a barmaid (we have no say in this). After that MC beat out the shit from the one that deserves it (military service in the past?) and take the girl home to make her his woman (I won't go in details how much revelations it will bring). At some parts of the story focus changes to some characters we have no idea about. And what is worse we have no idea why we see these scenes. It's like a TV series we watch from the middle of the season. Everything's already established but no one told us what was "earlier". And it's totally not a positive thing about a game.

Good art style and a good amount of content, considering this is the v0.1.5 version. The dialogue could use some polish. It's good that the developer is active here. The current plot is enough to get you wanting more, and there is still room for improvement in gameplay, which depends on the developer's ideas. Overall, it's a decent game if the tags are your style. Don't hesitate to try it. It would be a 5 if the grammar of the dialogue were better.

Not a bad first step.

Pros:
- Models are ok with the renders being of good quality.
- MC is not some weak minded little f**k
- The story over all has some depth to it

Detractors / Opinions
- I feel the story had to much going on for the first chapter to get invested in the MC or the LI.
- Some of the people introduced had little to no back story
-

Not a terrible first release. Decent length to the game play. I didn't hate it, but I am also having a hard time really liking it. I wish we had an intro to Lynn and Evelynn, they seem like they're going to be part of the story or at least significant to the MC, but I have no idea why.

Some of the early ground work for Mia could have been handled better, it is all kind of vague and comes across half hearted.

Dialog wasn't too bad, but could definitely use some polish.

Going to keep an eye on this one, GL with future releases.
