VN Ren'Py Between Duty and Love [v1.1] [DigitalJPlayground]

[fajiker145]

I don’t know how many people this post will reach, but the game will not focus on NRT. The beginning with Krestov and Irina is meant to build up an antagonist that you will truly hate. Liz is a stripper, not a prostitute, and I want to build Sarah more conservatively, as someone who hasn't felt her sexual side for a long time. She will not have sex with other characters, at most it will happen against her will, followed by a 'Game Over' screen. So if you see anyone talking about these topics, feel free to show them this post.

Is this you trying to buil her up conservatively???

And I dont have to worry about her getting fucked by other characters...... except when she is raped? Because that's totally needed, right. Same as with the groping she totally couldn't have done anything before that.


Everything that's shown in the game so far suggests it is a cuck game, with MC going around like a retard while everyone else is getting some, so even if ntr is not a "focus" it does look like is going to be part of the game (or similar content like cuck voyeur, sharing, etc)

So I suggest the dev keep going in that direction and add those tags in the OP, that's all I ask, I dont care to see changes, I just want them to present their games as what they really are so I don't waste my time with them.

The point I'm making is why are you expending so much time and effort on a game that doesn't suit your tastes when there are literally thousands of others that do. It makes no logical sense for the "reasons" you are giving. Also don't try and play the victim card, I didn't insult you anywhere. Me responding to you is not me taking it personally it's just annoying to see the same old crap in every game thread when the game doesn't match someones taste. The game isn't for you, just move on instead of making such a self important song and dance about it. Just look at the state of this thread with people complaining and moaning about the content of the game. The games are the devs to decide what to do with creatively not yours or mine. Always the same threats "If the game includes this, I won't support it!!11!" Great, well piss off to another game thread that you actually like and let the dev do his thing without being harrassed in his own game thread.

You called me weird, so yeah, that's an insult, not a major one, I won't lose sleep over it (or any insult from someone online), but it is an insult. I'm spending "time and effort," because I can and I'm trying to find out if the game suits my tastes because I'm not sure what the dev's plans are yet or if the current content even lines up with those long term plans because this is an unfinished game and these games change all the time with things being removed and of course added since they are in development.

Do you not see the irony here in you quoting me specifically out of nowhere and then doubling down on it while at the same time making claims about me "expending time and effort," about something that "has nothing to do with me," kind of like my conversation about the game had nothing to do with you?

My full response and then I'm done, no further responses to you:

Spoiler: Read or Ignore, you-do-you

Back to talking about the game, I do hope the dev considers the audience they seek to court and what types of content best appeals to them and then makes the game they wish to make that will also give them the most success. I always wish developers the best of luck, even when their games end up not being to my tastes, but I also want developers to be as clear about the content their product will have as possible.

EDIT, PS mostly for the rant: And not for nothing, but if it wasn't for third parties always stepping in and replying to people voicing their opinions about a game's content with insults and shouts to just "go away," there would be less arguments about it and people snapping back that seems to make threads explode. If people would just let other people voice their opinions in peace, or voice their own opinion in response but without insults and targeted quotes and let the dev's answer for themselves in the first place then a lot of the troubles would actually go away on their own.

yea sounds like a none fun time with technicalities spilled in there. Skirting lines like this ALWAYS worked out well am I right?..... Idk what audience you trying to get with this, but it's for sure not any vanilla side..

So yea.. good luck tho.

Hey everyone, hope this message finds you all safe and well. Just a kind reminder to please refrain from getting into endless NTR vs non-NTR debates, and arguments over these genres as there have been a lot of disruptive conversations in the last two pages of this thread that is dangerously veering into off-topic territory. Take such disruptive/prolonged conversations to DMs to avoid derailing the thread. Any further transgressions may result in warning points being applied and (worst case scenario) thread bans depending on the severity of the offence. Thank you all for your cooperation and have a great rest of your day/week ahead.

Might wanna give this another look, people just don't learn.

 

[kcoope89]

Looks promising, hope dev sticks with this!

 

[BGRW2020]

Your game is totally inconsistent - the custom naming does not fully continue as many times they are incorrectly referred to and lets be clear right now WILL THERE BE ANY NTR OR NOT, stop being a NTR DEV that lies up front and then drops it on the readers later - YOU NEED TO BE CLEAR - NTR YES or NO

 

[Caligula]

That is the cutest little sister roommate I have seen in a damn long time. Can't wait for stuff happening between her and MC.

The mom landlady is also very pretty. I'm really looking forward to future updates.

DigitalJPlayground I hope you're not discouraged by the shit that is going on in this thread. Some people are really too far gone.

 

[BGRW2020]

Like I said, when I played it I got the feeling it will turn out full of technicalities, 'she isn't a LI yet' 'MC and her aren't in a committed relationship', 'its just for the mission, she doesn't actually enjoys it and she was thinking about the MC the whole way' 'its a flashback from long before MC liked her' 'She is a sexually frustrated lady that hasn't had luck in love, so we absolutely need to know all the details about how she deals with that with random hookups' and now confirmed 'Bad ending rape'. We all know them...

A lot of fledgling devs are more concerned with how they can get away with something with loopholes, instead of how they can make their characters as desirable as possible, so the main target audience can't wait to conquer them. I will be shocked, depending if the dev gets spooked by the reception, if the original plans were not for the girl sucking dicks for grades to be dateable and come to ask the MC for help to escape the evil principal, although she seems to do it of her own accord in that scene.

It feels like AVNs lately have started to become playing the game until you find the least shitty LI, not the best one, which is incredibly weird design philosophy AND marketing for me, thats why I always advice new devs to pick a lane and stick to it, rather than insult everyone's intelligence with mental gymnastics. Unironically it is not just better for their peace of mind, but also financially if he commits to a genre/audience and is transparent about it from the get-go.

Will come back to play the next update, but it feels the players and the dev are not on the same wave length in terms of how characters and scenes come across.

I don't know about you but a spy does secret things not parading almost nude in front of a prick - she could easily have attacked him before he groped her - totally unbelievable the she would go that far with the shiek

You know what? I get it, you wanted to have sexual content in the first release but didn't want to rush it with the mc, but you have to understand not all of us are cum brains who can't keep our hand out of our pants. We can be patient if we want to.
Oh and you might want to be careful with the "against her will" on patreon, that will get you yeeted off their platform.

you know what works better than threats? devs being honest about the content of their game... there would be almost no derailing

 

[h3avenw0rd]

It's been mentioned already, but there are a lot of inconsistencies (names, render lighting, intention with the plot/characters).

Definitely focus on smoothing those out, especially how the models look between scenes and renders ("Landlady" looked like she aged 30 years during that parking garage/phone call). Aim less for "real" and more for "looks great" even if the lighting isn't going to be natural.

There's potential, but definitely needs a lot of refinement before the next release, it's early now that you can fix/improve a lot without redoing the entire game. Take the time to do it right as it feels more rushed than it needed to be at the moment and the quality is definitely suffering for it.

I don't understand one thing, what do those stickers on the nipples mean?
New fashion, censorship, hidden microphone? .

 

[robertweed]

need bug fix, teacher calls mc with default name even after changing name

 

[Dustellar]

Not bad, interesting take with the mom... and God! some people is really annoying with the NTR, it's clear that the main love interests will not fuck other people.

Just grind their dicks and get groped, while the rest of the cast does get unavoidable animated scenes sucking NPCs. Yeah, its the players that are the problem, not the lack of transparency and/or gaslighting about the game's content.

Well done, this was a good start to the game. I really enjoyed this introduction to the characters/story and I'm excited to see where things go from here. The models look good, especially Lily and Jessica, they are absolutely beautiful. I appreciate you putting some petite girls in the game, so it's not all girls with huge boobs. I really hope our MC gets more time with them in the coming updates. Also, I appreciate that you gave us 'foot enjoyers' a full shot of Liz's feet. Hoping to see more, we're a pretty easy audience to please.

I enjoyed your last game, An Evening of Events, so it'll be interesting to see how you handle a bigger story with this one. The one thing I found disappointing about your last game was the areola and nipples on most of the girls. They were flat decals with no (or very little) 3D modeling to them, and that didn't look great. For example:

I was hoping I'd get a chance to see if you're doing the same with this game, but we didn't get any full nipple views yet. I'm really hoping you're using 3d modeled nipples for this game. They looks so much better, and no one is using the flat decal nipples anymore.

Also, please don't get discouraged by all the people freaking out about NTR in here. I don't like NTR either, but they're being babies. There are a lot of people who really enjoyed your game and want to see more. Good luck on the next update!

[neronwtf]

DigitalJPlayground as other already pointed out, some of the renders are quite dark. Take for instances this screenshot. It's not coherent with what you're describing. There is not sun light entering this room nor "bathing" the character. I though the MC waked up at 3am, but it seems it's already early morning according to the script.
