VN Ren'Py Between Humanity [v0.3.2] [DebatingPanda]

[LactoseFree]

Those past two weeks were quite a ride, honestly. But the game is back on itch, re-indexed and available for everyone as it was before, so yay! My new SFW version, Beyond Humanity, got de-indexed as well for two days, which removed it from the new&popular category on itch, quite a bummer. Would be great if you could leave a rating for it

You must be registered to see the links

, so it gets a little bit more popularity, would really appreciate it!!!

If you didn't notice already, I have added a web build to Between Humanity's itch page! I will always advise to download the game to enjoy a better quality and to have your save files local, but hey, you can play the entire game through your browser now! I assume this works on iOS as well, so Apple users can play BH too now! (Side note: I have added both variations of gamma/brightness adjustments into the web build! - talked about those in the last dev log - and thanks to Reverbrick for bringing the gamma method to my attention!) Back to the development topic: I'm currently a bit occupied IRL, so I haven't got as much done as I would like over the past two weeks, despite all those other problems that arose. This will continue next week. I also haven't found any time to start on the current monthly render - sorry - but I'll tackle it tomorrow and probably work through it until Wednesday. I'm also working on some animations for the game at the moment, which I just have to get right or they won't really work, so quite some time has been sunk into those! Hope I'll get them perfect at some point so you can enjoy them to their fullest! I'll stop here for today since it's already past midnight. Hope you guys have a great upcoming week and thank you all so much for sticking with me in this tough situation!

When you enter the downstairs bathroom after sleeping first time at the house, the title card for Jane says "Your naked mom."


Not to mention the setup is classic incest story with all female family and absent father. So yeah, I'm not buying the "best friend" stuff. With the incest mod no longer availible I wonder if the dev has something cooking that he can anonymously let slip on the internet. I'd mod it myself, but it actually shapes up to be a nice game and it'd be a shame to spoil it by rewriting.

If you previously used the incest mod on your save then the relationship page will still reflect that. It didn't just mod the dialogue, it set some variable on your save that doesn't get over written by not including the incest mod. Either way I wouldn't expect any updates to the totally not official incest mod.

So it's obvious to everyone that this is an incest game or pseudo incest. why do you need this fiction that everyone calls each other sister/brother? Are you just being meticulous?

Breaks the immersion. The setup is obviously there, so it's jarring to for them to refer to each other in a different way. I know what you mean, it would make as much sense if siblings called each other by name instead of "sis"/"bro", but there's contradictions that clearly say there's no relation.

I know the "I play it for the story" thing is a meme, but if I didn't care for the story, I might as well unpack the images and have a gallery. I like the video game format precisely because it immerses me in the whole thing, which makes the fantasy far more vivid than any other media.

Maybe. And maybe context about incest give you better boner then the opportunity just to fuck a hot mother and her two daughters

Of course, that goes without saying. Otherwise I wouldn't be interested in the patch.

Not this stuff again

No it does not mc's father and jane's husband are clearly different characters. MC clearly does not know the other guy who is clearly still alive unlike the father. Also why does not mc know anya that well if they were siblings? Why didn't anya visit us in the hospital but only lucy did? She was clearly the sister of lucy and not sister of the mc. Otherwise her reactions only makes sense if she hates us which she clearly does not. She just was not close enough until recently.
Lucy did not show much of a reaction too when mc visted his home. Her reaction was basically consoling mc makes sense if she is just a friend of mc and does not know much about mc's father.

 

[failureatheart]

Game needs an updated incest patch, prior one doesn't work at all with the new versions.

When you enter the downstairs bathroom after sleeping first time at the house, the title card for Jane says "Your naked mom."

Note, not "your naked mom." And you only see that one if you didn't go downstairs during the night; if you did, you see this at that time, and not the one in the bathroom later:

Again, not "your hot drunk mom." Could you read it that way? Sure, if you like.

Not to mention the setup is classic incest story

I don't really think so. Not only does Anya's relationship with MC not really fit that scenario, I don't think Lucy's does either. Nor, for that matter, does anything about MC staying with them--he's introduced to Anya and Jane, neither of whom know him at all. He's effusively appreciative--sure, if he's a decent person at all, he's going to appreciate it, but it goes (IMO, naturally) far beyond what you'd expect to see for being invited to stay with family.

If you're wanting to make this an incest scenario (and have it actually make sense), you're going to need to do more than just insert "sister" and "mom;" you're going to need to do a decent amount of rewriting.

 

[danb35]

he's introduced to Anya and Jane

Memory was off a bit. Anya he knows (barely) from school:

But Jane introduces herself:


Yeah, the overall setup is there, but I think it'd take significant dialogue changes to make it work.

 

[dante4ever]

I didn’t like Anya’s behavior during the hot scene in her room. I certainly didn’t expect a mischievous and provocative girl like her to start a romantic relationship with the protagonist, but I really didn’t like the way she treated him before, during, and after the hot scene—especially at the end, when she abruptly kicked him out of her room. Too much talking, too much beating around the bush from a girl who had been teasing the protagonist the whole time with suggestive looks and provocative poses, only to waste time, joke around, and test the poor guy during their intimate moment. Really, really disappointed in a character who started off strong only to ruin herself during the hot scene. That said, speaking about the AVN, the plot seems interesting, the mystery is there, and the LIs are all cute, each with her own personality. I’m curious to see where it’s going.
P.S. Team Lucy.

I think the rejecting scene more interesting. She just got scared and said (quietly) she actually do like mc. how cute

I really hope this is like a path separation point where 1.) you get some a hot scene, but she will stay more tsun and develop a lustful relationship 2.) you rejected her and she reflected her behaviour, and become more dere and develop a romantic relationship.
But I guess this is not likely to happen. Rejecting a girl right before the sex scene may just end the path in most of the games.

I somewhat agree. Don't think she was ruined, but the ending was quite abrupt and the scene too... simple.
