Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.08.02] [Aleksey90]

[BigRedRadio]

It was a nightmare because it wasn't designed to integrate well and was dropped. Probably because a lot of people didn't like having Lisa giving her BF head before the big breakup happened and Max was with the two girls in a thruple. But towards the end when DS decided to "integrate" the two plots, he more or less decided to start over from scratch, and suddenly the sexually liberated and super fun Olivia was a shy girl who barely interacted with Lisa and had a treadmill standard progression route with the MC, each route was a completely different character.

It would have been easy to integrate most of the solo Lisa content into the thruple route, and most of the Olivia/Lisa content into the mentor route. Just have Lisa "practicing" with the MC sans Kira for all of the BJs and other stuff, and Add the later Lisa/Olivia scenes to the mentor route, could even reuse the vast majority of renders.

The issue I think many sandbox games have is that so many have routes that are mutually exclusive, which does NOT work well with a grinding game. Hell even the BB games have a hard break on whether or not Erik is in the house, which causes its own set of issues, because once he is gone, every bit of the driving narrative force vanishes and there is no conflict. One of the reasons the Glamour route is so boring, there is nothing pushing Max do do anything other than his libido, and nothing in the way other than grinding.

There ARE ways around this, Photo Hunt does an ok job, as do some other sandboxes never set an antagonist in the first place, so expectations aren't there for the MC to do anything but try and get laid.

I commented to that effect in a different thread that without Eric it's like the hero turns up and takes the treasure without ever fighting the dragon. Glamour has it's own issues I'm not sure I'd call it boring but there's threads that are hinted at that go nowhere and actions that scream out to be taken and aren't followed up on or only much much later.

A simple example, Kate vanishes from maid duties and someone says their courier would probably do it Max never follows this up and we later learn Kate is still doing the maid stuff just hadn't seen or heard her in weeks and even in that case are 2 sexy maids not better than 1?

How about a link to the fan art thread and let that be the end of it?

Why? Nothing else going on in this thread. I'd rather take these than the 57467853th discussion on Eric and NTR. Particularly when the update isn't here either.

Link and Spoiler - does go hand in hand.
You can't see it unless you click (pun intended)

Spoiler: And No - We don't want the end of it

Any news?

Don't really know. Last thing the dev said was to expect new stuff next week. I'm guessing he's run into a lot of bugs.

I don't care about seeing Eric or not. It's just not the right thread for fan art. If you have some actual ingame pictures, I am all up for it.
A proper update would be to shoot Eric in the head after shooting his balls of, but also that would currently be fan art and this not the place for it.

Haven't some of these pics been used in other games anyway?

I agree on the shooting. I was debating myself - if i must give the Gun to Ann or Kira; should the player select a path..
To get rid of Eric in a more fashionable way, then dig a hole to hide him off - other than Max taking pictures as proof.
Anyways, Max doesn't have the balls to hold another Gun than his own.

I just made this render few hours ago, took me whole day to position Lisa and all those fingers!
No idea if other games have similar concept renders.

Nope, this is not the right tread for FanART. But it is OK for the greater good and keeping the spark alive.

Things like these influence with ingame changes, as we have seen more updates to UI and Code - based on the Cheat Mod impact for years.
I could say that.

Does anyone have any idea when the update will be released? Thanks

 

[Nemo56]

I hope there are not too many Erics in this forum. Somehow that parody response to "Goodbye Earl" just came to my mind, where a guy lives in fear from his wife, because his name is Earl and he is sure she wants to kill him.

If you look at the original game, once Eric left, then some of the girls came in to fill that role. Kira, then Alice herself. Basically before Eric leaves, the game is about trying to get sex despite his best efforts to stop you, after that, Alice and Kira are the ones slowly drip-feeding the MC access to the other girls in the house. Kira uses the MC to sleep with her sister before Max can get to her, and becomes the person in charge of Lisa's sex ed. Alice becomes a super dominatrix, using Lisa and Max to make money as well.

Kira is the centre of the story for me, well her relationship with Ann. I see it as Kira trying to prove anyone could have gone her route in the proper circumstances and that Ann isn't better or more moral than her after she's been the black sheep of the family for so many years.

Ann of course has her own issues she almost personifies the Madonna/Whore dichotomy after her childhood abuse she's basically been turned into a submissive because her life literally depended on it so now she keeps an iron grip on her emotions and is either completely abstinent or subject to someone elses will she lacks almost all agency in the game even her rules come down from other peoples suggestions (the 1st iteration of the spankings may be her own but again is part of her attempt to maintain Iron Discipline that backfires so badly)

In Glamour you have a series of protagonists and an expending rosta of young ladies to work with .
Phase 1 is the initial corruption
Phase 2 getting out from under Alice
Phase 3 Karen and the School

With new opportunities at each stage, Family, Friends, Schoolmates, Teachers though I can seriously live with a lot less Kate I know the Dev's repeating art assets from the other thread but so much Kate the Doctors office thread, Kate and Julia which is basically Kate with minimal Julia and the the after class shower and these are all running at the same time so it's all Kate all of the time. anyway I'm sure it was someones best time in the game just not taste (Now tell me there's a scene with Kira and the biology teacher and I'm there )

I think some of them where used in a mod (or maybe inspired the shots used in a mod) some I've not seen before

Love your art, thanks man!

the butt plug in Kira is especially cool, any chance you can do this for Alice as well? maybe in one of her normal poses, washing dishes with her shirt and no panties, with a buttplug, turning and looking into the camera? I would name my next cat after you if you could share something like that!

If you donate a large amount, it will be released as soon as possible.

The same everywhere. It's just annoying.

I miss the days where people would actually create games that one could buy once they were completed without that ongoing patreon/sponsor/update hassle.

Also, so far I helped to finance over 30 games on kickstarter, I just can't stand that subscription model that is used these days. You get promised something, you pay for that promise and most of the time you also get it (2 exceptions so far), no "we need more/less ntr/milfs/sharing" whining from people who think the devs work for them.

But why doesn't Patreon take action ??? Because they earn it ???

Actually it's good for Devs to not waste their time on failed/Boring project, and to not get burned from hard work .

So , the best thing is when they make a schedule with a plan of 10 big updates or something.

Another point, playing a finished game will make you losing interest faster , and mostly you'll not repeat any scenes.
