Ren'Py Blood Ties [v0.1.0 Alpha] [BaconLake]

[BaconLake]

I did not add the NTR tag to this post. MC sharing will not be part of this game.

Regarding the style of some characters—alternative, metal, punk—however you want to label the tattoos and piercings, I get it’s not for everyone. But I like what I like. That said, I’ve tried to limit those traits on a few of the LIs, and there will be more vanilla options moving forward.

eleanorduval: "I think the dev is quite fortunate to have so many people urging them to make a change, because the alternative is total and complete silence. They could've all just as easily ignored this, voiced no criticism, shown no support, and left the dev and his project to fade into obscurity on this platform."

Couldn’t agree more. I genuinely appreciate the engagement—even the tough feedback.

daycallmebiggnutt - “No,” once a girl is with the MC, they will not be sleeping around.; Correct

JJ84: “What exactly are the weaknesses of vampires in this game?”

Stake through the heart — not exclusive to a stake, but yes, that would kill them.

- Sunlight, - Crosses, - Garlic, - Silver, - not a thing
I’m not ready to expand further on this—or the other side of the coin (powers)—at this time.

A lot of people have expressed concern that all the LIs have been “run through a bit.”:

It’s been said that the LIs are lacking depth or “sustenance.” This is not without merit. I believe a big reason is that I over-corrected—I trimmed a lot of dialog because the scenes felt too long and dragged out. That said, I’m not claiming that just adding back dialog changes anyone’s mind—but I do recognize this as an issue and will aim for a better balance of scene content length.

I really appreciate all feedback. Even the criticism, this game only existed to me and a handful of friends/family before last week. It needed, I needed, some more perspectives.

More to respond to but I'm super late for work... I will post about the gallery unlock tonight. Thanks!

No offence bro, but I would rather not touch any of them with a 10ft barge pole they have been mega run through big time I will say the world building is cool, a bit like vampire the masquerade. Like i love codexs and stuff like that being able to read up on stuff is always good to me.

Thank you, this is all we wanted. I appreciate your response, and if we scared you off of the thread in any way, I apologize. As I said, the game world interests me and as such I will be following the game.

As for vampire weaknesses, I think vampires not having many of the standard "vampire weaknesses" can work quite well, and is actually also included in lore about vampires in a worldbuilding project I'm doing, no weakness to the sun, garlic, religious symbols, etc, but they sleep very deeply, and also become very weak after turning a human into a vampire or a thrall due to having to expend mass amounts of their own blood to do so (in addition to stakes through the heart killing them, but this is because they are technically living beings in my lore, and need blood flowing through their veins to survive, obviously destroying the organ that does this, will kill them.) I think its actually quite refreshing that vampires in your lore are a bit different than the standard, and I'm excited to see how vampire hunters would go about trying to end a vampire. As for powers, in my lore its dependent on the clan(The powers you get are dependent on the clan of the vampire who turns you), one have powers relating to movement (they have wings, can turn into bats, the more powerful ones can teleport) others are better fighters, my favorite clan has powers relating to enhancing their thralls over themselves. I am quite excited to see how you do your power system.

Good luck dev, I am very glad you finally responded to us, I wish you a very fruitful development.

Are your vampires doing a lot of NTR or more haremesque things? Asking for a friend!

i know it,there was logical explaination.MC was far away from home,he have no clue about his father and council member activity.

first he entered the house he said,something feel off. He tried to ask his mom what going on,she refused answer him.
Logicaly things will change when he will be the boss.

 

[longjohngold]

This was interesting, I always like vampire stuff with absurdly hot women. Will have to see how all the worldbuilding turns out once it's more developed.

Default text is a little small, and I don't get why you'd make it smaller when someone is thinking - might seem interesting stylistically, but impacts readability.

I'm not sure why "click to continue" needs to be constantly there on the screen for regular dialogue, it's a bit distracting and messy.

The models in general are very good. I like Abi and her piercings, the mother, lots of the random characters in the backgrounds. While they might not be the hottest girls in the game, for example Maya has them beat, I always enjoy a bit of twincest. I wasn't much a fan of Jennie, shame if we're gonna get to own a girl it can't be one of the hotter ones.
These ones looks interesting, I hope they crop up in the story. Very curious about the demon horns.


The "Chapters" are very short, not really a bad thing, just feels odd for each conversation to basically be it's own chapter.

It’s been said that the LIs are lacking depth or “sustenance.” This is not without merit.

The worst approach you can make when you target the harem crowd is to lead with the sexuality of the LIs. Yeah, Yeah, we get it, you are making an Adult Visual Novel with Adult themes. But did you know that there are different themes which make a story adult besides sex? Conflicts arise for other reasons besides sex, and people can be motivated by other stuff besides sex.

and probably the most important point the overwhelming majority of Harem fans are vanilla as fuck, they dont want to see their LIs in sexual situations with other People, nobody cares if she found god and was reborn after the scene, nobody cares if it as 100 years ago, nobody cares if they didn't know MC exists at that point in time.

Would you want to see a 1-hour clip of the highlights of her past sex live every time you date a girl? IF so, weirdo! But I don't, I don't want to see her with others, I don't want to even think about it.

you tagged the game with romance, you can see how that would clash with the portrayal of the Lis we got in the first part?

 

[GodlessPhantom]

Thanks for the reply dev i think it did help clear up some things. Good luck and have fun.

 

[OptimusCrime]

Vampires you say?!

jeanette Voerman cameo when?

Good luck Dev, and good on you taking (albeit some very hostile) criticism and hopping in the thread.

 

[ChubbyFatBoy]

I'm just kinda wondering. Out of all the LI's we were introduced to. Why did it have to be the community house cum dump. That we were forced to kiss? Like we get her backstory and description, which is fine. Renders are hot enough to where I might sideline morals, to boldly go where every man has gone before. But the one chick that requires no type of thoughts or hints to her high mileage.... we kiss.

And I'm just sitting there thinking, damn. Wonder how many dicks she gargled today, before this hoe kissed me in my mouth. And then we get blue balled on top of it! So I'm now tainted and ain't even get to go full dumpster diving. At least tell me I was under some vampire voodoo jedi mind trick or something. Who hears about a girl getting passed around like a hot potato, including to your parents. And thinks yea.... I'm gonna tongue wrestle that.

I felt fucking sick when she kissed us, vile as fuck. lol

 

[ffive]

And I'm just sitting there thinking, damn. Wonder how many dicks she gargled today, before this hoe kissed me in my mouth.

Meantime, i wonder "Damn, bro. A hot girl is about to kiss you, why would you rather think about dicks."

 

[Nimbus Commando]

Meantime, i wonder "Damn, bro. A hot girl is about to kiss you, why would you rather think about dicks."

So you are saying you would kiss that hoe?

 

[ffive]

So you are saying you would kiss that hoe?

Sure. Do you somehow believe in that "indirect kissing" nonsense, and believe if you kiss someone who had a dick in their mouth at some point in their life, it makes you kiss a dick, or something?

I mean, not to round back to the virgin discussion, but the chances you are going to kiss a woman who never had a dick in her mouth are pretty slim. If the idea bothers you, well. That's even more of a reason to not imagine dicks when you make out.

 

[Alpha8979231]

I dont think we sometimes appreciate or notice cause most games aren't that good of a quality, but honestly this is a really good shot.

The angle, the composition, the fact that we are starring at a vampire girl who is starring right back us with a blood moon in the background. Honestly props to the dev, really cool shot.

Yeah!! And the background buildup is in league of it's own, with the lores and codex and ancestry lines, Looks awesome!!

 

[ChubbyFatBoy]

Meantime, i wonder "Damn, bro. A hot girl is about to kiss you, why would you rather think about dicks."

I mean you say that as if every girl thus far ain't been hot..... even the background ones. Usually those are left plain but nope. Don't think the dev left anyone basic . So that ain't much of a perk on her part. I just rather have the choice of whether to kiss the delegated pass around. But hey! Maybe you just built different. Some dudes don't mind the potential taste, of residual nut in their mouths when they kiss. A little surprise creamer if you will.

I personally want the option to avoid things. But I mean if that's what someone in particular is into....

 

[SamualHand]

I felt fucking sick when she kissed us, vile as fuck. lol

"Us", nice sharing confirmed! I think you are forcing the game in a very harem unfriendly direction!

Did you not see the semen dropping out of her mouth? I think you kissed her and some semen and I think that makes you gay now! Gay tag confirmed!

gotta disable the "porn brain" and write from the realm of reality. at least a little bit.

If one wanted to write from realms of reality, then the first thing that goes out is having a "harem"...

Let's not pretend like this is about any semblance of reality. It's people wanting their "porn brain" catered to, first and foremost. It's especially funny when they talk of "sexual discipline" and fidelity as part of this, while wanting to fuck multiple girls. Because of course, they don't want these concepts to actually be applied to them.
