VN Ren'Py Blurring the Walls [v0.5.2] [Torimiata]

[Lord Bradley]

I had to stop my gameplay short to write what I felt while it's still fresh. I barely started new update and this is probably nothing new, but I wanted to once again mention few things...

Writing is not only well done in terms of making sense, it is also done so using various fancy words, but not to a point of overcomplicated. It is easy to read yet feels like a nice restaurant meal as opposed to simple plate you assemble at home if that makes sense. And the details with hearts and other symbols and punctuations blend together so well I could not help and think to myself how much effort and care went into this detail and how many other devs would think it as extra chore and not do it.

And another thing is atmosphere, both how the scenes play out with the little tiny box appearing interactions and great sound design. I really recommend playin with sound on, it improves the experience a lot and I appreciate that it is another thing dev took care of.

So yeah basically I have barely touched new update and already I am overwhelmed with great feelings, I wish nothing but the best for this project! I would even dare to say, after trying few AI art games, this might be the top dog when it comes to AI games... Just my opinion tho, but do give it a try you won't be disappointed

Man, this became my favorite game on here.
Yes it's AI, but enjoy the character designs anyway. The moan sound effects sound a bit artificial, but they still add to the atmosphere.
It doesn't have any netorase sex yet or include any of my other core fetishes like internal view and pregnancy risk/impregnation (yet, a man can dream), but just something about it appeals to me so much.
The way the two MCs make a game out of seeing how far they can push each other's buttons, their genuine lovey-dovey relationship, the teasing, the way their voyeurism and exhibitionism feed into each other; it all comes together so well.
In the last year I burned through all the decent NTR and NTRS games on this site, but if I had to pick one that appealed to me the most it would be this one.

Finally new update! thanks you

 

[Torimiata]

Update 0.4.1 has been dropped for >=$5 patrons! thanks for the patience and support!

The largest difference is a new CG scene and animation for the final key scene, I really wasn't happy with the outcome of that one in 0.4.0.

Other big changes include various CG cleanups and improvements, including some new minor CGs to improve scene flow. Also a few script improvements.

There was a lot of valuable feedback and there's still a few minor things I'd like to do for a 0.4.2 before starting 0.5.0.

I got the leak but I subscribed this month as I'm impressed with the effort and energy you're putting into development and interacting with everyone here (for better or worse).

My only gripe is that I agree it would be fun if you had the chance as the MC to be a bit more in control of what she is doing, kind of the difference between a soft femdom and more of a wifesharing concept, where the MC is the one convincing her to show off for others. There's been some of this which is great. I also understand from the discussion here that these differences get so minute you're really stuck splitting hairs between slightly different kinks that apparently make or break someone's day.

Best of luck with the continued development!

Lots of potential here. Not enough choices so far for me.

 

[Emptyplanet]

With the choices that we get I want them to matter - so I'd be fine with less choices so long as those choices have meaningful branches to go down. From what I recall from my last playthrough on the old patch; there were certain early choices that lead back to the title screen because they lead to meaningful changes in the mainline narrative that hadn't been progressed yet. I haven't played the new patch yet so I can't attest to whether they've been developed further, if anyone could confirm or deny if they have or not then I'd be appreciative.

I don't care for some of the choices, such as picking the correct answers during the party at the MCs apartment since it doesn't lead to scene changes or anything meaningful except for perhaps one or two lines of dialogue being altered. That doesn't feel fulfilling narratively, so I'd prefer if the MC just makes the correct (or incorrect) call to suit the story's purpose without any illusion of choice being offered.

However I'm unsure how complex you can be with the variables involved in these choices, such as can you set it so that if you pick all the correct options in sequence - can you unlock a hidden option later on down the line in development? Then I'd have to take back my prior statement, because that would make those choices meaningful.

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

the most humiliating game that could exist, now only the worst comes out of the creators' fantasies.

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

a game that offends every kind of value, friendship, love, trust, everything in the game is against the very meaning of couples who love to share, a weak MC who is offended by his slutty girlfriend, but the worst, he is humiliated by his friend more intimate and by his college friend, a weakling bullied by three people who pretend to love him, but who continually stab him behind his back, what forces all creators to create games with such malice against a good guy, always the baddest he must win and he must have the thickest body and the biggest dick, if you play the game "A PROMISE THAT SHOULD NOT BE KEPT" you find the same dynamics, Laura, Luca and Yara, they are the same as the characters in this game, only the names change, but the methods are the same. Shameful

 

[Fensin]

0.4.0 is great: Ayumi exhibitionism develops just nice, artwork is nice. I'm waiting for same tempo of story development in the next update.
Aside from game itself, I would agree with what real_hero said earlier (it's sad his messages are deleted).

 

[Tecton]

Whelp, I see the anti-NTR whiners are showing up en masse and trying to review bomb the game.

It's pretty sad that they had nothing better to do.

There was maybe one anti-ntr review bomb and the mods took care of that.

May want to peruse the reviews again.

There's two more in there trying their luck. One of them is posting in this thread.

I only see 2 reviews less than 3 stars... one of those people I know is into the sharing/swinging side of NTR at the very least. The other is giving valid criticism and didn't seem anti-NTR at all. If there is a specific review that you're talking about, I'm not sure what it is. But please enlighten me.

EDIT::: Ok, I see one more, but that person is on my ignore list. My bad.

There are always a few extreme reactions like the 1-star reviews. It's impossible to please everyone, and compiling all the critiques would just lead to a mix of contradictory opinions.

While some criticism is valid and constructive, others might be based on issues already addressed or planned for upcoming update, I'll do a quick pass before 0.4.2 (public release) just in case.

At the end of the day, my focus is on valuing the supporters and actual fans, staying true to my original vision for the game and its story. I'll simply ignore what doesn't make sense/fit given that vision as that would ruin the project.

I appreciate that you've got that mentality, there's another patreon dev I've followed that's breached their original vision in order to appease the many various and inconsistent complaints/loose criticisms xd so that's nice

I've given up that fight as a few of my reports on different game threads which cited blatant "content reviews' as opposed to 'gameplay reviews' never went through... I've just accepted that as a reality of this site that mods will never really be evenhanded.... still price I'm willing to pay for the access afforded.

I believe that a game should be tried first, then you can decide or not in complete freedom to leave your comment, reading that many in favor offend those who criticize I find it childish and disrespectful, no one judges you, so why do you feel obligation to do so, the game goes without saying, it starts off with a certain favor, but then it loses, what many games in this style do, seen and reviewed, occurs, it's possible that you always like to eat the same old sandwich, I don't think so, 4 characters, one who is the victim of the MC game, and the other 3 his perpetrators, moreover, his girlfriend, his male friend and his childhood friend, not just any people, but the people closest to him, what we have more evil, let's say that MC's cock is the destination of the alternative male, nothing new, the two girls who fall in love with their friend's big cock and fuck him, another cliché, you call it porn, hahah, then I think not you know porn gentlemen, not even eroticism, this is just nastiness, nothing like the first two, but, tastes are tastes, enjoy your meal with the usual monotonous sandwich.

If this game constitutes monotonous everyday potato NTR writing then that's your opinion I guess, even if in this case I feel like you've either completely misread the VN or genuinely just don't like NTR/cuck stories. But this relationship dynamic they have right now seems completely consensual and is even used as extra spice for the MC's and main waifu's sex with each other.
I didn't get the impression at any point so far, that the MC doesn't want this or that the author frames his Netorase writing in an extremely sadistic way, the way most common NTR stories tend to. If anything he thrives on this spice and just amps it up with his own waifu sex so far, which is not something I've personally found in an NTR/Cuck story until now. (Usually cuck chars never seem to want their own sex xd)

The reason ppl are bashing on these honestly shit reviews is cuz they are disingenious towards what this VN offers, if ppl don't like this VN's flavor of NTR, that's fine. But making either poorly written or inaccurate reviews of a game is just wrong in my book. Idk how these recent reviews got these particular impressions of this NTR dynamic being typical and monotonous, when it's at least taking a very different consentual cuck + inclusive spin on the cuck relationship.

 

[Zytoxx]

Like where did you get these impressions from?? You and me must have read completely different VNs then I guess xd
They are ALL in on this netorase relationship thus far with all the teasing and absolutely no sex outside of mc's relationship so far, whether it progresses to him sharing his girl later on sure, but as it's written now, that will likely be consensual and probably sought out by this MC eventually.
And I'm not sure how MC's girl is "treacherous and evil" when she openly confess her's and MC's desires CONSTANTLYwith each other xd

I've prolly written a bit more than I needed to, but it just baffles me how "different" some people seem to read into the same stories, you and a few of the others reviewing clearly just don't seem to like NTR in general and allow that to jade your reviews. (If you're gonna do a lowball 1-star review, you can at least try to do it properly)
