VN Ren'Py Blurring the Walls [v0.5.4] [Torimiata]

[MN01-737]

The creator of this game is such a good person tbh. Nobody else reminds me to audit my patreon account to make sure I have auto renew turned off for these leeches.

What an insane update. Last time I gave them a lot of leeway for having a good story, but I just want to remind everyone that this story is STILL in day 2. This isn't just milking the subs, this is cucking their bank accounts. Another prime example of the 4D-cuckening that happens in this industry. You get to watch your bank account get fucked, and then you get blue balled.

Frankly, I blame Big Brother for this. They showed that people will rain cash on a good story even if progression grinds to a halt, and it doesn't ever need to be finished. It has only got worse since.

People here need to put their dicks and wallets back in their pants and stop rewarding this kind of behavior. Myself included...

bro's balls are big blue

This game is awesome! I will always support you tori!
I always question you "When new update?"
No hate me, pls... I not speak english too well

 

[kedewess]

Great update, I have to say that the scene with the mc fingering Ari's asshole was particularly hot

 

[BlitzdasChicken]

The goal was never a 1-to-1 replica. First 2 days were similar, but the last update should make it obvious we're in completely new territory now.



Saw a couple of comments about the 2 weeks thing.

tl;dr: that was only possible because I had a backlog of content from last year. Now that we're in new territory, that pace is impossible to maintain while keeping quality up.




Remake is at least TWICE as popular as the OG... vocal pessimism here doesn't reflect opinions elsewhere. I still take criticism seriously (like cutting down walls of text based on feedback!), but I won't scrap the remake because a minority dislikes it.

Truth or dare being 'for minors' says more about you than the game. Adults can still have fun, believe it or not...



I get this one. I will try to explain the reasoning.

For many people, beach exposure in a secluded spot ≠ getting naked in front of friends. A lot of couple experiment with that without crossing any sort of lines.

The naked prank was more like mooning someone.

This scene officially breaks the 'I don't mind if friends see me naked' barrier, which is huge for some people.

That said, I accept it varies culturally. Topless is normal in some parts of the world after all.

I'm called many things, yet a liar is not one of them. You know why I said that's what minors do? Because the last time I played truth or dare was when I was 15. It wasn't indicative of anything from me. I found it creepy, honestly. I very much liked your game before the re-make, yet the new, slightly shaking animations weren't enough to start over. If it's working for you, good for you, yet when I think I'm seeing pattern recognition for milking, I will unapologetically call it out.

is this the first time tori is admitting that the 8-month-no-update-"it's-almost-ready-guys" hiatus was because he was stockpiling content to then sell back his subs in 2-week installments?

 

[ChaozEnigma]

Hi there! Is it anyone else having this issue with the last version? It does not show the background images and neither shows the transition images. Tried the Windows and Mac version

I am having this problem.... any chance to fix it?
Old build works fine with all the CG and backgrounds available. but not the newer ones. I am using MAC bytheway. but PC version using renpy to open also doesnt load the background CGs.....

 

[Ankhesenamun]

MFW the mods are allowing full on raging and harassment towards Torimiata but an image meme of Robert Downey Jr. is where they draw the line

 

[ichi3000001]

if you have a save file starting from the new update can you share it with me

There's a couple of bugs that have been reported, it will get fixed with the v2 release soon - early leaked versions are usually not as polished!

You already left your 1-star review back in Feb, shouldn't you be playing something else by now?

Literally complaining because there wasn't work done, then complaining because there was work done

You've earned another patreon, thanks for the game.

 

[Digitool]

You've earned another patreon, thanks for the game.

And another patreon!
Torimiata, you are producing a wonderful game.
Your game has characters with real depth & character.

I played & loved the original game and I am loving this new (very different) incarnation of the game.

 

[TheGooseter]

I'm almost finished fully playing through the new update. The characters are great and have a lot of charm as usual. I think Ayumi has been pretty consistent writing wise (I am playing Dom Queen route mainly). And I gotta say, progression wise I'm very satisfied with what we got. Ayumi has been on both ends of some petting and has properly gotten off during it. The hot tub scenes were really hot and it feels like they've really opened themselves up to each other, hopefully that won't change once the alcohol has worn off. Overall a fantastic update.

suggestions/criticism:
-Now that there is a decent amount of branching path/decisions to make it might be useful to implement a way of naming saves. Right now it's pretty hard to keep track of which saves are which route and what choices I've made.

-sometimes the dialogue sounds strange: in dom queen route blindfolded Ayumi says something like "i feel so in control. Like they're all studying me and I don't even know it" (makes no sense imo), Ayumi saying "i choose reliability" when targeting terrace feels a bit awkward since it doesn't sound all that hot in an otherwise exciting moment. etc.

-I think some cgs of marco polo needs to be altered. I don't get why random dudes appear during marco polo when someone is blindfolded. It made sense when Ayumi and mc were roleplaying having sex on the beach with people watching but it doesn't work here. Why would Ayumi think of 3 massive dudes in the pool behind her when she's trying to find her friends. And why is mc imagining people OUTSIDE the pool when everyone is inside the pool.

-I do hope there will be call backs or continuations to some of these scenes/choices in future and it's not just ignored. It would be cool if Terrace mentioned grabbing Ayumi's ass in the future or if Ari mentioned mc worshipping her feet or Ayumi mentioning who she touched duing marco polo. Dw about it if it's too difficult to add considering the branching paths, but it would give the choices a little bit more weight in the long term.

bug:
-I dislike the distorting and warping of the art so I play with shader effects OFF. but this causes the entire cg to move off screen slightly and I can see the edge of the cg and the stuff behind it.

Quite useful feedback! I think I agree with all points. I will definitely take a look at those scenes.

There's already some minor flavour text and I will probably keep adding them over time.

The shader issue I will need to take another look, no idea atm if there's an easy way to sort that out.

+1 to what Digitool said

And also, I'd like to add that although I've seen some people eagerly hoping that the changing room scene might go a bit further now that you've reworked the story and given us options that sets the pace of the story's unraveling, I still hope you keep to the pace you're going at with no rushing. I'm as eager as anyone else, but I really love the pacing of the story so far and if the changing room happens to not go further than it did in your original work, I think that would be great. Some may make the repeated argument of "why are they regressing in their tracks towards exploring" but there's a difference between exploring while relaxed and affected by alcohol and doing things in a sober mood in the light of day. In my opinion, it wouldn't be strange at all if the group weren't as bold in the daytime following these three of diving into new territory. Ultimately though, it's of course up to you and again, I encourage you to keep on doing a great job!

Also, did a quick scan and didn't see it mentioned.
There's a visual bug/error on one of the paths toward the end of the pool scene (can't recall which, the others were fine)...
Ayumi is out of the pool and magically switches to clothes, then bikini, then clothes.
Maybe it was intended, but seemed a bit odd/out of place...lol

 

[herrderr75]

Clicking on the fake gallery froze the game. When I restarted and started playing from the end of the last version, it was just one endless string of error codes.

 

[mc loving VI]

Great update !

Is it possible to let Ayumi continue "massaging" Terrace ?

If there is, I didn't come across it...
And story wise, remember Ayumi's reaction/conversation with MC before and/or during the pool/Marco Polo scene...
She doesn't want to go too far, too fast. If the MC pushes her or isn't understanding, it's game over.
She wanted the MC to stop her there... Thus, the singular choice.

Yes, I remember that, so I was hoping a game over here

 

[awer567]

Love the update especially the teasing scene. Will there be a content involving tease and deny and chastity scene?
