Ren'Py Bonds of Love [v1.5] [Zelathorn Games]

[Joshua Tree]

Watching people boarding the "emo train" over the first 0.1 release of a game..... What do people expect of a new release these days? Something they not even paid a dime for other than the bandwith spent on downloading the damn thing... With this ongoing pandemic, and stay at home .. maybe worth start make your own games to show people how things supposed to be made....

 

[vengefulspirit]

Bonds of Love features you as the protagonist

That's a revolutionary literary concept right there. Let's not get too crazy, now!

 

[BellaSouth]

The game is pretty decent for a first release and promising. Let's see how it progresses in the future.

It's funny how the pretend smartasses come here quickly, to spread their shit without giving anything useful, without testing, just so they can grow their sad little egos.

Without a doubt, with this first release, the dev gives us much more than these pathetic lifeless.

Despite the exceedingly average set-up, this isn't too bad. Lots of porn tropes are present (massages, simping to curry favor), but the dialogue is decent and kept me engaged. The models are 6's at best and the mother looks like another sister. Even still, I'm gonna keep my eye on this one. This could be another Midlife Crisis in the making.

 

[HylTin]

At least, an "harem-incest family" game that doesn't involve some "crazy super-surnatural-crazymindfuck-powers"! (Don't make me say what I'm not saying, I like too this games but... "natural way" is almost never used) And also, story is good and work (for me at least) but yeah, as some previous posts, the "mother/landlady/whatever" doesn't look like at all like a "parental age" and more like a "sister age".... Also, the MC really look like at a parental age to me, I'm saying, I'm 30 y-o' and he looks like at least 10 more than me... Anyway, good game and keep looking this one!

I for one, look forwards to a sandbox game, without the overused supernatural(powers) and drug/mind break/control trope. I cant say anything as of yet, BUT, it does look better than some*coughmanysofarcough* sandbox style games with potential incest. At least the description is honest about the tropes and cliche of what it is, instead of overselling a burning dog shit. It's generic, so what? Generic is perfectly fine when there is nothing else, and there are some of us who like generic on downtime between bigger titles, or even in general. Also, as a "newb" on the forums, I am ashamed of my fellow newbs complaining and moaning about FREE FUCKING CONTENT, which some of us actually support, or have supported on Patreon. And I am not talking about you new guys who help with constructive criticism and suggestions that would help the dev.
Edit;I will keep this, alongside many other new releases I would've never heard of, if not for the awesome community we have here at F95Z, in my watch list, for now, and check in after some updates, and get the feel for the style etc. Some make it to my permanent list, some do not. It's up to you, dev-kun/chan, to keep me onboard with your ideas and story. I sincerely hope you succeed, even if it turns out that your style does not hold me, as this seems like, maybe, a first game for you. Good luck!

 

[Oh my]

The mom:
The purple hair on the mom is... aaaaaa fuck.
Looks like semi reasonable titties.
Typical never-pregnant, not ~40, always perfect physique.
This would be fine to me if it wasn't every single time.
But I have yet to see a modest, believable physique (for a ~40 year old mom, for crying out loud).

Good, realistic dialogue.
MC is pretty good: trying to spread some laughs around: playfully lifting spirits as he can no matter if he fails at times.
Is actually at least slightly taller than his female relatives.

Hoping to avoid fuckfest: go for who I want to go for and good-guy the others if I can't skip it.
Even VNs that have my interest tend to be something like 5% for me.
Fuckfests are their own fetish.

A VN doesn't have to have the perfect renders or whatever to be top notch.
But the essentials are... well... essential.
Time spent with the love interest, good execution of the kinks, quality story that doesn't require gimmicks, good shots, and you'll end up with a good VN.

 

[cesare.g56]

Sorry, Dev, but I can’t get through MC’s attitude&bullshits. I can’t really go on. The MC is nothing but the definition of cringe.
Anyway, good luck!

 

[AnimeHentaiGamer]

someone tell me the naming order. i'm dumb XD

 

[fotogaik]

Lol wut?
I mean, top of the sink is typically mounted about 70-85 cm off the floor (2' 3"–2' 10"). Her legs are clearly longer than that. Even if the sink was uncomfortably low, at say, 60 cm off the floor, her legs are at least 90 cm to a meter long. If her torso and head are proportional (as they appear), she's at the very least 2.1 m (6' 10") tall.
I mean, I'm 1.85 m, and my waist is about the top of the sink (85 cm up from the floor), so this is clearly ridiculous.

Added v0.2 to OP.

 

[lewismasss]

Hello dose this game have any NTR or sharing with other guys ? i hope not

 

[Lucian Light]

You live with your landlady and flatmates, but you can change this if you wish to be closer

I guess the old saves are fucked, because I loaded them and the only new thing was the world map, in the quest log it said end of the version or coming soon to everything.

I have exactly the same.
When I loaded the last v0.1 save the status of all quests was "IT IS FINISHING REQUEST FOR THE CURRENT GAME VERSION" or "SOON"

At the moment I'm not sure how saves would carry over. I'm pretty sure the old saves won't work properly in later releases. Apologies for the inconvenience and I'll try and come up with something for future releases.

I'll put more clear in the OP.

 

[GaboCAP]

I still enjoy this kind of "incest harem" games, and really appreciate some sandbox mechanics without grinding on it, as opposite to pure visual novels with branching paths. But really, some tropes start to bore. I mean, massage (always learned on line), morning wood... Some changes in narrative and some new plot elements would be refreshing.

 

[myuhinny]

Bonds of Love features you as a Elvis impersonator protagonist in his last year at the hunk hunk love high school. You will go to school, interact with lots of people around you, and get to know them as groupies and show them all how to be a hound dog.
