Ren'Py Abandoned Brazen Sonnet [v3.1] [Tribe]

[CookieMonster]

Thank you very much!
All I can say at this time is that there will be choices that lead down different paths and I'll do my best to make them equally rewarding. There are no plans in place that will portray the the MC as a loser. In this game you have to fight against temptation and avoid the harem at all costs! Not an easy thing to do.


Yeah man sometimes I wonder why I chose this path. If any would-be devs read this: Using real porn is NOT a short-cut! It has it's own charm though...

I hear you loud and clear about emotional investment and I wish I read this before I commented before. There will, indeed, be such things morso to put things in perspective and create dynamic interactions. I think a more accurate way to describe what I mean by "no emotional betrayal" is that there are no plans for writing a path that leads to Claire choosing to leave the MC or developing stronger feelings than she has for him with someone else. I don't consider this a spoiler, in fact, I wrote the intro the way I did in attempt to establish that fact without spelling it out but that just made Claire look more crazy (and I'm fine with that too ).

Daww.... I kind of hoped that the player choices (and if a player chooses poorly) could result in Claire actually being forced down a route of emotional betrayal. Kind of to punish the player. Kind of in a way of say: "You chose poorly, which resulted in Claire being emotionally compromised, resulting in her ultimately snapping under the emotional stress." Plus, this route could be cathartic in the sense that if the writing is done really well (i.e. being written to the level where you elicit the appropriate emotional guilt over choosing poorly), I think it makes the game that much more compelling, since you're attaching stakes to the choices being made.

I know exactly where you're coming from. When this method is used, and used correctly, it can be very rewarding. However, this is the type of formula I'm trying to avoid as it has been exploited far too much recently in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with it but developers have been using this as a cheat to add value to their choices and depth to their games whether it was their intention or not. There will be stakes attached to the choices but the consequences will be of a different variety. This game features NTR but I'm trying to avoid making an NTR game (one that gets consumed by the elements of emotional guilt).

Punishment for the sake of punishment doesn't work. You know, like in most court cases today. If you punish them, make it actually mean something/hurt. In this case, you can't just make Claire act like she falls in love with her handler (I forgot his name, I only know he fucks her on a regular basis ) for what would be as of now no reason or anything similar. It should either be 75%+ lover or what I mentioned in my previous replies. Besides, the dev said he would not make Claire's hubby a loser and make their relationship on paper only which your punishment would lead to. A bit of emotional betrayal/Claire kissing someone and opening some small part of her heart for him would be perfect. Don't just punish. There are NTR'er games for that.

Android? Please!

Normally, I think the real porn tagged games are disappointing trash but this one right here is a fucking work of art. This is one of the best games of this type I've played to date.

how long is the gameplay?

how long is the gameplay?

Well at the moment, it is more VN than an actual game (some kind of prologue before real action). So it is better to talk about content. And there is actually a very big kind of content for a prologue.

 

[meluna]

how much content? 2,2Gb is much stuff!?

He did a patch and reduced the game's size so now its smaller . There is a lot of content it this intro that i thought this game must have a few updates but no , this was just the intro and it was so good . Recommended

 

[meluna]

Android? Please!

I don't think its a good idea because this game have 1GB with introduction and will just grow in size with time and in short time the size will surpass the amount that android apps can have to be able to install .
I'm almost certain that android apps have a size cap and its not that much ( maybe 2GB ? ) .

Hey tribe, if your vision for the game allows it netorase content would be cool, if not its still a good game! well done

 

[Dragontail777]

When will there be next update?

It should be soon

Short answer, I'm looking at a 20% increase in content that already exists but it isn't at a good pause point.
I vowed not to release another patch without Aika's tits because I wronged my brothers on the initial release. I really would like to discuss what the hold up is but it would take a few pages to explain, so I'll just say mistakes were made and I learned from them. About 4 weeks of work will never be recognized by this world... I'm ignoring everything and rushing scenes out at this point. I'm guessing 10-14 days but... you know. The buggy alpha will be posted on my discord initially if you're interested.

I rarely comment but I really enjoy how the game is going so far and am super excited to follow the development. Super glad to see JAV models being used! Hope development goes well Tribe, the intro was great and I can't wait for future updates

Thank you so much. I came here to take a break from coding and seeing this post and reading the reviews has me pumped and ready to get back to it. I've made so many changes (improvements hopefully) and I've learned some new tricks using photoshop and I can't wait to show you what I got.
Be well, friend.

 

[meluna]

Good luck , and you forgot to add animated tag for the game .

 

[sunji]

Eagerly awaiting the update to this game, great intro

 

[Dragontail777]

any news regarding update?

 

[meluna]

any news regarding update?

The next update will contain mechanic and less scenes but i believe it will be about half the intro ( fell free to ask the dev in discord ). As for the WHEN is next update , it is about 1 week or 2 , possibly .

The game has been updated.

The changes are too numerous but here's a general overview:

Censorship removal status:
After spending a lot of time researching and practicing, it has been determined that using software to remove or reduce censorship isn't in the cards (yet). The best method that I have discovered is to expand, blur, then sharpen the image again. Not only does this make the image looks strange, but it also takes hours to do. However, I have not abandoned the idea, but I feel I need more practice before proceeding with this.

Game saves:
This is a major concern moving forward. I have nothing to add except that I am aware of how important it is to establish this and it is a major priority. Thank you for your patience.

Let's see...
Did you start a new game?
Sorry that you're having trouble but I can't see how else that could happen. Could you please verify?
