VN Ren'Py By Justice or Mercy [v0.4] [TowerBoyGames]

Its actually not. Rich communities are fairly insular. You can bet if he lived in a gated giant mansion and was big in the news for a few weeks that everyone in his tiny little suburb would remember him and treat him like shit. For many years.

Now, would the poor people the next suburb over remember him? Nah. The Karen remembers him, but the Barista doesn't. Its a class/wealth thing.

But it's not just the rich clique on the cocktail circuit (which I agree would be more believable), but random passers-by in the street who not only care about some unsolved murder years ago but are able to recognize the MC and react without any hesitation:

Since I'm being critical here, I should note that overall I think this is a pretty good beginning. The writing is mostly decent, choices seem meaningful, and other than the MC being a weird troglodyte, the models look pretty good with a nice variety of body types and personalities. Some of the characters seem fairly clichèd, but not unbearably so. Certainly worth keeping an eye on, I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

TowerBoy First time playing this, the Journalist saying "How does it feel to return home after killing your dad" is WILD! I don't care how successful a propaganda campaign the Smith's ran or even if that Journo was on their pay roll. Outlets generally avoid saying stuff like that because they can and will be sued, and it's not like she's talking to someone poor who can't afford a defamation suit either, our character is the primary share holder of a massive corporation!
That scene needs a rewrite. A real Journalist would do the scumbag lawyer move of doing everything to insinuate without actually saying it, something like "How does it feel to be in charge of the company after your fathers convenient death". Everything heavily implied, nothing stated, because the MC hasn't been convicted as far as I understand, he was framed in public opinion but not in the eyes of a court
EDIT: Why is Alex mandatory? I tried to turn her down, still got her ambush at the coach, didn't have a black out choice before that, to miss.
I always wanna go for a no "It's totally not incest bro" run.
Also I like Hana and would've picked her anyway but, another no choice scenario

 

[Vasy]

It seems like choices stopped mattering in this update. Several scenes/interactions that completely ignored previous player decisions.

 

[Malicron]

Okay, the author is clearly a manga and anime fan and has already worked in multiple references. Between that, MC's single-minded pursuit of vengeance, and the fact the have a twin sister, I'm calling it now: MC's going to stab themself and drown at the end of this.

 

[Content_Consumer]

This is one of the rare Renpy titles that crashes on opening for me.
Usually I can work out problems, but I don't know what with this.

Here is the log file.
Even when I start while holding down the shift key and then force either renderer it has the same result.

I've noticed that Lily (College) and Lauren were kicked from the Relationship Menu. Is that a bug or were they dropped as love interests?
I kinda liked Lilys Character Design and was looking forward to meeting her in the story.

Wait, in new version there is missing one trans character. In fact only one i was intwrested in. Please tell me it is mistake and not cut content.

 

[BGRW2020]

what is it that you Devs cannot seem to get - that the MC's should have choices that matter, seems to totally escape you that forced sex is crap and wrong
The MC should allways have a choice - especially if it is with a married women
Your genre detailed the MC to have choices so why was it that you forced Alex on him as well as Mrs. Rivers???? and probably more

 

[UnoriginalUserName]

*Give up on Justice*
or
*Continue On Your Path*

Hmm...
*Saves*

*Picks Continue*
*gets forced into several sexual encounters he had zero interest in*

I see...

*Reloads*
*Picks Give Up*
*Gets a Happy Ending in V0.3 of the game*

...Well, whatever. Good work completing the game, I guess.

 

[Naps-On-Dirt]

Well Mrs. Rivers is backstory, so she gets a pass. But the Alex scene on the couch should have been avoidable. If the MC is trying to reset and restart the relationship with his family, stopping whats going on with Alex should have been an option. Same goes for Hana, you were able to avoid her first pass at the MC before talking to Emma and that was good so I probably would have accepted the pass she makes before her swim meet, but it should have been a choice.

Unavoidable LIs are a quit-and-delete offense for many people. I'll give it an update or two to let us off the rails.

 

[Juerhullycin]

Dev has the problem that he adds variables as he goes. I had the first time with Emma the first night in her room and now i deflowered her again in 0.3.
Because the variable was probably not set when we played the first Emma scene.
When i replayed from the start it took the first night with Emma into account and i got a different second scene.
then i looked int what happens if you avoid the first Alex scene and got the same result the next day. Which clearly shows that the alternate path doesn't exist yet(?)
so the Alex scene will probably be avoidable in a later build but that's shoddy craftsmanship in my opinion.

it also means we are probably best of waiting a few updates to get the intended experience.

 

[Vasy]

Unless I missed something, the Hana scene seems unavoidable as well.

 

[RandomGuy99]

There many scene that is in the shown in the thread sceneshot but does not seem in the game. I'm not sure those pure promo or what

if you subscribe to his patreon, i see he has been working on Ep 7 already, it seems like before posting here, he prepared for quite a long time so the update speed is quite fast, only 3-5 weeks, that also means the images we see could be in the next updates

That kinda concerns me. Its great for quick releases, but will that make them less willing to tweak stuff in the future? Normally these post-release discussions are a place for the dev to see what did and didn't work, but if they have almost four whole episodes stacked and almost ready to go, how willing will they be to go back and rewrite stuff?

I think, this answer depends on the developer, so the only way is to ask him =))

 

[NeoKilua]

As far as i van see version 3 alex was never forced on you alex has 2 option 1 option which is vanilla and can never be femdom, as she sucked him of in a 69 position or vanilla poison or the maledom option.

Never did the red version as im not a fan of it but was it the same scene For turn the tide?

There 2 ways options for girls will go optional where you choose the outcome

And there a girl who has a femdom path and cannot be moved from there aka maledom.

Plus i also think once somone gets thier 1st scenes who a main char, they be avoidable but don't expect a turn the tables on a femdom girl or femdom path.

 

[NeoKilua]

Hana wasn't that a flashback flashback dont count as he currently did it it was in tur past aka happened before game started aka plot.

 

[Naps-On-Dirt]

No, there was a flashback with Hana being bullied, but the unavoidable lewd scene with her was not a flashback. It occurred right before her swim meet.

As far as i van see version 3 alex was never forced on you alex has 2 option 1 option which is vanilla and can never be femdom, as she sucked him of in a 69 position or vanilla poison or the maledom option.

Not sure how you can say "never forced on you" and then say "2 options, vanilla or maledom". That is leaving out the option of walking away, so yes, she is being forced on you.

Hell, I wanted to reject her offer to do the weightlifting. The only family interactions the MC would be interested in (imo) right now is helping Sophie heal, figuring out what Ashley's major malfunction is and making peace with her, telling Alex to "talk to the hand"*, and sitting down with Nora to hash out what HER problem is so the shares & control issue is dealt with.

* thats an expression meaning to ignore someone (holding up your hand as if to say "stop" so they can talk to it because you're not paying any attention), it is not a threat of physical violence like it might sound like if you are unfamiliar with the term.
