Ren'Py - Campus Bonds [v0.3.1] [MCVisualNovels]

The game is still in the early stages of development, but there are plenty of contents. In addition, the girls are hot, and animations are solid. I will keep updating the reviews as the developer continues to work on the game. I would like to encourage the developer to keep up the good work.

Story/Originality: The story is the usual college kid in the hometown. Only difference is that he doesn't have memory loss. The drama does get a little interesting in the end, but so far hasn't really captivated me. The game looks like it used the idea from Being a DIK. 3/5
Renders/Animations: The artwork and the animation is superb. The variations in scenes are nice. The movements are fluid and natural. In some of the scenes, there are body areas that look a little odd. Some of the areas are a little hard to get to to find the renders. 4/5
Sound: The music is a standard college theme. I usually don't have music on when playing games. However, sex sounds would have been nice, but not having it doesn't take away from the game. 3/5
Playability/Performance: The choices are not hard to choose. You either go for it or not. There are mini games but the difficulties can be adjusted, so it's not a chore. There are plenty of contents of course some characters will be locked due to some choices. As of now, I don't know what direction some of the choices will lead in the end, so I chose to go for all the girls. I did not have many bugs other than seeing odd renders. 4/5
Grammar: I didn't see many grammatical errors, so I didn't get confused. 5/5

In conclusion, I will keep this game on tab as it gets update. Very nice work!

very Good looking girls, nice graphics, story plot should be more intense and engaging, overall nice game. harem or not doesn't matter, solo love routes should be good. more tags to spice up the story/plot.

Campus Bonds has the potential to be a pretty good game. There are a couple of areas I feel it’s a bit lacking in, but there are others where it works quite well, and overall, at this early stage in its development (episode 2), I’m pretty happy with it.

The graphics look good, and there’s a good variety of girls – I like that this variation also extends to their lewdability, where there are a couple you can get a scene or two with early on while others are clearly going to take more work. The sex scenes themselves are pretty good too, with decent animation and a variety of poses.

In terms of the gameplay, there are a few free roams, which I think generally work well, but the first one lacked a bit of inventiveness. There’s a fighting minigame as well, but so far I fail to see the point in this, as it takes place outside of the game’s storyline and there seems to be no reward for completing it.

The one thing that I think does let the game down a bit is the story itself. In many places it seems a bit basic, and while I can see this being a realistic portrayal of someone’s first few days at college, there needs to be a spark, a bit of direction, to keep people intrigued. That may well be coming in the next update or two though, with some of the hints given towards the end of episode two.

still short but promising so far, need some font and background update because some of the text its kinda hard to read but its just minor.
story wise still very early, its not fair to judge its an intro pretty much andI like it.
Music was swell
the girls are great have a lots of type lmao overall is great.

Great start dude! There's a lot of potential here.

Gotta bunch of sexy af women with different personalities.
Good looking protag that ain't a midget.
Fun story with meaningful choices.

No major issues with the game. Maybe some of the conversations can be improved. Protag saying golly was a bit weird. Don't think I've ever heard a guy seriously talk like an old Disney character.

Anywaaaay! Keep it up! I'm looking forward to the next update.

Positive points: It is better than I imagined, it is a well-crafted VN, it uses techniques from other more popular VNs (which doesn't seem bad), It has good renders, decent animations.

Negative: Try to be very aggressive and extremely obvious, something that is not, We all know what popular VN we are talking about, which means that comparisons simply begin to arise automatically (in negative ways and with a significant degree of cringe)

I give it two stars, not only because it uses the blueprint in a way that almost borders on the copy right of another very popular product, but also because the music is honestly horrible, you have to put less music with voices, and something that is more enjoyable to listen while you are reading the script and trying to enjoy your work.

Last negative point, the characters, including especially the MC, look generic and lifeless, they look like mannequins, you need to work a little more on postures, expressions, and try to only use one style of assets on the characters, sometimes characters looks like a Genesis 9, and suddenly you see another that looks like a Genesis 3, and the truth is that it is very shocking.

Conclusion: You have a good base, my recommendation is that you need to stop trying to imitate that visual novel which we all know what it is, put less shocking and unlikable music, Improve the design of your characters (try to make them all Genesis 8.1 or higher), they need to look less generic and not look so similar to each other, Improve expressions, make postures look more natural, and don't place so many love interests, less is always more, good luck.

The story is good hopefully it will evolve to a better story in the future. The character design are great with a good size of bust and ass unlike some games with over exxagerated breast and butt. The free roaming of the game is well place and the photos are place on the right where it is not easy to find but not so hard that you give up looking. My only major proble is that the animation in sex scene is not good especially the expression of the ladies during the intercourse. Thw kissing scene animation is not that bad but I hope that their eill be a part that the guy will pull the girl for a kiss not automatically the kissing scene

There is inspiration and there is rip-off, this one unfortunately is the latter. It's a plagiarism of the most popular porn game and it offers nothing unique, there's zero effort put into the story, character creation or anything really. Renders are good and animations are decent and it's the only reason I'm not rating it lower.

So far there's not much content either although that's to be expected since currently it's v. 0.1. For me it goes on ignore list though because almost nothing here is good and sandbox/free-roam gameplay is too annoying (it's not the worst I've seen but everything screams "I'm a rip off").

4/10 game IMO..

Promising for a brand new release.

Every character looks good, if not great and there is nice music throughout above the usual generic affair.

There are a few noticeable spelling errors and the lewd scenes are decent but come a little fast for my tastes. These are both minor issues to me for how early in development this game is. I also want to give the story more time before forming an opinion but it seems like there's some effort being made to set up and tease things already which I like.

Definitely keeping an eye on this and will update my review as updates release.
