VN - Ren'Py - College Kings [Act 2 v6.0.4] [Undergrad Steve]

great game so far cant for future updates great overall concept so far. maybe in the future f the game there can be new characters introduced and maybe even wilder scenarios for the main character and hopefully the develpoer can continue games like these in the future overall 5 star rating so far reminds of another game just like this they are both great

Review of 0.2.3

Pros:
1) unique (AFAIK) 3-axis morality system, really promising. Might lead to many more branching paths than most games.

2) Love interests are hot, currently kind of vanilla (diferent flavors of white girl) but room for expansion and a developer specifically promising more options in coming updates.

3) animations are nothing to write home about just yet, short with low frames - - - will change this section after playing 0.3 update .

4) developer update schedule is apparently very active. 1 month from initial release to 0.3 is nothing to sneeze at.

Cons:
1) Early development will show itself in the length and depth (As of 0.2.3)

2) Still early in plot profession so might still veer away from "two frats don't like each other/ slice of college life" plot that 0.2.3 makes it seem like is coming. On the other hand there's a lot (lot) of worse games to be compared to.

Developer (b/c) i know you're active af on here: lean all the way into the 3 morality axis as soon as you can.

The VN has alot of great stuff going for it. First of all amazing renders and models with different variation in faces and looks. Second the dialogue and banter is great and reminds of the good old days of romantic comadies like 10 things I hate about you. Dialague is sharp and flows naturelly and does not have endless exposition. Third the game is taking a realistic approach to relationships, while at the same time acknowledging that it is an adult VN first and foremost, so it will not be a mindless rump where you fuck every girl until you get bored. There will be consquences for your actions and you will need multiple playthroughts to see all branching paths.

so far i love the game. the story and the characters are interesting. the render are beautiful. the fighting minigame has a good concept. love it. but the MC looks kinda like a kid but maybe after training for the fight the MC buff up a little bit? i dont know. overall awesome and cant wait for the next update.

0.1.1 Review

I really enjoyed playing this game. Took me around 30 minutes to play through, so while there is a decent amount of content there is not a ton which is understandable for a first version.

Firstly, I enjoyed the render quality. It looks clean and I liked that some of the scenes had animations. The models look good and so does the scenery. Some of the indoor scenes and also outdoors feel a little overexposed on the characters though. Another critic is that some places look a little empty, for example, the hallways which are usually more crowded in a school.

Secondly, the story is nice. I like the theme and also what the story is trying to do. It really has great potential of opening up and becoming really interesting. I especially like the rivalry between the two main frats.

Thirdly, the music is good. I like it and it fits the theme of the game very well.

Some other things I'd like to comment on. The UI is interesting, on one hand, I like the in "in-game" UI with the buttons and phone. Although I find the main menu UI a little too confusing for me personally.
Also, there is not much "real" sexual content with the MC in this version, which is unfortunate but understandable for a 0.1 version.
Some transitions between scenes are a little too harsh, so to smooth them out would improve the immersion, with either doing "20 minutes later" or have the screen going black, but preferably something more creative than that

So to summarize:
I enjoyed this first version and it's a solid start with only a few minor issues.

+ Good render
+ Nice characters
+ Interesting story
+ Solid Music

* More choices for the player would've been nice.
* UI is both good and bad

A solid 9/10!

I really enjoyed this game and will definitely come back for the next version!

0.2.1 EDIT: UI is improved and is no longer a problem!

Awesome Experience. Very good Storyline with good plot development and character development. This gives a very immersive experience. It is not for those who just want to fap. This is an immersive experience which can be enjoyed even without the explicit content.
