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

[Deleted member 7636288]

Also the developer has been involved with shady marketing tactics in the past going from either "seasons" or "episodes" to "acts" then rebranding it to "college kings 2" when it was the exact same game..

Shady/scummy/money hungry indeed.

Well, it should have been "Season 2" and not "College Kings 2" since, Part 1 is still going. Can't make a part 2 if part 1 isn't finished.

I think each Season has "Acts (Season 1 = 4 Acts [minus 4] = 3 Acts total) They removed Act 4 and made it the start of CK 2, which is supposed to be College Kings: Season 2.

(what the first season says) College Kings: The Complete Season... Season what? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6? 7? 8? 9?

CK 1 store page

"College Kings Act I, Act II and Act III, which was split across three Steam stores and game downloads, has now been combined into College Kings - The Complete Season with one Steam store and game download for a better gaming experience"

They didn't really even need separate store pages lol "3 steam stores" what? I think he meant pages. Then he made CK 2 have Episodes (not acts) with each needing to be bought separately. Which is just a scummy/money hungry way of getting more money than needed. Idiots/sheep still bought it too....

Could have sold the whole Season for one price but decided to sell each episode and price them at the same or close to the same price as a full AVN game, which includes all Episodes (if it's completed) or it will receive all future episodes for free.

Just look at all those "Supporter Edition/Supporter Upgrade, Deluxe Edition/Deluxe Upgrade" etc DLCs for CK2 lol if people are buying your game, they are already supporting you.

Edit: Oh, and almost forgot. People paid for Acts when they were released for Season 1. Then the Dev made the game Free to play afterwards. Basically, taking all those people's money for free.

Edit:2 And lastly, the Dev made the game "Unscripted Failed Game /

(which is a TV show title

) a Unity AVN game (which that engine is always bad and causes/has issues) but with less mature action. Dry humping was the peak.

Did the people who bought that game get a refund? or are they forever stuck with an unsatisfying/unfinished product? It sold for $12.99+tax with 100+ mixed reviews.

you know what is funny?
threads name is collage kings act 2 v5.2.7.
so it is like ck 1 act 2 v5.2.7.

 

[Dessolos]

The first act was great but then shortly after the writer quit and its been downhill ever since. Imo a good writer means everything in visual novels, it doesn't even bother me if there's barely any sexual content it just needs an engaging story that keeps me interested and im happy.

unless the writer quit part way into act 1 I still see act 1 as shit the whole going to Europe thing felt so random that to me made the whole fighting storyline pointless

 

[HiP1]

haha I'll be fair my mind could change when i eventually finish where I left off and play S2 where I left off. But I doubt it I always really liked Chole alot might a bit too biased for her. But I always felt bad for Chole and thought Nora was a bit too harsh on her even tho from what I recall both were a fault for the drama in S1.

My 2nd favorite used to be Emily but I recall she left no idea if she comes back in S2.

I'm surprised. I would think you would like aubrey and nora more than chloe when you know their storyline. the writing is better for them. chloe is more generic (story and writing wise) and even though she really loves MC a lot, and she is very faithful, but there is no real reason for that in their story. for now, at least. maybe i should play the newest update to be sure, but i don't think it will change things that much. especially with how the game has been declining since ck2.

Well like I said I played only most of S1 , never went back and played the rest yet. I got distracted with better games lol. However a better written storyline doesnt really always mean I'll like a character more, as I can just like a character more just cause I like everything else about the character especially if they are likeable. I found Chole really likeable for me personally , once I started on her path.

I've yet to really play a Nora save the drama bit in S1 made kind of dislike Nora a bit as I always thought she was too harsh on Chole but also felt bad for her cause of the whole thing with her boyfriend. Kind forgot Aubrey storyline. I did intent to go back and play Nora's save but been long enough that I feel I need just restart and replay everything as I can only recall bits here and there.

First left after act 1 episode 1
all after that was complett different writers for nearly every episode
In the beginning a woman and Steve wrote the story then she left to become an actress ,he left writing also and focused on marketing ,
only like now the story is written by same writter again (it appears to be Steve) from pool party rework act 2 episode 2 to now episode 4&5

Updated my compressed Android ports of College Kings Act 1 to v1.4.18 & Act 2 to v5.2.7.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Due to the size of these games, I've split them out so you will need to install the apk, run it to get it to create the game folder that can be found in your Documents folder: Act 1 = Documents/Eonor/e.collegekings/game and Act 2 = Documents/Eonor/e.collegekings2/game. Then move the archive.rpa file into that folder and re-run the port.

The Act 2 load game menu is a little finicky. Sometimes, you need to start a fresh game and it will then be able to pick up your previous saves.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

Act 1 has the load game issue again. Can't load saves from any menu.

Any way to add or subtract kct points or just change it outright in act 1 through something like console commands?

 

[Xedd_M]

Really disappointed in the story. It is OK, but very disjoined.

1. Different arcs for the various girls should have better cohesion.
   1. IRL a small campus like this the rumor mill about who the MC is fucking would be well discussed and Lauren wouldn't be oblivious.
   2. After Riley briefly questioned MC about his relationships with Lauren, it was dropped never to be discussed again.
   3. The whole Emily scenario doesn't add any value. Either he's a simp who can't get over her or he's an ass that holds her cheating against her. One or the other makes sense - not flip flopping to both.
2. Fight Club story line is ridiculous.
   1. If the girls don't like the fighting, they shouldn't ignore it - it should be a friction point for the MC.
   2. If the girls think the fighting is a turn on, they should be focusing on MC fight skills not his personality.
3. Chloe is a half formed character. Make up your mind. Is she a manipulative bitch or an oversensitive patsy. And follow on with rumors, stories, interactions that prove one or the other.
   1. She can have different interactions based on the MC or the NPCs, but make it viable.
4. Artwork continuity is broken
   1. goes to bed clothed, wakes up in his underwear
   2. clothes disappear without story in some of the sex scenes

sadly it is too buggy. For example i cant flirt with mrs woods cause the option is greyed out.

Are you a wolf or an ape? I think she is only bangable on the wolf path.

I meant you would like Nora and Aubrey more because of the kind of characters they are, compared to the ones you usually like in the other games

maybe we will see when I replay this and play S2 . Only thing I recall is Aubrey was just okay up till the point I played and had mixed feeling about Nora as I didn't like how she treated Chole yet felt bad about her. I recall liking Chole , Lindsey and Penelope the most. Also did like Riley but was also unsure about her at the same time.

I believe thats for Mrs.Rose and i am a wolf. It just is buggy sadly.

 

[Neofolis]

I like this game, but I seem to have major issues at a lot of the Freeroam parts, trying to work out what I need to do/how to advance. It would be good to have a hints option on the phone. I just seem to keep going back and forth through all of the available locations trying to find something to click on, which isn't really enjoyable after ten or more times doing it.

For CK1 Chloe was my clear favorite. Aubrey was a great SG, but didn't really like Nora very much and not interested in Riley (since she was the one I was being forced to interact with the most, you know me. LOL).
But as it moved to CK2, Nora's character developed and she really began to grow on me (especially if you do the parenting thing with her). I do think, like HiP1 said, you would like Nora, IMO, she is really romantic (and hand-holding). So is Chloe, once you get past the bitch she turns into during the election.

yeah been thinking going back to replay this + CK 2 just trying to find the time right now with a few other updates or games I really want to check out been a matter of when but im guessing i'll get to it soon or at least within the next month or so.

I'll make sure to make a Nora save since both of you said she does get better since yeah wasnt a fan of her in CK1. tbh I only like Riley cause she is kind and a hot redhead but nothing special not enough for me to dislike her yet. Lol I even wanted to play Emily's path cause I do like the whole troupe of getting back together with EX's even if she does suck. But when I found out she leaves unsure she is worth making a save for in CK 2

It's up to you, but I didn't bother with Emily, there is barely any content (don't know if there is in latest update - still haven't got to it yet).

yeah im probably gonna skip her content on my replay unless she does come back in CK2 just don't feel like be worth holding down the control button
