VN Ren'Py College of Mysteria [v0.10] [HappySteveGames]

[mehGusta]

aside from the forced nts with wendy (which i can understand both sides. a/ being that wendy is a side girl, same as grace, so sharing shouldn't be much of a problem. and b/ that wendy is kind of a girl "liberated" by will, so he should have more say in her activities), my biggest gripe is that there are really few variables in the game.
for example if you let cindy get groped in the tavern has no lasting effects and therefore no influence over the gloryhole scene. same as the gloryhole scene itself. you just get a choice to see cindy use the gloryhole, or a scene without her using the gloryhole. from the game's perspective it makes no difference, as the game does not "remember" which choice you took.
i assume that decision was made so that regardless of what you do throughout the game, you are still able to see all scenes.
however it's still kind of strange to play will as jealous boyfriend, letting cindy do almost nothing and then BAM have her fucked by a stranger in the gloryhole because i was able to choose to make her do it.

otherwise the game is absolutely great with the netori and sharing focus and cindy is a gem.

You sure have a point here. But if you want to play 'coherently' it's up to you, you still can. If you want to play lunatic or choose if, where and when your women play around, the game allows you.
In games where early choices cut whole paths, later choices can be just as meaningless.

The Glory Hole was a bit disappointing but will be redone, however the choices are very clear.
The next update is all about making everything as clear as possible.

Cindy can be free in any content involving Eustice for me. I won't care even if there's no choice.
This is me, others may think differently...

wish if happysteve was more present.Is important to communicate with players.He said he will make windy scene skippable but the right solution was to make optional like for Cindy.

When u make something u like,normally u don’t mind to spend time as much it need.

The same here: it's always good to have the dev present in any typical game.
I think he didn't want to go through so much work, so he decided to make the scene skippable.
We already know that choice is always a better path to follow for us as players.

True, that's what matters in the end.
If I were him, I would go back and make the choice. But anyway, it all depends on Happy now.

And what about the progress of the update, how much is the game ready for?

if it are simple "view scene" choices like in this game, you are completely right. there are other more complex means to not lock certain paths early on and still make the game remember, but i don't necessarily want our dev here to delve into something that is a LOT more time consuming. especially if it isn't worth it ours or his time.
however what can easily be made is dialogue changes.
for example in the gloryhole scene nothing implies that cindy goes from sucking strangers to fucking strangers, you are just presented with that fact afterwards.
in playthrough where you were open to sharing cindy, one could write a response from will something like "ah, of course this happened as i left you alone!"
whereas in a playthrough where you were disapproving of sharing cindy, one could write a response like "woah! that escalated quickly! but what did i expect to leave you alone here?"

of course ultimately i am to blame if i play inconsistently, but it sure hinders my immersion in the game.

In his Patreon chat someone have asked: " will the update be released closer to the end of September? " and Happysteve respond : " Yes, most likely."

Has someone by any chance asked which girls are getting scenes this update?

Someone ask for news 4 weeks ago, Happysteve only respond " It's early in progress." and in his Patreon page the latest post his the release of College of Mysteria 0.9, absolutely nothing else.

 

[Poundar]

In the Patron chat, he said release would be closer to the end of the month. Probably not this or next week.

He replied to a comment the other day saying that it would probably come in late Sept. Steve doesn't do a lot of progress updates, but he has pretty consistently updated about every second month.

He used to post pretty frequently to this thread, and probably still monitors it to some extent, but probably isn't interested in a few people complaining about the Wendy sharing scene at him after every post.

Hopefully we will have an update in the next few weeks. No reason to believe that we won't.

It looks like the next update will be a little bigger than the previous one.

 

[Machete]

for example in the gloryhole scene nothing implies that cindy goes from sucking strangers to fucking strangers, you are just presented with that fact afterwards.
in playthrough where you were open to sharing cindy, one could write a response from will something like "ah, of course this happened as i left you alone!"

I didn't notice that detail. I probably havn't played the sequence.

 

[Bugs Bunny :paranoid]

the update is taking a little longer

I agree with you.
I would like to play the game with a possessive MC and Cindy's cuckquean. Leaning towards netori, allowing Cindy herself exhibitionism, maximum handjob, but without penetration or blowjob.
I am disappointed that MC loses these possessive notes as the game progresses, regardless of the choices.
The game lacks halftones.

But the game is still good, and I enjoy it.
The author is great at least because he basically gives choices and does not make it too linear.

And our criticism is not really criticism. Still, we do not evaluate the scenes or dialogues themselves, we just ask for more variables, which the author can easily do, but it will take more time and delay the release of updates.

well put! i agree 100% with everything you said.

 

[Adhdclassic]

Would love to see Cindy full on destroying the upper elites relationships and presenting the women to the MC as tribute. She would send women out like Grace, Wendy, the teacher and the redhead to assist in this. Even though she is already doing it be good she takes advantage of the dutchess role to the fullest. Cindy is the real MC and an awesome wingwoman. But I must remind: NO SHARING CINDY!

 

[fuffek]

HappySteveGames Hey, small suggestion to improve the feel of the game
Try to extend the events/scenes with little bit more different pictures because they do feel like they are to short or rushed

Even just by looking at the example of comment above posting pictures from the Gloryhole scene or the eustice action
There should be more pictures updating the view of the whole scene together with dialog that goes on

For example the Cindy and Eustice from the moment MC left them back to each other, dialog shifts and Cindy is more in like neutral feel and talk with MC , black hair girl (forgot her name) and her husband thro the "magic phone" but the picture remains as it was with her being hard banged even tho the dialog doesn't make you think it was like that, so adding some more pictures to update the whole scene would be better

And the whole bar and gloryhole stuff did feel like it was very rushed, jumping from 1 scene to another and another
So a little bit more visuals (not a slap with wall of text)

I would suggest to take a look (if you didnt ever before) at Shadows of Ambition, probably the best example of good balance of what I mean between the visual update and dialog

As great as the games/story can be there is always somewhere a room for some improvement
Keep up the good work

 

[Crowangel]

i wasnt sure about this vn at first but the story is actually very good.. my only wish is that there was more variation in scenes between text depicting the scenes, aside from that its a good story with some fun lewd content.. just needs more than a couple of images per scene tho
