Ren'Py Come Home [v8.18.5 Premium] [R.J. Rhodes]

[SomeoneX22]

is there any way to quit the sandbox mode? i really don t like porn games with sandbox even if the game is good

Have you tried the game? It's not even sandbox, just separate story icons for each character.

I really don't understand all this hate to sandbox games, at least with sandbox you get repeatable content, decent worldbuilding, and sandbox games designed mostly to be played without walkthrough or save-scumming. Would take sandbox any day instead of "branching" VN with 100500 paths, hidden variables and RePlaYaBiLiTy. Some clowns even have guts to call their VNs role-playing games like Between Two Worlds dev

Most sandbox is lazy where only one thing is right and you waste time going around the map when a VN would have been better.

All sandbox games are a pain in the ass,

The good thing about Come Home is that it's not a classic sandbox. It gives you the freedom of sandbox without its constraints. It wouldn't work otherwise, because you are free to turn on and off any of the twenty LI's paths at any time. So you can focus on the people you like when you like. The in-game hint system even shows you when a character has new content available, especially so you don't have to endlessly click and/or repeat scenes.

a complicated porn game

Come Home is the opposite of that. It's very user-friendly, and the main/frame story will be finished with update #20. Current update is 16.
Maybe play it a bit longer than 5 minutes before you judge it, you may be surprised.
A lot of sandbox haters who tried Come Home came to like it after looking past their preconceptions.

But if you don't like it then you don't like it. All good. There are enough other games on this site for everyone.

 

[Grimtown]

(...) not a good game for me.

That's alright. As I said, to each their own.
I can't but wonder, though, about this point of your review - "Third: there is no point in playing an story that in the tutorial tells you the main objective "find the father" isn't important, in other words, that means the dev will keep adding stuff without developing the story, so, a sex-scene simulator" - because RJ, before she started developing the game, was/is a writer by trade. All the LIs have great stories. This game is the opposite of a sex-scene simulator where you are just bombarded with porn. It's a mix of VN and dating simulator.

Also the story is already written. "Just" needs renders and has to be put into updates.

I was originally hesitant try the game because of the sandbox but I'm glad I did. Because the game is awesome.
And all the LI are super hot.

my point is

Wow. You must be a game dev. That, or you are a psychic, so you know how the game and dev are without even playing it.
In that case I'll leave the rest of my comment in my mind. For you to read at your convenience.

we know, you liked especially on izzy's gangbang scenes.

I'm impressed you lasted that long. That one was an instant The List™ response from me.

 

[Joshy92]

I would totally have a big orgy with every LI in the game.

 

[vrdude18]

Directed at newb Gyatu!!!!

Totally blocking and ignoring this newb. Obviously hasn't even played the game so has no idea.
They are missing out on the best game by being ignorant. Their loss.
It's not a sandbox game
It's easy to follow and you get to see ALL the scenes if you choose to do so.

Yeah, call me an optimist.
Sometimes one of those REEEview people just have had a bad day and/or too much to drink and come around to actually checking out the game later (and silently adjust their rating), but well... sometimes it's just dummies trolling. :shrug:

I would totally have a big orgy with every LI in the game.

I sure would love that.
RJ, however, would have to pose and render it. So I very much doubt it.

Hey vrdude18, just in case you'd like to change, I slightly updated the Come Home banner last update.

Need more Lisa scenes.

I like Sandbox games when it's like this and it's just a means to select who you want to romance and when. A tiny fraction of.. I guess you could call grind .. were you have to go on dates to progress but at least there are different conversations you can have each time so it feels more natural.

well there is until you have gone all thru besides 1-2 extra convos.

From the FAQ: "
How long will the game be? When will it be completed?
The game is planned to be 20 chapters long. Releasing a new chapter every two months, that puts the final release pretty far down the line. I would guess sometime in early 2025. "
Is this still accurate info? Or with the larger updates etc we're nowhere close to the end of the line? This game is 3 1/2 in the making and it was supposed to take 4 1/2 years, which from what I have seen on this site easily balloons from the inception.

 

[Grubb]

You might have to find out for yourself by trying saying no to joining her. It might end the relationship entirely, or it might just move it to the friend zone. If you can't be friends with someone like that, I guess just stop checking her thread, or turn off the heart entirely.

I did say no, and it looks like that blocked her completely. So I'm guessing the only path available for her is that one. Oh well.

The FAQ is current. I just forgot to edit "every two months" - which was the line from the very first FAQ - to "every three to four months". The updates have indeed gotten larger, but update #20 is in sight. Next year.

The dev's estimate from Nevember 2023 is

#17 - March '24
#18 - July
#19 - November
#20 - March '25
