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

[Grimtown]

Next public update in November?

Yes, at the moment it looks like

Beta ($20+ Patrons) - October 21st
Patron-only - October 28th
Public (Steam/Itch) - November 11th

RJ posted that she will probably finish ahead of schedule and asked her patrons if they'd prefer earlier release or more content, and they chose more content. So the dates will most likely be the ones above.

Good things come to those who wait. RJ seems like a good person who's working hard on making a game with a lot of content that's hard to find anywhere else, and she's been great about interacting with us.

She also keeps an (almost) daily dev diary on her discord server to keep us informed what she's working on. And she provides weekly status updates, but these are patron only. The dev diary is publicly accessible. Great communication indeed.

Thats good info. For some reason (maybe my VPN) I can't do the age verification thing with Discord, so I can't see those pages.

Is the version uploaded here with or without the DLC?

It's the version without. There are no differences in sex or story content thought, the DLCs only have an alternative clothing option for dates.
They were conceived when some people on Steam asked how they could support the dev without Patreon or Subscribestar. The DLCs are there to give people the option to give RJ some bread and get a little goodie - which doesn't impact the story or scenes in any way - in return.

Did she though? I don't think anybody could see anything that happened below the tables.

Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea.

I just played the game and recognized in the last (13th) scene with Lisa where you go on a trip there are shots taken in Berlin in the background during the car drive. Probably stock photos.

Thats fun to be able to notice something like that.

I just got to the throuple part and i have to say i am extremely dissapointed. as ive seen said before the entire situation makes the mc feel useless. like a god damn accessory. The MC souldn't be pushed into a throuple or end the relationship with the girls. I haven't play the game with just suzy or just tammy but I can't help but wonder how the hell the game is supposed to handle that when from what ive seen in game and your responses, tammy and suzy WILL end up together. MC be damned. Your so set on your story that the games that seemed to have some of the best play freedom ive ever seen now removes any real player choice in these relationships. Honestly the best solution would be to allow the player to choose how they wish for the story to play out instead of making all the time and effort that was invested in these relationships feel wasted all because your story made the mc a third wheel and if your not into the throuple shit then you are shit out of luck. Honestly they were my favorite character but after this not only do i not want anything to do with them but the entire game is soured.

They both have separate scenes and let the MC have a lot of input into the relationship. Even after the throuple starts it is very easy to have one on one encounters with them.

Regardless, there's literally 18 other love interests. There's something for everyone and sure to be interests that don't mesh with every player. It's super easy to just set one or two aside and pursue the others.

The MC shouldn't be pushed

the best solution would be

RJ is quite open to and often replies to constructive feedback and criticism. What she's not too keen on is someone playing her game, with the story she wants to tell, for free, and tells her what to do, because the free content isn't to their liking. If you don't like it, play other games - literally thousands on this site - which stories you do like, or do it like RJ and make your own game.
Just as a bit of feedback for you. I don't know whether you maybe had a bit much to drink or a bad day yesterday, but your comment reads rather entitled to me. Like you're complaining that an author and dev doesn't cater to your specific wishes. Maybe you didn't mean it like that, but that's the way you come across.

I do agree with Eticketjedi, that hopefully you can enjoy some of the other 18 LIs instead, but I also know from experience that sometimes a game has some content that makes you stop playing. Happened to me, happens to all of us. It's sad, but as long as I don't even pay for that content, I don't see why there is any complaining needed.

About the Suzy and Tammy storyline: Like Eticketjedi also said, they do have scenes with MC only, but yes, when the author wants those characters to go together, then that's what's happening. Incidentally their story is a good example of how RJ listens to criticism and, if she agrees, changes things. In the last update she rewrote some parts of the throuple conversation, so that it's less harsh[1], and the changes were well recieved.
(I for one like the yummy threesome with Tamzy and Sumy, but that's another story.)

I think the most disappointment from not being able to date them seperately comes from not reading the FAQ. Seriously, it's in there. Since at least early 2021.


Anyway, I hope you can either have fun with the other 18 LIs, or move on to other games. And next time maybe remember that most devs react better to comments if they don't come across as entitled complaining.

Cheers!

CHANGES/FIXES
- Made some changes to Suzy and Tammy's scene where they propose the throuple to make the scene less confrontational.
