It seems you missed the point to it.I really liked Triangle, but felt it had a lot of wasted potential.
While I loved the throuple ending, dev could have created multiple paths based on in game decisions deciding who MC ended up with. MC could have ended up alone, with both girls leaving him, staying exclusively with her girlfriend, switching to the new girl, sharing his girlfriend with the new girl but without becoming a throuple and finally a throuple.
AKT, was an even bigger waste of potential. It felt like the Triangle warmed up and tossed into a medieval setting which didn't fit to it. The medieval setting could have given it a backstory but nothing really came from it.
This game at least is back to the present, I have no problem with it being slice of life but I hope dev will this time make the effort to explore the different possible relationships more deeply.
The devs don't come here but even so, people know by now what kind of games they make and this isn't going to be any different.Why didn't the dev call this "Quadrangle"? So far, it looks like a clone, with one extra character.
Come on Neverlucky. I have no problem with the sharing, strap-ons, etc, so many complain about in your games, but honestly, how about a little creativity for your third game. Even the model is the same. I hope at least there is a story this time.
Mod features:
- additional background music for the game, adapted to the scenes
- a music jukebox for playing the tracks manually
- MC renaming function
- additional game setting (change/adjust dialog text font, size, outlines, text background, game quick menu)
- a shortcut key for my Mod menu ("Shift" + "k")
- walkthrough hints (but not really needed for the game)

Everyone, real quick!! Close your eyes and imagine your favorite porn star. Got it? Eyes closed? Good!! Now open your eyes and say out loud "I wish there were fewer movies with my favorite porn star."Man this dev has zero imagination and creativity. Same models. Same story beats. Same plot rehashed in a different dress in every one of his games. hard pass.
A profound and refreshingly informative critique.Another mediocre render game not that much of a step up and for 2022 its very mid. Of course the biggest crux are the trio reskin and another probably kinetic and tediously boring plot.
second I saw the models and premise, I was like SKIP. bro make something else than you and your gf find a cute young girl to fuck. this is literally the third time this happens ...Man this dev has zero imagination and creativity. Same models. Same story beats. Same plot rehashed in a different dress in every one of his games. hard pass.
I agree entirely with the underlying sentiment in what you are saying.Everyone, real quick!! Close your eyes and imagine your favorite porn star. Got it? Eyes closed? Good!! Now open your eyes and say out loud "I wish there were fewer movies with my favorite porn star."
Cynical jokes aside, the repetitive models might have more to do with the patrons than the dev. Like... If I owned a lemonade stand and was making decent money making lemonade that a regular and reliable set of people enjoyed and visited often, why would I be like "SURPRISE! No more lemonade! I got tired of making that delicious thing that I know you all enjoy. So now I am selling Grapefruit Juice!! I hope you like it?"
Some devs are more risk-adverse than others, and it's hard to blame a person for a lack of creativity when they are consistently and reliably providing content that appeals to their fans. Sure, maybe this dev is the Thomas Kincaide of Ren'Py porn. At least no one comes to these threads complaining about milking or starting shit that gets the mods with an itchy trigger finger [winces and hopes that is true]
Yes, but just because someone else can or might do something, doesn't mean he/she should be required, expected to or even, must do. Then when he decides, as is his right, not to, he should not effectively be labelled and referred in terms of someone who's somehow failing or failed in a duty to those who have no palpable personal interest or stake in the outcome of what he produces anyway. It's none of their business. After all this time as you point out, no-one except perhaps whatever patrons he has gathered around him, is going to change or dissuade him from doing what he loves in the way he loves doing it and why should anyone be arrogant enough expect him to?You'd think a dev working with Daz as long as Neverlucky has that the renders would actually grow in quality and lighting, but it looks like he just set it in neutral after getting to a decent level and is just coasting.
In nearly five years with Daz, his renders haven't improved in the slightest. They're flat, dim, and even worse, he's repeatedly using the same models. I fully stand behind the view that you have no right calling yourself a creative if you aren't pursuing improvement constantly, because as any artist in any medium can state, you can always improve. If you don't, you're just coasting. That's all I said, and if you look at all three of his projects, it's not an opinion. It's basically irrefutable. When you start doing lazy shit like reusing characters, making the same game over and over, and showing little improvement, you better bet people are going to call you out on it.Yes, but just because someone else can or might do something, doesn't mean he/she should be required, expected to or even, must do.

When you put your material out in the public, you leave yourself open to criticism. When you start doing the same shit over and over, people have the right to criticize you. It's simple criticism. I said that from the perspective of a developer, so I'm not sitting back and blindly criticizing from some imaginary pedestal. I know just how hard it is to make a VN/game, but why waste all of that work being on autopilot with your render quality? He's already fairly popular, so why not attract more people with improved render quality?If people don't like what he's doing then go away and leave him alone. They've no right to badmouth and dismiss him, because what he's doing doesn't meet their standard or ideal. It's arrogant and unmerited and comes from many who can only, or perhaps just prefer to, sit back and criticise those who are working hard trying to at least create something they truly love and enjoy for themselves and for anyone else who finds enjoyment in what they do themselves.
Yeah, it is judgement. Because a lot of people put in the work to constantly improve, and it's straight distasteful to those supporting your work to just stay the same. I know exactly what kind of effort it takes, the process in which it's done, and I simply know that not improving in any meaningful way in five years of using the same program is nothing more than being lazy - and lazy means it's by choice. I simply find it not to be a good look.That, to me, is judgment and, in my opinion, judgment is solely the province of peers, mentors and actual investors of themselves in the creation, not those who have no actual involvement whatsoever and therefore no credible basis on which to decide its value, other than their own ignorant (of the processes involved in creation, production and delivery) and wholly irrelevant idea of what it shouldn't be.
I actually think I was pretty nice about what I said. Could've just as easily gone "HuRr DuRR! tRaSH tIeR rENdERz Go buRR!!!!1!11!"Opinion is one thing, judgment is totally different and many cannot or even if they do, refuse to, see any need for them to be applied fairly, decently and respectfully, as distinctly appropriate.
I really dislike this style of show AND tell narration. We can already see that the MC is changing his clothes because this is a visual medium. Imagine going to a movie and seeing subtitles telling you that the character is currently walking down the street or eating lunch. I think it's a big contributor to why everyone says his stories are boring.View attachment 2017776
Cathy?
I think even the dev is getting himself confused with these identical models lol
I don't even remember what the plot of Triangle was (if there even was one), but AKT at least had some halfhearted stabs at some intrigue when the MC goes to court, only to have that plot line almost immediately fly out the window for some more "the MC and DAZ model #2 are currently riding a horse, as you can clearly see by the render that is being displayed on your monitor" (did that plot with IIRC the king being maybe murdered or something ever return to the story? I quit playing a few updates before the final release).I really liked Triangle, but felt it had a lot of wasted potential.
While I loved the throuple ending, dev could have created multiple paths based on in game decisions deciding who MC ended up with. MC could have ended up alone, with both girls leaving him, staying exclusively with her girlfriend, switching to the new girl, sharing his girlfriend with the new girl but without becoming a throuple and finally a throuple.
