VN Ren'Py Defending Lydia Collier [v0.17 Beta 1.3] [White Phantom Games]

[zainon]

Which route did you take to meet her?

-ellie's path
-pick ellie side when their mother scold samantha
-ask to stop hitting samantha when talking to their mother at kitchen (i forgot the exact sentence just don't chose the option with oven or lightbulb something)
-be rough on their mother, she is a sub

As the moderators declined to do anything about it, if anybody reads the completely retarded review by destroll (hints in the name, it is a troll account), the game has a total of 13 forced clicks across nearly 10,000 renders and 3 years of development. 99% of the stuff on the computer and phone is optional and you can simply click power off if you wish to avoid it. There is no forced grind or storm of clicking required as falsely claimed by this sad user (who admits he deleted the game about Day 4 in the story, so he missed 95%+ of the content and yet still decided to drop a review).

You're free to think the game sucks, the models sucks, the story sucks, you're free to review the game one star because of it if you wish, but don't try and pretend the game has some kind of grind/forced clicking mechanic because you're too stupid to click the exit button.

take a deep breath WitheP, there are enough here who enjoy your game.

a bad review doesn't represent what others think...just keep up the good work.

 

[Echoesinthedarkness]

Can confirm, I successfully skipped all story scenes in the game and went straight to fucking Steph

 

[Canto Forte]

There is no bad review! Steph conquered even that gloomy gamer, he stayed for her.
As with the shadows, the one girl MC meets first in this game is the best babe of them all.

who enjoy your game

Steph

Game Steph!

Hi! It's my first time downloading the android version of a game from this website. When I open it, it asks me to give the app permission to all files. That seems kinda odd to me. Is it trustworthy, should I grant permission?

As long as you have "the 66"'s version then yes, he makes the android version for dozens of games including mine and is a very helpful guy who does all of his work in the spirit of helping the community grow, not just android ports but helping developers with coding, converting and all sorts. I've trusted him to put code he made into the game myself when I didn't know how to do certain things, so I'd trust whatever reason it needs those permissions are benevolent and helpful.

Edit: I checked the66's Discord, the reason it needs the permission is so the save files are stored externally, meaning if you delete the app then you'll be able to redownload it in the future and your saves will still be there.

I can't speak for any of the ports not made by the66 as they're all completely third party and not made by me, but Sam and the others that run the site do a good job of ensuring nothing malicious is posted on the game pages.

 

[Echoesinthedarkness]

that being said, asking for such permission is ridiculous, and there are lots of android ports (which have persistent saves too) that doesnt do that

As an android player yes grant permission, it is usually just for persistant saves. But you are keeply safe

Most android ports with persistent saves will ask for permission now. I find the only ports that dont ask dont have persistent saves

 

[Canto Forte]

my android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage, because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I know tales from unending void has it, when new version comes out I just reinstall it and everything works like a charm

Play protect apps will not even download if you refuse to give the permissions they need,
they are endorsed by the Android sistem provider and almost never tell you why they want the permissions.

Wtf does that gibberish even mean lmao

The big 3 are almost mutually exclusive, with the exception of following Vanessa's path and having Ellie on the side.
Jenna and Lydia are available to have in the side of you follow Steph or Ellie's tired l routes.
Lydia might join your relationship of you date Steph, Ellie or Jenna.

I got a question about that part that I just bolded and lined out, was that a typo or is that an actual thing that can be done ? and if so how ?? Those 3 have their own paths and should be exclusive yet you are saying you can have Ellie on the side if you go for Vanessa ? Now I am not sure if you made a typo or something else but from what I tried I cannot get this to work or happen, so my question is, IF this is actually true, how did you achieve this because I want to give it a try ?

Thanks in advance.

It's up to the player to decide if he wants to play it or not, most know porters uses the same thing and the permissions, try DA's, Estrada or Wills ports and you will see that...

Just romance both of them. You will not be able to start the Dark Path, but you will keep romancing both of them.
But if you start the Slut Ellie Path, you need enough trust with Vanessa to lie to get about Ellie.

Yeah finally managed to get it, thanks. Might not be able to start the DP yet seeing as the dinner has been postponed and yeah was a big trial and error for me, interested to see how this goes.
