OK I know I'll sound repetitive but your work is fucking amazing.
The story, characters, text, art..all perfectly blended in and with the right amount of quality.
I didn't even finish this version and came here to tell you this. Also usually I'm not super attracted by lesbo scenes but this one was really hot :)

Keep up with the excellent work @Ryder77

Not bad! But you should stop zooming in on the images as they are not the best quality to begin with ;)

Thanks.

(And I have no objection to repetitive praise ;))

But... but.. the images MUST be displayed up close, in all their granular glory! :)

But seriously, I know what you mean. I think we're coming up to the chapter where I upgraded my computer, so hopefully the new images will be a little better for the balance of the story.

Why do people even play the games of genre they don't like? If you start playing a PORN game with a female protagonist and decide to refuse all the sexual content = you don't need to play this kind of games and be whining about them. It's not your fetish, so leave it be

I've liked the game so far. I was hoping she could go with the slutty office outfit, but it would seem it isn't implemented as of yet. Nevertheless, I enjoyed playing it.
Thanks. And keep reading... your outfit wish may be fulfilled.

"False premise of playing a law graduate, instead; another retard."
"Main Character have less than 2 brain cells"
"Painful to read"
"dumb slut game"
"You have a moron for an MC."
"no substance to it at all."
"I can't recommend it at all."

-Avaron1974

Some people like it, some people hate it. Me, I've never tried it.

-I Hate Peenoise!

Perhaps I'm just reading too much into it, but I confess that I got the distinct impression that Avaron1974 did not enjoy the game. ;)

Eh, as someone who actually did study law, I can assure you, this 17 year old catholic school girl pretending to be a law grad wouldn't stand a chance to make it to the bachelor. Law students tend to be more on the shrewd and sociable side and will bully you relentlessly if you're a stick in the mud. They are definitely nerdy, but keep that on the down low, they know the value of being presentable and sociable. The ones who more often go full stick-in-the-mud-nerd are the language studies for women and STEM for men (CS excluded), and the people who go full blown debauchery tend to study arts (music and such)

As someone who not only studied law, but has also practiced it for many years, I don't know that I agree with your observations as to the nature of law students or lawyers. Lawyers, like anyone else, run the full spectrum of personalities.

Having said that, Descent is not intended to present an accurate portrayal of life as a law student or lawyer. A realistic game about life in a law firm would, other than being an effective cure for insomnia, have little to recommend it.

Ah, don't hide behind relativist statements like that. Different professions attract different personalities, some character traits make you a dead ringer for one job or completely unsuitable for another. A propensity for violence is a necessity for a policeman, the ability to focus and mentally work out an abstract problem a requirement for the STEM fields. Law students are surrounded by aspiring and practicing lawyers, not only talkative people, but argumentative, nay, positively combative people, who constantly feel they need to demonstrate their sharp wits.

You have practicing law experience? I'm surprised, there was (so far) nothing that really gave this away, I assumed you had chosen the setting arbitrarily and then did some research to give it some fluff. I did during play briefly contemplate if the guy writing this has actual law experience, but figured no, because there was too little love for the legal aspects of the job, and also, the MC is still not striking me as someone you'd meet at a law class. The first thing law people want to know from other law people is their specialty, their focus, public law, criminal law and so forth, and that never came up with any of the "lawyer" characters, I believe. With this new knowledge in hand, would seem you didn't go into more detail because you didn't want to elevate the setting past what people only superficially familiar with the legal system through TV shows and such would know and recognize. Since the game now is pretty much complete, my suggestion to include more actual interesting law stuff is pointless, but it would have been be a good thing. I mean, the "generic nondescript office" is a setting done to death, having some realistic law scenarios to puzzle out could have been a nice change of pace.

There's a "doctor game" that I forgot the name of, that mixes up your usual VN-lewd-your-family-business with the occasional playing doctor where you actually treat patients, complete with identifying rashes and prescribing antibiotics. I mean, it's not a great game, but at least it something that stands out, you know. But don't worry about it now. Something to keep in mind for the next game maybe. "Lewd Lawyer" maybe? You litigate for hotties "pro boner" and fuck testimonies out of witnesses? There's a million dollar idea trademark don't steel!

No hiding. I just don't think you can generalize like that. Some lawyers are like you describe, but others aren't. There are lots of different areas of law, lots of different types of lawyers and plenty of law students who never become lawyers. Perhaps your experience was different, but that's how I remember law school.

Heh. I said I studied and practiced law, not that I have any great love for it. Besides, the realistic legal aspects of the game would be unutterably boring.

I honestly don't think I've met very many of these "law people" in my career. But maybe that's just me.

You are correct that that I don't really focus on the setting in any great detail. In real life, the practice of law of the type practiced by Watson Turnball is a fairly tedious affair and not something you'd want to see portrayed in a game in any accurate fashion.

Something to keep in mind for the next game maybe. "Lewd Lawyer" maybe? You litigate for hotties "pro boner" and fuck testimonies out of witnesses? There's a million dollar idea trademark don't steel!
All great ideas. :) Not for me, though. I won't be doing this type of game again.

Yeah that half the law students don't become lawyers is probably the most important thing to remember. Still, the type of person that tends to become a lawyer does have an impact on the sort of culture that develops in the fields. Observe: You're as argumentative with every single one of my posts, as I am, thus each one of your protestations is simply underscoring my point!

Oh yeah, :p, you made that exceedingly clear

You mean, a lewd game? That'd be a shame. There's never enough of those. If you mean, you're down with more lewd games but don't want anything that contains "law" in its setting, well, the most basic writing advice is still "write what you know", which is why virgin incels probably shouldn't write visual novellas about being Chad Thundercock unless it's some designed as some kind of post ironic satire.

Touche! :)

If I do another one of these types of games, it will have a completely different structure. It won't be a VN style game. I have something in mind, but need to learn a lot more about python before doing it, though.

Ah, I've toyed around with such a thing, like an open world daytime life simulator, repeatable events and visitable locations? It's mostly renpys screen language that you really need to know there, any python needed is typically so basic that anyone who can do basic renpy editing will not find himself troubled. It only becomes programming intense if you want actual minigames (like Summertime Sagas money-earning minigames, or bullet hell and platforming minigames I've seen in others) i.e. stuff that isn't just the player clicking on things.
