Yeah, when I see Honey Select I wince. It takes a really good game for me to overcome my distaste for HS. Fortunately, there are actually a few that have managed to do that for me.
Me too. I just find HS too cartoony/anime. I don't mind Eternium, it's an excellent adventure game.
Doesn't Renpy have nothing to do with the renders ? I thought it was just an engine for the interface and stuff like that.
Yes renpy is just the framework to make a VN, images are generated in another software (daz or hs). But you can use other frameworks than renpy, like unity or rpgm.
this one matters, from here on out i have basically started to run 2 paths, if she stays you follow queen paths and if you take her with you are on mantisHopefully this hasn't been asked 1 million times already:
Is this choice of any significant importance, or does it just change flavour text? The WT mod doesn't highlight the choice, so most likely this choice doesn't matter that much. Just wanted to confirm

Thanks, thats good intel. I'll create a save here and make 2 paths.
Agreed. I support some 20+ devs on patreon and SS (and have supported some dozen others previously) and they’re all but one using that combination. HS or koikatsu don’t really do it for me unless it is so crazily kinky, wild and well written that I’ll be able to overlook its cartoony style.
If you are heroic idealist then the only women you should have sex with is your wifeWill curiosity kill the Kat?... Just kidding
Well, I just don't think it fits the personality I've molded for the character.
I mean, if I just wanted to watch porn I could go to any of the millions of sites on the internet, but in a game I'm looking for something else (a very popular discussion topic on the forum) and luckily this game provides me with an attractive story and enough freedom to choose the path I want the protagonist to follow.
The Stalker can be anything, from a lusty sadist to a heroic idealist, and let's just say that the choices I've made so far in the story lead me more in the latter direction. Having sexual relations with his niece is outside of the previously established moral principles, which takes me out of the story and creates disaffection towards the main character.
That's why I say that I don't mind waiting until the problem is resolved, in order to maintain the consistency shown so far.
I hope I have satisfied your curiosity.
Correct. But as I said, Ren'py is the superior engine for VN's (without too much gameplay) compared to alternatives like Unity or (gasp) Tyrano. And Daz creates superior renders compared to HS, TK17, The Sims etc.
Technically Daz is more work with posing and rendering compared to HS etc. so it's technically a poor choice for lazy devs.
I would have said 'inexperienced' rather than 'lazy', otherwise I agree with what you have said.
What I meant was, that, if I were to develop a game, I'd definitely be a lazy dev, because I don't have that much free time and I'd prefer telling a story over creating pretty renders.
Some HS2 games have amazing renders though. It's just very different.
Yeah, that's it, but You do need to put in a lot of work to make HS game to look like Eternum, Pale Carnation or even Now and Then directors cut
