Ren'Py Dilemma of Devotion [Ch.4 Ep.1] [PulseHavenStudios]

[Hawkflight]

This would be great without the sandbox moving about.
I'm sure it could be make quite kinetic and follow a set path.
I tried to navigate around a bit, and it got too much within a few minutes.

I'm sure the game is great, if you want to do all that manual running around and waiting for the quest hours to arrive, but to me that's simply too much hazzle and energy to put into reading a, hopefully, great story.

I agree with some of the lacking info, talked about above, but it looks nice and is probably great.

If you do make a kinetic version I will love to read/play the story/game.

Yeah, despite my criticisms, I think the game has a lot going for it. It's mostly the way the stories are told that frustrates me. The order seems off, and the pacing is often much too fast.
There's an event with the MC going to a student's apartment; she says she has other plans, and he goes to another student who's her neighbor. Then the first student enters that apartment, and both start to demand time with the MC... Apparently the MC promised to visit her to watch a movie, but depending on the choices you make, this makes no sense. Why would a conscientious and uncorrupted teacher ever want to spend time with a student alone in her apartment?

Spoiler: Bituka's route is strange as well, depending on choices - some of my notes

"Harem: Corruption/Corruptible girls only , Romance girls cannot be put in harem so if you find this odd please refrain from playing"
Does anyone have the list of corruptible girls? and romance girls are basically a relationship only with her or you can have several but they don't interact or something like that?

This is first floor , I will finish all the content for these by december's end.

Then 2nd floor will be started which what I can confirm the first character will be Fubuki.

hi, thank you for replying, i have just discovered the game and i have a doubt, i understand that the first therapy is important if i have all the loyalty points that leaves me out of being able to interact with the corruptible girls?

No therapy doesn't lock you out of corruption even if you had the pure one , however if you're corrupt then loyal therapies will be locked away behind the stats and that will result in you not progressing through the main story + the loyal girls for ex one of them being Zoey.

I want to give you my opinion, I hope you take it constructively, the main problem with sandbox games is the timeline, many times you end up seeing events that should have happened after some events of other characters. I just played Bituka's first event, and there is a yearbook mentioned, and Claire seems to be single now, things I haven't seen yet, I recommend you to place certain conditions for events that make reference to others or if you ever make another game better go for the VN side, the sandbox can give you some freedom but a better constructed story and with more chronological sense in my opinion is better.

Edit: I just realized that you have another game "NBIJ", where Kiara is the main character, is the story of that game linked to the story of DoD, or are they the same characters but in a completely different world?

It is in the same universe yeah.

And I went for sandbox because I wanted players to pick the story of who they wanted to go with , not shove 11 girls in their faces and then make them remember choices of each.

Both have their pros and cons, the only recommendation as I said is to establish more conditions for events that can make reference to others, because for some people interested in the story it is annoying to read something that has not happened and the story starts to become incoherent.
