Ren'Py DropOut Saga [v0.12.0b] [LazyBloodlines]

[NadaMucho]

I just finished the 12.0 and I really, really enjoyed it. We are drowning in junk sex AVNs which do please a certain audience but it's wonderful to have a title like this one which focuses on a great story and characters with depth. I don't need a whole bunch of decisions and I don't need the mc to jump on every girl he sees.

Dropout Saga is one of my very favorite AVNs of all time so my advice would be to ignore the haters and keep doing what you are doing. The relationships the MC is building with the girls and how it conflicts with his past and his mission is really the heart and soul of the title. Keep at it. Well done you!

TBF, this MC is more likely to get the girls to all jump on him, instead. He is a manipulative devious psycho (and I mean that in the best possible way).

Well they sure are drawn to him but I almost feel like with the college girls, at least, they are drawn to him because he's not a manipulative devious psycho. I've always felt, through this title, that those girls (Jasmine, Julie, Ashley, Lila and Asuna) will break him.

It seems to me that he already cares for, if not loves them, as a protector.... well at least Jasmine, Julie and Ashley and for the others he treats them fairly and with care. Girls like that kind of shit. The only real fly in the ointment for me is Ava who I can't stand but she does provide a counter-point to all the girls who really do like.

Oh, yeah, half of him really does care, but that is the best kind of manipulation. Using empathy and caring to get others to want to be with you? Absolutely. And young ladies this age, surrounded by entitled asshole guys? Absolutely bigger impact for this kind of wooing.

I always get the feeling that he's trying to guide or help them. That he knows the day of reckoning is coming where he either has to start using them or start hiding his real intentions from the Pack. I guess I like to think that his "good side" will prevail but that's why we're all here and it's been a good ride so far.

Enjoyed the update, but am also getting the feeling that Lazy finds Sophia a lot more interesting than I do. She's inescapable. Asuna wore a little thin in this update too. The pace and my interest picks up so much more when it's him with Lila or Jasmine and Julie instead.

I don't think I saw Asuna at all in this update except for a bit of flashback. Whole episode is basically Jasmine and Julie. Maybe you're one behind? ver 0.12.0b is the latest version.

I'm up to date, but it looks like I played the last two updates in one sitting, so yeah. Didn't realize the dinner with Asuna was part of the last update!

It would probably feel less like Sophia was constantly grilling the MC or being jealous or doing whatever with a gap in playtime between the two updates too... not that that changes my feedback very much, since the game presumably will be played start to finish by people once it's complete.

Sophia was constantly grilling the MC

Hey at least she has the right to grill him. Ava is constantly demanding answers, to be included and to have a role in all their combat plans when she's a derp who can't hold a gun the right way up. Maybe I should be thankful for her because she definitely takes the heat off Sophia in my shop.

For a build in li, Sofia isn't bad. She wants answers because what MC does is dangerous (for him and potentially anyone standing near him) and with the school girls, she wants to make sure that his head is on straight, that he's not unnecessarily complicating his job and above all that anyone he's screwing understands that she is the queen bee. It's not an unreasonable list of demands.

To each their own!

Yeah, Sophia was awesome in this update, and I love her more for it. Pretty sure she has nothing against growing MC's harem. She doesn't want MC to get in trouble for it, tho. Also her perceived jealousy this update stems more from her being pissed that either MC is blind to the facts in front of him (can get him killed) or isn't honest, because she knows he isn't an idiot.

Also, she is in charge of defending the home while MC is out and about, and all the women MC is collecting don't make her job any easier ^^

Well... had this game for quite a while in my backlog and now that I am playing it.... I freaking love it. Story is good and imo quite decently paced, a good MC and by this I mean as character, etc... We are flooded with the typical boy that is most of the times meh, but when you have such a let's say developed character is like a breeze of fresh air. The girls are ok too and again, imo is a departure a bit from the norm, each having pros and cons. The one I can't really put my finger on is Ava, she seems like a wild card to me. Music again is top notch and to be fair, I did not expect to hear Elfen Lied theme song here, that was a really nice surprise.
Speaking of music. there is a song i can't find, tried to google it.Shazam it and nothing... Well not really nothing as I did find something based on the lyrics but is not the one in game.
Where the song is when MC is at their pool with all the girls (the first day Jas and Julie are there), and part of the lyrics is "Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old. A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold" This song as already said, gives me SoA vibes as I guess some of The Whte Buffalo songs i see in game as well.
