VN Ren'Py Dual Family [v1.22.1ce] [Gumdrop Games]

[Joshua Tree]

It's a great walkthrough for "The new players" it should be in the op so that they do not stuck at one stage for too long (they can deliberately do that though) Since it's all about how YOU (dear player) want to enjoy THE GAME...

In that case it should been added to every game thread on the forum no?

In short... fuck this game

7 Stages of "fangirling" on the Dual Family Thread.

1. Appreciation - Appreciation being the first stage is where you showcase the naive hope for the game's unique premise of dual perspective and a promise of a good incest story. An adult game where desired women do not throw themselves over easily and where the men seeks a promising romantic interactions with their family members instead of diving directly into the incest pool. "Tis gonna be gud", you say.

2. Critique - the systematic observation and analysis after playing few chapters of the game. This is where you express the discipline of critical thinking, be it formal, vulgar or plain incomprehensible. You convey your thoughts through a detailed review, comments and discussions concerning the story, dialogue, mechanics, the developer, angle shots and plausible scenarios of the game's future. Pros and Cons. Boobs and fucking skeletons.

3. The Buying and Waiting Game - this stage depends on the level of appreciation you have after the second stage, along with your financial capability. High appreciation levels leads to investment. You crave for more, so you invest hoping the developer would deliver his promises and continue the story you learnt to love. You either pledge or pirate but in the end, you yearn for more. You commit to the story. You commit yourself not on the developer but to the game. Your anticipation is killing you, your desire grows stronger...and you wait. You fucking wait.

4. Denial - You kept on fucking waiting. You deduce you have been betrayed or the game is abandoned. You've been conned, swindled, slandered and cheated. Nothing makes sense. The developer is gaining traction, more patrons, more pledges yet he still failed to provide what you paid for (or pirated for). Your thoughts wander off, maybe he's busy. Maybe his grandfather died. You won't dare render boobs at a funeral, would you? You assure yourself that everything is alright, that this is part of the healing process. A stage where you contemplate on the possibilities of a future you invested into. Humanity has made first contact with aliens, interplanetary and galactic war is waged, mankind has destroyed itself and ventures off to the cold frontier of the unknown yet Chapter 10 is still not released. A captain has assured you that everything is alright but all the thoughts and feelings you were repressing begins to surface and starts wrecking havoc.

5. Anger - "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!", you convinced yourself you're confused but in reality, you are burning inside. Your interrogative thoughts are replaced with exclamatory rage. This is the stage where there are no limits, you just had to displace your anger somewhere: in the comments, in the discord or at that one guy who contributes nothing in the thread but incomprehensible off-topic blab. You throw yourself into pointless discussions and arguments. Anyone who disagrees with you is now a prime target for your anger or if you're chill, watch as everyone in the thread meets the end of a ban hammer and have their posts deleted by a moderator. Collectively however, pirate and patrons unquestionably agrees on the source of the slander. The culprit is the developer himself.

6. Bargaining - As the result of your anger, you withdrew your pledge and wander the high seas, into the ocean of adult games. Bargaining is a temporary truce, you can devote yourself into other adult games as a pirate or a patron. You decided to leave this thread for a while, only visiting once in a while to pay your respects to the Captain. You ventured into the General Discussion boards, to prominent games, make or watch fan-arts but despite your treasure hunts, despite the downloads and lotions, you came crawling back. Maybe it's out of curiosity or Dual Family has grown into you. Somehow, it pulls your ship back to its shores. Someone has offered a bargain. Not you. Him. Kyle. The developer. He lures you with treasures: pin-ups, previews, teasers and promises. He shows you boobs and immediately you are back into his island of false promises. You're back here again, in the Dual Family F95 discussion thread...waiting.

7. Acceptance - there is no stage of depression in the ocean of adult games. We're degenerates, pirates and patrons alike and you've reach the final stage - acceptance. You've finally accept the fact you've been duped and fucked in the ass. The truth that this game will never arrive to a point where you get to see the protagonists engaging in any intimate, sexual activity with their desired other. The Son will never get to copulate with his very own Mother and the Father won't be the first to take his Daughter's virginity.

You've realized that complaining, whining and arguing in the discussion thread nor at any platform doesn't do shit. He fooled you once and you realized, the developer is a con man. He fooled you for the second time and you realized, you're an idiot. He fooled you the third time and it dawns on you, the developer is damn good at his job. Not in conceptualizing such a promising game but on managing his industry - milking.

______

You watch as new arrivals and members has not progressed far from the stage of anger. You laugh as you see yourself as one of the new commenters pointlessly arguing at each other. You're now content to what is given by generous patrons who has not moved pass the Buying Game. You lowered your expectations so low you're not even bothered waiting. Teasers? Please. You no longer care for the game, you just want to bust a nut, nothing more. You haven't involved yourself to the story nor anyone in the thread as before. What saddens you now is the Captain can no longer post his logs.

Maybe someday, you'll reach the 8th stage. The stage of departure. The last stage where either you abandon the game or the developer abandons the game for good.

good thing i skipped steps 3-6

Dual Family rating stars are falling, wish something.

Milkdrop?

 

[Joshua Tree]

Damn what the hell Gumdrop wants? Dark Cookie will rise the nazis once more only givin the people what they want... I dont get it how Kyle wants money. He have some strange kind of supporters. Plus... DC knows everybody dont like so much of Jenny then he give a nitro on 0.18 ... is already on 21% updating almost everyday. Your move Gumdrop?

Need to stay away from those fumes man....

Sorrys... i mean: what is the point for delaying? Dc of Summertime saga already will bring the update 0.18... and he gains a lot of money...

I don't understand what it got to do with Summertime Saga and Dark Cookie though. Which by the way, ruined the game imho, and I stopped support him on patreon. Imagine that -)

As for Gumdrop, if the update isn't ready, it just isn't ready.

Ask yourself a question ... Why should he work if he is already paid for empty promises? In fact, he does nothing and gets paid. I dream of such a job)

Again, what stop you? or anyone else for that matter. All you need to do is come up with a story, get someone to do graphics for you, someone to code the thing, then score some public domain sounds or get a composer to make some original score for you.
Make a good demo, release it, advertise, get some traction and followers, and that sweet "free" money will start flow in right?
Of course you might have to pay said graphic artist and coder out of your own pocket for a while first, or start learn those skills yourself. If you look at that "The Sexpsons" game it doesn't really take much. Heck, you can use RPG Maker, almost any monkey is able to make something in that engine. That free easy money doesn't sound as easy any longer?

Btw, someone quitting their day job for making adult games with patreon as income source is really climbing far onto a limb.

Sooner or later, that limb will break... and you can't look for a job telling HR people that you made incest porn games in the last 3-4 years: I wouldn't put it on my CV for sure.

Well you could always seek employment in "San Fernando Valley", maybe some there would be interested in your story skills, lol.

Imagine the cv's you see on people working in the adult industry... What willing to do, have done etc... lol.

Well, look at all the "incest fetish (roleplay)" porn out there. You could probably cater to quite an audience (market), with a half decent story. Damn, I'm old enough to remember when porn actually had some cheesy half decent story as well, and not just "wham bam, thank you ma'm"

Professionals don't care about the content of your past work, as long as it's technically impressive.
One of DC's most popular artists made a lesbian dom comic for years before becoming a fan favorite at DC. Disney and Marvel has done the same.

How is it possible that Kyle now collects 8.7K a month if he had dropped below 8K a week ago -and without counting their patrons on their website-? For a Christmas minigame without action? In the end it will have to be proved right with him. His patrons deserve to be milked until they are left without a penny.
