Ren'Py - Edgefield [v0.1.0] [Undercover Pop Games]

so just played this initial release (v0.1.0) and i like whats here. the artwork is nice and having an introduction section where the majority of the characters introduce themselves as a way for dormmates to get to know one another was a pretty good idea!
i really like the artwork (ai-assisted or not) and thought the females were all rather cute! i didnt play the female route but playing from the male perspective it seems pretty good and the story makes sense so far! each of the characters introduced has a clear personality type and the fact that the game will let you befriend or romance whoever you want is a good idea!

on that note, id like to see more options for each choice instead of just a single option for a friendly comment and a single comment for a romantic option! maybe have like a friendly sarcastic response and a cool friendly response and they each affect the MCs stats and how the other character will view the MC! the same could be done with romance responses which determines if you are a smooth romantic or the bad boy/girl!

the only real negative thing i had to mention about this game was the bit where you choose your pronouns! is that really necessary? wouldnt the game function the same way with or without it? personally i didnt care for that but it is what it is and i know some people like that kind of thing. just personally, not a fan. then the other thing was that there was only one lewd scene before the game ended! was hoping for more, but still enjoyed what was there!

aside from t just being a short demo like experience id recommend this to others and will be watching this one to see where it goes! good luck dev!

Can't wait to see more. Love the art style and the story and characters seem very promising..! My biggest hope for the game is just that they continue to work on it and don't let it fall off into the void like some of these more ambitious projects tend to do sometimes.

Visually it's excellent. Although it uses AI (obviously), it's well implemented and edited, allowing the game to feel fluid.

The gameplay is that of a typical sandbox, so it's up to each user to determine whether it's good or bad.

The story isn't great; it's limited to an MC who moves with his family to a new city and begins a new life, something that's already very common, which is why it doesn't stand out or seem interesting overall.

However, I think the game's biggest "problem" is the amount of content the dev is trying to create with this. First, having a male or female MC, then choosing those ridiculous pronouns, and finally, all the possible "paths" that could make the game inconsistent in the long run.

The ideal is to make a game with your target audience in mind, but here it's clear that the dev is trying to "please everyone," which never ends well, since if you don't like a piece of content, you'll have to wait, because in this update, they focused on that.

It's not a bad idea or game, but it's trying to cover way more than it can handle.

Very good graphic, and the story sound ensticing ! the ability to choose if we want to befrend someone or romance is awsome too.
The annonced content seem very cool. and a game with actual story is reafreshing
I will folow this game closely

I usually skip a game as soon as I see an AI tag, but decieded to look into this one since the art seemed different. What usually really drives me away from AI games is that they all look the same but the art is incosistent, which is deal-breaker for me, I don't see that here so far.

The start of the game is pretty okay, what weirded me out a bit is the constant smiling faces, or never changing facial expressions, but mostly the smiling.

The conversations seem a bit unnatural at times, at least to me, but hey the game's just started and things can change quite a bit from here. There's not that much content right now but I think it has a lot of potential!

Great potential! I'm looking forward to future updates from the creator. The character concepts are fun and the art is clean. A game that has full choice path and response is definitely ambitious but worthwhile if it's kept up.

Good writing, nice art and actual animated sequences. Could develop into one of the highest quality porn games out there. Best of luck! Need another sentence for the caracter minimum but i really have nothing else to say right now, so please support this game so it continues.

Not a bad first start for this game. Characters look very nice. Story has potential. I really like that you can choose just how you want to go with each character in every conversation. Curious to see if that will incluse his Stepmom and stepsister in the future. Would like to see if we get a choice on using those condoms or not as well. It needs to be a free choice type of game. LMAO. Also going to be interesting to see if MC gets a sharing option available with certain characters with his brps as well. It was suggested in a conversation so lets see what the future holds. Very excited to see how this one progresses and if the stories all develop and progress nicely. Hope there is a bit of buildup before he gets to bang every girl in the game as a lot of games just make it way to easy. A little build up os fantastic and too much is not. Finding the sweet spot in between is the makings of a good Developer. As I said these characters were all presented nicely in the small amount of content currently there. At this point there isn't even a first day of class yet so we must wait to see if it gets better from here. Good job so far.

The game seems great, the images are actually amazing, yes AI has been used but its clear this takes much more creativity than other AI games, these seem a lot more personalised and hand crafted, even the starting scene, the bedroom that probably won't be seen much anymore had a lot of detail. Story telling is great, the intro actually hooked me compared to most games that don't feel like stories.

Really interested in this one. I like the art and the mechanisms already present. Played through it once for both main characters and had fun. The game left me wishing the current release was longer but I take that as a good sign. Looking forward to further releases, hope they come!

A lot of promise with this game.

Just looking at the map and you can see the ambition in this one. Only reason I can't give it five stars is because it's only the first update and there's not much content. That being said, I can see it easily changing to five stars as the game gets bigger.

well damn;

this game is as ambitious as it is promising.
drawings are rly well made (ai and 2d both), characters are diverse and nice to look at, basically has everything for (almost) everyone.
text and dialoge is also done by someone who obviously knows what he is doing. game sets the atmoshere from the get go and humor is spot on so far. the quality of the product is is visible in every scene.

couple this with the big cast and the fact that you can play a mMC and a fMC route, ad the fast amount of promised tags and this could become HUDGE.

only concern, as ppl have already pointed out, is the size of the project. looks more like something for a whole dedicated team then two half-time solo devs.
but as said: IF they can pull of recular and satisfying updates and can keep the tone of the game and the promise in tags, they probably have something BIG in their hands.
