VN Ren'Py Elmwood University [Ep.4 Gold] [WickedWare]

[BJ461]

Also I'm only at the start of chapter 4 but (and I know this will be controversial) I'm appreciating the moderate feminism on display? I mean it's much more realistic and reasonable than the shit we get thrown on social media. And the rugby boys acting like women are prizes, I mean it's exaggerated but not unrealistic. I'm sort of dreading a turn when the dev suddenly makes the feminists out to be stupid and evil, but I guess we'll see.

Edit: I just realised that some of our girls are in 3rd (final) year, including Katie... so are we gonna have to break up with them in the ending? That's so sad This story doesn't seem like the type to end with a big harem household full of your pregnant wives... though I'd be happy if it did lol

Yeah, I also appreciate that. And honestly, I'm not sure it's that exaggerated. With how many women I know who experienced some kind of SA in Uni, some of them including full on rape, I kinda wish something like the Feminism Society existed for them.

What? You are saying we can impregnant either chelsea or her friend by that creampie already? Either the walkthrough pdf and mod didn't mention anything about the pregnancy tag until you say so.

No, not Chelsea, only Kat (her friend). If you creampie her, there's a line of dialogue when she ignores you at the gorilla party, and when they do the weird ritual, Freya implies that you might've already impregnated someone, which is only said if you have creampied her. Again, there's no confirmation regarding this, it might end up being a fluke, but these things rarely happen for nothing.

If player really choose to creampie her and that choice is having consequence there must have a flag to remember this choice, just need to check then it can be confirmed impregnant or not.

I actually don't feel like playing any more because of the twins situation Why isn't there a dialogue option like "This isn't just physical, I really like and want to date you. But there are other women I'm dating too, and I can't give them up, because I feel as strongly for them as for you." The other LIs don't seem to have this problem, so why put it only on the twins? I mean they're not even super important so far; they've got very short biographies compared to Katie, Violet, etc. Or is the game gonna keep forcing more branches like this as it goes? It's gonna be pretty depressing if we get Kat pregnant but then excluded from our romantic endeavors!

That's how the light path ulimate skill harem be working, just wait and see the magic of that skill.

 

[BeingADikDik]

What's weird from a game design perspective is how the psych skills go from intelligence and perception to deception. i.e., within the same tree it switches from 'light' to 'dark'. so far, the only way to get with paris and the twins is to use deception, which seems at odds with the game tone.

Personally, I think the game would be improved by removing 'light' and 'dark' altogether. Give possible harem paths for 'nice' girls and 'bad' girls that are distinct and separate if the dev really wants to provide different gameplay experiences while maintaining the harem theme. Anything more complex is untenable from a development standpoint.

Honestly, I'm kind of in the same boat. This game has a lot of really beautiful LIs but getting to be romantic with everyone feels so labyrinthine it makes my head spin.

I LOVE the cheerleaders, I interacted with them every chance I got, but for some reason I didn't get the scene at the party with them and I have no idea why. I absolutely agree that there should be a middle ground with the twins--"I do care about you, but I also care about these other women, and if that's a dealbreaker for you we'll see if we can work around it later." Everything is just a little confusing and it seems like you need multiple playthroughs in a currently incomplete game to feel good.

I also had no option to deck the guy who tried to rape Saki, but it seems like that was an option for some people? I dunno, hitting the perfect scores to do the things you wanna do seems difficult. But I'm not losing hope yet.

Do you need to choose "I want the blowjob" or "I want the cuddles" in episode 4 to get this?

He doesn't know. He's guessing based on the description of the skill in game, and a small bit of conversation at the Halloween party.

So, is the running theory that you want to be honest and potentially lose out on scenes, and will receive a positive payoff later? Although, being honest is what gets you the blowy in the first place, so maybe not.

 

[PEscobar]

The thing is that we don't know what choices lead to what? There is no real Walk through for this game just the mod.. If there was a WT that laid out what choices lead to certain scenes or will lead to pregnancy what have you, I think it might be easier to map out how we want to play or replay. I'm a little disappointed we as players can't make informed choices.

Yeah, I have the same complaint. I'm just playing aimlessly at the moment, just trying to unlock every sex scene I can with no real rhyme or reason to my choices. Just knowing who the routes are you be huge.

 

[OrndorffGhost]

Interesting to read some of these criticisms of the game because it's kind of what I like about it. A game that's on rails in which every choice is just 'do you want to have sex with this girl?' isn't really a game at all, is it? Nothing wrong with a few sliding doors. Unlike life, you can always play it again.

Hi all, quick dev update:

Work is going ok but I am a little behind where I want to be. A few animations have just taken a lot of trial and error to get right but I've got the hardest bits done. I don't want to spoil any details of what's being animated but last week having a character switch focus during an animation from looking at one thing to looking at another is something that took me a lot of time to make look natural rather than super robotic. I also ended up making some of these animations really long to accommodate new details & movements I haven't animated before. But I'm mostly pleased with how things are going. I should have all the animations done sometime in December and then I'll be powering through the still renders.

This Thursday I'll be showing you Katie's picnic outfit.

Hope you all have a great week and thank you for your support!

Go for the cuddles bro, later on for what I understand the "Harmony" skill will mould them to accept other girls in the relationship.
Unlike the cheerleaders for example who openly go for other girls.

Well maybe because normal people would reply "fuck you" towards such a stupid statement ("i love you so much but i love all the girls!!!"). Would YOU be fine with your girl having other boyfriends because "she feels as strongly for them as for you"???

Imo it was great that they reacted that way, it gave them character and i respect them more for it. If they would just agree with everything, it would make them look like desperate puppys and i would lose respect towards them. They are romantic, a bit pure and are looking for a boyfriend and not for a fuckbuddy who fucks every girl at college. Unlike the cheerleaders who are fun-loving or the fem-sec girls who have their very own perspective on the matter for some reason (i suspect at least due to taylors harem queen trait and katie being open about mc dating violet and taylor too).

Give the situation some room to breath, MC has skills (literally in this case) to solve the problem lol

 

[Talmadge]

Just started playing. Love the fact they have a Triple Triad game. In it, if you keep playing someone after winning, do you get more cards from her? Or do you just win the first card only?

It seems, emphasis on seems, that you will get the card on the first win. After that it MAY be battle points, which you can use to buy more cards in the shop.

Taylor's what now?

Do we know what that trait does exactly, or just the name?
