VN Ren'Py Eruption Imminent [v0.6.1] [MorriganRae]

[OneWayMissile]

I want a relationship with my mom, but we don't even have oral sex, and I won't even mention sex. If chapters are released once a year, I'm afraid I'll have to wait 5 years for that (or at least a deep relationship with Fiona, she's second in my favorite LI's list, but judging by the dialogue after sex, she's afraid to start a relationship with us that might not work out and ultimately ruin their friendship).

From my understanding updates used to be once every 4 months before this one

Okay, we get it, but what about in-game wishes?

For real, if Natasha, Ashe, Delilah and Vanessa don't let their hair down, they'll have tension baldness.

Well I don't think it would make Natasha look any worse.
She already looks like someone took a baseball bat to a lasagna.

And now imagine what would happen if the dev would have to do this and also try to match the skin and body of all of the characters as well as the different environments and poses the girls have sex in.

Then go back and read all the comments about the pople whining that updates take forever and then think again if a 5 second clip of in and out, without showing any sexface or emotions, REALLY is worth it.

Hey, maybe my kink is getting denied updates, did you think about that?

Having to wait an extra 7 months for half a second worth of animation is getting my nips hard.

Omg could this count as a new Form of NTR? Then it could start a full new wave of discussion. Maybe that will last us until the update drops.

I guess if we want to Branch away from the Blackmailer Dilemma, I could ask what people think about the Future Harem Tag.

It sounds like this Party is going to have a lot of Branching Paths. Which is fine, don't get me wrong, but I worry about it in terms of Pathing.

I like the Harem Genre because it usually means I can Romance/Fuck everyone, or most of everyone, in just One Playthrough. One of my least favorite things to do in VNs, RPGM, Sandbox or anything else, is having to Replay an Entire Game just to nitpick different Choices. It happens in the Best Games too, the problem is just kinda universal. All of this could of course be fixed with a Skip Section Button, but I find that's almost never an Option short of just having a Save Ready and praying the Choice where you Saved isn't already Fucked up by a Prior Choice Path. Basically I don't want a my Main Save doing the Sole Rachael Path, only to have a Separate Save for the Sole Vanessa Path, and have to Skip through the All the Dialogue of the Vanessa Path JUST to weed out the Differences for having picked Vanessa.

My point is - with all the Options this Party may or may not have with the Love Interests, I hope the Choices are done in a way where I'm not Missing Out on people I don't want to Miss Out on. Eternum is a Great Example of a Well Written Harem, where once you pick the Path of All of Them, you don't Miss Out on any of their Fleshed Out Moments; they all still feel Intimate so to speak. But some Harem Games focus on the Path Itself, rather just Grouping Up all of the Scenes/Development in One Run; making it so that the Harem Route Misses Key Scenes in just say the Straight Forward Singular Path.

I hope that all makes sense. I want to be able to Romance Vanessa and Rachael down the line, potentially at this Party, without Missing Out on their Paths BECAUSE it turns into a Universal Path. Does that make sense? What are all your Thoughts?

My issue with those is the "mile wide inch deep" problem where you try to give the player too many options but then up with a collection of very shallow experiences instead. Id rather just a handful of options with a lot of depth instead.

so what kind of IC content, and is there sex in the game not seeing anything in the screens on page one. Thanks!!

Except that's not a Hard Requirement for Harem, you just have to be a Good Writer. I've seen too many Well, Fleshed Out Girls in the Harem Genre for that to be an excuse.

That's not to say it can't happen of course, I understand what you mean. But what's the fucking point of a Future Harem Tag if you're just going to dumb down every Path as a Result of Dating all of the Characters? At least when it comes to Games like this where Romance/Story is clearly going to be a Focus over Sex.

My point is you can do both, utilizing the Illusion of Choice, and still have all of them Fleshed Out with their own Paths. Hell, you could just make the Game operate normally with each Individual Path, and then add a Check for if you're Dating Multiple to Trigger Harem-Specific Interactions. It doesn't have to be, "Well you picked Rachael at the Party, so now if you pick Vanessa, you're only going to see Half her Story." And then later down the Harem Path anyways, she acts as if you went down the Main Path with her.

There can be time for both. Just let us Choose Who we WANT to Path with, and who we DON'T . Rather than Only 1, Semi 2, Iffy 3rd Choice, you know? It's not a Time Constraint, cause you're going to have to Flesh Out all the Individual Paths regardless, so why make it a Chore to have Several Saves to spot Minor Differences in the Story 90% of the time, while the other 10% are just You picking Someone vs Someone else.

Again though, I only say this BECAUSE there's a Party coming up, with Multiple 'Branching Paths' apparently, and one of the Future Tags IS Harem. And I just worry how Morrigan will actually juggle our First Potential Multiple Girls Path.

Like a geyser. Or a volcano. Specially with Vanessa.

Futa on female and futa on futa. It's not as much as many other games yet, but it's there. A big party with an orgy is planned for the next update. For now, here are some examples of what's already there.

Is it just me, or does anybody think ZOEY might be the Blackmailer. She's like a Wildcard entry. No background, just appears and disappears. Either she might be the blackmailer or she's working with the blackmailer. Anyone??

Seems unlikely given that she basically doesn't give a fuck about anything. She likes to fuck around, that's about it, and if she wanted to make Ashe do some weird sexual shit, she'd probably just ask or coerce her while being face to face. Doing some elaborate blackmail and undercover surveillance is SO much effort for a character like her.

Hard for me to put her that high on the suspect list.

You do make a good point. Well.....hope the next update atleast gives us some hint.

Firstly, she doesn't need a background; she was needed so Ashe could lose her virginity and become more liberated.
Secondly, she hasn't disappeared; Ashe continues to communicate with her online.
