VN Ren'Py Completed Exploring the Big Apple [Ep.7 Fixed] [Dimajio333/SadPepper]

[TonyMurray]

Of those two images I posted of one I am sure it is the epilogue of cheating with Martin, the other I am not sure because I have not seen it but I infer that it too is an epilogue, but certainly both images are not part of the endings i.e. when Patrick is called by his boss to work on the anniversary day. In fact the first one i.e. with Martin they are surprised later in time as a date than their anniversary.

These all come in before the epilogue, it's part of the anniversary before dinner with Matthew:

In the second image, the code looks for "not option52", if it's "true" you get Emma messaging Martin back to say they should meet up sometime, if it's "false" (not sure on the requirements to get that, as I don't know what option52 flags), she messages back to say she's alone, come on over. However, once you get the Martin scene here, it then goes directly to the epilogue, rather than to Matthew's for dinner (and potential extras), so I think there could be some funky coding there too.

Filipis, I caught your message just before hitting reply. The answer is yes, and I have put a selection of the screenshots in the spoiler above.

I see. I must've been blind not to see those scenes while I was scouring the game files. Were these found in the "images" folder or somewhere else?

Seeing all of the jumbled code, errors, and missed calls for ep.7 makes me furious - ep.7 had more meat to offer than we got, but a decent part of it is never shown to the player because of the mistakes...

Dimajio really needs a better process for marking his routes and options. Errors like these aren't simply from rushing the code, it's because it's almost impossible for a human person to remember what "optionXY" is supposed to represent, for fuck sake.

Who played, tell me... HOW MANY ENDINGS ARE THERE IN THE GAME???

I hadn't looked in the image files, I just saw them come up in the game (but only after I tweaked that option in URM). They are there though, I just found them, filenames are "bg 7 (234)" onwards.

I dunno for sure anymore, I think maybe six in terms of the epilogue? Vanilla/loyal, caught cheating with Martin, caught cheating with Matthew, cuck sent pics of Emma with Martin, cuck sent pics of Emma with Matthew, sharing with Martin (I didn't see anything for sharing with Matthew in the epilogue).

I mean, is this scene (where Emma invites Martin over to the apartment when Patrick leaves for work) rendered or not?

AFAIK, I didn't see any such images in the game files that depict Emma & Martin in her apartment. The only Martin x Emma scenes in ep.7 are the photoshoot, and the "epilogue" cheating scene in Martin's apartment.

Yes the images I confirm are rendered, they are part of the epilogues, as for Martin it is called 'bg 7 (381).webp' and Matthew the 'bg 7 (389).webp' and they are located in the images folder of the game.

These are different scenes, he asked about the scene before the epilogue, where Martin visits for sex with Emma while Patrick is called to work on their anniversary.

I doubt dimajio will go back and fix up the ep.7, so will there be a hero?

I considered it briefly, but don't see the point as the end result would still be a middling experience, just slightly more coherent.

I've actually played all the paths, but I didn't have that scene with Martin either. pity

Well, I'm a big fan of NTR endings in his games, and out of those, the #1 for me is Make Me Happy, with Pineapple Express sharing second place with Sharing My Fiancee.

One major aspect of endings in NTR paths I expect and enjoy are witnessing the consequences of cheating/NTR (though, preferably positive for the cheating FMC), and dimajio's endings don't tend to do that very often or in a satisfying manner, ironically enough.

Make Me Happy is the only one that shows the player (MC) what happens to the FMC some time after she leaves him for her lover, and that's great - really hammers home the fact that the FMC is now happier with that guy than she was with MC. Call me weird, but if you keep making choices that "let" your wife cheat, you deserve to lose (and not get any revenge) for your incompetence. Sorta like the saying "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

Sharing My Fiancee also has that type of an ending, though for some reason, we never get a proper epilogue of what happens to her when she leaves us.

Pineapple Express shows us a pregnant Julia, but then skips the pregnancy part and shows her enjoying regular gangbangs... which ruined that particular ending for me, if I'm being honest.

I realize as I'm writing this, but none of dimajio's endings get a grade higher than 7/10 from me, so I guess I am saying he hasn't really made the perfect (NTR) epilogue for a game yet, IMHO.

Thank you for your answer. I see it exactly.

I think it's a bit messed up, because as well as being difficult or perhaps impossible to "organically" see, it also then sends you to the epilogue instead of to the scenes at Matthew's place for dinner.

I doubt dimajio will go back and fix up the ep.7, so will there be a hero?

I considered it briefly, but don't see the point as the end result would still be a middling experience, just slightly more coherent.

I don't have the time, inclination, or coding knowledge to make more than minimal changes!

THANKS FOR THE ANSWER. I am also confused.

The pictures I refer to and posted are of the 2 different epilogues (Martin and Matthew) of the same cheat path. One triggers by itself Martin's as you showed, the other however if I don't edit with the mod that at some point option:18 from true by itself changes to false, it doesn't trigger.

I really like this game, but at the end of the day, it’s just a game—and it’s already finished. Debating every little detail won’t change anything. In a way, it’s kind of funny and strange, especially since there are four different story paths, and each of you is talking about something different while still liking each other’s posts.

 

[psychedevil]

A game is just a game, a movie is just a movie, a concert is just a concert, etc. People still talk about stuff even when it's a finished product.

Maybe it is me who is wrong but I often use the: 'like' as a sign of gratitude for the one who responded to me.

Didn't he say that this is just an "early preview" and he will release the final product in a week? I guess would probably make some technical corrections then.
In his patreon, in the message with the download.

if it is so,that sounds good

Yes, the images you posted and refer to are from the epilogues, but they are not the images that were being asked about - Filipis specifically asked about the pre-epilogue scene of Martin visiting Emma at her home. This is not the scene where Patrick finally catches them...

No, he was referring to the fact that this was supposed to be an "early preview (for his Patreon subscribers)".

Unless I am reading between the wrong lines, that's how I interpreted his sentence - especially as dimajio does have public releases AFAIK.

Phenomenal game! In the sea of games on this forum that look like they were made by a child, with nonsensical stories and graphics so abysmal they're unbearable to look at, this game is not just a breath of fresh air but a true masterpiece!

First and foremost – the story! I'm thrilled with the story! Above all, I love that the game offers multiple scenarios (cheating, cuckold, netorare), allowing the player to choose the path that suits them best and feels most appealing. Furthermore, unlike the vast majority of games on the forum, the story avoids all those unnecessary and ridiculous situations that would seem absolutely unrealistic and impossible in real life (no exaggeration). Additionally, each possible scenario feels quite realistic and plausible in the given context, without unnecessary over-the-top elements.

Second – the characters! Just like with the story, I'm absolutely thrilled with the characters. Emma, above all. A beautiful and attractive young woman, portrayed exactly as she should be – with all her needs, temptations, and the inner struggle she goes through (especially in the cheating path). Most importantly, she’s not depicted as some wild nymphomaniac or a cheap street corner whore.
The characters of Martin and Patrick are also very well done. Martin, as an older and experienced guy, a womanizer (at least according to Patrick’s father), a predator who plays his game very carefully and cautiously, drawing Emma deeper into his web with every step (referring to the cheating route). Patrick, in any of the scenarios, also comes across as excellent and, more importantly, realistic.

And finally – the graphics! I’m speechless! Literally! In a sea of games that look so bad, dreadful, and exhausting to look at, where everything seems like it was made on a computer from 30 years ago, the graphics here look insanely good! And above all, I’m referring to how Emma and Martin are portrayed. Emma's face, her body, her curves, her breasts, nipples, and the lingerie and clothes she wears; Martin's face and body as well—everything looks flawless!

All in all, huge praise to the creator! Even though I haven’t played his other games, I definitely will. I also recommend that his fellow developers take a look at this game to see what a perfectly designed game should look like!

P.S. I hope the creator will decide to make at least a slightly longer version of this or a similar story in the future, with the same or different characters. I would really love to see that, and I’d pay whatever it costs!
