Ren'Py Abandoned False Hero [v0.39.1 Beta] [Enyo Eerie]

[il497]

Let me preface the following by saying that I just recently saw the new direction of the game, and unlike some I am not angry, just disappointed to see the change and the way it was carried out, though I do understand where Enyo Eerie is coming from. This whole comment is not me heckling the creator (nor is it wholly accepting of the changes), I'm just trying to express my thoughts in a hopefully constructive way... Sorry I'm late to the party, and I'm even more sorry for the length of this all.

Anyways, Enyo Eerie, there were a few things in your explanation post that bothered me. First up is:

I can't create things I don't like.

I dropped this update with a lot of changes out of nowhere. Didn't warn you about any changes, didn't prepare you for it, didn't share a difficult process that the game was undergoing...
I was too sure that what I do is better and you will immediately feel it

I agree about this too: "Now that Melanie is willingly participating from the beginning kills part of the thrill (for me"
The game became much simpler in terms of tension etc. Although, you need to notice that it became better in all other aspects. I definitely lose smth. from the previous versions. And it's inevitable when you're redoing something. But my opinion about dark content has changed. In my opinion, the previous content was too painful. I don't know how you feel about it, but as a creator it wasn't an enjoyment for me. Believe me, guys if I'd continue to do as dark as I wanted it to be, this story would be the saddest shit you're ever read. It was only the beginning. Metamorphosis by Shindol would be a child play in comparison to me.

The main quality of my game is corruption and it will never go away. I just improved the pace of it. Corruption is not only about blackmail, rape or other stuff for me.

Corruption is not only about blackmail, rape or other stuff for me. If the girl is interested in you it doesn't immediately make her a slut, it doesn't mean that she can't be corrupted further.

P.S. Let's be honest, guys. The personality of Melanie or Lucy didn't change. I wrote these characters and I know how they react and what they will do. Melanie was always like that as well as Lucy. The only thing that changed are circumstances in which I put the characters in

Melanie was always a naughty girl. Because of blackmail she turned into a simple victim/doll without a personality, which is being reluctantly corrupted. Now she has a distinctive character and has the right "to want".

Again, this was not at all me trying to shit on you Enyo Eerie, it was just me expressing my thoughts and providing (hopefully) constructive criticism, including pointing out certain points of logic you had that I did not agree with. I was able to put in so much thought and time writing this because I genuinely enjoyed the the game and story as it was before, and I would've loved to see it be fully realized (maybe with a bit less death & sadness though) because of its excellent balance of intensity and lightheartedness. As much as I do not see myself enjoying the new direction things are going, I will still try to give it a fair chance for now. Anyways, I hope you got something out of all my rambling, if not, that's fine too, and regardless good luck with the rest of the project.
(also sorry if a lot or all of this has been addressed/discussed previously, I feel like I did a good job of skimming through everything to make sure I was adding to the discussion or saying things in my own unique way, but it's possible I might have missed some things...)

Wow I didn't realize just how much that was... Sorry again for writing so much!

Edit your post and put the text behind spoilers to shorten it. Nobody is going to read a giant wall of text like that.

 

[il497]

I've never done spoilers before, so hopefully I do it right!

 

[il497]

Also, thanks for the suggestion! Was that how you were suggesting I do it?

Yep, makes it a lot easier to navigate. Thanks.

Dev notes 12/02/2020

Hi! Sorry for the long silence. But here are dev notes again. I'm getting my lazy ass back on track and from now on I will try to make posts about the progress of the update at least twice a week.

Let's dive right into it. I'll start with sad news: Initially, I was planning to finish this update in 2 weeks, but as you see, the whole month has passed and I'm still working on it. While I was doing this update I understood one important thing. I shouldn't focus on one character for the whole update. The beginning of the month was quite productive, but right now I feel like I'm doing the same thing all over again. Routine and work on similar stuff kill my productivity. My creativity has lowered too. So from now on, I'll try to do new content with at least 2 characters.

But fortunately, I'm already super close to releasing the update. All events are translated and I'm working on pictures for the last 2 events.
Also, the end of the month painfully reminded me how long I didn't do wallpapers. The plan was to release them after the new update, but the update was delayed so now I don't see the point to delay wallpapers too. So today I started working on October wallpapers. They will be ready in a day or two. (yeah, October wallpapers in December)

And I didn't forget about November/December wallpapers. In a couple of days, I will create a poll for them.

Enyo Eerie, i like these new characters development more than previous ones, especially Mel, don't listen to complainers, it's you game and your decisions will shape the development of all game aspects in the end. I just hope that you'll try to bring new updates more frequently so there won't be long wait as before, you have a solid base so now you can try to build events and paths further more and please try to make current saves compatible with future updates, that's the most important task in my opinion, this is one of the best corruption games i played, but if saves are not compatible yet again, one can play same old so much before he gives up on playing everything from the beginning no matter how good is the game. That kinda happen with summertime saga for example and people were just waiting for saves or unlocked gallery to see new scenes with every update, it kills whatever game tries to accomplish.

Wow....took a break from these games and man this game changed a lot. And not for the better as this game seemed to go backwards not forward.

How old was the MC & Mel when they knew each other as kids?

10-14 years old, not sure if it has said ingame as how old they were.

Thanks, I noticed in one of the chats with her daughter I think, that he was 8 when they met

Melanie was a bit of a pedophile, trying (or getting) to fuck a 10 year old XD

The game seems to have an NTR tag but i'm wondering if this is one of those NTR tags leaning towards netori or netorare? From the brief description and some brief gameplay, i'm guessing it's more netori? Just looking for confirmation

atm no ntr (unless uses very wide web and hubby and wife having sex is ntr) besides if mc decides not to help mel's daughter in distress, on prev. version there was ntr where that cafe guy bit molested that paralyzed girl.

I would say it has netori vibes, and further along we get, it certainly feels that way. Personally, I'm really hoping it is

 

[Malkovichi]

Game is good. But sandbox mechanics needs to be improved
