Ren'Py Family, Friends and Strangers [v2024.10] [JohnAndRich]

[Kryptozoid]

I love this VN. But I think even if this is more of a slow burn, when there's been more hardcore scenes in the previous updates, you're kinda obligated to deliver some kind of sex scene for each update. In a sense, you could argue that seeing this character (no spoiler) naked for the first time is a new sex scene. But imho it's not enough when we had more advanced sex acts with other characters before. I don't mean the story should have jumped immediately into full on sex with this character, but at least for reasons of rhythm and to reward players, we should have had some progression in sex acts with another character. Or maybe dev should have done the story exactly as he planned, but just not release it now but only when he made what we saw + enough of the future story we'll get in 12b so that there's at least a little more sex in it, even if we would have waited longer for the update.

Anyways, as I said, I love this game, it's better written than most, and the story is not something I've seen a billion times. Just thinking out loud about the pacing and content of updates.

To me, they've always been synonyms. How would you characterize the difference?

Kinetic novels typically have a linear story with no choices so I would say this is not a kinetic novel.

 

[desmosome]

I forgot, which one was route A?

 

[Lorenz1]

Eh. I understand that "MC brings someone to police" is an important plot point, but the entire chapter felt like an uninteresting filler nontheless. I don't give a shit about the teacher (I don't even remember her name), Melanie was only flirting with no progression, Betty is still an open question, where mother went last update is still an open question. I feel like so many chapters into the game plot really should be moving faster.

Basically, if this chapter did not exist, not much would have changed for the main characters. If you played the previous version, I would not suggest to download it just for the sake of new chapter, it is nonessential. You will lose nothing, sex scenes or plot wise.

A - is where MC cooperates with the cops.

mac version?

 

[Maverick369]

If Im correct this chapter has the feel of a setup chapter for additional things to come. Don't want to get too much into it for those that don't want to be spoiled. This chapter in my opinion has set the ground work for the change in relationship between parker and his mother allowing for the corruption of Parker. The one I feel sorry for right now is Becky as she appears to be the only one that is innocent.

 

[Maverick369]

In all fairness I would like to see the Mother have another sex scene.. After all I am a male and she is smoking hot. LOL

 

[Mistress_Kixen]

Hmm..

It seems no motherfuck yet.

What a waste of time..

Wasn't the mother of the MC already pipped and pump full of zinc in previous episodes by the dirty cop?

Unless you take the alternate route where the MC doesn't agree to work with the dirty cops. It is last I checked the one choice you get.

 

[Maverick369]

Im basing it on 12a

In case anyone is lost. In order to play chapter 12a, you have to cooperate with the cops in chapter 9. Say "im in" instead of "fuck you". There's huge differences depending on this decision. Mainly the Becky NTR photoshoot is on the "fuck you" route. You'll have to wait for that route to be updated in a couple months.

 

[matthww]

what ntr happens here?

what ntr happens here?

No NTR yet, but there's a scene in one route that Becky (girfriend) is coerced to send nude photos to the corrupt cops.

 

[Troy9000]

Updated Mac Version ?

 

[Try My Patience or Not]

Well, the story advances! The female cop was a nice addition, and maybe it opens up into a three-way. If the teacher is going to be corrupted - go big! Also, the next time Parker follows his mom to that dank motel, maybe he doesn't see Tom's car but instead, he sees two strange cars parked on either side of his mom's car. Well, I can dream!

Guys, I don't like NTR games, but when I see a girl I like, I download the game.

No sex with Becky by anyone. Some sexy scenes, but no sex yet.

WTF do you mean by 'depending on your definition of NTR'.....NTR can mean only one thing,as described in the aincent and holy Japanese texts

Well NTR means different things to different people.

While the ancient texts say it's about jealousy. As in, a girl you like or are dating fucks someone else and you wish you were fucking her instead. That's NTR originally.

MANY people think cuck is NTR now. That is a girl you like fucks another dude and you get off on the humiliation of being inferior. While I disagree personally, language is malleable and changes over time. Who am I to say they are wrong.

The annoying thing is that those two things are like cousins and are very different. They get lumped together as if they are the same thing, and I like it so you know what is what, NTR = jelousy, cuck = humiliation.

In the end though, it means different things to different people and me wanting a definition to something doesn't mean anything.

 

[latex lvr]

I just downloaded the latest update and tried to play the game but it say there is no new updates. When I click on table of contents 12a is greyed out? What have I done wrong?

 

[Mwanted]

It's been a while (years) I played this game, from the last pages I guess there still isn't any content with Becky cheating\being balckmailed or similar..too bad :|, at this point I give up on that.
