Ren'Py Fetish Locator: S&M Studio [v0.3.15] [ViNovella]

[Badboll]

Have not played this yet, will a bit later today, but I enjoy a well crafted sandbox game with minigames included.

The Free reign sessions in BID along with fixing up the house were some of my favorite bits in BID.

I don't understand all the hate.

People don't play porn games for minigames, puzzles and time consuming grind for stats.
there are plenty of games crafted solely for that, which are better than anything any porn game has ever done, since that is the point of those games.
If you don't understand why people hate it, I really don't know what else to tell you.

the mini game is toooo damn difficult to understand

didn't have a save before the first one, not gonna redo the delivery crap

Spoiler: second minigame

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

You have 1 and 2 for the first one on the top left. which means it has to be 1 then empty and then 2, that's the only option it can't be anything else. That means top right can only be 2 then empty and then 1. That means you already have everything you need to fill in the rest because you already have all the empty spaces you need. As the tutorial states when there are two numbers in the columns next to each other that means there has to be a blank space (right click) between them.

To each of their own I guess? FL has a lot nice girls too and I'm pretty sure Stacy isn't most popular of them all.
But for me, Stacy BEST GIRL and the ending with Stacy was sweet for me.
That's pretty much everything I can say. I wanted more Stacy&Mike there is never enough of them.
Certainly not wanting more Sandbox&Minigames.

My cat loves his sandbox. He gives me lots of locations to visit and scoop. It's a complex mini-game we both play.

 

[Bella Von Halen]

sandbox is fine
mini games sucks

 

[SomeOldFart]

YES!!!!

 

[Liftoff7073]

how do you go from Fetish Locator and ViNovella Uni to this... There are some good sandbox games, but this implementation is like the bad kind of sandbox that you'd expect from a new dev who's really out of touch and not from someone with two high quality games under their wrist

People will generally play sandbox if it's decently well done. If you look at the top 10 liked games on this site, I would say at least 6 of them are all sandboxed games.

I don't understand all the hate.

because occums razor dictates sandbox games tend to be frustrating clicky messes. There are good sand box games out there however for everyone one good one there were 20 bad, not to mention sandbox games are slow burns by their nature so by the time you're not just randomly clicking on every location open in the hope it's where you need to by, years of development may have passed and the base for the game is so small it might be abandoned as not worth the developers time to make.

Also, minigames are filler and normally detract from the game as a whole. The only time where they are worthwhile are in games where the whole premise is built around the mechanic (Love of magic, Huniepop) and not simply something added on to pad out a release

 

[dirtyoldmanlol]

I'm with everyone else that seems to be commenting. FL was one of my favourite games. This is annoying, sorry

Na Sandboxes are just the worst. Actual physical sandboxes are much more fun when there's stuff to play with when you're in there, it's a lot less fun when you're just sitting in sand. Games that are heavily developed over time, crammed with content, with the player being given the choice to do whatever they wish in whatever order is great. However given the nature of how these games are developed, games are never released complete and as the framework tends to be implemented first before the content, you end up with a big map with 20 or whatever places to investigate but you have to wait years and years for the content to be made for those places.

Sandboxes and version 0.1 are just..... just no... Too much "do I go here? No. Do I go here? No. Do I go here? No. Ah fuck it I'll go play Above the Clouds"

And heaven fucking help any game that introduces a sandbox with a time component....

I don't mind sandboxes, but I 100% agree with this.

Games like Big Brother, Man of the house, all of NLT games, Peasant quest, Struggle with sin, Paradise Lust could all be classified as "Sandbox" games and all of them were great and are/was among the most popular games on F95.

But a bad sandbox game with no content (Or excessive grinding) is just terrible and worst then your run of the mill VN.


However, a well-executed sandbox game, for me is one of the most satisfying games to play, BUT it needs to be well executed.

I like a porn game with puzzles/mini games as long as it's done well. A little bit of grinding, if it's not excessive are also fine.

I agree that there are a lot of games with badly designed mini games and/or excessive grinding and little content, that are basically terrible. The thing with sandbox games is that you need to be rewarded for your actions/grind minigame etc. If there is little to no content, you do the hard work but are shafted come reward time.

My point, if not clear, a well-designed sandbox is a pleasure to play, with some of the most popular games on the site being of that genre.

I just do what anyone with a functioning brain does that don't like shitty sandbox features and puzzle quests that belongs in the bin at Blizzard. Unrenpy that shit and look at the videos. Might as well.

 

[rogokin]

I usually hate sandboxes, but this game is clear on what to do and where to go. Yeah a skip minigame would be helpful but when I figured out the coding game it was satisfying. Liked the first release looking forward to next update.
