VN Ren'Py Abandoned Food Truck Story [Ch. 5 v0.55] [Mukashi]

[Zoey Raven]

To speak on the missable scenes, it's intentional for the story. There are choices and you won't be able to see everything in one playthrough. As the story progresses choices will become more important, and have larger, more impactful effects. It would be difficult to keep creating a mod that makes the story makes sense, so Zoey's decision makes a lot of sense. It's also not just an issue with the story, but the variables behind the scenes could conflict and cause problems in the future.

I will say that for the harem route there will be less "pick and choose" as you go, resulting naturally from everyone coming together and cumming together.


Zoey, you do great work. I hope that everyone can respect the direction you'd like to go with mod. Sorry for constantly messing with things

Yes, but I'm known for showing everything in my mods. As a dev I too understand how you want there to be missable stuff. It gives the game variety, but some people just want to see all the lewd content, which is what I usually do. Alter code so they can. As I said, being a dev I don't mod my own game, but I try to give the people what they want as a modder.

I just won't on your game because you like to go back and rework previous material while the game is still in development. Since that causes me to have to start the mod over from scratch it's easier when I've just given choices instead of altered your code for all lewd scenes. Hope that makes sense.

It sure does, priority is one of the higher and basic individual value.
Then, as the developer said, the game is intended for inducing multiples playtrough.

As a roleplayer it means that there will be two main paths, one as vanilla, where each girl as particulars be it relation with another, or shared interests.
Only looking to the house girls, each has another main interest.
There is still room for shared time.
It needs both organization and development (aka room decoration then food and drinks, not going on the hosting topic but the way to handle relation tie to both manipulation and motivations (priority, again)).

As said, looking forward to the story development.

And thanks to both of you of course, if not clear by default.

One of the best looking moms in these games, and it doesn't have incest. Feelsbadman

 

[dreideldevotee]

Man, it's pretty clear that this MC was written by a woman.. He's such a weak, push-over cuck. Nobody acts like this in real life.

Fixed


I don't think I'd mind someone called The Coffee Whore knocking on my door to collect her payment Canada food trucks make me think of Poutine french fries, they'd be great right now because of how cold it is!


I've now fixed the android keyboard overlap for next release. Thank you for letting me know!


There's a bit of both in the game already, and I'm thinking about doing more defined paths for both of these as I go. Either way, everything's optional.

aye cool then if I get the option to do so I will thanks

I just wanted to say that asian girls are usually much slimmer and smaller

This might be a really weird take for a porn game, but...
I'm sorry. I don't like overly slutty characters. There's a difference between highly sexual and just slutty, and most of these girls come off as the latter.

Emily goes gets changed in front of you and straight for your dick at the party.
Ana tries to entice you at the party (full disclosure, I didn't give in, and she bailed. Don't know if that would have led to a scene or not, but it felt like it would have).
Claire is just straight up "I don't know you, but lets work together to fuck everyone!"
Mei goes from jogging with her, to yoga with her and the girls, to visiting her at work were she gives you a tit job at the register.
You stop in to see your uncle and Bella, who has never met you before, tries to get you to fuck her, and if you refuse, tries to blackmail you into it.

I'm sorry. Whores aren't appealing. Charlie and Jade are both great. It actually feels like you're developing a relationship with them. If played out properly and not rushed, Jade will feel earned. Charlie, you can understand that it feels like the two of you have chemistry, and a scene where things end up happening wouldn't feel out of left field, if given a short while more to develop. But the other girls seem to have no motivation beyond getting you cock, with two exceptions.
Ana hates you for.... reasons, and Emily, during the yoga scene, seems to have figured it (if you turned her down to that point) that she was pushing too hard, to fast.

But I was playing this for a slice of life story, and the romance tag. The story is light (and embarrassing. You spend the money to set up your food truck. Your uncle who is in the restaurant business is helping you, and you somehow didn't know you needed licenses and permits? Drama forced under the premise of "MC is stupid" gets frustrating to experience, over and over again, game after game), and the girls have next to no build up. You don't get to know them. There is no flirting/teasing period. It's just "she wants your dick now."
That isn't romance.

I'm hoping the dev can turn this around. More self reflection, like Emily, from the girls figuring that MC isn't not interested, but that being slutty doesn't seem to be winning him over, could still result in second chances with the girls, that feel more earned, as the story continues to develop. But as it currently stands, I think Charlie and Jade are good characters that belong in a better game.

I appreciate you taking the time to write out your thoughts, and I agree with a lot of what you said. Hopefully I can give my perspective on where I'm at and what I'm doing to improve.

First, regarding how sexual the girls are. The goal was always to have a cast of girls with varying levels of promiscuity, ranging from super shy Jade to Gotta Fuck 'Em All Claire. I think I'm in the ballpark with most girls, with the exception of Mei that will need some tweaking. Without revealing too much, the reasons behind some early h scenes and certain girls' motivations will be important later in the story. But as a whole, I agree the pacing is a bit too fast. This has been a result of doing something sexual in pretty much every release, because that is what I assume the people want. To remedy this, I've already been looking at past chapters and I plan on creating additional scenes and extending existing scenes (when more of the game is finished), and I'm hoping this will slow things down and make things feel more earned. I've got a long way to go, but I'm devoted to finishing the game and continuously refining it to be better.

About the MC being stupid trope, I wanted the conversation with Uncle Cyrus to show that it wasn't MC's fault, and that Cyrus had basically reassured MC before the game started that he would have permits/regulations/everything covered (he lied). I didn't convey this well enough, so that's been added to the list of things I need to fix.

And lastly about the camera angles (from your review), there's plenty of editing that can be done on my part. The style itself isn't for everyone, but I will be going through the game when I have more of it done and cutting/replacing some of the more egregious shots to make the experience better overall.

Again, thank your for typing out your thoughts and I hope I was able to give some insight! take care

Your mod: Food Truck Story
"character Zoey is not defined."
I added > define zoey = Character("Zoey", color="ffffff", who_outlines=[ (2, "#000000") ], what_outlines=[ (2, "#000000") ]) < to script.rpy

idk about everything else but i know the unique camera angles in this game is one of my favorite things about it. it has a really cool almost cinematic look that i love so i hope that doesn't get changed too much!

It won't be changed that much! The overall style will stay, but to clarify I think that some scenes need better flow. Certain transitions between renders can be jarring, and changing the order or re-rendering a handful of these will make things feel better to play through.

Is Incest an option or a mod for that somewhere or is not remotely set for that? If not, not a deal breaker. I am huge fan of Food Trucks, a story about it sounds fun.

its not set for that.

OK slight niggle for me...lol. 15 bucks for Burger/Fries/Drink. Then two ladies just order burgers it's 15 bucks each for them. Are fries & drink considered free with a burger purchase? lol. Sorry former Chef here, small things like that catch my eye(Former cuz I injured my spine/lower back).

But so far, seems like a fun story.

Edit: One complaint, but again it's their creation. Constant cut shots of various body parts, especially through conversations. I get it, your a awkward creeper. But I would like more face to face convos. All the jump shots at least for me, is makes my eyes/brain go on a slight spazzout

2nd Edit: So far not bad, little anxiety about permit thing and Uncle being a ghost for a long time, then all shit with him and bella chick. Finished up to current build, will probably check this out in year or so, see if decent progress is here or if they gave up on it.

The fries and drink are included! I should specify it's a meal, good catch : )
And I hope you come back to check it out when more is completed, I'd like to be finish the game within the year
