VN Ren'Py Completed Freeloading Family [v0.32] [FFCreations]

[V.A. Laurie]

Quite a few typos in this game, like "spneidng the evening" or "please don't say that every again" and the common misuse of "your" and "you're"

Also when you go to work after planting the panties in susan's office you call melody "Nile" instead of "Niagara"

Yep. I have slacked on going back to correct typos. People have pointed a lot of them out, and they will get fixed eventually but... it's not high priority for me right now. I know they are quite annoying to encounter, so I'm sorry I miss them when writing.

Aha, found you! I should say, i cursed you a lot during final christmas special. Maybe you saw my feedback a little upper.
Well, i replayed it today and... hated it less. I still can't forgive you for Alice though, for the decision MC made, but this special is... kinda nice in some way. Touching and heartwarming, with slight sadness which pierce you to the bottom of your heart.
It leaves you with the idea, that there are some moments in your life, that you can experience only "then" and you should not miss them... but leave it behind when the time comes. They had great time, now they move on. Something changed, something looks very similar, but nothing stays as it was.
You did a really great job there. I even increased patreon reward to 5$ tier, and the irony here, is that i had no intentions to do that in the first place, cause the main reason, excluding enormous exchange rate, was that special really felt not right. And now this special is the main reason for tier increasment.
Your story is great, FFCreations CG is marvelous. I should say that without one of you, this game had lost a lot. I very appreciate what you're both doing.
I do not consider this game as porn game, it really a visual novel. I'm really thankfull.
And please, make some more warnings before last christmas special, no one should play it right after they finished playing main story. Its just not right.

 

[TheLecher]

I also was displeased with the Christmas Special, at first, but I decided to regard it as just an alternate ending, and not something which has any bearing on the main story. Once I thought of it in that light, I was able to enjoy it, though not nearly as much as the main story.

 

[Arthoneceron]

I'm playing and loving. The models are probably the best I ever saw.

But I feel bad for Susan. I'm on the part that she got caught with the cummed panties.

Its cool, writing isn't easy I understand. I used to proofread for a hentai translation team and the crap we read is a lot worse than your typos.

Nevertheless I still enjoy the story, the plot twist about the aunt's real reason for moving in caught me off guard cause I dismissed her as some random side character at first. Now she's my new favorite haha.

 

[Arthoneceron]

Okay, I finished.

First of all... DAMN! What a fun ride it was. Probably one of the best games I ever played so far. And I loved every moment of it. Had to change the signature because I was mesmerized on how cool this game is and how the new Chloe18 disappointed me.

I have some points to comment, but so far this one really captured my heart. I'll be one of the patrons as soon as I can, because it really deserved. I used the Incest mod.

First, the good:

_The models are AWESOME! There are some bigger and more recognized games which doesn't have models as good as this one. The girls itself are pretty different from each other, even when there are only some small differences between them, like Alice and Leah, and the renders itself are lovely. Nice locations and I think it had some big efforts on making the renders. Can't wait to see more of the artwork in the future. (Also, I would like some advices on the Daz3D in the future if you don't mind xD)

_The characters are really likeable. Alice, being kinda gothic is the hottie of the game, while Leah is stubborn in a good way and Melody is probably one of the most funny characters around. Aunt Hayley is a nice addition to the game, while I think that Susan was wasted in the game, at least so far and I honestly hope that she comes back. I mean, she's too beautiful for being dumped like that.

_The story, while not being complex, it's nice and refresh. It's not as dense as I thought at first, mainly because of the sorrow of the soundtrack. Yet, it was hot enough to keep me interested and I still have my doubts about the Sharp-dressed man. Being someone that writes and wants to develop my own story, is he the classical "magical negro" support character? I honestly don't think it needs, unless the game turns itself into something "supernatural" in the future. I'm curious, but I don't think it's a bad thing, quite the opposite.

Now the neutral:

_I actually don't feel that my choices influence the story. Maybe I was too much "on passant", but while there are some choices that influences my past, I didn't felt that will influence my future. Is this just a feeling? I don't know, but being a VN, that could count as a bad point.

_As I said, the Susan plot is confuse. I really don't know if that's intentional or not, but we barely have any answers to some facts that happened in the past. I mean, the Leah part is okay, but about the Melody and Alice ones? it's hard to say with so few informations.

Now the bad:

_Not actually the bad, it's just a nitpicky one. The transitions between chapters are weird. It wasn't exactly a negative point, but then the jump around the months made everything seems weird. It was too abrupt, and I got lost for some time.

_There were some minimal grammar errors here and there, but actually having the english as the second language, I don't think it would be something big. But if I was able to recognize, I think it was worse for the native speakers. Was that potentialized by the Incest Mod? I don't know, maybe I think.

__

Overall: 10/10. Can't wait for the next updates @FFCreations, and I'll definitely drop some money soon on your Patreon to help the development.

Thank you for the attention.

I feel bad for Susan.

You're not the only one. A few of us have already posted in this thread, criticizing the way that Susan was written out of the story, and voicing the opinion that she should make a reappearance.

I would have to agree. The feeling that I was simply making dialogue selections in a story which was otherwise already set was very strong at some points in my play through, so far. And I think that there's actually some truth to it. After multiple passes at playing through the scene with Haley when she comes home drunk, making different choices, I found the outcomes to be more or less the same. On the other hand, I suspect that the choices made in the scenes with Susan had more of an impact on how those scenes played out.

Maybe it was intentional, maybe it was because they wanted to make a parallel between Alice and her. The MC asked if Alice would help someone like Susan and she wasn't sure about it. I feel it's a hook for a development of plot in the future.

I usually make alternative saves too, and while games like Sisterly Lust has dramatic impact on it, on Freeloading Family it doesn't, or when does, it's just minor. I'm not asking for an alternative story at all, I'm just putting some of my thoughs on the game. And sure, there's brilliance on the screenplay here and there, and I think that maybe the author made them in purpouse, but it's hard to hell for now.

This has been discussed a couple of times, so I’m not going to repeat the 40 pages I usually write, but instead give you the short version.

Basically we’d need to cut the amount of content each branch has by a significant amount if you want choices to be more influential. By just being two people working on this, there’s a limit to how much content we can create each month and thus we try to keep most of that content on the linear path players take.

The game is linear although the choices you make might give you different dialogue and sometime different scenes altogether. But ultimately you end up at the same path. There are certain scenes that can ONLY be unlocked by making specific choices, also the game is working towards multiple endings based on your choices. But again, it’s a linear game, we really don’t have the manpower to create a multi-branch Visual Novel.

Also, I would like some advices on the Daz3D in the future if you don't mind xD

I’m always willing to help. Anyone is free to message me and I’ll try my best to answer. I have given advice to people who’ve asked previously, so you’re not the first.

you're doing more than enough for me, we have a good story, bc good characters, with some good plot-twist, do what you can bc literally the 70% of my favorite games are about to get [ON HOLD] or [ABANDONED] tags...you're my hope for some enjoyable content <3 i think we should thank you just for the effort ^_^

Oh, don't understand me bad, I loved the story as it is. I was just putting some of my thoughs over the story. Sorry for saying, and sorry for not reading the past pages. And thank you for the effort.

Also thank you for being open for help, I'll send something for you soon.

Yeah I didn’t take it as bad. I understand the criticism and I appreciate it. I also don’t expect you to read 150 pages of comments in order to catch up with all the things we’ve been discussing.

Also thank you for being open for help, I'll send something for you soon.

I’m pretty much always online on Discord. So anyone is free to message me. I’ve had other people worried about “disturbing” me by sending messages. Don’t be. If I don’t want to be disturbed, then I’ll mute Discord. And if I don’t have the time to answer, then I’ll simply answer when I have the time.

Sisterly Lust is like that with Bella on the Love route, when the MC and his sis-*ahem* roommate are in Belugo Island.
