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

[FFCreations]

FFCreations I like this game personally but found it has been underachieving in terms of patrons. I wonder if you are willing to do something for that. For example, you can publish your game assets for fan arts. That kind of activities did positive effects for certain games these days.

Have tried a variety of things with little to no success. Posting general art never really led to an increase in patrons. Having commissions never really led to an increase in patrons. Selling merch wasn't really popular. So sadly, only thing to do is to simply keep working on the game.

As for publishing game assets for fan arts. Then that's illegal and Daz can hit you really hard for that. Since even if you've purchased and modified their assets, you aren't allowed to re-distribute it.

 

[FFCreations]

No, you don't have to publish purchased assets. I meant making your scene or subset duf files of your characters available by "publishing game assets" and I know that's not illegal. If you are against it, that's fine though.

Well in that scenario, they would need to officially own a plethora of assets used for the models. And even if they did, the majority of textures wouldn't load because the .duf file would be pointing to custom textures. Now the custom textures can't be shared separately either because they are modified versions of the original textures. Which goes back around to my point of it being illegal.

I really hope you can find a way to finish the other routes, especially harem. We've invested a lot of time into this game, and the Patrons invested lots of money. Hope you can work it out with this other person or find someone else to do it.

Results of poll #2
Now I've compiled the results of the second poll. I'll let the results speak for themselves. Like I mentioned before, this is just to gauge interest, it's not a guarantee of these being in the next game.

Thanks to everyone for voting. I might make another poll in the future, so if you want anything in specific included, as always you can reach me here or on Discord.

Man, I'm looking forward to getting the rest of FF, but I'm also excited to see what ideas FFCreations has cooking for his next game

FFCreations I honestly think you just tripped at the final hurdle with the endings. That is easily the biggest sticking point I've noticed in the thread for a long while since it really, really let a lot of people down after following for so long - Patreon or not.

Don't change much in your next game. Keep the general feel and idea, just have a better plan for the endings.

 

[Tarrang]

The Melody and Leah endings were good. Sister ending not bad at all. Other girl (forget name) was terrible. Leah's younger sister is the other girl.

Well the next game will have a different writer and obviously a different premise. So it will obviously be different from this game. I can't say it will have the exact same feel/idea. But despite being different, it will still be created with the fact that people are coming from this game to the new one.

As for "a better plan for the endings", well that's subjective. Val (the writer) had the endings planned well in advance and think they are good/fit well. Some will like them, others will not. That's unfortunately not much we can do about. If we would cater to the side that didn't like the endings, we will simultaneously betray the ones that did like the endings. Many of the reasons that people didn't like the endings are also the reasons that many people liked about it. They are in direct contradiction to each other. In the end, the best we can do is create an ending we as the developers feel fit the story the best.

With that said, I am not dismissing the people who didn't like the endings. They tend to have very valid criticism. Criticism that can and will be brought into the next game. I guess my point really being that endings will almost always be divisive. There are a plethora of reasons for that. Some don't want it to end at all, some wanted more aspects of the story explored, some hoped for an extremely specific ending and so on and so forth.

It has only one animation. It was made as a test IIRC.

Would be GREAT a NTR Path for cuckold genre fans!

Setting this to OnHold status, as the Dev is keen to continue working, but is dependent upon someone who has been unavailable lately.

If it's the horrible writer that wrote the shitty endings so far, I hope they replace them and we get atleast two deserving endings for what was a good vn until then...

I know it's subjective, but I did enjoy Melody's ending... felt amazingly heartfelt, emotionally satisfying with the right amount of levity and seriousness given Melody's character and what their future together would look like! Everyone else's... not so much. Admittedly Alice's was a gut-punch given the buildup (maybe just in my own head-canon) but that's been dissected to death already and I won't go into that. Here's holding out hope for a nice, happy harem ending with the aunt included!

Bloody hell!
Still on hold...
Boohoo for me, lads.

I was waiting for Alice and the harem ending but seeing as most dislike her ending do you mind spoiling it so I don't have to redownload the game just for that?

 

[Tarrang]

I didn't think the Alice ending was BAD, but it could have been better. If we never get the harem one it would really suck. The worst ending was the younger sister of the 1st ending released (forget the names been so long.)

 

[Arthoneceron]

I was waiting for Alice and the harem ending but seeing as most dislike her ending do you mind spoiling it so I don't have to redownload the game just for that?

Basically:

>Alice is invited to pose as a bride (the pic when you select her ending before)
>MC goes back to live with Alice
>Leah has a small participation, they kiss and break-up, Leah goes to Canada
>They pass by Melody's workplace, they talk a little with Allegra
>MC and Melody broke up, with Melody having to work in far away places
>They still keep up with the poli-amorous love life, with random girls at bars or parties
>MC feels that they make it together really well. MC asks Alice to get married, while she accepts
>They talk with everyone, they ask Hailey to be her bridesmaid, thing that she accepts
>Everyone attends to their marriage, all the girls are bridesmaids, it starts to rain, and all them get wet exposing their breasts
>Alice desists on her children psychologist life, because she heards really bad stuff while working
>Alice writes a book with her experiences over life, it's a best-seller and they get rich
>They don't stop with the poli-amorous life, and Alice now has a side-girlfriend while still married with MC.
>They end together, as expected, but at that moment, they are a childless couple.

I don't think it was too bad, I think the attacks on V.A. Laurie are unfair because it fit their personality pretty well, but IMO it could have been epic, but in the end it was just okay.

But it doesn't matter. Life is pretty much okay most of the times.
