[I am Gone]

Thread fixed, mirrors added and moved to games. NeonGhosts Make sure to open a ticket HERE for your Game Developer Badge. Good luck with your game.

 

[Kinky Bully]

What are friends for, right?

 

[DarkSithLord47]

curious about that full patch and tags,i'll try it out and give feedback later

 

[Hans_]

How about fixing the patch so there is no folder named FiNPatch within the compressed file before you get to the Game folder? Wouldn't this make is so it can extracted directly into the game?

 

[Ceesko]

Has good potential. The dev could work a bit on the facial animations, though. They all have the same face throughout most of the renders.

 

[fauxplayer]

Just a typical combination of blackmail, corruption, domination, rape, and... romance?

I kid, I kid. The overview makes it clear how these tags can work in combination depending on the route chosen by the player, but I always get a chuckle whenever I see these tags in combination. Looks intriguing and potentially unique.

thx

Sure, sounds good - I've updated the link to remove the redundant folder. I'm frankly kind of dumb when it comes to file management, so bear with me as I work through some of these things.

Thanks! This is kind of a function of how this first chapter was made. I commissioned Horizontical Studio (of The Regional Manager) to assist with the art, and I basically gave him a list of renders I needed. I'd never used Ren'Py before, and figured it'd be best if I focused on learning one thing at a time. I'm super happy with his work, but I also didn't want to ask him for a ton of revisions, so that sometimes meant asking for renders that'd be usable in a variety of scenes, and would have kind of a neutral expression.

I also grew up on Japanese VNs where you usually just had paper dolls on a static background, with maybe one or two individual renders per sex scene. So, that's kind of how I write my scenes. Still, come back for the next chapter and see if it feels a little more organic.

 

[MisterNephilim]

I'm all for the "good" path or Romance path whatever you want to call it, I'll look forward for future episodes !

 

[BarbarrossaNA]

Well.. I guess I have a dark side.

With that disclaimer I gotta say decent renders and dialog.. and looking forward to where the darkness takes me. The game also seems to have a 'lighter' path.. yeah, I tried both. Looking forward to more content from both sides.

Decent start NeonGhosts... decent start.

Take the bullet for me...let me know how it is

 

[Jonah Arkon]

So what tags can be avoided?

 

[NeonGhosts]

I'm all for the "good" path or Romance path whatever you want to call it, I'll look forward for future episodes !

Thanks! I've got the next three updates fully written and scripted into Ren'py, and there will be plenty of options for romantic (and less-than-romantic..) encounters in the future.

 

[Veileos]

For some reason Im getting huge dejavu feelings from this like I played this exact same game years ago. Is this a remake of another game?

Nope, it's original - I mean, as original as a porn game can be.

That said, the convenience store might look familiar to anyone who's played The Regional Manager.. and if you pay attention to Nicki and the MC's conversation, you might catch a reference to a certain curly-headed convenience store owner from that game.

 

[rKnight]

The fact that U can play the role of an adult MC rather than another spoiled brat wanting to bang his sister, is enough for me to give it a shot. The story is still being developed, but the foundation looks promising and interesting.

Girl: "Dude, are U taking pics of my privates?"

Man: "You know girl, purely for RESEARCH PURPOSES, I'm something of a scientist myself." lol

 

[kartolas]

hmmm the overview got me but stuff doesn't happen the way it's advertised at least I don't consider cheating a good thing EVEN if "you're not the one being cheated on". I like it so far but it's still misleading. Not cool.

Thank you and good luck.

 

[SardinianBoy]

Android version?

 

[vimey]

Good start great to see something different but I don't think Nicki will come back after all that humiliation unless she is into it somehow I hope so
