VN Ren'Py Abandoned Gambling Life [v1.0] [Gambling Life]

[Silk_Ari]

Yeah, this game needs a lot of work to warrant playing it. It has potential but right now there's just nothing interesting going on, no hint on what the player is supposed to be doing (unless I AM supposed to spend the first few days doing nothing but hitting the "work" button, in which case that's just sloppy design). Every other ren'py game that I have played offered hints as to what I was supposed to being doing if there was a kind of free roam style to it. So far this game has free roam but there's only one thing to do; the game seems completely linear, in which case there's literally no point to have it free roam, just string the scenes together one after another and save the player the headache of trying to figure out if there are other things available to do.

This is the introduction, ofcourse it will be linear to set up the game. I don't know how much more of a hint you want, when you do something, it tells you what you need to do. For example to play the poker game you need a camera, it's not hard to figure out you need to buy a camera in the online shop and to make money to buy it you need to work for it.
Also, some events are time based and happen at certain moments. If you ask me its not sloppy design, it's lazy playing. There's a counter on your cell phone (Story) that shows your progress..if you haven't reached the end of the counter you still haven't done all events.

Thanks for the feedback though, its appreciated!

Not to nitpick, but I think our protagonists best choice would be to say: "That's not a straight flush, that's just a flush" and win in the beginning of the game, since "Sal" (the mobster)'s hand is 4,5,6,8,9 of spades.... But then again, we might just miss out on a lot of naked ladies ;-)

HAHAHA seriously? I can't believe I missed that, thanks! I'll fix it in the next version.

dunno if you are the developer but it feels weird to me that at the beginning of the game Sal and MC played a normal Texas Holdem but then you were playing different variation of poker with Bob. And it might be just me, but female faces definitely need some finishing touches, because they kinda feel ugly in comparison to male faces(no homo) or Afrodite's(the only pretty model if u ask me).

I might code a texas hold em game in the future...but I started out with a normal poker game. Also, this is my FIRST game using 3D modeling software, Im learning while doing... so It will get better as I go along... Thanks for the feedback!

It aint that bad. I find faulty women attractive, far more than barbies. And it seems to be the first game the guy designed. Lets give him a break

That's what I'm going for, women with imperfections that feel more realistic/common/every day. If you want generic cookie cutter women, this wont be a game for you.

i don't get it....disclaimer says we must be 21 but also a little further down it states that all depicted are 18+

does this game not break its own disclaimer?
and if you must be 21 to be of legal adult age then surely those under 21 depicted are considered children?

never seen such a dumbass disclaimer and never one asking to be 21. obsurd

I've never seen someone complain about a disclaimer before lol! That's funny.

But if you want the logic behind it.... SOME communities in this WORLD (You know the internet is international right?) consider that to legally VIEW pornography you must be 21. Has nothing to do with whether you're an adult or not. I.E. You can be considered an adult at 18 and still not have the right to possess porn until 21.

If it's legal to view porn in your community at 18 then no one's going to arrest you if you just pretend you're 21 and play the damn game

I liked what I played "before" the gambling, but after getting into that part, this is not for me since I don't know or care to learn how to play Poker and Blackjack. For me to play this again, someone has to come up with cheat mod or the dev should realize that not everyone play card games.

Oh sure, when a woman has debts to pay she becomes the the official sextoy of the entire town but when it happens to a guy, actual littteral godesses trip over themselves to help him. "terrible mistake" my ass.

First awesome comment and I could not stop laughing for a while.
(Some more sadly its also true.)

I agree it is a bit "unbelievable" that the gods intervene in his favour I hope this will be explained, reasonable in future content.

 

[Kaiww]

FUUCK i laughed so hard "my boss, bob":FeelsGoodMan:

Don't say anything against the big bossa Bob

You can skip the poker game that is part of the story line (it asks you do you want to skip, either way you lose). Otherwise, both card games are just extra content. The girls you play against Bob are NPC's. (I.e. Bob's partners.)
