VN Ren'Py Abandoned Gates Motel [v0.6] [P_S_Y_C_H_O]

[ThunderRob]

Romanceable trans characters so rare in these type of games. I wonder if dev will continue on Alex.

it looks like there are 5 mains..and Alex is probably near the top because she plays in best with the overall narrative

1. Is Norma even real? Forbids internet, doesn't shave, thinks dyeing hair is for sluts, but is perfectly fine with her child being trans? The kind of ultra-conservative people like her would try to "pray the gay away" or some stupid shit like that and support for the kid would really be on the far end of the list. Feels inconsistent, but maybe I'm just a bitter fuck and people like her exist?

I’ve heard boomers with this sort of position on internet, hairdye, hygiene and hirsuteness. All at the same time. More a generational thing than con/lib. Ever seen 70’s porn?
She strikes me more as an old, christian hippie who has been disillusioned by domestic violence and responsibility, rather than just a run-of-the-mill bible-thumper.
But it is already mentioned that the family had a long and difficult talk when Alex came out, and part of Norma's way to cope is to make sure that she becomes a prim and proper lady. It looks like we are going to see a lot of friction because of this in the future.

Regarding Savage, we know that the MC has a rich imagination and a somewhat tenuous grasp of reality. When he tries to soothe and befriend her with headpats, like in this game we F95 perverts should know, it is both very funny and a bit horrible. It sort of makes sense. In a perverted, Mr. Bean sort of way.

It is sooo hard to stay focused on one to five cool games, me being a hoarder, I have Gigabytes of pervy games on my HDD, plus I'm working on my own game. <sigh>

Why does development cost sooo much BTW?!

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

I wonder what might be the reason to stop?
A lot of people like her, and some even only her. Why would I dump her

You sir are a man of culture.

Now that Dark Neighborhood is complete I need some counsel: is this a similar VN in terms of delightful grotesqueness and humour?
Also, a crucial matter: is futa/trap avoidable?

Futa is avoidable but you might want to keep it. I'm not really fond of this myself but I surprised myself enjoying it in this game.

yup..if only for one of the funniest scenes in gaming history..

Alex best girl.

Honestly I have an aunt whom Norma kind of reminds me of. Sweet woman, crazy (literally) religious, truly adores her family and tries very hard to support them no matter what. She probably DOES try to pray the gay away, but she does it in private. She wouldn't stop loving her family over something like that.

Now if Norma was bit more crazy (which would make sense, it usually run in the family after all) and was more musically inclined, it would be pretty scarily similar to my aunt.

 

[P_S_Y_C_H_O]

My neighbors family was a prototype for Gates.
I can hear collective prayers every night coming from them, along with whiplashes and screaming. Local kids try to avoid their house.
Dude is Muslim, wife is Catholic. Kids are walking barefoot in orange robes. Krishnaits? Who knows. Who cares.
With billions of people on board and all this diversity, I'm sure there are 2-4 Normas jerking their Normans and saying prayers out loud IRL right now.

 

[Rycharde's Realm]

great story but it's always dark it really sucks :/

Are you referring to the tone of the game or the lighting? If it is the game's tone, that is the way the author is going for, and I luv it speaking for myself. If it is the lighting, are you indoors where the sun does not shine, or outdoors during the day?

Something I have wondered about when people are complaining about the game being "too dark".

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

He is likely talking about the light. Some scenes are indeed too dark.

Then, are they indoors or out? if out, is the sun up or is it night. A bit of detail comes in real handy when turning in bug reports, and yes lighting problems are bugs to be reported.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

It didn't bother me much, I think I haven't even made a post about it before.

Same, RC-1138 Boss.

EVERYONE: When Alex and the MC were 'together' in the car porch, yes it was darker than usual. They were under the car porch awning on a cloudy day near sunset so it would be darker than a normal day. Take a look at my sig fan thingie of Alex.

So if you are having lighting issues, give more details: indoors, outdoors, sun up or night time, cloudy day or clear skies, are you in shadow or not. With this info, Psycho can see if the lighting is not working or just right.

 

[mugizib]

Yeah, that issue with the lights never never was addressed in this thread neither by the dev

 

[Rycharde's Realm]

OOT: Any 3D artists out there who have to work with Greek Baths from Daz3D? Its mineral content is like an onsen, nice and cloudy. Can hardly see what's underwater.

 

[Rycharde's Realm]

He did say that it was using the webp compression instead of png or the like. From what I understand, he has released a version without webp so the issue SHOULD have been addressed but the complains still occur.

Unless you are using an older version, the problem should be addressed. If it is still happening, send info with a good description of the area.

 

[mugizib]

but the complains still occur.

The complains come from long before that release and will follow long after.

 

[Helldriver]

This game is great, I like the premise of it already. The interactions between the characters are also what I like, the clueless sister who doesn't really care, and the mother that wants to help and not make the shit sexual. What other games have these sort of interactions and how they play out?
