VN Ren'Py Growing Things Up [v0.45b] [Kinkbr]

Wow so this has an unexpected twist. It makes sense though.
Dark, yet presented tastefully.
I quite enjoyed this.

I agree, I think the problem in some of these games is that, if someone is an LI and you know you will get into a relationship later on, then players see her like that from the beginning.

That's exactly how I feel and there are plenty of people on this site that see it that way.

Just ask if any love interested has sex with someone other than the MC and you'll have your answer. Don't mention gender, don't mention NTR. That will only lead to pointless discussions.

Yeah! While playing through this for the first time, I was frustrated with how the MC was usually meek, but had weird bouts of assertiveness. When the twist came, it suddenly all fit.

the update is toooooooooooo short....................

Game was utterly fantastic, until the "reveal" of the main character. Yes, it makes it interesting, but kind of ruins the appeal for what was going on before hand. I was really enjoying the guy just being a good guy and having a trauma from his past, without the "reveal" changing things.

Then, we came to the cup mini-game that you can't skip unless you want to miss out on content, and when dev's do that I say fuck off. Tried a few times, got sick of it. The section to click in gets WAY too small and the response time is off, not enjoyable. Stupid pointless garbage that doesn't need to be in the game. And, somehow I missed the entire sex scene with the cosplay girl? How do you get it? I hate games where you miss out on content.

Again, the entire first section of this game was utterly fantastic, and now we are going on to mini-games and open world wandering around party stuff. Completely going off the tracks now. Get back to how it was and you have gold.

The text box slider is backwards in comparison to other games.

The volume for game sounds/atmosphere is the same as the music volume. They need to be separate. I also ran across a section where the music was utterly distorted (helping Bella get into her clothes in her room).

The reveal doesn't have to change this. If you see the "real" MC as the good guy, and the aggressive MC as his protective persona, then the MC can still have a journey of healing by being a good guy. It really depends on how the devs are going about this, and if players will get choices to guide aspects of this story.

Yeah, the balancing of this minigame is off, to say the least. That's why I created this cheat/mini-mod
As far as I can tell, there's no unique content you unlock by winning that game, though.

And, somehow I missed the entire sex scene with the cosplay girl? How do you get it? I hate games where you miss out on content.

Who is the cosplay girl?
After the beer pong game you enter the freeroam section again. IIRC, there are 3 arrows. The one to the right has the lewd with the woman from the beerpong table, on the top-left, there's another game you can play for some eye candy. Or, you can click the bathroom arrow on the center-left to wait for your date.

I think it's correct. Opacity versus transparency... But I could be wrong. I didn't notice any issues in any case.

The volume for game sounds/atmosphere is the same as the music volume. They need to be separate. I also ran across a section where the music was utterly distorted (helping Bella get into her clothes in her room).

Yeah, I 100% agree with this. Ren'py has plenty of mixers (and you can add custom ones)... So there's no real reason to use the same mixer.
I also had the issue with the music being distorted, in that same scene.

The poster is referring to the sex scene with Anna on the balcony. Basically, you have to choose between the scene with her mom while she was changing into the angel cosplay, or the scene on the balcony at the party. As far as I can tell, you can't do both because choosing the second scene with her Mom gives you -2 points to Anna, and even choosing later options that give you Anna points (like taking Vanessa's hand off MC's chest) doesn't give enough points to trigger her sex scene.

Are you sure? I chose the scene with Linda at the apartment and still wound up getting the sex scene with Anna. Only had 1 Anna point, but it still triggered. I think the only thing that conflicts with Anna's balcony scene is whether you chase after Vanessa.

In my playthrough I didn't go for Linda, but went after both Vanessa and Anna.
Maybe it's a combination of factors?

In my main save, I've been manslutting the entire game so far with the exclusion of Vanessa (Her sex scene was kinda hot, but I don't like her as a character). Banged both the mom and daughter without any problems. I don't think the choice at the apartment affects anything major yet.

Could be, but I got both the Vanessa and Anna scenes on my playthrough where I skipped the Linda scene, and missed the Anna scene on my playthrough where I picked the Linda and Vanessa scenes.

Still no Monica..........

You know instantly that VN is not great and overrated when bots spam 5 star ratings with few words but receive almost no likes and then you have very insightful critic minds with lots of things to say about the VN with 1, 2 star ratings but lots of likes. Yep, agree... this VN is mediocre at best.

The reviews for any game are pointless, you have 5 star reviews with zero info. 1 star reviews just shitting on the game because people are salty and the 3 star reviews that actually give you a good idea what a game is actually about.

This is true of every game, also can you prove your statement about bots is true? Or is it an assumption to fit your narrative?

Growing Thing's Up?

Wouldn't that be "Growing Things Up"???

 

[Just Jericho]

Who the fuck knows dude

If it's deliberate then maybe it's a dick joke? Maybe the apostrophe is a contraction where "Growing Thing" is the object and "up" modifies "is" (Ex: The Growing Thing is Up)

It's the best I could come up with, I dunno

I think that's a fair review!

A bit of background information:
The bed gaining a sheet is a consequence of that lewd encounter having been made optional. (I think)

Sarah can be dodged, but it requires you to have a low score with her. Once your score is high enough, the lewd is guaranteed. I would also prefer that the player gets asked what their intent is with Sarah, and if they want an intimate relationship with her.

Boobus-Gigantus... Absolutely, and it's not my preference either. That said, I don't hold it against the game. Those LI just aren't for me.
My main worry about future content is about what happened during the intro. The body type of that woman didn't appeal to me at all, and I have the impression that serious-MC will be made into a gigolo or something. It would make little sense to make those encounter optional, and even if they are, that choice could lead to a lot of skipped content.

Edit:

I see other reviews talking about forced lesbian content. Perhaps that's an older version of the game? I did not encounter any lesbian content, forced or otherwise.

The only lesbian content happens in the basement. This can be missed by not going into the basement, and avoided by choosing not to watch.

Hopefully we get some Deborah soon

Hello everyone, King here. Just stopping by to let you know that version 0.4 has been released for Master-tier patrons and will be gradually rolled out to other patrons over the next few days.

Even though the month had only 28 days, and I was stuck in bed for at least 5 of them, we still managed to deliver more renders than our monthly goal once again.

Today, I'll be taking the day to create the special render with the Feudal Japan theme, which was voted on by Pro-tier and above patrons, but will be available to all patrons.

I'll be back soon with more updates. See you!

 

[Kapycs]

That's a real Dev, I wish others would learn from him. Updates every month, which is really cool and that way you don't lose the plot of the game or lose your desire for itby waiting so long. I can't wait for the next Update.
