VN Ren'Py Guilty Pleasure [v0.37] [Quonix]

[Xrisoner]

Are the updates short? Yes. Would I like more extensive updates? Yes.

BUT - I can always wait for a few updates to have more in one go (which I personally don't do when the time comes )

I get that for some devs and how/what kind of story they tell larger release cycles are beneficial, and in case I like a game, everything beneficial to its development is a positive for me.

If there is a dev who manages shorter release cycles though, that is a massive plus for me, as it helps me keep track of that game. The update sizes themselves come second for me then.

You have also to remember not every dev does this as their primary job but in their spare time. So time and other resources have to be used as available.

There are obviously some limitations at work here.

Would choices be nice? Sure.
But there are complaints about the update sizes all over the thread already.
If we had those choices, the updates would be even smaller.

To those asking for larger updates/more choices/... you can always become a Patron if aren't one already to give more weight to that request and help make them possible.

Damn.. Your post is ironically bigger than the update itself

If you want some more Auntie, look here for a little thinner version, she's doing some naughty things.

The aunt looks like she got down syndrome or something...

Way too much talking. Only one sex scene in update the rest is literally just them talking. Less talk more action.

 

[Vrijgeest]

Boring... Just boring. Where is the action?

 

[Doobiedoobiedoooo]

Stopped my playthrough to come and ask...are there any choices?

Only one sex scene??? What update you playing man it was just talking.

Yeah, and a small tease / promise by auntie ... But no real h-scenes this time.

It's hard for me to get invested in this VN, so these incremental updates aren't that big of a deal to me. For two sisters, a mom, and an aunt to all fall for the MC, he'd better be extremely desirable: handsome, fit, hung, kind/caring, motivated/accomplished, etc. The MC in this game is just ... there. Checks off almost none of those boxes. Why should the player believe these LI's would actually cross the taboo line for this guy? Wish the plot would involve some events that would trigger stronger and growing affection among the characters rather than 'well, we're on a boat (or in a car, or in a tent) so we might as well fuck'. And it wouldn't be such a bad thing if the MC had any kind of impressive physique or had anything going for him whatsoever prior to the story events. :shrug:

The storytelling is not the most refined and a little rough (most likely emphasized due to the update sizes and the need to compress story elements, so the story doesn't get too drawn out across them).
So I'm not sure if the details we are still missing are all because they are still to be revealed or just missing.

BUT I actually like the spirit/presentation of this story.

It's not stalling (there is a sex scene in almost every update now, which is pretty much compared to the update sizes), but it still isn't just a romp but seems to want to tell a story that isn't your generic minimalistic porn romp 'Do you need some plumbing' excuse.

For me it keeps its balance in the middle of those pretty well. It's entertaining and not too serious, has a good flow and neither keeps you hanging forever nor is it just a slideshow of sex encounters.

Admittedly, the shortness of the updates takes away from this, but if you play some of them in one go, I like it pretty much.

Regarding the MC, I'd say he is

- (X) handsome enough (especially compared to other MCs you get to see)
- (X) no bodybuilder, but not unfit
- (X) has no horse dick, but doesn't lack in that department
- (X) is kind/caring
- (X) is 'only' layed back, but on the other side no asshole/macho

From the beginning, they are all pretty comfortable around and close to each other allready.
In all that talk, no one seems to want, we learn that he actually has had a thing for his family for some time, and isn't the only one at that.
So there is mutual attraction there which, while progressing through the story, we learn is, apparently, more of a hidden family thing.

It's not like only super-studs are involved in RL-incest.

It seems to be more about everyone admitting to themselves how they feel about each other.

Not every agenda is completely obvious already though.

- The aunt might just want to have fun, or she thinks this will help her sister, she has no problems with incest though in any case.
- The older sister mostly seems to have a crush/thing for the MC for the longest time and just tried to deny it because of morals.
- The younger sister might actually want to keep the family together this way as she says, or only to have some fun without potentially having to wade through assholes on her way to get it, falling for the MC on the way, or she also has a crush on him and only pretends to tear down the MCs defenses before confessing completely.
- The mother still is kind of an unopened book, but it seems unlikely she will have no backstory already leading towards this in some way at this point.

For a while now, it seems that the story is going around in circles. Pointless drawn out conversations of the very same topic all around. Pointless images and scenes, that probably took hours on end to render that could have been used much, much better. (Like MC rolling his eyes in response to him being called over to complain/talk/plan whatever.

The game was interesting at the start but now its feels that the energy was just... lost at some point and the dev is just continuing this for the sake of his subscribers.

Either take a break man and try to find your passion once again, or just let this one die peacefully. No need for these useless updates.

Funny. Because you don't like the game progress the dev should let die his project? Seriously? I for one liked the last updates even more then the ones at the beginning. And it seems many others too because if you look at his Patreon page his "subscribers" (aka patrons) are increasing (and no, I'm not one of them). Well, it's ok if you don't like the game anymore, maybe time for you to search for other games. But your "help" is nonsens.

You either can't read/comprehend english at an adequate level, or you are just deliberately trying to protect something you somehow hold dear to yourself. I said to let it die if the continued effort (or lack there of) is at the current level.

The storytelling is bad (since there is nothing there to speak of), the 'spicy' content is borderline nonexistent, and the facial expressions that I have seen in the last 2-3 months were bordering the basics. The actual ACTIVE work the dev were doing in the last couple of updates are around 10% of others.

Anyway, I'm not even sure why am I bothering with this response.

PS.: Oh and also, what in the heck is nonsens?

 

[J.R.]

Ah, sorry. Didn't know you are a troll. And ignored.
(btw, the update length was the same since ages here, one act more/less)

 

[abwdaw]

Hell of a blueballer update

This. But times 1000

 

[Deleted member 5058983]

I really liked this game. The quality of the images is really good even on a big monitor. I will gladly wait to see, what the next update will bring to this game. My only recommendation Quonix - if you could add more choices to the story, then it would be very highly appreciated. At the moment I would give an easy 7,5/10 to it. Keep up the great work!

 

[M@rio]

So suck update.. :/

 

[Nulldev]

Bug: Just started the game from zero and finished it, found all the hidden images, and from Act 39 to Act48 none of the acts and images unlocks. Act49 and the laters are ok.

0.16 for Android crashes on startup after Renpy screen, same as 0.15. Some ancient version still works fine, but it seems like I won't be able to ever continue playing this game on my Android device.

Maybe try the ports from the compressed version or the Multimod linked on the OP

Thank you so much, I somehow overlooked those options. The multimod not only works on my device, but is even better than the original game. You've made my day (or a few)!
