VN Ren'Py Completed Haley's Story [v1.1 Pre-Patched] [Viitgames]

[NewSeal]

The straw that broke the developers' backs was when Patreon dropped the hammer on them about, "Oh my God, there's incest in this game!" Having to wrote two separate routes, when the non-incest route made no sense to them, definitely put them on the trail to disinterest. They pared things back, dropped promising avenues, and ultimately bailed.

So you're telling me the reason why the second half of this game is so rushed/low effort was because halfway through development was when Patreon banned incest and that demotivated the developer?
Because if so, it seems his only options were: rewriting the entire game, pulling it from Patreon, or abandoning it altogether.

Evidently not their only options, since they did continue the game without rewriting it.

they could have also just change their patreon to say non porn or something, they wouldn't be able to prove they're lying if they just typed cautiously with a secret meaning or something.

 

[Sherengroth]

also i kind of wish you could go after the mother too. once you break that taboo once doing it with other members shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Nemo56]

you can always travel back in time for four years and tell them. What's done is done.

no! time travel should be illegal. humanity can barely function in it's 3rd demention, idk what would happen if we were given access to the 4th. plus there's no telling how time really operates, it could go like in back to the future's branching time theory, or the flash movie's version where keaton uses spaghetti. that's a danger humanity should not try to risk. because if it's like keaton's theory, then once you change time, no matter how much you try u will never be able to go back exactly how it was at the beginning. so NO TIME TRAVELING FOR ANYONE!

 

[Nemo56]

So better hurry before they make laws against it
(and btw, Keatons explanation was presented as if it was about the multiverse, but DCs multiverse works differently. It's not little decisions that cause a new branch. Time manipulation effectively changes the universe one lives in)

i don't like how it ends right when your sister tells you she's pregnant. feel like it should've came earlier or the vn/game or it should've lasted longer. give us some time lapses to where you two have to tell your parents, see their reaction. hailey's room being turned into a nursery, and the baby being born and some baby moments, their 1st teeth, learning to walk, 1st word, mabey a diaper change or two, and the wedding for last then end it. with a here's what happens in the future. also i kinda wish we could seduce the mother as well, if you're already in taboo land more taboo doesn't do any more damage, so might as well.

You're wanting another path in the game where the dev already cut short or completely abandoned existing paths? If he couldn't even given proper endings for practically any of the paths — and not even endings at all for others — I doubt the mother would ever have been even a thought in the dev's mind. And all of the other stuff with the baby, while it might be nice to have, only ever shows up in 0.00001% of all VNs where LIs can get pregnant in the first place. So while wishful thinking, it was never going to happen.

There is a possibility for sequel here, though... if they had twins!

I saw this post on reddit with this model yesterday, and honestly to me the resemblance is almost uncanny

I know this is an old ass post but i was hoping i could ask something about this. I've read here multiple times that when she is asked by MC if "Klaus is where the daddy shit comes from?" she goes silent. This is because he doesn't know what Klaus did to her yet right? And she is reluctant to explain how it has nothing to do with Klaus because that would mean she would have to explain what happened to her to the MC?

As others explained, MC knows the score by then, and the entire story from then on tried to poorly shift to overly dramatic. It started to lose steam after this because of how badly the player base took it for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which was the interpretation that the daddy shit, was her basically purposefully revisiting her trauma, either because she was hooked on that aspect of lovemaking with Klaus, or because it was simply a necessary part of her trauma she needed to continue enjoying sex.

In either case it really is a mindfuck for players and the MC (i remember so many players dropping the game at this point), especially because now the player/mc has grounds to question their relationship because she may not have chosen him as a lover not just because she loved him, but because she simply felt safe that he wouldn't hurt her like Klaus did. The fact she continued to call the brother "Daddy" for a long time after this all comes out, was just salting the wound. Assuming all that is still in the game as it has been awhile since I played it, but I feel it is safe to say... this could have been a much better game if this was all navigated better imho.

How come, this game does not show up in https://f95zone.to/sam/latest_alpha/? Only forum?

Why would / should it? It's completed.

 

[semianonymous]

There is section of site for completed game? I see Forums, Tickets, Latest Updates. I don't see Completed.

Also, I see many completed games on Latest Update section. Is awkward wording, but it looks like Latest Update section is meant as complete database.

See, here is search of Latest Update section, filtered for games with Completed tag:
https://f95zone.to/sam/latest_alpha/#/cat=games/page=1/prefixes=18

But Haley's Story is missing from database, only forum thread, why is that?

Latest Update shows games which were updated most recently. This game has been complete for 4 years, so while it is in the list, it's very far back.

I do search for "Haley's Story," it says not there. Look:

I double check, make sure not filter out, but that is fresh search, no filter, except for Haley's Story title.

Something weird happened with the apostrophe. Just type Haley.

It seems that if you search for the last update it gives a strange error. Next time use the searchbox in the upper right corner.
