VN Ren'Py Halfway House [Ep.11 - Bonus 7-8] [Az]

[Ragnar]

It's not that easy, you have to built a solid fanbase of supporters with great first release(s). And even if your game has qualities, it's not bound for (instant) success, there is a part of chance and/or require good marketing.

That's why so many projects end abandoned in the first year of development. No cash cow? Delete and start again under another name. The moment you hit the jackpot is just slower updates and milking.

Pretty much the definition of "prostitution"

Now that's disrespectful. She said she was a call girl, not a street hooker, have some respect coz there is a difference... only when it comes to prices maybe, but still a difference.

my issue is primarily with the really badly written childish mc, he is easily one of the worst written mc's in any vn's that i've played, and i've literally played hundreds

Can't argue with that. No wonder the "lesbian" at the club refused his advances and also trolled him for good measure. Dude should get his shit together and act more like a man and less like a porn star's pussy after a gangbang party, or not even Emily and the whore Piper will want to fuck him.

for a former badass (supposedly) he's pretty beta at times.

Only at times ?? He's a full-time beta bitch boy from what I saw or still remember from when I played the game lol.

A year.

A literal year between updates. And you end it on a cliffhanger.... What the actual fuck?

I hope we're lucky enough to get at least something next year coz I don't think there's gonna be another update this year. Maybe Piper is nice enough to let the MC have a "test drive" before paying for the goods so he can fuck and completely avoid her afterward.

it was pretty obvious those 2 hot girls grinding on each other were lesbians

Nah, that was just one way of subtly saying "go and fuck yourself, you horny creep". For a couple of lesbians, Aika seemed really uncomfortable with kissing her 'lover'. Also, don't know if anyone noticed or mentioned it before, but the 'lesbian' Nika had a QoS tattoo on her left boob. For a wannabe lesbian in a relationship, who supposedly hates men, she clearly likes to advertise her love for bananas too, which isn't something you see most lesbians do, so yeah, that was bullshit. Can't blame her tho, when the 'predator' is a mentally retarded virgin, suddenly becoming a lesbian is a polite way of rejecting him. Loved the "flirting" tho, good way to show someone how to NOT approach a woman at the club.

Hi I am sorry but since my English is not so good I have written this text about Deepl. I have played this game and I think it is mega mega good. The story is simply the hammer gefökkt me very well and also the music in the game, which fits mega well to the game and gives the whole a very nice touch. I am already mega curious how it continues, in all cases makes the games addicted to more. Have the gaze game Maschinel translated into German to play it in my language and it was despite google translation very good, would like to ask if I may make a manual translation into German to give more people in my home country the opportunity to play this mega good game in their sprahce. If you have nothing against it?
greetings PLayazclubmember

[RedRidingWolf]

Keep up the good work, I like the storywriting and development.

Actually it was almost 12 months between updates.

 

[weirdscix]

I'm just baffled that Ashley isn't the main LI tbh, as it is now you're either forced to be a massive douche towards Emily to see more of Ashley character development or making the main conflict of the story so far much less meaningful. I mean, as is now I couldn't care less if Ashley leaves or stays and the contradiction just isn't there. I think the game would have been much more coherent either if it focused entirely on Ashley (I think she's the main draw of the game anyway. Don't get me wrong I like Emily but come on.) or if instead the whole family thing was part of Emily's backstory instead.

I don't know about that. I just started replaying this as it had been so long since the update and the first thing I remembered was how cringy the MC dialogue is, and the second being how fucking vile Ashley is

I have a bug during the first dinner where looking under the table causes an error screen.

I have to agree ep 9 makes no sense and you can see rushness tho 9 months..Now like many dev the story wont make sense here on out..The last 8 was great

 

[bryan.will3322]

I'm glad I found this game. It has amazing models and I like the story. Emily is just <3 my new waifu. lol

 

[Mmccaw]

episode 9 doesn't work for me. I tried to play from a bookmark and then from the beginning but it gives an error and returns to main screen after the end of episode 8

 

[DuckDairyDip]

I have to agree ep 9 makes no sense and you can see rushness tho 9 months..Now like many dev the story wont make sense here on out..This ep sucks no other way to put it..The last 8 was great

What exactly makes no sense and what exactly is rushed? Do you mean the story is rushed or the development of the episode was rushed? I can understand not liking this episode, but I don't really agree with the rest. Luis has been hinting at spending more time with the MC and planning to spend time in the town. It is in Emily's character to be stubborn and tag along. MC getting Monroe to help him with Emily makes sense, and we get the motivation as to why Monroe loves his job. Eli is still teaching the MC the ropes, but still keeping in mind his arm is in a cast and he is new to this. Piper's actions are inline with her to character to tease and mess around with Eli and the MC, but there is more to her than that in those scenes based on her reactions. Ashley is understandably still overwhelmed by the recent meeting with her family as well. If the overarching story is the MC's times at the halfway house and in this town, along with the several subplots going on, the overarching story didn't move much, but there was a great focus on pushing the Emily relationship subplot and introducing a potential future subplot with Piper. I just don't understand what exactly doesn't make sense when everything is fairly straightforward and a reasonable continuation of what came before.

 

[Trojaner]

When a story moves this slowly (and episodes release so sporadically) there is no way all of these characters are going to receive the proper amount narrative focus, unless this is a decade long game.

Well, what do i always say: "Let's hope we are still alive when the VN is finished."

Update was ok, but after the long time i was def hoping for more.

 

[dolfe67]

The update was very good. I don't follow this dev so I don't know why it took so long and that's a pity, but at least I read he stopped charging patrons for a while.

If you don't like or can't stand Emily, the main girl and main draw of the game, or if you're here mainly for the porn, this is not a game for you. Emily is a western tsundere, not to everyone's taste but a real waifu.

Renders are of high quality, girl models are gorgeous and the posing is amazing. In other games the posing may not be as good and doesn't feel natural unlike here.

My main gripe is the MC's personality and the fact we can't really mold him in a couple different ways. I don't remember why he's in juvie but he's really too naive and too much of a pushover even though he can fight.

 

[johanathan]

is there a 32 bit version..

 

[Carpe Stultus]

I think it's just the total amount of renders of the whole game. the previous had 595 and the one before that 506.
People need to stop following devs who have not updated in a whole year, really hopeless.

Yeah nope. The overall renders of this VN are 4414 and 948 of them are from chapter 9. Thats something everybody can check for himself, not that hard.
