VN Ren'Py Halfway House [Ep.11 - Bonus 7-9] [Az]

[AL.d]

Even if a story-driven game like this or AWAM released when it was finished, you'd still get complaints from people who don't like the fact that they have to read/skip through lots of text in order to get the sex scenes (of course, not having text would defeat the purpose of these being "Visual Novels", but don't try telling them that ).

The problem is that a lot of people look at all of these as being purely "porn games" and think that they should have copious amounts of easy sex and no story, and it's unfortunate because really good, story-driven games, particularly those that try to have a grounded sense of realism in their games and build up to the sexual content, have a hard time breaking through as a result of this thought process, even though they're generally the best games out there.

Personally I always think there has to be a good story to go along with the porn. But having a lot of text and not as much porn doesn't equal good writing by default. Having "build up" just for the sake of it looks pointless and pretentious.

The second example in your post does exactly that. Dragging scenes with dialogue and insane amount of renders dedicated into the most mundane things one can think of. Witnessing the trip of a character from the bedroom to the bathroom with a shitload of renders is not my idea of a good story. Not to mention that MC has nothing to do with realism by any definition of the word...

This one is not as bad in comparison, although it is guilty of filler content as well. At times I find myself thinking "Ok, I got what dev is trying to say with this exchange, can we move on now?" Especially when some character interactions seem to be repeating almost identical with the last time they were together in a scene.

Kind of sad that almost 2 years after the release of this game the blowjob with Ashley we got in prologue still remains the hottest scene this game has. So many hot characters and so little fun with them.

It's the Dev's first game after all, things will get better with experience i feel like that BJ scene at the beginning had more to do with luck than anything else, the scene just fit together perfectly and the writing was on point, if he can do it once he can do it again.

And we can tell that the game has been introducing more and more hot characters, i mean the girls from the train, tattoo shop owner, Ashley's sister, that prostitute, all of them were introduced in like the last 2-3 updates, there is obviously more plans with them and having some sexy scenes, the game is still building itself up.

The most important thing is that the Dev doesn't lose the interest in the game and make mistakes like the devs of Milfy City or No More Secrets where they just randomly give up on the game because they are bored or whatever and rush the endings. At this point in time that is one of my biggest fears with these games, that and them just outright abandoning them or making 1 update a year...

Anyone know what is required to unlock the scene "Emily hot promise"?

Derived/deduced from Zoey's Walkthrough.... you had to have leaned in Emily's direction (to the right) at the end of chapter 6, rather than lean in Ashley's direction (to the left, and which would get you the sex scene on the train with Ashley), and then at the start of chapter 7, with Emily, "Kiss Her", Kiss her again", (then you need Love>30 or Corruption>21), "Go for a deeper kiss", "Kiss her neck", and "Go for it" (this sets her EMPromise value to 1, which triggers the scene differences at the very end of chapter 8).

Really great update story side, but lewd scene is really weak and less.

You can use the walkthrough/cheat mod so graciously provided to us by OscarSix. Plus, someone literally just posted how to unlock the entire gallery via the console

So harem isn't ruled out yet? Only Sam and Emily would be plenty!

[Spiderfox]

This game had promise for me but the MC is such a whipped piece of shit I just can't take it anymore. Grow some balls dude and stand up for yourself.

[BeenThroughHell]

I was right the 1st time I saw this, that I should try it. that was 1 hell of a game. the story line is great. little annoyed sometimes at the MC but can't argue with that right.Most of All, Emily, Just everything about her made me forget other women.
I am so excited what the rest of game will be. Keep up the Good Work.

P.S.
make the MC not to be super dense.And More MOMENTS w/ Emily.

 

[Anon4321]

You have to push the camerabutton, when you first meet her, i guess.

Thanks, that was exactly what I had to do.

 

[BeenThroughHell]

wait its say EP8 but that game ends at EP7, is my game bugging or am I missing something?

 

[NotTheReal16]

Mac update?

 

[Zoey Raven]

So what options give you the "Ashley Sisters Fantasy"? as I don't see that in the walkthrought

I presented what was in the code, not sure what scene you are talking about, if it was in the code it should be there.

 

[panmzoide]

Android port for the new release?
