Ren'Py Harvesting Corruption [Remaster v0.0.5] [JuicyGenieGames]

[JenMistress]

I coded in a gate that should prevent you from using the wardrobe, toilet, or bath, before you use the mirror. There's a chance I messed that code up somehow.

Maybe, because think that was where it started that I couldn't get the choices to come up. Until I went to the mirror, then went back to warp speed, because was trying to get back to where I was originally after dinner, until the two guys was arguing, and couldn't get the choices up there either, until I finally did with going forward and back, then as soon as I highlighted a choice, boom, back to main menu.

Weird. Well, whatever happened, it was a lambda function trying to be saved. Which it shouldn't be doing. That's the error code you gave me anyway. So I'll look through my code and see if I can't track it down. I think it's probably a rare error that you shouldn't get again, but who knows. Hopefully, I'll be able to trace it and squash it by next update.

I will leave this minireview. Given how early we are here in development, I am impressed.
Annika is gorgeous. The writing also didnt make me click x after 2 pages either, which is another mark in its favor. I'll be paying attention to future releases

Very interesting game, I really like the realistic details and interactions the most. Will keep an eye on this one to see how it turns out. Good luck to the dev(s)!

Just me. I'm glad you like the interactions because the game is going to be CHALK full of them. This should be as close as I can get to one of those old school late 90's point and click adventure games, but in a visual novel format, with lots of naughty stuff.

 

[Trasher2018]

If you don't like freeroam. There is story mode. If you don't like story mode. Oh well.

(...)

This isn't a kinetic visual novel. It is a point and click adventure game in a visual novel style. Having to click things is how this game is supposed to work. I went out of my way to offer a Story mode for those who like the story and images, but didn't want to do the point and click stuff.

You're welcome.

I want to explain something. I am German. So I am not here to dance around or sugarcoat my opinion. And that's all I do here - give my honest opinion and feedback. I dont want to diminish your work, your effort and/or time you put into this.

The problem for me is, that the story mode IS just a kinetic novel because I dont get any choices. So its either a sanboxy/freeroam game with choices or a kinetic novel. I have to admit, i just checked for the first choice in the standard and then in the story mode - so I assume that there are no choices, because that is what you said in the mode select.

So do your thing - I would like to play this with a "proper" VN story mode where I still can make the choices from the sandbox version and just miss some fluff that is added there and not mandatory for the progress of the story, but if you dont want to make that or think that it is not possible, that is fine. Then its just not a game for me.

Oh and I do play some sandboxy stuff (e.g. Girl Life), but not many and only very few really have a sandbox - most of them are "just" a VN with added steps/navigation.

So - just try to take some of the responses here into account for your project and go on. I just wish you and your project the best

Thank you! I love reviews! Especially from people who understand how early in development this is and aren't writing a review because there's not more to do.
If you see the reviews I have so far, it's all people complaining about bugs in v0.01 and 0.03 of a game... That's not what reviews are for.

A lot of people complain about this or that. Not the story, or the renders, but bugs and amount of content. Or that they don't like Sandbox and would rather have just a visual novel. Things like that. All things that are part of early development. In fact, the reason I made this game is because instead of telling other developers how they should make their game, or what I didn't like about theirs, I just decided to take all the things I wish other games had, and make my own. It's a MASSIVE scope for a game like this, but I've been busting it out pretty fast, and almost all the foundational code is already in the game just waiting to get plugged in with something. Part of the reason it takes me a while to get out an update (Still every two weeks) is that I have 9 outfits to render for every single image in each sequence. lol. But when it's done, I think people will appreciate the immersion.

Probably not going to be the game for you then. Putting in all the choices, into storymode, would require almost as much coding as the sandbox mode. Which would take me probably 4 years to complete this. And I don't want to be working on this for 4 years. I only gave story mode as an option for those who HATE sandbox but loved the story.

This is definitely a point and click style sandbox game, with a LOT of options in the game. And that's my focus.

As far as taking responses into account. I absolutely do. I've already put in place MANY of the features people have asked for in these forums. But when people ask for things I won't do, for a reason, I simply give them a response like I just gave you.
And when people complain that I should have waited to release till there was more content, or complained about v0.03 having bugs, or stuff that just comes with early development, I refer them to page one, comment one, of the comments section.
And when people come here to tell me things that are rude, I give them rude back. I'm not a doormat. And I am under no publisher that requires me to be nice to people that are rude. So yes, sometimes you will see me tell people off. But if I do, it's because they have absolutely deserved it.

Other than that, I'm glad you did like what you saw. But yea, this is 100% a point and click adventure style visual novel. I can say it won't be like most other sandboxes out there were you get lost trying to find your way around. There will be so many things to do that it will just feel like a game. We're just not there with content yet. And there will be some sort of guide in the phone menu, telling you what you should be doing next.

1) On different site I found that this game has "Funatari" tag which ppl really dislike and I usually skip any relationship with these ppl (in games, don't know any futa ppl in RL + not interested in this kind of relationship). Duno if this tag is real since it's basicaly at the beginning. (which lower rating for game to -50% on other sites)
2) If You use skip (in cabin, etc.) the game shoudn't kick You to main menu, because then You cannot go back and You must restart / load saved game. (also then You cannot progress to another parts of the game, because it feels like the end)

Atm it has some interesting characters, I'll follow and see later. gg

The SKIP bug was fixed in the last update. You're playing an outdated version.
What other websites are you seeing my game on? Because I didn't post them there.
There is no FUTA in this game. There WILL be an option in a WAY later release, were you can make one of the characters trans. It will be optional and you'll have to click it to turn it on.

Nuverotic why did the netorare and virgin also cosplayer tags removed I'm confuse now?

Nuverotic why did the netorare and virgin also cosplayer tags removed I'm confuse now?

Because apparently you're supposed to only put tags after that content is IN the game. You can't put tags that are "COMING" to the game in future updates. The Netorare was removed though because there is CHEATING in the game, and the player controls it, but by definition, it's not "The main character being cheated on" which is what NTR is. As far as I know. So I changed it to cheating. Virgin should still be in there though. I'll look and make sure.

I despise that we even use NTR tag at all, We speak english and we have words for "NTR" that arent confusing. I wish we could delete it off this site and just use Swinging, Sharing, and Cheating. These 3 tags = NTR in its various forms and is a hell of alot eaiser to understand.

Like the project, cant wait to see what else you have in store for us

I absolutely agree. And I'm glad you like the project. There is a LOT in store for it!

What do you mean what's up with it? Bad stuff can happen in this game. They didn't have a tag for "Cuddle Struggle"... Or "Sorta forced entry", so that's the tag.

What I meant was if its unavoidable or if you're lokking for trouble you'll find it. most players care for the character they play with so unless they have "wanna be raped" kink they will avoid this game.

Well luckily you have control over whether it happens or not so that's not something I need to be worried about.

 

[LillyKat]

Thank you! The renders actually get better as you progress. I had three different workflows that kept improving as I went along. When you get to the dinner scene, that's my current workflow.

Very nice. They all look great. Looking forward to what comes in the future. Thanks for sharing your work.

Isn't the corruption stage happening too fast? I would like a more modest heroine and gradual corruption.

Isn't the corruption stage happening too fast? I would like a more modest heroine and gradual corruption.

How is it happening too fast? You've only had dinner with the brooks and talked to 4 of the 8 characters so far.


If you're talking about Annika... She's not the one being corrupted. You can INCREASE or LOWER her corruption, but she is corrupt from the start of the game. SHE is the one corrupting others. The corruption comes with corrupting the good Christian girl into doing bad things. Or the nerd. Or the aspiring filmmaker. Or the pregnant wife. Or the husband. These are the people getting corrupted.

You know, if I took too long to show corruption in the game, people would complain I took too long to get to the corruption. If I bring it straight in. Then people will complain it's too early.

I have a VERY detailed story written out, and I've put a LOT of time and thought into the flow, progression and pacing. Everything has a reason to be there. Trust the process. I put months into the story before I even started working on the game.
