Ren'Py Harvesting Corruption [v0.1] [JuicyGenieGames]

[Nuverotic]

Ok, solid teaser for the game. I've found this mistake. I'm also not quite a fan of the textbox and especially of the portraits. I find it distracting to have the character on screen and another picture with a completely deadpan expression. I think the differing text colors make who is speaking clear enough.

I think the concept of having a female protagonist be a corruptor is unique enough for me to follow the development. However, so far she didn't strike me as particularly manipulative. It would be nice for her to be more active in controlling how others perceive her. For now she's just kind of normal.

Oh great catch! Thank you! I've added that to my fix list!
I'm going to be totally honest, I kept if very vague in the beginning so I could get to the open world part. Because all of my UI/Maps/Time of day/Corruption and Affinity Variables, all those systems didn't "kick in" until you got to the first "Navigation" section. So I kept it pretty vague in the beginning to get us to that point. Day two really kicks off all of the festivities. But I completely agree with what you're saying. And there's a good chance I'll go back one day and "bulk up the intro".

I'm going to do a poll about the Textbox "Character Portraits" because I sort of feel the same as you. I thought they'd be helpful but you may be right.

art direction

As a filmmaker and graduated film student, you'd think I'd have figured that out on my own. lol. I really appreciate the compliment though!

Still

Whatever clips you have in your signature... AMAZING fluid simulations. What are those clips from? They must be Blender CG's.

The bed isn't a bug [...].
Why release it like this? Because it's on my Patreon, and before someone takes it from my Patreon and releases it here without telling me, I now have control over my own game on this site.

By "what was the point of releasing it in such state" I mean why when I click on the bed I end up in bathtub and I get an error?

Not sure what plastic glow you're referring to.

Eyebrows being too dark? Honestly that's very nitpicky, I'm not going to change that. lol.

Nitpicky? Nah, I'm not the only one who pays attention to it. It definitely draws attention away from her whole face. But do your own thing! If I wanted to be picky, I would mention how his tattoo is changing

Spoiler: In the very same scene

As I said earlier, this all may sound a little harsh but I in no way think badly of you or the game. I'm very curious, the project has just started and I hope it will only get better with each update.

I will possibly do some sort of in-game walkthrough, but it's not on my radar currently. The GUI/UI/UX will be completed in full by the next update, so worrying about losing your saves won't be that big of a deal. I won't be messing with UI and the story at the same time.
This sandbox DOES require you to be at certain places at certain times. But it's not required. There is a New Game Plus for those who want to go back through, keep all their stats, and see the other options. You can't be good and bad at the same time. I appreciate the feedback though. Thank you!

thank you for replying, and easing fears about previous saves incompatibility. the new game plus sounds interesting. i think playing a porn game as a good girl doesn't make sense. to each their own though.

1. Yes. Don't get in bed. I think I said that in the post. If not I meant to. The bed is linked to a time system that is not ready yet.
2. I released it in this state so I could control the release on this site, before someone ripped it from my patreon and put it here where I can't control it.
3. The glow you're seeing isn't AI. It's just the skin texture. It's supposed to be a light sweat. AI is only used ever so slightly on the face.
4. Tattoo changed in that scene likely because I didn't completely remove the AI overlay. The AI overlay goes over the WHOLE image. I then erase it off everything but the face, in photoshop. So if you're seeing a tatoo change, it means my brush had the opacity turned down and I missed a spot.
5. The project will definitely get better as time goes on. And I may even redo some of the intro shots. Right now though, I'm balls deep in finishing this time mechanics code.

I don't think it makes sense either, but if you want to bring the family together and solve everyone's character archs, then you can do that and be good. You can also be a little bit in between. Be nice to some characters, corrupt others. Up to you.
Also, I think you'll REALLY like how I implement the New Game Plus. It's not just, game ends, you can start again... It's actually a really cool plot point in the story. It all makes sense. You'll see.

How bad is the sadbox part of the game?

The game crashes before we can find out so it's pretty good. No gameplay = No sandbox

 

[Eind040]

Is there somthing to do after taking the bath?

 

[lockerxx]

that ai intro was nightmare material.
pro-tip add fast travel.

 

[Durbog]

You will absolutely have FULL control over the content you engage in.

So, will we have enough content for each path? I mean, for example, if i will want only lesbian walkthrough, will i get enough content too?

 

[Nuverotic]

Well, I guess that depends on what's enough to you.
In the end, you have 2 months worth of time to "complete" everything before the game ends and starts you over with the new game plus.
During that time, you have 3 women and 5 men to "romance". One of those women has the option to be a FUTA. I don't want to explain how because it will ruin her arch. But let's say you wanted to play JUST lesbian content, you would ABSOLUTELY have tons of content to experiment with. IF you count self pleasure scenes, then even more.

 

[Nuverotic]

There is fast travel. Maps have not been implemented yet. If you think that intro is nightmare material, you should see most AI video content on the internet. You'll never sleep again.

 

[Nuverotic]

Other than exploring the outside and main house, not yet. 2 weeks the next update will drop with all the new mechanics in place and another section of character story.

The game only crashes if you click the bed. As I said in the post, DO NOT CLICK THE BED. It is not hooked up to the time system yet.

LOL THANKS!!! The 3D animators are "Polished Jade Bell" on the left (Kiriko and DVA from Overwatch) and other random shots and the right is "Bamh3d" (Ahri character from KDA) you can search on Rule34video for them

Seems to be kinetic. At the beginning you can choose for a single cabin or a shared and it doesn't matter what you choose.
Also i think it was too early to release it because there is nearly no content.

 

[Granpapi]

Sandbox + Corrupt + Preg

The best combo you can have in a game

Can someone explain the dilf tag?
How can it have a dilf tag if you play as a female student?

1. Yes, it was a VERY early release. I released it because I release two weeks earlier on Patreon and I didn't want the Patreon release getting uploaded here without my knowledge. This way I control all my releases. So the first release, is bare bones. But I update weekly on my Patreon, and bi weekly here. And I work almost 20 hours a day on it so the releases are THICC.

2. It is NOT a kinetic choice based VN. You are correct that THAT choice is kinetic. But that choice HAD to be, because you HAVE to take that cabin. lol. It was for story purposes. 98% of all other choices in game DO have weight to them. They affect story, affinity, corruption, puzzles, and paths being opened or locked.
