VN Ren'Py Abandoned Haunted University [v0.1] [Axolotl Games]

[Wicks99]

He closed his discord?
I wouldn't be surprised. There's people getting all upset here that I wouldn't talk to if you offered me a thousand bucks.

I think the only real mistake the dev made was not clearly explaining what kind of harem to expect at the start of the game, to send all the thin skinned incel kiddies packing so they don't clog up the thread and go elsewhere.

That's probably what a lot of game devs should be doing moving forward. Offer a disclaimer that makes clear who they don't pander to so those kiddies take their ceaseless whining elsewhere and don't get invested in a game that hurts their fragile masculinity.

Yea, tat's why I often advocate developers to collect feedback in a more statistical manner. A lot of the screaming and shouting on forums and Discord are often just the works of a vocal minority.

What a strange approach... I've played harem or pick one LI games, but pick one LI with a harem of side girls is rare. I wonder how the game is going to be internally consistent going forward

My guess is that he is going to have this like BaDIK - one of several LI's or a 'harem' of side whoresgirls.

looks promising. I wish good luck to dev. and finally the MC has an original face and not a stock one from daz3d.

Yeah, the MC's face & hair isn't exactly my thing, but I prefer playing a unique looking protagonist with personality to all the default faces that stand around trying to look masculine with little emotion or facial expression and the personality of a refrigerator door.

That's one of the things that stands out to me: the MC, his boys, and the girls all have their own unique look & personality, instead of the same model in 5 different variants.

Not bad. It's early so maybe it will round out but I found the depiction of the students to be a bit too stereotypical. It kind of made a lot the characters seem shallow or two-dimensional.

Like the frumpy girl has to be super meek and skittish, hot girl has to be vapid and a bully, jocks are idiot brutes. I guess that's a criticism I would have for most college games but this one didn't rise above it. Let's see more nuance when it comes to the characterization.

When will the new update of scrap mechanic come?

 

[J0K3RXXX]

It looks promising.

 

[thundergate]

Looks good, except the MC looks like Jeffrey Dahmer with a silly headband that most girls would find too effeminate to consider him straight.

 

[Prokopije]

It's not the dev who's "problem" here, but folks who expect entire world to fit into their personal definitions of certain tags.
Take for example some popular games, as BADIK. Numerous side girls banging other dudes, numerous side girls making their living of the prostitution etc. Game is not NTR tagged. So why this one should be? For same content (random MC unrelated girl banging some dude) but on much smaller scale?
As for harem, definition nowhere states that it MUST include ALL girls in the game. If, from 10 girls you can "haremise" 5, that's still harem. It also doesn't state that all of them must be immaculate virgins.
So there is no NTR and there is (will be) harem.

Games like these are the reason why the new tag system is necessary. I don't think it will end arguments, but I do hope it will minimize them. Like, for example, these:

harem

A non-monogamous relationship centered around the protagonist being loved by at least two more people. Sex with outsiders is allowed as long as the core dynamic is not affected

And, of course, this one.

protagonist-centric

✨

Used when there the protagonist is the only person to engage in sexual activity with any of the other characters.

I can't wait until 2030 for the new system to arrive.

And, if the developer is reading this, don't be discouraged. It's hard for the first version of a game to be free of criticism. Pay attention only to constructive criticism (positive and negative) and, as the cool guy above says, it would be good if you could clarify some things that players have doubts about.

We need more tags. Monogamy, Aftercare, Foreplay.

 

[JillybeanEnjoyer]

I think I'll try it out come the 0.2 or 0.3 update.

 

[Prokopije]

And is there someone that enjoyed this scene?

I did. Not because I like content itself, but because it's something new and something we rarely see in games. It raises this game above cliche. And it was somewhat funny scene.

Android versión?

 

[Tunak23]

You guys succeeded in making Kimberly the perfect combination between a really intriguing girl and a bitch, there is something that resonates with her character as well that she us hot as hell. Characters introduced do far are quite promising, after playing the first better I can only praise what we've gotten so far, really excited to see more of Kimberly and co moving forward to those sexy times too!

Use Joiplay it works like a charm for this one.

 

[godscoper]

NPCface McTits is a future LI? I thought the game proper labeled her as a side character?

EDIT:
Unless he changed his mind in Discord, which I still do not have access to because the discord link posted here is not the invite link but some link to the channel inside the game discord, I will take the game's word for it. "Other Characters".

dev said only choose 1 main Li and the rest of the side characters are quote "Harem".

Join the Kimber crew!

dev said only choose 1 main Li and the rest of the side characters are quote "Harem".

Based on how I understand it, there's two paths.

• Relationship Path: 1 LI only
• Fuckboy Path: fuck the promiscuous girls all you want but none of the main LIs will want a relationship with you

So right now, the choices as I understand it would be:

• Your girlfriend is Kimber; or
• Your girlfriend is Dina; or
• Your girlfriend is Sakura; or
• You fuck around with Heaven, Mercedes, Alba, and Nikki, and not be in a relationship. They will have sex with you, with other men, probably group sex too

looks promising. A walkthrough mod would be alright.
