VN Ren'Py Heaven's Door [Ch.1 .01] [AlterWorlds]

[Jarulf]

Very, very good start.
Hopefully there's a Steam release in the not too distant future.

I assume the Harem is Eternum style, but how about making a harem of...one? Will monogamy routes like that make sense?

Also, what about the ones already in the relationship, will they come only as a package deal? I like Sapphire's looks, but I won't get baited again into breaking up lesbians, I still hate myself for trying solo Athena and solo Heidi

If you can turn down whoever you want, then surely you can do a harem of one. How the story works out doing that is going to be question. They'll obviously be around, but will the dialogue reflect the choices or just assume you're fucking everyone.

seriously, a game set in a strip club where the girls don't even go topless? Don't make me laugh. Otherwise not bad, but that's an immediate 1,5 stars down from the rating if I were to give it one. Free the boobs.

To be fair, on a long enough timeline every character you play as will die. Everyone ever born will die. But I do kind of get the same vibe, of it not being the best hook for the beginning of an AVN. I'll let the dev cook though.

Please, don't let me disturb your theorizing...

The thing about that is that, this is the first chapter of the story. For all we know, the hit on the head by that creep may have killed the tumor. Or a second one will... or the MC will fall into a vat of chemicals... or be bitten by a radioactive scorpion... or electrocuted while trying to repair the GAS sign for Charlie.

We don't know, because... we can't know.

I'm a reader. Have been all my life. In the several thousands of books I've read, I've never started by reading the end. Even on the second or third reading... The best part is: Not Knowing.

Starting on the first chapter angry because of the possible ends you can imagine... feels... kinda sad... actually. Someone stole your sense of wonderment, your ability to hope, the capacity to try even if you fail in the end. You have allowed your life to become sadder, smaller and... quite clearly... depressing.

This, said by someone that lives plagued by perpetual depression. If I couldn't fight back by refusing to give in to darkness, by lighting as many beacons of hope as I can, I surely would have passed long ago.

The Dev team already told us a beautiful story, with many moments where hope seemed to have ran out. In the end, at least on mine, love and life won. Maybe, who knows, maybe that is the fate of this story too... and if it isn't... maybe it will be beautiful also.

Peace

One thing I'm excited about is with this being a opt in/out harem style game, the development time will likely be much faster, so we get to see more of the LIs faster.

Definitely not angry here. Was just saying as a plot hook to get people invested in the story, it's on the bleak side, and that may turn folks away.

I disagree the best part is not knowing. Revisiting characters and worlds, discovering something new (to oneself) woven into the story, understanding it with more depth, all much better than just not knowing. It's why people will go and see Hamlet over and over again through their lives, because the material is so rich it goes beyond the plot.

You come across as very smug, patronising, and paternalistic. Maybe you're projecting, maybe you believe you have some insight, but it doesn't recommend yourself well.

Hope you have a good time though.

I think people just judge the game too early and quickly, it is just chapter 1. A promising and good start, Dev has a good record before, they are enough for me to look forwards to future updates.

Well, after getting caught up with the Dev on this first release, I have to say early fav has to be Pixie, or Coral, depending on which name you want to consider her by. She is just too cute, I love her.
