VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.15.1] [DarkBlue]

[AngelsAfterDark]

Our Fate was good, but I don't like how different paths were handled there either. You see exactly the same pictures but narration and meaning are differs for the different paths. This is fine if you're only playing one playthrough, but if you want to try every possible route, it will cause you a kind of cognitive dissonance. With Hillside I see a different problem, a dozen chapters have passed by and the MC hasn't been given a chance to show that he sees Emma in any role other than as a daughter. I wonder if the author will be able to make such a sudden turn in the MC's attitude towards Emma natural and plausible.

I only played two routes. The fatherly route and the romance route. Never could bring myself to complete the corruption route. Just couldn't do that to poor Claire lol. But I get your point.
As for the MC not seeing Emma as a potential Li yet,im sure it has to do with the fact that she still acts like a child atm. But going forward Emma will gradually start acting more matured as well as dressing more womenly. I think that's when the MC, hopefully by players choice will begin to notice her.

Game made by a virgin. Chapter 12 and outside of some tits and groping nothing happened. I understand plot with porn, even like it, but this? Totally bla bla bla, and no action. For those who want to see something more then just people talking, move on. I just did

Ok, member since 2019 and that's your first post? How many games did you play? This is first game you had this "meltdown" and decide to intervene? It's calling "slow burn" And it's quite common. Ar least you should play the last part of the game, then it's possible to talk about the game. This is just fishing for spoilers.
You like this game? Play it. You don't like it. Don't play it. Make you own game, post it here and enjoy in comments.

I dont post messages. But this game simply irked me the wrong way. Good quality, nice story, just not any action. Slow burn is not having 12 chapter out with nothing happening. Its a drought all the way. Slow burn is it not..in the words of a great goblin

Ok so you're a shallow individual, we get that, but then why don't you just stick to a more basic game instead of complaining for 'reasons' ?

I'm just surprised that you had no encounter with that. I played many games where was no sex up to end of the game. Nothing new. It's called AVN (Adult Visual Novel) and meant that there could be sex scenes, but actually there must not be any. It's a story, we're having here conversation about it. But playing to lvl 12 and come with your comment and complain that nothing happen isn't OK. There are many games where I asked a question, but it would be how to proceed.
There are games where I started to play, got bored and quit. Without even one post. Even if I liked it. The game have only to implement sandbox or to much freeroam and I'm out.

There was any slow burn tag, and then played it till last chapter. And since having a negative opinion on something its forbidden? I left the first message , so people like me( the shallow type), know to move on if they are not interested.

Got lucky i guess. I usually look at tags, And description. This one looked good, so i tried it. Not my cup of tea. Never posted before, but i felt the need to let the ones who are like me, shallow like how another person called me in a response, and have no idea that avn stand for just plot . Lesson learned

Descriptions can be (and are) usually written what is currently implemented into games. Plus is when Developer write down future tags. He can even write about slow burn, but that not common. Most AVN I play are slow burn type, I don't ask for it, but if I see a new game with interesting tags, it's 90% chance it will be slow burn. That's luck too.
But (in my opinion) slow burn games are usually the best. If you're in search for games to play, just write down what are you searching for, what you like and what you don't like. And games you already played. If highlight games you liked, it would be easier for us to suggest you something.

Not sure what you mean by little sis/big sis route. But they're all Li's if that's what you want to know. Both Emma and her sister.
Charlotte is a slow build as her route should be, given the trauma. Dev has handled her route pretty well so far not rushing anything. Tho her letting Emma go out with Zak as well as encouraging it did contradict her character, but not everything can be perfect I guess.

Yeah I wrote Claire...And?
If I remember correctly that's the default name of the main Li from Our Fate, so not sure what you're on about. Please clarify.

Man, I'm just joking.

The Author said: all the family members are the game's LI (mom, aunt, little sister, big sister).

The game's been showing something quite different, in fact.
Truth is that we only had 2 major branching decisions: 1) in the beginning either choosing Lucy or entering Charlotte's path; 2) either boning Kayla as a fuckbuddy or not-boning her (it might become a problem with the family girls, I guess).
In the meanwhile we raised Emma points and became her he-might-become-my-stepdaddy and witnessed Suzi become less important than a flower vase on a table in the living room.

/backs away slowly...
I don't think that philosophy will serve you well in F95 and Patreon...
Considering menarche typically occurs between the ages of 10 and 16, with the average age of onset being 12.4 years.

When you celebrate Easter, I wish everybody who celebrate it Happy Easter!

Hope you had a wonderful First Sunday After the First Full Moon On or After the Spring Equinox!

Hi, guys.

Nearly finished now. Testing will start in the next few days and, depending on how it goes, I would expect it to take two to three weeks.

Thanks,
DB

Do we know the expected date of release?

Do we know the expected date of release?

If testing goes well, probably within a week.

Oh my sweet Emma don't worry we will see each other again soon.

Watch out! I saw Suzy. She was in her usual mood. Meens; she just kill somebody or she is in search for a victim. aka: you.

Seeing as this game is a slow burn I'd assume its far from over so there's still time to develop the romance path for Suzy. MC being her white knight is only the stepping stone for their eventual relationship, whether that's friendship or more. I know everyone expected her to hop on the MCs dick after he came to her rescue and if this was a porn game then that probably would've happened. But this is not that, it's a story focused game that focuses on relationship building, trust building etc. In addition to the main story of course.
So yes The MC came to her aid but she still doesn't know if she can really trust him. Maybe she already had a guy in the past who she thought she could trust but then he fucked her over so now like her mom she has trust issues. I don't know we'll see.
That said tho, if this game is nearing its end then yeah your point holds up cause so far there hasn't really been any proper build for her path. But hopefully it's the former and not the latter.
