VN Ren'Py Abandoned Hometown Trap [v1.5] [Spaceball1]

[SpaceBall1]

Kimberly's Life sounds really good, but are you going to develop the new game in parallel to HT or will the next update be the last?

For now, I’ll work on Kimberly’s life. I was trying to make this game(hometown trap) have 2 MC’s and I just didn’t like how it was going. I really wanted to tell Kimberly’s story. However I will come back to hometown trap, and add to it. There’s always the possibility to complete it too. But for now I am keeping it open to continue.

Just curious, is Kimberly's Life be a kinetic novel as well?

Well whatever you do I'm sure it'll be great. Good luck!

Right now that is the plan. If I make choices they won’t be choices that make drastic changes. Maybe choices for a BJ versus a tit job, stuff like that.

Well whatever you do I'm sure it'll be great. Good luck!

Thank you

I hope that her nasty little brother will also be in this story.

Heh heh! Now I have even MORE corruption to look forward to!!
(I'm such a deviate... )

p.s. SpaceBall1 - will my Patreon account still give me access to Kimberley's Life?

Yes. The same Patreon will be used for both games so you will have the same access.

So basically you bit off too much to chew and now want to change to a different/easier-to-manage game, thus leaving this one incomplete or abandoned as most other devs do.

(Have seen far too many devs say "I may come back to it later", and the game never sees any more content).

That doesn't build too much confidence in you as a dev when you change your project on a whim. Not speaking for anyone else, and not insulting as I enjoy the game you were working on, but it comes across to me that you wanted to "test the waters" when making a game, then when you got the audience, threw out your "real idea" as a replacement.

In the end, it's your game and your choice. Just know that some won't enjoy getting invested, only for the game to stagnate while the dev they follow goes about a completely different project that could possibly see the same fate if it doesn't "turn out how they wanted".

I don't think it's that at all. I believe they just like the other girl's model and story better, and want to pivot to that one instead. Very simple, not a bait & switch.

I Understand that you may get this impression. But the truth is far from what you wrote. Like Trueblood said, I like Kimberly’s model. I had no intention of this when I began. I was looking for assets and found Kimberly’s model (named Sarah) and I had to use her because I was very drawn to her. I came up with a backstory for the character and thought that this backstory could make its own game.

Also it’s really not that different. Same town, same old men. It’s simply easier this way, I will be able to show more content and not confuse players when they try to follow two stories in one game.

I also understand that many people will get the same fear and impression as you. But that’s a risk I had to take. I’m sorry I upset you.

I weep for rayanne and her step mom.

You will love this update. And I plan on continuing this. I really do. Just might take a little while.

Going to miss Rayanne. Not so much Cathie and Carry to be honest.

I like Kimberly. I also think she has better set up. The two idiot neighbors are hilarious. I love them. The whole 'where is my groping bitch' from 'grandpa' is also nice. The model is also gorgeous.

If anything I feel that using the existing set up for Rayanne with Kimberly is going to rush things a bit (I am talking about the elderly bunch). And I'd refrain from making the neighbors force themselves more to Kimberly. I feel that Kimberly having to do them as part of grandpa's orders would be so much hotter that those two idiots making the steps by themselves.

I absolutely agree and I have a special plan for exactly that, because the Grandpa is the mastermind behind the redneck neighbors. But it was honestly feeling more rushed having Kimberly in Hometown Trap because I was leaving out some things and changing some things in order to fit her and Rayanne's development in the same update, and also trying show enough content. I honestly don't know how you do it with 3 girls in your game. And btw, it makes me happy that you like my game so much.

Her set up feels better. Part of that is because when I started, I had no idea what I was doing. But her struggle is much more real. Being so poor and stuck in her situation with her drunk mother and caring for her brother. Now I can tell it the way I originally intended to when I came up with her story. Thank you for your comment.

I'm not upset, merely stating how things seemed to be going. I wish you no ill will and nothing but success as I enjoy the mix of humor in your story to this point (Not to mention the username. Great movie reference to a personal favorite). It's simply the jaded prick inside me seeing patterns after countless favorites in the past getting cancelled, or Devs "changing their mind" to go to something else. If I offended, that was truly not my intention and I apologize. I merely wanted to give you an outsider's perspective as it is possible that some won't adapt to the change in story/game, as it seems more common than not that the original games end up abandoned or cancelled these days, which can then lead to a lot of people becoming jaded or just ignoring your work as another in a long line of bait and switch titles.

Am also no stranger to another character stealing your inspiration and making you take a detour for a different story. It can, and often does, happen when you least expect it. Keep doing what you're doing. Make what YOU want to make, first and foremost. If the story stands on it's own, people will follow it. That's really all anyone can ask.

I'm not sure why we should miss Rayanne. Doesn't all the info regarding Kimberly mean that she simply will get her own game rather than the arc in existing one leaving the scene to Rayanne as a main star?

I think it's an interesting idea to have two redneck neighbors acting through Kimberly's brother.
P. S. And yes - game is very nice! ))

Hello everyone. Version 1.5 was released on Patreon to the 10 dollar patrons. It will be here in a week.

 

[mitchk809]

Nice update!! It would be nice to have some good animations, but that would slow the updates down too much. That last scene though!
