Ren'Py - Hornycraft [v0.26.1] [Shadik]

This is a review for v0.04.1. I also played an earlier version and was just as impressed. The story so far is alright, it has its ups and downs. The PC(Steve) let's himself get pushed around too much for my liking. The main girl(Alex) is also a giga-whore, but has yet to give Steve a taste. The story is now about making her your whore rather than one that sleeps around with everyone else. There are also other girls that Steve can get with.

The art is really good. The scenes are animated quite well. The art style is unique but fits for the Minecraft setting. Steve is the most blocky of all the characters. The other characters are also a bit blocky, but not too much. It strikes a perfect balance. It's most noticeable on Alex during her BJ scene.

The gameplay consists of talking to the girls, harvesting materials and upgrading locations. There are mini-games when you harvest and they are really simple. The grind can be reduced by upgrading your tools. But as of now the grind is still a bit much. I made it to day 50 before I could get every scene.

I like this game a lot, despite the setting. I absolutely hate Minecraft, but this game is good so I can look past it. I would recommend playing this game and supporting the developer Shadik if you can.

i see so much potential in this game, even tough it just came out i can see the love you put on the scenes and the art. That's a lot to take on consideration, should be more appreciated and hope to see a lot more on the future, take care and dont rush or burn yourself, you are doing a great job , hope to see all the mob-girls on the future

For what started as an April fools day joke, this has surprising high potential! To be fair, t is a bit grindy at the moment... but so is Minecraft when you think about it. Art's surprisingly good, and it's pretty funny.

There's very little content so far but for now I'll give it 5 stars because the art is amazing, what little animation is there is above average, and it's a unique/funny concept that's still pretty hot if done right.

THAT BEING SAID there's a clear potential for this game to suffer from mile wide inch deep (or even inch wide inch deep) syndrome. I played the game for 15 minutes tops and Alex was full willing slut for Steve. Seems like there's already no room for plot progression and all that's missing are the sex scenes, which is concerning. Hopefully it's just a proof of concept for how the systems work and it'll be rebalanced as more content is added because if it's just *throw 20 iron at each character to make them your bitch* this will turn into a 2/5 game real quick.

Review for 0.1

HornyCraft has a lot going for it, the concept and situations are engaging and different compared to the same old harem/ dating sim games. The dialog gives the characters a real personality but some things are left ambiguous which creates a nice mystery or thing to be discovered.

There are mechanics for gathering resources which is good, although they could use some work to make them less grindy in the future. The sex scenes are pretty straight forward but include good renders and animation.

I think it would be good to add in the feature to choose which outfit the characters are wearing as you unlock more outfits and if you have a high relationship score. It feels like the game has the potential to better with future updates.

Like some other people i haven't played the 1st release.
That said, from what i've seen, it has a lot of potential, the art is gorgeous, the dialogue is pretty good, the MC is a...slow guy, which is refreshing, and Alex is a horny girl which when combined with how slow the MC is can make for a few laughs.
The little sexual content we have right now is of good quality, and actually shows the interaction of two characters, not robots, again, refreshing.
Looking foward to the next releases, where the MC get to bang some monster girls and check out on Alex's adventures.
Keep up the great work!

Review for 0.1

I didn't play the original release, so im not sure about the april fools version of this game. It does seem to still affect this version somewhat. The intro in this game is a bit weird and it feels like it should maybe be repurposed later into the game.

Overall the dialogue is alright. A few mistakes or weird things here or there, but overall it's pretty good. You run out of dialogue options really fast though, so there isn't much to see in this version.

Story wise there isn't much yet. It does the job for now, but as I said the intro feels a bit off and that's most of the story rn.

Collecting resources is a bit annoying. The wood minigame especially, so far you don't need a lot of wood, but if I have to do that a lot it will be bad. The mining is alright imo, but still feels a bit grindy. Tbh I think that that's because it's the only thing to do once you run out of dialogue, so I had to do a bunch of it in a row. The mining might be balanced once more content is introduced. It's mostly annoying that you get cobblestone, which you can't really use right now.

The art is pretty good. the bj scene wasn't amazing imo, but otherwise I like it.

Should you play this game right now:
Well there is a scene, a scene and you can . There is a bit of dialogue, which is pretty good. Beyond that though, you'll have to wait for updates. imo it's worth a try rn if you really like the concept.

Overall this version has a lot of potential, but not the strongest start I have ever seen. Especially storywise it feels a bit weak. I would give it a 3.5/5 for now, but I think it will end up 4/5 or 5/5 with some more work.

Can't call this a game, nothing in it and the only real conten in it is a image of alex in a gold bikini. other than that it's just cycling through menu's. if i'm not supposed to take it this seriously then warn people about the prank or just don't post it here.
