Ren'Py Abandoned HSS -HighSchool Shenanigans- [v0.1.1 (bugfix)] [Studio Errilhl]

[Studio Errilhl]

Is there any femdom in this game or is it strictly maledom?

There are a couple of characters which might have the potential for femdom, but that is currently not part of the story-line. Not opposed to introduce that for those characters, though, in the future. Currently, most of the updates and releases are mechanics/game-code wise, although the story is being worked on separately, so there are always room for changes, additions and subtractions.

 

[Zippity]

It still is. Read the spoilers at the OP Though, since it's a patreon game, that needs to go out the window, hence the downloads are without the patch.

So is the one for download on this site supposed to be converted to non-family or being converted to family?

You can cheat, though, and modify said stats directly, if you want.

I'm a firm believer when playing any game or visual novel that if I can avoid doing any cheating, I will... I believe playing the original, in it's intended form, is the best way to experience the game... The only times I've ever cheated on any of these is when it is a super grind style game, where it would be hours of grinding to get the story moving... And that is because super grindy games are a waste of time if it takes that long to get to real content... This one, thank goodness, is not like that, and I always give two thumbs up for that...

As for the entrance, that needs to be modified - although those aren't closet doors I'm working on getting that one fixed up for one of the coming releases.

The door on the right looks like a door to a closet, like you typically see in that style of homes... It may not be intended to be that, but it sorta resembles one, with the door being so small and right next to the front door... Sorta like a coat closet...

The items in inventory is mostly for modifying stat-gains and such, in different parts of the game. Most of it is not utilized at the moment. There are also some bugs with the inventory in the current release, which have been fixed in upcoming version.

I kind of figured they would eventually do stuff, I just mentioned them in the review so folks wouldn't do the same thing I did with this version, trying to determine if they currently do anything... For my play through, they appeared to not really do much for the moment, was what I was pointing out...

However, the description of the breakfast events... it's the "landlady" making breakfast... not the roommate. Or, at least, it should be. If you get random roommate decreases, you need to talk to her, to solve the situation from the introduction. If you're talking about something else, I would need some more information

There was no option to talk to the Landlady in any room I visited, her dialogue would appear during breakfast, but no options appeared to actually select anything... In fact, the only time I saw her visual character was when she spoke during breakfast, otherwise she was absent visually in all other locations... Same with the room mate, in the beginning you had some choices when interacting with her, but once the day cycles began, she would appear for breakfast only, and was nowhere to be found (not even in her room) during any other parts of the day... In fact, the room mates visual character wouldn't even show on the screen, if she was by herself during her dialogue at breakfast... At no time during any breakfast scene, would there be any options to select from, ever... The dialogue played out and at the end you would get points if the room mate was by herself, and if the landlady showed up, most of the time there was a negative result... No interaction choices available...

And yes, it's an early Alpha - I mean, the version number isn't even at 0.1 yet. So there's gonna be a lot of back and forth, and modifications probably up until around 0.1 (is the hope) to get the mechanics working properly.

I tend to be as honest and as detailed as I can during my reviews... Mentioning the fact that it was early in development is just part of my review process, not a reflection on the version numbers or it's current status on other sites... And I perfectly understand that because it is so early, there are going to be unfinished mechanics, but it was a review of the version available on this site just prior to me playing and reviewing it...

I hope you'll hang around, and take a look at coming versions, although you might wanna skip a release or two, because there might not be that many visible changes between releases (check the changelog).

Oh, i plan to eventually revisit this one once it's several heavy content versions down the line to see how it's coming along... I see some potential in what's done thus far, even with it being so early into it's creation... Best of luck, as I know these things have got to be monumental to work on... Especially when they plan to have deep and entertaining stories... I don't really play/read these things purely for the erotic stuff, as I enjoy the story and plot aspects more, with the erotic content just being a bonus (window dressing as I've said in other reviews)... That's why I gravitate more towards erotic visual novels, that balance a deep and entertaining story with the erotic scenes...

There's been no update for a while now, which I apologize for. A complete rewrite of the base code has led to a few bugs that needs to be ironed out before next release. There is quite a few updated locations, updated UI, more content and such, but still, bugs that are game-breaking needs to be fixed before next release. I'm hoping I will be able to get that done during this week, and have a new release the coming Friday (after which the regular release-cycle should be obtainable again).

 

[Studio Errilhl]

New version up / out - plenty of changes, although most of it is GUI / behind the scenes.

 

[Pepooooooooo]

I dunno how but I get to 34 o'clock

Does anyone ever show up in any room other than your bedroom and the kitchen? After the intro I haven't even seen the sister in the house.

Is there a pattern to their movements that I'm missing or something? If not there probably should be. Relying on random chance to get encounters is pretty annoying.

 

[BitterFrost]

Yeah this is one of those empty rooms games. Not a soul anywhere in the house except on specific times in specific places. So on the first couple of days, you work on the bike, and then you wander from empty room to empty room with no clear plan of action. I found myself first sleeping the day away, then sleeping the night away. That's what I do in real life, don't need to do it in a game...

And what's with the rooms blinking? You go somewhere and the whole game blinks on and off a few times, and it's slooooow. Click, wait, room appears, blinks on, blinks off, blinks on, and then maybe you can do something.

I'm sure there may be a story in there somewhere, but playing the game just feels kind of bad. It feels like you're just walking in a hamster wheel.

First, i got stuck in the phone menu (couldn't remove it, hade to restart).
Second, when i washed my hands at night, the time got locked on 24:something.
Then i rediscovered the same panties again.

I liked the design. But not the gameplay.

I found that if you hold LCtrl as you move between rooms the blinking stops.

I had the same problem. You can load a save to get rid of the menu though.

The title alone implies underage, since most HS students are not 18 until sometime during their senior year.

 

[trumpthatbitch]

Game is a mess. No idea where to go just randomly clicking places. Tried to follow code but it's a mess to.

Used the code to figure out tablet password which is

but when i type it in nothing happens. No idea how to play this game it's like wheres waldo click a million different places until something happens.

Yeah, same here. If you save the game and then immediately load that save, the phone goes away. There seems to be no other way to hide it, though I didn't spend time systematically pushing every button on the keyboard.

I never could understand why so many erotic/adult themed visual novel/games, especially western themed ones, like to go with any of the sexually active characters still being in high school... Most student in their senior years of high school are not 18, thank you very much... 18 year olds in college or in a university makes way more sense...

Now in it's defense, there are some countries where high school goes beyond the conventional ages of 14-18 year old time frame... Some countries have high schools that do go beyond 3-4 years in length, but it is definitely not the norm... But I think these types of VN/games are hoping the readers/players will have suspension of disbelief... And just roll with it, even though it is over the top and not within the scope of reality, that the specific high school students involved are all 18+, with the rest not partaking in or being exposed to, anything porn related...

Now, if the visuals and story lead into any evidence to the contrary, and there is proof of any students being under the legal age to be involved with any thing sexual or adult oriented, then yes, the developers have gone too far and need to go... Personally, I have no patience or inclination to forgive and forget when I run across anything that proves to be ********** in nature, and never hesitate to report such stuff... But there needs to be some sort of proof, hinted at or direct in nature... And a disclaimer in the load up screens claiming everyone in the story is over the age of 18 doesn't mean jack when it is proven to be a lie... Not that I'm saying this VN/game falls into that category, as I've not played any updates recently, and haven't seen any proof yet on older play throughs...

"You're playing as "Marten" (pick you own name, of course) a end of high-school student".
Despite a certain fondness for the fantasy genre, I really don`t like people on high horses. I honestly doubt any of you haven't spanked the monkey to straight shota hentai at least once. The game looks good and the creator needs to be encouraged.
There. Your two cents. My two cents. We`ll have a whole buck in no time.

 

[Darkaura]

And what's with the rooms blinking?

Skip transitions in the phone.

I think it's way simpler than this. In latine countries, "collège", "colegio", and other declination according to the language, is before high school (11yo-14yo, so late loli). In the same time, whatever your own language, "high school" is explicit. Even if you don't really know about UK/US school system, even if your English skills are weak, you understand that it's the higher level of school.
To this, you have to add the planning, which is more stable and predictable in high school than university, which is a great helper for creators.

As far as I can tell, there is not way to get a handjob/oral or vaginal/anal sex as the tags indicate. Does this content exist and I'm just retarded? If it does exist, please explain how to get it. If not, please remove those tags, tags are for what the game currently has, not what will be added in the future

 

[marcsan]

i found the solution for the phone problem. there is a little button in the side of the phone. click that to make it go away.

There isn't any beastiality in this game, so not sure what your on about... Just kidding... Gotta learn to lighten up, I was just replying to the other guys concern... Don't take everything so seriously or to heart so quickly...
