VN Ren'Py Completed Hustle Town [Complete] [Mickydoo]

[Safetydummy]

This looks interesting- there's only one glaring issue that I see with the game. You say the MC is a something of slacker (lazy) and has to hustle to get money for beer and weed? I hate to be the one to say that someone with a physique like that is hardly the definition of a "slacker". Your pretend character has more motivation and dedication than I have IRL. You should have made him look more like Shaggy from "Scooby-Doo". Now THAT'S a slacker. Lol

A bigger physique could mean he sits around and eats more. To me he didn't look big muscular just big as in eating sitting and shitting.

well and fucking at least ^^

Opinions. Note, I am just one man with one option, many people will disagree with me.

• Player named player character tend to have no backstory and no real motivation to do things. Personally I think it's a negative.
• Women in this game look 16. That will trigger social justice people. Note that they are pubescent and this rule 7 ok, unless there is an exception made.
• I wish there were more variation in body shapes. Skinny teens are nice, but also voluptuous women are too. Why not have both?
• Animations are a plus... not the dreaded 3 frame animation but legit animations... Saying that, they only animate the women in one scene so it feels weak overall. Still good but a missed opportunity.
• Player looks awfully old to be hitting on teenagers.
• Writing seems to be decent syntax and error free.
• Map system is awkward.
• I admit I skipped reading the quality of writing to see how long the game is. So I can't tell if plot is good or bad.
• Demo is pretty short but does have a hook to show what sex scenes are like.

Hard to rate since I skipped the plot. Assuming plot is not utter trash i'm at a 4/5 for the demo. Above average, but minor things hold it back. Will see if this game grows or shrinks with time.

Edit: Sounds like the plot is dumb from others, so this is more a 3/5 an average game then.

Nice Models, solid Renders but I don't see a real Plot and the whole structure of the Game is kinda weird. You just run through the same Schedule each Day without real Choices.

Also the Sex Scene with the Girl is kinda unbelievable. Its like a Scene out of a badly written Porn-Movie.

Hi,

I am a bit of a newbie to this kind of games and this is my first post on this forum. I played a few games though. Some were good, some were excellent, some were less, some I abandoned within an hour. Although it is still in a very early stage of development, Hustle Town really impressed me. Hope you will carry on.

Most important is wether you like the girls in the game. This game does not require you to explore your mother or your teacher, what I usually don't fancy much. I like the fact that the girls in this game do not have , may I say, American sizes (big boobs and asses). And I really like the writing, it made me laugh.

So far my favorites are the gloomy stoner girl and the clumsy waitress. I'd love to hang around in this town for a while.

edit: the girls do not look 16 to me. Not where I come from. I would say the are in the range 18-25, and they prefer a salad over a burger.

 

[TheTalSet]

Well this game has potential and I think Mickydoo is surely take the advice here and making it better the next time
I´m looking forward to it !

The girls look good but other than that I didn't find anything interesting. It feels somewhat repetitive, there is no need for day and night cycle like the one presented. Also the main character looks out of character, he definitely does not look like some slacking junkie he looks more like some gangster slash former comandos (or something like that). Definitely he is out of place, out of character... to have a physique like that, you can't just go around day by day and sit on your ass all day.

Also all characters look shallow, they don't act naturally, no girl would make sex like that on the second day she sees you (without some good reason), is she a pervert?!, she didn't look or act like a pervert. Also the situation did look awkward, it was just a pretty normal conversation, they were not in a bar or on a date, she just showed up and wanted sex, like she was his girlfriend for 10 years already. Jenny acted unnaturally, I would understand if she was some super kinky devilish character, but she acted like a normal girl even when she asked for sex, she was shy. Also MC behaviour was unnatural too, most normal men would be really startled if an almost unknown girl knocks on their door at the morning and hops on them like that wanting sex.

It feels like the game has no actual story and no characters. If the author wanted to show a sex scene it could have been some erotic daydream or something like that... also the sex scene was uninteresting. It was literally (cock goes in -> cum -> out)... that was it, worse than a sex with a prostitute, no feelings (from both sides) no nothing... it was like it was nothing... Was she a robot?! Only a robot girl could do what was showed... but then it would have been probably more interesting, because a robot girl can also do things a normal girl could not do... soooo... author should try to write a better story or have a story at all, because there is no story in this game. It's just a day night simulator with some pictures and basic conversations. OK I'm probably too critical but still, the game needs better story, or otherwise some good CGs are just wasted.

You can now jump around the hostel. Some of it's pointless for now. The kitchen you cannot do anything, but maybe cooking the ladies dinner later on. You go to bed by going the bedroom (exciting I know). The icon with Jenny's head, that's Jenny's room, you can now visit her if she is home, the icon is me experimenting calling a different map based on a time variable, her head will show when she is there. There is also a gym in the basement, it's symbolic mostly, but like Jenny's room, a head icon will appear if she is in there too, you can go and interact with her. The other thing next to the map is a storage/utility room, it serves two functions. Firstly there are some items in there that you will find handy, secondly, once a week someone will be in there at a certain time, it's more or less an excuse for me to use another character (NPC for now) in a maid uniform .

Player UI revamped, map completely changed, new locations rendered and nearly ready to add (I have added one). Amy's story is well on the way, a side quest implemented, I am ahead of myself for the release by the end of the month. I've also added a new male character, and two NFC's (Non Fuckable Characters), not sure if I made that up or not. One is for helping you get some information, it's a sex game, of course you will be able to bang her eventually, but she is not going to be focused on anytime soon, the MC has his hands full enough as it is. The other one, is this one, she is the maid/cleaner. You only have the chance to see her once a week, you can talk to her, but there is no story progression with her, I need her for a reason to show up when she does. There is a secrete way to bang her, but I won't let on how.

I have been playing with Penny for a side quest, she didn't really go to confession, the MC should be with the thoughts going through his head. Just a quick update as we are half way through the month and I was hoping I'd be halfway through the update, and I am glad to report I am over halfway. Last week I said I had re-made the UI and map, this week I have just been rendering and writing, I've got more renders than dialog at the moment but that's how I work. Some musicians write the music before the lyrics, sometimes I let the renders dictate the story to me. If I get time I am going to re do the mobile phone interface next.

 

[myuhinny]

Wednesday Addams is that you? She looks alright but she's not as hot as the maid is though.

You need apples, I wont say why, but its a good opportunity to get know Jade a little better.
An update of where I am at.... I have got 90% of the renders done that lead up to the Amy scene, I still have a fair bit to write but that can be done in a day, I have been waiting for the weather to cool off, which is has. At the moment I experimenting with making animations in blender and importing them into DAZ, I can make animations in blender though its been a while and blender is annoying as all fuck to use if you are are use to 3ds max, but I don't know how to animate in max, and max and daz love fighting each other, blender for all its flaws is really good for bridging between different 3d programmes.

I was trying to get this out today, but I need a day or two more. It's had massive updates to get to this point.
Map has had a complete overhaul.
Player UI has been added when you are at the hostel.
The phone has been completely changed.
At least six new locations.
Two side quests.
Two female and two male NPC's (There are a couple more you meet but they are irrelevant for now.)
120 images at last count (there is more)
Two little puzzled type features, nothing major, and one can be skipped, the other is not really a puzzle.
You get some action with Amy.
I'm just tidying things up now, it's midday Saturday my time, hopefully proof read tomorrow and then it's good to go.

Damn I hate puzzles, is this game filled with puzzles?

No it isn't. In fact, there's really only 1 instance I'd call a puzzle, but it give you a hint as to how to complete it. Just don't be skipping through all the dialogue. There's another instance where you look for something useful, again...it's easy and tbh a no brainer. This VN is not puzzle heavy other words.
