VN Ren'Py In Her Service [v0.75] [Blue Factory Games]

[V&M]

Disabling notifications here, I was already losing interest, and since it will take even longer for the public version to come out, I will wait until the game is finished to take a look.
Note: I think it is a shot in the foot, wanting to force people to pay, making public access difficult. Support is something that is given willingly, and by making access longer, I believe it will have the opposite effect of what is expected.
Good luck to the developer and to the players who will still continue.

SO now you have to wait longer for the same amount of content.... Just like most games really start to like and actually support, ends up just like many other devs.

bro wut on earth are you talking about? He regularly releases updates as public updates one update behind the paid one. That's way better than most of the devs on the site as far as engagement with the unpaid group goes.

We havent had an update super recently because he was indisposed - but that goes for paid as well - .7 and .68 shoudl be soon.

The dev just announced that they will be delaying the public versions by 2 whole versions, as opposed to only 1 so far.

Public version is coming out with the next ee update. The only difference is that public version is delayed once for 2-3 weeks. After that it goes back to regular schedule where i release latest EE and oldest ee update goes into public hands.

The reason for change was that when i introduced tiers i was green and didn't know that some people can't read and they subscribe for stuff expecting something else. Which is why 'member tier' supporters who should wait 7 days for latest update would write to me constantly that they supported me and got in return nothing.

Obviously i tried to explain how it works but half the time i got "this is scam", "I want booba" with instant unsub.
Now one could argue that they are in the wrong... and they are dejure wrong. But thinking about it from their pov, they support me and in fact get nothing until that 7 day wait goes away. So they are kind of right defacto. Plus every time i get pm i have to explain at length this stuff.

Which is why i made the change to use two EE versions. This way 'member tier' supporters always get something + latest after 7 days and since that change i got 0 new messages from member tier supporters which seems to fixed the issues.

Obviously with introduction of new ee, public version has to one time wait for additional 2-3 weeks till next release for which i am sorry.
After that one time wait, things go back to normal and public gets release every time new latest is released which is on average 2 times a month.

I can hardly understand you, but from what I gather, this isn't a one time deal: you are changing the system of Patreon rewards, so that the highest-Tier supporters get the <latest version>, lower-Tier supporters get <latest version -1>, while the Public version is now always going to be <latest version -2>.

Is that right?

Frankly, you are the first dev I've seen that implemented this "dual" version system for their Patreons. Basically every other dev simply has the lower-Tier supporters wait longer for the latest version, not give them an intermediary version. An unnecessary complication.

Essentially yes.

I have three tiers:

• $2 fan - which is basically newsletter
• $6 member - with 7 day till latest
• $11 patron - with instant access to latest

After this change 'member tier' aside from 7 days to latest get -1 ee version as extra benefit. So they always get something for their $ and get latest in 7 days since release. Rather than get nothing and wait 7 days till latest.

'Fans' and 'patrons' never write to me with issues.
'Member' tier on other hand, half of them write that they though this tier would give them something.

I might be dejure right saying they should wait etc. but defacto they are kind of right, they support me and get essentially nothing until that 7 days wait go away.

Moreover it kind of sucks when someone writes to you that they spent some hard earned money to support and you have to argue against them. I'd rather give those folks something extra rather than to spend time arguing in such way.

And so far it seems to have worked. Members don't write to me with this issue and i don't need to waste hours explaining how member tier works.

 

[perkel666]

Speaking of which, next update 0.7x should be around the weekend. 0.67 then goes public.

The difference being his production rate far surpases those other devs - making another game's "delayed release" tier more or less equivalent to 1 version older here, since he usually comes out with something every few weeks, not every few months as is the norm elsewhere.

That is a solution to a problem that only you seem to have. Membership benefits are clearly outlined for each Tier prior to subscribing, and so far, I haven't seen any other dev complain about how many of their "supporters" are crying foul for not possessing a functional ability to read.
You do you, but this hurts the public release the most, and you are now even more prone to "vengeance" in the form of earlier leaks of 'premium' builds.

 

[Enlight432]

What Enlight432 said, the NTR in this game is only possible if you play the MC as a "dumbass" that is, you have to purposefully piss off & alienate Sylvie for her to get cozy with Henry.

To me, true NTR is about the MC "doing his best", but it just pales in comparison to what other men can offer - and the NTR men cleverly exploit that weakness in your relationship to seduce your gf/wife.

A bit of a shame to see the NTR play out the "dumb" way in this game, but nonetheless, this is one of the higher-quality games I've had the pleasure of playing, so here's to a successful project!

I just hope you give Iris the opportunity to choose Henry over MC, but without making the MC act dense to achieve it.

How is Iris's Netorare path implemented? What is the reason for her sleeping with Henry? is it to take revenge on the MC, out of disappointment with the MC, or for other reasons?

AFAIK, there are no Iris NTR scenes in the current public release version (0.66 at the time of writing). Can't speak for the Patreon-exclusive versions.

If I remember correctly, Henry is not a deceitful or sleazy person. The netorare scenario is most likely either due to Iris's interest in him or a combination of Iris's curiosity and lust

I thought they are same. Do you know which contents/features locked behind it?

 

[gilgamesh9]

Im not interested in the little high school girl and when content starts falling from Sylvia to Iris ill probably stop following the game. I like the contrast of what it was, The Mc and Mistress doing they thing and getting Sylvia and Henry in. Plus the best is honestly Henry slowly corrupting Sylvia. They needed to be comfy with what they are doing before having the daughter join and it will lead to a tag needing to be added soon.

Maybe the developer has a big surprise for us, like Elf did—a major twist or grand scheme from Henry that reveals him to be a truly villainous and ruthless character
The first netorare scene in My Girlfriend Is a Blue-Collar Worker by Elf completely caught me off guard—it made my eyes pop out of their sockets; I absolutely didn’t see it coming

There is no Iris NTR scenes in .67 but the latest build there is kind of one with the MC.

I agree, mature characters are generally better suited for netorare storylines due to significant reasons
However, the way Sylvia's netorare storyline is implemented isn’t the kind I personally admire, but not every game is meant to align with our preferences. Lucky you that it matches your taste!
That’s why I’m more interested in Iris’s netorare path

I can understand that, I love the game as a whole, that's just my bread in butter lol.

That's not Netorare then, at best, it's Netori.

We are looking for distilled Netorare scenes, like Sylvie going off with Henry & Mistress of her own volition.
