Ren'Py Independent Horizons [v0.3.1] [SwampyStudio]

[TomUK]

OK, I've only just started playing this game and something is bugging me already, the MC gets dropped on someone doorstep when he was 3 months old, the husband and wife adopt him, he's now 20 years old and he doesn't call the wife, mom, she's been his mother for his whole life basically, the he calls the girl his 'childhood friend' when she's basically his sister. Incest isn't tagged, so what was the problem with them being called mom and sister?

I wasn't actually asking for an incest tag, I was trying to point out there was no incest as the 'mom' and 'sister' weren't related, only by adoption, so there shouldn't be a problem with Patreon rules.
I did noticed a bit later the MC sort of does refer to his adoptive parent as his mom and his childhood friend as more like a little sister, but that was only in his thoughts, not a dialogue with someone else.

That 3rd link, does that patch actually work properly?

Thanks a lot for calmly reporting the error! Did you happen to load a save file from version 0.2.0? Also, when the phone vibrated for a new contact, did you check it? I’m trying to understand exactly what happened or what steps might have caused these errors to pop up

If people just say, 'The game has too many bugs,' without specifics, it makes it tough for me to fix things. That’s why I really appreciate your help with the details. I’ve tried everything on my end, but I haven’t been able to replicate the same error you’re seeing.

Right now, the only issues I’ve found are in the replay gallery (on android) and the lyrics video on the main menu, where the screen goes black after the music finishes.

Third time is the charm.
Another complete fresh install, cutting back on the scrolling at the right times then it worked.
I would suggest that the scrolling is halted at those times instead of the text looping since when it looped then the problem came up again.

Still enjoying the game so far. However the entire ending scene raises red flags. I get story build up but if I am going to see a mouthful of jizz the MC needs to be the donor, story plot building or not.
(I looked in the genre section at the tags, Don't seem like much will be happening) (Also the little disappearing ninja in the library- WTF) Quite interested to see if things stay moving positively forward or fall off the rails.

"The main character of this game is a 20-year-old boy named Tom."
"...she eventually realizes that Tom is an adult teenager..."

So which is it? Is he 20 or a teenager?

Probably had to put 20 because of the sites like Patreon.

Is this a horror game or not because the driver looks like a skinny version of Uncle Fester lol.

Stumbled across a bug in the free roam in the new episode. When you are supposed to go to your dorm if instead of clicking your door you hit the down arrow one more time it takes you outside to the scene where you first found Mama's Coffee shop in the previous episode...

 

[Woodstock_1983]

I know it's hard to do but, I think it would be more enjoyable when you call someone, you hear a real voice instead of just reading the text. I left the screen at the beginning when the MC had to call the landlord about what room he was assigned lol. I was waiting for someone to really pick up and start talking lol.

So far i want to be with most of the females. I hope they end up having a harem theme where I can sleep with more than one female.

 

[Woodstock_1983]

Now I'm confused. I thought he was supposed to get it OUT of the trunk not INTO the trunk?

 

[Woodstock_1983]

I wish even though you put the correct pass code, it still shows the MC playing the video game, playing the guitar or anything else you can skip. I'm not good with coordination that's why I skip them but I would still like to see him playing.

Yeah, what are the passcodes

 

[Woodstock_1983]

the first one is ironman for the video game and rustyfingers for the guitar.

Hmmmm, I'll check that. I encountered that before, and I thought I had already fixed it.

Okay, thanks. I'm working on it. You will see the cum in her mouth if you watch her through the hole, but if you don't and leave immediately, you won't see that cum in her mouth. That's the thing I can do for that scene. Or maybe before that scene, you will ask if you want to zoom out or not. I just thought it was okay since these women are not the main characters of the game.

That's actually possible in the future, but not right now. Or maybe we'll see in few more updates...

Sometimes, proofreading is still needed. Anyways, thanks for posting it. I will fix that

 

[Woodstock_1983]

Are there any other games from this Dev?

Using past tense for a flashback is fine, but after the flashback is over you should always stick to present tense. Switching back and forth during the same scene is terrible writing. The only thing worse than an entirely past-tense VN is inconsistent tense.

Also, please cut back on the narration. The VN is a visual medium, you shouldn't overexplain what the pictures explain clearly.
