Ren'Py - Influencing [v0.1.17.3] [Golden Crow]

I really really want to give a better review but there are factors that I simply could not dismiss even at this early stage of the game. Someone else said the art is horrible. I don't agree with that. That said it could stand to be improved but overall it really isn't that bad. I have seen far worse. What I am not impressed by is the girls have unique but similar features. They are wearing basicly 80's style outfits with 70's style underwear (none). Granted there are subtle differences between the women that are nice to see once you get them undressed. (With cheats this is very simple) However once the animations for the sexual acts begin the women lose those unique features as they do not carry over into the animations at all.

There are a ton of the sexual acts listed that are simply listed as not yet implemented. (Why show them yet then?) What is the whole point of the team up feature with another guy? Tried it. All it doe is result in him cockblocking you by being in the room with the girl. Anyone else in the room results in the can we go somewhere private line. There apparently is not a private place at all in the game as that is a big take a hike line. You ain't getting that kitty when you hear it. With cheats married, virgin, in public, wherever she is solo she will will drop her shorts and sex will occur. Once the combination is figured out you will get 5.0/5 ratings on your sexual performance every time. Massive penis size does not limit your success a single bit. LMAO. Hilarious at the size of some of the hubby's when you interrupt them mid sex act. Now I know why so many are willing to cheat after all.

If you are looking for a story, keep looking. There isn't one to be found. At least I never saw one. Also who the hell am I supposed to talk to about a job? No hints or tips to point you to anyone at all. In fact there really aren't any hints or tips at all in this game for ANYTHING to be honest. There are skills. Those can be learned at the university library. But for what? Never use any of them. Making the same stuff with or without them. You can max out your population but at this stage in the game it is really not worth it. You get bored fast as the sex is the exact same with every girl because the animations are all the same. You can just change up your choices. Apparently coming inside the girls makes no difference. Hope to see pregnancy added to it. Once you have slept with all the women and deflowered all the virgin daughters what exactly is left to do? At this point. Nothing!

After 30 minutes of gameplay. I couldn't unlock any kind of sex scene, not even a visual kiss or something.

The game needs a quest log that guides you on how to play.

The reason I'm giving it such a low score is because I have a gut feeling the game is really good, but I'm so frustrated because I can't access any of its content.

I tried using the cheats, but none of the women will have sex with you, even if you have max love and you take them into your bedroom.

I literally cheated, maxed out everything, took the woman into the bedroom, asked her for sex, and she refuses, LOL.

Limited content but very impressed with the dynamic NPC generation as well as the modular character creation.

Now there isn't much sex or scenes available for the game, understandably. But, it shows PROMISE.

Will keep an eye out for this one.

open world games are always my favourite, so this game started 1-0 ahead for me. Another important factor is that it has its own cheat menu, there are a few other small factors, adjusting the gender and number of people in the city, etc. I hope it comes with updates in realistic details such as pregnancy and hair in the genital area.

It's got promise. It really needs audio and more/better animations. Only a few poses seem to be animated, and for the most part they are just soft fades between two or three images. It is cool to see the random body generation though, and see that populate in the animated scenes.

The gamplay is also sort of complex and empty at the same time. There are a lot of mechanics that I'm not sure what the significance of them is. It seems like the goal is to just fuck around. If so, why do I have hunger and energy and health and etc stats. You can learn stuff at schools but it really does not effect gameplay. Etc. Honestly, I'm not sure that I want them to effect gameplay, could grow into a ballache fast.

Really could do with some story or scenarios too. Ex: You meet your friend's wife in-game and there is specific dialog about it, or your wife's sister moves in and there is specific dialog. Sort of like that other game... LifePlay? I think? But then, maybe thats a bad idea because LifePlay will always be better than this due to 3D and fluid animation... but I really can't think of any other way to improve.

Could be a 4 star one day, I doubt it ever gets a 5 from me.

This game is unique to my knowledge:
It allows you to play for hours without getting bored because
you can change partner and even MC at any time.
Each partner has his own personality, which will determine the time and the manner of corrupting them.
As for the aspects concerning the drawings, the animations, it is still quite basic, but the game is only in its beginnings.

Ive played this both normal and *help* way. has great potential! alot of options and minor sandbox side story's can be made! really great!
-
Character wise for a test it's great, better made from the old versions. i guess more interaction. guess its item interactives left waiting ... or a to do list and time limit.

The English is the worst, the game is boring and very monotonous, and it seems that the game is made by some sort of person without any understanding of human interaction whatsoever. I really do not encourage anyone to play this game, and I have no idea, how this game is rated almost 4 stars at the moment.

Game is in early stages, and, despite ocasional bugs and primitive character art, feels pretty fun to play, and, i think, heavily inspired by sims.
There are avoidable gay and (i suppose) ntr options, and a lot of others that are not mentioned in F95 game tags and genre.
Important things about game:
1.Character creation is nice, similiar to different games of this genre. Majority of characters in game look kinda wierd because of some disproportionate facial features (lips are often too big imo, and noses are pretty wierd).
Things to improve in character creation:
-Characters lack different body types.
-Characters lack pubic hair
-Character age doesn't change anything.
-Some ugly facial features here and there.
-It would be cool if you could change clothes.
-It would be also cool if you could change your favotite topics or sexual preferences in the beginning
Other than that it's pretty nice and somewhat flexible, you can choose male or female;Your dick (if you're male) can be between 2 to 30 cm in length and 1 to 27 in girth, you can choose different breast sizes (if you're female) and it's all shown, which is cool.
2. Character interactions with player have enormous potential, and, despite being in early stages, have a lot of options. Like in sims, you can ask them about work, partner, age, etc. You can also ask about theis sexual preferences (though option is bugged and doesn't show anything), you can ask which dick size is perfect for them(if female) ore which size is npc`s cock (if male). You can also discuss different sex poses.
Things to improve in npc interactions:
- You can't have foes at this stage (0.1) of game, there are simply no direct rude options in dialogue. All npc are happy to meet you, and their personality doesn't affect their interactions(Even if character is supposed to be rough, swear, etc he doesn't)
- Despite name of the game, i don't think that you can make npc interact with eachother. In fact, i haven't seen characters interact at all. They can be married ( if they are 40+ in most cases) but that's all type of relations that i've seen in this game. Npcs are either virgin and haven't kiss anyone in their entire life or are married. It would be cool if there at least be more couples or friends in game, etc.
- It would be cool if npc were more active in story (Like if you have a gf(i actually haven't figured how to get one) she would live with you and activate some simple interactions with her; Or if she is unfaithfull she could fuck with your friend who is more sexually compatible with her than you;Or if you could have a foe he could wait for you near your home and try to fight with you etc.)
-Characther relations are very easy to improve with all characters. Maybe it could be improved by adding some events that are based of character traits and levels of friendship or love that would develop your relations further.( for example to have gf you need to date with her, but if she has some "open-minded" trait she could have sex with you on the first meeting etc). It's not innovative and pretty cliche(like many suggestions in this review), but it's still a way to improve and complicate gameplay, it's important not to make it grindy, though.
3. Character traits could also be more influencive on gameplay. At this point of game you have various topics that you can discuss, it's not clear how you can improve in majority of them though. If sports and videogames are somewhat understandable, i don't understand how you can improve news for example. It would be cool if this system was reworked to function more like skills and affect gameplay for. For example, cool skill could help you to cook different foods that would improve your relations with npc, sport would help you in fights etc.
4. Map is in early stages of development, some areas are not accessible, but the main thing that map lacks imo is logical npc locations. This part of gamefeels pretty random and not based on individual npc, it's rather based on some general npc scedule.
-It would be cool if there were some events around the map (maybe like parties where npcs would interact with eachother and player in appropriate way).


I give this game 5 stars because it's a very good start, though there are a lot of things that developer needs to improve in future versions.

Sorry for bad English, it's not my native language.

Lmao to the people actually rating this 5 stars. Sure, it's in its earliest stages, but good lord, the art is... less than stellar to put it politely. Suffers the same disease as many porn games, where the author is ambitious, but the work doesn't hold up. Does it have potential? Yes, but so does a thousand other porn games that didn't go anywhere.

It might just be my opinion since 18+ text-based games do exist, but visuals are extremely important when creating a porn game. And this is not a good example. I cannot in good conscience leave a good review, because I don't want people to play this under false pretense. It has the potential to be something better, but until it does, this 1 star stays.

Its at a decent spot right now but once it develops more and the art style also improves then without a doubt it'll be a 4/5 star. However there isn't possible ways to have a certain character cheat on their significant other which is something that people do enjoy doing. I am one of those people myself, and like I said before once it develops it'll surely be a 4/5 star and when it does I'll change my rating for it when the time comes.

A real sandbox game with random char generation which is a refreshing take.

Lots of work still needs to be done, dialogue, art, mechanics etc.

Would be nice if the pov of the riding animation was the other way around so you can fully appreciate females with big breast.
