VN Ren'Py Isabella - Chasing Shadows [Ch. 4.2] [badtimetales]

Am I the only one who since discovering these games would rather play these instead of watching real porn?
I find real porn to be so dull & passionless but games like this can feel the opposite

Games that focus on character building & romance are awesome
Something real porn can't match imo

nope since playing AVN's I say i look at actual porn way less, but I don't play these with the intention to fap either. As crazy as this might sound I enjoy these games more than alot of AAA games out there because of the character building and connections you can make with them.

Exactly
There are some games I play just for the lewds
But then there are also great games like this that focus on relationships & character development
Which in turn make the sex scenes so much better

Pretty much the same here. When it comes to AVNs I really 'came for the porn but stayed for the stories'

It seems some think Acting Lessons was the heart wrenching AVN they "read". It didn't feel that way to me. Now Leap of Faith had tears streaming down my face playing. It could be I played it at a pretty low point in my life. This story started with MC hitting his low but watching him climb up and out is great. I hope this AVN takes off when it hits steam.

I stopped playing Acting Lessons, but did finish it a while later. That scene certainly surprised me.
And LoF is absolutely one of the AVNs with the best story. And, he ended it when he had told his story.
But this story is in the same league, its always hard to compare, but as anyone who had read any of my posts here must know by now, I'm really enjoying it.
One small thing I'm very grateful for, is that we don't have a best friend who's either decidedly weird or gay (so as not to be a 'threat').

See that's where you are wrong We have to be worried about Zeus who is now our best friend and who may or may not NTR us

Wow! I did not see that. I mean, it's clear badtimetales has a devious plot lined up, but that is evil. NTRed by a pup.

You, however have impressed me with your sound and sagacious reasoning.

I hope he means the girls and Zeus alone ending (um, which doesn't exist until now but makes sense with the lone wanderer).
Because otherwise Zeus will have a snack, as soon as he sees Dessolos

OK, so what does highlighting the heart at the bottom the the screen do to the story?

It adds the scene to the favorite gallery.
I explained it in the 4.1 splash screen when it has been introduced, but removed that hint in 4.2.

I'll clarify that in the 4.3 final.

OK, thanks very much for the quick reply. I would also suggest adding this information on your main page...but with this reply, other players can just do a search to find this post.

I'll add it to the splash screen for new players, together with some other information.

kinda disappointing that isabella is still not fuckable.
the name of the game is "isabella" after all and not "fuck alex again".

 

[Joshy92]

When I'm shopping or doing whatever
I have to make sure I don't think about the girls making love to each other.
Otherwise, I will get a boner
And I can't exactly walk around the shopping centre with a raging hard on

It would be weird and be to quick if she was. It's a story focus game first and slow burn when it comes to Isabella. They are just now getting comfortable with one another as friends. I suspect the romance will start in the next 1-2 updates. After all not all LI need to have lewds quickly especially slow burns. Cause at that point they stop being a slow burn. Especially if the character is suppose to come a across as a somewhat realistic or believable person. It's never a good thing to insert lewd because it's a porn game or whatever reason. As that makes it come across forced more often than not and it should be when it feels right to said dev.

But I did see a few previews that have been posted of her getting a lewd in the the xmas special. Which I think is a nice compromise to add the lewd in a special while waiting till it feels right for the main game.

i agree, it would not fit to the story at the moment but still.
if you buy milk you expect milk and not cocoa. ^^

That's true I suppose, but I can't complain when the cocoa is so hot

I feel for you, but keep in mind that it's not just typical porn game which we play for lewds, it's more about story.

Personally for me it's a game where the main point is "waiting for this moment" - engaging and believable story that keeps you in suspense, feeling a lot of different emotions, character/relation development, a bit of teasing here and there, anticipation for what is gonna happen... I think when we finally sex Isa - for me it will be more like a game over (pinnacle of the whole story) unless there will some super twist in a plot. I mean, I still will be enjoying the story but this feeling of anticipation will be gone.
Also I must say that i wouldn't be in love with Isa if she just jumped MC right away, not my type.
