VN Ren'Py It's Just a Game [v0.4.1] [DigiDec]

[RandomGuy99]

At the beginning of 0.3 did you have the little chat with Izzi or did you tell her to fuck off? If you had the chat, she mentions some things that might fill in some of the missing puzzle pieces.

I will look at making a gallery for the game. I intend to get it up on Steam at some point and I think some QoL improvements like that will make the game seem more like a professional product instead of a clusterfuck of nonsense slapped hastily together by a complete amateur.

Yes, i've checked all 3 options. Izzi did mentioned she change the definition of what a game is to Qai and mentioned she was somewhat in control. I'm assuming Qai now consider real life a game as well and forcefully push MC into a simulation but what does it have to do with my statement? I was stating the color tint was not that obvious since we are jumping between multiple scenes. We not sure if all of them is MC's simulation or some scene was "an off MC character scene" of real life since there is no color tint comparison in some of them. Also MC is hearing the comments from the doctor which makes it a bit confusing.

I was wondering if Qai will every do an Agent Smith? AI take over one of the real life character?
I'm assuming Izzi's changes to the code and Qai perception somehow made her corrupt the LIs much faster and indirectly clashing with MC's wishes

A thing to note is that right after MC gets the new implant and they connect it to the network I made a point of changing the coloring and even drew your attention to it by having the MC comment on it. So, you won't really be able to use that to distinguish between sim and reality, unless I work in some stuff where maybe the implant glitches off momentarily or I do a couple camera shots showing what things would look like from the perspective of someone without an implant. Not that those are techniques I plan on using or anything...

Okay so the goal is have the MC stuck in simulation perceptually or making MC confuse between reality and simulation ?
I mean you can make the MC be confuse without us players be confuse right ?

Not sure the direction for this. Just make sure it's obvious to players since now no body knows what is off screen reality or just crazy simulation stuff. Otherwise, you be getting a lot of stupid questions like what i am asking now. In terms of story telling, you can have certain scenes where you want the players to wonder whether MC/characters is an unreliable narrator but never make it that the player feel if they are an unreliable reader/viewer.

 

[SASHAKAMEN]

wow just wow. One of the most promising games on this site i ever seen. first time i see dom male mc being one who gets currupted in such unique way. and of course it has my favorite kinks in one game. Really appreciate your work Mr.DigiDec

Edit - I'll answer the question again if anyone asks but I'm removing the answer to save you all from temptation.

Possible bug.
To get the kn1 scene, you need to follow a really specific path, because you get 4 variables above 'jump kn1' that skips kn1 and leads you directly to cof2.. and cof2 is ALSO the fallback 'else' option if all the variables are somehow 0.

This isn't a bug (I think). To get that scene you have to avoid hooking up with anyone before the scene where Nat gets freaky with you on the couch, but also play along with Nat when she gets freaky with you on the couch. So the if-else there is first checking to see if you hooked up with anyone else, if you did we go to coffee with Sara, then I check to see if you played along with Nat on the couch, if you did we go to massage scene, if not we go to coffee with Sara. I tried running through it every way I could to make sure it worked the way I wanted but I might have missed something, so let me know if you feel like you should've gotten the massage scene but you didn't.

Ahh ok. Specific path it is then. I though perhaps the 'jump kn1' bit was supposed to be at the top, or maybe all the 'jump cof2' were supposed to be 'jump kn1' or something.

I kind of cheated and got the kn1 scene anyway, but there's no way I'd get it on a legit playthough .

No worries, I said before you are all welcome to enjoy the game on your own terms. I just felt bad that the players who were staying loyal to Nat missed out on some sexy times so I wanted to make it up to them a little.

Okay, got some feedback on Discord that suggested I should push things a little further with simbo Mol. Same as before - from left to right - real, upcoming real, sim.

Bimbo Mol fans be like

Also reading the dev notes mc Will get lesbian cucked. Why NTR is not on the game tags who fucking knows

So, we're not going to get into a debate regarding tags because that's against the site's rules and I am also so very tired of it but I will clarify my philosophy here.

Any sexual activity between characters other than the MC will be happening only if the MC has okayed it in some way, or if there is no reasonable expectation that the MC would have/feel some type of claim over the specific woman. The stuff with Zoe is a good example, maybe you as a player really like her, want to see more of her, wish she'd become something like a girlfriend to the MC, but if you hooked up with a random girl at a club before even learning her name and then you get jealous about the fact that she's already in an ongoing sexual relationship with another woman - you didn't get cucked and that's not NTR.

I know we all have different specific definitions so I can't tell any of you if everything I put in this game will meet your approval.

 

[Axelfire]

I for one fully approve the new sim version.

 

[DigiDec]

he still has loyal Natalie, who wants her bull to dominate every girl and make them his sluts..

but in some avns on this site i played, mc sometimes really get cucked, when girls have lesbian fun, mc want to join and they reject him and he is forced to leave or watch and jerk off. Fortunately shit like this is rare

Yeah, I'm not planning on anything like that scenario. Closest we might come to that would be some girls kind of teasing the MC by making him watch at first but it would end with the MC joining in. That's a hypothetical, I don't have anything specific like this planned out but I could sort of see it work for a few of the characters. Like maybe Mol and Candi, Izzi and Zoe, or Ness and whichever girl she gets her hands on.

I do like the underwear the mc wear during the nat spanking and wonder will the mc wear so more of that.

I kind of imagine Nat throwing out all of his other boxers and not really leaving him a choice in the matter.

Trust me, I've wanted to change his suit for a while now but it hasn't been until maybe the last week or two that there were any other options even available.
