VN Ren'Py It's Just a Game [v0.5] [DigiDec]

[DigiDec]

My first leaked release! It almost like an accomplishment...

Unfortunately (more for me than you guys), it coincidentally happened with a release that I wasn't planning on making public until it got a few tweaks/additions.

Yeh, in every choice given, I was looking for the "Who cares, none of this is real" option (which is only afforded intermittently).

(Edit: Around the time of the last release, the dev did say that it would be another one or two releases taking place in the sims, so it's not like this is a surprise.)



But on a separate note, it is perhaps worth noting that this is (I believe) the preliminary build of v. 0.5 that went out to supporters a while back, and the public build, likely to see some adjustments, is still to come, so it's probably worth hanging on to a save from the end of the previous version.

Good advice here...

The latest update made me think about the developer's problems. I hope he feels better.

I appreciate that, thank you. But, there's no need to worry about me! Everything is good on my end, development isn't 100% back on track yet but I've set back up and I'm getting back into my grind.

So... what's changing/getting added?

I wasn't satisfied with the ending scene. I originally scripted it as a full "all cards on the table" reveal but it was feeling a little like an exposition dump so I cut it down to the more cliffhangery version. I think I overshot a little. My intention, before the public release, is to have it end in a way that will clear up a lot of the questions/confusion about the current sequence. The cold truth of things is that even though I release (kind of) frequently and I have not designed the game in an 'episodic' format that is kind of that standard by which each release is being judged. I don't want to worry about hitting specific story beats before getting out new content for you guys but it is what it is and if I'm worried that a release is going to end up getting the game negative comments/reviews because it leaves things unanswered then I'm going to hold back releasing it.

Anyways, as I said earlier, I'm getting back into the swing of things and I'm resuming work. And, while I didn't intend for this version to be released, I hope you enjoyed it all the same.

Well ...with what was said, I'll wait until the in-game fog of madness clears up before I check back in..
I do like this game.. the Qai business is beginning to irritate me a little bit... yet I'm hoping to see if MC grabs the reins on this runaway crazyhorse and owns that mutherfucker eventually.. Thank goodness the story (for me) is far from vanilla and dares to get really dirty... I know he kinda has no choice in matters right now (ATM full control outright is gonna come out boring) and going with the flow will get him where he needs to be... Feels like the bitches be controlling him and manipulating his choices though (annoying)..
Again I say I like this one, but the the story content is kinda jarring for me right now..Not unbearable...
Got a pet desire... Really want to see Ness and his little sister get owned...OWNED!!! real proper like... Ahhhh... That will be a sight...

 

[Danv]

skipped few updated for more content, didn't even know what game devolved into complete fucking nonsensical chaos in a meanwhile
i hope it gets resolved quickly and that's not a new direction here to stay till the ending, cuz fuck this garbage then

 

[longjohngold]

The game is high quality no doubt, otherwise well written and an interesting idea... but, this constant schizophrenic jumping around in the sim thing has gotten so damn tiring. Yeah we get what's going on, this shoulda been a much shorter montage, it's just draining at this point and adding nothing to the narrative.

 

[Axelfire]

while I personally am more accepting of the jumping between varius scenes and the like than most, I do concur that it does get a bit too much, but that said I still have full faith in Digidec, to straighten things out and bring about an excellent game, tough i do lament we got such few screen time for thick natalie this update, but oh well there is always next time

 

[OWSam000]

Too much jumping scenes. I am really confused. Is MC just trapped in the simulation or there are simulation and reality crossing?

DigiDec May i know until what version will this Harley Quinn + Road Runner + Speedy Gonzales Hybrid Sim Montage will go on ?

I'll revisit this game once we're there, while i'll praise it being different from the other games in story narrative. You're overdoing the constant sims jumps. I'm not hating the game but seriously, even if we found out why things are like this later on and explain upon with the story. This segment of the story is undoubtedly the most annoying and will probably cause players to drop out without continuing the story even if it be excellent later on. I want to enjoy it but just can't.

Perhaps you can find some way to condense it or make it less annoying/confusing would help.

I mentioned that I want to add in Nat and Sara's sim scene before the public release, those might end up just going in by themselves, they might end up replacing Candi and Hanna's scene, or I might add in one additional side character sim scene as well to help balance things out (probably Julia). But, all in all, 'worst' case, you're looking at three additional scenes added in.

I came real close to adding an option with that Ness gym scene that would've come close to this...

Unfortunately, I have to rein it in sometimes to keep the updates coming and I have to save some ideas for later in the game. I want to work something like that in for Ness pretty soon but with Sara I want to let her get a little more wild before I throw in the 'discipline' scene. Which won't take long because let's be honest, that bitch is fucking crazy. I'm still workshopping it a little but I'm planning on a scene involving both of them (and the MC) that sort of revolves around determining a hierarchy of who gets to dom who. That one probably isn't coming for a few more updates though.

No one really likes the weak bitch Mc so probably best to just have the Mc the one doing the dominating so he can maybe show her he is more in charge etc. while she becomes the more submissive one and settles down.

 

[PickerLewd]

I haven't played anything since the virtual reality part started, but I can say that the sex scene with the masseuse before you enter the virtual world is one of the best I've seen in any game .

5 Stars, 10/10.

 

[AL.d]

Too much jumping scenes. I am really confused. Is MC just trapped in the simulation or there are simulation and reality crossing?

The way I understood it few scenes were in real world, but he is too mindfucked to distinguish that. The random punch on that dude being one.

Sounds like it could be true, but there's no way to really tell. Even if Qai claims to release him to the real world at some point, he'd have little reason to believe it.

 

[asianboi]

loves the model and some of scenes, but as in right now i didnt really get the story
i'll try comeback in a year or two, if this game still around... goodluck

 

[Semak34]

Is the mom okay? Is she on medication? I'm seriously worried about her. #prayforthemom

 

[Fapmaister]

we need a WT for this game. i have no idea which options are the right one

Yes.

Also, yes.

Speaking of Vitamin D: I am looking forward to more Sin D

Since the girlfriend wants MC to be a breeding bull will Mc do all characters or a select few. If so will it include the MC's mom and sister as well other characters like like June, Ness, Stella, Julia, Claudette, Candi and Xiang to be in the bull pen with the MC.

Nat will absolutely push the MC toward any and all breedable women. As far as an oops all preggo situation, the current plan is for the main girls to each have their own possible ending if the player elects to go all in on any of their particular kinks. So, hypothetically there will be an oops all preggo, oops all bimbo, oops all slaves to Sara/MC, oops all Mommy Claudette roleplay, etc, etc, etc...

 

[htkk]

I haven't played the update yet，just want to know how long I have to wait before the public version of 0.5 comes out？
