VN Ren'Py Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.65] [stoperArt]

Girls are hot and renders are amazing. Sex already in first release is a welcome change. One of the few games with sound effects. Not too sure about the different POVs though. I kinda just want one setting to see all CGIs. Loving the fact that choices seem to matter but worry that too many branching storylines will cause slow updates. Overall probably the best new game.

Walkthrough plox!

...Not too sure about the different POVs though. I kinda just want one setting to see all CGIs.

I was considering a way to indicate when an image has an alternative angle(s). Like a small icon that shows up on the screen and when you click on it you see the alternative image. For people like you who don't want to miss on anything. I'll see if I can make it happen for the upcoming update.
And thanks for the kind words.

@Ballistic Swami , I'll make one when the game actually starts branching. Because now there is no hidden or missable content. And just saying what impact the current choices will have in the future, would spoil the game.

Thanks a lot for informing

btw, the main couple are engaged right? There's that one line at the very start, but i don't think it's ever mentioned again, and they don't wear rings.

Yes, my plan is to have those 2 base paths. One where she's cheating on Conner. And one where they do some kinky stuff together.
My initial idea was to have a third path, where they have a simple vanilla relationship. Like in that last scene, where she can tell him about the hobo, or not, I had a third choice in mind - "tell him and go home", where they can finish the job in private. But I'm not sure it's worth the efforts, really. Most (if not all) people play for the kinky stuff. And the way my game is structured, every little branch and alternative scene would requite plenty of rendering.
I'm still considering it though.

Or maybe tell him to go home she remembers some stuff she has to done & then get laid with old hobo or Mr.parker.

I just played through this for the first time. Bravo! I'm definitely looking forward to more.

No, they are not. It's a line left from the first draft. The one in the bathroom, where she thinks about having sex with him the night before, right?
I removed it now.

@Jack_Sparrow_Pirate , now that would've been a bold first release.

Pretty sure that's the one. "he kissed me like we were dating again instead of engaged". I wondered if something like that was up since is seemed so out if place otherwise.

But given that, if it's not too spoilery to say, any plans to have them get engaged? Watching their relationship happily progress at the same time as her slutty naughtiness does sounds like it could be a lot of fun to watch. :coldsweat::coldsweat::coldsweat:

 

[stoper]

@versatile , that's the idea. I had them engaged in the first draft, but then I thought it would be cute if it happens during the game.

 

[Deleted member 563623]

@stoper Looking forward to it! should be a lot of fun.

And thanks for answering all these questions all the time.

 

[Eye-switcher]

Really good start, looking forward to the update

I ended up looking at the script to see when alternate images were used, and switching perspective to see them all. I'd like the icon idea.

 

[Guygee]

Huge thanks stoper, this is a fantastic start. Potential to be the very best VN of the genre yet, imho. Please keep with it - I know I will!

FWIW I'd be more than happy with two top-quality branches rather than a sketchier three. A faithful and a perverted. What better???

Cheers, and here's to the future! (virtual drink sent) :extremelyhappy:

 

[bebiho]

damn this is my new fav game, this game will be a a success in a couple of months

 

[hax]

very nice

That does not look like a 25 year old woman.

First impressions:

• Great renders
• Characters don't seem to emote much or talk - they look like they're just having staring contests
• First scene in the shower, the mc looks a lot like the mother from A Wife & Mother

I agree she doesn't look 25, but it's actually the opposite of most games of this nature. She looks more like 35, whereas usually, I expect 25-year-olds in these games to look 16. Not because I think they "should" look 16, but because game creators have a habit of making characters that look 12 but are "definitely" 18 *wink* *wink*.

 

[Deleted member 563623]

I feel like in almost all the renders she fits 25 perfectly fine. Even right here

Spoiler

with the frumpy morning updo she could be like 20.

But those glasses she wears and sometimes her hairstyles and attire in general do give her a more mature look. It's still a real good look tho, and it fits her personality perfectly imo.

 

[Dilettante]

She looks like a milf in her evening dresses, black one in game and red one on patreon picture. Glasses, hairstyle, overall face. That's pretty much all for me. Someone would be okay with this, some not. But i actually dislike many "teen" looking models devs usually use on women pretty much any age. 25 years old woman who sometimes looks a bit older is a welcome change. For milf fan like me even better.

Such a pleasant discover.

The art is beautiful, the story is very interesting and very well written.
The main character is not a dumb blondy, just a mature women acknowledging and assuming her sexuality, and this simple fact is a major plus to my eyes.
By avoiding the so often used cliché of the young girl suddenly hypnotized by every dicks she encounters, this makes an intelligent story, driving not only by visuals but by a clever written script.

Very well done job here and looking forward to see the next chapters.
