VN Ren'Py Completed Katie's Corruption [v1.19] [3diddly]

[gurth]

Is it possible for a modder to take this game and continue it/finish it their own way? I dunno the legality of it.

I wonder the same thing. and as i've seen here there are some people who are more than capable to do it.

About Katie wanting to have a baby; Good, smart girls can make bad decisions, especially when they get used to a shiny, rich lifestyle. In real life too, i saw a successful woman quit her job and marry to an older, rich man. This things happen. And that was not so sudden, Katie had a lot of sex with Orlov at that point of the story, she saw he is rich and powerful, she went to Vegas, she saw the shiny lifestyle. I know that is sad but that is life.

I think most of the problems with the end of the story both at Hannah and Katie comes from 3Diddly getting bored. When that happens, a good writer close the story but unfortunately, at patreon, these stories tend to drag more and more. If you end your story, people who pays you money accuse you of suddenly cutting it. (like what happened at Road Trip.)

As Thickgravy's two renders show, it would have been rather easy to end up the story if the dev wouldn't have been so obsessed by making his girls pregnant. The shortest - and rather plausible - way would have been when Katie fucks, or is fucked, by Wright in their kitchen. Brian catches them and with no further word he's gone the next morning. Katie goes to the office but Wright has disappeared (Brandon gang or Orlov's men). The dean tells her that she's no longer admitted to any university and when she tries to seduce him again, he tells her a camera had recorded it. Her father calls and tells her he's returned to her mom. Well, what can a poor girl do? A scenario like this wouldn't have been more work than what 3diddly presented up to now. This had left him the possibility to make a few endings or simply stop at this point and leave the end open. Also, this would have given him the chance to close down his patreon and to continue with his '3diddly' universe' whenever he had sorted out his personal problems.
I didn't want to say that a female isn't impressed by an easy life of luxury and therefore marries a rich, much older man. However, it's extremely dumb to think that getting a baby from this man would have helped her to achieve her goal. Especially a man like Wright would have known why Katie wanted to get pregnant and the price would be he would use her just as an object -or a slave as one might call it - later. At least on the manipulation path Katie knows about Write's connection to crime and she also sees how he is treating Vera. However, Vera is just another easygoing slut while Katie is an intelligent medical student.

Any guess to why I didn't get to go out with Hannah and Vera?! I made a new playthrough following the corruption path
but no Drugged Rape scene I know the game has ended but I'd like to know what I did wrong, because my playthrough ends after Katie got home from Brandon's place agreeing to let him impregnate her.

Worked fine here. Maybe Katie hasn't got enough drug points when you played it. Anyway, I'd install osmcuser's mod, this should help.

What programs are you using if I may ask?

damn i'm late, i was about to ask the same question, mind if i ask you too?

Here goes; First Forum Post.

I'm wondering about the corruption counter in the top right of the game. I dont understand it. Do I want it to be positive or negative for corruption? I tried selection different options at different times but still can't figure how it works. Also the walk through listed on the 1 page just links to a zip file with a text file in it. The text file doesn't make any sense to me at all. It doesn't seem like it is a walk through.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

[Ignatz]

All numbers should be read as positive. If you want to gain bad points, you want them as positive numbers. Natural logic flows from there - higher numbers mean more influence in that direction.

 

[marhen]

Why It's abandoned. It was soo good... ;( I WANT MORE!

Have you guys considered that this forum/thread contributed that the author got tired of developing the game. He frequent(ed) here. So I wonder...
Constructive criticism is fine, but too much complains of the kind "the author didn't deliver per my expectation" just does not help one's motivation. ensive:

Well, there has been an objective reduction of content per update over months. Also the dev announced he will reduced the number of updates per month. He explained it's due to his job which is for me totally understandable. But paying the same amount for less updates with less content and the rightful complains about that made the author quit the game? There wouldn't have been a problem for the author to change the patreon charging to 'per update'. Save the minor content updates and release a big one then every six weeks, two months or simply when it's done and charge then? Don't confuse reason and effect, imho.

Yeah, the dev got bored of his game for what reason ever. I haven't seen him here for a long time after he had commented regularly before. Indeed, harsh criticism really is annoying especially when it comes without a reason, however his followers had good reasons to express their disappointment with the dev slowing down and clearly loosing his enthusiasm long before. Maybe he recovers and will be able to continue with Katie's and even with his '3diddly universe'.

To be fair, the criticism was there already before he slowed down.

There was the dad scene right around the Patreon crackdown started that contained the word step-father in almost every sentence. It was like he was mad when he wrote the scene but the only victims were his patrons. And then the Dean scenes, the cocaine bugs and then he slowed down and made no sense impregnation scenes.

IMO it is like his comic, he has a good idea and good start but can't write a decent ending and has a strange twist somewhere after the middle

You do good work, Mister!

This is what I would have wanted as (one possible) ending of the manipulation road. On the corruption path Katie is shown as voluntarily cheating and wanting to become mean and slutty which meant she'd be 'going down the rabbit hole' sooner or later (Katie ending up as streetwalker/stripper). Not so on the manipulation path. Either she's coerced into sexual acts or hesitatingly plays along trying to avoid bad consequences. In the end she might act kind of inhibited and adventurous but not totally having lost her moral compass. For me it seems to be only logical, she didn't become Wright's fucktoy but rather a golddigger. At least she seems to be happy in the situation depicted, whoever her male companion may be now. Thanks for that nice renders.

 

[Teasm]

Approx 8 months ago I was discussing KC with another member, & I said I hoped we got the chance for her to win her fight against Wright & all those exploiting her.
His reply was that he wanted to see Katie get degraded & abused to the fullest extent possible.
How do you feel about it? And could you please explain your reasoning?
Yeah, I know 3diddly has stopped adding content, but, go on...indulge me.

It would be nice to have a option or series of chances to redemption or something, but the writing need to be good to have it make sense and not a whiplash feel.
Personally I wish the writing was better, a little more paced out to develop Kate and the core characters, and choices of which of the antagonists we can choose who she falls completely for and how it ends.

 

[Ignatz]

There seemed to be a point where 3Diddly either got confused or bored with multiple paths and started basically making it a no-option route. Even though the choices were there, if you tried to isolate Katie with, say, just Mr. Wright, you eventually rejected everyone but Brian.

If you wanted the additional sex scenes, you had to take on Brandon and Jacob, too. When I compare it to the intricate weaving in GGGB, this left me wishing 3Diddly had kept his original enthusiasm.

So, I would have liked to see:
- A revenge path. Not really redemption, as Katie would like her more sexually expanded tastes, but would be able to "take out" the abuser-types (Brandon, Wright, etc.)

- A pervy path. All old guys. She keeps up with Dad, Wright, the Dean and any newer old guy.

- A lesbian path. Disgusted and disillusioned by men who use her, she just goes with Hannah, Vera and Candy.

- An incest path. We've already got Dad. How about Mom, too?

Brian bored me. Perhaps he was written that way purposely, to get players to send out Katie more. It seems the same way in GGGB with Eric. Makes sense, from a game standpoint. If the boyfriend is really a perfect fit, why experiment?

There were several things from the beginning that turned out bad the more the story progressed:
The point system - there were not enough points to count 'good' or 'bad' decisions unless he'd gone negative, so the dev had to keep Katie on the path you decided for her without having a chance to let her turn back or even switch paths.
Starting with two seperate directions right from the beginning - it was quite easy to guess what choice to make to stay on one of the paths. And, like in many games, 'yes' would be followed by a sex scene, 'no' by nothing.
The lack of ideas for the 'good' path - this stopped rather early.
The dev strongly underestimated the effort and time it would take to make a multiple path story. Weekly updates had to result in complaints about minimal content and disappointment by the patrons.
Some additional remarks: Maybe the dev hoped he could make a living with his patreon income and work fulltime on Katie's. The critical point was never reached.
Same thing was about the dev couldn't hire someone to do the proper coding.
Patreon's rule changes which didn't allow incest, blackmail or raping.
Maybe there's more.
As for Brian: He could have been a more interesting character. It would have been possible to let him cheat with Vera, join Katie in a threesome, really turn out to be dealing with drugs or something like that.
All the above isn't meant as an offense but simply to find an answer to why this game has gone wrong. If there should be anyone around here who is willing and able to continue Katie's I'd like to see some of the endings you suggest. Continuation should rather be kind of comic because Katie is stuck on her path anyway, no need for choices anymore. Btw: who is Silver?

Heh. Slip of the keyboard. Another pervy old boss from another game. I've edited the original correctly.

Obsessed much?
I wondered when I read it, but when I went to look I had deleted KC, so guessed it was just a coincidence.

I really admire your superb knowledge of those indie games.
