VN Ren'Py Completed Leap of Faith [Ch. 8 v1.0.3] [DriftyGames]

[Rinbael]

You know how F95zone is tho, everyone is like "GIVE ME HAREMS, GIVE ME THREESOMES, GIVE ME THROUPLES, WE WANT IT ALL!!!!!".

True. I think that also applies to Drifty's patrons. I don't know what the options were but it's a no brainer that threesome content would be the winning choice over anything else if people are given the option to vote for it, even if it hurts the story.

I'm sure if he polled it, asking his patreons if they wanted the game to have a harem ending it would probably win by a massive margin.

 

[MrFriendly]

Yeah. I didn't want him to think I was being a dick but I really don't think patrons should decide things like that and it should be solely up to Drifty if that kind of content is in the game or not. It ruins the already established personalities of some of the characters especially Cece in my opinion.

Don't worry, I'll be the designated asshole who points it out.

The fact there was a scene in the last update where all the women, individually, contemplate whether James is interested in them... I just don't see a lot of them deciding in the beginning of a new relationship to have a threesome. Kira and Robin makes sense but not the rest.

Which is why I am so tired of Harems, threesomes, and throuples. I want devs to tell the stories they want to tell and make the games as believable as they can. I'm not here just for sex romps and fuck fests.

I'm fine with harems, threesomes, throuples, w/e as long as its done right, like Kira/Robin, something we've been building up to and not forced, like whats happening now.

I could kind of see Linda being fine with threesomes and maybe Holly but that's it in my opinion. I know we haven't seen Lexi's thoughts on it but I don't see her being interested either.

As I think we've discussed before I agree if they are like Kira/Robin or the throuple in Reunion (I stopped playing that game but not because of the throuple). I dislike the "surprise" threesomes where it is completely out of character. Overall I dislike harem games because they are just fuck fests, there are exceptions but they are rare.

Sorry if I missed it, but what characters (except Kira/Robin) will participate in the threesome(s)? I think it's a bad idea for all of them, but Cece would probably be the worst decision. I really hope she doesn't take part in it.
In addition to that, and maybe this is just me and doesn't bother anyone else, I hope Drifty doesn't make the "optional" choice happen during a dialogue and instead breaks the fourth wall and asks if the player wants to see it. Because if it is a regular dialogue, with one of the girls proposing it, even if the player turns it down the fact still stands that she was totally fine with it and it severely alters that girl's personality, in my opinion.
For example, a Cece that never even talked to the MC about having a threesome (and if she never talked about it, we can assume she never really thought about it) is different from a Cece that was up to it and just didn't do it because the MC turned it down.
I think that breaking the fourth wall and asking the player directly, while not ideal, is the lesser evil. The better decision would be, of course, not letting patrons decide the content of your game. It just about never works out well.

Drifty's patrons can vote for either Cece and Linda, Steph and Linda or Lexi and Holly for possible threesomes.

To be blunt, if you think Drifty is doing it because he's aiming for a cash grab....I don't think you could be more wrong. I think he's doing it because he thinks it will be fun, and I doubt he'd do it at all if he thought the characters themselves might not be curious about trying something like that out. Cece already reacted to Kira's kiss in a non-horrified way. Maybe she has become curious about testing her own boundaries a bit. And all three pairings feature the girls who are closest to each other. So if they're going to try it with anyone, it would be them.

That said, I'm also glad it's optional. I like more traditional monogamous relationships when things get serious. Harem games are seldom of interest to me because they often lack any emotional heft.

I wouldn't say it's a cash grab. I think Drifty is just a beginner developer and wants to make his paying customers, the ones who make the game possible, have some kind of influence in the game's development and please them. That's definitely not a bad sentiment. It's just that, from what I've seen, it hardly ever worked in a game's favor.

 

[DriftyGames]

I do appreciate the level of engagement in this community. I don't need to go more than a few months back where some decided to quit the game because of Stephs explanation. Some even said they wanted to punch the monitor because they were set on leaving her behind but felt guilty after the scene and hated me for it. So decisions I do will step on peoples toes no matter what I do.

The tier reward to be able to choose a lewd scene has been there since I set up the Patreon account. Thinking this is something I do as a quick cash reward is unfair. LoF is by no means a financial success. If I were to go in that direction, I would abandon the story and make a new one with 10 freckled girls with different hair colors, or where you meet random girls that all want to fuck you on some table after 10 minutes and they love your 10 foot pole and wants you to call them their slut.

However, the support I've been gaining through Patreon has very much helped me make a better story with more choice in the settings than I would have had without it. And you might not believe me, but every dollar earned is poured back into the game. To be able to finally throw in this tier reward is for me very satisfying, and I've done my best to write the best possible scene(s) for them. That is also why the choices is rather limited. And they will also be hidden behind actions that would suggest that you actively tried to persuit that path.

Ea. If you're on a single girl path, you will have the normal "red and can't click" menu option.

Drifty,curious about one tiny thing:at the "end" of the current release,there is a missed opportunity with Cece(and I have experimented a bit with the choices and still havent found the "game changer").Is this something not yet implemented or am I missing something obvious?
ps-Choices:
-Thought about her during no sleep scene.
-Did not deny her at the pool scene.
-"Gave" her coffee.
-Focused only on her during pool scene.
-Made a deal with Kevin about getting Night Dawg involved.
And most of everything else.

That is a bug unfortunately. I did not push for an update due to you having to replay the Chapter for the two last parts. Sorry about that! The Cece endscreen itself do however display the correct information.

Hopefully this time we'll catch all these bugs.

Dunno who it was, give me a name and I will hunt him down, how can someone not like what you did with Steph?
I know a few that hated her and after what you wrote they all changed their minds about Steph and now are in love with her.
I said it a long time ago, even my theory did come close to the real thing and I'm glad many are eating the words they said about her now in silence.

MrFriendly clearly one of them haha

ps: Steph virus released

Eh, don't love her just don't feel like it is worth the energy to hate a fictional character in a porn game (no matter how good the game is). My energy levels suck at the best of times and this is not the best of times. Need to stop wasting energy on trivial things (in comparison to my family, etc). I felt that the explanation given worked for Drifty's world, not for an actual real world explanation. But I can see why someone who is obviously still hung up on someone would accept it and try to move on with them. Just am glad we got the explanation and the story can move forward without that baggage. I'm now more worried about the fact that this story will only have 8 updates and we are more than half way through.
