Ren'Py Let's Split Up Gang [v2] [Hentaku Studios]

[NTR Critic]

i like the game, but what i dont like is the useles grinding

I feel you there, as I am normally a hater of that as well in games. I'm going to try to reduce the amount of repetition without new content, but figured it was fine for this first release just to see how people feel about the main concept. Plus this is the first actual game I've made, so still trying to figure out balancing and the like.

so, in the current build, the only real way to get snacks at an efficient rate is to have Daphnie do things for Shaggy (bar the random snacks you can find here or there) this is fine for the mid to late game, but it is a little narratively jarring early on when she's hesitant to even take her cloths off for Fred but will do it happily for 10 snacks. I just think there should maybe be another route to gain snacks for the early game to smooth that out a little.

Additionally, the cost of things vs. how much you get for the actions means you are currently repeating the same scene several times, though this will obviously be lessened with more content, but at present, it's a little grindy.

Again, it's a solid start. just my 2 cents; I'm sure you've got your plans and I look forward to see where you take this

Yeah, all solid points. To even have the "sex" menu come up for shaggy, you have to have corruption above 10, but I should probably include some lesser stuff to allow for more tame stuff before the stripping.

So how do you dress up Velma?

So how do you dress up Velma?

Right now she only has one outfit, and no menu, so the way currently to do it is to own the outfit and dress up Daphne in the matching one. (Starfire + Raven) then she starts wearing the outfit too.

This has already been changed in the next version as I gave Velma her own menu so that Red You can tell her what to wear directly.

It was all set to work out, but nooope, the dev just had to think making a game with a chick as the main character would make everyone happy, As if the majority of porn game players are women out here dying to feel "represented" while getting railed by some dude in a game.

I do not understand what you are saying. You don't play as Daphne. Unless you mean "chick as the main character" as a bad thing because you wanted the game to have gay sex, but I'm not into that, but good for you I guess? idk

So it is a trainer game, so more netori since you are not "playing" as a specific character. But Shaggy, Red, and Fred all get blown, fred just has the smallest penis.

How can you do a trainer game if you're not playing as a specific character? The concept of a trainer game is fundamentally based on the idea that you, the player, are taking on the role of a specific character to turn one or more girls around said character into corrupted sluts. Now what happens after you've corrupted them can vary from them being your obedient personal use pets to them becoming uncontrollable insatiable whore beasts roaming the country side looking for any and every cock they can get their holes on but you always play as a single defined character aka the trainer.

When you are viewing Daphne and Red together, you the player are choosing to tell Daphne to strip or blow him, so that is like you are playing as Red. But when Daphne and Fred are together, you also can choose to initiate a blow job, so in that case it is like you are playing as Daphne.

It is omniscient view, the closest thing to describe it is you are playing as the narrator telling the characters what they are going to do.

Hope that makes sense?

The artstyle and basic mechanics are great so far, but I'd like the story to be somewhat more complex than it is. I understand that it's still a beta but I'd like to see not only grinding but story evolution too

As an idea, there could be something like catching bad guys and farming scooby snacks through that events, development of some "searching" skills and so on. Even ones where girls get caught by criminals and more lewd scenes come up lol

For sure. I actually just put out a new build for 10$+ patrons that goes a bit more into story, but out of curiosity, what would you like to see?

I edited the comment above, so one idea is there, another one could be moving to other places (just different bg's and so on). Maybe it could be some memories of Daphne and Fred together, other investigations or even some backstories created by your imagination

In the new update I was just talking about, I do use a flashback, so sounds like we're on the same wavelength there.

Getting caught has a bit of a "non-consent" vibe to it, but it would be interesting if Red whored Daphne out to the "monster" or convinces Fred to use her as bait for a trap.

It would be pretty funny if they catch the monster and then head to the next haunted house, which happens to look exactly like the previous one. Very on par with cost saving measures the original show used lol

Yes, it could be whoring out girls as a bait, though I think there should be some more mechanics to make player do some actions like actually searching for clues, some more will to make girls do what they do to make the game itself more complex but rewarding with some action. Though the balance for those things should be fair, not like grind for 50 days to get 1 scene. I hope your game will develop into more complex and interesting one to play for a few days at least cause personally I like most of the old shows/movies parody games like park after dark, 4 elements trainer, witch hunter and so on. You also can "borrow" some ideas from there, I think most of the devs wouldn't mind sharing their experience

How the game works always made sense. Just doesn't make sense how you're classifying it as a trainer as opposed to a multiple perspective CYOA game with corruption elements.

But it is explicitly about training Daphne. You cannot chose to have her not be corrupted. Unless you just play the same loop of "Search for clues" over and over again, but that would be a bit obtuse.

If you want Daphne to blow Fred, first she has to be taught how by Red. Doing so increases a corruption stat. The higher the stat the more you can convince her to do. This is like the definition of a trainer game. See 4 elements trainer, something unlimited, or Witch Trainer.

 

[Brannon]

You cannot chose to have her not be corrupted.

You can.
By not playing the game Daphne won't be corrupted ...

That is a horrible idea, though.
The game even if it's beginning stages is good. A bit grindy but good regardless.
Not a masterpiece.
Yet™.
