Ren'Py Life as an Innocent Waitress [v0.2.2] [Frisson Studios]

[TheUberstuff]

even before getting fixed you could just click Ignore, not a game ending bug

right, I love how people get bent out of shape over something that can be ignored and then everything works fine. I have had that bug since I started the game. Doesn't bother me one bit. I haven't even downloaded 2.2 yet because if thats all it does is fix that I would rather not start over again.. not that I don't love the game enough and will gladly start again when a new patch with new content comes out.

Really looking forward to three things in this game:

• When she reaches the point that she doesn't mind working fully exposed.
  • Not nude, but specifically with her clothing moved to expose her breasts, butt, and *flower*
    • nudity itself is not nearly as stimulating as scantily clad.
• When she starts sucking dick.
• When Kev starts painting her face/body at night.
  • I've *cheated* and looked at the images folders, which indicate this might be possible in-game

Really hoping (but don't think is very likely):

• She eventually accepts/enjoys oral and anal, but maintains her vaginal *virginity* as long as possible
  • I'm a MASSIVE fan of Project Sage, and getting really into Abnormal.
  • Not sure how this should impact Kev's visits, since she's kinda half-awake and consenting, but doesn't remember in the morning.
    • There is a kinda twisted appeal to me if she believes she's still a virgin meanwhile Kev &/or other *housemates* are pounding her vag almost every night.

Questions:

• If you "go into debt" with your father (resulting in creepy dad hugs, etc) is there any *real* consequence?
  • i.e. should I be avoiding that to avoid a game over, or should she be focusing her money on a top tier mattress, etc.
    • aside: Even the top tier safe doesn't prevent stealing, it just seems to reduce how much gets stolen. Not sure how I feel about that.
• This is an optimization conundrum:
  • View attachment 4974791
  • The day prior to that she got $21. The day before THAT she got $19.
    • Could autowork more than a week (assuming $87, $73, $62, $52, $44, $37, $31, $26, $22) and possibly earn more money than working (depending on the drop-off and such) and then see what kinda money the next *work* makes.
  • I'm not even sure if she's still getting $30+tips anymore, or if it is $20+tips since her boss is taking a third, or if it is just tips and her boss is taking a third.
  • She's not exactly hurting for money... it's Day 21 and rent is currently $800/week (probably going up again for next week)... but she's not exactly rolling in money either.
  • On the other hand, autowork (probably) doesn't advance exhibitionism, reputation, bar integrity, new events, etc. It's just about the money.

I looked all over for the images folder and can't find it. Please let us/me know where you found it? Checking out Project Sage and Abnormal..... looks like Project Sage is abandoned?

Has a Honey Select Card been released for the main character?

Just a heads up some of the links for download redirect you to adverts everytime you try to actually get the download. The only one I could get to work which wasn't shady was workupload the others won't work unless I enable about 20 advert scripts which I'm not doing. I use No Script so I can see them all. The others down't even have a legit *download* button that I could find.

After playing I had to go back and give Corruption Town another play. I don't normally compare games directly against one another, but given the clear inspiration I think it's fair.

The biggest thing that Corruption Town has going for it that would make a huge quality of life impact on this game is that the customers in CT don't look like walking fungal infections. Having played through the currently available content for both, I'm begging the dev for this game to change up the customer models to not be so repulsive

Autowork shouldn’t be used unless necessary, since it won’t progress anything and may cause you to miss content. That’s why its efficiency drops over time—to remind the player they need to manually play the bar now and then.

After extracting with UnRen:
...\game\2\Images\Eventos\Chars\sleep01\1\
scroll down to f2611 thru t2822

Project Sage was abandoned back in August 2020 for reasons unknown (Dev was having issues, disappeared for a while, reappeared briefly, then seems to have disappeared permanently), but was an amazing game.

Abnormal is a really slow burn, but when it burns it gets really hot.

so.... next update preliminary date?)

 

[SaSteiner]

• When Kev starts painting her face/body at night.
  • I've *cheated* and looked at the images folders, which indicate this might be possible in-game

It was already possible in 0.1, but since a new event was added (Kev eating her flower) the trigger chance is almost 0.
I played a new save file and he did it once.

 

[Unicumblack]

want more

 

[Ceebler]

When she reaches the point that she doesn't mind working fully exposed.

• Not nude, but specifically with her clothing moved to expose her breasts, butt, and *flower*
  • nudity itself is not nearly as stimulating as scantily clad.

This is possible in the current version if you get her exhibition stat to be 300. The animations for the kissing game and the others will show her in this state as well.

I like the way you think... especially on the nudity thing. Whenever I get the choice I prefer the girl to still be wearing clothes, open, messy, loose, but still wearing them.

I kind of dig the idea of her consenting in her hazy nighttime moments and having no idea the next day. Though I really would prefer a choice there all the time as when she's drunk she automatically goes for the lewd option, which, I mean, I kind of get it.

I still prefer to choose when that happens, but I like this stuff. Maybe she can still manage to save it and go for anal instead during that night encounter. I gues we'll see.

Isn't she being drugged at night by her brother when he makes her dinner? I wasn't sure if he was putting some mild sleeping pills in her food.....I think he should get caught at night by one or more of his family......and then who knows what would happen....lol

 

[STracer]

oral sex is sex.

Not according to some presidents.....lol

 

[JacksDissapointment]

Not according to some presidents.....lol

That was going through my mind when I first posted the "night scenes" reply. Wondering if someone would actually give pushback on that.

 

[JacksDissapointment]

I think people here would have noticed if there was a blowjob scene. Maybe it's a mistake. I played plenty, got the message that confirmed there was no more content available at the bar, the house, the train and the online pictures and videos stuff on the computer. In my game she doesn't mind having her breasts out in the bar and she can even sleep naked.

If there is indeed a blowjob somewhere... it might be some file tucked away for the next update that messed something up? I don't know.

The game does warn against using old saves, so maybe that's it? You probably sent some people on a wild hunt for the blowjob scene now lol. Though I'm very sure there is no such thing yet.

without delving into the code, it's hard to tell when you've seen all the content for a given update. so some people just assume they're done at some point. Especially with the exceptionally high stat requirements for some scenes.

 

[jack_hollow_boy]

How can we know that we've reached the end of content for this update? I mean, I have already went to the final photos for the app, exhib + 200, latest "sleep fun" scene and the kiss game on the bar...

 

[Soso la fleur]

I think I've reached the end of the update...

Skipping would ruin the flow of the game. The idea is for you to put in the effort for everything; otherwise, the corruption wouldn’t feel as real. That’s what we believe, but we’re open to suggestions and criticism.

(Regarding the text speed issue the quote above replied to)
Heya, just chiming in here! I haven't actually tried the game yet due to the text speed comments, but after reading this I wanted to add my small voice to that if possible!

I have ADHD and am a very fast reader. I can't speak for others but for me every single game that doesn't have instant text is borderline unplayable. I can't even begin to describe the annoyance of having to wait for an extra 1-2 seconds every other second. Even if that agonizing text animation can be skipped, constantly spamming click is just extra, and it massively increases the risk of missing dialogue or picking choices by accident.

The combination of slow text -> spamming click past choices -> inability to back up to history to read or change choices is one of the worst and most common accessibility problems for me, and one of the main reasons I avoid RPGM as a rule. Even if the story & dialogue is fantastic, I can't even focus on it when all my attention goes to the horrid usability and those pointless breaks interrupting my thoughts and immersion every second.

I get disabling skipping itself - even if that tends to hurt the replay value. But the main reason Ren'Py is so great for VN's is because these & other accessibility features are built-in. I urge you and other devs to reconsider removing these very basic features that exist for a reason.

Regardless, thanks for reading and wish you all the best! <3

Is there any similar games like this?
