Ren'Py Life as an Innocent Waitress [v0.4.1] [Frisson Studios]

[pipindou]

From what I see from the tag and the change log, there is still no vaginal/anal sex in this new version. Is it true? If yes, I would wait for a version where it is possible to have them.

No penetration so far, but handjob, boobjob and assjob (not sure if that term exists though^^, but basically someone rubbing his member on her backside and "painting" her afterwards).

Great game but seriously the subway mini game is going to drive me bat shit insane having to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME...Please give the player an out or make it a bit faster to resolve because otherwise the game is fantastic. Either that or can some make a cheat to by pass it? TY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It's pretty simple to complete the subway minigame quickly (after you saw pretty much all variations and don't want to see some sexy stuff anymore), use spot the weakness to discover the molester vulnerabilities, then use the options in green to make him leave.
I like these minigames, but I agree, at some point, an option to skip them would be nice, maybe via some skills (at lvl 6..?)

The bartender is a copy of the receptionist job of KP, but I seriously can't complain, as I love these.
There's some things to fix for future versions, as some other guys have already mentioned here.
I'm not sure if it was mentioned but you can't get exhibisionist points during the bartender minigame when a customer open her bra, there's also some inconstancies, like being topless without complain here, but can't do the same when waitressing.
But well as this version is still a beta, and the game in early development... things can only improve in the future.

you can just skip it entirely by pressing arrive late, i tolerated it as long as second guy joined and that was the last scene in bookmark, and just skippers afterwards

Great update and great game!

 

[Frisson_Studios]

That's really annoying. And on top of that, there are those absurd interest rates that guy charges for rent. I think the inflation in that game must be over 100% because there's no other explanation for something like that. If the protagonist did the math, she would see that she would save much more if she lived somewhere else; at least the rent would be fixed and no one would be robbing or extorting her.

It’s a game. If the rent were easy to pay, the corruption would feel meaningless for players going for the pure route. If you choose to push her into corruption, then rent is not really an issue.

Can you actually trigger all events to get full completion progress 145/145?
On beach lost phone event, there are three choices:kiss, photo or grope.
Choosing any of the three will disable the other two. Is this by design?

Something similar happened to work event 2. Trigger this will auto disable work 1 -angry client/boss.
So, I reloaded and do work 1 -angry client/boss first.
Although work event 2 is not disabled, but it seem now cant be completed?

I didnt enable cheat/enter code or loading earlier save game, just play the game normally from scratch

Yes, you can reach 145/145. Events like the beach one where you lose your phone only let you pick one scene, but completing any one of the three is enough to count toward the total.

I don't think it's possible to pay the rent even if you commit all of effort on making money. That's how I felt it, you are destined to fail. It is kind of a point anyway, struggle but fail, it is an H-game.

Another thing I would say maid route is kinda underwhelming right now, not only you need to succeed with cleaning for 3 weeks in a row (making it 1-2 would be better), to get a costume, but there are very few mid scenes with the maid dress.

Yes, the idea is that she has to compromise something to pay the rent while staying as pure as possible. It is a corruption game after all. Also, doing two perfect weeks of cleaning from day one is enough to unlock the maid costume.

Yes, it seems the subway minigame was not very well received. You can skip the train by choosing “Wait and arrive late” at the very beginning. You can also take a cab to arrive on time, or sometimes get a short, fully descriptive mini event and still arrive on time.

Even so, we are reading all your feedback, and we will soon make a poll to decide whether the subway minigame stays or goes back to the previous one.

 

[That other person]

I loved the update in every regard, but Frisson_Studios needs to have a genuine discussion on how to make the new minigames more enjoyable.

1. Bartending: I liked the idea of bartending at first—The thought that Angel would be overwhelmed with the amount of drunks that approach the counter requesting a beer, while the ‘intruder’ harasses and slows her down behind the counter. This doesn't go as planned at all. Only one drunk person approaches the counter at a time, and they have too much patience and not much aggression. Due to its turn-based nature, you don’t really feel any sense of urgency or a desire to serve drinks as fast as possible. It requires too many button clicks, and not much H-content to compensate.

Instead, you're mostly managing washing glasses and pouring drinks, which is the point, but isn't the main attraction here. It's supposed to be the perpetrator who distracts and slows Angel down, maybe annoying her so much that she can't ignore him anymore, taking advantage of her, preventing her from doing the job freely, or restraining her in the later stages. Her first orgasm could make her lose a few seconds in haziness, and perhaps multiple orgasms could make her go weak at the knees and drop her to the floor, where escalating events can happen.

Although I found that the H-Content was severely lacking for bartending. The intruder mostly grabs her butt, and at most rubs his member on her vagina, which we don't really see happening from our camera angle, so it leaves most of it to our imagination.

2. Subway: The amount of new content that Subway has is incredible, but unfortunately, the minigame wastes the potential that the previous Subway events had, where each event was curated and whatever was happening with Angel was discussed in the form of dialogue and her internal thoughts. Unfortunately, the random dialogue nature makes it impersonal, and there is no real-time feedback on what's happening with Angel, only random sentences popping up inside the bubbles, which do not accurately reflect the scene.

For instance, Angel supposedly gets fingered for the first time on the Subway, but due to the random nature of this minigame, this is never discussed or brought up. If we're to assume that Angel has a hymen (as Kevin confirms), this isn't mentioned anywhere either, because any molester would've come to the same conclusion about her virginity and have a dialogue or tease her about it, but Angel just allows them to finger-fuck her without any consequence. If this were in the form of previous subway events, you could've had a nice, curated event about Angel being fingered for the first time, add it to her diary, plus you could've added the molester's thoughts too. If he were a quiet guy, he would ask for her permission, and if he were a dangerous one, he would just finger her anyway. The older version makes so much sense to me as long as Angel is a virgin still.

Also, after a few days, I found myself dreading the subway minigame, and I mostly started to spam the Wait button, as I just wasn't interested in “fighting” anymore. If there was an option to completely give up, I would've chosen it instantly.

Overall, this entire subway minigame should be placed after Angel has already had sex, and you want to create an infinitely replayable minigame event at the end of the story.

I agree, I'm giving it a pass as they were just added on this update and offer still good animations, and I'm hoping there's so much more to them in the future. For now I'm just glad they work well and give us more to see, and though the subway one is definitely the weakest, it can be skipped so I am grateful about that at least.

I do agree about the subway minigame being better if added after sex is possible as it would open up more choices. Also, assuming things went full lewd, that she can be in different positions during it, not just standing there, like sitting, against the door, against another person's back. Minigame could actually be amazing if given some love, which I'm hoping happens in future updates.

I would love a list or something of the skill trees or a way to reset my points. So I can try out different things and so I can see what the high levels of certain skills do.

I would actually love this option as if you level up her resistance to alcohol it gets really hard to get her drunk. Since some scenes don't repeat, some where she drank a lot are no longer in the loop, so it gets really difficult if you level it up earlier just to be more relaxed. We do need a respec button.

About a dozen other games I have checked recently, that were like 2-3 years in production and had ZERO h scenes to 1-2 scenes, or even unplayable gameplay.

And scenes here are hot, there are no stupid excess dialogues to waste player time for the sake of wasting time.

I don't think it's possible to pay the rent even if you commit all of effort on making money. That's how I felt it, you are destined to fail. It is kind of a point anyway, struggle but fail, it is an H-game.

Absolutely true. It really does make me appreciate the effort devs have put into this one game, definitely amazing.

About the rent, I have yet to attempt a pure route on this version and I will after I get the maid outfit, but on last version I could actually squeeze by and pay rent. It's not easy at all, but I think it does fit as this world doesn't care if Angel succeeds, she's only a hot girl to grope for these people, so it's kind of like swimming against the current.

I agree with the steps to achieve this being quite harsh, requiring either multiple saves just in case or knowledge of how the game works, which sucks for people that want to go pure route first then lewd, yes. I think some tweaks could go into that, but it should not be made easy.

This will make the the whole thing with the boyfriend (whenever they add him) quite difficult to handle, but I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, the idea is that she has to compromise something to pay the rent while staying as pure as possible. It is a corruption game after all. Also, doing two perfect weeks of cleaning from day one is enough to unlock the maid costume.

Then I guess I have stumbled upon an issue... I cleaned the first three weeks but still got no outfit. I'm guessing the "perfect cleaning" is not missing one spot at all and not simply cleaning every day? If that is so then I probably missed some spots at some point, yeah, so that may explain why I didn't get it. I'll attempt to get it later.

Subway minigame simply needs more cooking and corruption for it to be more engaging. It's not a bad idea, it's simply a little too plain and players mostly just wait and wait for it to go by, or skip. With more content and options it surely can be amazing, the animations are very good already. Perhaps Angel can quicken the men's climax later with more willing participation, making the minigame shorter, and you could give people the option to wait for other men to continue the game if wanted. I still appreciate you giving us more input, it's just a minigame that would benefit from a more sexually active Angel.

 

[Z3R]

Are there no new scenes for breaking barriers? Because those were some of my favorite scenes

 

[whatever123_z]

Is the game supposed to have no ambient sound or background music, or is something wrong on my end?

 

[snorfle]

Playing this game is a huge source of frustration for me. Every mechanic in the game seems to be designed to undermine the protagonist. For example, going to the police in the subway does nothing. No matter the amount of skill points, it's really hard to do a good job at bartending while keeping intruders at bay. Most characters she interacts with are unsympathetic, except maybe the darts guy. Dick, in particular, deserves to be shot on sight.
Is there a way to enjoy this game in a more positive way without having to resort to cheating? Or should I just put it on Ignore altogether?

Seeing that this is a corruption based game, you probably shouldnt be playing it & ignore it really...

I'm sure there are elements where you can tyry to keep her innocence but I'd have NO idea how that works. My MC is going total slut... LMAO!!!!

Maybe you'd be better off playing a "slice of life" style game if you are looking for something that 'doesn't undermine the MC' as you said.

 

[Milchiway]

The bartending would be way better with an added front perspective, where you can see her face, boobs or even lower with a transparent bar counter. Seeing her face changes from different attacks is essential to those scenes.

 

[Moramor]

The latest update is far from what most players expected. The game barely progresses, but constantly defends itself with the excuse of “slow corruption.” Repeating the same events and mini-games over and over again may work for some people, but for a porn game, it's just too much. It's slow, frustrating, and boring.

The promised new content is a disappointment. The tavern, supposedly the core of the game, hasn't really advanced, and the “new” scenes are basically recycled from the previous update. Same poses, same animations, just with less clothing. The dart mini-game, billed as a big new feature, barely offers one or two mediocre scenes, which in no way justifies the hype.

On top of that, the new events on the beach were supposed to have something new, but even though she gets naked in the tavern, she can't even show a nipple on the beach. What a great corruption they defend.

Overall, this update seems like reused content with minimal effort. The routine is exhausting, the rewards are scarce, and expecting people to pay over $50 on Patreon for this is, frankly, a joke.

Anyway, it's fun to read the comments from people defending the waste of their own money and time using nothing more than the excuse of “corruption.” Keep wasting your time.

For those wondering, even with tricks, the game is still slow, and the most you can achieve are the same scenes as before but without clothes.

 

[Clark Jasper Kent]

Is their a replay or gallery scenes for this game

 

[mmoprg010]

This game is really fun. It's similar to Karin's Prison. Can you recommend any similar games?

 

[Frank Chateau]

I joined the patreon to support the dev this month, there is a lot of content for a second release and the devs seem to have a good plan and plans to grow.
That said, I think the next update will really be the juicy one content wise, as both the new minigames set the stage for some good shenanigans.
Great work Frisson, thanks

 

[carrotliberation]

Yeah, I played the content. Imho at this point any girl with a little bit brain would be whoring on streets and internet. Instead of being humiliated on daily basis for little money. At least a whore would have some self-respect left for herself. You call this slow corruption I call this moral degeneracy. This isn't slow corruption my duds.

 

[Zashs]

I think the subway minigame is really good and should stay.
The issue is there's no good way to avoid it for people who don't like it or just don't feel like dealing with it all the time.

I think you should keep it but design some means to get around it for the player, no need to scrap it altogether when you've put so much work into it.
And yeah I know you can take a cab or arrive late, but that's not exactly a good solution to the problem as it costs you too much money.

That would be a different genre, or at least a "bad ending." But really, no logic ever works in porn or porn games. AWAM tried to and we saw how that went

Doesn't it quit if you call/shout the officer for you?
