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

[Frank Chateau]

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.

I found you eventually make enough money if you never pay rent to just take a cab and skip it, or you can leave early and skip the train I think

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

I dunno mate, Insexcity handled it good (yeah the story is another question, I mean the process of corruption). There are other games that don't make the MC into dumb degenerate in order to show you sex scenes.

good lord I love me a chikan minigame. makes me wish in the full game getting climax too many times in consecutive minigames makes the molester stick around way past where your ment to drop off even after they climax once. So your punished for not dealing with your arousal, and also get to enjoy the main character getting pleasured nearly endlessly.

Seems I’m the one of the few who liked the Subway mini game. Though, once all the content was done I started skipping it. Hope it won’t go totally away and gets polished for easier getaway.

I also liked the bartending mini game as it gives variety to the waitressing. I do hope more interaction with Flan, e.g. flirting to get him leave quicker. This goes to customers as well, also in waitressing. There’s also a bug in bartending, if you arrive to work earlier to skip subway mini game (at least on Wednesday), bartending is skipped and you’re taken straight to the end scene.

I started a fresh game and the corruption path is now really well tuned and corruption path is more consistent tying different events together. Though I like slow burn and the grind, I'd tune the progress bit faster.

Hope that in the next update earlier beach events get randomly recycled instead of nothing. Hoping the same also for waitressing, e.g. decline the customer attemps 1-3 times to restart the events from scratch. Now when you finish the content, there's no reason to play.

Overall, really liked the game and update.

Is there an exhibitionism level where she doesn't bother with covering her boobs up if uncovered in the bar ? She is in the bartender mini game but not while serving tables. This game and this girl is pretty damn hot, progress is a tad slow but thats fine.

over 320 or something like that. there is a point in which she dosn't cover her top and farther on the bottom anymore

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.

Dev is ass man, not boob man You can see how they prioritize the scene.

I hope we're not the only ones, because I too liked it very much.

I started a fresh game, same as you, and for the subway I either called the cops, or just refused all interaction at first because I was not that fond of how the events played with the subway until now, until it was the last thing remaining to do, so as usual I just skipped all texts, until I discovered it would lead to the minigame... and damn, I loved it.

But sure, it needs some polishing, I hope they'll keep it and tune and polish it instead of just remove it. It would be such a waste because it's well done, so very sexy how they handle her and how to can make her "lead" things.

Right now as she's only on the receiving and molested side, it pretty much has everything it needs, maybe some thoughts shouldn't be this random has johnyakuza1 suggested, to increase immersion. I too found strange that the front guy goes for ths pussy that easily and that's it...

The talk/toughts bubbles should really reflect if she either talk or think by switching between a fitting image and have their own array of lines of texts separated (same thing should be done for the bartender).

Her corruption growing should unlock new skills to enable new actions for her being reasonably more active during the molestation, like undressing herself and guiding the molester hand where she want to be groped.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure these are things that will come at some point, or so I hope.

This is one of best slow burns on this page, I had to play 5h+ to get off once.. so if you plan on severe erectile dysfunction then I can totally recommend it.

Hi

On the subway, how high does the exhibitionism level have to be before she allows her panties to be lowered? I have a 500 and still can't let it happen?

from trying the complete save file, you probably need to reach 720 exhibitionism

Dev is ass man, not boob man You can see how they prioritize the scene.

Aside from FMC and the twins, all the characters are incredibly ugly. What does that say about the developer?

Small detail: even the foam on the beer has an ugly face.

That's not a beer, for sure maybe slimes.

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.

It's not that the new subway minigame is bad, but it just doesn't make sense right now, as long as Angel is still a virgin, and she has yet to receive a lot of her “first times”.

As I mentioned in an earlier comment, for one, you lose all the personal dialogue and curated events, so all the “first times” that Angel might have on the subway would be reduced to a small text bubble. Hypothetically, if Angel were to have sex in the subway, imagine what it would look like in this minigame—It would just sort of... happen? And then the bubble would say, ‘Oh no! He took my virginity!’ or ‘He put his dick inside me’, and then the minigame would literally continue as if nothing happened. Now imagine the same scenario in the previous style of subway events, where you could really flesh out every single dialogue, internal dialogue, molester's conversation, adding more renders, etc, and really make her first time mean something, instead of one line inside a bubble.

Unlike Angel's first kiss, we already have a victim with fingering, because nowhere else in the game does Angel get finger-fucked inside her, not even in the sitting events or table cleaning events, or even Kevin for that regard. It's safe to assume that she had her first experience being fingered in the subway, and yet, I didn't see any mentions of it happening. It's not even in the diary. When the old men at the bar ask about her first kiss, and if it happened in the subway, you actually recall that event happened with the molester because you chose that option and saw it for yourself, and you'll always remember who took Angel's first kiss. I wouldn't remember or care if it happened within this minigame because there's no special moment or feedback.

On the other hand, I really liked the small minievents. They're quite comical, and also because they're full renders, not a cutout from a side-view perspective. Please keep adding to those!

damn, I enjoyed so much this game, played it for 10hrs straight

 

[terirheken]

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.



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.



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.

I must say I actually love the subway game and kinda hope someone would pick that idea up as a standalone game^^
For me the bartender job is a bit underwhelming and needs to be flashed out, especially the part with the owners brother feels too forced (he should start slowly maybe after the first few x customer interactions or after the first stealing etc) and the mechanic on how he pops up.
I also stillhope there will soon be more interactions with the brothers at home and a rework of how the father ehrm landlord approaches the MC. And maybe indeed an option to move in with the perv brother and then the free room be rented out to another person.

Yeah, we will poll it soon, to see what ppl think about the minigame overall.

We want Greg, the landlord, to be as unlikable as possible, so that even slut routes still try to pay the rent. He represents the negative outcome of failing to pay, which is one of the core themes of the game. You should never expect him to be nice or likable, because that was never the intention for his character.

It's probably closest. I liked it. Hard difficulty is quite difficult so I'd recommend normal or easy. Winning each level unlocks everything from that level so no need to lose necessarily. The lose scenes are bit of meh and limited, but the main focus is on the groping anyways.

Yeah, we will poll it soon, to see what ppl think about the minigame overall.

I liked subway minigame, reminded me of the game I linked above. It's not perfect obviously and there the points made about "firsts" happenin in subway can be bit problematic.

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.

I am brand new to playing this game so I don't have an sense of how the previous version of the game is vs this new version. I see a lot of people praising the game in general and I like parts of the game. I have a lot of respect for your post as it is very detailed and informative and isn't just saying how great or bad the game is and leaving it at that. I now want to play the previous version if there is a way to get it. People who just post "this is the best game ever" "love this game" etc make me wonder if they are just there to pad the devs positives.

Things I don't really care for are:

The dart game - feels like a waste of time
The beach - feels like a waste of time
The bus/subway - I take a cab every time because that also feels like a waste of time
Happy hour - very stressful, constantly run out of endurance or whatever and spill drinks on everyone or have 4-5 tables waiting on drinks because I am resting to recover endurance so less tips.
