VN - Ren'Py - Life Together [v0.2 Fix] [Mr. BlackEyes]

Too much porn logic in this game and devs who dont seem to yet know which crowd they want to appeal to.

The story is absolutely retarded, give up on it making any sense and just go with it. the characters are just walking vaginas and tits, they dont really haver any personality and are extremely inconsistent, one clear example is the young girl (Melody?) saying she hates how the old guy keeps staring at her tits and ass and juts a bit later she is getting all excited about the same pervert guy watching her tits and ass and even showing herself to him herself.
I mean.... ????????????????????????????? Where logic? are we supposed to take these characters seriously, apparently not. And why the fuck would I want to watch a creepy old guy masturbating? What does this sequence add to the game aside from making her character seem bipolar or schizofrenic. Why is the prevert even part of the game lmaoooo, so stupid.


As I said too much porn logic and bait for swinging/ntr, I basically just played because the renders are good but, I gave up before even finishing.
tldr: Great graphics and thats it, if you dont read and only care about pretty images give it a go in a few years right now theres barely any content, otherwise just play something else.

i love this game, beautiful girls. All are splendid., really nice.
Can't wait to see more oh this game. maybe more choices and actions but it's not important.
Congrats nice work i'm a fan, good choices of clothes.

The models and the art in general is first-rate. I hope the dialogue and
character development continues to improve in future episodes. Though only a novice developer, Mr.BlackEyes shows some real promise.

Was really surprised by the low rating of the game , almost made me miss this gem. The renders are perfect, even the facial expressions are wonderful, especially liked the younger " roommate",so mischievous. For those who like family drama this is a must play game. Can't wait for future episodes.

Excellent renders and, so far, a story that unfolds naturally, which is a positive thing amidst so many lazy video games in this "market."
The only thing I can see as "debatable," to put it mildly (which actually makes me laugh), is that if that guy is 34 years old, then I'm finished at 24.

Every update so far has broken something forcing a replay, not a good start to your AVN

otherwise its pretty cookie cutter slice of life - not incest but it is incest to appease Patreon style AVN.

Ages of characters are also not matching up that MC is somehow in their 30's

could get better expecting it to stay 2 star or get worse. we'll see

Time and time again, first releases should always be solid and packed with as much content as possible. How do you expect people to stay when you can't even deliver 5minutes worth of content?

Renders are nice, models are nice and none of that matters when you can't even deliver a complete update instead only 400 renders at best split into 2 parts. That is wholly pathetic.

ask yourselves this, if the first update is so abysmal what makes anyone think the next ones will be better? Its literally 20 more renders in the new update. You must be a joke to call this development.

Nope, that was not good.
A very short story that does not make much sense (I suppose it needs a patch). Lewd content is kept at the absolute minimum and is definitely badly crafted.
I suppose the devs have something in mind but I am not interested to find out.

[v0.1.5]

Garbage. The story setup is so farfetched and retarded that you can't take anything seriously. Also, this game uses child faces on adult bodies for some characters for the wink wink appeal, but it just looks stupid.

The MC is 34 years old. He has a full grown daughter from some highschool fling. The daughter lives with her mom, who is either a junkie or has chronic health issues (not clear yet which it is).

The MC lives in a studio apartment (no rooms) with his 36 year old sister and 19 year old sister, and they are apparently clawing themselves out of this poor standard of living as a group of siblings. It seems like his parents are out of the picture, but who knows, with the way this dev writes, mom will probably join the fray at some point.

The MC is said to be an unemployed bum at age 34 doing odd jobs when he can or just fucking around doing nothing. Older sis is a bartender and younger sis works at a comic book store. They are all saving to move out of the small studio apartment and make a better life for themselves... which might make sense if they were just on the cusp of adulthood, with a tragic incident leaving them to fend for themselves, but this shit makes no sense when we are dropped into a story with three siblings, two of which are in their mid thirties but has no contacts, no money, no prospects, and no careers.

I mean, what the fuck were they doing with their lives prior to the start of the game? Were they all living with mom until whatever happened? I try to think of various ways to explain the set up of this story, and I can't really come up with anything that makes sense.

Furthermore, these people are deranged. They wear nothing around the house (and outside of it). They flash their tits, ass, and cock all the time to each other. But apparently, this behavior doesn't mean they are fucking yet. No, they act like this for no reason. The aunt is an exhibitionist slut that walks around naked and says she wants to suck MC's cock, and MC also wants to bang her, but actually, they haven't done anything yet despite MC regularly going there for odd jobs and presumably interacting with her in this manner all the time. The younger sis complains that her boss does nothing but stare at her ass, but she goes to work wearing a bra, miniskirt, and thong, and bends over to flash her ass.

Basically, these people don't act even close to normal. The way they behave could be something the players eventually works towards by doing the incest progression. Or, it could be an already established dynamic that is explained in the backstory. But no, you can't have them act this way and just pretend they are normal functional human beings.

Finally, the incest patch doesn't even work. And no, you can't play this game without the patch because the story will make literally no sense without it.

Oh, and the sex scene is basically a single animation without any dialogues. You click and it's done.

The demo being lackluster was fine, not quite the pilot episode but enough to sort of show hey this is what i plan to do. The renders and characters are nice but the writing is so off, its never implied that the MC has had any sexual relations with these characters but yet the dialogue is written as if there was a game before this game. Very confusing.

First update in and its literally only 10 more frames. What happened to standards people?

It's early yet, but what's here looks AMAZING and the writing and dialogue so far is rock solid. As for the visuals, this title has some of the best of any title I've ever played. Can't wait to see more!

Early reviews complaining about a sandbox, etc. seem to have prompted a number of changes. There's no sandbox and one of the early choices produced two different scenes, indicating there are likely to be meaningful choices as we proceed.

Excellent start. Visuals are awesome. Game has great potential. Looking forward to this being developed and not abandoned. Sincerely looking forward to more. Please keep up the great work. Love it!!

Pros:
- good graphics
- writing
Neutral:
- plot
- navigation
- progression
Bad:
- content is poor, even for v0.1

Overall there is potential, but that's it, the content is average, and even for an early version it's disappointing. The graphics are good, and the game doesn't spend much time on mechanics, so there is potential, at the moment it's not worth the trouble.

Good renders and a decent story... Dialogues are a little immature and rough but still okay... The sandbox elements though are atrocious... This would be a million times better if the sandbox was removed and it would only be a vn, cause the sandbox does not add any value to the game...

Ill be honest, this is basically an empty 1.0.
Its literally a few more renders added to the demo and one lewd scene which was so poorly done.

Renders are nice but translation is super rough and the plot is so poorly established as well. Honestly thought this was going to be a good release but nope.

Review for V0.1
Well as the rating suggests, this wasn't a great experience. What I will say is, that the graphics are quite decent and the girls especially are extremely pretty. That’s basically the only real positive here.

The rest of the game is pretty dissapointing. Literally within the first five minutes of playing this game, all 3 main LI's have already accidentally seen the MC’s p*nis. Like really, that’s the setup? On top of that, there’s this rich neighbor woman who dresses so desperately. She of course sees you delicious p*nis (the mc really has a difficult time of not exposing himself to literally everyone), and just wants to f you because of that. There’s barely any story to speak of, no romantic progression, and the characters feel one-dimensional. It plays out like one big cliché without any of the build-up or character work that could make this game interesting.

Also, the same annoying song just keeps playing lol. There are no sound effects or any different song.

So yeah, unless you’re just looking for eye candy and nothing else, I’d advise skipping this one.

Very nice game at chapter1. sweet girls, ugly Aunt. Simple kinda stupid story as usual cool but poor guy living with ekhmmm "friends". lack of "landlady" but there is ugly Aunt instead of her. animation is nice but laggy, but there is FPS overmade but some of user.

Amazing gorgeous CG, I'm very suprised at how good looking they were and not using old copy-paste versions. Looking forward to next updates. Good job Bob!!! This is what we've been needing for a long time!

VERSION: 0.1

Average: X of 50 possible points giving a X% rating i.e. X stars.

PROS:

1. Really good looking models, LIs are beautiful, almost too good looking, but this is a game
2. MC looks decent, well built, but (major but with his look and age, see CONS)
3. Music and sounds are good, ambient sounds are nice and provide a more immersive experience.

CONS:

1. MC and characters in general are not "aged" correctly, making continuity and the story in general work pretty much a shit show.
2. Per above and story, there really isn't much of one and what is there is just thrown together in messy fashion.
3. The plot is not believable due to things like ages for characters are much younger than what we are lead to believe if we simply look the characters. They look too young but we are to believe they are older, where others look too old and are actually suppose to be young. Read more in my comments section.
4. Added to my point above are the character relationships, they don't make much sense at all. This game, is intended to be played as an incest one so using the patch technically is a requirement if the dialogue and story make a bit more sense.
5. The living situation makes ZERO sense, add the age issue and you have an even bigger fuckup trying to make sense of the story and the circumstances. Its just a messy clusterfuck IMO.
6. Added to the generally poorly planned story and plot is the poor dialogue, its not horrible in terms of grammar or structure, its poor in terms of content, the "daughter" speaks about her mothers parents, wouldnt that be her grandparents? Things like that, the dev needs to go recheck the script.
7. Story is pretty much horseshit with all the tits and ass hanging out, no reservations for any of the woman or even MC to walk around in underwear, or flat out showing off there tits, ass, pussy and leaving almost nothing to the imagination, especially the "aunt" which drives a blantent porn logic story and plot, making the game a fail for me. The internet is full of porn...

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context which could be useful to the developer.

FINAL REMARKS, OPINIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

• Per con about ages. First the relationships are shit, like the MCs friend, "hello friend" " I want to live with you friend" "My friends parents are ok with me living with you" This is pretty much what is there now, its a nonessential mess. Now, lets just add the incest patch for some kinks, ok so now the relationships make a little bit more sense...apart from the fact that there is a awful lot of sexual tension between siblings and aunt. Then we meet the "friend" who is now the daughter, which again pushes the age issue for the MC, unless he is 28 and the "daughter" 10 it could have worked, but she looks at least 16 probably 18 which means he would need to be almost 36 to "legally" be the dad. Even if he was 30, he looks easily 21 maybe 24, which causes further mess with that "daughter" character. Ultimately whether you use the incest patch or not, the relationships do not make sense. If the game is, and its possible, intended as an incest game, then the MC is too young to be "Emily's" dad (unless he was married to the her biological mother" and the MC is her adopted or step-father, in which case the dev must make that clear immediately)
• Adding a bit of beard to the MC could also push his age up to make the whole daughter thing more believable.
• Apart from relationships and age issues compounding the issues I have with the dialogue, the game comes accross more as a showcase of models design talent than a VN with decent story. I believe the dev can make fucking good looking models and renders that are great, but they driving a very poor plot and dialogue with blatent promiscuity and sluttiness from the LIs which attempts to "hide" the fact that there is really no story or decent plot to be found anywhere in this game.
• For this story to make a bit more sense, I would age the MC and his older sister a bit more as well as the Aunt a smidge just to make them look more like they in their mid to late 30s, aunt mid to late 50s at least. I would also make the MC look older, give him a beard and let him dress more appropriately like give the guy a shirt, he isn't a young frat boy. Then add to the story, that the "kids" i.e. MC and sisters ended up with the parents debt and fell on hard times or something that justifies and creates a compelling reason for the 2 30 plus year old siblings living together currently. Then carry on for there...

TLDR:

Visually great looking game, built around a lot of eye candy, skanky LIs, but no decent story and poor defining of relationships make this game difficult to like, which is a bummer, because if the dev spent half the time on the dialogue and story they clearly spent on the renders, this could easily have been a very good release....

Really good start, good luck with your game. Models are excellent, language translation (I assume it's translation), could be better. Might want to get that proofed. Otherwise a great start, well done.
