Ren'Py Life's Payback [v1.0] [Vinkawa]

[Vinkawa]

About v0.8.4 - The rework seems fine, until you realise that nearly all anal content has been removed from the game. Such a disappointment in that regard.

Not to mention many old content has been removed

Also the newly added scenes mostly using the camera position from different angle.

Yes the quality of life is better cuz many of the grind has been eliminated, however with the current content, most of the scenes looks the same, same angle, girl face pushed to the bed, and the camera is facing to her butt, even using the same camera angle to show cum. The dev should add more variability.

The unskippable scenes, when you have to wait the slow motion animation, feel tedious.

There are literally 4 new anal scenes but yeah "nearly all anal content" has been removed, man (there are more anal scenes in v0.8.4 than any other versions, but let's move on).

Old content wasn't removed but postponed to v0.9, it's written in the changelog.

I have deadlines to meet and I'm not a Patreon milker, so that's why I'm not taking one year to release a rework, and splitted the work in two versions instead (v0.8 and v0.9), hence the fact some old scenes will be available in the v0.9

You should take this into account before making such statements, or you just encourage devs to AFK for one year and deliver a final product afterwards when everything's been done.
Which is not the path I'm taking because it's a clear lack of understanding of the market.

The pic that alice sends you is suppose to be a wallpaper right? If so it doesnt pop up as available to change her backdrop.

Yep I've fixed it for v0.9, thanks man.

how often does the game update?

 

[Bob.Bones]

How do you advance time? I'm in the early game, all the available characters respond with "I should leave her alone for now", and other options aren't unlocked yet. Without some way to go to the next time period where progressions are possible, the game appears to be soft-locked.

EDIT: Found it, taking a 'nap' in the bedroom.

Every 14 days.

Huh ? Open your relationship menu and refer to their quests, it's impossible to get softlocked in the v0.8.4 with a new save.

Otherwise, doing character's quests advances time, taking a nap on your bed advances time.

Hey dev, another great update, gj. Do you think we will get threesomes soon? Bet they will be a pain to animate but would be amazing. Good luck on 0.9!

I came back to thread to change review now the grind is gone but my review is gone and I can't leave a new one. Very confusing.
Decent game now, although I don't really like the MC. He goes from
"Lets get revenge on my bitch mom" to "Lets collar a homeless girl, make her think she's having a meal when I know her life situation sucks, but then just make her deepthroat me and to make it up for her, buy cosplay I'd like, rather than food, then genuinely get confused about why she's mad"
Among other things. He has no particular reason to mess with half the cast, she's just the most egregious example. She literally does nothing to deserve any of it.

The animation I liked the most was the old Alice's dance. Now it doesn't exist anymore. It's hard to appreciate from this new angle. Why not keep the old + the new as a new angle option? Add it back, please.

 

[naragas1]

It's much better this way

 

[KhajiitHasWares]

I see the "complain toxicly but won't actually do anything productive" crowd have left their twitter boycots to come grumble again.

 

[Ewinabottle]

Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Been having this issue since 0.6, can't view scenes or anything

Thanks man. Around v1.0 ~ v1.1

If I correctly remember the notification I received, your review was removed long time ago for stating what you considered as grindy something you could easily circumvent by making several characters quests instead of focusing on one. I'm not the one who triggered the appeal for removal tho, I just got notified about it. And I'm also not paying attention to reviews complaining about grind anymore, I just invite people to play another game. Then they still come back to this game after seeing how abysmal the current market is.

Also, in all honesty, I'm pretty tired of your naivety about people.
You want the MC to have a reason to mess with people, and you complain about how he acts with Nina, I don't have time to polish every minor detail, just deal with how the story unfolds for her, I'm not gonna adapt everything until I've satisfied everyone's whim.
As if everyone in real life was being mean for a particular reason. Huh ? Hello ?
Evil doesn't need a justification to operate.
Evil is born of past experience or is simply inside you for no reason.
Evil can have its sense of justice towards people who have given rise to it in the past, or can simply be, for others.
Evil is just is, and so are we, for a little while.

Hmm I have a problem and for some reason some scenes appear with a black screen. Are they from the deleted scenes?

 

[Daisies]

This game really needs version with lower res renders, some animations are stuttery mess, guess rework did not changed that. This is one of those that requires crunched version for me to play

I had some issues on the old version but no issues whatsoever on the new update. What version of the game are you playing and do you have stuff running in the background?

 

[Lambert911]

I guess I'll have to wait for the next version.

 

[Anewrai]

Also I forgot to mention during Annas quest line at one point the 500 changes to 250 in dialog and then changes back I only notice it happening 1time

 

[_Zoinks_]

I know how a lot of the scenes stuttered a lot on mobile before the new rework. Wanted to know if that is still a problem in the new reworked version.
