Ren'Py Life's Payback [v2.3] [Vinkawa]

Hello Vinkawa, I got this bug after pressing the character list.
I'm playing it on Android tablet with Joiplay, so I don't know what I should do.

Code:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I wanna pre-face that I love the game, but is there any plans on going over the mouth animations when it comes to blowjobs for some of the characters? Like Megumi's and some others, where it stretches forward or in a weird way and it just throws me off. I understand it's a weird fit for the MC's dick but even just making it so it doesn't stretch that far forward would be an improvement.

There is no plan on going over the mouth animations. Only a few animations are made this way and I don't think changing my artistic style would be an improvement.

WOW great game DEV !
The animations are superb.

why? all you have to do is go to the little circles of the girls it literally tells you what to do there is no better walkthrough in any game I have played. What are you wanting differently?

Wrote a review before realizing that they're disabled, because THERE IS NO FUCKING DISCLAIMER IN THE OP ABOUT THAT. Well whatever, it is what it is.

[v2.1.1]

Hottest Koikatsu porn on the market, but story.exe not found.

The revenge itself takes a very small portion of the story. Most of the runtime follows weird love-hate relationships of MC and the girls (of whom there are 18 so far) that frankly doesn't make much sense. Half the time he blackmails/forces himself upon them for no reason, when they could probably do the same willingly, just to keep this whole dynamic going. Sometimes the girls are totally unreasonable and being hostile/mean/unfair towards MC, it seems like just to give him an excuse to further abuse them. On the topic of sandbox, it doesn't really add much to the table. The game's pretty much kinetic and the sandbox doesn't manage to create a customizable experience, and rather just makes you spend more time where you could be doing something interesting instead. Game could easily be a VN and only gain in pacing and overall enjoyment of the experience. Now, where the game lets down with weak writing and boring gameplay, it heavily overcompensates with erotic content. This developer has to offer some of the best sex scenes in Koikatsu in the business. He/she clearly spent too much time watching hentai while carefully taking notes, instead of going out and touching grass (based btw).

Writing:

- Poor English translation and loads or typos (e.g. "stealing people" instead of "robbing people", "leave" instead of "live", etc.).

- Erotic writing is pretty hot, but everything related to story and characters is quite subpar. The way the relatioship dynamics go back and forth between love and hatred is ridiculous

- The usual sandbox inconsistency issues (e.g. Laura is supposed to move to dojo, but somehow still goes to school, hangs out at the gym, and at her home, Nina already lives in your house yet still craws into the room from the window, etc).

- Character's behavior, interactions and motivations makes little to no sense. Not quite mental asylum level, but not immersive enough either.

Gameplay:

- Too much 'sandbox' and not enough 'visual novel' IMO.

- The game is a sandbox, but there is no player agency, you HAVE to follow walkthrough to a tee, more often than not in a very strict order. So far there are ZERO choices that would branch character story-lines.

- The navigation pop-up UI is a bit annoying and sometimes gets in the way.

- No text outline, and as many renders are overexposed, textbox becomes a necessity.

- Too many repetitive events.

Porn:

+ Superb custom Koikatsu animations with climax sequences.

+ The directing, camera angles and movement, lighting, choreography are all done very well.

- Unfortunately most scenes are too short.

+ Hot ahegao faces.

+ Very high effort animated cut-scenes.

+ Plenty of well-mixed and varied sex SFX, though the female grunts are kinda weird.

- Sex scenes basically happen in a vacuum: no teasing, no buildup, no aftermath either. It goes like this almost every time: MC asks for a sexual favor or drugs the girl -> black screen (unzips.mp3) -> sex animation -> cumming animation (with ahegao) -> black screen -> back to sandbox. Very little context surrounding the whole process.

+ The girl/women models are very unique and attractive. There are too many with "oversized hentai MILF" body type with humongous tits and hips, but honestly, they are hot and pretty enough for me to not care much.

+ there is a lot of content.

p.s. was pleasantly surprised by nice soundtrack featuring some Electro bangers, and of course it turned out that the dev is French. What's up with these baguettes having the best electronic music in the world?

Playtime: ~8 hours

It's a good review, but after all, it's a porn game. And it's a good porn game. It would be silly to say there's no story, at least something has been done, all the characters have their own stories. The game is still new, so I don't agree with the story part.

I'd argue that the narrative so far only serves to somehow connect the sex scenes and make the girls distinguishable and rarely goes beyond that function. There are some attempts at storytelling with the cat girl background and Lucie's retribution arc, but they are not very well written IMO. If you're satisfied with the current quality of the script - that's fine, and yes, it's a porn game and the writing is totally appropriate for this medium. But from where I am standing it could use some improvements, tho doesn't need to.

This is a porn game, so it would be ridiculous to expect a “being a dick” story. Besides, “being a dick” style games are not porn games, they are visual novels that contain sex. This is a porn game and it does its job very well. Games that can use koikatsu this well will always be top notch.

Meh I would argue for the story side that most girls story have barely started, so it kinda to soon to give an unbiased judgement. Especially since at the start vink kinda just wanted excuse to animate sex scene but he seem to have changed his view on that these last months and he actually trying his best to make somethings entertaining in a record time. which in my opinion he doing more than well. His Mc a change of fresh air and I appreciate his unhinged way instead of an aneurysm inducing Mc that every girls fall in love with for no reason like Ai revolution. As his undisputed biggest supporter it his hard for me to be completely unbiased but if you’re tired of reading boring VN that trying way to hard to be “deep” with a few crumb of porn there and there and want a good unhinged corruption game with dark humor and excellent animation LP is the best in the market RN
