Great update, excellent plot. The night time images at the cabin are too dark, you can't see what is going on.
Hmm. You know, I don't quite agree. True, they are a bit dark, but not to the extent that you can't see what's going on, and it kinda has to be a bit dark since it's a nighttime scene. Have you checked your monitors' settings or did you play it in bright daylight?

I just replayed that part and it is dark but not to the point you can't see any action going on. My guess is they either need to check their monitor settings or something like an external light source is messing with their screen.

Maybe the issue is the text box so they don't know to press H to remove it to actually see behind the letters?

Nope, this is the game where you're blue-balling yourself by refusing to interact with the ladies that are available and willing, and then gripe about it. Keep trying though, I'm sure you'll find the one you were looking for soon enough.
The console for splish splash worked. Macy 1st night wine gallery still not there. Have a save there anyway. Also, thinking it might have to do with renaming saves and getting rid of old persistent data and replacing it with newer. Having it with the dialogue is better anyway

oh i love the game so much the update was so good it was so fun to play the interaction between mc denise and marcy are so well done so lovingly worked out and again so many funny moments and allusions to each other just so good and one of the the best scenes is

uhmm ... I just say marcy and bear :ROFLMAO: just pricelessly good and then again later the one sentence marcy says to denise that's why they just pay attention to such small things that is done well that is also the reason

that that the game is so good and has such a good atmosphere
I can only say it was really worth waiting for the update, even if that's why it is so difficult, keep it up

Damn... I've scrolled past this for ages because I wasn't a particular fan of the art style but I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. This is easily in my top 3 as far as narration. Genuinely strange to see writing of this quality stuck on a ren'py format of all things because it deserves more. Keep it up guys.

Great week for the Dev, gratz to 3rd place in writing!

I'm sorry I've yet to play Heavy Five, and I might not ever because I'm weary of sci-fi titles because most of them suffer from the flaw of limiting technical capacity for the sake of some overwrought plot point, but I truly doubt that the writing is better than this game. A New Home seemed overly contrived, maybe the writing has improved since I last touched it. Freeloading Family is great, but it's great like a good sitcom. Which I guess is what some people want in their writing. I haven't played the DeLuca family yet because I can only take so many indebted-to-mafiosos type games and I'm currently working through 3 or 4 of them... But Naughty actually understands writing as a technical craft. I could take him not getting the overall award. But not getting the writing award? Really? Everything is subjective I guess, but still...

:unsure:
if you mean with Bananas, there are nude scenes starting a few episodes back.
if you mean with secondary/office girls there are some even more nuded scenes for some time also.
yet, if you mean a full-sex scemes with Bananas, then -

The Office ladys are getting it for a while now. If you talk about the roommates ;)
well something happens, but the game takes it's time for sure

I only just tried the game so I can't speak from experience, but looking back at the changelog and dates I honestly feel like the pacing was tastefully done. Maybe they teased a bit but the payoff was well worth it and also objectively rather reasonable by today's standard of patron squeezers. Hell, a lot of the horribly cobbled together "Engrish" filled jerk off material games have taken longer and the quality of the work presented here obviously distinguishes itself. In a world of 'gumdrop games', strive to be a 'naughty road'.

All jokes aside this is my issue as well. From a writing point of view this is the AAA Game or the Major league however you wanna call it.

Not only do you get writing for the characters that is believable to the point you actually care for them early on you also got a scene Setup that interacts with the written dialouge and the narration happens over said background in a scene or literally the background. Thats like understanding that your medium of writing is limited to imagination so you have to tell the emotion or situation over the scene and the background or sound because you could never express the feeling you want to transport over written words alone.

Understanding this issue is one thing. Nailing it from the start a completely different. To give some examples on what i mean.

Right at the start the drunken MC dreams (foreshadowing) of his wife when it is actually Macy. The Reader/Player has no clue yet what exactly happens aside from being drunk. Once the moment happens and he realizes it is macy and not his wife the reader/player also realizes that the same moment the MC does.

Later in the game you to the musem with denise and you can not only see her anxiety you can almost feel it. At first she enjoys watching pictures with you and discussing the topic you see which already can make someone feel out of place but then BOOM the museum gets crowded and denise becomes visible scared. The backround adds sound of a crowd and the dialouge tansfers the rest that it is better to go.

In the new update you get a comfy feeling by cuddling in front of a fireplace and rainfall dropping sounds in which again the dialouge is only the tip of the iceberg finishing the already established scene for the reader/player. That is literally understanding what your written words can and can not do. I see many games describing the scene instead of this.

Remember the bear? Absolutely pointless for some people. But no one can deny they started laughing once macy went full kung fu in the background only to see the bear approach and after he left macy almost jumping over the MC and Denise. Not a single word was used to transport this to the audience. This shit was hilarious from start to finish.

The point i try to make is this. Of course there are some very well written games out there. But setting the scenes to this level of narration without narrating a single word and doing it over the background, scene and added sound effects is something i have never seen anyone do to this level.

And the most important points. The Banana Dance. The Pirate message. The Demon Macy. While the first 2 are actually funny and serve a completely different purpose it is the Demon Macy who got to me. Not because she looks amazing (Thanks for that naughtyroad) but because it reflects her inner demon and the struggle she put herself in. In her eyes she is a monster that needs to be chained down or she will hurt and probably kill everyone around her before ending up alone in a deep cavern again. Chaining herself up there in order to not hurt anyone again.
Denise while most of the time very naive is a loving sister who unchains macy because she knows deep down in hearth that her sister is a loving human being that deserves love and a family that cares about her.

You get that already by the dialouge and the events in the game but to actually portray her that way and give the audience the scene in which you see how she actually feels about herself and how she percieves herself in the world is not only a very powerful message for the future narration of the game, it is setting an example of how a writer would handle this fight with someones inner demon in a book or a novel with exactly this topic.
It also gives the shy and sometimes naive Denise Power over the inner Demon of Macy. Little by little the chains come off. The grief and the self doubt fall apart by the Loving care of Denise.

So you basically get 3 stories in one (MC and his wards fighting the grief they all suffer from including the MC letting his Wife finally go and focus on the future, Denise overcoming her anxiety and shyness in the world, Macy overcoming her guilt and self hatred) with excellent writing, portraying and scenes on a movie level.

That is FAR FAR beyond what anyone has done so far and deserves it's own price in my book.

Edit: And yes i could write entire pages about things that are almost perfect in this game but the mod would probably kill me if i do......

Yea, he leverages the visual aspect of the medium to the max, and that's extremely powerful. But on top of that, he makes great use of the subtlety that permits and then hones in on the mechanics of writing using allegory, foreshadowing, metaphor, powerful motifs, and symbolism to paint a compelling and cohesive narrative, both anticipatable and infinitely flexible within it's confines; like plumbing the depths of a river. I mean it's easy to miss that sort of thing if you're not looking for it, but you don't have to be fucking Harold Bloom to see that he knows how to turn a tale.
