VN Ren'Py Long Road Home [Ep.16] [OBDGames]

[Marty McLean]

Ok, Rogues. We know that Jessy and the OL's are aware of Rin and Hanako but do we want to petition Dim for a bit of substance of their council meeting about hierarchy in the family?

Great update, fantastic job as usual, keep it up!

Ha! Perhaps... I mean, I like the AVN, especially the beginning when they discovered the club and started making friends, so I was not trying to slam it or anything, but I usually just get attached to a couple of the LIs and the others just kind of blend together. As the story moves along and more LIs are added to the mix, it just means more time between the ones I am really interested in. So I hope you didn't take it to mean I don't like the AVN, because I do.

No offense taken. It' a fair and oft made criticism. The reasons there are so many girls in the game are I'm a big perv and I don't have an editor standing over my shoulder saying, "Hey dumbass, we've got plenty of girls in the story already!".

I've all but quit looking at new characters when I check out Daz or the other the places I buy game assets. I was bad about seeing an asset and saying oh she's hot and write her into the story somewhere. I have well over a hundred girls that aren't in the game...

In my mind there's only a hand full of intended LI's with a lot of (too many for some folks) side pieces. Your point about having too many reduces the amount of screen time is valid. It's further exacerbated by playing a game as it's being developed. Once a game is completed, time is compressed so you don't feel the long gaps in time between seeing the girl you're interested in.

I used to poll my supporters as to who the most popular girls were and try to make time for them in the story, but it began to hinder my creativity and telling the story the way I wanted to. Because of that, I haven't run poll in years.

The bottom line is, I'm mindful of the issue, but I'm going to continue to tell the story the way I want to tell it. Case in point, MC gets shot and logically ends up in the hospital. Now should I had have said, I have too many girls in the game so the doctor and nurse will have to be males. Or just have him be a "Chad" and say fuck the hospital I'm just going to rub some dirt on it...

Is the game a VN or KN? And if it's a VN, is lesbian sex avoidable or forced, and are all love interests forced, or does the player have a choice? I saw that it's a harem, and if lesbian sex is forced and the women in the harem are having sex with each other without the MC present, then it's not a harem, but polyamorous. In a harem game, it should only revolve around the MC, and all the women should only have eyes for him. They shouldn't have sex with other people in or outside the harem unless they are with the MC and he gives permission. (Translated with Google)

You have to many preconceived ideas of how everything is supposed to be in your perfect harem. I think you should look elsewhere for a less complex story friend.

 

[Dimitri57]

Not a big deal but if you go for the "caligula" option (May the curse of Rome be upon you btw) for the scenes involving Nikki and Charli -which we sure know you inevitably will, pervs-, no matter how you answer the following question about Girl-Girl scenes, you won't be able to avoid the goddamn lesbian scenes of these chicks. Cos the dev apparently left out the code that would negate the "Girl-Girl" option. Given his general tendencies, this could be considered a kind of Freudian slip ig. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I tracked the problem down. The fuck up was a flag in the Caligula option that negated the no girl-girl choice. Try the attached ep16 script. You should be spared having to view carpet munching activity.

I'll add it to a hotfix later.

Perfect Harem? 3 or more women who are totally devoted to the MC and each other. As Jessy said it "Family"(with benefits).
Yes the women may have fun with each other but MC is the one and only guy.
So far, of all the girls in LRH, only Simone and Megan are fucked but excluded from the Harem. Barf is NEVER going to get close to Ryker's dick except when RMC/CMA all stand around and piss on her mutilated corpse.
Dee, Tracy, Kat, Sadie, Nora and (I hope soon) Piper will not be true Harem but revered and loved just as much.
Some of the LI will not be Harem but tight Inner Circle(Reba, Twila, Kelly, Oksana, Ashley, Chloe).

Just a heads up, the nicknames are a bit messed up with Nikki and Charli. It's constantly checking to see if you're using Nikki's nickname and using that for Charli instead of checking for Charli's.
Like this :


As near as I can tell it's doing that for every conversation from the moment the game prompts you if you want to use one with Charli when she arrives at the Fox (I said no, which might be the only reason I noticed it so much - "You're not my "Babygirl", dammit!" ).

 

[clitcommander]

You guys key in on the weirdest stuff...

But my immersion!
Seriously though how can you not notice? It is right next to that juicy booty.

I don't have clue as to what "it" is you're referring to. Is that an auto function?

Huh? No, that's a screenshot showing the URM (universal ren'py mod) screen for one of the conversation prompts.

Basically every time you talk to Charli from the time she comes to the club for her tryout the game checks to see if you're using a nickname, except instead of checking to see if you're using a nickname with Charli, it's mistakenly checking to see if you're using them with Nikki ("Babygirl" / "Daddy" etc).

As a result even if you select that you don't want to use a nickname with Charli it ends up using Nikki's anyway (assuming you are using one with her) because it's checking for the wrong variable.

You may need to replay Episode 14. I added a question about if you wanted relations with Nora or not. Initially it wasn't there so people were forced to be with Nora whether they wanted to or not. If you played Episode 14 before I added that question, then your persistent files won't have the answer to that question captured.

I got you. It's working right then. I didn't make separate pet name coding for Carli. When Charli asks about using the nickname, she asks if she can use the same one as Nikki's. It's the same with Della when she teases MC using Angel's nickname. It would have been a coding nightmare having two different characters with two different nicknames in the same scene. I took the easy way out and had them share the nickname. Is it not understandable when you are reading the dialog in the scene?

No, it's not confusing in the conversation, and I get why you set it up that way, but even if you say you don't want to use a nickname with Charli it uses it anyway if you're using one with Nikki since that's the one the game checks for.


See even though it's set to False whenever you talk to Charli it's using Nikki's True variable because the game checks to see if that one's active.

All of Charli's conversations like this one... :

...should actually be checking "mc_use_charli_nickname_yes" instead of checking "nikki_use_mc_nickname_yes" or "mc_use_nikki_nickname_yes".

That way if you decline to use a nickname with Charli at the door when the game asks if you want to, you'll either correctly call her Pink or Charli instead of "Babygirl" or whatever nickname you've got set up for Nikki.

MC calls Nikki Tink then Charli asks to use the same pet names as Nikki but when you say yes MC calls her Babygirl, is that still working as intended?

i need like a character chart, even a rudimentary one

 

[sisco1986]

i liked the update but... why did you skip the first day of the surfer chick working in the strip club? i tough that was going to be used to introduce her to the other girls but it wasn't even part of the story

It's on the OP

Hm i dont think there is a possibility to set a nickname for charli.

The choice either the same nicknames like nikki&mc or no nickname (yet) so it seems everything is right
