VN - Ren'Py - Loot Line [S1 Steam] [Candylight Studio]

Very Smooth Animation however some of the animation can be polished a little on some scenes over all it's a very good game and I'm looking forward for more this game has a lot of potential so thanks to the developer for sharing there work and allowing us to play.

Visually pleasing, renders, animations etc. Obviously "inspired" by One Piece.

It's hard to imagine the person responsible for the dialogue is playing with a full deck of cards though. I wouldn't even say it was just badly translated. You have females comparing hangovers to abortions, what is supposed to be banter with the man who apparently brought you up (even though a simultaneously occurring and completely different back story is given shortly after) consists of you telling him he's a cu*t and you wish he was dead, The king of the elves who has no male heir but needs you to impregnate his daughter so he can take over the world, tries to kill one daughter and then gives his only other daughter into slavery straight after.... I mean the stupidity just doesn't stop.

2 star for the animations and character design, would have given 3 for the concept but whilst promising it is not original, so a distinct lack of effort that I will not encourage by promoting it.

My emotions on the game and this is my personal opinion: when I saw a new game from the gods, the creators of Lust city 2, I thought, oh yeah, this will be a masterpiece. But everything is known in comparison. Loot line is such a huge step back. There is no harem, the girls are not clickable, they are selected by text, there are not many girls, and you have to go back to the save to look at others, there is shitty futa (I hate futa, it is not optional), there are also no angles during scenes, no choice of poses. All this and the short game made me think that Lust city2, although the top 1 game for me among all porn games, but .... Now you should not be happy about the next project of this developer, because they can release such crap. In Loot line, no matter how many sequels there are, I will not play. There is no choice of poses like before, it doesn't matter that the graphics are just as good, there is a futa that can't be changed to a normal girl, there is no freedom of choice like in Lust city, I went and clicked on that one, then on that one, when I want. And since this is not a harem, thank God that they haven't added the hated ntr yet, but still... Choosing from all 1 is boring. This happens in real life. You choose one, get married and blah blah blah until old age. Android ports are released rarely, swipe only works in some ports, you can't save, which means that having made a choice without a harem, you already go to the end with the same ones. No, thanks, I'd rather play Lust city 2. It's a masterpiece. And this is trash.

It's a porn game for porn game lovers. It's as simple as that. The renders are good, the models are good, the story is okayish, but not bad really. Updates are regular which can be said for many games here. IMO, this game deserves more support.

Yet another kinetic novel with no tag, its just a simple fuckfest without any choices that can change anything.

It put me off already a few mins in when MC starts fucking a prostitute, im just not into that and given 0 choices its just bland and pointless.

Goes without saying theres 0 romance 0 build-up, so might as well just fast forward if you want to look at the animations with shitty sound effects.

English is pretty poor

Renders are pretty good atleast and story could have had potential if you had any controle over MC.

No clue why dev thinks everyone is into everything or how forceing sex scenes people might not want to see can be a good thing? but it is what it is and thats not for me.

Thought about giving it 2 stars due to renders but the lack of controle and writting, really poor sounds in sex scenes and all the other things i just cant.

Cum on a sea adventure with Thomas as he journeys to find one piece... urrr... the loot line! While recruiting sluts... urrr... crew members to fuck... urrr... help on his endeavours into their honey pots... urr...the vast seas!

The ladies are pretty hot in this one, even some that aren't human look pretty good. The sex scenes are pretty high quality, and the animations come in different angles and are pretty smooth and well rendered.

The overall look of the game is decent, nice use of lighting and focus. One particular amazing render caught me by surprise, which is of their boat at night with the lighting strike. Very nice!

The story is interesting enough. There is mystery to the origins of the protagonist and his crew members, but that's just part of the reveal as you get further into this adventure.

I'm shocked there's not much interest for this game, as it's definitely worth a try in the least. It's got great adventure vibe, action packed story, and plenty of sex. This update was surprisingly long and I'm looking forward to the next update. Great work!

Loot line [v0.12]

A good-looking and working game, mostly.
Fairly good renders that are too dark most of the time.
Horrible Engrish, I mean very bad.
The story/plot is okay; it has potential.
No bugs that I encountered. It's in Renpy, the GUI, saves and loads, work fine.
Minus 2 for the Engrish and minus 1 for the darkish renders.
I do not recommend the game at this time. Hopefully, things improve.

VERSION: v0.12
SUMMARY: Unique in a way but doesn't feel polished enough to call it good.
RATINGS: (out of 5): 2.5 Stars at best

1. Models: 4
2. Animations: 4
3. General Visuals: 3
4. Characters: 2
5. Story: 2
6. Writing: 2
7. Pacing: 4 (in terms of lewd)
8. Content (amount): X
9. UI & Sounds: 2
10. Fetish & kinks: X

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

PROS:

1. Unique story, at least the world that is created so thats a plus, other than that its simplistic
2. Models and renders are decent all round.
3. Animations are fairly decent also
4. Pace at what you get your first lewd scene is quick so in terms of that its decent.
5. Music and sounds are nice.
6. Sexual/lewd scenes and animations are decent, interface allows for some different angles and adjustment. Also some lewd sounds are included which is nice.

CONS:

1. Writing feels a little "unprofessional" but that could just be because of the style, pirates and that era being often not very educated. Speech and thus writing just is a bit stupid.
2. Overall the dialogue needs some revision, clearly English is not the devs native language.
3. Characters are meh, the MC really does sound and seem like a moron, which IMO does throw the player off a bit. The MC acts and doens't think, not much goes through his head and if I didnt know better Id think you are playing a comedy.
4. While the story has a unique setting, the way it unfolds and is written is complete bullshit
5. UI is a bit simple, not sure why there is a ? every now and then, there doesn't seem to be any options on screen or items that are highlighted or interactable nor any choices so I don't understand what the dev is driving at.

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• Per above con on naming, it really feels and sounds silly calling these eras such uninteresting names, that includes the game name "loot line" wtf? Again why not call the game Mother of Pearl or whatever the hell else...sorry just my 2c...
• Lack of effort with things like naming, "big flood era" come on...why not just then call it a Time of Squalor and play on the word squall at least thats a little more original ffs...
• Speaking of stupid, the first impression you get of the MC is that he is a drunkard asshole, not always great to create an MC that the player doesn't like. Unless that is what you going for of course.
• Clearly a game that is not meant to be "good" and probably prefers to be simple and just good or semi-good fap content, for that its ok, anything else or more sophisticated at least in terms of story then look someplace very very far from here.
• Many issues for me with the story e.g. the MC springs a random chick from slavery, makes her a navigator of a ship he is the sole crew member of and ofc "captain" but has not a dime to his name and acts more like he just stole the ship more than own it. She also seemingly immediately trusts him when he decides he will find what other can't and kill all these "sea rulers"...wow, only that, not conquer the world too while at it? Oh and don't forget the chick he springs has superpowers apparently (sensing shit and night vision and telescopic vision and God knows what else). Then randomly our drunk MC has a brain fart through his generally comatose drunkard disposition, taps into some mystical ability that instantly sobers him and he kicks some ass...Maybe im just not "cool" enough to appreciate this bullshit... at least not when there is not decent background to the MC or a sense of realism to all this. Again my opinion ofc
• I also find it rather odd the MC gets into scraps with so few pirates, i mean his 2 vs another 2 pirates? Where are the dozens of pirates and sea battles that have more than 2 crew per side? Also is able to crew and manage a ship with 2 people, must be a tiny sloop...even if it doesn't look like it, but what do I know...
• Bottom line, this games story and writing is filled with so much bullshit, you kinda do have to play it for the lewd only because there is nothing else, though to be fair its written so bad its actually fun to read and comical as a result. The game shows a lack of evening attempting something interesting on the writer and developers side and while the previous game The Lust City was not great either it was a fair deal more coherent than this drek...
