VN Ren'Py Lovephobia [v0.50] [Kuviragames]

[Kuviragames]

Really solid game, I have enjoyed it and am excited to see what comes next.

My one suggestion is maybe some minor choices that don't change much but dialogue or maybe 1-2 extra renders. You make a good amount of choices early, then it feels like you are in rails, with not many choices. I think maybe something like in bed with Ava chance to grab butt or book, won't go anywhere, but will add a little something and playful banter. Or you are getting ready to leave house, and have a choice to sya something, won't change story buts adds a little flair.

I suggest this cause I loved having choice, and later on it feels more kinetic, so even just small meaningless choices to add some flair and keep palyers engaged. But its just a suggestion, you can do what you want and I'll respect your decision.

Overall really good game though, keep up the great work.

Thank you very much. I think that is actually a good idea. I don't want the game to feel to much like an kinetic novel.

Honestly it's probably best to keep the netorare tag for the other stuff anyway, you know how certain people can get on this site lol

It is probably a lose-lose situation.

Nah, don't bother with those - unless you attach some sort of "worth" to these choices, they are a waste of dev time.

Every choice offered in a VN should "lead" to the story changing in some way, shape, or form.

I think there is no harm in doing some minor extra scenes. For example I am currently working on a birthday scene. And you will have to choice to start singing happy birthday or not. For the story it doesn't matter but I still think it's a nice touch.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. But yes if you want to avoid any kind of that feelings you should skip my game/AVN.

It isn't a tag thing at all. I just figured to make a silly joke duderino Keep doing what makes you happy! It takes more effort to be rude lol.

Okay so full disclosure I legit just came here bc I saw an opportunity for a cheap neutral~ish joke bc at the end of the day there's no such thing as comedy if somebody doesn't get kicked in the dick but for real I am neutral on the overarching never-ending-war subject.

XYZ I DL'd the yadig bc after a bit of thinking like, "damn the Dev understood that I meant no harm."

I wasn't even gonna try this bc of just 8 animations.
However.

Avagrind1 flat out looks weird bc the camera is pointed straight down the cock hole.
EatoutAva could be a little more in the air and pointed at an angle towards that invisible pillow. Would be nice to see some sideboob or cleavage.
GrindingLisa1 looks like a springboard made out 'pain for pleasure'.
HotelSex fast&slow shows one fullish cheek and maybe a total of half of the one on the right. No thigh, no sideboob, no hair throwing. Also dude's just kinda sitting there like the dead guy in Clerks.
LisaGrind2 again the camera is in direct eye contact with the penis head. Hot dogging / grinding is the perfect position where 'less is more'. Show titties jiggling or some ass~slapping.
LisaSex1 is a perfect example of a camera angle where there is almost nothing shown and something I have picked a bone with in a few other threads. We see one female boob and one man butt.
LisaDoggy2 is a solid angle! the timing of the female & male animations could be tweaked a bit. Like right now it straight up looks like she reacts the 100% dicking like a robot afterthought of, "oh, skin contact? I can compute those".

If this is your first project, high fkn five!

I totally agree with the animations. It's just a giant pain in the ass to create them. Preview is not fluid and rendering takes several hours and if you realize a mistake you can render it again. Getting a fluid in/out animation without the dick bugging out is in a lagging preview window.. well annoying as hell. My PC probably can't handle that well I guess or I missing something crucial.

You're rendering as image series not direct to IYUV from daz right?

IYUV is a video codec, right?
But yes I am rendering an image series and edit that in adobe premiere and then convert it to an webm file.

My god I think I got a cavity or two from them MC Ava scenes. Their back and forward banter is immaculate. Was kinda iffy on the MC at the start. But man he really grew on me. But uh.... dev might be doing too good a job making a case for staying faithful. Not to say the other girls are bad or anything but bruh. Only one rivaling her in any capacity for me, is her sister. If at any point they become a possibility together. This will be the most straightforward VN with optional relationships. I've ever played.

Then you got they moms who seems ready to go. Now I obviously doubt it would be a thing. Don't seem that type of VN.... however. I'm just saying, I'm ready to turn that family tree into a closed loop. And everyone else can do whatever they want over somewhere else.

I am really happy to hear that. I have the most fun currently writing Avas and Zoes paths.

I loved the game and I'm starting to follow it.

There is a harm. It might be a nice touch, but it harms development (even if it delays the “real” renders only by a day, it’s detrimental) since those branches have no bearing/consequences. It’s pure fluff, and it’s best not to go down that rabbit hole…

Noooooo. Don't worry. I really think a lot about where to put it extra scenes/choices or not. It doesn't mean that any day will contain choices. And if I need 2-3 days longer shouldn't be such a big deal. It's my first game, I am still experimenting.

In the most literal sense sure. Like a pop on the forehead technically harmed you. Time spent on fluff takes away from time spent elsewhere. But every choice don't need to lead somewhere. Some of us just enjoy the little things that help immerse into what's going on. Plus the MC's life ain't exactly all that bombastic with urgency. Sure it got a couple moments. Your mom, Ava's mom, Ava's boss, etc. But it ain't really calling for earth moving choices atm.... unless I overlooked something. Hell the dev could go back and remove/tone down some of the current paths. And it really wouldn't harm the flow of things.
Granted, I am also on the Ava fan train which damn near demands more fluff so.... I'll admit my bias.

yup likewise... the overall tone of this to me is fun times with ava so i love to see more (i realize theres more behind the scenes planned but thats still the game ill be playing )

Guys I absolute love your answers but don't expect to much. That's my first game ever and I just started 5 Months ago. But what I can spoiler so far is that the next update 0.50 is halftime (Zoes birthday).Then all the introductions and blah is done.
