VN Ren'Py Lovephobia [v0.80v4] [Kuviragames]

[MiltonPowers]

tbh I only understand English but I always have a tough time noticing bad english or writing in general. As I tend to auto correct stuff in my head So it makes it really tough for me to notice when there is an issue unless there is a obvious typo or something. Which I did notice a few times. Might be why I barley noticed it other than once in awhile if at all. I'm not 100% sure I even did tbh I just more or less can see how some characters can come across like that. Like Zoe for instance at the start when she was really shy and timid around the MC before getting her to open up. She can come across less playful and awkward so I can see early Zoe feeling robotic.

I just finished it now. I sent some of the issues I found through to the dev, but overall outstanding. Very glad I picked it up. It took me a bit to get into it, but by Day 5, I was massive fan and very much in love with Ava (Zoe & Mila are favs too).

I don't think robotic is the right word, but in some instances, the words are correct but written in a way that is not used for speaking or writing in English. (But you can still understand what is being portrayed).

Very enjoyable with lovely, beautiful characters and easy to get lost in the story. I loved it Kuviragames and very much looking forward to where it goes from here.

Kuviragames I was thinking about this while in the shower ( yes I think about this game in the shower and during other times of the day randomly lol). Zoe's mother made it clear I thought how she doesn't want Zoe to get a motorcycle then the MC goes and gets her the jacket and helmet for her Birthday.

Was wondering is her mother gonna make a big deal out of that or anything. I feel she would be a little upset at the MC as it seems like he went behind her back to get her equipment for the vehicle she doesn't want her daughter to drive right after telling him. I was even a little upset at the MC for doing that kind of felt a little shitty to me haha.

Awesome glad you did so I forgot to take screenshots of the mistakes in the dialogue I saw and well I didn't feel like going back to play it again to find them again haha. Was tempted to do so however. ( wasn't alot)

Another whoops but a very happy whoops.

Zoe's mother made it clear I thought how she doesn't want Zoe to get a motorcycle then the MC goes and gets her the jacket and helmet for her Birthday.

No no no. Not at all. In case MC would not buy that present, Zoe's mom would be the one buying it for her. My mom said to me that she is happy that I don't ride motorcycles because it's dangerous. It just an motherly caring thing and I thought it's a good idea to bring it in. It's not like her mom is actively trying to prevent her from getting that license or riding a bike at all.

ah okay. I was wondering cause seemed like the MC was the one that bought the helmet and Jacket. So because of that conversation with the mother , to me it felt like the MC put her in a position where she kind of had to get her a motorcycle now even if it was something she didn't want.

So between those 2 events it kind of came across as something not said in a caring way to me but rather she doesn't want it happen but wasn't actively trying to prevent it either. So that's why when I saw the MC's present im was a little confused after the conversation with the mother as didn't seem like something he'd do after that conversation. That is why I wondering if a small fight would happen cause of it

 

[Kuviragames]

Yes yes. MC bought the biker outfit for Zoe. But..

put her in a position where she kind of had to get her a motorcycle now even if it was something she didn't want.

.. it doesn't matter if he bought it or not, Zoe would still get the licence and a biker outfit. I have to check that part again. Maybe I made Zoes mom look to hard against the motorcycle thing. Linda is fine with it. She just worries a little bit because it more dangerous than driving a car.

You didn't make a comment about me going for the childhood friend?

That's the impression that I got. She wasn't against it, just apprehensive about the danger.

yeah I saw it as that but also I guess just the way the conversation happened to me it felt more like Zoe wants it but her mother doesn't but she wasn't going to do anything to stop her. So that's why I was the gift kind felt like going behind her back to me and why why I asked my original question.

But I didn't get she was going to go for and get the motorcycle license either way , knowing that it makes less of a big deal to me. I guessed I assumed she going to go for a regular license then go for a motorcycle one later.

You didn't make a comment about me going for the childhood friend?

haha I didn't I didn't read that part or forgot but then again not surprising Ava is easily the best , so if you like this game I would assume you would love Ava. Ava was good enough to make it in my top 3 LI. We also have the same order of top 3

That's true, you'd probably have a hard time if you didn't like Ava.

 

[SpyderArachnid]

But there is one thing I want to point out now so that people in the future are not mad or pissed. The game has a true ending. This ending will be the beginning of Lovephobia 2. And it is not the cheating ending.

So yes you will be able to experience that but in Lovephobia 2 the cheating things from both sides never happened. MC also just had sex with Lisa only on the way home. But those are tings future Kuvira has to care about.

I know it's a late response, but... meh lol. I really love this game, but hearing about how the second part will be handled is rather disappointing. It's one of my big dislikes, when you make all these choices in the first game and then when the second comes out, none of those choices mattered.

It just ends up making everything confusing when you start the second game, and everything you did is changed to something else. It causes inconsistencies in each player's playthrough if they didn't pick the choices that are canon. So, when they start the second game, nothing will make sense to them as it will be a completely different game for them. It won't be the same or have the same feeling.

I feel the better option would be to do an import of the previous game into the second game. Have us make a save at the end of the first one, so we can import it into the second and it will carry over all the choices we made. It's better than going into the second game with a completely different storyline than the one they experienced, leading to frustration and confusion. This is the kind of thing that will lead to players being mad or pissed, because most players don't like their choices being ignored and/or not mattering.

I get where your coming from with this , as it comes across that there is really no consequences to your actions.... A fuck around and don't find out sort of situation haha

Some games factor in the consequences incredibly well , now I won't name names but there is one game that if you take money from someone's room in the early game you eventually get challenged on it way down the line and it really surprised me but I also enjoyed it as you are being held accountable for your actions in the game

Yeah, for me, it just removes any emotions and feelings from the game if all your choices are going to be thrown out the window in the second one. It makes you care less about any actions you take when you know it's all going to be ignored in the next game.

I think things like that never bother me because whenever I think of a 2nd game I usually think of it as just an entirely different game. So usually the non canon stuff I see as extra stuff / content for fun. But I blame this on AAA gaming cause what you said does make sense. But I think it also depends on what the 2nd game is gonna be like. For example if the dev doesn't plan to have those same cheating elements in the 2nd game , I can understand why going in a direction where those choices don't matter for game 2. But I totally agree that is one major downside to a canon ending tho it probably makes it easier on the dev side of things so that could be another reason for it.

Here are my two cents that count for today and not for months or 1-2 years in the future. But here is a quote from a few days:

Planned endings to give you a better understanding (hopefully):

1.True ending + best ending! And the recap on Lovephobia 2
2.Ava love + MC cheat + staying together
3.Ava love + MC cheat + breaking up
4.Ava and MC cheating + staying together
5.Ava and MC cheating + breaking up

In my opinion I just won't have the resources to create a new game where all this is available.
And also I don't want to write several version for each character. I mean all those ending have potential to form/change your character. I can't write an Ava in her 30s (10 -15 years after LP1) that got cheated on and/or had a break up / and or she cheated - the same way. All those Ava's would be different in their personalities.
If it would be just like having three routes and the game would be directly after LP1.. sure. But I just don't see a good outcome doing it that way.
Instead I want a clean start and enough room for everything.

And I know that not everyone will be happy with that and I am really sorry but I don't think my mind will change on that.
I am just trying to be realistic here.

tbh I do think a clean start is best anyways. It can just become a branching nightmare especially if there will be a time jump. Tho I would say it would be nice to have 1 canon love and cheating ending for the 2nd game for those that do assuming cheating gonna be part of game 2 as well. But then when you add in all the characters then all of sudden that is 8 paths to account for roughly ( assuming every character has a love path / cheating ending) , ontop of any new branching that occurs.

Also will the 2nd game have a canon ending for all the LI or only Ava. Cause while I love Ava would be nice for a canon ending for the other 3 as well. ( I vote for throuple for the Zoe one)

I have absolutely no idea yet. I don't even know what will happen at all. That's also a reason why I won't create LP2 after LP1. I need time and more experience and everything before I start with LP2. The only thing that I know is how the Canon part will end and how LP2 will kinda start. But that's it. And for now I want to focus on LP1 before giving LP2 to much thoughts yet.

no worries just figure id ask since the subject was brought up. I'm not that much of a fan of talking about sequels or the next game until the current 1 is finished or close to the finish line

 

[Avaron1974]

The next game doesn't need multiple starting points. Nothing wrong with having a canon path.
