Ren'Py Lust Academy [S3 v3.10.1d] [Bear in the Night]

[talion777]

By the way, when we discuss "poor writing," are we referring to awkward dialogue or a weak overall storyline? These are two distinct issues. If everything was poor, I doubt you would continue playing our game Currently, we are focusing on improving our dialogue system, so if that's what you're referring to, we're making progress in the right direction.

I loved the game initially. I liked the story, the setting and the characters and it was in my top handful of games as far as eagerly awaiting releases went. As it has progressed there have been too many characters incorporated into the story, and in order to incorporate them the story has had to take a number of silly tangents. The main story line was diluted by these tangents and the dialogue had become ludicrous. After a while I was less eagerly awaiting the new updates and then I was just going back after I didn't have any others to play that I wasn't current on. Then I quite simply gave up because it became too silly to continue playing. I have dropped in on occasion to see if there was any commentary on the storytelling improving, but based on the overall weight of the commentary it seems like it's getting even worse than when I stopped.

It just seems to me like the game became too ambitious in its scope and forgot what it was that made it entertaining in the first place. All of the components of the game have become diluted, the characters flat and uninspired, and the magic and combat systems had failed to develop to their potential. The lewd scenes weren't anywhere near enough to overcome the faults. I think this is a great shame because while we understand that these are porn games the ones that really bring their supporters back in large numbers are the ones that have solid writing and focus. Sometimes it's just simply that less is more. Focus on a smaller cast and really develop those characters while narrowing the scope of the story to give more cohesive and better quality storytelling (and dialogue. dear God, some of the dialogue)

my two cents.

Hey!
What the latest version did you play?

 

[Solomon Grundy]

How to unlock the closed door in MC's bedroom?
How to make the potion number 6/6, since one of the ingredient cannot be found?

As far as I know, that door is impossible to open. As for the potion, if it's the one that lets the MC have sex with Aubrey, you need to harvest a flower from the fountain on Tuesday nights for each dose.

I bought both games in steam to support the author.
First game was amazing, story telling was good, scenes were top gun. But then I tried to play the second game.
We are supposed to play a Not-Harry Potter character with a difficult life at home that comes to a magic learning school.
(Bear in the Night I am not attacking you keep in mind I enjoyed immensely your 1st one, and I couldn't care for the story for the 2nd)
My Pet peeves are :
1) the names that the MC calls the girls. Aren't we supposed to be someone that values his girls a bit more?
2) how easy the girls are. All the girls, even the teachers act as if they are starved for attention.
3) the story diluted so much it is not even worth following anymore.

Some of the fixes I can suggest is limit the number of romance-able characters, you have way too many, you don't limit the choices and this makes you "forced" to include the romance for all of them. Clean the MC's vocabulary a bit and try to make the game have some more actual choices.

Potion 6/6
If I remember right you can Not make the "Toothache Potion"
(Whilst we "could" learn it ( In Chapter Two) we could never make it)
I though that we might be able to get the missing ingredient from Willow,
But we never got the option to ask her for it,

Hey!
What the latest version did you play?

I believe that the last version I played was 2-1.7.1d. It might have been one release later. I did some house cleaning in my games folder

 

[Zafeiro]

Is it worth it to download version 1.11.1d if the last version i played is 1.11.1b or should i just go to season 3? I downladed season the current build (season 3) without knowing i need the 1.11.1d to transfer the save files and i really dont want to download 1.11.1d if its not necessary. Is there different content in 1.11.1d than in 1.11.1b? I thought the latter was were it was ending?

 

[Ice Pop]

So I decided to give Lust Academy a shot, and I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of the art and animations they might be the best I've seen, and they aren't slow like a lot of avns tend to be.

5 hours in, having a great time with it.

 

[jackkane]

Why does Haley act like she's never seen the MC's cock before? Why does the MC act like it's his first time with Haley? Didn't he pop her cherry in Season 1? And that corny dialogue...

this dev really suck continuity, and giving victoria good scenes. well he held her hand...see you in year 4.

 

[jackkane]

so that Ashley saying Don molested her...was that just a straight up lie or what?

 

[jackkane]

god this dev's continuity sucks it's like he forgot the mc already made a potion to protect himself from audrey in the 1st season. the mc in season 3 acts like he never had sex with audrey before.

Will we ever get some real progress with Victoria? Feels like TONS of new chars get introduced yet NOTHING happens with her...

Yeah I'm starting to think that's by design. I'm disappointed as well

 

[RixtheSpartan]

The MC uses the term "Baby" more then Duke Nukem. Makes him sound like a jock prick.....

MC is as cool as Duke Nukem
And how would you replace this word?
