Ren'Py Lust Academy [S4 v4.6.1d] [Bear in the Night]

[NebulousShooter]

Brah Bear in the Night , if you allow the players to play both routes at the same time, make sure the MC doesn't have amnesia about the stuff he knows about Audrey for half her route. Its goofy as fuck the MC being clueless for many conversations then all of a sudden you remember that he is supposed to know about it and add a dialogue change.

My main critique about the game is the dialogue. At times it feels either really stilted or really inorganic. Other times, it doesn't make sense or has quite a few grammar mistakes.

It's nothing terrible, but does become increasingly obvious and sometimes awkward the longer you play.

Haley forgot her first time with the MC and had another one later on. Consistency is not the best thing on here.

yeah, just played that part...

sandbox... there is a choice at the beginning of the sandbox or VN... how can a sandbox be played as an VN?.. maybe it's just a VN disguised as a sandbox?.. It's more like the truth...

Wh not? Sure, there are some gameplay elements missing like the mini games, bt if you take all story scenes of a sandbox game and play them in a certain order, you got a VN.

one excludes the other... the freedom of action of the sandbox and the linearity of the VN... then what is the point of a sandbox if you don't change anything as a result of all your actions?.. grind for grind's sake, what would you like to see a piece of VN?.. in such games, it probably is, but that doesn't make them sandboxes...

Yeah, S1 has some problems with that, sometimes even S2. But we getting better on this with S3

Just described how to change one into the other. Freedom of choice into linearity.

Sandbox does not mean you have many choices (that you have in VNs as well, choices don't make them sandbox games), but that you can decide where to go and what to do next.

And why grind? There are sandbox games without any grind (House Party, Man of the House). Everything in them is event based. The only thing to grind in this game is money and house points to unlock weekend events.

I don't see a contradiction here at all. In a VN, you have a story, told in a particular order, with choices along the way that dictate various things about how that story plays out. In a sandbox game, you can choose which parts of the story to pursue, and in what order, with the addition of other things like mini games to do.

I'm not arguing this particular game does a perfect job of balancing the two, but they can absolutely coexist.

What is a Sandbox Game?
A sandbox game is a type of immersive

that encourages players to explore and interact with a virtual environment. The objective of a sandbox game is for the player to learn about the game’s features, mechanics, and limitations through trial and error.
Sandbox games are typically open-ended and can be characterized by the following elements:

• Players are free to explore the game at their own pace and engage with

  in any order they choose.
• Players are encouraged to experiment and discover different ways to interact with the game world.
• There is no definitive endpoint or “win” condition. The focus is simply on interaction.

Sandbox vs Linear Games
Traditional linear video games have pre-programmed paths that players have to follow in order to win (or beat) the game. In contrast, sandbox video games give players the ability to experiment, and the concept of winning is irrelevant.

Just described how to change one into the other. Freedom of choice into linearity.

Sandbox does not mean you have many choices (that you have in VNs as well, choices don't make them sandbox games), but that you can decide where to go and what to do next.

And why grind? There are sandbox games without any grind (House Party, Man of the House). Everything in them is event based. The only thing to grind in this game is money and house points to unlock weekend events.

House Party, Man of the House... These games are not sandboxes... In your opinion, apparently any game that is not an VN is a sandbox... No, it's not like that...

I don't see a contradiction here at all. In a VN, you have a story, told in a particular order, with choices along the way that dictate various things about how that story plays out. In a sandbox game, you can choose which parts of the story to pursue, and in what order, with the addition of other things like mini games to do.

I'm not arguing this particular game does a perfect job of balancing the two, but they can absolutely coexist.

everyone is crazy about these VN... they are made, they are loved, and some are also trying to disguise their VN as a sandbox... and it turns out to be disgusting... as a result, you grind to see the VN... Both sandbox and VN cannot be compatible... because it's warm and cold, + and -...
and for this site it's probably normal... anal without anal, sleeping sex without sleeping sex, sandbox without sandbox and the ubiquitous VN... they are even where it is not indicated that the game is VN...

"In your opinion, apparently any game that is not an VN is a sandbox "

You should talk about your opinion and not about mine. Actually I see them more as adventure style games, but they are called sandbox games. And I accept that.

According to the definition you posted there are no sandbox games. No game that was ever made (so far) ever meets what you described, starting with the fact that it's impossible to have unlimited opportunities in a limited system. Each opportunity has to be created by someone. ALL so called sandbox games are limited, no matter if VN or not. The only question is where we draw the line, when you acceppt that there are enough opportunities to call it sandbox. Also there's no game that's truely open ended. Sure, you can quit the game after 20 minutes and you have an open ending, but a open end that's actually an end of any kind can't exist.

You know what everyone means when there's talk about adult sandbox games. This game has a sandbox mode. You can accept that or not, but there is no point in discussing it. Lectures won't change that.

But if you ever find a true sandbox game that actually has unlimited opportunities, make sure to let me know.

I didn't think that some developer would bother so much that he would create a decent porn game... It's about how much the game resembles a sandbox at all... but obviously VN can't be a sandbox, just like you can't play a sandbox like VN... That's what I was talking about...

And I didn't take it all out of my head... here's the link, that's where it's all from...

[Nemo56]

None of the games you mentioned have unlimited opportunities (no, not even Minecraft) and most of them are not open ended. Links won't change that.

But I'll just let you be right for the sake of it. If you have something to say about THIS game, this is the right thread for it. For the rest ... not so much. I am sure there is a thread somewhere where they discuss porn game development in general.

In season 2 why does the mod suggest to say no to Amelie (the first time she talk about teaching mc about BDSM)? Seems that this choice will just skip scenes with her, Am I missing something?

Is there any upside to declining Amelie?

 

[Nemo56]

Is there any upside to declining Amelie?

If you're not into her bdsm stuff, then yes.
Everything in this game is optional without consequences (so far).
