Ren'Py - Lustworth Academy [v0.5.3] [ImpactXPlay]

Unga Bunga

Translation:
"Yeah idk. I really wasn't all that impressed with this one. As a long time fan of Bully, this sounded like the best thing since sliced bread but I just feel it doesn't hit the right notes for me.

- Gameplay
Ren'Py style point and click, rollback available, and has elements of a free roam. However it also, much like Bully itself, is linear with how you do things. It's got it's good and bad. The bad I'd like to point out is the way you move around, nothing grinds my gears more than having to fight for my life trying to find the exit button. Sometimes it's obvious, other times it's a faint or vague light up that you just barely notice. Otherwise nothing too out of the ordinary.

- Storyline
You are "Insert Name" and you are 18 and here to finish your last year of school. It's important you know that he is 18. You end up at the toughest school in the country and are surrounded by horny people all the time. It's a parody so it follows the game loosely, some of the dialogue is just straight from the game but I feel like that's not a huge thing to worry about though. Some characters are back and some characters lack being there, mainly being swapped for another female to add to the roster. But it's not just a parody of Bully, noooo they brought in ALL the pop culture media references. It's funny to see but really it's just like why? Couple that with the linear line story and well it just seems flat.

- Content
It's got a decent amount so far, big thing is focusing on the girls as the linear storyline goes along. Typically you'll get a mixed bag of a lot of content but again for certain girls. Which I think is smart to do as the roster is rather big right now.

- Artstyle
It's not bad, though it does remind me of those OLD flash sex games like "Trinity all star" or "Personal Trainer", still at the very least the girls look okay. It's everything else that I have a dig about. It's not consistent AT ALL. It goes from pixel art, to Ai art, back to the art used for the girls. It just looks bad, I'd like to think it's just placeholders for now but I highly doubt it.

- Overall
Like I said it's not bad but it's not amazing either. For a parody it seems to push the jokes and humor rather than actual storytelling. Idk why, maybe just because of the similar setting, but I get hints of Summertime Saga vibes from where the story is heading with the mayor and all that.

I want to like it but it's just not for me."

Lustworth Academy v0.5.1b.
I played this game a while back but didn't touched it for awhile.
It is intresting how the developer totally rewrites the beginning and other progresses with characters aswell.

So how is it in this current version ?
The game in a sense has a very unique art style, if you would put without any context images of this game in a bundle of 10 other games it stands out immediately. The pixel art and drawing style are a breath of fresh air.
However i have to be honest here, at times (like a hand few times) are certain drawings that aren't very pretty/sexy.

I did encounter several bugs while playing , such as an example the game says I need to go the boys dorm living room, but every time I go there at different times at different days nothing happens. There's also a recurring bug with class progress: the game indicates I've completed 1/2 of a class, but it never progresses further, even after repeated attempts. The replaying of gallery is at times very broke and doesn't load past events that happened except like a few days past or so and they suddenly appear.

So in conclusion, a unique art style with a nice spin on Bully game by rockstar, sexy girls, with some great animations are sadly spoiled by small bugs and the constant "this will be implemented in the next update" messages. I would say i give it a 4/5.

It's a decent game so far, like the mechanics and the characters, the art style is top notch.
The bad is the lack of of direction and the unfinished locations., you need to spam every location over and over to advance
A walk through would be a nice temporary fix but it needs to be more complete with more content before it's ready for prime time

This game has been excellent, genuinely one of the few times I have enjoyed one of these games lately. I'm looking forward to more updates for this one. The only downside is it's somewhat short so far, not a lot of content to it.

Good Music, funny writing, original characters and designs look good and diffrent.
Not broing to read. though it could use a map or way to indicate places, in the beginning you just click around looking for places.

Overall the game is great so far. The text-to-sex ratio is good, you don't have to read entire romans until something happens, there's a lot of love for detail and the sex scenes are animated and very good looking.

What really stands out to me is the sound design: Everywhere on the campus you can hear background noise and even other studens having dialouges or saying things (like really understanding what they say, not just mumbling). And there's some nice background ambience and fantastic music. In terms of atmosphere this one is very special.

What puts me off a bit right now is that around every 2nd corner I face "this part is under construction" or "more content available in future updates" or "this minigame will be implemented later".

There's too much under construction imo, it's a bit tearing down the experience. Would've preferred if they finished what's there and then expand from there on in a clever way, so that everything that's available yet can be fully enjoyed and only the newest stuff might be under construction.

It's a bit disappointing to see so many cool places or characters that you want to explore but can't yet.

V0.40.5

where is the game?
MC constantly referred to as jimmy even though i chose a different name.
right from the start you get notification of a mini game 'in future content'.
took no time at all to complete content with no classes left to attend and no weekend content either.
there is some party i need to buy outfit for but have yet to see any way implemented to do this as it is all just deadend after deadend.

nearly four years in the making should not produce any of the above.

my advice, forget it exists, or if you are fool enough to be funding, get your money back. maybe that will get this dev producing but don't hold your breath

I wish I could like Lustworth academy but I really can't.

The girls look well and are well animated, the setting is really not that bad but man is the art style inconsistent, blurry painting like backgrounds mixed with a pixel art style mixed with characters that look entirely different from that, it's just a mess.

Any one of those styles are reasonably well done but it does not form match.

Story wise there just isn't much, or at least it feels like it, lots of dead ends things that will be implemented in the future, meanwhile there are still sex scenes just the story between them is rather lacking.

Honestly at the current pace of development, I highly doubt it will ever be fixed, so for me I would recommend you to just skip it.

There may be potential but it just isn't capitalized on.

Jesus Christ. The headache I got from 5 minutes of the absolute shit background imaging. So painful to try to view. So terrible considering the great art shown in front of that shitstorm oh so briefly was on par with being great. Too bad the headache was so severe that I could only take just a few minutes of this game before having to run from it screaming

The nice art doesn't make up for the directionless path it has taken, Seems to have no end goal in mind. The story has gotten no where, the H scenes added are just randomly placed in unrelated ways, like login to computer to get to a random hallway of doors and see girls haphazardly added to the game. Wanna court the girls you started to make a relationship with, sorry no new content but you can click until you can fuck Mulan so that's cool i guess.

I will give 3 stars
the art is good and at first it had an interesting proposal but with each update it started to get bad.
I think the game is going the wrong way, there are a lot of girls and very little interaction with them.. it lacks more dialogue options and varied situations in different locations on the map.. these last updates are very weak to tell the truth, the developer should should give more credibility to the school and put the girls there in various situations, there's the gym, the classroom, the debate room, the dorms and nothing much happens anywhere, I'll just follow the added content without playing, I'll wait A major update really comes out that gives depth and meaning to the game because the way it is there is no difference in playing and opening a tab in Rule34.

The art is genuinely great, the game is paced how I want a porn game to be paced, the writing is nothing special but does its job. Also the Bully nostalgia is welcome since R* can't be arsed to provide a sequel. One of the best games of its kind on this website.

If it was a larger project racking up tens of thousands a month on Patreon I'd dock point for the content production being a tad slow, but as it's still in hobbyist project range, that's fine.

>10/10 art
>every scene is animated in a high level animation
>almost no grinding, virtually every interaction ends up in sex
>a wide variety of types of females (some are in early development right now, so I'm very excited to see what is about to come!)

I might have a new favorite game. What a gem!

The game is random as hell, i never know whats going on. Sometimes there is a narrative and other times there is not. Art is pretty good and animations are okay. Started off good but got proggressivly worse. if you want consistent story this game is not for you but if you want random sex then it is.

Version 0.3

Fun game, great art. It does feel a bit light on content for the amount of time it's been in production, but devs have to work at whatever pace they're able to. What's here is really good. Looking forward to more fun with the girls at the house. Loved the scenes with all of them so far.

Great work, devs!

How can I not like a game that I have even translated into my native language?
The question is rhetorical.
But seriously, the art in the game is fun. Both pixelated and regular 2D. The text is simple, the story is uncomplicated. In addition is based on my favorite game.
I give it a 4 out of 5.

review based on 0.22.a version
PRO:
- art
- animations
NEUTRAL:
very early development stage, ig content for 30-40 min(depent on reading speed)
CONS:
- very primitive code, its mean- in future dev ll rewrite code and that also mean no future compatibility
- some bugs like fiona_interaction->quest_action->same_fiona_interaction. home location have some same
- backgrounds... many of them remembering my old cga/ega/hercules monitors, but i have no nostalgy, just bloody tears. minus 1 star for that. dev, if u r maincraft fan- place warning to save innocent people.
- 1.5 years development and such a miserable result... sadly

there no conclusion, cuz very early development stage(demo/concept stage) and in fact there no gamplay now. my real rating was 3.5 and after flip a coin became 4

5 stars.
The sex art is amazing, original, and has great placement and motion.
The regular art is a delightful retro throw back.
Every complaint I once had (lack of guidance/WT, lack of gallery) had I rated it before has been added or resolved by this point.
It's unquestionably in my top 20 games now and probably sitting somewhere in the top 10.
Play if you haven't.

It might be too early to give this game a full review, but I already have good feelings about it. It;s been receiving steady updates, the art is good, and it doesn't suffer the issue of barely having any lewd content. Even in the promo the game strikes a good balance of making you wait for main characters for it to feel rewarding but letting you bang plenty of side characters to keep you entertained.

Absolutely fantastic parody of various medias. Artwork is fantastic, a mix of pixel and animation that is wonderful change of pace from anime-styles and 3d. The developer has a real gem here, minigames are entertaining and are a fantastic imitation of the Bully game's.

The quest log is a bit disjointed but that's frankly such a small thing to be almost below notice. Very well written, drawn, animated. This is something to watch with great interest as it develops further.
