VN Ren'Py Maids and Maidens [v0.11.0] [Raybae Games]

[-CookieMonster666-]

MC has been fucking Laura herself, which her daughters are aware of; I'm pretty sure that he also took Jameela's virginity (which Laura helped with), and from what I remember both daughters know about it; then there's less-bitchy daughter (don't remember the name), who tries to fuck the MC before getting caught by the rest of the family.
Ally and Tiffany has a drunken-horny scene in a taxi.
I'd say that Sam does counts as a LI, since she has her own affection counter + a HJ scene with a transparently clear hint at a future continuation.
As for the relationships - tag "Harem" doesn't requires any "official" or "mutually admitted" relationships. And even then - the way story goes, MC is already has several LI's who can be treated seriously, so it's clearly can be counted as a Harem. That is even without mentioning the fact that the dev himself in the OP lists "Harem" among the genres.

Ofc, you say the dev himself has listed "harem" and so this should qualify, but then you also say Sam's a LI even though the dev has explicitly said she is not.

The relationship do matter because if not then a large percentage of games on this site would need to add the tag Harem. I've dated 5 girls at same time and they all knew it but i wouldn't consider that a Harem because i was not in a relationship with any of them. Basicly a fuck buddie type thing. And so far that's what we got here. As of right now they just fuck buddies.

I'm a bit confused, are we talking about "harem" as a porn-game genre or as a real-world concept? If it's latter, then your mentioning "MC having sex with multiple women" has little to do with it - while I'm not much of an expert on this theme, I'm pretty sure that real-life harems are built on the idea of "spreading marriage duties between multiple wives", with every wife having her own different role in it (and sex doesn't necessary involved in them). If it's the former though, then you're just nitpicking at the genre itself. Many other games of this site also have this tag, with or without any "relationships" or "feelings" in them (as an extreme example - rape/chikan games).

Ofc, you say the dev himself has listed "harem" and so this should qualify, but then you also say Sam's a LI even though the dev has explicitly said she is not.

Quoting a post from 3+ years ago (when the game was at ver.0.2) is nice and all that, but are you sure that this still holds? It's common for devs to change some ideas/story directions as the time passes.

The dev does come to this thread, generally after each new update. They have had 3+ years to state otherwise, and I've never seen anything different from the referenced post. So I can only assume nothing has changed in that regard, especially since people complain every single release that Sam is a lesbian, etc. It's ofc possible things are different, but I have no reason to assume so until I see an official statement by Raybae.

It's weird how some people can go on and on about one of the characters being lesbian and not a LI. Personally i find Sam as a good buddy to MC and prefer that it's a she instead of he. Seems like some people have hard time seeing man and woman be platonic friends with each other.

Hi, Can someone Please Tell me how to STOP Self voicing from vocalising
The Days, {in the top right corner) Thank you.
Oh, and please don't tell me it can't be done.

Normally, in Ren'Py self-voicing can be turned on and off with the letter V — have you already tried that?

I want self-voicing On But, I don't want self-voicing to Speak the Days

I want self-voicing On But, I don't want self-voicing to Speak the Days

Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't know enough about it to know how to manage that. I assume the game has to have code specifically to omit certain things from self-voicing. I have never looked into how to do that, however, so I'm not sure.

FFR: Put your reply after the [/QUOTE] tag on your posts to avoid your response getting "swallowed up" by whatever you're quoting. Initially, your reply looked to me like you had typed nothing.

Hotdamn some of these old ass broads look like dudes with wigs on.

I like the game thus far, hopefully a new update soon.

i like that frames include the girls breathing... maybe an odd thing to appreciate, but something erotic about it, e.g., when Carol watches the mc mast onto her

More realism can be quite erotic. I love this type of attention to detail in games / art.

 

[zarathoss1]

good game. liked the story and girls but romance aspect is too weak, it's just fuck and leave. You know it gets boring after a while

Latest update on Patreon:
I'll just be honest with everyone here, for the last month or so, I have not worked on Maids and Maidens at all. I have just not enjoyed working on the game, and I have not been happy with where the game stands right now.
...
I still love the characters I've created, and I won't abandon my girls. Maids and Maidens will return.
In the meantime, Patreon charges will remain paused.

Well, it was a fun ride. Very few games manage to return from that "it's not dead, I promise!" valley, but hey, at least he's being honest about it (instead of continuing to milk his patrons while giving vague "I'm working on it, new update sometime next month!" promises, like many other devs do).

 

[Soulpuppet]

Sad to see this but I can say I'm not surprised. The last few updates have taken longer and longer to come out with no where near the amount of content as the last. Welp, hopefully it comes back but just like Grizloy, I'm not very optimistic when it comes to "on hold" games. Mostly they never come back or you get a 10min update every year or so.

 

[snow123789456]

While I do like the game, I appreciate his honestly. Hopefully he will sort it out.

It sounds to me just like he's got writer's block (or creator's block?). I obviously am not a mind reader, but I wouldn't jump immediately to the conclusion that this is basically abandoned. Every single developer is different. Even if 99 other developers all say the same thing and then abandon their games, there's no reason the 100th one couldn't bounce back and be just fine moving forward.
