VN Ren'Py Mastering the Pink Box [v0.10] [Studio 68 Games!]

[Maximilian87]

I feel like we either played a different game or just saw things differently. I never got BAD vibes once and right away I got a swinging / sharing vibe from the game. I don't think you need to play much of the game to get the theme of the game is sharing

i wouldn't say BAD vibes, but NCC vibes, where there is room for a Bull path or smt, this game was not meant to be vanilla that was clear BUT, it has a big cast of girls, enough for some to be shared/avoided, AND the dev was leading more out there players (not that into sharing or not at all) on, with the way you think in early game, what is being said around you and all that, leading the player to think the MC is someone important with big money, and BIG CHAD vibes, not a " hey wanna fuck my girl?" vibes

 

[Dessolos]

I thought that it was a wild college game.
Some threesomes, cheating, drama, etc.
Not swinging like old perverted married couples.

I thought of Teresa as a wild girl like Aubrey from College Kings.
Charlie and Kyuw had their boyfriends, so they should sleep together.
I thought they were the wild bad girls like Quinn.

Only weird vibe clue was Graham.
I could reason that he's a closet Chad/Troy type.
Joe Dirt came along, hmm weird... another dude pushing his girl on you.
That's when things got sus.

Todd going full-blown swinger banger Broseph is when the alarm fully sounded.
I had skipped some updates before the Colleen/Todd reveal, so I was surprised.

For me the obvious clues was Kyuw's scenes and the conversation Graham had with the MC in the bathroom then the threesome with Teresa with those 2 clues made it all the more obvious to me it was sharing. But even if you said no to Kywu pretty sure her boyfriend has that sharing convo with you. Which imo is a big clue to the theme of the game then of course the Misty and Aimee stuff kind of seals the deal.

But I say so far there is no forced sharing with the MC's LI , so it can give the impression it's more about the MC being the one that fucks the other dudes girls. But that is still sharing

My first playthough I was locked out of Kyuw.
I replayed to get her scenes, and found out about Jam-Jam later.

Also isn't Jam-Jam a BaDIK Jamie reference?

Not really that obvious the theme, even with that.
it only means its a wild game, that can have multiple paths, with multiple crowds, this was the impression. and trust me there is plenty of players that tought the same. im not into sharing, but that does not mean i did not tag team Theresa, or that i didn't get the deal with JamJam, they are the cast, not Li in my view, so its all good... its a wild game....

but yes there is nothing "forced" with the Li's yet, but the way MC acts rn is leading towards a singled out path, thats the feel.

 

[SlapE]

We just have different frameworks.

To us guys that dislike NTR/NTS, it's hard to fathom a dude wanting to share his girlfriend or wife.

If he wants to share his girl with us fine, we'll take it if we're hungry, but he better not be hanging out in the corner, and GTFO.

Of course that scenario is only in-game. In real life I wouldn't want another dude's chick, even if they offered.
Game-wise, just the thought of NTR is gross, but being the bull doesn't bother me.

I'm not a harem guy, but I do get the appeal. I do have that darker impulse.
But I disagree with it on a moral and practical level, so I cannot embrace it.
I have no such dark impulse for NTR/NTS that needs to be fed though.

So sharing in a game is not NTR to someone that has that impulse.
It's like, high-five, we're buds, let's swap. High-five bro.
To us non-NTR dudes, it's not a high-five, but a punch to the face.
To a guy that hates NTR, any other dude inserting his penis into their girl is NTR.

Harem vs NTR, is like a Territorial Barbarian Warrior framework vs. a Free Love Hippie framework.
They just won't mesh.
Mastering the Pink Box is not just a Free Love Hippie framework, it goes beyond that in depravity.
It's more of a corruption/use and be used game. No allusions to love involved.

I was literally just answering the guy's question, then you reply to me with an essay about shit I didn't even talk or argue about.

God, you need some serious help.

I disagree cause at it's core those scenes are still sharing just from a different perspective. If it was just a one off scene here and there then id agree it's a wild sex game. But when there is multiple characters that have that same exact theme to them I just can't agree.

Exactly, for some of us it's like the rug was pulled from under us.

This game makes me almost relate to a guy that has accidentally slept with a tranny.
He had a wild night with Carla, and woke up beside Carl, snoring like a caveman.

I was like, fun college shenanigans, let's make some ruckus.
Then was like... Big ugly ogre man and train on Colleen.
Jennn, so gross at the club. Charlie too.
Elderly teacher chasing Kyuw.

The Mc is heir of the Pink Box. That is clear from the start. Do you want to be your only customer?

bro ... i wont even try...

It wasn't clear that the Pink Box was a swinger's club.
Owning a club like The Pink Rose or any normal strip club is fine.
Strippers don't have to sleep with customers.

It's even grosser than a regular swingers club though.
These girls are treated like nothing more than mindless holes.
It's a swingers club mixed with complete dehumanization.

The setting for this game should be hell.
Every character being an incubus or succubus, ready to corrupt new souls that enter their environment.
That's what it feels like.
Nobody feels human. They feel like sex-driven inhuman fiends, that worship pleasure beyond else.
Older character prey on younger characters, grooming and corrupting.

It went from a fun College game to pure hedonism with no soul.

Honestly I had no the Pink Box was that type of place when I first played the game A year or 2 ago. I thought it was something for girls to earn extra money from doing sexual challenges. I didn't even think it was a physical place but something digital and it's hard to get approved to be part of it cause it had some criminal aspect to it.

As in Fetish Locator?

no idea never played it

 

[Polyphem]

It is quasi as you imagine the Pink Box at first. A boy new to college, a mysterious fetish app, a conspricy.

 

[Anteron]

I only agree with the optional part. I don't like NTR at all , only way I can play NTR focused games or paths is if the FMC is hot enough and I don't take the game or path serious and play it for the porn more unlike other games I play on this site. But I do think there needs to be a sharing / NTS tag at some point. Cause I do like sharing and that isn't NTR so I kind of have to play a guessing game because there is no clear way to tell if it's a NTR , sharing game or both without looking at the comments.

Personally, I'd like there to be a way to block both at once. As the limit of 10 in the search isn't enough so as it is to block all the tags I hate.

 

[Yoda2469]

I don't use a mod, and as I said, in this game old saves worked for me.

It's a very bad thing if you get locked out of a lot without the hated ntr.

I don't have any mods and it doesn't work for me... guess I will delete it and play something else.

 

[Anteron]

Well, I can tell you that on my play no sort of NTR happened. It went well.

 

[blkcrow20]

Good thing there's no NTR in the game.

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

First I'll echo Dessolos in that I don't like NTR but I have no problem with Sharing/swinging. To me they are completely different. Where some see a slut simulator in swinging or sharing, I see a reason to have a relationship with an Li that is not limited to sex. If sex is free for all then to be in a relation with someone it means there is something else there to connect with. I find that the girls are all interesting and have varied and unique personalities, but if I was only focusing on the sex I would not see it.

Full disclosure I did not play the latest update yet, I'm waiting for my tier (1$ I know I'm cheap, but can't pledge everywhere for 10$) I find that CK managed to make Devon and MC'S chemistry work well together. Make them have reasons to be together beyond just sex. They are there exploring their sexuality and having fun doing it.

On that point aren't we all on this forum because we find sex fun? At least a little bit. Exploration of sex is supposed to be fun especially with games since they are a safe way to do it. You can close the game anytime you are confronted with something you don't like. Then you can go on the forum talk about your experience and ask others for theirs and maybe you'll find an other way to look at things or at least understand the other's reason for liking it then you'll have learned something about yourself and others. There is no reason to go shit on an other person's cake after that, it's not even fun to do, at least I don't like it.
Saying that the characters are not wife material because they like sex and want to experience it with multiple persons... is kind of hypocrite while exploring this website. (Only kind of since there is no real contact between the characters and you.)

If you have to separate people in a black and white way, I know it's way more complicated than that: between Haters and simps. I much rather spend my time with simps than with haters. At least the simps are a positive bunch. So please, if you don't like the game and have all the answers to all the questions you wanted to ask, leave the space for others to enjoy. Don't let this degenerate in hate for people kind enough to interact with you and answer your questions.

 

[Runner17]

Oh yea, right Devon does have a black brother doesn't she, so she come from a reconstituted family right, so the father probably had a relationship with Sam and Sam left him Devon because she was basically working in the sex industry and didn't want to raise a kid. Well if my idea is correct anyway, at some point she caught the MC's father eye, and she got into a relationship with him.

As for the Killers not being the only ones, well their could be more than one car involved sure, but likely they would still be involved with the killing, so its still the same, considering how the father was talking about its clear their was not many people on his side, so yea likely the people involved with the assassination saved the MC.

Some other post show an image of what seemingly appear to be Todd driving the pursuing car, its possible he had some reason to want to kill the father but didn't want to kill his buddy, I mean otherwise their interactions in the game would be incredulous, first he could have left him to die, second why the Hell is he taking care of the MC like he does including sharing his girlfriend, it would be particular to do that much for a guy you secretly hate, plus... Todd doesn't strike me as being smart enough to keep up such a charade.

For the most part things that you said were interesting, except I think your under estimating Todd. He dealt with the Colleen situation and he knows about Charlie's problems and was concerned she went to far. Stated it multiple times, I think he's one of the people behind the scenes.
