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

[Dessolos]

I have a simple question: Is it possible to avoid the "Misty" story path? Don t get me wrong....Misty is attractive and all that, and Todd s cuckold fetish is fine for some......but i really don t like the dynamic between Misty, Todd, and my MC. It feels strange or wrong, though i m not sure how to explain it. The forced scenes are also really odd, especially if you, as a player, don t particularly like Misty. For example, if you re on the "Devon" path (which i am ofc), the dialogues.....and especially the characters inner monologues.....between Devon and the MC don t align with the whole "Misty s so hot, yada yada yada" vibe. On one hand, my MC is clearly smitten with Devon (he s already thinking about the big "L" word), and Devon seems to be talking about a serious, committed relationship (both characters are, actually). But then, as soon as they re around Misty and Todd, they act like dumb, horny teenagers, both lusting after each other s partners. Devon even asks the MC if he s okay with her getting closer to Todd, while the MC.....despite being "kind of" in love with Devon.....openly lusts after Misty! I mean, who does that?! I hope you catch my drift, but these situations feel completely off. If Devon and the MC are committed to each other, the MC s thoughts about Misty shouldn t exist, and the secret touches and all that shouldn t be happening either.

I had no issue with that unless it's something in this update I forgot. Cause the girlfriend status is rather new. But I do agree about the forced scenes only thing I wish was different in this game but I understand why they are there as it just makes it easier for the dev.

The mindset is something like Douce Bigalow, only the hang-up is that MC is not of that world, not of the boys' world, not of the girls' world, and there is nothing special about him.

I don't remember any mentions of Devon giving sexual favors to anyone, the only things in term of Devon and relationship was her failed relationship with Garth because he started being with Liz too much. Otherwise I don't remember anything related to sexual stuff she did. Where did it say that or even implied that?

No, Misty content is unavoidable.

This was said and the thing is, we have to contend with such openness - I would call it free use - type of ralationships that the girls are running:
” Although as I stated before even for a porn game the attitude of the characters in the game is way over the top in term of willingness to share by the guys and willingness to be shared by the girls, its insane how little single girls the MC get VS shared girls. ”

I don't remember any mentions of Devon giving sexual favors to anyone

If such openness prevents them from staving off advances, then it is a fool's errand to pretend this insanity is not what this game is predicated on in the story it is putting forward; you will run the risk of getting whiplash or uncomfortable emotions.
Should you feel she got cucked by Liz when her previous BF started spending less time with her, how would you feel about the same BF coming back and MC getting a smaller and smaller amount of time and attention from Devon, if she starts thinking that the guy deserves more attention than the MC? MC is himself engaging in cheating with the girls, so how about him getting the same treatment? When he becomes the ”official boyfriend,” won’t he have to contend with the rampant free use all the other guys will be getting from her, like, any other day?

I suggest you go play something where noone likes to share with anyone. Which is the majority of games on here.

I'm sure he does. But this is a forum where ppl talk about games. In this thread the topic is this particular game. And I think the criticism is valid. The MC starts a relationship with a main LI and before he even does anything with her alone they jump right into this crazy sharing scenario. Makes you wonder why he even calls her his girlfriend. From a meta perspective it looks like quick satisfaction for patrons who like the sharing kink at the cost of alienating everyone who expects a little better story telling.

not true there is a solo sex scene with her before this sharing scene. Then it's also up to you if you want to share her ( which gets it's own different solo sex scene if you don't share) hell even in the sharing scene you can choose for her not to do anything with Todd besides the dare.

dude gimme a break - surely all the people complaining about the relationship realism factor here apply the same scrutiny to any number of mc-McMagicDick games where every women in the universe trips over themselves to sample his dick with zero commitment.

So while you're not wrong, this narrative is well within the bounds of porn-world-logic storytelling - id say even more closer to reality than your average harem avn.

Most of it is delusional rambling, he's just making shit up in his own head. Don't want to share Devon this early on in the relationship or at all? Then don't. The developer gave people the choice.
Also news flash (again) for people who seem unable or unwilling to understand. This is a game based on sharing! If you don't like that then you are (in the developers own words) going to find things pretty boring going forward.

Event six has a lot of possible "First's" for Devon. It was a task to make all the possible options happen. I feel like the more we progress the more I won't need to do things like.. Say.. No.. Don't share Devon with your best friend Todd. Though I said I'd make it optional. So I did.
It's going to be a VERY boring game if you didn't.

Devon is for teasing others, not for pleasing. (caveman chest pounding) No share Devon. (caveman chest pounding) All others please MC. Must make Robyn next conquest she has hidden skills must see her if her inner cave can make me cum quick like her mouth.

Weird way to spell "J-E-S-S"

she's after Robyn after that classroom hallway blowjob, something tells me Robyn is hiding something worth checking out. But yes must also fuck Jess

Besides Kyuw since we never got to finish the deed cause of that damn proffesor. Tho think it will happen in the next update I think I want Bailey or Ella next but yeah Jessica makes the most sense to happen before them.

Jules is for fucking, Jess is for loving! Yeah I agree I would love to see a good Robyn scene.

Good thing there's no NTR in the game.

Well, the Gestapo said so because of a peculiar definition, so...

Sure sure, that is why we have this debates in harem games, how realistic harems are and that some NTR is much more realistic.... right?! Right!
I would ask why there is any sex! They should be virgins doing virgin things, like talking, watching and not trying and doing! ;-)

Ye except this characterization inverts the power dynamics.
I couldn't disagree more strongly. BADIK's approach to prostitution is such a phony veneer obviously meant to cater to incel fantasies: there's zero weight to it. In the REAL world, if and when that kind of thing existed, MC would have a rude awakening and find out not only were Quinn and Camilla and Sarah working there, but either Maya or Josy did a quick stint too. I can enjoy games like badik but I don't pretend they're love sonnets.

In MTBP, there's MUCH more heart as you actually see the characters getting their own. A friend like Bob would be over the moon at getting jerked/blown by Debbie, and any normal friend would be estactic that his dorky friend finally got some action.

Now - I do wish MTPB had more interplay with jealousy as that's a realistic element, he does have variables for a lot of the characters relationships so he might use them in future.

I totally disagree.
Maya and Josy wouldn't end up working there because their characters are not that corrupt.
They are fairly innocent in comparison to Sarah and Melanie.
They have enough backbone to reject such a proposition.
They would also open up to their support network and receive guidance on how to handle that situation.

You think all girls proposed to that lifestyle accept it?
There are women with good character in the world.
Unlike Mastering the Pink Box, where they are all easily corrupted.

First of all, I wouldn't be friends with someone like Bob.
He's a creeper, a voyeur, and taking non-consensual pictures of people.
If I were already friends with him and found out, I'd try to correct him and tell him what he's doing is wrong.
Up to him how he takes that, if he continued down that dark path, I wouldn't stay friends with him.

Secondly, Debbie is sleeping with a married teacher.
A man that is using his authority to prey on students.

I would be concerned if my friend was connected to such a scandal.
Any good friend would warn Bob that dating Debbie will only bring trouble.
Not that Bob is a gentleman and a scholar, he's borderline criminal.

BaDIK's restaurant is a smaller operation that primarily runs for horny students, corrupt teachers, and alumni.
It is primarily related to the college.

Mastering the Pink Box, it's tied to much darker elements like that King Pin wannabe running a train on Colleen.
Every single older adult is corrupt and somehow connected to the Pink Box.
Even the MCs parents most likely. Only Palpatines and no Obi-Wan's as mentors.

BaDIK doesn't cater to incel fantasties.
If it did, MC would be the only character sleeping with all the girls.
This isn't the case!
Sharing fans can even have a threesome with John Boy and Elena.
There is no harem and there are consequences for being a player.

Mastering the Pink Box is the unrealistic game catering to echo chamber StormNTRoopers and the dark side.
If the NTR toggle eventually turns off all the gross Colleen, Jenn, Charlie stuff, there will be some hope.
Also keep in mind, the overview states that this game is not only for NTS/NTRoopers.

Overview:
This is a journey of Zach and his new friends.
After dealing with some personal loss.
Zach slowly comes into some interesting situations.
Choose between caring is sharing, or keep it all for yourself.
Help your friends achieve their desires, or don't!
Lets see where we end up!

When is the MC going to spend time with Alexis. She is almost nonexistent. Didn't she have interest in the MC. She just got a couple of text and the locker room scene. At least talk to the girl.

 

[sdawg1234]

I only have 2 complaints and they're just personal preferences.

1. Charlie kneed me and so I don't want to give her any, yet we can't reject her

2. Devon, game doesn't really seem like we need or should want a gf yet she is the de facto gf. Told her wasn't looking for one but that doesn't really mean anything.

Other than that the game is what it is and I'm sure there's a story going on in the background somewhere

When you say talk, you mean things like: "Do you like anal?" "Should I stick my salami in your kitty?" "oh" "ah" "deeper" oh no, that's what she is saying!
