Ren'Py Maya's Mission [v0.3.1 Public] [Pinkmochidango]

[pinkmochidango]

That's very sad to hear. The idea of a scanner to track the heroine's condition was pretty much killed by one linear route in the game. At this stage of the game, my expectations included that we would actually be able to influence how events would unfold later on. It's disappointing that this doesn't happen.

In general, I enjoyed this game much more than Klee Prank Adventure, although in both cases I'm not familiar with the source material.

What I found lacking: You made a great plot hook for the mysterious NTR, but immediately ruined all the intrigue with direct hints (e.g. red color of text, detailed discussions after missions, other characters revealing everything that happened to them). Scanner is also too perfect in this regard, showing the stream with a girl online. You can call me a nitpicker, but that's just my opinion. The scenario the characters found themselves in was perfect for hints, suspicions, gradual revelations, and so on. But in the end, we get everything thrown in our faces without any trace of suspense.

And one last thing. Judging from the comments, you correctly conveyed that the protagonist and Maya are just co-workers, rather than people interested in each other. I thought that was a strange choice for an NTR game. It seems to me that it would be worth making it more obvious that the main character is interested in Maya as a woman and not just cares about her well-being.

That's the thing, I'm not trying to make an NTR game, I'm just trying to make a fun/hot Ace Attorney parody with themes that i enjoy. The main character Phoenix isn't specifically interested in Maya as a woman, they are best friends and co-workers. She isn't being stolen from him, but he's protective of her because he cares about her and respects her. It's why he listens when she asks him/mia asks him to back off.

Personally I like the red text, I feel like it looks a little menacing and serious, and gives me a bump of excitement/adrenalin. Regarding the pacing... I don't think I could have taken things much slower and kept the game progressing at a pace I feel comfortable with really.

If you're looking for a pure mystery NTR focused experience, there are other games that do that better. I appreciate your opinion though, thank you for your input.

I think the devs copied the structure of Klee Prank Adventure without really thinking about what the change in protagonist would do.

Klee is both young and a girl, so is not a valid partner for any of the girls, so it feels more like voyeurism and less like NTR. Compare that to Phoenix being an adult man, even if story-wise he's not interested in Maya.

Not really meant as a criticism, just a thought on why the "vibes" are different between the two games.

Big spoiler:
Phoenix is gonna have seggs multiple times in game, starting in v0.3!

That is fine if you are not intending to making an NTR game since mc has no interest on the heroine. I am curious is there a reason there is a Netorare tag because usually ppl will assume some form NTR elements with the tag associated with it

Which will probably please the anti NTR crowd. At that point it's more like "swinging" and not "NTR"
It's a bit suprising though because Phoenix behaved like a Tsundere in front of April & Desiree and even ran away to hide that he got hard.

One character (Desiree) is married and she is openly admitting that her husband is a cuckold.

I don't think you have to argue about it again and again. This game has at least some NTR elements....

Well, in that case, I misunderstood the basic idea of your game. Best of luck to you, then.

Maybe somewhere in the developer's notes it should be stated what the game is about, so that people like me, who came for one thing and got another, are less likely to show up.

More spoilers:
I have shown that Phoenix has gotten turned on, but has rejected any advances because it's the "right thing to do". Over time, perhaps he will grow to be more a little more open with that sort of thing... I want him to succumb to Bluecorp 2's "corrupting aura" hahah. What will make him cross that line for the first time? Let's just say that he gets lucky

Thank you for being understanding, it turns out it's a fine line to walk. I really am trying my best, believe me.

I kinda like that its not NTR, but has a flavor of it. Games that humiliate or harm the MC can be fun, but some people like the voyeuristic feel that doesnt directly translate into shame for the main character. Even if it ends up being completely inear, to me its still exciting, and ill be looking forward to the next update. Idk why, but I love the look of Maya's character, the art style just looks great.

 

[MrFuckNuts]

Random question but is there any lesbian content planned for future updates? I don’t know who it’d include. Hopefully not polly.

(but I do hope polly makes an appearance at some point)

 

[doomulol]

why not the oneesan , fmc

 

[Getsuark]

I'm hoping we can still spy on Maya in the future, despite not being a NTR game

 

[fakename99]

So far, this is pretty goddamn fantastic. Writing feels pretty authentic to the games, I love the actual OST and sounds being used, and the art is all on model and very close to the games. Please don't abandon this like 96% of the other games I get hopeful for.

Played 6 Ace Attorney i still don't know if Phoenix is gay or not, and the red head girl even not the real girlfriend he once in a healthy experience. Even Maya becomes mature enough, and a young female lawyer joined at 5. In AA6 there are not canon about any romantic stories implication. Miles and Franziska have are better romantic contents than Phoenix imo

This stuff's hot your cooking with this one dev thanks for the game!

In the era where everything in media is being sanitized- no one likes to take the risk of upsetting a certain group... And everything plays it too safe for my liking.. I wish at least porngames embraced their degeneracy. This game has a comedy setting wrapped around it so maybe it wouldnt fit as much but I am a fan of extreme content as much as the next person so it would still be nice if things got built up to a point then boiled over. That said I am a huge fan of the slow burn as well so if that was to be accommodated I would like it at the end. Very pleased with first 2 days though.. If it keeps this level of writing and rising climax/pace.. Probably be one of my favorites I found on this site

 

[BobJojo]

Ignoring the porn, it feels like a fangame with a lot of care. The dialogue is very well characterized, and the UI, menu, sprites, sound, everything is dead on (yeah I know it's probably just ripped, but its implemented into Renpy very well). I'm not a big fan of voyeur, and I will say that it feels kinda off as the comedic writing is undercut pretty strongly by the corruption aspect. It doesn't really bother me, but it's definitely noticable.

Regardless, liking it a lot. Really hoping this survives to a complete release.

Would love to see a game like this but without the NTR/Tease-NTR element.
