VN Ren'Py Memories [v0.3] [Deviloper]

[Freedom9555]

Hello developer and friends, hope you're having a good time
This update was excellent, as expected
Honestly, I didn't see any mistakes in it, except for one point that is likely subjective, which I will mention at the end of this post

Once again, as always, we encountered mature, natural, and meaningful writing and dialogue. The scenes were very hot. The characters once again showed their excellent personalities. Everything was perfectly in its place

Spoiler: Introduction to the world of swing, sharing, and Nicole's Cuckqueen fetish

For those unfamiliar with the swing and sharing genre, the dialogue between the MC and Nicole in bed explained this genre very well, correctly, and in a very hot manner. One of the scenes I really enjoyed in this update was this night/scene
Another thing that became apparent here is Nicole's Cuckqueen fetish. This made me very happy, and I'm sure it made vanilla fans (the FFM - MC sharing type) very happy too. It's clear Nicole really enjoys this fetish; this is definitely one of my favorite routes in this game

Spoiler: Enter a very hot milf (Nicole's mom)

I didn't expect Nicole's mom to be this hot!! Especially her style and taste, which has made her look very unique... those things around her fingers—I don't even know what they are—I just know they are very stylish and hot, definitely one of my favorite MILFs in this game

Spoiler: The emotional scenes were very beautiful and well-executed, fostering love and trust in the player

It was once again confirmed that the love and trust between MC and Nicole is 100 out of 100, and this was fully shown to the player
The presence of love and trust is extremely important in Swing and Sharing; if one of these is missing, the player encounters feelings of Netorare
These scenes were also mature and natural, unlike those 99% of other NTS games that are full of unnatural, clichéd, and childish dialogue. These two characters are fantastic

Spoiler: Excellent setups that were implemented in this update

If I want to mention one, it's the setup where we were given the best possible secretary! This is one of the great setups that I'm really looking forward to in future updates

Spoiler: Addition of the FMC POV

I was very happy that this POV was added. I've always said this POV can double the hotness and the level of connection
Those few people who don't like this POV can skip it by writing a very simple mod and avoid seeing it
If we don't have this POV, some characters in the game might annoy us and badmouth Nicole! Although I wouldn't believe them, I'd like to see the counterpoint/refutation

Spoiler: Dialogues that were really great

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If I want to point out one of the dialogues, it's the one above
I mentioned this dialogue because although it's excellent, I know some people didn't like it
In this dialogue, Nicole indirectly says, "I always reject these advances from other men without thinking, but because of the past few days and MC's suggestions, I'm hesitant and thinking about whether it might be okay now"
Some might say here that Nicole is a slut for thinking this way, but as I explained previously, that's not the case at all—unless you yourself choose the Netorare path. After that, what do you expect? The player has absolute power


Everything in this update was excellent
I'd also like to share two points with you friends:
1: The developer of this game doesn't just write anything; he give the player room to breathe. It's not like some games where we face masses of long, useless, and extraneous text. This is excellent. They allow the player to think and understand the characters. This also gives the game a sense of mystery, ensuring it's not just a simple game. However, this might cause some people to be upset by certain dialogues. I encourage you to pay closer attention to see the underlying realities
2: The Netorare path, labeled in the script with the parameter 'pathc', diverges right from the start when you choose between the swing/sharing and cuckolding paths at the computer. You should imagine you're dealing with a different Nicole. The Nicole of the main game path (wife sharing/husband sharing) is inherently different from the Nicole of this path, especially as this path seems designed to be completely mysterious

The only issue within this update, which is probably subjective (meaning, based on my personal taste), is the sex scene between Nicole's mom and the other man. I'm not interested in voyeurism; it feels like watching two strangers have sex, which doesn't give me a good feeling. Personally, I'm interested in MC's relationships with other MILFs, Nicole's relationships with other men, or various FFMs and MMFs. For example, a threesome involving MC - Nicole's mom- another man... But with voyeurism, a man is having sex with a woman I don't have any feelings for yet, meaning it's neither vanilla nor NTS/NTR

I wrote a lot, but that's how it is when you really like something; you want to talk about it with others who also enjoyed it

Very impressive, how you analysed the game.
But how do you see the love and trust.
Also was there a point where the male MC could have broken it?

 

[TonyMurray]

I have to check wasn't he conversing with the witch lady ...while driving home ? he was trying to get ahold of Nicole. She said she was dancing. THen we see our hero at home and she is there ???? Where is the 2 hours... I am sure he does not have a 2hr commute. ?? I have to play it again.

This is what I was thinking. He's definitely in the car when he gets the dancing photo (with or without the kiss, depending on path). I got the impression he was then getting home not long after - in one path it said something along the lines of waiting to get home so he could look/look again at the message, suggesting to me that it wouldn't be much longer. That's why I thought it was a little odd that she was coming out of the shower when he arrived, as I expected he would get there first. She was still dancing at the time he got the picture (although technically, the message he received could have been sent an hour after the photo was taken, for instance, so she could have already been in a taxi home when Kylie decided to send MC the photo).

 

[Enlight432]

although I'm glad it turned out to be a voyeur scene rather than a cheating scene

I wasn't worried at all because I'm on the Swing/Sharing path. You definitely know this yourself, but if you're interested, I can send you the scene that puts you on the Netorase path, this way, you will never be worried

I think the scene serves two purposes there, one is the obvious titillation of having a (somewhat taboo) sex scene, the other is to give/increase that spark of arousal towards her, opening her up as a possible partner somewhere later down the line (especially following the discussion earlier about her marriage).

Yes, I completely agree with you, that's why I said my reason is subjective, not objective
As you said, this scene had a purpose, otherwise I don't think it would have been enjoyable for vanilla fans, NTS fans, or NTR fans because it wasn't any of those three tags, but well, it wasn't upsetting either

 

[Enlight432]

Plus this, of course (the first line) - since it's a canon scene, rather than one that only happens on certain paths (although one path could have a different outcome following this, I suppose).

For the timing of it, I don't recall that, but it would depend where exactly the "couple of hours later" comes up - is it between him getting the photos and arriving home? I got the impression it wasn't that long between those two points at least. Alas though, once I've played an update I delete the game for space purposes, and re-download when the next update comes, so I'll rely on you guys correcting/confirming those bits!

I'll take a screenshot for you now:

These three renders are three consecutive renders in the game.
So, rest assured

The timeline with that photo and Nicole returning home is a little weird, but as you said, there could be a multitude of "reasonable" explanations that don't stretch credulity too far.

EDIT: Enlight432 already posted a few screenshots that seem to suggest Kylie took those photos earlier and just sent them to MC later in the evening - when Nicole was already/close to home.

Aha, that's about right then. I just couldn't remember a transition "during" the key part - the messages from Kylie and arriving home.

For the paths thing, I have separate saves, although the wording I've used, based on the choice given in the game is "wife closer to other men" and "husband closer to other women". I admit, I can't remember if that was specifically at the time of checking out the website, or later on... It certainly seemed to me that these could both be on the same path though, without much (or any?) issue. Did I maybe miss making a branch save initially when I was still testing the game and deciding if it was one I wanted to continue with?

 

[Enlight432]

Very impressive, how you analysed the game.
But how do you see the love and trust.

In my opinion, when there’s no love and trust between the MC and FMC, and this isn’t clearly and fully shown to the player, you can’t fully enjoy this genre, and the game’s potential gets limited
Because without these two factors, the moment there’s even a slightly hardcore or tense scene, players get upset since full trust hasn’t been established yet

Also was there a point where the male MC could have broken it?

Based on what I know about this game, we’ll likely see something like this in the Netorare route, because this game gives equal importance to the MC and FMC. The MC can also get involved with other women, so there’s a possibility of trust being broken by the MC

Yes, you're right, in the scene where the MC is at the computer making a decision, there’s no dialogue option labeled Netorare
But:
1. The developer said the Netorare route is optional, which means we will have a Netorare route
2. Currently, there are two main paths in the script: one is likely "pathc," probably short for path cuckolding, and the other is "pathvs," likely short for path vanilla-sharing (referring to NTS)
3. When Nicole kisses the white guy during the fast date, it counts as Netorare because there was no agreement between the MC and FMC about this. This kiss only happens in the pathc route
Based on these three points, I think it’s likely that the Netorare route is part of the pathc route

THe Key is Kylie probably lied to the MC..She said Nicloe in on the dance floor with dude ...when in fact they may have already left ..That would explain why she was already home when he walked in. But why would she be oblivious to what was happening with her mother ??

 

[ItsNotUs]

yea... I agree with you on this... at this stage I do think it is to fast and would be kinda dumb... she is not dumb at all.

or the dev was simply too lazy to render a second set of clothes

It's like that story with the high heels.

 

[TonyMurray]

Quite possible. For the second part, it could be that Nicole was home first and already in the shower when Jasmine got home with her (presumably) one-night stand.

 

[Enlight432]

But why would she be oblivious to what was happening with her mother ?

I don’t think anyone knows the answer to this question
We can only guess
And it’s really hard to guess
Maybe when Nicole came to house, that guy and her mom were having sex, and Nicole intervened, but neither the guy nor her mom listened to her? Maybe she didn’t intervene and thought it was too late and her mom betrayed her dad? Maybe she was too drunk to notice, and only after taking a shower did she come to her senses? Maybe the bathroom is far from her mom’s room, and she went straight to the shower after coming home? There are so many possibilities! But although you asked an interesting question, it doesn’t really matter

i think jasmine will have one one-nigh stand,the rest the game propably a LI for mc.He lusting after lust in the voyeur scene

And of course, as touched on in part of your response, maybe she wasn't oblivious. MC says (via thoughts) that he wants to get Nicole out of there to avoid her finding out, but they might get into the bedroom and she could just say "I bumped into my mom when I got home, she's brought a guy home. They're probably fucking right now..."

 

[Enlight432]

I hope Rockstar joins the financial supporters of this game so the next update comes out very soon, because the MILFs in this game are insanely hot! I can’t wait haha

One of the scenes I’m really looking forward to is Kylie’s hate-fucking. Though the word “hate” is a bit exaggerated since I personally don’t hate her, but she definitely needs a good hate-fucking

 

[packard1928]

all this being said. The Dev writes a pretty good story... Way to go Deviloper ! Now I hope he can deliver on the 30 to 45 day cycle

 

[packard1928]

I’m done with kiddie games, man. From now on, I’m only playin’ games like Memories that got a natural, legit, grown-up vibe.
You seen them Netorare games lately? Like 99% of ‘em are just about some horny dude and chick who can’t think of nothin’ but gettin’ it on. Dialogues are straight-up childish and cliché, characters flatter than a pancake, relationships come outta nowhere with zero sense. Basically, pure PornHub vibes.

[packard1928]

Maybe she will take the MC into the BR take off her towel and say Honey... guess what I did tonight.... when we get another review of the event...and thoughts by her
