VN Ren'Py Abandoned Midlife Crisis [v0.34 - v0.1 Dark] [Nefastus Games]

[Skode]

Finished this game this morning and wanted to think over what I would say:

Great game so far! I love that much of the content is optional and I think that speaks volumes to the quality of the developer(s). Sarah (the feisty red head) is probably my favorite character, but all the ladies in this game are great.

I honestly thought that when the secretary was sick those few days that she might be the first girl we get a confirmation of pregnancy for, but I ain't mad that it was Sarah.

I'm not going to lie, some of the scenes on the romance paths are so well done that I got a little teary eyed.

I also found it kind of funny how a week goes by without him having sex. The whole time I was like, "Dude just call your escort, we said we'd hook up with her again." There are literally zero reasons for the MC to ever have blueballs.

There was some talk about anal sex scenes earlier in the thread. Anal sex has zero appeal to me so I hope that if more of it gets added in it will always be optional. Obviously on Tracy's (Trans) path it wouldn't make much sense to have it not happen, and my MC has done it with her, but I've never gotten the appeal of having it with a non-trans woman. Not knocking anyone who enjoys it and likes to see it, just saying I hope it is optional if it shows up more.

Honestly i'm more surprised given how full of very kinky girls this game is none of them have been bum fun champions lol (especially as most have distinct kinks from one another in a lot in a lot of cases). Still no harm in making pretty much anything optional for those who dont like it.

just finished my first playthrough in pretty much two sittings, damn that was surprisingly enthralling, really good game
question for the regulars - how often and how big updates come up? any point in waiting around or should i just put a bookmark on it and forget about it for next 6-12 months?
i honestly didn't expect so much content already just looking at version number, but at a same time i don't know how long it took to get here

I'd say about 3 months per update? But my memory isn't what it's going to be.

 

[JackMiejov]

how often and how big updates come up?

From 0.20 through 0.26, it was averaging about 2 months. 0.27 was delayed several months due to health issues and 0.28 was about 3 months, if I recall correctly.

Right, I don't even remember what my memory used to be and I've long since forgotten what it was going to be.

How is the temperature for next update? Weeks? Months? IAM not going to fool myself and hope for days...

His last post on Patreon was April 14th... after he said something about doing weekly news. However, he did pop his head up, and left a comment in Discord, though. Survey says: "..."

Just a curious question but what happens if you don't lead your wife into wanting threesomes with the girls, I remember a decision where you decide whether to lead her into it or not and it said "if you choose this option, you won't have threesomes with the wife." I'm on my first playthrough so I'm going for the walkthrough options atm but does it do anything or is it just a decision if you don't want to share your girls at all?

Like the friends with the open relationship, that decision is clear, you don't want your wife to screw other dudes, yet the decision with the wife and threesomes with girls is a tad bit more confusing. Is it just a decision to keep all the girls to yourself kind of thing? With no lesbian stuff between them?

I'm not sure if I've explained this in the best way but the best I can do on memory alone.

I don't know about this specific decision but generally speaking the "long term no harem" decisions aren't well implemented yet. The game is focussing on the harem path. Voting Tracy out works, some others you will have encounters with even if you said not to. This will be fixed further down the road according to Nef. Short term decisions (like how you want your meeting with sis and brother-in-law (even though they're not married)) work fine however.

So can't answer the question specifically, but generally do not be surprised if something else than expected happens.

Quick update:

So get the important bit out of the way. The update is very close to completion.
Now some good news. I'm sorry I was hit or miss communication wise for a while here. But there was a reason. I have officially left my previous employment as of today. The past few weeks have been hellish trying to shove 20+ years of experience and 10 years worth of relationship building into my replacement.
What does this mean for the game? FINALLY I can put everything I have into this and really try to make a go of it. I love all you that stuck with me through this hellish schedule I have been on. It's been tough I know, having me vanish for weeks at a time and then a quick post that I was still working. I should have loads more free time now. I can finally put patreon/discord etc back on my phone, but most importantly I can finally sit down and properly WORK on the game each and every week. Should see a vast improvement in release schedules. I am hoping I can get a little extra length in each update as well, but not committing to anything just yet.

 

[CircaAD]

Someone tell Nefastus he's not alone. Though I did tell my employer I was not training the replacement. That was on them.

I'm looking forward to some more loveable faceplants and bad karaoke!

 

[JoeTheMC84]

… and bad karaoke!

Isn’t that a bit redundant?

waiting for cliffhanger to be end soon hope update comes this month

Just started this game for the first time and i already have a question=) Does the "include your wife" path exclude other things in the game?

As far as I have seen adding the wife (or others) does NOT block anything. There ARE a few choices that you can make that Block content, but they are clearly a choice to avoid or block. If you want something (and I recommend adding the wife) go ahead. If you do NOT want something, then choose to block or avoid it.

So far, this game has been VERY good (other than the EVIL Chocolate Chip Cookie scene that might be described with 3 letters).

Just a thought.

Definitely include the wife. Shes one of the hottest things about this game, as the MC convinces her try new things with him. Plus, when he's dogging her good in between the girls its great stuff.

Include her. Some of the best scenes in the game include her.

Hey Nefastus! I don't know how often you stop by your thread, but if you read this I have a thought or request I suppose. While I know that you are adding a bunch of fetishes and stuff, can you give us a choice in the game where we can simply lock all sharing/ntr content away from our path?

For example, you can choose to have a sharing scene with sister and her husband. Fair. But I decided NOT to share the sister, but I get an option to share with the young black couple in the latest update. Not the biggest of deals, but having a NEVER SHARE option would be good. Maybe even "Never Share with Men" option cause I like having three or foursomes with the ladies.

Not excited about the all the time spent on Sharing content recently, but I can't control what you do. Hopefully you can add that button to the game. As a superfan that appreciates your work, I wish you luck and I'm looking forward to the next update!

Nefastus -

I like the choices for each encounter. No matter what you do - people will have issues, complaints, suggestions. Do what's best for your vision, time, and skills/talents/ability.

I appreciate all you do - you do you, sir. You do you.
