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

[Yngling]

I would hate to burst anyone's bubble, but I would advise not holding your breath that it will happen completely at all. As much as I love this game and appreciate Nef's work, I doubt that a lot of paths "tagged on later" for only a part of the playerbase (even though I am included) will be sustainable in the long run. I accepted for me that there will only be a harem path, anything beyond will be a pleasant surprise.

Honestly I don't even really see the point in having non-harem paths. This game works great as a harem game, the hottest scenes are the ones involving multiple girls and their interactions. The story itself is also a bit too light-hearted to be able to focus on any girl in particular. I mean, he can fuck around all he wants, nobody seems to care, so why wouldn't he?

The only future path which may be interesting (it may also be just annoying though) would be an antagonistic Sandra rather than a supportive one.

But for solo paths, the girls are too much into voyeurism and sharing for that to work.

But what about the choice that says that there will be issues if you lie about Jennifer being the only one you want?

I do think that Nef wants to include such paths, there is no reason for me to doubt that. I am just sceptical about it really happening. And yes, that would make the game incomplete in a way.

While I am personally all in in this game, this is just a matter of taste. And I have had my fair share of games where I only reluctantly included a girl into the harem - because it was a necessity to get another one or there were other aspects to the story. While I agree that the setting asks for multiple girls at a time more than the "honest husband/boyfriend" route, excluding individuals I can always understand (in principle). And I also like me some solo path just because it is a choice you can make, I think that enriches the experience as opposed to a kinetic novel - which this game is coming very close to, at least in its current state.

If you looked at the Changelog section on OP, you'll see that "changelog" isn't a thing that the developer takes time to really do.
However, using the search box in the upper right of the thread for the word "changelog" brought up the following within the first half dozen of results:
#10,263 (which is a copy and paste of this public post:

Actually, getting the changelog into the OP is not the dev's job but ours - we need to inform the staff that there is something new, so they can add it.

I understand. I wasn't actually referencing that. I know that the changelog on here isn't the dev's responsibility. I was referencing that Nef's Changelogs aren't typical changelogs in that they don't say much, anyway. His previous changelog posts highlight that. About the only thing he puts in besides his thoughts on the update is the number of renders - which he didn't include in his recent post, anyway. It's 394.

That is true. (Also I would argue that "number of renders" or "lines of dialogue" also are mostly useless anyway, since they do not account for quality or game experience.)

However, given the way this game works, there is nothing much to say anyway unless you want interactions broken up ("3 talks and 2 fucks with Tamara" or similar).

Technically you are of course correct.

I'm just saying that, given the kind of game / story that this is, a harem is the logical outcome.

Frankly, I think that most girls lack the depth for a solo path. The girls that do have the depth (Sandra!) are too much into sharing. Of course, Nef could try to increase the character depth, but I think that would not really add much to the game, being a rather light-hearted story.

Those were pretty short last 2 or 3 updates I didn't play.
May have to wait until update 33 or longer to enjoy it.

The sex scenes were really nice in this latest update, but the text was off in places.

The flavour text is clumsy, especially early on: "You both head out eventually heading into the room where you initially changed your clothes". Maybe split that sentence into two, maybe simplify the language a bit.
More importantly, continuity. Amanda and my MC already had the pregnancy talk, all spontaneous-like, and now neither of them seem to remember bringing it up before. Plus, as others mentioned, the whole cuckolding thing.

Also, there's the talk of "family" even though I'm not using the family mod, which I may be the only one who cares about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let's call the update 9 out of 10 for the sex scenes, 6 out of 10 for the writing. Peace out.

You probably ought to show exactly where if you remember, Nefastus is making an effort for both ways to make sense, rather than it being the typical 'tenants who have somehow been renting from their landlord/landlady all their lives'.

 

[Kaynet]

not sure if this was reported or not. but wow this is a really bad rendering. wonder how it happened.

 

[Ooh]

If that thicc black daughter and her Mom are not in the next update Ill be epicly pissed. You rarely ever see thicc black character modes like her in these games and I was instantly diamond when she popped up. Decent update but I was a tad disappointed without being able to bang the daughter and her Mom. I guess the scene is delayed because of the "sharing" path associated with that family (The husband and MCs wife) which probably means extra scenes for non-sharing choices. Good work as always.

So i see the tag pregnancy, but i don't see it mentioned anywhere in the change-logs, and the last time i downloaded and played, there was none... Is there any pregnancy at this point? Can someone who has played through the content let me know what pregnancy there is and what form it takes? i.e. Impregnation, or just screwing a pregnant woman?

Until now, there is only the impregnation of Sarah, the redhead friend of Christine. It's only a few days (or maybe weeks) since her reveal of the pregnancy. IDK what the dev has planned with the pregancy at all. Maybe someone else knows more about this.

I believe I can find the place again, as well as some previous scenes.
Such as this series on Jennifer not feeling part of the "family", which is not supposed to be a family in this version, making her complaint pretty weird - and then he compares her to a daughter, which is more so.
Is this the place to post them? Or do I need to rejoin the Discord server?

The term family can also not be used just about blood. Think of the mob, are you "in the family?" They are a household, and Sandra and the MC are married, so they are a family at least even in the non-taboo version of the game.

The latest chapter also has another character headed that way...

(Note I've never played the non-incest version)
But surely the status of his tenants have nothing to do with the fact that he "adopted" her after he rescued her from her abusive family, she's not a tenant right? She's his new "sugar baby".
