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

[Hordragg]

Pineapple shmineapple! Him not breaking out into song and dance once…?! Now that is some dark shit.

Granted, anything Sarah is a win in my book, I quite like your way of battling writer's block, Nefastus. It's an interesting spin on the characters and has me wondering how my other favourite ladies would (or will, for that matter) turn out. Thank you kindly for sharing it!

about "dark version"
I just can't remember in the main plot of the moment that MC took his daughter by the hair and made her watch him fuck Sarah. I don't remember a moment when he spanked her.

There are a few new renders, but mostly reused. The one by the door is new, too.

Why does the Dark version keep going to the settings page during gameplay?

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

The CAPS are for what? to make a point on something? What are you like 12 years old?

From my perspective using the same character, a goofy one, moving around like a m@lester pervert or something, is disgusting and make me to not wanna play the original game also. Other people like it and it's their taste. This is my view and the Dev comment' s on "side stories" are completely irrelevant

I realy don't care about "Nef's" monotory or development times etc... I realy coundn't care less

If you don't like it, then I'd say...

Very strange, the previous version (from May) is 0.33 and all the latest links are to a 0.33 version?
Is the OP correct? What EXACTLY was updated on 24.07.23?

The Dark version

 

[ImSenjou]

This "Dark" version was not what I expected, it was not "Dark" by the standards of this site, it was very light, I say this to inform those who are afraid of being too heavy.

This version seems to be the vision of a dream of a father or stepfather imagining what could happen if he doesn't control himself, and it wasn't Dark at all in my opinion, it can be said that it was the girls who seduced the protagonist, and not the other way around, that's why I said that it seems to be the vision of someone's dream, maybe the author's.

I imagined that in this Dark version I would see the protagonist forcing himself on younger girls who have no interest in him, to say the least, so the fact that the girls took the initiative to seduce the protagonist was definitely not what I expected.

i like share and ts,not dark enough.if every can fk mc'girls turn every girl into a slut this is DARK

Well, ideas about darkness (or maybe more applicable "darkness I enjoy in a game") can vary, but I would guess if you went out and asked people, the majority would consider actual rape quite a bit darker than somebody being cucked.

Like i said just my opinion, i did read the devs post that's why i said about a big "tip", i have seen it in other games where the devs say no to this tag and fetish then just add it anyway after a a big tip. but time will tell i guess.

Yeah, but usually opinions have something to go on, why people mistrust a statement. A simple added scene for a tag is not really comparable here to a complete rewrite of the story.

That a big enough tip will change matters completely is obviously true, but if Elon Musk came round and offered Nef 100 million for turning the car into a Tesla with the new "X" twitter logo, that would happen, too. That can always happen.

So if you don't like "dark" and thus (I assume) don't play/read it, then how would that affect your enjoyment of the main story? You can just treat it like somebody wrote fan fiction. Or would you be bothered if I told you what fan fiction of your favorite fictional heroes exists?

Of course you can always say "if a dev doesn't do as I say I do not like it, and words are not enough", but I would argue that this is a you thing mostly and for this discussion here certainly less relevant than the dev comments.

I just have one question. If the light side has bad karaoke, how come the dark side doesn't have good karaoke?

 

[Ford Mustang]

I know this game are fantasy when the girls apologizing for something thinking its their fault.lol

 

[Jstforme]

I quite liked the dark version, and ideas for the sister and a darker version of cucking her husband, the hot secretary could have a faience, etc. The whole darker story could add a much more realistic spicy tone that very few games can get right...could easily wind up over shadowing the light heart fantasy original version.
I hope you continue with the dark version

 

[avariciousthumb57]

So does the dark version start from the beginning or does the path diverge somewhere in the story?

 

[Glass Pike]

I personally didn't like him as a bumbling oaf and it seemed like he was becoming dumber each new update. I finally dropped it. Hopefully this makes it better.

The bumbling oaf is more like me, thats probably why i liked him, but each to there own

 

[HunterSeeker]

I thought the Dark Side story was fine. I just would want Nefastus to complete the original main game first before going headlong into another side story or project.

He's already said that he started this because of writer's block, and that it's something he will only make in his free time and that it won't interfere with the development of the main game. So you have nothing to worry about, and I too am looking forward to the main game update.

I'm astonished.
I haven't finished played the dark path yet, but I'm very suprised how many can't or won't read (and understand) what the dev himself has written. With this I'm more than sure, if I would write something like "If you want one dollar from me, go into Midlife Crisis thread and DM me what nef said about his latest update." I would never need to even spend one dollar.*
Its remind me about this one:

*If someone DM me and asked me, even with quoting nef according to my line above, he owns me one dollar. As it would be proven (again) that someone can't or won't understand what others written, in this case "If I would".
