Ren'Py Completed Midnight Paradise [v1.0f Extra] [Lewdlab]

[Hyped]

Well, I would like to share my feelings about the game.

The change to Rem`py is quite positive. The animations and renders are fantastic, as always. The option of the gallery of scenes also seems very useful to me. But there are things that can be improved.

They are not very fanatical of this type of games (free roam). If they are not very well done they give problems. Sometimes you may feel lost... many wondering how to unblock this scene, others claiming a tutorial, others tired of reading: "I should do something esle" or play the same scene 5 times to see the new content. That's why I prefer VN. Everything is easier and you usually see all the content. Even at the time of making the game I think that it is easier and saves many problems.

I miss a story, a theme that pulls the game that complement the sex like in DoD. I also made some retouches in some scenes, for example, dinner in family.. 1 single render for a whole scene???

I feel a little disappointed with the game, I expected something more.

Dev wanted to get away with fewer renders which is why he adopted this annoying sandbox structure. That's my feeling based on the roadmap he posted last year, where he wanted to do 3 or so games in 2019. His unity choice was about gaining patrons and content locking. All of his plans fell apart one by one and now he still has no clue how to direct this game.

Is it me or does that lawyer guy screem bad guy routine ? Here i thought mc was a prick but that guy that gets you out of prison seem to be bigger prick. Animation are now way up their it would have been better if these animations where added to his other game dream of desire as well.

But not much to do other then joga, massage and groping.. his family. i hope the story with bad guy will be more entertaining. the first start where you bang a jock girlfriend was pretty nice then the story with the family started and it all fell apart.

First unity, now walkthrough so sad
hard to get finishing all scenes

Dev promised an objectives screen and some sort of character interaction screen. None of which were delivered with the release. Some night scenes that worked in the unity release are also broken in this one.

Can't believe this is the release we get after a month of delays.

The games with this type of structure is what they have.. but 3 games in a year ???

I actually wonder if thats going to be the case. He is.. somewhat of a black horse. If i view it from a black-or-white point of view than yes. But otherwise, he just seem to be determined and know fully well how to handle a bratty little shit like the mc. He doesn't seem more evil than any distric attonery. Lets not forget that the mc isn't the good guy here. So from Thorne's point of view.. the kid he bailed out is just a jerk that may or may not have potential.

I think he was planning to release another sequel to DoD and another game with 2D graphics.

I think i will just wait for 0.4 release before i play this. IIRC it should drop this month as well.

I feel HUGELY disappointed with the game.

DOD was a great game this game is Pure bullshit

If I were a LewdLab Patron I would feel like you... but since I'm not... I'm just a little disappointed. I do not see myself with enough right to complain so openly about the game.

After the delay i was starting to worying. now i know why.. This game has not have a good start. and return to renpy has made it a bit glitchy too. and the fact their is not much content since 0.2 this is indeed a big dissapointment. I do hope he learns from this is able to deliver faster updates from now on since it is a renpy again.. maybe in few updates i will think differently. but right now their is not much to do.

Seeing game like Badik how many content it got and only at 2 updates and this one who is under developement for a much longer period this is indeed a major dissapointment.

Well, I have to say that the whole development of this game is indeed a disappointment.
People were baffled over the change to Unity for this game, when DoD was one of the largest Ren'py projects around, but we thought that lewdlab wouldn't make this change if he didn't know how to use Unity, after all there are several games using Unity, that have no issues with savegames and UI and generally being user-friendly.

That didn't turn out quite like it should. Next to unplayable first release, where you couldn't even read faster or have working saves. It was fixed, but yeah, why was it even released like that?

Second release was completely underwhelming.

Now the switch to ren'py, which is a good idea, if the problems with Unity weren't going to get away, but then it's still bug-ridden and with ren'py lewdlab really should have the experience for that not to happen.

The next question would be, how a creator with the experience Lewdlab had gathered with DoD and the se-/pre-quel could fall for the sandbox with no content and stupid annoying roaming to search for new content trap?

I'm not one of the patrons any longer so I can't complain, but I have to say it is a bit of a disappointment. Which brings us back right to the beginning of my post.

Dependable_223, This game has not have a good start. And you think it will have a future?

Hard to tell. if he is capable to not screw up the next few updates and make much more content then it is right now and make an engaging story where that lawyer come into play he could safe this project. rough start dont equilize impossible future.

Could be. I see easier to restructure the game... and return to the origins. Add content on what is already done.. I do not know. Before I think it should change some things and give some sense to what you already have...

He needs to fill that "no content" hole somehow. I doubt 0.4 will be any different

im where 0.2 ends, what i have to do now?

 

[Ennoch]

So glad to see the changlog! I mean it revealed that i managed to encounter almost all of the bugs!

Now i want an unclockable gallery for bugs and an achievement image for it

 

[2real]

do we need to restart game now with 3.1?
