Ren'Py Monster Girl Dreams [v26.1a Alpha] [Threshold]

[sandsea_urchin]

I'm not into typical findom stuff but Paradebuster (iirc, might have been another game) had a couple of casino bunnygirls that force you to gamble on a cheating roulette wheel and it did strange things to me

Agreed! (except it's Smashboy, but gotta play 'em all anyway)

But it's not the findom imo, it's the loss of control - the illusion that you might actually just change the course of the event... while you were f*cked in more ways than one, when you "failed" to notice the different atmosphere
Best comparison in MGD would be Trisha's fight, with a fetish or five. Or Sophia, if you live long enough to appreciate...

Regarding the delay:in Threshold's defense, I would have long killed myself if I were forced to spend over a year's time with the venal Venefica... Kidding. But we'd have one well-cooked rabbit for sure.
Bunnygirl addiction? MGD has the perfect cure!

Looking forward the fight all the more! <memorizes Electrify, oints whip, dices carrots >

Sorry if this has been answered before, but are there plans for more Elena content in the future? I'd assume so but I wanted to see if there's been any official statement regarding that.

I'm pretty surprised that none of the vendors have any actual scenes other than Elena's at the brothel.

I'm back again, thanks for the build advice, swapping to a Tech/Int build really made things run a lot smoother, though it does feel a bit weird to play a battle fuck game where my plan is to avoid fucking as much as humanly possible. Anyway, now that I'm at the end of progression and just building up all the relationships on the side, I had a few more questions, less gameplay related and more about future development of the game.

1: Is romance intended for every named character? Given that the game is still being made, it's hard to tell if everyone is intended to go deeper or just remain someone you can bang. Also on that note, how much content is the expected average per character? I doubt everyone will have as much as say, Kotone, but some like Minoni you enter a relationship with pretty quick and I don't see anywhere for it to go once sex is enabled. This isn't a criticism mind you, I just want to know what the general plan is for characters in general.

2: How locked in is Minoni's romance? When you unlock her scenes, her body sees you as her mate but you can be vague about how deep the relationship is. Related, but if that means it is locked in, is there a way with save editing to reset back to before unlocked that content? My understanding is that there's plans for harem endings and individual romances, so I'm trying to keep my file on the brink of romances so I don't need to make new characters for them (though that's obviously thinking very far ahead). I saved after unlocking her stuff though so I want to know if I need to or can back out to keep that path open. I suppose it's also relevant for Kotone but I'm pretty sure I can just undo hypnosis at any time to break that off if I want.

3: This one is a bit loaded, but how exactly does undeath work in this setting? Specifically in regards to Feng. There's a lot of semantics about biology I could get into but that's more me thinking harder then I should be about magic. I'm basically just trying to gauge to what extent she is effective a different form of alive or just a body moving around thanks to magic. Again, sorry if this comes across as... I"m not sure what negative word to use. The thought just creeped into my head and I'm trying to dislodge it.

A++ analysis, this is indeed my favourite thing about the Trish encounter and the casino encounter. Maybe in the capital there'll be some more NPCs who use social pressure and trickery to tempt/manipulate the PC.

A bit silly to report just one missing word... but:
KotonesRoom.json, line 2045: "Even fifty later, I can barely stand". Missing 'years'

As for the individual, Feng, that's a story from 50 years ago. You'll hear it from Kotone after you strip the 'Imma hypnodomme' armor off her. Sofia also has a few titbits about that period and before.
The glaring part left out, would be:

I really love this game and was wondering if anyone knew of any other games with a system similar to the fetishes (or to a lesser extent sensitivities) in this game. I’ve played all the Fenoxo games as well as Lilith’s throne and Tales of Androgyny, and I am playing Shrift right now. Sadly I’ve never seen another game with such a well fleshed-out fetish system like this one.

(Also any game with addictions I like, such as the red myr venom in TiTs)

It's buggy but Night Games Mod (literally a mod for night games called night games mod) has a somewhat similar combat system to MGD, and is entirely focused on progressing down various inflicted addictions with the girls from the vanilla game. The base game does technically have you pick a fetish weakness at the start but it's mostly just a gameplay mechanic / damage change in that.

Other than that, maybe try Tower of Trample, and Trap Quest. Latter is quite focused on gender bending / feminization / crossdressing stuff but as long as it doesn't gross you out it is reasonably avoidable to a point, with some savescumming.

you talking about necrophilia?
i guess there's a chance we encounter some other kinds of undead
like zombie or mummies in the pyramid

but i doubt the content will be much different from what we already have....
means you won't be able to fuck a rotten corpses hole if that's what you want

Okay wow this is the exact opposite of the response I was afraid to provoke. My concern is that undead by the settings rules are effectively walking bodies preserved by magic and as you said, ew, gross. The only undead I've really interacted with is Feng is she's in that middle ground where she's an animated body with no heart beat but still clearly has organic functions so I'm trying to puzzle out whether undeath in this setting is preserved bodies or effectively a new kind of living thing that happens to have been previously dead.

This unfortunately doesn't answer the questions. I honestly have no idea what your answers are trying to say. I'm not sure how reliable the lore on the real world mythology behind jiangshi is for my question since obviously these kinds of settings take liberal interpretation of their source material for the sake of sexy. I've seen the scenes your spoilers allude to but they aren't really addressing the core of my question.

 

[johndoe2]

This game is probably the best erotic game out there, great work!

In my personal opinion it seems to be the latter. Undead are entirely new 'living' (unliving?) creatures though they don't have the normal biological needs that most living things need.

I definitely recommend you do cause its a good game, but the game they're actually thinking of is SMASHBOY by the same guy. Paradebuster doesn't have a casino.
Edit: Correction: There is a casino in ParadeBuster, but only as the setting of a subquest. they don't touch your money.

ok thanks, never heard of smashboy though, I will look it up. Findom isn't a usual tag yet it's among the cooler tags in my opinion. So much can be done with it that we haven't seen yet in games or I haven't.
loli whatever daddy stuff.. Daddy buy be a new car, tyyy, you're the best!! daddyyy I want you to kill that awful man, love you daddiii, mwah! eeh that wasn't findom but it was cool either way
This was just one example, we have the findom here too, and there are other ways to do it too. I love NTR and findom in games but wouldn't want in IRL.. unless sex life is totally crap, then... maybe

Well, I hate to vex you further, but I think you're actually answering a different question to the one I asked. Your answers are focused on individual character traits and the story as narrative while I"m trying to pin down the game's code and hard setting details.

In Minoni's case, sure, it's up to interpretation (at least thus far) just what you feel for each other, but in terms of game coding it's not. The game will have what is effectively a flag for MinoniRomance yes/no, where yes means you're romantically involved and she's a part of your harem, will be in the ending etc. or at least that's what I understand to be Threshold's plan for how the ending works, I could be wrong about that. I'm trying to figure out whether or not unlocking her sex scenes flips that flag from no to yes or if it just unlocks her sex scenes and locking her into the romance/harem/ending is something else that might not be implemented yet.

Spoiler: In Feng's case

As for the Fenoxo thing if you'll forgive the digression (incidentally, that's how I learned about this game), I think his overly specific style is largely related to the nature of his games as compared to MGD. In MGD, we're a loosely defined character whose only characteristics are that they are male and very attractive. In Fen's games, a large part of the appeal is using the transformations to build your ideal vision for your character. Having all those tags for your X size animal type genitalia is there to help reinforce for the reader that they are indeed matching the ideal vision of their character. It's a different sort of appeal, though as someone who likes to just be vanilla generic human and focus on the other characters for the sexual thrill, a lot of that doesn't mean much to me.

In the discord thresh said the update will likely come out today as long as no huge bugs get in the way. Sounds like the only thing left is finishing up some of the reporting stuff with Elly and adding the option to repeat the scene.

 

[smithjohnsonian]

Any updates?

 

[slimyboi]

Any updates?

He is planning to have it out sometime tonight EST, looks like all that’s left to do is the ability to repeat the scene/fight (can’t remember which).

Alright, to hopefully conclude my tangents, I did a bit of digging and found a way to check flags on the wiki. This does confirm that there is a lovers flag that I have triggered. Does anyone know enough about Renpy to know how to uncheck a flag or am I just going to have to either deal or load an older save to undo it? This is what it looks like in console

Knowing Renpy isn't the issue, you'd need to know what functions specific to this game are. There may not even be one to unset flags if that function isn't used by the game.
