Ren'Py Monster Girl Dreams [v26.2a Alpha] [Threshold]

[THELivingBeing]

Heard about "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy"? He was explaining to the player during the gameplay about how inflicting pain to the player makes the "treat" or a "prize" for finishing the game more satisfying. Kotone's situation is the same - her story makes player sad, her "treatment" makes him even more sad, but that makes the "First Lovey-Dovey Sex" scene just Adorable...

To me, that scene was just a bit weird. I mean, she basically treated you like a piece of shit all the time, manipulated you, but then fell in love with you because you "proved your worth" or something. I mean sure, the scene is cute, but this transition just didn't work for me.

I'm just wondering why Kotone is allowed to be a weird psychotic evil bitch but cute stupid psycho church lady was too much.

Lillian isn't a psycho

 

[Master of Puppets]

I'm just wondering why Kotone is allowed to be a weird psychotic evil bitch but cute stupid psycho church lady was too much.

Because... she was supposed to be, and Lillian wasn't?

 

[Volta]

Because... she was supposed to be, and Lillian wasn't?

Kotone's character requires a bit of emotional rehab and her line of interactions gets her most of the way there, Lillian wasn't expected to get that sort of treatment.

 

[Kratmann]

I like Kotone's seductive mastermind persona, I think it's pretty hot. Plus the MC probably knows what he's getting into.

I'm excited if we get to meet more ladies like that in the Capital.

 

[Quintilus]

mastermind persona

You seriously right now or trying to make a joke?

I kind of excuse her on this one. In my opinion the challenge was just an excuse for her to boost her ego, and I can understand that since she has been hurt in the past and thus has trouble trusting people

Def more so just the insecurity issues with trust. When you get mentally broken like that, you go to desperate lengths to keep things close to you. Messed up, but somewhat understandable.

 

[geheim12347]

Yeah, the whole psycho slave thing definitely feels like a way to make sure nobody hurts her again. Sort of a coping mechanism that developed into a kink. Like they say, children engage in play to cope, adults engage in "play" (kinks) to cope.
Plus, I don't think she did anything worse than the average monster girl you encounter? Like, she even offered you the possibility to back out of the hypno thing at any time.
She feels less like an evil master mind and more like a person with severe trauma.

Her background makes it kinda rough (and it's way darker than anything else in the game) but it seems violence like that was just way more frequent? I mean, Feng and her just got attacked by a group of adventurers that killed Feng with no second thought so...yeah. But probably best not to get into that part too much. Don't wanna start a discussion about monster girl war morality.

 

[kingarthur0407]

Beris' CG seems to break and go back to a text description after the first scene and then stays that way forever. Sorry if necro, didn't find a fix in search.

 

[kingarthur0407]

Also, is there a sandbox mode or mod? I'd like to be able to fight any number of any enemies I want, without 1 shotting them due to my late game build.

What version you on?

 

[KyuubiGoku]

Until the Demon Queen is revealed, I hope its gonna be Perpetua and all her antics were to get me to lower my guard the whole time. That'd be the greatest twist of the century!

 

[kingarthur0407]

What version you on?

current, 24.4a

You doing something wrong. It works fine for me.

 

[WolfGirlsAreLife]

Because... she was supposed to be, and Lillian wasn't?

Pretty sure Lilian was changed because people got upset at it, not because it wasn't how she was supposed to act.

Edit: did some minor digging out of boredom. From what I can gather I think it involved people thinking old Lillian acted too much like a religious extremist. May be wrong, it's been like 2 years since that whole thing happened.

I am very blind and dumb so searching the thread didn't help but how do I go about adding mods to android? Do I just make a folder titled "mods" and slap em all in there or is it a bit more complicated than that?

Edit: it literally was as simple as making a mods folder (inside of a game folder), but now I can't figure out how to make the mods actually work.. keep getting errors involving the png files not being found. I'll post the error log here for anyone that mightve had the same issue or if someone knows how to fix it.

You're missing a copy in a /mods folder, aside from the one in /game/mods folder. Check the link in my signature, /mods is used for the mods to be able to find their images.
