Ren'Py Monster Girl Dreams [v26.6 Alpha] [Threshold]

[Limited20]

Don't take it the wrong way, but a rotten banana or half-melted butter is enough to break a Nokia in half.

Just as you've guessed: it's a plain percentile. It's an old mechanics, redundant with the Fetishes. Maybe they'll get reworked, but I certainly won't ask for that to take priority over the next area (kept hostage by evil bunnies for 1.5 year).
I've read before that CGs wouldn't be a thing - at the very least until each and every girl has a sprite (and possibly expressions). I'd say some cut-ins or a soundbase, would be a better value/cost investment.

Clearly you have not seen or heard of the old nokia phones my friend. Those nokias are weapons.

And I sure as hell hoep you are wrong about the CGs.
Right now when the mosnter girls are just standing there infront of you and you read the super hot and sexy text, you get rock solid, but you dont have any material to use to finish
In the current state of the game, its simply the ULTIMATE TEASE game.

Like the description of the events is with such depth and in great detail, that you can almost see it. Its unreal.
We dont even get so see some ASS in the game, but the butts are described with such detail that you get turned on either way.

But we have to get some images/cgs that show us the events at some point. Doesnt matter how long we have to wait.
Because right now, lowkey the game just teases you. After played for 30-60 mins of the game, it turned me on to such an extent that Im forced to go into another game's Galerry to jerk myself off, or hentai or anything rly.

Sooo, new to this game and put the mari mod where it was supposed to go and everything. Then whenever I try to go adventuring it does this. I tried deleting it for a fresh start but the saves end up staying there somehow and the problem doesn't go away no matter what I do.

you'll need to clear the forest and progress a little to get at some content, even mod content, try clicking on the partially obscured forest on the left of the town itself, that should get the ball rolling.

And I sure as hell hoep you are wrong about the CGs.

From most of the stuff a quick cursory search has brought up, what he says is true. The general idea seems to be that due to how expensive and numerous they'd need to be, CGs are a total long term/development-end-game thing that won't be happening for a while. From an L30 post last year:

As icollectsouls stated, the long term plans do involve the game getting erotic CGs for scenes, that's why characters that appear in scenes together have their character sprites created by the same artist. This is to make certain that they remain consistent throughout their scenes and sprites whether they are alone or both in a scene together with the player.

And this is straight from Threshold's mouth back in 2019

I'm guessing you mean the lewd CG, which I do plan to add later on, hopefully at least 1 per enemy, with bosses and named characters getting more/priority.

I don't know if the plan has changed or not since then, but this is what I could find on the subject of CGs at least, so I'd recommend either waiting patiently for the time to maybe come or wielding the magical and mystical powers of imagination to help things cumcome sooner.

WTF? this is just a glorifies text based game. whats the point of the art anyway.
Well, shame on me for not noticing the tag but found another way to bait players i suppose.
But damn is it that hard to use the same art to create erotics or is this artist one of those people
that think erotic art is disturbing or uncouth and taboo( closet perverts I say).

But seriously though, most of the dialogue in the first area is repeating the same thing over and over. They could have kept it concise, I am not saying its scummy but the dev wanted to make the dialogue dense for effect just because its text based?
Will all the dialogue be like this continuing forward after the first dungeon or does it have the same thing as too much dialogue just to tell the same thing when it can done concisely. I need to know and what is with it not having a log when there is so much dialogue( I dont care what you think but it feels like too many stupid decisions made by the dev)
P.S: the penalties for actions and decisions are too severe in my opinion.

i dont think anyone has talked about this, but, can vivian be THE goddes? You know, Venereae, she is extremely well informed about angels and the goddes herself, she likes the goddes almost too much, and when she says that the goddes is not a whore she looks upset, very upset

 

[Master of Puppets]

Regarding CGs for lewd scenes they would be nice sure, but I'd prefer to have nude sprites for the girls who don't have them yet first, to make them consistent with the ones who have the layered sprites.

 

[Dosa with spice]

Maybe i was quick to judge this game since it was a text based but the game might be pretty playable with a few cheats of course.
And not all hope is lost but damn the models need to be more scanty.
Edit: YEah people giving me a face palm know that not everybody likes everything done every other way to be liked by everybody. That aside this may not be so bad and i did say i judged it a little quick.
You need to understand my frustration because of the models not having erotica since they are so damn fine and i felt like it was a waste. You would be an idiot to not realize that and the fact that these models can be easily altered to be in some porn albeit the requirement of skill and time. I should also be understanding of any setbacks or difficulties, so maybe sorry.

I feel like this is bait lmao.

This game is progressing at a snail's pace.

 

[tony_redgrave]

Maybe it is or is it? I am just new to text based. I left my opinions out there feel free and not everyone wants to use their imaginations all the time. Atleast this fandom is pretty tame thankfully because if i said what i said in a different thread, people would be flocking to tell me how much of a rube I am. Thanks

Its fair enough if you dont like text based but the game has always been text based, its tagged as text based and the description states its text based: "Monster Girl Dreams is a text based BFRPG made in Ren'Py." (literally the first sentence), so I dont know what to tell you. Most of the cg's are done on commission anyway I believe.

Not sure what dialogue you are referring to when you say "dialogue is repeated". Aside from battle lines in combat, most characters have plenty of unique lines and dialogue options. Enemies will even have different lines based on what stance they defeated you in or were defeated in etc. Gonna have to be more specific on that one chief.

...and what is with it not having a log when there is so much dialogue...

This is just straight up wrong. There is a text log.

This game is progressing at a snail's pace.

Ever heard of Tower of Trample?

Holy shit I feel so dumb now dude thanks. I never thought that maybe I just had to click on something.

I did not say i didn't like, just haven't played many and find it taxing to use imagination( needs a specific mindset and mood for that). Fair enough, i knew i had to point it out- what i am talking about is when npc's start talking or explain some things they go into too much detail and repeat the same concept and words as if we are 5 year olds that cant keep our focus or understand something if we are not told repeatedly( but could be text based thing for clarity and such) like when you ask the guild master about something trivial or ask to explain something or other characters some info. But since i played a few nore hours i noticed it isn't that bad after the starting area( its just a starting area info dump kind of thing).
* More importantly please tell me where this mythical text log is, cause i can't seem to find it. And thanks
Also my mistake my head mostly notices the tags(first few) and cover along with images, since most overviews are either non informative or straight up irrelevant stuff or starting scenario( not to mention i might sometime browse while being addled)

Esc > History

For all else can't really help you if it's not your thing is not your thing but as someone who likes text based stuff i can say this is a really good one

In addition to what littleowen said, it's also right there at the top of the screen.

Threshold is a writer, not an artist. all of the art in this game is commissioned via fundings from the Patreon. If his erotica isn't sufficient to satisfy you, there are other, more visual titles throughout this site you can turn to. Being a DIK is fun if you like frat humor. Holiday Island has some well rendered CGs. Corrupted Kingdoms might work for you if you're looking for something in an anime style.

TL;DR: The maker of this game is fine with erotic art, but that's not where his skills lie.

It literally has the text-based tag.
I guess you skipped that text too, huh.

 

[sandsea_urchin]

What a glum mood ...Time for shiteposting daddy jokes!

dont get excited.

Yo, Thresh, don't ask for the impossible!

 

[Harskialdna]

You don't have to insult me by referring me to ren'py DAZ model games for voicing my misplaced opinions. I dont think i insulted this game in any way but made some misinformed opinions. Yeah and i am sorry for even imagining defects in such a wonderfully crafted perfect game that is so perfect it can't receive criticism or opinions.

He wasn't insulting you mate. He was sharing his opinion on some good game with an art style you might prefer.
If the problem is with the DAZ models maybe have a look at games like Legend of Queen Opala? It's 2D art in a Fantasy RPG set in Egypt (at least the first part). From what I remember, I found the later games less enjoyable as their sex content relies more heavily on bestiality.
