Ren'Py Mothers & Daughters [v0.6.2 Alpha] [Spin256]

[Spin256]

According to the comments I've read, the game can be good (and it probably is) But... I find myself with the three TAGS that I hate the most... Management, NTR and sandbox... And now I don't know if I would like to play it. Damn!!

According to the tag list - Management [Used when a game contains management mechanics.]
You got me on that one

It's not really a sandbox, just a bit of free roam in my opinion.

The NTR is avoidable.

what I figured out on Windows is that when you custom change your name and hit "continue" it defaults back to Max. But if you custom change your name and hit "enter" it saves the new name.

That was it. I never tried without pressing enter.

And V2.0 is the latest I-patch.

Hmm. I installed the patch, I believe correctly, on the main screen it reports version: 0.2.1-2.0i, but when I start/play the game "Catherine" is my neighbor,

That does not seem like the correct text for a character that is now supposed to be my sister(?). Wondering if I installed the patch incorrectly, if this is the correct text, the wrong text, or something else entirely.

I tried like 5 different playthroughs and still can't figure out how to unlock "stay and watch" option when Kim's changing in her room.

You need to be a 'Bad Boy' with Kim to unlock that option.

Did you copy both eyepatch1.rpa and eyepatch2.rpa into the game folder?

I like it for most of the parts. Unusual renders,plenty of choices and paths. And that require name saves,otherwise until the next update we will forget everything. Also MC name change doesn't work for me. I did change it when started,but they still call me Max...

it is not...telling ppl that u can avoid ntr by not persue LI is not avoidable...by this logic we can decide to not play all games here to avoid any kink what is there....

In preferences, enable save file naming.

For the MC name, ensure to press Enter before continue to comit the name.

I don't understand everyone's dislike of sandbox. The games where you're free to do a lot of things and slowly build relationships with multiple girls for sex scenes are way more fun than being railroaded into a story with no actual choices or actions from the player.

Because 99% of these "sandboxes" are just visual novels with extra navigation system that serves no purpose other than to annoy you with having to navigate to your bedroom in order to skip time in-between scenes or do some other redundant stuff.
You could fit almost every "sandbox" into a visual novel frame by getting rid of all the systems and you wouldn't miss a thing.

Not saying that you can't make a decent sandbox porn game it's just that you can't really do it via patreon with periodic content updates and people breathing into your neck pushing you to release worthwhile content updates everytime which in many cases leads to a sandbox game transforming into a visual novel mid development. So in the end what we get is a bad sandbox or an annoying visual novel.

I like the sandbox elements in the game, so far the game has been excellent, pace is great.

I do hope the dev doesn't do what I've noticed a lot of devs do in other games and that is introduce like 40 more different women, I personally think it's better to focus on the already existing ones.

 

[NakkiMuki]

I've tested the PC and Android versions. Name changes everytime for me. What version are you using and does it show 'Max' straight away or later in game?

It changes all the time. At first it’s the player’s choice, but it doesn’t take very long while there’s a moment for Max and it switches back to the player’s choice. This variation continues throughout the game.

The version is this latest pc version.

 

[Craigs List]

Did you copy both eyepatch1.rpa and eyepatch2.rpa into the game folder?

I did not. I assumed that since we are on version 2.0 the 2.0 patch was the only one needed. I'll pop both in and start from scratch.

Ok, that fixed it... and I understand why. Thank you for your assistance.

VNs that hide behind sandbox are the worst. But sandbox games that have unique sometimes not mutually exclusive paths for each character is dope. Especially when you can repeat certain content.

Yeah i agree, sandboxes can be fun if done properly. And they are the only place for mutually exclusive paths in my opinion.
I hate whenever somebody mentions "replayability" when talking about a visual novel, nothing worse that having to repeat the same 90% of content just to see a different variation of one scene or a different scene that we missed because we choose a different path.
This should only happen in a sandbox setting where you can repeat said scene without having to replay the whole game from the beginning.

But yeah, different strokes for different folks. I just think that most amateur devs can't be trusted with making a proper sandbox game and while it is tempting for somebody to think that it would give them much more freedom where they could jump around and work on different storylines however they see fit at the time, it doesn't really work when making a game via Patreon and periodic releases. And it always ends up as disappointment for both the devs aswell as his supporters.

Renpy games with still images without animation in sex is like brown sugar, hard to eat, is like looking at erotic comics, but still good luck with your game.

Ok, so.... MC is banging both the moms _and_ the daughters, fantastic. But .... I note the lack of lesbian tags. So we don't get the obvious 3 M/D 3somes? C'mon, drilling a girl while she is face-first in her mom's puss would be fantastic.

Do i need to wait for updated ipatch or does v2.0i still work for v2.1?

It works perfectly.

I can't open ipatch, antivirus detects a virus --> Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
