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

[blademaster89]

That's exactly how the game works. You can be good with some and bad with others. When there are multiple characters, you persona with the 'main' character sets the tone for choices.

By main I mean the character who's scene it is. For instance, the pool event in the latest version was Kimberley's event, even though Patricia and Alison are in the event. This is why some options are determined based on your affinity/persona with Kimberley.


Others questions I've seen:
Q. Can you avoid the lesbian parts of the game?"
A. It depends on the love interest. There are solo paths that don't include other women (e.g. Kimberley's bad boy path). Other paths involve groups (or eventual harem).

Q. Why is the Smartphone only available in the freeroam or location choice screens? Why can't we have access to it all the time?
A. The simple answer is when you exit the smartphone, it advances the game. The freeroam and location choice are waiting on a specific response, and therefore, the smartphone has no effect. But in normal dialogue or menu screens, the smartphone would cause the game to advance. In the case of menus, it causes the default option to be selected without player interaction.

I am working on it, and will hopefully introduce something in a later release.

Q. Why am I locked out of certain choices, such as feeling Maria's tits or watching Kimberley change?
A. These specific choices depend on your persona with Maria/Kimberley. In this case, Bad Boy.
The level of points you need to achieve Bad Boy will depend on the difficulty you set, with easy needing fewer points than hard mode.

Q. Why isn't there a 'gallery' mode to unlock or replay scenes?
A. The game remembers your choices, as well as your affinity and persona with each character. All these need to be considered, as a scene may reference any number of variables. It's on the 'to-do' list.

Q. Can I accept multiple jobs?
A. Jobs are not a separate game mechanic. They're just a way for the player to interact with characters.
You can accept as many jobs as you want. You generally get a choice, such as Keira reminding you to work after class; you can blow her off and go to the park. Or Mr Adams asking you to work, you can say you're busy and go to the pool with Kimberley instead.

Q. Why am I locked out of certain choices, such as feeling Maria's tits or watching Kimberley change?
A. These specific choices depend on your persona with Maria/Kimberley. In this case, Bad Boy.
The level of points you need to achieve Bad Boy will depend on the difficulty you set, with easy needing fewer points than hard mode.

So, why am I being locked out of my choices after I took all of the bad guy options offered to diminish my persona, and this was on the easy path, following the walkthrough? I even chose the bad boy route with Kimberly, but I was still shut out. My apologies if I am foolish, but I still don't understand, my friend.

A guide to the characters and their preferences would be very helpful.

To activate the latest scene with Maria, you need to have high affinity and a bad boy. You can get two bad boy points with Maria, making this scene possible on Easy and Normal difficulty.

Sunday
If you apologize for seeing Karla in her underwear, you get a Nice Guy point with Maria.

When leaving, if you pick "No Problem, Mrs Thomas." you'll get a Nice Guy point.

Do Kimberley's yoga scene and wait in the yoga room.
Slap Maria's ass for an Affinity and Bad Boy point.

Tuesday
When you catch Maria after her fall, ask if she's okay for an Affinity point.

When massaging her neck, pick Magic fingers for a Bad Boy point.


If playing with the MPatch/Thomas family, where Maria is the Mom, you can get four more Bad Boy points, making the scene possible on Hard difficulty.

When you see her in the kitchen in her yoga outfit, saying it hugs her figure will give you an Affinity and Bad Boy point.

When looking at her butt, pick "Be suggestive" for two Affinity points and a Bad Boy point.

When spying on Caprice, you can ask Maria about the dildo and tease her for two Bad Boy points. If you stop teasing, you'll get a Nice Guy point.

Other options are the same as the vanilla game.

fantastic, now please tell me about Kimberly,

I started this game on version v0.5.2.2, and I really like it. The introduction didn't convince me originally, but after playing and trying out several routes I can say that I enjoy most of the characters. Additionally, I feel that decisions matter, even the smallest ones, so I'll wait for the updates to play again.

 

[TutuRutuT]

I think I will continue to wait until there are some M/D or S/S (or both) scenes

How do i access the NTR?

 

[0000000nowhere]

Lots of teasing but very little action so far, guess we'll have to be really patient. For some reason, the way the game is structured with all the mutually exclusive choices reminds me of Element-174.

I know it's not for everyone, but this is exactly the type of thing I enjoy.

First you need to get a girlfirend, than just be yourself.

Nah, I never cared about anyone enough to be NTRed

 

[crusherkg]

will there be an update for this?

 

[-CookieMonster666-]

will there be an update for this?

It should be relatively soon. Right now in-game marketing class and some other additions / changes are in the beta. All signs look good right now.

Anyone else have a gallery error? Admittedly, it's the compressed version:

The error is because Jacquelyn is missing from the gallery. This is possibly caused by a bug in an earlier version.

Assuming the compressed version has all the latest fixes, the problem should fix itself by replaying a small part. When the game flicks over from Saturday evening to Sunday morning the game will add Jacquelyn to the gallery.

Alternatively, you can clear the gallery completely by deleting the persistent file.

Okay, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

*Spoilers ahead*

"Mrs. Anderson will delve into the philosophy of love, using concepts that intersect with history and literature (since those are the other two subjects in this course).

She will read brief passages from historical literature, with two volunteers to act out the scenes. Max will be one of those volunteers, willingly or otherwise. The other volunteer is Caprice."

I originally wrote that as a summary for the Philosophy lecture.

The intention was for Max and Caprice to act out a scene as Mrs Anderson reads the passage. If Max were the unwilling volunteer, the extent of the scene they act out together would be dialed back.

This scene is in production, and while working on it, I've decided to change how it plays out.

As mentioned before, the overall story for the game is planned out. While I know which story beats a scene needs to hit, I leave the details of that scene until the scene is worked on. This approach allows me to keep the overall vision intact while allowing some flexibility along the way.

Sometimes, the environment in which the scene is set doesn't accommodate an idea, or doing so could make the scene longer than appropriate.

The opening scene with Catherine was originally going to expand on the pirate theme, with her and Max running around together. The small size of the living room wasn't suitable, so that idea was moved to an outdoor scene at a later date.

Back to the Philosophy lecture and what's changing.

Rather than make Max an unwilling volunteer, the player will have a chance to decline to volunteer, or if Max has annoyed Caprice enough, she won't pick him as her acting partner.

In that scenario, Caprice will pick someone else to act out the scene as Mrs Anderson reads the passage.

This alternate version will also help to establish some story beats for another character in the scene whose motivations may appear to contrast with what we've seen already for that character.

This may seem cryptic, but I don't want to spoil too much.
