VN Ren'Py My Bimbo Dream [S2 v2.0.6] [MBD]

[Hersom9912]

Before playing this I didn't know that i dislike corruption content so much.

Let's assume FMC is "Landlady" who raised you for your whole life, led respectable life and gave you much love.
And all 3 paths just make my stomach turn.

Not my cup of tea. As i say if content contains NTR or Harem it usually corrupts the other and ruins it for both parties.
It's too much job to create a dedicated NTR - Harem path. They are opposite spectrum fetishes.
My kindest advice if you wish to create NTR, make it NTR do not waste resources towards opposite spectrums.

When i was a kid i wanted combinations of RPG and RTS in gaming. Over the years there were some, almost all of them sucked or were lacking due to divided attention. (Mount and Blade is heavily RPG than anything strategy)

Genre combinations take up too many resources if you want to create quality and if combinations are opposite spectrums it just makes it so much harder and expensive.

EDIT:
P.S. I would like to see counter points to my statement. Genuinely interested in opposite views, becoming rusty here and losing my ability for counter perspective.

A counter point would be this exact game right here. It has very good renders, good animations (most of it), a good amount of nice scenes to all paths you choose, and all this without take a fucking year to release a update like all other games. And the result is devs going pretty good on patreon, have the game already on steam and already developing the second season of the game all this in just in less then 2 and a half years.
So i'd say they are doing pretty well devoloping this game with both ntr and harem content.

 

[Darth Sidious]

Do we have to wait 10 days again for the new update?

It's alright mate, dev deserves his paycheck too - if top tier will just leak it for free then there is no reason to pay anymore, then there is no reason to develop the game anymore neither. Us pirates gotta take what we can get, for the fact it's free for us and all.

Now i at least understand why people disagree.

I forgot to mention that i do not have problems with animations and renders (though it should be obvious).
My grind is with the narrative.

As i stated this is NTR - Harem game. NTR i think is a major influence. And it takes a lot of skill and effort to unstick NTR from Harem and vice versa.

I dislike NTR, plain and simple. Corruption? I was somewhat neutral until i played this game and finally now i have a concrete understanding that it is the same as NTR for me.

My point is that despite having 3 initial ways - They all somehow fall under one category. And the harem route gave me almost the same disgust i get from NTR. (MC being a creep doesn't help much too).

Lastly renders and animations are the least interesting thing for me. I play for the story and narrative.
If this VN was marketed as NTR/Corruption with harem elements i would understand.
But it was marketed as:
My Bimbo Dream is a Bimbofication, Corruption focused visual novel with optional NTR.

I might be wrong (didn't play a lot). But i felt the touch of NTR even through the harem route. Ideally this shouldn't be the case, maybe case with corruption and/or bimbofication being aligned and closely related to NTR umbrella, might be the case.

One of the reasons why i didn't rate this game was because i was already somewhat warned by description and tags. And after playing the harem route (not long just about the moment when FMC was sunbathing and MC sprinked her) i felt this content wasn't for me. I don't like harem much but having harem with weird ntr vibes? Nope.
So my reasoning is like this: That routes or genres are intertwined i.e. elements and/or atmosphere corrupted both.
And it takes great skill, time and resources to create a dedicated route.

I too agree season 1 is heavily similar to other optional NTR games where it have similar type of issues we seen in all rest of the games. But, season 2, devs stated that they give preference to the choices and make dedicated content based on those paths. Let's see how well it goes.

Okay, so are there some aspects of the game you don't enjoy. Just like others, on nearly every page across this whole site. We see that, I guess. You stated your preferences and dislikes. Fine.

But I feel your real statements are about the skills required to present 2 or more separate paths in a game, and your belief that doing so, is always to the detriment of one or the other.

I think you are overthinking the difficulty. Not to say that it is easy, or "a piece of piss" as they say in my country. It is hard, especially to do without bugs showing up, or "cross-talk" between the genres. Some do much better than others. Some "single" devs do it with much difficulty. The bad ones get many complaints, as you will see when looking around.

Here, in this game (and quite a few others), there is a team, each taking some part of the work-flow, specialising. Whether you agree with the outcomes or not, that team is now doing a great job (maybe not actually perfect) keeping it separated, (and correcting if they get valid critiques). If you have one, point that out, it might go somewhere.
There are in fact many games that have many separate routes, some up to 16 or more usually 2-4. 3 routes is not far up that difficulty scale.

If its the whole NTR v Harem debate that you have in mind, and not the skills required, then I would just refer you to several hundred pages in many other games that have tried it with varying success, for comparison sake. You might find some like minded souls and speak with them instead. That debate is ceaseless and ongoing, and I for one, am past it....

Just adding my two cents, you might get the wrong impression if you didn't play a lot. I didn't fully play the harem or cuck paths, but the corruption path ("toy" option) features a very noticeable progression of the MC, from a rather dumb pervert to a confident, dominant guy who's not a complete jerk, but loving and protective of his girls. This progression is gradual and felt very satisfying. I agree that the MC's initial disposition is at times off-putting, but it felt all the better as he gradually tamed his pervert habits. It's good enough that the toy/sharing path feels to me like the canon path, can't see how either of the others could be as good, although I'm clearly biased as I don't like cuckoldry, and purely harem games are too boring to me.

First time I was misled by the way those three paths are presented, mistakenly chose the cuckold path and almost threw up after a couple of scenes, then rage quit for a few months. Gave it another chance when I realised my mistake - you wouldn't guess that the MC wanting to make Sue his "toy" would be a choice that would lead to what feels like an "open harem", but that's what it is. It's much better than a simple manipulative bastard corrupting girls, you can love and share each of the girls in your harem, or not, your choice each time. Good power fantasy with enough romance and surprisingly mature dialogues about and during sex, not soppy talk. Don't know if the pure harem path can beat that, and, like I said, my reaction to the cuckold path was visceral.

This game, imho, proves that the "harem vs ntr" debate can be misplaced. There's good enough writing that you can explore the in-between with a decent amount of freedom, and it doesn't feel like a mess at all.

Didn't know the "bimbo toy" path would be like that, I'll have to give it a shot. Picked the "slut" path over the bimbo toy one for much the reason - I dislike NTS/netorase which is when the MC clearly wants the LI to fuck other men, that makes the NTS MC unrelatable to me unlike real netorare/NTR where the MC doesn't want it to happen - and the description for the bimbo toy path sounded like it might lean in harder on NTS than the slut one.

"Pimp" - that you'd be destroying/pimping them out as prostitutes after corrupting them, a particularly crazy attitude to have towards Sue given who she is to you. "Sharing"- that you would even be in the room as they fucked other people. That clearly sounded like strong NTS/netorase.

By comparison the "slut" path that is advertised as NTS still sounded like it could be experienced as something relatively closer to a NTR/Netorare path where the MC doesn't necessarily want them to fuck around, compared to the bimbo toy one. Things like "voyeuristic" sounding like she'd be doing it behind your back or you'd only accidentally perceive it at a distance, "cuckolded" an ambiguous word that originally never implied the man being ok with it etc. Submissive- that it could happen out of meekness rather than necessarily by MC's desire or choice.

It turned out the "slut path" MC has a NTS fetish, but I still ended up enduring and liking the playthrough despite having to stomach and make choices against the MC's nts tendencies in order to limit Sue's fucking around - a testament to how skilled devs are.

I then played season 1 of the harem/no-ntr path and as expected it's watered down with no risk and tailored for a very specific and perhaps dishonest/trollish crowd who'll still complain about other men even existing in the same universe.

The "netorase" advertised is technically correct (the MC enjoys it) but it's of the "pure cuckold" type, where the MC doesn't get any. NTR/S tags are useless to me, since I group together stories that result in negative/humiliating experiences for the MC, regardless of whether there's cheating. Being assigned the cuckold chair permanently is just as bad as having your LI leave you for a rival. But, likely, good for players who focus on the female character(s) and don't give a shit about the protagonist, as the female characters will slut around more than in the "bimbo toy" path. Again, the "bimbo toy" title may be misleading, but the description given is closer to truth (dominant, sharing, exhibitionism). You have the choice as to how emotionally attached your MC will become to each of the girls. Not forced to treat them like mere objects. Sam's path is particularly cool, if you take her back as your girlfriend, it feels more like you're encouraging her to explore her repressed exhibitionistic side than twisting her into it.

Thank you for input. I will shelf this game for now. But your input gives hope.

I told about my preferences only to reveal why I wasn't willing to push through with the game longer.
The skill thing? I agree that different routes isn't as hard as i put it. It becomes hard when opposites collide.
The whole NTR vs Harem(traditional) is like two spectrums. One is submissive while the other is dominating. One for sharing other for ownership.
As above stated reply told me, it certainly seems that season 1 was indeed corrupted by that i mean they were unable untangle NTR from Harem (and vice versa).

Good input.
1st comment gave me hope for something better during season 2. You gave me hope that things will be better during Season 1. I have already played one game where i had to suffer through 30 minutes of insufferable MC to finally see something resembling a man and after that it was smooth sailing.
