Ren'Py Completed My Cute Roommate [v1.6.1 Ex Beta] [Astaros3D]

[tsunku]

Thats exactly the issue and after 4 times restarting i simply lost all interest in the game completely. Even if the dev would fix all that and present the game again i would not play it.

As example i get kicked out of the cousin after a flirting with the secretary at her office. I restarted the entire game did everything again exactly the same way BUT this time didnt flirt with the secretary. Guess what? She still kicks me out.

After restarting again doing everything again i figured out that i missed a scene in her office and thats why she kicked me out a scene that like you said for some odd reason just didnt trigger the first 3 times. After that i played some more until i went to barbara and the same shit happend again.

I get kicked out cause a scene again didnt trigger. And quite frankly thats bullshit.

Everyone who doesnt have this issue can enjoy this game to his full extend but im sitting here having one missing scene after another and can restart the game every few steps. 3 Steps forward 5 step backwards tracking what went wrong to figure out oh it wasnt me the game is jus garbage.

heh you get kicked out cuz she knows it's you haha

I entered the password on the DICK computer and watched the pictures. What should I do next? How does the story go with the director?

ok how the hell do you get to where you can do that?

 

[tsunku]

i catch rats and put on office, i've seen the boss'cousing in Dick's computer, wha i do next?
i suppose i need progress with librarian, if i talk with her, What options i choose to progress with her?

but where do you get the idea about rats etc?

 

[tsunku]

The cousin's office is now unlockable.

yes i know, i've done the photos, said dick stole her folder, then nada, some ppl keep talking about catching rats but no idea how they get to that cuz too damned many ppl keep asking the exact same questions over and over and over as if they can't be bothered to read the 90 million other times someone asked the exact same question thus no one ever tells anything about where i'm stuck...

After you agree to help her talk with Dick. You'll notice a red dossier and can tell about it to your cousin. After that you'll be told that something fishy is going around and Dick is hiding something. Talk with the secretary to do a photo session at the office in the evening. DON'T LATE. Or save beforehand You can fail this quest if you are late. Meet her at the appointed time and you can try to get into Dick's office. IT wont work but you'll learn that she is afraid of the rats so you'll have to catch one to distract her. Have to by a ratcatcher then talk to Jamal he'll tell you where you can find rats.
Set up another session with Secretary and release the rat. Get inside Dick's office, notice the code, enter his laptop, check photos and emails. You can then catch the Director and Dick screwing , by the drone at midnight.

0.5 is my first playthrough, which I haven't finished yet. Game is quite grindy, which for the most part I don't mind, however that FUCKING STUDY MINIGAME is soulsucking CANCER and made me want to end all life. The only good things about it is there weren't requirements to repeat it, nor did it apparently make it impossible to do so, unlike if you tried that when working at the store. I did five study sessions a day, searching and save scrumming each pairing until I maxed out INT; If I have to start a new game I'm just going to unlock it then use the cheat. NEVER AGAIN.

Another issue I have is with the fighting. This is one thing you cannot save scrum BTW, it just resets the bars. I was on the way to winning the first fight with Dick in the doorway when all connecting hits just 'suddenly' became barely effective, and then it was only a matter of time before the KO. I know this is currently designed that way, but that's just lazy storywriting. I feel that there's no reason why you can't have a chance to win and have the story still get you to the hospital. What's even worse is the fight to help Jamal the homeless guy: I was at STR 15 and knocked the bastard out twice in the same fight, and he just fucking recovers, 'oh, you can't just knock me out like that, hurhurhur'?! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! That pissed me off (if that wasn't evident).

Mechanics-wise, there is one issue that I feel is pretty important when it comes to porn games: all the sexual encounters end automatically, and you have no choice in the matter. I feel that it should never be this way. The encounter should always end on the player's choice, not the developer. If it's looping content, it should repeat forever until the player chooses to move on. In the case of getting hard by watching the trainer, just have the 'stop watching' button appear when it's been long enough. This could also be worked out in a logical manner when peeping on the cousin's morning exercise.

There's one obvious reason why we play these games, and having content end automatically is the difference between mere titillation and having time to enjoy the content.

Um, other issues. Rollback doesn't work half the time, and choice menus become locked when it does, forcing you to use a save to reset it. Hiding text/UI is disabled, which I personally find both annoying and unecessary. On the other hand, learned about extracting .rpa files.

thank you thank you thank you, you are a gentleman and a scholar. i didn't do the photo shoot with the secretary cuz i thought it'd end up with cousin kicking me out haha damn so simple and i missed it.

Noone can argue with you over that. I definitely won't! I gave up after 18 and cheated in the remaining INT.

nor did it apparently make it impossible to do so, unlike if you tried that when working at the store

Store workings like everything else needs to be done when fresh. But to be honest after a while it becomes soulcrushing anyway so cheats are the way to go! No shame in it. I don't like using cheats but in games like these.. they are a must! I wouldn't be playing this game without cheats. I did it at first. Not anymore, no way.

but that's just lazy storywriting

I disagree. I think its perfectly fine to be fated to fail. Scripted to loose. You just have to accept the fact that you can't fight. Can play the hero but playing the hero won't make you a trained fighter. Period. The probelm is, because there are some truth in what you say, how this is done. Its done in a way that it appears that you won! Thats a poor solution. If i can't win.. make it appear so! I KOed Frank too just to see him recover because it was scripted that way. Well, it would have been better not to be able to bit him at all. Helps the immersion much more.

all the sexual encounters end automatically, and you have no choice in the matter. I feel that it should never be this way. The encounter should always end on the player's choice, not the developer.

But unfortunately this is how things go in most games. I assume, because i don't know, there is something that prevents this to be coded this way easily. Hence the reason these games have Galleries so you can watch them. My problem.. if its not looping even in the gallery. Hard to fap if i have to click restart every 10 seconds or so.

just have the 'stop watching' button appear when it's been long enough

Which proves there is an easy solution, who know why it wasn't implemented with every animations... [EDIT]Well, i could have deleted this part but i won't, just to show that i wasn't sure. Now that i come to think of it.. animations do play in an endless loop, aren't they? If i recall, they do.

In both fights I depleted his health 3-5 times before I finally lost. It confused me greatly

Exactly. It suppose to be obvious when we can't win a fight. No problem with that. If the opponent is stronger/better it really should be shown instead of this built-in-steroid-injection-thingy. It just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It can be called a minor nuisance but to be honest, for a completely new player it can be very confusin just like you sad. Why he isn't going down when health is zeroed! Makes no sense. Its not logical to think this is normal.

Yet i'd hope for bug fixes first and foremost. I can live with this fighting mechanics since this isn't a fighter game after all.

Nothing happens when i click on the rat, then it says that the rat is gone.. i have the ratcatcher, what am i supposed to do?

you need to weaken it first

use thundershock until hp is under 50% them use your pokeball

Oh no, not by far. The completed game requests means the request was fullfilled and the game uploaded.

Now that i come to think of it.. animations do play in an endless loop, aren't they? If i recall, they do.

First, thanks for sharing on that!

One perfect example I'll give is the cousin dream. It does run on a loop, but ends in... I'm gonna guess 20-30 secs? The scene is awesome and totally hot, :happyblush but you can't take your time with it. The only thing you can do is make it a save and keep going back to it. Trainer loops also auto end. You can extract the files and stick them in a video player set on repeat, but... it's just not the same. And what if the sound effects or music aren't part of the vid file? Then definately so.

What I wasn't clear on is choice with encounters ending; for example, you're er, 'enjoying the content' in the average Ren'py game, which is usually made of images, or maybe a loop made with 2-4 images (you know the kind, we've all seen that). You're advancing the scene image by image, and choose to finish up with the climax scene. Here though, I don't see a particular way to do that kind of thing; the scenes are on a timer, and depending on options, you can only choose to shorten it by going faster.

 

[Ennoch]

with 2-4 images

Ohgods, if those would be made with 4 images! How wonderful that would be! But no.. they are mostly done with 2.:'(

Hmm so it auto-ends. Interesting. I totally remembered them to be on loop and the button serving as a stopper. So it does auto-end you say.. Then what i said in my previous post was true after all. This is how its done in games most often than not and i can only assume there is some reason behind it. I don't see why this would be done simply out of whim. I'm not a coder though, its just a feeling. I've seen this issuse discussed here and there and i kinda think there must be some coding obstacle to make loops like that in cases of videos of course. Best option is still the Gallery. One can only hope that all vids end up in the gallery though.

 

[Zeke Frost]

Oh no, not by far. The completed game requests means the request was fullfilled and the game uploaded.

I see. Still new to the forum. Looks like a good game. Trying out latest android release out there. Still waiting for updates on others like Corruption, Solvalley School, and max's life.
