VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.21.2 S3 Ch.1] [Tropecita Games]

[Trope95]

using the mod and have unclicked and clicked it again already, went ahead and tried the other official one with your suggestion and it did not work either (yes i did put it in a version of the game that i did not have the mod installed in)

Send me your save and I'll fix it, please

I would have sworn about 5 (maybe more) years ago I saw her in something looking very unhealthy and did a Google only to find she'd gotten bad into drugs and then OD'd, but I guess that was someone else.

I'm not sure who that was. Once thing nice about the current age of digital porn is that fewer women have gotten pulled into that lifestyle that was so prevalent in the 80s and 90s. Drug problems were almost expected in those days.

Don't think she died but there was some very dark shit floating around for a while

True, now between live straming, OF and so on, they keep themselves almost always in good shape/health.

I don't like NTR. I don't hate it, but it's not my cup of tea.
I think a storyteller, like Dragon here, needs to write the story that's on his mind and ignore the fallout about that. If he starts to tell himself "I won't write X because collective A will be offended, I'll change Y so collective B likes it, and I will re-write Z so collective C doesn't come to the thread complaining" three things will happen:
The first one is that he won't see his story as accomplishing its full potential because he's writing it with a tied hand on his back.
The second is that, for him, the story will be bland, with the risk of getting bored of writing it.
The third and more important. Collective D will appear complaining about a thing no one thought about someone would complain.

Very true with the cost of abandoning one's story to chase approval.
Not a fan of Netorare myself either. I just know that some of the story elements I will write about will trigger some of the weak NTR people because other men will be in some of the stories.

I'm a noob in this world, it's my first game and I'm still learning the ropes of this hobby/job, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
But... take your risks, make the game you would like to play, tell the story you would like to read, and put a lot of passion into it. As I wrote in the answer above, there will be people complaining about any aspect of the game. It can be the poly thing or the height/weight/hair color/hairstyle/sexuality/wardrobe of a character. Remember you write the game so you take the choices, but also remember the moment you publish it, the game is as yours as the players'. But you can't please everyone. Not even Martha has accomplished it .

Your first game? It is not apparent. You've done a great job.

As an example, I will talk about Kate. I knew Kate was going to be a controversial character. She's overweight (and "lesbian") and there are a lot of people who won't like her looks. But I wanted her in the game. I also wanted the players to give her an opportunity because I love her, so before writing her first scene I knew I wanted to give the option to slim her down. I can have done it inversely (a slim girl who gains weight) and save myself some of the fallout I got about her, but that wouldn't be Kate's story.

Perfect opportunity to share my first thoughts this morning when I woke up.
Mee-maw better keep her big maw shut about Kate (and Kim) or she'll be in a passel of trouble.

The first steps to that have been taken. Maddie will join the DnD game, Megan will start to spend time in the house, Eileen is Erika's co-worker, and Alexia is her customer. When they are accepted into the extended family (some of them don't even need to be in a relationship with the MC, but he is the common point) the family will help them and they will help the family.
One of the saddest parts of the epilogue I wrote was the "rejected Lisa" part. Even if she is rejected by the player, she will try to help the family.

I love that--are you sure you're not my clone?
I haven't invoked any negative points with Lisa, but if given the choice, I have made choices that prioritize the other at this point. I expect that I should reconsider that the more I do for her, I expect the better she'll move out of her current affectation.
One of my future works (written with my first ex) will be about a leather family in space. It will be less about their BDSM relationship and more how they bond together as a family of choice.

Thanks, the next installment is just around the corner.
I like the dumb hero trope, a hero with flaws, although in the next update, the player will have the option of being a bit creepy/perv.

One more thought. I was surprised to see Anthony show up again where he did. My impression of him from the University was that he'd be more likely to match with Jamaal. Definitely looking forward to see how the date resolved for them.

EDIT: With all of my enjoyment and our interaction, I have begun subscribing today!

Nia preview
Today another girl from the last batch of students is here to meet you.
She is Nia (short of Niagara, where she was conceived), a New Yorker with Puerto Rican roots who comes to Newport to start her Business Management studies.
The chair is not her usual outfit. I caught her just before she went into the shower.

Spoiler: Nia

Lovely!

That reminds me of how Ron Howard's kids are named. Their middle name is where they were conceived, like Bryce Dallas Howard.

That could get pretty funny. For instance, Alice Poughkeepsie Howard?

 

[Dragon59]

You can ask, and I am glad to answer

Not every girl will live at home with the MC. Samantha and Simone have their house; the same applies for Alexia, Maddie, and Megan. They can form part of the harem without living there when they join the harem.

The game will have three phases:
* The first phase will cover the arrival at home and the establishment of the harem. It will be closed in v.0.9 with the arrival of the first batch of students. It explores how family and old/new acquaintances are integrated into the budding harem.
* The second phase will cover their first weeks at home, the last arrivals (Grandma and 2 more ladies), and the stabilization of the harem. It also will give the opportunity to the player to impregnate all the ladies s/he wants to see with bellies in the third phase. It will cover the clone/spying plot, too. It explores the new ladies' story, the first bits of competitiveness, the newcomers integrating into the harem, and how the "first girls" interact with the "new girls".
* There will be a time jump (I'm still doing maths about how many months) for the bellies to develop and the MC to do some things off-screen. He won't be in Newport during the time jump, and it will be justified inside the story.
* The third phase is the MC's return home after the time jump. The bellies have developed, the last batch of students has arrived, and the harem is public now. When the MC returns, the second batch has been there for some time and they know about the harem. This phase will show their reactions when they meet the MC and, obviously their interaction with the other girls and how the MC romances them.
* Then a 22 years time jump for the epilogue, where we will know every girl's story depending on:
a) The MC is on her path. (Marriages, professional career, etc.)
b) She's pregnant or not at the end of the third phase. (Children, etc.)
c) Some other variables.
We also will know how the family as a whole (here the concept of family includes everyone the MC cares for) has evolved during those years.

I hope to have answered all your questions.

This morning, I was thinking that Mark wants everyone to know about everyone else. Getting them all pregnant will sort of force that issue....

Better than Alice Kitchencounter Howard.........

 

[Satou Pendragon]

Better than Alice Kitchencounter Howard.........

Even better than Alice Airplane Howard

 

[motseer]

Even better than Alice Airplane Howard

But not better than Alice Hornblower Howard.

 

[Dragon59]

It does explain the fact that his twins have the same middle name: Jocelyn Carlyle and Paige Carlyle. Sounds more like the hotel than the city.

I was right!!! Bryce Dallas (the city, obviously), twins Paige and Jocelyn share Carlyle (as in the Carlyle Hotel in NYC) and Reed Cross (the street where the family lived in London.)

So we would have middle names like "Rocky Beach" and "Janitor's Closet?"

Even better than Alice Airplane Howard

I expect she would have been named something like
Alice Boeing Howard
or
Alice Delta Howard.

Hopefully they wouldn't have been on a Virgin Atlantic flight.

 

[xapican]

But not better than Alice Hornblower Howard.

Do you have her number? with that name she shure likes to give blowmusic concerts ........asking for a friend of course !

 

[xapican]

So we would have middle names like "Rocky Beach" and "Janitor's Closet?"

Or "broken condom" ?

 

[motseer]

She changed it recently. I think it had been posted on too many stall walls. The new one is 169-LpPwr.

 

[Dragon59]

Or "broken condom" ?

I have yet to see a condom, broken or otherwise, in this game.

I wonder how many kids born in May of 1970 had the name Woodstock.

Well, in order for the bellies to be seen months must pass, so even if you knock up all the LIs, the harem will be made public by choice long before that. Remember that, in game, so far the MC has been home for only 10 days more or less.

I actually wanted to say the airport toilet or airplane toilet, but then I changed my mind and said airplane only to shorten the middle name.

Yeah Alice Virgin Howard wouldn’t sound good

Even My Dorm triggered the NTR Inquisition before a sentence rewording in the first chapter! So don't worry about it.
First game, and I hope it is not the last. The next one will be a short spinoff (one update long) to be published between 0.11 and 0.13 as an independent story.
Her priorities are, in order: the MC, the rest of the family, having Great-kids, and the rest of the world, so she won't mind Kate, since she has good childbearing hips.
She won't be too worried also about Kim, she will give her beautiful Great-kids. A very low percentage of vitiligo is congenital, it usually starts because of external factors.
Remember what I said about making the game you would love to play? I wouldn't love to play a game where I should choose a girl over another, so every girl will be attainable. There will be one or two BIG choices for every student that will add and/or subtract a lot of points. If chosen wisely, the girl is yours if you chose so.
Lisa is a sheep in wolf skin (yeah, I wrote that correctly). The more you demonstrate to her that she is a normal person, that you don't care for her money and don't see her as a princess, the more she will love you and the more pieces of her cuirass she will drop.
Family bonding is really nice. One thing I missed in most family games I played is the family doing things a family does, like watching TV, having (non-sexual) fun in the pool, etc. In those games the girls seem to live each in their own void. I wanted to change that.
Anthony has some surprises prepared, or better, I have some surprises prepared where I will use Anthony

This morning, I was thinking that Mark wants everyone to know about everyone else. Getting them all pregnant will sort of force that issue....

He wants to go public before it's discovered by the pregnancies. Right now only Norah has real suspicions of being pregnant, and Alexia and Eileen are a little worried. It's too early for the rest of them.
When they start to get morning sickness at the same time, it will be demonstrated that the contract with the university that required a minimum number of bathrooms was necessary.
Imagine Martha, Emma, Kim, Debbie, Kate, Lisa, and the fifth student needing to vomit at the same time, in the same house. There are "only" 5 restrooms in that house.
Norah's house will be somewhat better, with only Norah, Erika, Daphne, and Betty.

Well, in order for the bellies to be seen months must pass, so even if you knock up all the LIs, the harem will be made public by choice long before that. Remember that, in game, so far the MC has been home for only 10 days more or less.

v.0.11 deals with day 13 after his arrival

 

[TigerWolfe]

Don't think she died but there was some very dark shit floating around for a while

Yeah googled again last night and there's a lot of hearsay forum and reddit posts about some drug problems etc, but nothing conclusive. I hope she's doing good now regardless.
