VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.25.2 S3 Ch.5] [Tropecita Games]

[Horny Toad]

Only one writer/renderer. And it's the same person.

About the writing, I learned about NaNoWriMo some months ago, when a player told me about it and that his story there ended up being the seed for an AVN he is doing.
It's easier to continue a story you know where it is going, with characters that you know how they think and talk, than starting something from zero. The dialogues almost write themselves (no AI here) because the scenes and the characters call for some things to be said. Most of the time, I need to stop the MC from saying a long speech. Or Emma to go on a rant, or Martha to become too emotional.
I always have been a fast writer, with an average of ~650 words/day during the whole My Dorm development. The highest average with normal development (0.3 and 0.4.5 don't count) was 0.7A (835 words/day) and the lowest was 0.10A (335 words/day). Right now, 0.16 is at 843 words/day, but that number will decrease; I won't write more but some days will be spent in wrapping the update. It would be the fifth (normal) update with over 700 words/day if I publish it next Monday.

650 wpm on story, now how much for writing messages on here and replying to everyone on here (plus all the private messages)?

I hope it's at least on a computer and not a phone.

I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just asking to get a general idea of the game.
Is this game about catching them all as Pokémon and living in the same house WVM style?
Obviously with fewer ducks in the house and I guess more normal length days ?

Yes. But you can also solo romance or even go stag if you want.

Pretty much, although I'm pretty sure I remember trop saying not all members of the harem will actually live in the same house with you. Most of the LI's will, but there will be a few exceptions. Maddie (chick you meet who works at a clothing store), being a good example of one of those exceptions. I could just be misremembering though, maybe I hallucinated him saying that?

You're right. In addition Megan and Alexia.

Also to keep this on topic: Kim is beautiful. All the women in this game are beautiful. I just prefer Daphne.

OK, that makes here the lyrics for Willkommen, from Cabaret:

We have no troubles here! Here life is beautiful...
The girls are beautiful...
Even the orchestra is beautiful!

I don't know what WVM is but girls here are very charming not monsters with exceptions of one or two, so I don't think it's like Pokemon.

Not to mention there's no Queen Duckface or any of her duckface minions.

I'm sure that makes Yvier sad.

I'm sure that makes Yvier sad.

Win-win I say.

You guys are tempting the mods.

I would say... stop...stop...stop...stop

Just getting back to this one after a bit of a hiatus - I didn't really do much VNing in Q3 of 2023, and have slowly been catching up. Based on the change log, I last played release 11.A.1. This is going to be at least a couple of weeks given the limited amount of play time I'll be able to get in over the next several weeks... I have a feeling my save list is going to get even more out of hand with as many LIs and likely branches we have now - and I'm only doing the "Family" route at the moment. As a completionist, and given that there seem to be some significant differences on the non-fam, things are gonna get crazy - I'd be really interested to see Trop's flow chart for this thing.

Why am I announcing all of this? Well, instead of commenting on other people's stuff so much, I'll probably be posting a running commentary of my observations and reactions, so you might want to put me on "ignore" for a while.

As a player and enjoyer of both AVN's, there's no further comparison besides the Harem word.

But, even there, there are slight differences of interpretation.

I'll leave the other game aside and focus on this one:
1- There is a Ipatch available.
2- With maybe 2 or 3 exceptions all the girls you see in the game are romanceable.
3- With one exception (explained in game) you can impregnate all the LI's, in the first creampie, by choice.
4- At this point (v.0.15) not all LI's have been introduced, and, some that you do know, have yet to be added to Harem.
5- This game has a very high focus on Player Choice. Up to a point.
6- There is not much interaction with the College.
7- The plot has nothing to do with sports or school life.
8- The game has a built-in Walkthrough.
9- Steady, LARGE updates.
But above all...
10- An exceptional Dev that interacts and befriends all players.

Peace

I think eventually the Marks family is going to have to buy the land around the two houses and build more for the off site LIs and of course all the rooms for the kids and other rooms needed.

He isn't here so he doesn't know

I'm sure by the end of the Game They would have bought the whole City to use them as Buildings

3- With one exception (explained in game) you can impregnate all the LI's, in the first creampie, by choice.

I'm not so sure on that one exception. No clue how it will be handled (automatic or player choice) the game has alluded to a sensible solution.

Spoiler: My guess, but I'll spoiler it just in case.

Yeah he is going to need a big ass mansion for all his women and kids.

More like medium size town. With hospitals, police station, kindergarten, schools etc.
