VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.24.0 S3 Ch.4] [Tropecita Games]

[JJ1960]

Hey everyone, need everyone's opinion on this. Out of Eva or Amanda who should join my harem. I know, I know everyone is going to say "choose both, why limit yourself" lol. Everyone on here who knows me knows I can't do full harem. Hell it was Trope who got me into have "mini harems" haha. But figured I would add either Eva or Amanda, so just wanted some opinions.

No, question at all: Eva.

Because she looks exactly like Daphne.

If I can have Daphne and almost-Daphne in bed at the same time, that's a win.

Plus Eva can knock off with the training, eat a few slices of cake and have Daphne braid her hair for her. Easy-peasy.

I guess I can only say:

And while it may seem sarcasm, it isn't. I truly would like to know the reasoning behind it. Sorry, it's just so alien to me that I can't simply understand it.

1- It's a single player game.
2- It IS the point of the game.
3- Everyone's OK with it.
4- It has ZERO consequences.

I've seen several attempts at explaining this, so far, it all boils down to: Personal Choice. That, doesn't explain anything. It's just the excuse people use to stop the questioning. For once I would like to read a REAL answer.

Don't feel like I am judging you, I am simply trying to understand.

Peace

You're right, a lot of players always say its personal choice. Which granted it is, but I'm hoping I can give a legit answer here. For me it comes down to replay ability. I love a lot of these visual novels that I don't want to beat it in a single playthrough. I want a reason to come back to these games to be honest. For me its not like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, ect ect. Where you can go in make different choices and move your character around and find hidden secrets within the game. Once you do a full harem route on a VN and the game (and this is a big if) is completed than thats it, its over, your done time to move on to the next harem game. I hope that is a good reason for why I don't like doing full harems if I can avoid it. One thing I can say for sure is no matter if your a Full Harem player, Mini Harem player, or just one romance at a time player, we are all Vanilla players and we stick together no matter what against NTR haha.

You wish for:

the cute, lethal blonde vice-director capable of manage a bilionare company and be your perfect girlfriend with two hunkers that could break watermelons
or
the firecracker, redhead assassin who will train you relentless (both in training grounds and bed) and have the perfect assets to send you in heaven no matter what part of the body she decide to use

Hard choice sir, honestly I don't envy you

Believe it or not you just made me choose Eva....

If software as simple as Grammarly (free version) can detect four mistakes in your first paragraph, I guess you aren't used to properly written English (I can detect a couple extra mistakes that Grammarly didn't):

So I suppose that's why you think the language in My Dorm, properly used and proofread by a native English speaker, is unnatural, wrong, or bad.

Dammit you beat me to it. Always funny pathetic when some delusionally superior poster opens his mouth and proves the wisdom of the old adage (better to keep your moth closed...).

Apologies from this side of the Pond to everyone. At this moment in history a lot of loudmouthed-yet-embarassingly-ignorant clowns have grabbed the proverbial megaphone and are shouting into it like 8-year olds.

Let me make this simple: you can't have a HAREM without both Amanda and Eva (HAmandaREvaM.) Spelling 101. The tricky part is making sure that you remember HRM stands for Her Royal Majesty, which of course means Daphne.

 

[WerewolfSinX]

Damn, you know what guys this sucks. I am going to have to start over from season 2 to put Eva in the mini harem. I can hear everyone now yelling at their screens "See this is why you do full harem." Well this is what I have to say to all of you...

You have to replay the game? Oh no! What a horrible experience!

I see what you did there good sir...Someone hold my beer lol. I'll have you know good sir that I have had to start over a lot on this game because of not doing Full Harem, and I will most likely have to again when the new batch of girls come into the picture.

I've replayed My Dorm, I think, 6 times. Latest one, I simply changed the Language to Spanish, and, I absolutely LOVED it.

The thing with me is, I don't need any other reason to replay, except being in love with the game. I am also a serial re-reader. First because of cost, second because I read way too fast, one paragraph at a time. Several times, I've had to re-read a book immediately after finishing it. Why? Because I was not ready to leave the story.

There are a few games that I replay when I want to feel "at home", My Dorm is one of those. I was never one to go for the "Delayed Reward", I am ADHD and that simply doesn't work for us. I can't fathom a reason to play a game, a Harem game even, and say No to any of the LI's. Because if there's one that I simply HAD to say no to, I'd rather delete the game and move on.

So, while I thank you for your honesty, and decent explanation, I still could NEVER play it that way, I'd feel like I was cheating myself.

Thank you.

Peace

No problem man, I'm just glad I could explain my reasoning for not doing Full Harem. Like you said about me I don't call anyone out for any playstyle on the forum, even people who like NTR. While I say stuff about that "kink" I don't care if people like it or not you know. If I see the Netorare tag than I just look at the comments to see if its avoidable. Reason I'm bringing up this kink here is because if its a game that has netorare and harem in it at the same time, than I would absolutely do full harem as I don't need to see any of the "other" content.

 

[WerewolfSinX]

Well no time like the present to get started again... Time to blair We Came As Romans new song Bad Luck. Maybe even throw some of The Broken View as well. For anyone who listens to their own music while playing VN than I recommend listening to The Broken View. They are an indie soft rock band from New York. 3 songs I recommend are Ordinary Love, In Too Deep, and I'll be There. Those songs fit this game alot trust me.

Anyone know if this dev employs proofreaders that are native English speakers? If he does I sure hope he doesn't pay them, imagine getting payed and deliver on this level lol.

It's a good game but the English is just so unnatural and wrong/bad, kind of breaks the immersion.

(P.S.: The English is good, unlike you.)

I'm sure Amanda or Eva have one or even several they'd be willing to lend to you

I feel the exact same way.

I've dropped games that I've followed for over a year 'cos the dev introduced a character who I had no interest in (or revealed that a character had traits that made me lose interest in her).

Go play Lust Academy for a while, then come back and talk to us about poor proofreading and unnatural dialog (or dialogue, if you're on the east side of the pond...).

 

[MarsUltor]

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. Every scene goes into the gallery regardless of whether it's lewd or not.


I think the natural/unnatural thing for readers (and I'm not talking directly about you, so no offense intended) depends on those players' backgrounds and what they are used to. The naturalness of how something "sounds" would be different for a player in a slum in Nairobi (Kenya), a player raised in Knightsbridge (London, UK), a player in the Appalachian (US), or a player from Sydney (Australia). All of them are native speakers, by the way.

I guess someone with bad grammar, who doesn't know how to structure a question or how pronouns or prepositions work, could think the language used by people (mostly) speaking correctly is stiff or posh.

If software as simple as Grammarly (free version) can detect four mistakes in your first paragraph, I guess you aren't used to properly written English (I can detect a couple extra mistakes that Grammarly didn't):

Confucius say "when in doubt, chase the redhead."

But Taoism say "blondes have more fun."

Plus Eva can knock off with the training, eat a few slices of cake and have Daphne braid her hair for her. Easy-peasy.

I think I have just the bed to accommodate that (you could probably even get it reinforced to industrial strength, to handle Eva's "lioness pouncing" routine)...
