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

[Trope95]

Yeah, I have to say, that is one attractive model. Detouring slightly, but I've yet to find a game that I really like, that happens to have a black LI who I really like. All the ones who have had potential have ended up just as side girls only seen once or twice.

I love the three black models in My Dorm (Sam, Simone, and Kim).
I guess what you say about black girls ending up as side girls is because of the player (and dev) base. Most (non HS) games feature Caucasian girls because the feeling out there is that it's what the audience wants. Or what the devs like.
In my case, I love all kinds of women (who would have guessed?), and, although the game is majorly Caucasian, there is an Asian (2 in the future), an Indian (2 in the future), a Hispanic (2 in the future), and three black women. 32% (9/28) non-Caucasian girls.
I could have added more, but it would be hard, since the core family+Amanda+Eva already add up to another 9 girls. Only 10 more spots (3 Caucasian students in each batch, Kiara, Eileen, Megan, and Scarlett). I wouldn't replace any of those girls.

Been keeping my eyes out for a "Halle Berry" as well. Sadly they are rare in most AVNs, and many of the (typically thicc) black LIs just don't do it for me. I'm more of a Mocha fan. Definitely a good model though.

Mocha?

Mocha

mocha ? sorry in the local slang over here, it means dull, or dumb, depending on the context
Edit: I see Trope had the same thought LOL
My dad's first car (BMW Isetta) we called tenderly "la mocha"

 

[Jaga Telesin]

Mocha?

Mocha is just my term for someone not displaying overly prominent black characteristics (large lips, large butt, etc), and who has a lighter skin shade. Often times an offspring of a white+black mother and father. Halle Berry's form and skin color are the easiest for me to identify with that particular type of LI.

Your Farah model looks very much like what I'd look for as a full LI in a game, that fits the Mocha style. Diggin' her.

Yeah, you have great diversity here, and Simone is another good example (I'm not into Sam, personally though). Totally agree on it being a targetted thing, equal to why most male MCs are Caucasian. There are others like you though, who love all kinds of women!

If you find a game with that model as an LI, you'll have to share it with us (I'll do the same)!

I think that is the term used in USA am I right, over here (SA) we use other terms, but they are strogly controversial with the new WOKE mentality.

No idea what term is used in the US (even though I live there). To me it's a mid-range coffee color (not dark, not light) so it's easy for me to associate. It's definitely the Halle Berry skin tone, which Farah is pretty close to.

A definitive shortage of non-white LIs in most AVNs. That being said, I think Trop did an awesome job with Samantha, Simone, Alexia, Kim, Saira and Kalyani.

As 7thOmen says below, you will see her in-game. I don't want to spoil it, but her model is (more or less) this one

Spoiler: Vitiligo-less Kim

Well i just reached the point where she puts on the make-up and wow, not only does she look black, but she looks completely different, my eyes are completely untrained to see 'through' vitiligo, She looks like a completely different person even though i know the model is the same, i just cannot force my eyes to 'see' it, like some kinda optical illusion, my dumbass animal brain keeps seeing white with brown patches, not brown with white patches... i'm rambling but i just find this sort of thing fascinating, finding unexpected perceptions borne from a brain to which evolution only ever said 'good enough is as good as you're ever gonna get', it never bothered to evolve same mental software for correcting for vitiligo. I wonder if other people experience the same thing or if they somehow have the autocorrect i lack...

It's like when someone has a big change - they suddenly switch to contacts after years of you only seeing them wearing glasses, or you've seen them lots but they suddenly cut their long hair into a pixie cut. It just doesn't look "right" to you, because it's not how your initial perception of them was formed and maintained.

Heard it called café au lait. Which can't possibly be offensive since it's all French and fancy, right?

Oh I disagree as a French User in another Thread said to me once "French People have to feel offended at least once a day."

 

[jI11jaCksjAkk]

yup .. sex education is my specialty

Umm...not sure using any variant of the word "special" in the same sentence with "education" and "sex" is advisable. I know I have a sicker mind than most, but ...

That's how they maintain their world-class haughty baseline (some of them are also hotties, but that's a whole other thing...).

Who is Kalyani ? I'm wondering if I missed a character somehow through the gameplay

Sairas sister if I'm not mistaken

 

[blkcrow20]

Close Xapican, but she is not in game yet. Trop did provide a preview of her awhile back. She comes with the next batch of students.

 

[txe320]

Sairas sister if I'm not mistaken

Close, she's her cousin.

 

[Satou Pendragon]

Sairas sister if I'm not mistaken

Close Xapi close... She's Sairas Cousin....
