VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.27.3 S3 Ch.7] [Tropecita Games]

[imjustlurkinghere]

So, it says that season 3 chapter 5 is available... I downloaded it but it wont let me advance past my chapter 4 save now screen. Am I missing something? I looked through the files and it seems like while there is a script for day 26 in Spanish, there isn't one for English.

There have been some references to GH in the game already.
Two updates ago, I referenced Dorm Days by Lurid Pictures. He was so kind as to provide the comic book asset Martha was reading.
In the last update, I referenced (changing the titles):
Princess on the Fly (Princess on the Run, not released yet, by JeffersonSound among others), Origin Tale (Origin Story by JDor), The Awesome Game (The Beautiful Game by Daggum ), Puddles of Astrum (Rivers of Astrum by Paper Tiger), Basking All-Out (Basking all-in by TheSugarRay of thighs and pizza ), The Diner (The Restaurant by Xell )
The book Megan is reading, is also a reference to one of the composers of My Dorm's OST, Demon Sound

Absolutely love My Dorm and the writing and happy to support it on Patreon.
Interesting to see that our wonderful MC enjoys games with rape (Rivers of Astrum).
I wouldn't have figured that for his library..
Though he has started to get kinkier with these last couple updates.

Roll back from the save screen and then continue.
There isn't a TL file for C26 because it doesn't have text, but Season 3 Chapter 5 is C25, so it doesn't matter. C26 is the "save here" screen for that chapter.

Thanks!
There are also sandbox games on that list. That he plays them is even more surprising, knowing how little time he has available
I haven't played any of the referenced games, so there could be weird genres on the list.
His sentence is "I played several really good ones." That doesn't mean he enjoyed them. Acting Lessons is GOOD. I didn't enjoy it and wouldn't recommend it.

No one is forcing anything. If the President were acting as a monarch or dictator, there would be no protests - they wouldn't be allowed. Some don't like that immigration law is now being enforced. If they don't like the the law the way it is, they can try to have it changed - that's how the system works. However, burning cars, throwing bricks and molotovs at law enforcement officers, etc., is rioting, not protesting. And it doesn't really sway anyone that isn't already on the radical end of the continuum as those doing the rioting - it actually turns folks that are more moderate against them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Besides the problems in understanding reality, history, dictatorships, monarchy, the world in general, and Europe specifically that your posts reveal, you also have reading comprehension problems.
johnpouljones said, "And that's why Trump wants to force people proud of his monarch to accept his perspective" in the comment you are quoting. Since the US doesn't have a monarch, your rant about US politics doesn't make sense.

To keep the post on-topic, why do you all think of transforming My Dorm's world into a united monarchy under some member of the Marks family, some generations from now? If every generation is as fertile as the current one, more than 50% of the world's population could be MC's descendants in seven or eight generations.

That depends very much on how many kids the MC and his descendants will have during their lifetime. If the answer is around 30, then after seven generations they could have up to 21 billion descendants. If the answer is around 100, then it would only take five generations to outnumber the current world population.

Of course we probably have to divide that number by two because it is very likely that both parents will be descendants of the MC, even in the early generations.

Was just having a similar conversation in a game thread based on the fact that A) that MC is adopted royalty and has high magic/long life/very fit features ... B) There's a curse in the world that limits the male births to 1 in 10 at best ... C) His current harem includes princesses, guards, priestesses, elves, enchantresses, saviors, etc. and his prospects include queens, duchesses, bandits, tyrants, demons, djinn, and possibly even more races.

Current theory* is even if the curse is lifted in his lifetime (which will be VERY long) his genes could very well be in all living sentient beings before he dies.

*of which I just put down in writing for the first time ... I need to copy this there ...

My "working numbers" are around 60 kids. To simplify the numbers (and avoid duplicity because of incest), I took less than half of them, let's say the male descendants, and each of them, in every generation, makes a harem and has 20 new males who will have their own harem (I downgraded it to 20 to take into account incest, early deaths, non-reproductive males, etc.).
The numbers by generation are:

1st	20​
2nd	400​
3rd	8.000​
4th	160.000​
5th	3.200.000​
6th	64.000.000​
7th	1.280.000.000​
8th	25.600.000.000​

So the family meetings in some years would be a thing.

My starting point on this is Genghis Khan: "It is estimated that there are around 16 million direct male-line descendants of Genghis Khan alive today" (that's around 1 in 200 males in the world). After roughly 800 years (40 generations?). Genghis was a noob.

Interesting setting.
Are there other people (like elves) living as long as he? If there are, there's a problem with your theory. Think of an LI that lives as long as he. She could die at the same time as him, or even survive him. So there will be at least one living sentient being without his genes. Call me nitpicky

I wasn't being critical, just finding it interesting that the game is definitely getting darker with the recent updates.
The sexual watersports and choking elements.
The MC being shown to play a rape game.

And then Kim being put in a situation where she could have been sexually abused or even raped.
And in that situation the MC had an option to let it happen and not save her.
Fortunately if you chose that option Amanda steps in and saves her instead.

Definitely a darker tone than we have seen before.

If the MC dies while having sex with her but after having flooded her womb, then his genes would indeed be in all living sentient beings before he dies. Problem solved.

Another option would be that the LI happens to be carnivorous and her interest for him is not just love. That's another way to ensure that his genes would be in all living sentient beings before he dies, but that option might be less pleasant for the MC.

I don't consider watersports or choking as dark. It's only another fetish, and everything between two consenting adults is fine in my book.

What was darker was Kim's situation, but Amanda was there just because of that. Note that NTR is the only organization represented by two people, just in case a player didn't want to save Kim
Not too much darker than Kiara's situation with Solomon, Scarlett's with Kevin, or Martha's with the Dean, though.

Thanks Trope... So funny story, I thought v0.25.2 was v.26.whatever (a early leak of what's currently releasing), but it turns out that since I used the update file last time I forgot to update the file name so it still said v0.24.

Everything in Rivers of Astrum is optional.

I want to reiterate that I love the game and your work and writing.
But I don't agree that the Kim thing isn't much different from the previous situations with Solomon/Kevin and the Dean.
In all other situations prior to the Kim scene the MC does everything he can to save the girls.
However, in the Kim scene the MC has a perfectly valid option to sacrifice Kim to the bad guys.
The player can choose that option and the game continues.
You lose 50 Kim points and get removed from her romance path - so she knows what you attempted to do and is done with you.

The fact that Amanda steps in and saves Kim doesn't change the fact that the MC himself sacrificed her to the Iron Fist and their gangster associates.

"Queen Daphne" has a nice ring to it.

Decided to take out the personal opinion about a certain individual; however, I'll leave the rest. It's a perspective on a concept.

Personally, I don't get the idea of "royalty". I mean, I understand it perfectly well, but don't get why it has been allowed to persist until now. So called "royals" just descend from someone that was more brutal than someone else that ruled before them, and probably had quite a bit of inbreeding along the way (Habsburgs come to mind - have to keep that "royal" blood pure!). There's just something that seems offensive that someone is inherently better than someone else based upon birth and ancestry. They're no better - just had a head start and lots of ancestral wealth because people decided to deify one of their relatives long ago. I guess, based on the inbred aspect, the US has some royalty, but they live mostly in West Virginia, Alabama and Western Louisiana.

It's just offensive to the American way of thinking that people aren't actually free citizens, but the subjects of a monarch and lesser beings than the "nobles". Some countries say differently in official documents, but in practice and in the way folks revere "royals", they often still act as subjects and rarely push back as "royals", and the government folks they support, chip away at basic rights. They even look at rights differently, thinking they are "given" or "granted" rather than inherently existing. Something "given" or "granted" is a privilege - not a right. A right exists even when it is denied - that's why a bunch of folks signed a certain document on July 4, 1776 and told George III and Parliament to kindly go fuck themselves.

As for the concept of "divine right" or "divine rule" - it was something started by those brutal ancestors in exchange for not looting the churches, or when and where the church held greater sway, as a reward for fealty to Rome. And even with a "king", how united is England and the UK? I could go on, but I won't. Whether you agree with me or not (that's a right everyone has), I think you can at least see the perspective I'm coming from.

Don't delude yourself that people are equal. Or that they will ever. Some are tall and some are short. They have different color of the skin, hair, eyes. Some are handsome and others are not. Some are wise and others are not quite. Let's eliminate all high, then we will be equal. Or this will be only impression. It's such egalitarianism for tiny ones.
Everyone would like to be handsome, wise and healthy. Unfortunately, my health is no longer the best.
As for the game: only the clones are equal. One type for men and one for female. Perfect society.

He's half-Djinn, and I honestly forgot how long he'll actually live, but I do remember that he'll still outlive his children, which will still be 1/4 djinn and live quite long themselves. I don't remember if the actually lifespan of elves was discussed, but he probably won't outlive the other supernatural races (like full djinn) so I suppose at best it would just be mortal sentient beings ... but yea, I was having a stream-of-consciousness there ^_^

Well, I don't understand these authors who work for years on a story and then throw it down the toilet, clearly wanting to get rid of it. Please, Trope95 , don't fall into the same trap. Rather abandon it, but don't ruin it.

Well, it's pretty simple but a shitty reason to be fair; they grew up tired of that story and don't want to do it anymore BUT they don't want to abandon it and prefer to just scrap it the quickest way possible, and in the end it made it a pretty rushed story.

Don't worry, Trope isn't like that and IF he abandon My Dorm, that would be because he would have a pretty fucking good reason to do it (like, becoming the President of Harem Land) .

What's going on with the Steam release of this game? Season 1(which was been finished eons ago) has been listed as "coming soon" since forever and a day, and season 2(also long since finished) isn't even listed on Steam. What's going on with that? Just release it already...damn.
