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

[Trope95]

Your teasing is slipping Trope. For a while you had me on a tightrope. It's good to realize you're human after all (evil of course, but still human).

And it's really nice to see Scarlett maturing and coming out of her shell. It must be a fantastic experience for her, especially for as fast as it's happening to her. But that's the MC's doing, and she trusts him and the family implicitly from what I can tell. Good times ahead.

I'll admit in advance though - I have no small amount of trepidation about the trip to Aruba and how it'll split the MC off from the harem at home. It presents some fun opportunities for different locations and new encounters, but it removes LIs and the "home dynamic" (including the new bed) from content for quite a while. If days in-game are months in RL, then he (and we) won't get back to that dynamic for a very long time. Just speculating, but it makes me uneasy to lose "the My Dorm Formula" after enjoying it for this long. Take with a grain of salt, as always.

I always wanted our girls to have a happy experience, so I won't do anything (extreme) to hurt them. In Scarlett's case, it will be a great experience for her (and I talk about it as an introvert guy who changed a lot working as a waiter while I was studying). She will learn that planning does not always work, and that improvisation and cunning can be great. She will evolve, and that's good for her.

About the Aruba trip, it won't take too long for us as players to finish it (I plan for 1.5-2 updates at most). We will see a lot of interactions with the girls at home (even without the MC), and some girls will visit him (remember Alexia has two vacation weeks remaining, Eva and Amanda will take turns, Betty will probably go with the MC, etc.). The Aruba trip will serve to fix NTR and to start its path into a "good" company. It will serve to tighten relationships with Amanda/Eva/Aaron and to "introduce" a character that will have some importance in the future. But I can't be too much time away from the girls, so the Aruba interlude won't be long. I promise.

although I agree to some point, I think the Aruba trip, is equal important to the story (I play Clones as canon) and the Family is partially with him, I don't think there will be more girls MC meets, I see it as when you open windows to change the air in the house.

Sounds like a fresh take on it (yes, I'm being intentionally punny). I see NTR interaction as mandatory myself for the story arc, so I'm not lamenting that portion at all. Happy Trope has a plan for it all and is in tune with his community.

I wouldn't mind some side encounters on the trip though, just 1-offs for fun... "strange" can be wild and exciting for it's own sake. There are definitely enough LIs already planned, including the new mystery person (LI or not).

AND DEATH TO ALL NTR'S ENEMIES!!!!

Well, something to make everyone safe.

I imagine that the trip to Aruba would be short. There are too many loose ends that cannot be tied up while Mark is in Aruba. Two could be: Eva's necklace and Amanda's most precious possession. Perhaps Mark's idea to help the Washingtons that Norah has to study. But everything else... Megan and her past, Alexia's plan regarding the rings, Meddie's phone call to Betty, the resolution of the situation with Kate, the progress with Kim, etc. There are too many loose ends for Aruba to last too long.

I think your download (or unzip) process got corrupted. I just unzipped it on a computer (Windows 11) I never had it installed on, and it worked perfectly. Other new players have also played it without any issue.
Can you try to re-download it, please?

Something like that actually happened to me when I tried to REPLAY my original Season 1 final game (which had worked to finish my original playthrough without any issues) ... I unpacked the same zip file I already had into a new folder, put in the fresh patch and stuff, then had no problem playing. Didn't have to do anything special with S2 or S3.

Unfortunately, I did not think to save the traceback log and have since deleted the broken version, so I can't help.

Also, he has to meet the new girls ...

About the Aruba trip, We will see a lot of interactions with the girls at home (even without the MC),.

And thus the floodgates of Hell (a river of incels) opened in to Heaven!

 

[TonyMurray]

About the family scenes without the MC, I've been building that dynamic for a while, but it exploded in this update (and will continue until the MC returns from Aruba). Those scenes show how the girls care for each other regardless of their relationships with the MC. Those scenes are the real family building. There are a lot of those every day at the Marks's Residence, even if I only show the ones that help to move the story forward, or the consequences of other scenes (like the pictures of the shooting lesson).

I've been loving these scenes, but as you say it exploded in the last update. I really enjoyed the basement scene, not just because of the conversation that Emma led with her questions, and what might possibly come from that, but just because it showed how comfortable they all are with each other. MC doesn't need to be there as the glue that holds a group of any size together, and this really showed it, for anyone who wasn't already sure. Previously we've had little snippets of this, but it was mostly one of the girls talking to MC and saying how Eileen or Saira or someone has been giving them tips, or the group chat talked about this or that. I'm looking forward to more group (harem-only) conversations like this one.

I think a one-off won't offer anything to the story. Having Amanda and/or Eva there for his whole stay, I can't see the MC looking for a stranger to have sex with.

Most of those loose ends (Alexia, Maddie, Kate, and Kim) will be dealt with before the trip.
Eva and Amanda's themes will have a lot of focus during the trip.

As the MC gets busier with the preparation of the Aruba trip, he has less time with the girls, so those scenes of the girls interacting (mostly hinted until now) will get more screen time. For the next update, there are some of those scenes without the MC (I have already written three, and there's another one planned). As you say, the MC doesn't need to be there, being the glue that holds the family together, and that dynamic will be needed when he's away and the new girls arrive at home.

Yeah, re-downloaded and get the same error when I try to boot it up. Must be something weird/specific to my setup.

Can you try downloading this, please?

Lisa: "I've heard the other girls talking about it a lot, but I didn't realize it was really that big!"

She's talking about MC's new bed, of course.

This got an LOL reaction from me because I can relate. I can't tell you how many times I've done that in Daz...

Actually, it reminds me a bit of an Outer Limits scene from back in the day, with Alyssa Milano in it:

Spoiler: Alyssa Milano gets "blendy" in Outer Limits

Well, he doesn't necessarily have to go looking for it.. sometimes providence with beautiful women just "happens" (Mile High Club is rarely planned for instance). But I digress - I'm sure you have a plan and with the quality of your writing lately I'm simply looking forward to it. Good to hear you have some scenes written already as well.

The NTR facilities have me intrigued. Getting to see that portion of the story open up has me imagining some really interesting possibilities, settings, and people. It's a very large mechanism for change and furthering the story at large.

You think the Mile High club isn't going to be planned on the way there? (and if the other one accompanies him home ...)

Not with aunt Betty - in those tiny airplane bathrooms.

Oh quite possibly yes. I just wasn't opposed to the idea of it being a 1-off (or a side-character) for some random fun. Or at any time he's there. Presents opportunities to mix it up for us, and for Trope to use a model/char he thought about but never put in the lineup for the LIs. Variety is the spice of life as they say.

Pretty sure he's going there in a private jet, and jets' bathrooms are pretty spacious.

Mark isn't the kind of guy who want sex without feeling and what is the point to risk all his established relationships for a random girl, especially with Amanda and Eva that take their job of monitoring him (for security reasons) very seriously?
You know, if I am the dude I'd be terrified of losing a testicle or two after doing something like that. Even more so, not knowing what kind of weapon (proper or improper) would they chose to use on me.

With two bombshells like that both available and with a incredibly demanding job to do as CEO of a billion-dollar company, while planning the future of your big family from thousands of miles away, who has the time or inclination to flirt with a stranger?

Enjoy the tropical seaside interlude on the white beaches of Aruba with Amanda and Eva; these unique experiences will never be repeated.
