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

[SlapE]

Ironically we do have a choice in regards Yeti, we can get her to shave or not. But that has next to no effect on who someone is as a person, it's no different that suggesting someone change their haircut on their head.

Unless this was changed recently, there was no choice to get her to shave it, you're probably thinking of the "Black Panther". (Samantha's pubes)

Edit - I guess you can ask her to shave it? When I played through I don't remember having the option and also specifically remember reading that you couldn't get her to shave it, idk, now I'm confused.

I checked in game, and there was no choice, nor is there anything in the decisions menu about it, so my guess is that I was right about this, my head hurts.

---------------------------

Also, what do you mean "this probably won't make you understand", I understood it perfectly, I still don't think it's "fucked up", it's definitely unrealistic and immersion breaking as I've already stated, but it's the design philosophy that was chosen in order to prevent riots, I personally find it unnecessary, but again it is what it is.

 

[Naskura]

Not in my game. It seems like you didn't install the patch correctly in one of the previous updates. Since I am not in Spain right now, I can't solve your problem, but when I return, I will write you to try to check one of your saves and fix it.

I had an issue with an external hard drive corruption my old install had a new External Hard Drive and a new computer so was going from a fresh install with a fresh game, and until the second date with Martha when she takes off her ring iPatch was working then it went to non family.

Now that you mention it, I am thinking of "Black Panther". Glad Yeti is a protected species

Perhaps I should have said "agree" instead of "understand". Though I felt in this case they were one and the same. Evidentially not.

Full disclosure, I myself am proudly bisexual, and I find the thought of anyone forcibly changing my or anyone else's sexuality deeply repugnant

 

[FatGiant]

I'm always amazed at the number of fragile egos intimidated by a lesbian/bi character in a game. I, for one, welcome our lesbian overlords.

I don't remember if Kate ever explicitly stated whether she was lesbian or bisexual, only that she was in a relation with a woman recently. Also being bisexual doesn't mean they aren't monogamous. My daughter is bisexual--she was married to a woman, but now she's married to a man. She feels she's too possessive to be open to any sort of non-monogamy.

I posit that Kate doesn't have to "turn straight" to be monogamous with the MC. She can still be bisexual but currently in a relationship with a man. All that is required is that she is of a monogamous temperament about her own behavior.

LOL, I am surrounded by Bi people.

One daughter, one son, a daughter-in-law (my youngest boy girlfriend), my best friend, my younger daughter best friend (he spent so much time at our house that we started to call him son), my younger daughter is at least bi-curious. Some are in straight relations, others are in homo relations, some are non committed... The thing is, who they are with at the moment doesn't mean anything, they remain Bi whoever they are with.

Peace

 

[MrBenny]

I wonder if we will see Scarlett go back to NOT having those long bangs that cover her eyes, or another hair style?

And I was wondering about the pregnancy choices that seem to show up right away, so if a player picks the choice with no consequences, will the pregnancy's option show up later in the story, or does it become a locked choice to end any pregnancy with that character?


Scarlett with Bangs.... (Shaggy dog look)

Trop has said before that you get TWO chances (for pregnancy) with each girl. There's also an overarching pregnancy decision later on

A thousand times this!
For me, living with my daughter's family, it's my ex-wife/housemate, my daughter, and one of my granddaughters. One of the other granddaughters identifies (age 7) as a trans girl. In her case we'd suspected for years.

You have to realize that we deal with many, many, commenters each week who complain about the possibility of "their harem girls" interacting with each other, calling it cheating or NTR. If you make a post that makes you look like one of those snowflakes, people are going to respond to you in kind.

Most of is are just tired of people coming into a forum insisting that a developer change their game for their own particular kinks or insecurities, so that tends to explain the responses.

I never asked the dev to change anything! I simply stated that i wasn't interested in Kate for a particular reason. If Maddie only had the blackmail routes and i said i wasn't interested in her because i'm not into dom/sub relationships would that make me insecure? No! That would just mean that the kinks connected to that character don't align with mine (i actually love Maddie btw, that was just an example). If you go and read my past comments in this thread, i did question if Scarlett / Daphne are actually straight, but aside from that, most of my comments here have been positive. I even defended Eileen when people complained about her mentioning that she dated other guys after she and the MC broke up.

Really, i don't know why this turned into such a big thing. That part of my comment wasn't even originally intended to be taken completely seriously to be honest, i used the kek emote for a reason.

 

[HentaiKami]

It will be NTR only if it's done behind MC's back. In this VN, the girls will NEVER date eachother and the MC will be always present and involved, so no NTR even if the girls are playing between themselves.

And even if the girls dated each other inside the harem, as long as they got MC's ok for it, it wouldn't be NTR.

Breathe... Relax... Take in consideration that writing is a hard medium to convey intentions and relax. No one is attacking your choices, even if it appears so, we are all talking in generics, not specifics.

To many of us, myself included, your choice of not having girl-on-girl content seems as outlandish has forced gay content. I am, confessedly, very much into girl-on-girl content. I can, empathically, understand your reasons, but, truthfully, I can't really connect with them. I know, I don't have to, but, that makes communication on that subject rather difficult, for no fault of either of us. I've been into Lesbian content even before I knew it had a name. The first sexual act I ever witnessed was a lesbian one, I was maybe 6 or 7, was relaxing on my secret spot (the top of a building near my Aunts house) I was reading comics, when I happened to hear some strange sounds. Turns out it was from the next building back terrace, 2 women were going at it... Well, it was a forever thing. I still remember it vividly, and it NEVER fails to turn me on, forgive me Pfizer, but this is way more effective. Throughout the years, this interest, evolved and become one of my most predominant kinks. It's not a deal-or-no-deal, but it is my preferred choice, always.

So, when it's offered, I will NEVER turn it down, damn the consequences. You, well, you seem to go the opposite way, so, I can relate to you has much has I can relate to a BDSM fan, that is, not at all. Is it your fault? ABSOLUTELY not. Is it mine? I don't think so. On that specific subject, we are on a no-connection spot.

So, if the Dev is giving you the option to avoid what you can't stand, and giving me what I like above anything else, none of us lose anything. However outlandish we look to each other.

Peace

hysepReC ; please don't feel atacked, just happens that your coment, triggered something, to which some of the comunity, have a special relation to, nothing is personal, In fact I have read you in other threads although, not often agree with your point of view you never came agressive (only if some faggot ofended you, no wonder) or trollish, and you took the time to discuss your point of view, so guess you have all respect.
FatGiant 's coment is sadly true, but you don't come across as a person with fragile ego, at least in my perception.
Edit: TLDR: same as FatGiant said

 

[Tiur]

Except that is basically what you're doing with Kate, since she does have non-lesbian routes, just like Maddie has non-blackmail routes. That's come up several times. That's why people are getting the impression from your post that they are. If it wasn't the impression you'd intended, yes, you should have worded the post differently.

I wasn't aware that Kate would have alternate routes when i made my post. I was under the impression that the lesbian content with Kate was required to get her into the harem.

So i either misunderstood this post or Tropecita changed his mind regarding her. If my post sounded like i was complaining or that i wanted the dev to make her straight then that's my mistake because that was NOT my intention but i'm sure as hell not going to apologise for my preferences.

Is what's in her hand supposed to be an apple? she mentions it in the dialogue but it looks more like a giant jawbreaker.

Yeah I wanted Trope to pass me the Brand of the Fertilizer they use in Spain, or what feed they their apples with,
(Just imagine how many Apple pies you can bake with a Dozen of them

 

[Phenim]

Na ... I think that kid is going to be integral somehow ... also unless he's proves to be a Dev-mole, I think he's going to be a good guy (and maybe more interested in the MC than Lisa, but that's just my personal take).

Personal theory is that Anthony is actually interested in Debbie, but it was easier to approach Lisa online as a connection to Debbie.

It'd be interesting if he knows Simone ...

 

[Trope95]

Even if you acknowledge that it's not how it works in real life, that doesn't make it any less fucked up to have in your game.
And before anyone compares this to having incest, rape, or slavery or whatever self generally deemed fucked up in a game, this is different. Incest in most incest games is acknowledged as taboo, and is generally consensual. Rape is still treated, typically, as being fucked up, yea you'll be given the option or depending on the game only be able to rape people, but it's not treated as a good thing. Slavery is much as I described rape in most games. Changing someones sexuality is completely different. Evolving it is one thing, someone who thought they were straight or gay learning they're actually bisexual for example, but "flipping" someone and having it shown as normal and good is horrific.

Having Kate be path specific isn't punishing anyone. It's choice and consequence. It's like in other games having girls you can only get on the path of if you're willing to steal them from their boyfriend of husband etc. is that punishing people who aren't into that? No. What if a girl is only willing to Dom? Is it a punishment to have her locked behind having MC willing to sub to her? Again no.

A punishment would be if you're forced into a "bad ending" because you don't have all the girls or don't have certain girls.
A punishment would be if by not allowing the only, to my memory, out non-straight girl, to join the harem that one of the other bisexual leaning girls leave the harem to date her exclusively.

Now, I'm not trying to attack you or bully you into changing how you're going to handle your characters, it's your game you can do what you want with it, but I had to say what I said. If for no one else than myself.

(Edited to fix spelling error for clarity)

I worded it poorly. Very poorly.
Kate right now considers herself a lesbian (she doesn't say it, it's the narrator who says it) because it's the only thing she has experience with.
She will discover she's bisexual through the MC as it's the only way to add her into the harem. When I said straight I meant that the people who locked the lesbian content will have a different way to interact with her. Her first threesome (her first sex will be in a threesome if one of two girls are in the harem, solo if they don't) will be wildly different depending on the lesbian content being locked or not. That won't change who she is, only if she's a bisexual leaning to men (not every men, only the MC) or a bisexual with no preference during sex. Romantically she will only be attached to the MC.
As I said, I worded it poorly.

 

[Trope95]

This seems a tad extreme, is it immersion breaking, unrealistic, and likely even disappointing for some people, sure, but I don't see how it's "fucked up". If anything, it's just the design philosophy that Tropecita has decided to go with, it's been basically the same with all the other choices in the game as well, including the pregnancies, Kate's body type, and sub/dom relationships. Really the only thing I can recall that we don't have any control over is the Yeti.

*Edit*
Though I do agree with you that I don't really see it as a punishment either, I honestly wouldn't mind if she was into girls no matter what and the only choice was to get with her or not, and therefore she would become bisexual. However, there's too many people on this site who would lose their shit and have meltdowns, it is what it is.

It will be immersion breaking for the people who chose to lock lesbian content. The people who didn't lock it will play her story as it was thought originally. When I talk about punishment I mean that it would be the only kink that would lock a girl out if you don't like the kink. Anal, footjob, pregnancy, sub, dom, etc. Are optional but don't lock the girl out. Why lesbian (bisexual) should lock her out?
