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

[Trope95]

I was vaguely familiar with the trope, and then I watched the show Ugly Delicious on Netflix (I can highly recommend it), and in the episode about fried/grilled chicken they discussed the connection, which was very interesting. The connection isn't as much with black people as with slavery (although they are basically the same thing in this case), something to do with how selling fried chicken was the first thing the slaves were able to make money from when they were freed (it was a while ago since I watched it, so I may be misremembering). And the association is still so strong that a black chef will avoid to be seen cooking chicken on TV, since it's impossible to escape it. Anyway, it was interesting.

The same happens with the watermelon trope. Some slaves were allowed to grow their own food and, because of easiness, a lot of them went for watermelon. When the ACW finished there was a big pool of ex-slaves watermelon farmers with the know-how to flood the market. From what I read, it was common to see in the 1860s-70s black people selling watermelon in stalls in the Southern roads.

I reported the previous he made and it got removed. Did the same with this carbon copy

The dingbat could at least have changed up the words instead of just copying his previous attempt

I reported the previous one too, but I don't think this one will be as easy (if the mods don't keep a record of the previous reports).

Indeed.

I wouldn't rate the game highly for this. I want more lesbian content (and threesome content). There have been a few threesomes now, but I wouldn't say they've been a big part of the game, because of the scope of the game overall. I mean, they're probably a decent percentage of all the lewd scenes, so I'm losing my own argument against myself, but it just feels like there aren't many in comparison. Does that make sense to anybody?

I think Norah/Erika and Martha/Emma were two of my favourite scenes overall because I love the interaction between the three (it's not just one girl and then switch to the other girl) but also because they have the extra taboo factor that say Eileen/Alexia and Daphne/Scarlett (especially at the time) did not have. Yes, I know, I have a corrupt mind, but then, don't we all...?

Back to the point quoted from the review though. Where are all these lesbian scenes? Have we had any yet? Are we including Daphne and Scarlett's kissing practice?

I wouldn't label Daphne/Scarlett kissing as lesbian.
Norah and Erika cumswap (with kiss included) can be.
Emma cleaning Martha's pussy (and earlier cumswap), definitely.

There are more scenes with lesbian content coming (although it isn't the focus of the game). The more the game advances, the more threesomes/X-somes will happen. The more X-somes, the more chances for some lesbian interactions.

Well, he is apparently speaking for EVERYONE so maybe we should just have him writing every review for every VN on here.....makes it harder AND easier for the mods

From what I read, it was common to see in the 1860s-70s black people selling watermelon in stalls in the Southern roads.

It was common to see all kinds of people selling them in stalls and out of the backs of pickups and farm trucks all over Texas into the 1970s and beyond - you can still find them around in some places today. All folks, though, not just those of African descent - we grew them ourselves, but only for us and friends. We did sell rabbits, though, usually to the feed store, but occasionally out the back of dad's El Camino.

Being close to the Gulf, and being Southeast Texas, you'd also find folks selling shrimp & crabs the same way, other Gulf seafood as well (at least within about 40 miles of the coast), and tamales - when we'd travel down I-45 to Pearland to visit dad's brothers, we'd always exit at Dixie Farm Road and see which trucks where there, as you could usually find both a shrimp truck and a tamale truck - sometimes the same truck! That's within about 25-30 miles of Galveston where the shrimpers would come in. And if it was for our family Labor Day weekend get together, we might grab a couple of watermelons and some cantaloupe because there would probably be a truck selling those at that same spot.

It was just the way things were done throughout much of Texas and many other states with heavy agrarian populations, coastlines, or a big mix of ethnicities. I think it's where the modern "food truck" culture was born, in part at least. It was almost always fresher than the grocery store and usually better since things like the watermelons were picked and sold when ripe, rather than a week ahead to make it to market. And for a while, it was about the only way you found good tamales unless you knew someone since they weren't really a broadly available grocery item until, maybe, the last 20 years or so. Still best to have a connect, though: nothing like someone's abuela's recipe. We of Germanic descent might trade them for homemade sausage - made everyone happy.

I generally don't mind lesbian scenes. Moreover, these scenes in My Dorm are very aesthetic and tasteful. I'm also happy about the announcement of X-somes. This will add a lot of spice to the game. And if it bothers someone, that's his problem (IMO).

God damn it seems like it was Return of the Dingbat Electric Boogaloo. He really doesn't have anything to do if he creates a 2nd Account just to put that Complaint in the Review Section once more.

Oh that's sound very interesting, I have so much scene in mind !

Please allow me to ask: Can we players choose the actors for the additional group scenes? Or will it automatically be your decision?

Do you have any idea how many additional renders that'd mean?

3?

What do you mean by "additional"? Outside of normal action? And which players are you referring to? Those who pay the subscription fee or pirates too? And if we fulfilled the wishes of both, these few thousand, do you know what would happen to this game? I think we should leave the game making to the dev.

Hi dude, I asked a simple question that might be of interest to other players... But most importantly: I didn't ask you...
Have a nice day...

 

[TonyMurray]

It's not as if Acsuka was asking for creative control of the game or anything, just to know if there would be any way of influencing who is involved in such upcoming scenes, maybe through a poll or similar function. I'm pretty confident that Trope95 isn't going to create a bunch of interchangeable scenes just to appease individual fans, but if there is a scene that could easily involve a couple of different pairings, maybe he would be up for finding out what people would prefer to see, that sort of thing.

I too asked a simple question. I did ask you and you've not answered... But think about it, even if it's just one render for every possible combination of girls that's going to be a lot of rendering time.

You are asking a question in an open forum. And it is not explicitly addressed. So you're asking everyone? Correct?

Imagine a raunchy threesome scene in one shot. Would you like it?

Some of the X-somes will have (optional) things not for everyone's tastes (like lesbian content), but that's why choices are there.
Thanks to the (newly implemented in 0.20) gallery, you will be able to replay them changing those choices.

Oh that's sound very interesting, I have so much scene in mind !

Which scenes, for example?

Please allow me to ask: Can we players choose the actors for the additional group scenes? Or will it automatically be your decision?

Until now, the threeway scenes (Eileen+Alexia, Daphne+Scarlett, Norah+Erika, and Martha+Emma) were needed for some story advancement (when in both girls' paths). I will continue doing that but, sometime down the road, I will have room for a "not needed" x-some. When the time arrives, I will do a Patreon/SS poll about it giving 3-4 options. When will it be? I don't know, but I guess it will be in Act III (once the MC returns from Aruba)

That's how I took it.

It's been a long time since my college stats class so I asked google and it says there are 190 possible combinations of 2 taken out of 20 possibilities (my guesstimate of the # of possible LIs) so your "one shot" is 190 renders - assuming google isn't counting a & b separate from b & a...

Thank you for your answer... I'm sorry if others saw this as a discussion topic... And yes, that's exactly what I thought, as you wrote: a possible vote... More good work for you...
