VN Ren'Py My Husband's Boss [Ch.2] [SC Stories]

one letter and such a difference


Vi - Vivian likes this diminutive

Where does "Vivian likes this" come from? The natural abbreviation of Vivian would be Viv. "Vi" is a completely different sound, matching to Violet.

I see Vi and just immediately think of Characters such as Kefka, Terra and Locke.

As for the absence of SC Stories - it seems to me that he casually mentioned that he (they) need to rest/ take an extended vacation - and that's it. Of course, the silence is a bit disconcerting at this point - but think about the fact that back in February, for example, he had a longer vacation planned. Realistically - if you don't hear from him by the beginning of September, then you can start thinking seriously about the fact that the story may be abandoned. SC is doing any of his freelance work and the time he spent preparing 2 parts had to compensate somehow for work/life.


something new you discovered - noticed details that we missed before ?. Disputes about the morality of the characters I find completely pointless, about the motives driving - at this point I think we still know too little about the whole situation to have a clear picture - it reminds me a little of some Lynch films, where the plot is not clear even until the very end - but you always have the feeling that you are “touching” something great.



I, for one, am still waiting for explanations about the human setting, because the constantly repeating characters are getting disturbing.

from scenario

if I remember correctly - she does not like Viv, she prefers Vi

What's that supposed to mean? From nowhere, I presume.

As you can see - you don't know everything

to be exact, SC even wrote that Vivian hates the abbreviation Viv (Harris)

No, I don't know everything, nor do I pretend to. When something new comes up that isn't in the game, that's why I ask questions, because otherwise it might look like someone is giving theory as fact, etc. Here, for instance, you're saying that Vivian likes "Vi" and when asked about it, you're not giving reason, just obfuscating, and eventually saying that the dev said she hates "Viv" (which is something else I cannot find evidence of - the only time a search comes up with the dev using "Viv" is when he literally just used it as an abbreviation himself). To be clear, even if it is confirmed that she doesn't like "Viv", that doesn't equate to her liking "Vi". I mean, she never abbreviates her name anywhere, so the only assumption you can realistically make from that is that she prefers to use the full name and not abbreviate it at all.

It sounds about right that a real person named vivian would take viv for a nickname. Or maybe, vian? But we are talking about fantasy pornland, where images on screens do not have such preferencs.

Is this game still alive, because dev is not responding from last 2 month

All we have at this point is hope.

You could just start on this one, you've not missed much

Totally agree

Amazing. A game with two chapters already has almost 500 pages of discussion. The developer could make extra money by making a shorter game with five chapters. Sometimes the best games are short.

"Extra" money? This game/dev isn't monetised in the first place - it's all for free. Also, I don't know whether the number was a deliberate pick for you, but it is set to be five chapters in total.

 

[noahsombrero]

Totally agree

The medium is the message. Always has been.

Project update

Not abandoned. Just needed a break.

Where have I been?
After pushing to release Chapter 2 and then having a lot of negative comments and review bombs I had to step away for a while. I knew people would leave the story over time, I just didn't think they'd make as much noise as they did when they left. However, based on the number of forum pages, I see there is still an active/loyal fan base and I appreciate you guys. But I can't bring myself to look at the reviews or go back and read all of the earlier posts for the sake of my own sanity. I still view this thread as belonging to you guys and I'm just a visitor but I'll participate a bit more and respond to questions and DM's when I can (No I won't tell you when the update is coming out. No I won't give away the plot.)

What have I been doing?
Mostly just working my house, lots of little projects I've neglected lately. I've also been do some writing on another story. It won't ever been rendered or made public but I like the creative process of building out the characters, plotting the story line and world building. I like taking some of those ideas and building test scenes in Daz to get a feel if my vision is possible. That's why a lot of MHB was rendered out of sequence. An idea gets me excited and I flesh out a test scene and next thing I know I'm rendering an entire scene.

What's the status of MHB?
The last couple weeks I've gotten back into the story. I've been going over the outline/script and starting to refine it more and finalizing the dialog. A subtle change in Chapter 1 or 2 can propagate through the story so I'm having to reconcile some things in Ch3 while still moving toward a known finale. I've also been working on doing the setup work for the next few scenes in Daz. Each scene needs the location, environment, characters, wardrobe, and accessories figured out plus a rough setting of cameras and lighting before any final posing and rendering can happen. I kind of like that process but I can easily spend an entire day just doing the setup of one scene. But I'm planning and starting to render this week.

Chapter 3 and beyond
Yes, a good chunk was already rendered but there is still a lot to do. Yes, this still deals a lot more with Hutch and I'm looking forward to tackling a complicated character, trying to convey the emotions welling within him. There are still some sexy scenes but fewer, making it much easier to render (sex scenes are fundamental to the story but they are not fun to make). It's hard to predict the amount of content that'll actually end up in the chapter but I'm guessing Chapter 3 will be about the same size as Chapter 2. I predict 4 will be a little smaller and 5 will be the shortest concentrating on just the finale. I originally had numerous gratuitous scenes that I'm cutting out so I can focus on the meat of the story. I think it makes the main story better and I think it's what the real fans want. Plus it simply cuts down on production time. I'm not trimming anything that drives the story, just the extra fluff.

So there you have it. Thanks for your patience and thanks for the well wishes some of you sent my way. Now it's time to get back to work.

 

[SC Stories]

This is my attempt at a poll:

Vivian has an important business meeting with Christian and can't decide what to wear. 'Like' this post (and this post only) if you think she should wear this outfit:



'Like' the post below if you think she should wear the other outfit. Most likes wins.
(look at the next post below for the second outfit)

 

[SC Stories]

This is the 2nd half of the poll:

'Like' this post (and this post only) if you think she should wear this outfit instead:



Only 'like' one of these two posts. Most likes wins and that outfit will be used. Thanks for playing.

Good to hear from you my friend. Thanks for the update!
