VN Ren'Py My New Girlfriend [After Party] [CircleGames]

[ItsNotUs]

yup i stopped when Anya starts having thoughts of turning into a slut from being a innocent girl, overnight. so everyone around you is just gonna turn into a deviant slut that wants to bang everyone? lame and boring cuck logic. i tried to give it a chance to see if some girls would be off limits to other dudes and be exclusive to the player, especially those related to the mc, but no, doesn't appear to be heading in that direction....also think they missed an opportunity with Violet with a romance, love path....but the dev needs to corrupt them ALL.....

....she starts out as the sweet, innocent archetype girl and she constantly says things like "i can stop if you don't like it" or "i don't want to upset you. never." and at least many times she always wants to double check with the mc if something is ok for her to do but the player has no control or choice or say in anything so....which makes the game boring as well because it makes the mc feel like he is just blowing in the wind being passive about everything. what kind of man would want his mom hanging around a nefarious slut like sonia who parades your moms ass around town for all the men to see?? and the mc just says "as long as she's happy" lmao, completely fucking useless mc. and i'm sure that is only the introduction of your mom becoming a whore in this game.....the game needs choices badly and split paths love or NTR paths for the girls as some of the girls were actual good girls and it's silly/ridiculous they turn into insatiable sluts....had a lot of potential because of the art and the girls are hot but i'm tapping out of this one..

I agree with you on almost everything, i wrote that post without finishing the possible content. I liked that Vi teases MC a lot, but didn't cross the line:
- "I even sent those naughty photos to the photographer"
MC heart is beating, he is stunned, then Vi:
- "I was joking, i love teasing you, these photos just for you!"

But Maki take the phone and writes to Vi to send those photos and any other depraved one she wants, it immediately kills interest!
MC thinks that he is deciding something, that he has control over the situation, but in reality everyone decides for him and he’s like that! Lol
Yes, i understand that this is NTS, that’s why i wrote a post about the choice, because the game at first, no matter what is NTS AI, looks good, but at the end of the last update "you" just stop wanting to play it, especially then Anya, after seeing a black dick, immediately turned into a horny slut, although all her life before, she had been a modest, sweet girl!

I concluded for myself that i will not play it for now and if someday the dev adds different paths and choices i'll give it another chance, because it's a shame, it could have turned out to be a really interesting project, but this is just a project for fans of quick corruption and weak MC.
Ok this is their choice, I made my own and i advise to you do the same!

I skipped like half the dialogue, but that's still exactly how I felt about the MC. Even the images are enough to convey this.
NTS isn't really my thing, but I thought it would at least be a proactive choice by the MC and make for an interesting story.
The art and a few hot scenes make up for it so far, but I doubt the intention of the dev was for people to skip the story just to see the good bits.

That's the way to go! This kind of AI CG stuff can be fork for an unlimited number of scenario! Shadow of Ambition is the perfect exemple, once you have learned how the AI generation work, the scripting structure can be a copycat of any project and the only important thing left is the writing!

This is the thing i am trying to explain. This game is kinetic, so dev can’t give us choices. Ok, fair enough. But maybe they could give us characters with different paths so we could witness to an interesting story.

I really like NTS, i would love to see unfiltered version of it. But i know there are people who likes more active MC, and i understand it. Technically dev is giving both of us what we want. All LIs get NTSed and MC has sex with all of them. But in reality this approach is only giving us copy paste paths for all characters.

Maki could be entirely hard NTS while Anya is exclusive love interest type of thing. But nope, everyone gets NTS, everyone gets dirty with MC.

Can someone tell me the difference between paths of Ari, Maki, Vi and Anya? They have different physical attributes and different approaches, yes. But in the end MC has sex with all of them and he watches all of them with other men. Maybe if let’s say sharing route for Vi , Love route for Anya, NTS route for Maki and cheating route for Ari were determined paths, we could be talking about an interesting story choice. But no.

You know, it would be nice to at least have such an option as you described, that for each girl in the game have is its own scenario, but the problem for many is that this doesn’t even exist!
You were right when you said that all girls have the same scenario. Is this interesting?
A simple choice, even if there were not many paths, but only two paths would make the game more interesting and attractive:
- A strong MC, who fucks all the girls and they love only him, teasing will not change this
- Or as the dev intended, a weak MC (although it seems to him that he is strong) who interacts with girls, but they are also fucked by others
At the same time, we have a choice, you could decide for yourself which of the girls to follow the vanilla path and with whom to sharing path. It was much more interesting!

I don’t know, the dev of the same "Shadows" writes that it takes him a lot of time to code and text. Therefore, his game is purely kinetic, he said that if add the choice and different paths will increase development time significantly.
I’m not a programmer, i don’t know how much time this actually takes.

The problem is MC isn’t weak either. Like you said he is getting controlled, but he is also bedding all LIs? Like i said, there could be a balance if dev is incapable of coding the choice system. MC could dom Anya while Maki doms MC. But no, every single character follows the same “We are going NTS but we will also sleep with MC to not to piss harem seekers.”

MC doesn’t have a character, he is just like an enzime for a chemical reaction. There for things to happen.

Like i said, i love NTS. But i would love it if she stayed out of it because not everyone has to follow the same path. Anya going NTS kills the effect off other characters choice of going NTS, because literally everyone is doing it!

Also being able to have sex with every character also kills the speciality of it, if i can have sex with everyone why should i feel the effect of NTS?

But then again, this is simply the path dev chose. It won’t change, and it definitely paid off. I just hope there will be better games (Hopefully SOA) which deal with relationships with more options.

The coding part can really be complicated for someone who is inexperienced. If you have already had experience with Python, Ren'Py can feel familiar because it uses the same logical syntax for programming.

For me, the problem lies in translating the creativity of a narrative into code, especially when aiming for a non-linear story. Proposing different scenarios, situations that are believable for the background of the story is complicated, and now adding that the story should be attractive makes it even worse.

You really have to be organized with the story, and that's why I have a lot of respect for the dev. It's evident that they try to provide a good story for us, and I hope they can carry out their idea to the end.

news about date update¿¿?

MC is about as proactive as you get in the genre. He started a bit slow but saying he wasnt proactive last chapter is still just crazy to me. Yea, Vi came up with the idea to play a game but he got to decide on what the game was and when it ends. He made sure to bring Vi back to his place and then he made sure to punish the shit out of her. Vi gets to be proactive too, that doesnt make Eric just a passenger and Vi has continually asked Eric for affirmation.

We are 4 chapters and about the same number of days into the story. Eric is still experiencing clear growth, and its still crazy to me people are missing it. Although ignoring half the dialogue probably didnt help.

 

[CircleGames]

Which part is not true? The part i have said people should expect NTS because it is literally in tags?

Or the part where i assume MC will have sex with every single LI and they will all get NTSed? We will see this, and you hold the power over the story. But i guess everyone can see it happening.

Or the part where i said dev barely visits the forum? I think that was a good assumption too since your last comment was on November 14th, three weeks ago.

The part were you said I didn't care about it, based on an assumption like you said, the assumption was good just not true xD

 

[Deleted member 1364951]

So MC will have sex with every single LI and every single one of them get NTSed. Great! Brilliant story choice! I am glad you care XD

I was just saying that it's not true that I don't care about this thread, that's what you wrote at first, " Or the part where i said dev barely visits the forum? " This is not what you originally wrote...I quoted the original sentence, just as a way to tell people I do visit the thread and I am here, everyday...Already said this before but I know this thread gets a lot of coments so it gets buried pretty quickly, as long as you tag me I will respond

Any ETA on chp 5?

Any ETA on chp 5?

Not yet, like chapter 4 I will anounce the date once I know it's certain, meaning it will be anounced pretty close to the actual release itself...As a costumer I always felt sad when my fav projects didn't get an update on christmas time and I would love to have the chapter 5 ready by christmas or new years eve but at the same time I am not willing to cut the content of the chapter for that to be possible, this one will have a lot of scenes with mutiple girls and that takes a lot of time in Photoshop to bring to life at the quality level I desire...But it's early december so there's no point in talking about release date for anyone wondering, I will adress that closer to christmas.

Hmmmmm would guess maybe it'd be mid January or before.

MC is about as proactive as you get in the genre.

You're probably right in more ways than one. Even non-NTS games fall victim to passive MCs. It doesn't mean this aspect can't and shouldn't be better though. Especially with a somewhat divisive subgenre, it would elevate the game as a complete package.

He started a bit slow but saying he wasnt proactive last chapter is still just crazy to me. Yea, Vi came up with the idea to play a game but he got to decide on what the game was and when it ends. He made sure to bring Vi back to his place and then he made sure to punish the shit out of her. Vi gets to be proactive too, that doesnt make Eric just a passenger and Vi has continually asked Eric for affirmation.

We are 4 chapters and about the same number of days into the story. Eric is still experiencing clear growth, and its still crazy to me people are missing it. Although ignoring half the dialogue probably didnt help.

People aren't exactly missing it, they just have a different perspective. The reason you see criticism of that aspect, is because for players that aren't into this specific genre, these issues stick out like a sore thumb. Meanwhile they might be only minor nitpicks for the core audience.
While Eric has seen some growth, even his agency in the sticky scene was prompted by Violet coming up with the idea in the first place. Honestly it felt like she was in control for a lot of the sex scene as well. Overall it feels like MC is only proactive in very small doses. You and I don't have to agree - we can see the same scenes differently and both opinions can be valid.

Me giving this feedback is not to say that the dev must change the game's genre, or even the writing. If he wants to stick to a certain creative vision that's his priority and passion, and I'd rather have him finish the game than get burnt out by pushing it into a direction he didn't want.
However, if he is looking for feedback that's that might help the game appeal to a wider audience while keeping the core concept - that's mine.

Maybe someone could do a mod that changes up the dialogue. That way both sides could get what they want.

NTS-crybaby mod, a checkbox in the menu to enable Alpha MC Mode, where it changes all MC's dialogue to be tough as fuck, "listen up bitch, it's time to suck this other fellas dick, okay? and i don't want any back talk!"

finally, a mod for the dudes out there who are definitely NOT cucks, but just like to watch their wives and girlfriends get their faces fucked by random hobos around town

 

[angel__666]

There is an easy fix the dev should do about the lack of choices that would help increasing the immersion. As Vi only had sex with Eric so far, dev could add some alternative dialogue for the already existing scenes (no need to huge reword creating branches for now).

Right now the corruption is too fast and it doesn't sounds like a natural order of events. Even the corruption being something inevitable, the player should be able to control the pace (or at least try). Maybe adding some resistance, doubts, guilt in the dialogues... There is nothing more exciting in a corruption game than when the MC tries to have full control and the things goes out of hand. We could have the same progression for Vi's events, but these straight forward static dialogs with the MC begging to his girl to become a cuckold fails.

IDK just an idea (this could be useful to future branches as well).

I love this game, but TBH it's not a game... Sounds more like an erotic book. It must have some (several?) choices to make any sense for me playing this.

Eh, I was going to leave a more polite reply (and I sort of doubt Vi will be facefucked by hobos but I digress) but this does essentially cover the main point of what I was going to write. Ultimately Eric already is a pretty active and dominant MC within the context of NTS, he likely will be a bit more so as the story goes on... but it is still NTS which means certain boxes have to be checked just to hit the right notes.

One of the counterbalances is that he will get with other women, I do wonder if some of those will in any way tick a cuckquean or even netori box, it's something interesting to think about.

But I digress, point is you're more or less right. Changing the dialogue is ultimately silly, Eric isn't some super big cuck but he is ultimately in a sharing/swinging/exhibition/NTS relationship and no switching up the dialogue will change that core fact. And if Eric literally getting to rail the shit out Vi and a bunch of other girls still leaves some people feeling like he's too weak and ineffectual, they were never going to enjoy anything NTS.
