Ren'Py - New Family [v0.1.5] [King Peanut]

So far what's there is brilliant, scenes are amazing, Azuna's storyline was good, can't wait for the other characters to have their arcs aswell. Corruption is managed really well, no stupid unneccesary grind. The stand out is the H-scenes though, hope this carries on for the other characters.

The concept is very interesting, besides the animations are peak and well made that was the first thing thatbrought me in, anyway u just hope for more updates and that this doesn't get abandoned like most goo games here

Great animations, good models and a not frustrating slow burn to get to the action.
Still pretty low in quantity of smut, but the quality is excelent.

Having said that, the game NEEDS a better navegation system. It quickly becomes a chore to travel from one location to another, specially since there is almost nothing to do in anywhere most of the time and you need to pass days to progress.
A botton to go back to your room from anywhere is essential and it would help a lot to have a similar option to move around.

review for 0.1.5

First of all clickbait title
For a game that's named New Family it has zero incest scenes
I played until latest update and the whole game was about a bully classmate you blackmail and later have sex with
The sister has zero scenes a night event where you look at her tits that's all
MC spies on his mom that's all
The money part you did not have to grind
No bugs
No incest
To much focus about the classmate
sex scenes are good
didn't play with sound

Probably one of the best corruption games in this game, from great worked scenes to great worked route and appealing characters to the view of the horny people (all of us) this game just does everything right, it had a rough start in the early version but all of the problems it had got fixed and now i can freely say is 10/10 corruption game for sure, i love how you build the relationship with the characters, it's not just a quick fap with a plain story, it actually has an interesting route, it's one of those game that i was skipping though every dialogue but i came to realise very soon i was missing a lot by doing that, honestly i can't wait for this game to continue, definitely one of my favorites!.

Top tier animations designs and production quality. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the game design and the story. The "linear sandbox" design in my opinion takes the worse of both worlds since you can't
Top tier animations designs and production quality. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the game design and the story. The "linear sandbox" design in my opinion takes the worse of both worlds since there is nothing much interesting to do in the world around except going to the next place the story needs to proceed, and it is a lot of extra clicks for what could just be a direct VN. But that doesn't bother me too much, the issue is the MC.

He is terrible. Very weak, passive and ecchi anime protagonist levels of "I am afraid of sex". I don't need a extreme gigachad protagonist in every game but c'mon. There is a hot teacher that clearly likes him, his sister, and the rest of his family, but he only focus on the worst girl that is making his life hell (I hate this plot so much). He even runs away from the gym girl who wants to fuck him.

I won't say it is all bad because like I mentioned before the designs and animations and every technical aspect of the game is god tier, but as much as I tried to like it I simply can't. The MC ruins it for me.

The animation in this game is absolutely GOAT-level, a true masterpiece of visual storytelling. The character designs are refreshingly unique, each one brimming with personality and style that sets this game apart. While the plot might not be the most intricate or groundbreaking, it's certainly serviceable and keeps you engaged. And thankfully, the main character is far from being a stereotypical dumb protagonist; they're intelligent, resourceful, and make sensible decisions. But above all else, it's the sheer brilliance of the animation that truly captivates me.

Pros:
NO NTR (or at least not forced NTR as of this update)
Good animations - has jiggle physics
Animations have sound effects -moaning, plapping
Well written corruption
No grinding - you work like 5 times
Sexy character models
Asuna is adorable - she enjoys what you do to her
Cons:
annoying navigation - typical sandbox BS
idiotic MC
Don't listen to the ******* down below who say it has NTR, it doesn't.

With there now being a completed story arc for a character in the new update I now feel comfortable rating this as very promising.

For people complaining the game "feels" like it will have NTR the ending to Asuna's first arc made it clear to me that the creator is committed to at least the main story line being free of NTR.

I feel like a lot of people complaining are also completely ignoring the fact that there are dialogue/story choices that have not been implemented yet. This branching bath approach shows promise for future updates as I can easily see these choices fixing the "MC weak" complaints and could even make NTR OPTIONAL for those complaining about its explicit removal.

All in all I really enjoyed the new update and the models/animations and scenes are above average.

Fuck this game lol

Was drawn in by the animations in the previews. Note: most of what is there are dream sequence scenes - AKA shit that doesn't happen - AKA a waste of everyone's time. Should have been my first clue that this is a game developed by someone who is still learning. There are a good number of other animated scenes that actually occur (scenes with the blonde girl, all others are dreams or in-universe porn as of v0.1.5) but as soon as I saw the existence of dream sequence BS, I should have closed the game. I know better than that but the animations are good and I had hope. Mistake on my part.

I read this game used to have NTR but it was pulled out. Well the game still wreaks of it. The MC is a beta bitch (men, women, you name it - your character is at the bottom of the food chain), and the whole story arc in the game today centers around you and a girl who bullied you falling in love and then falling out of love while another guy wedges his way in and then OH JK IT WAS A PRANK BRO. Hell, even the character who is supposed to be "your best friend" wreaks of NTR vibes. But the worst part is there isn't even any NTR content! So for people who are into NTR, there's nothing here for you, and for the people who aren't NTR - you still get an NTR experience!

I'm giving it 2 stars because the animations and character aesthetic designs are great. The text is often poorly translated? Poorly written? Idk, it reads like ESL shit, but it's fine. Navigating the world is tedious as fuck and shameful imo for a developer to think it's acceptable. But I particularly can't get over these stupid game design choices regarding MC and the story. I want to make it clear that while my review talks a lot about kinks, I don't give a shit if people do or don't enjoy those kinks. I just give a shit about a dev giving a cohesive experience.

Wooooow it's one of the best games I ever played. Thanks for your work)) The graphics, the story, everything is at a high lvl. I am waiting for an update with family members and progress with Asuna story.

How i can find words to define this diamont of porn games ?! Look veary hard and my english is far to be good but for theis game i need give i try. Man this game is simple the best games i play in a long time !!! Story is simple and perfect. The graphics are amazing. This is gold and revive my hope in humanity. Perfect game 1000000000000000/10

I kinda stopped writing reviews due to how time consuming they are, but this hidden gem definitely deserves one.
For some reason got instantly hooked into this game after seeing the first animations. Even idle side characters are having some small animations which gives me the feeling of the world being more alive.
Story so far is also good. People keep saying the MC is an idiot, but I wholeheartedly disagree with this. Given how he grew up, you cant expect him to freaking demolish and dominate everyone. Also his character fits for the story lines so far. He can still grow up to a more badass version, but for now, its ok.

Music is good too. Its good enough to keep me playing. Not too boring to too hyped.

Tits are a bit big yes, but you can still enjoy the girls art very much.

The only thing saddening me is the removal of the ntr paths. its always nice to see what alternative paths are possible for the characters to fall into (personally I like blackmail stuff etc) but whatever. It allows for faster progress in the story so thats a nice thing too.
Maybe he will add it later on again, after the harem route finishes....

Anyway its a great game and I immediately subscribed on his patreon. I wish for the dev a great journey!

PROS
+ Hayato, MC's best friend is good pal, and it's refreshing to see MC not having dumb AF, pervert, annoying best friend like most cliche games in this style.
+ In the sandbox there are people doing some stuff, like hanging around, sitting on benches, talking, etc, they do have animations, so it looks good, and gives a kind of alive sandbox world feeling as well.
+ Sex scenes have animations.

CONS & SUGGESTIONS
- In the story, we have been told MC's parents died, then he started living with his family and close friend, but he died as well, and now he is living with his wife, and daughters, honestly it feels a bit meh, feels like DEV tried soo hard to avoid Patreon Police, maybe adding simple relationship change options would be better instead of ways like this.
- MC feels bit too weak, stupid, and hasty, how he jumped blackmail tries of Asuna, then got caught while following her, and told her ''I'm sorry Asuna, please don't spread the video'', then literally kneel down in front of her after she asked him to do, then let Asuna take a picture of him while he is kneeled down and Asuna's foot on his head, etc, was quite disappointing, annoying, and makes quite hard to like him as a MC..
- Nearly every character in the game treats MC like a sh*t, and that's straight up nonsense, and annoying AF.
- Asuna's existence, and she is constantly trying to create blackmail material to blackmail the MC, etc, was quite annoying, in later updates we have been told she is like MC & Hayato, grow up in foster care, don't have wealthy family, and bullied MC & Hayato because she was jelaous seeing how they stand strong despite their family situation, and same time didn't wanted to caught on, so she constantly bullies them, etc, which is dumb AF... But at least now she is put in her place.
- Visually the game looks a bit low quality, and old, it's like 2015-2020 era visual quality, and better render quality for pictures & animations is needed. And removing flying weird hand pictures could be good, they look really weird.
- Sex scene animations needs better physics, and better positions/angles currently they are not bad, but they are not better than average, but they have potential to become pretty good, some little improvements can be game changer.
- Characters need design changes, generally, they need less saggy tits, especially in sex scene animations even the youngest girl's tits look too saggy, and they stretch too much, especially Miho has a pretty cute face, and looks great when she is clothed, but when she is naked she looks bad because of her saggy tits, and too big areolas and along with saggy tits thing she had very fat, and bad looking ass in the animations as well, even tho she didn't have that fat, and big ass with the clothes on, so it seems DEV need to figure out how to use proportions correctly. Some characters need facial changes as well, like Akari, she has a really big forehead for no reason, making it smaller could make her far more attractive. And Yuna, again big forehead, and really bad hair.
- MC could have use more handsome face, better hairstyle, etc, since the direction is going towards he is getting the girls, it would only make sense him to look better.
- Menu/HUD/UI looks bad, it can use some improvements.
- Hints show up when you only click on them, then a new menu pops up, and you need to close that menu to continue, so either hints show up when you just drag your mouse, and you shouldn't need to open a new menu and close it, or at least closing new pop up shouldn't need to click ''x'' button on that new pop up, like clicking anywhere on screen should close it, etc. Currently getting hints feels a bit tedious, changing it would be a pretty good idea.
- Better profreading needed, even some really simple words are misspelled like in prologue MC's father called ''dady'' instead of ''Daddy'' etc.
The rollback dialogue feature does not always work, seems kind of inconsistent.

VERDICT
Honestly, I was going to give 3 stars since it's a new game, but especially how pathetic MC was, and the render quality looking too old for this year made me change my mind, I will be giving 2 stars, hope DEV will do a better job with upcoming updates, and makes the game reach the potential it has, I personally think this can be 4 stars rate game with the fixes, so we will see.

Awesome character designs, and very nice renders. The plot isn't all that much, but it's fun. And for some weird reason one of the best starting screen songs I've heard on a game from this site.
(For all the scaredy-cats out there, apparently the creator is thinking of scrapping NTR from the game.)

New Family, old story ...

It is early days, but lays the foundations and hints at what to expect in the future, with a little bit of mystery thrown in.

If you dig the art-style, you'll dig the animations - nice and fluid (although, it all just suddenly happens) with the added bonus of sfx.

The dialogue is a bit wooden at times, but serviceable.

A big no-no is sex dream sequences - it ruins interest in a potential LI. If one must have these types of scenes, at least keep it to titillation - which would aid in building the erotic tension for that character instead of going full nuclear.

Anyway!

... I'll check it out in the future after some more updates, maybe you should, too.

A very promising game, the character design, animations and the girls in general are really good, the begining of the story is good too, senceretely i didnt see anything bad for the moment, so i hope this game can continue updating

I'll start by saying that I've NEVER written a review for any game, maybe out of laziness, but I'll dedicate a few minutes to this one, it's the first time I've seen the background animations while you play, so congratulations, I'm sure this game will be a great success, I'll be happy to be your big supporter, very very nice

Amazing models. Amazing animation. Quality sound design. Interesting start to the story. Decent amount of content for a 0.1 version. I'm beyond impressed, and honestly I'm excited to see where this one goes. Hopefully the dev updates consistently.
