VN Ren'Py Next Steps [v0.03.2] [AmazingB]

[Kukipett]

Really like this, to many devs try and over do the story. This one is centered around everyday life, dialogs are great, in the car, shopping , and the kitchen table. Cant wait for jessica to start banging everyone Ole dougs gunna get a piece of Emily too

You know i already have my everyday life with my wife, my children, my work, so well it's a bit boring to find the same stuff here, let's hope they will get a bit more crazy than my family . The aunt is really hot, Jessica is ok but Emily... well no, i will let Doug be the perverted step father who likes to pop loli cherries!

 

[Raziel_8]

Emily is going to be priority number 1 for my MC(I am playing the son as the MC, even if we have multiple protags). She is cute and I hate bullies. I was an athlete in school and I always tried to take up for the bullied. Sarah can go get enough botox that her mouth can't open anymore. Jessica is target 2, gonna cuck dad, if I can. I did let him go down on her before dinner but going to have her choose me over him, whenever the choice comes up. Sorry, pops.

Yes, a choice to rename the main characters would be nice, did the same and changed it in the script, Bobby is just not a name i like.

Same for me, i play with Bobby as the MC, Jessica & Emily as the main girls and exclusive for him. The father is already getting nothing from Jess and will get cucked
For the Father i set him on the path with his ex...not sure if that will be better or worse for him than no sex at all, but then i relly don't care much for anyone besides Bobby/Jess/Emily. Who knows maybe he will get a shot at the blonde slut friend of Jess (hopefully pissing Jess off).

As for the 2 friends of Jess, don't like them, the guy will get no action at all if i can do that, besides watching how his gf get it on with either the father or maybe, but unlikely Bobby. As well as getting rejected from Jess

I also play as stepson and definately going for Jessica and then I’ll try her slutty sister maybe at the gym she can be my personal trainer, hope dev puts some scenes in of Jessica teaching at the school, and we can see the guys hitting on her and maybe something happens with a student if we allow it as long as it’s optional

It would be nice to be sure that it's possible to make the son the only male MC that has sex with the LIs (or better with any girl). If so, I guess I'll give the game a try.

 

[AmazingB]

Some questions about new update:

Can we flirt with Sarah in the future if we reject her at the beach?
Do we have to open a path with Tasha or can we have her scenes if we choose Jessica to sun lotion the MC?

Sarah goes to school with them, so there will be more opportunities to interact with her in various ways both positive and negative. Choosing either Tasha or Jessica will have minimum impact on future events so you don't have to fret over it.

Is there should be an incest tag?

Probably. There's no true incest in the story yet but it is planned as an option for day... I want to say 16/17. So there's still a long way to go to get there.

Personally, I'm not too convinced of games with multiple protagonists. AmazingB, since the male MC seems to be the son, will the father's sex scenes with the LIs can be avoided?

They can be avoided, however if either the father or the stepmother become too unhappy, their relationship will end and conclude the story, so you might want to throw them a bone from time to time.

Are there really a game with this title lol, can't find anything about it

When I first started making AVNs, I got a little over-ambitious, wrote a web-based game engine and planned on making a massive game where you got to choose which character you wanted to be out of several but it was a lot of work and didn't seem to gain any traction, so I put it on pause and came up with this one instead. The game on his screen is that original AVN.

AmazingB Nice game so far but I mentioned on the first release, it would be nice to be able to rename the main characters. I am playing like I am the son, so I did a quick and dirty edit of the files to replace "Bobby" with my first name. It helps with immersion, IMO. Of course, my edit will not work for everyone. Would need to add a bit of code at the start and I am not that good at editing or modding yet. So far, my name is there for the dialogue boxes)both the nametag and when the name is spoken), the hint system and even for the phone display(have not got to that yet to check). Example below...yes, now people might know my first name

In the beginning, during that opening sequence that introduces the family members, I had it set to allow players to rename each of the characters. However, the system I'm using to do the text-messages (which I really like as it's a HUGE time-save) is loaded at runtime and the characters cannot be renamed in it. So if I implemented a way to rename the characters, in the text-message app, it would still show the original names. It took a lot of modding to get it to work the way I wanted it to and no matter what I tried, I could not get it to accept changed names. If anyone out there can get that to work, I'd re-enable name-changing. As it was, I gave up and just left the names hard-coded. Some of my favourite AVNs don't allow you to rename the characters and it never bothered me.

Is Lydia the over bearing mother making a appearance? Love to get some of that fat ass!

Yes, the game starts on the first weekend. Doug and Jessica get married on the second weekend, and on the third weekend, Bobby will have the opportunity to spend it at his mother's.

Not a bad story. Not sure I'm a fan of the third-person perspective. I like to feel like I'm immersed in a story rather than being a bystander to one. Maybe it will grow on me after a few updates.

One of my favourite AVNs is "A Wife and Mother". It's really well done with a great story and slow progression with a female protagonist where you cannot rename any of the characters. My game was greatly inspired by that one as well as "The Adventurous Couple", and "The Office Wife", just to name a few.

animations?

There are some yes. Granted the ones on day one are garbage 2-framed animations, but beyond that they are a lot better and will be going forward.

Thanks. I like stories with that slow progression and a big reason for it is to give a lot of opportunities to make minor choices that, by themselves don't effect the story in a significant way, but in the long-term will. That way the story is a lot less linear, which is what I'm trying to avoid. I want a story with significant replay value.

What about NTR? Will it be in your game, as long as it’s optional and not forced on us.

 

[Raziel_8]

It's multiple protagonists and you make the choices for the son, father, step mom, step sister.
So you get pretty much the content you want, thought i do hope we always get choices and nothing forced out of the blue.

Yeah, I went into the phone.rpy(or some file like that) and edited it from saying Bobby to my name. Since that seems to be a non-standard renpy file, I imagine the normal "choose your name" input would not override that file. Again, I am a novice at coding, so maybe someone out there knows a way to make that integrate properly.

I noticed you mentioned several other multi-protag games, as being fine with the name being static. Most of those are FMC or ones where I choose to play the FMC as the MC in my mind, so I have less issue with a default name. JOHN is another game like that. I just think of myself as "controlling" the FMC. Whereas in a MMC game or multi like yours, I try to actually insert myself into the game. I have no interest in "controlling" a male character unless it is to turn them into a cuck to my character.

In non-sexual games, I am fine playing as Cloud Strife or Dart Feld but when it comes to playing an AVN, I don't want to control the equivalent of a male pornstar(feels a little gay...nttawwt, just not my bag). Maybe if it was Ron Jeremy, because I always thought he was funny, in his cheesiness.

Is there any gay content planned between mc and his father?

 

[neronwtf]

Anyone following him in Discord has any news? He hasn't been active in here since the end of April and normally he had been regular with the updates.

 

[Serenity@Blended Imagery]

I just look forward to how the Doug/Emily Path plays out.... Seeing there is a Bobby/Emily Path as well, which there is also Other Doug Vs Bobby paths for others. Can't wait to see how it all works out and plays out, will mean playing it a few times to open all the story plots and twists as this goes along. So at least it won't be a 1 or 2 paths boring VN like so many others.....

I checked PhoneTexting.rpy and I think you can replace names there, as it's based on "say" screen which handles that successfully.

If you need to use some values in the init phase and also change them during the gameplay and tell Ren'Py to save them (like if they were defined by default statement), I think you can do this:

Instead of

define nvl_doug = "Doug Stevens"
define nvl_bobby = "Bobby Stevens"

do

init python:
    nvl_doug = "Doug Stevens"
    nvl_bobby = "Bobby Stevens"
    # Have these variables defined for the init phase
    # ...

# And afterwards tell Ren'Py that these variables are to be changed and saved:
default nvl_doug = nvl_doug
default nvl_bobby = nvl_bobby

# So we can set player-defined names:
label start:
    python:
        dad_n = renpy.input("Dad is", default="Doug").strip()
        nvl_doug = ' '.join((dad_n, "Stevens"))
        son_n = renpy.input("Son is", default="Bobby").strip()
        nvl_bobby = ' '.join((son_n, "Stevens"))
        # And so on...

It's easy then to mass-replace every "Doug" in dialog lines with [dad_n], etc. Alternatively, we can use config.say_menu_text_filter to modify dialog lines on the fly, but it might be not worth the effort of writing a proper replacement function.

Thank you very much for the game! It's really rocking.

PS. Of course Character definitions and hints would need to be updated too.

The dev could explain better, but I think it's cheating path or Bobby and Jessica (hotwife route)

Dev got a girl, so I guess games on hold.

Yes I could finally read his post on discord. He said that it was taking some more time but wanted to keep the development going. Let's hope for the best. In any case, glad for him.

There is no translation of wincest into my language (portuguese), if anyone can clarify what wincest means in specific terms I would be grateful

It doesn't have a translation because it isn't a word. It is what is called a portmanteau. How in English people call brunch a meal that would be between breakfast and lunch. An example is how people call this genre stepcest instead of incest because the participants are the issue of a previous marriage. Wincest is a dumb word because it combines winning with incest (although it does have another meaning that had been discussed. It it commonly used to denote that there is incest but no NTR.

I feel like wincest, as a portmanteau, would best be used to describe games where you have two options; incest or NTR. Like Power Vacuum. Stop the villainous lecher that's trying to steal your family = WINcest!

any news?

What happened? This game had regular updates.
