VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - No More Money [v4.1.1 S4 Ep.1 GE] [RoyalCandy]

This game already has a lot of content, and from that existing content I can tell that this game is never ever going to give me a hardon. Not even a semi hardon. There is no point in me waiting for future updates, so I am adding this game thread to my ignore list. Because this game does not sexually excite me at all, I want to give it a 1 rating. But because the game is not a trash game, and is actually a little polished, I will give it a 2. I know that anyone can look at these dozen or so women and consider them attractive because they have nice physiques, pretty faces, salon hair, nice clothes, etc. But it is possible for some women to be attractive and not excite me sexually at all. I don't know how it is possible, it just is. And every single female in this game is that type of female for me. This game has countless attractive women and yet not a single female or scene in this game gave me even the slightest erection. So that is my biggest complaint. There is no point in me downloading and playing a game to get my fap on when I am unable to fap to anything. I have some minor complaints too. Despite the game having a polished appearance to it, the developer forces the "Enter Save Name" prompt every time that you want to save, and he doesn't provide an option to toggle it off. I also find it weird that the developer gave this game an incest tag and has incest situations, but the incest patch is made by some random F95 user. It's pretty bad when your work isn't satisfactory enough and someone else has to come in and make changes for you. And it would have been great if I could have renamed the female characters. Like instead of seeing "Charlotte" all of the time, I would have liked to see "Mommy" instead. This game really did not feel like an incest game at all to me, which was disappointing because I really look forward to incest games. But going back to my major complaint. Even if I treated this as a normal visual novel with no lewd content, there is nothing about the story, characters, situations, dialogue and so on that have any appeal to me. I can't even enjoy this game as a story novel. It's just ordinary and boring. So because of that, I can't recommend this game to anyone, even to those who don't care about lewd fap content.

If you want a game where two of the LI's look the same, the writing is cliche, and choices don't fucking matter, look no further than "No More Money." I don't think I've ever seen a game that has so much potential be ruined by a clear lack of effort. And if everything I hear about the dev's last game is true, it really doesn't help this game's case.

For a game that tries to push across the whole "you're poor" schtick, it's not doing a good job. Actual poor people don't go shopping every day, they don't eat out all the god damn time, and they certainly don't prioritize those things when they finally get their hands on some cash. And I speak from experience. I mean, hell, the mom hasn't even tried looking for a job, and her youngest kid is still in school. Not a very attractive quality if you ask me. I'm not even going to get started on the sister route. It's the typical "accidentally see each other naked all the time" droll. It's not funny, it's fucking stupid. Not to mention she has absolute ZERO redeeming qualities. She's still in school, she's a little smartass, AND she shits on the MC's girlfriend pretty often (who, at this point, has done nothing wrong).

The worst part about this game is that the father, who is made to seem like an irredeemable asshole, might be one of the most relatable characters. He's supposed to be the breadwinner of the house, but he was recently laid off and he had to take one hundred of his former employees with him. Hell, one of them even killed themselves afterwards and another couldn't pay for their cancer medicine. That shit will mentally tear you apart, yet not a single person has asked him how he's doing. Now, that's certainly no excuse to treat your family like garbage. You should never called your wife a "whore" and try to play it off like office talk. That's scummy.

The only saving graces of this game are Lisa and Lauren, in my opinion. Yes, they are cliche as well (super slutty girl and inexperienced rich girl), but I do enjoy the characters. They compliment each other well and I'm watching this game solely to see where their paths lead.

Great game and excellent visuals , the intro was a little fast paced , story is paced evenly between chapters , and the option to choose is a good addition, music is exciting , however the landlady and roommate are too bold too soon , one thing that is to be left desired is the addition of more characters and side quests as well the choice for M.C to seduce more mature Women . Anyhow a good with great potential . Would love to see how the ending/endings work.

Good Points
+We have well maked annd good looking animations.
+MC is cool guy to play.
+Girls/Woman are pretty well writed. Espacily MC's mom... I mean... Step mom... Is pretty well writed character. She is so lovely, desparete to feel love and attention etc... I realy like her. Espacily that ''Rawr'' in pool scene was cute asf <3

Bad Points
-Our animations can use to be little bit long like 1 second more, not to much. And little bit better body physics with lively faceial expressions can be good aswell.
-Right now our game have 5 episode but our game dont have enough content for five episode. Its just couple of days, nothing more, nothing less...
-While our characters have good development our story is pretty much cliche.

For The End
Its good game but needs some work.

As someone has said already "same old, same old".
There was a hope when this project has started, yet every new episode brings more and more disappointment. Cliche story, bad writing, non interesting characters, no real choices, and "im gonna bore you to death" mc make this game one to avoid imo. The only good thing, as in few similar cases, are decent renders and hot chicks. Yet that alone is not nearly enough to compensate for all its flaws.
In short, this has become quite easy choice - down the drain with the game.

Version and playtime: Played on 0.4 about 3 hours of gameplay +20 minutes to speedrun through the alternate paths.

Visuals: Renders are top notch. Vast improvement over the authors previous game. They're more of the cartoony style (think Mr Dot's games) than hyperrealism but I really enjoy them. The animations are a little bit weaker. The game doesn't have a lot of sex so far so TBF it is hard to judge completely but it's one position one angle short loop so room for improvement but for me animations matter way less then render quality, The MC is a good looking dude also which matters in third person VN's I think.

Characters: Great all around. The classic setup of dick dad and son who cucks him yet they still make the dad sympathetic and make the family dynamic interesting so I wonder how things will go when or if the dad finds out what is (eventually) going on. Characters are real and independent and exist for reasons other than to just service MC's magic cock.

Writing: It is still early in the story but it is interesting so far. Things seem to fall to easily into the MC's lap which is a little contrite but it is hinted at that there is more going on so maybe there is a reason for it. Author does a good job of giving you a slow burn for the relationships that are taboo (as it should be ) while still giving you side girls that have sex quickly so the pacing and story-lewd content ratio is good.


Overall a definite game to look out for. Only released in FEB2021 and it already is on chapter 4 so if the author keeps up this pace you'll never be bored the way you are with some authors waiting 6 months for 15 minutes of play...

+Renders
+Characters are, for the most part, likable (except the dad, of course lol)
+Incest without NTR (no disrespect if that's your thing, but if you're like me, this is definitely a plus)
+Frequent enough updates

-Story (it's nothing fresh, this is as straightforward as it gets)

The only reason it's not four stars is because this developer has shown integrity so far and you don't have to wonder when they're going to update. Keep up the great work.

So far so good with the story, the sexy bits aren't really there yet, but it's just beginning so I'm sure we'll get there eventually. I love the visuals in this, not sure how he's doing but the renders look fucking fantastic, the animation isn't all that fluid though. Girl looked kind of rigid when she was riding high, overall good stuff, can't wait to see the story finished and where it ends.

This is for Season 1, episode 4.

The renders are nice but the animations are pretty bad (at least the one against the rails in the club). Amazing pick of music and very nice character exposition. The cast is versatile and nicely fleshed out. I wished the badass/jerk path would be more fleshed out and leading to some blackmail scenarios (yes I know the tag is not there, but the walkthrough hinted at that) but either everyone liked me too much or it's not there yet.

Hit one traceback, but hitting ignore just followed on. Apart from that instance no issues with the game on the technical side.

Worth a shot.

This game is proof that sometimes the universe will conspire to make something good but if you just winged it then your next projects will most likely suck.... This dev has a good first game, a failed second that's on hold and a painfully mediocre third (this one).

The one thing that's consistent across all his projects is the visual quality. The models and environments look good. You can see actual improvement on that front.

But that's not enough when you have a mediocre, extremely uninspired story and boring gameplay.

It's the standard taboo fare, landlady and roommate fall in love with Gary Stu MC and his big dick. Yes you guess right, landlady will catch him with pants down. Actually pretty much everyone catches MC with his cock out at some point. He shouldn't bother with pants anymore. And since a glimpse of a penis is all you need to score, everyone seems to fall for him.

Game is full of silly tropes you see in projects of this type. MC is supposed to be young and relatively inexperienced and yet he acts like an ultra-macho, testosterone full bull. Girls are getting pregnant just from being in proximity, that's the kind of manliness we are talking about. Of course it's the same dude who gets a raging boner at the sight of anything vaguely female like the incel supreme but who cares.

He proclaims his dad is dead to him and then proceeds to beat the shit out of the old man and force him to announce he is impotent to the world. No, not joking, that's an actual scene... The reason for all this? Dad said a vaguely misogynistic comment that wasn't even directly aimed at the "landlady". And of course that preachy white knight is completely selfless in doing all that. It's not like he wants to bang the landlady....

So badass this college dude is that his big dick energy couldn't be contained when his female boss tried to coerce sexual favors from him. "I'm no pussylicker bitch, how dare you?". He puts hands on her and practically threatens her in her own office. Small detail : The boss lady is leading a crime organization with various (actual) bad men in her employ. And she was also armed while MC was already seen changing colors at the mere sight of a gun a couple updates back. The game practically forces you to act like a macho retard if you don't want to close her path.

Which is another issue with the game. Most choices are non-choices. It's either "pick this for a +1 with a character so you can eventually see pron with them". Or don't and don't see porn in this porn game. There are very few actual choices (like the job one).

It's still early but this needs a lot of work in both gameplay and characters to realize its potential.

Update v2.8.0 S2 : I decided to revisit this and, while it still has many of the shortcomings mentioned above, it does have some pretty solid improvements too. Namely, the dialogue between the two main girls and MC has vastly improved. The fact that it goes back and fourth and it has twists, confict and drama is very appreciated. Many games gloss over the fact that this type of relationship has to be a roller coster by nature. It can't be easy, otherwise it wouldn't be considered forbidden. The other thing that surpised me, was not as major but still enough to be noted. This is one of the very few games that bothers to portray the impact of cheating (from the MC) to an NPC character. It was just a small scene but it did hit hard and it's very rare you get to see the impact of such choices in games. At this point this is definitely not a 2 star. My rating would be 3.5 but since I can't, it gets a bonus one for the effort.

I like it. Attractive girls, nice render, good background music. The story seems common, but I guess we cannot expect every game to have a unique story.. It's an obvious improvement from this dev's previous game..

Very good game, interesting plot and beautiful characters. I like these games. Never wrote a review, but this game is worth it =)). Updates are released steadily once a month, but I would like more often ))))

decent story, decent characters and nice music, sure the game has some cliches but that doesnt mean its bad, i like it and think u should give the game a try. looking forward to see this game progress

What do we have here? Nothing new, nothing original. Recycling old ideas and events. Story is non existent, once again we play as horny dude, who have no personality, no charisma, no charm, but by some miracle all female NPCs perceive this empty shell as god, creme de la creme of mankind, who's appearance is enough for panties to drop off. Once again we have way too pushy "landlady-ish" figure, who should be arrested for sexual harassment. Once again we have "choices" which doesn't matter. Pick whatever you like, you'll get same outcome. And, of course, there is unavoidable Royal Candies cliche "trademark" - MC gets caught while masturbating. Blah...
Arts might be only bright spot of this game.
Would I recommend this to others? If you don't mind replaying already seen just with different models, than, by all means, go for it, otherwise don't bother with it.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME
No More Money - Review (Ep3)

What can i say about this game that hasn't already been said? I played this game for the first time recently and it blew my mind at how good it was. I had very little expectations going into the game as i have played the previous game (No More Secrets) but didn't like how that game ended so i never gave the dev's follow up game a chance until now and boy am i shocked.

First and foremost the best thing about this game is the quality of women. I can tell you right now that there will be someone for everyone regardless of your taste in women but personally i fell in love with the mothers character, it's an absolute blast to see where the relationship between the mc and her is going and every little bit of screen time they had together had me glued to my screen. The point i'm trying to make is that every single girl is loveable in their own way.

The 2nd big thing about this game is that the main character isn't a total piece of garbage like in most games, it actually feels like he has a soul and hes wanting to work to make his families life easier and yeah there's one bad thing that the mc does early on if you follow the WT mod but it wasn't THAT bad in the grand scheme of things. Compared to most other game MC's this guy is perfect.

Last thing i'll add is that the way the dev has incorporated music into the game is something i haven't seen done this well since Leap of Faith came out, which is another game in my top 5 list.

This game is an amazing experience even if its slighty still too early to give it a fair rating. I'll just say that after playing through the game twice in 4 hours it's become one of my favorites on the site and has made it into my top 5 list.

I played royalcandy last game "No More Secrets" some time ago and i liked it, but this is a big step forward for the developer. Even if the story is not original (as someone already said) i'm happy the developer is getting better and better: compared to NMS the renders have higher quality and finally he understood that throwing 30 female characters together is not good. I'm going to put 5 stars hoping the game will have a good ending (we will see about that).

This game is loaded with AVN tropes. Another game with the "household" schtick where it's your *totally not family* that you're likely going to bang at some point.

The story is compelling enough. Reminds me a lot of "Fashion Business" in the riches to rags to riches story arch. At least the MC has a goal that isn't just getting his willy wet. The choices you make do affect the story and who you pursue. So far it seems like a streight forward click and go game with some choices sprinkled in.

The renders are really really nice. The game accept that realism adjacent feel. The models are smooth as porcelain, but the art design really makes it work. I like this style better than the ultra textured skin that just looks bad. The mom and sister, oops ""landlady and friend"", look like they could be sisters, if not twins. The girls you meet are beautiful, but I have to say I feel like the girlfriend at the beginning of the game is made to be a littler uglier so you feel more free to move on from her.

I will say, the term "Falling for" is used very liberally in some situations. MC meets a girl the day before and she says she's falling for him. That's not how that works. I'm not saying it cant be fast, but damn, less than 24 hours? There are a few things like that in the game, not huge issues, but eye rollers for sure.

The renders alone make this game worth playing, everything else is a cherry on top.

there is not a single girl I dislike in this game. They all look fantastic. It is difficult to find any flaw from any of them. Storyline - I don't know, but because girls are so nice I just decided to play slowly reading all the scripts they make
the only bad thing for this game is that - tris and charlotte are way too hot even they are family to MC, they become bascially only ones I want to go after. please add more contents for them will ya? or they are main characters?

5/5 for me.

Renders:
Excellent renders, very pleasant to look at.
All LIs are great looking. Favs are ofc Charlotte and Tris <3

Story:
Personally I have no problem with the overall plot.
Yes, it is not something fresh but the interesting characters and good writing make up for it.
Remember there are many games with very unique plot and they suck hard cuz of bad writing.

Choices:
Numerous path to explore, many different options in LIs to go after.

Other:
Love the BGM. Great selection of songs. BGM is not something important to a VN but here it fits very well with the scenes and doesn't feels out of place.
I'd also like to mention the update schedule. There are many people that take months and months for a single update but the update at the end are nothing but disappointing or are very short in length. But this one has been very consistent so far and the length of updates have been very good too.


Love the overall feel of it.
A few more updates and this will definetely be in my Top 10.

I've seen this!

No it's brand new?

Anyway this is the never ending story, there is not a lot to spoil but I'm not gonna go into details!

Even thou as everyone pointed out it's not the most original story:
- It seems I can't get enough of it
- The conversation's are fresh and interesting
- The models are different enough for me, and really beautiful
- There are interesting and original moments
- Updates are instant
- Even thou I know where this is going, i can't wait!
