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

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!

Beutiful renders but other then that It's just an average game at best,
The story is pretty boring sofar though there might be to little of it to properly judge.
The characters and the dialogues are the real downer, it's all very immature and unrealistic, especially if you decide to not be a jerk or focus on one female raghter then everybody.
For example the reaction of lauren and lisa at the beach if you tell them you have a girlfriend.
They just walk out on you for having a girlfriend when they get a honest revelation, all for one of them kissing you during a apartment showing (also a wierd event btw)
Most interactions with the sister are along those lines aswell there's not alot of potential for romantic feelings there yet just your average "I have 0 experience, lets experiment with my bro" character we've all seen countless times before.
The best interactions are with the mother Id say but that's more based on perversion and lust aswell.

All this leaves me thinking the game is meant to be played as a "dick everything with boobs" type game even tough there's supposedly solo routes, they'll probably lack depth unless characters receive some depth themselves.
Maby some rewriting could make these routes or even a faithful route with girlfriend seem more authentic.

Will still check up on the game in the future and might change my rating if it became better/worse.

Cliche does not always means bad!

Pros :

• Liking the story progression, nice build up, not a fuckfest and quite romantic i would say and multiple routes available
• Renders ? love it, Mom and Sis are drop dead gorgeous also not to mention other girls as well, which are a job well done.
• The animations are quite nice!

Yeahh the story is cliche, but i don't mind it if its good and NMM is in this category.

Had a great time playing and definitely could not wait for more

GOTTA TRY THIS ONE!

Boring, completely bland story that everyone has already seen sooooooooooooo many times. Lack of imagination and creativity is shown, when the story is exactly the "same old same old" family stuff with nothing new to offer, "routes" has nothing special to offer and do not differ like at all, and even characters are straight up copied and ripped off from the other games that are made by more successful devs. Don't waste your time, play something else instead. Disappointment.

I really like this game.
This has really good renders and the characters are really well done. I am waiting for the charlotte content. Hope we get a good harem with family members and some other LIs , Good luck to the developer.

As of 0.2 the game is just bad. It looks decent visually bt thats more thanks to render power, cause designs are just copypasted dolls with back issues, and lighting is good, but in a default way.

Scenes are a little unbalanced towards the mommy route right now, and again the main thing that enables things to happen is a total lack of control of Mcs pennis.

So far there are 2 routes that are, again, copy pasted so it doesnt matter the route you choose, you get the same reward from the same girls,just in different places. (Well done!...)

And storywise is the typical setting with siblings that dont get along, but the thing gets fixed too soon for nothing right now. I guess that is justified since he knows 0 about her love life. you have to be a really absent brother to not know about your sisters love life.

I wish i could say that i see the potential, but this copypasted route thing with the exact same options doesnt mmake me see a bright future ahead.

I would say the music is good, cause it has music, but i dont like it. But i can say that the songs create a quality expectation that the game doest not meet.

EDIT for S2E2 GOLD . (didnt know shit could be golden also)
SPOILER:
The farthest you get with the sister is that she will show you a nipple. I played 0.2 in march, and after 7 months that is how far one of the main characters is. Asi i always say, it is good that things get to build up nicely, but that only works for a finished product. There is a 7 weeks later message, before those weeks, you got her to show you a nipple, and for those 7 weeks nothing happened to move that forward. This writing knows how to attack suspension of disbelief.

In the end you get to have things happening with side characters that have only a small backgroud story, as i alwys said, for that i better write something in my head for a random porn video online. I rejected the mother and still got half scenes that are like 2 years ahead of the sister's scenes if we were to establish a timeframe based on current progression.

So, i insist, if you are in this game for the sister, dont play it. Wait for February 2023, around taht time, maybe things will be in first base, if we are lucky.
So far in the actual satte fo the game, interactions with Tris will end in you watching an erect penis. and thats it, if you play the game, you will know this is true. (it is literally what happens, he gets hard and you get to see a close up of his dick)

very good, Estoria promises to be very engaging, since the beginning with two opposite paths, there is no way to play this game just once, thanks developers for this gift. I will put it on my list of favorite games and follow each update made, always looking forward to it.

some of the negative feedback here must be due people holding a grudge personally against the Dev, because the criticism like "grind" is simply incorrect. There is NO grind at all. This game is at its earliest stage, so you just get a sneak preview, but it is off to a good start. beautiful renders, nice dialogue and great choice to offer 2 paths, one for conventional love/nice guy, and one corruption, but both will lead up to the same sex scenes (so you do not miss out the "important" content. ;-)

Story-wise it is not original, question is: do you care? For me personally, the "corrupt your close ones" formula still works, but if you want a completely novel, different game experience, look elsewhere.. if you like mainstream corruption on 2 paths, enjoy..
