VN - Ren'Py - No More Money [v4.2.0 S4 Ep.2 GE] [RoyalCandy]

UPDATE: giving it 1 star (cant give it 0) for abandoned status. (disregard the text below because game is abandoned - no point in rating something that is unfinished). Additional update: since the game development has been continued, I'm okay with giving this game 4-5 / 5 stars as previously stated. My review will be updated when the new update is released.

Just finished the story so far (S3 ep.5), and I can say the game is very well thought through and delivered. You also get a little of back story about side characters which is very nice to see. Dialogues and interactions between characters are awesome, with a lot of cheeky humor that is sometimes hilarious. The game should have some kind of tab to show in-game MC relationship status with other characters, i.e. what MC has done with the particular girl - it would be useful to keep track what MC has done so far with each girl (if player is having multiple routes especially). It would be a plus, but it is not something that is absolutely needed tho. Also this "character screen" could have their age shown (since age is often brought up as "issue" especially between MC and one of the girls. The lack of sound is not something that will make or break the game for me personally since the game itself is visual novel, however it would be nice to have it. Animations are very good, especially due to the fact that you can see improvements of these as you play more. Character design is good, although it could be better if girls would have different sizes of boobs, and to have at least some girls with pubic hair. Not every woman is the same in real life, and this variety would be a plus in the game in my opinion - but I do understand that it takes additional work for the developer and they might consider it irrelevant and time consuming to tweak this attribute. Some idea aspects that could maybe introduced down the road: Asian girl (Japanese or Chinese) to have additional racial variety, Tris peeping masturbation to MC making out with Charlotte and getting caught, sexting (MC and Denise), use of sex toys (Tris solo, Darlene and Katrina lezdom or bondage, Katrina (dom) and MC (sub) domination, and girls (Charlotte or Tris) getting caught watching porn by MC, or MC getting caught making out with Tris by Charlotte (especially with I-patch, this could have different options to it, maybe Charlotte teaching Tris some tricks My overall rating 5/5 definitely. Even with minor flaws the game is still worth playing, so go and PLAY IT!

really good looking game with perfect story building, def recommended for people that are into this type of genre. its got replay value and the characters in this game are really hot as well. tldr worth your time

There's a nice variety and decent choice selection between girls.

Cheating backfires big time (yay) and it actually makes running multiple routes worth it.
Girls are great, everything is available, from younger to older, from slutty to innocent and so on.

Some story bits are fun, some are actually really good.
I am not usually fan of MC getting entangled in some super shady stuff, but this VN does it mostly well.

Keyword: Mostly.
Because there is MC himself.

I am dropping this VN after last update because I just can't read/watch a single thing this mofo does.

Trying to avoid spoilers, so will just say this idiot does something insanely stupid, pays huge price for it, and what does he do in very next chapter? Go back to same place and same people that got his ass near-dead.
Why? Just....why?

If MC had even a single brain cell capable of thinking of self-preservation, this VN would be amazing. Unfortunately he doesn't. He is dumbest person imaginable and I can't keep reading it any longer.

BANGER!! What an awesome game! Beautiful Milf, lovely characters, interesting story, HOT ANIMATIONS!! All of the signature marks a guy like me looks for in a game. I love this style of game, well paced and exciting. I look forward to seeing where everything goes, Thanks Dev!! Your game is Legit

This game has improved a lot over the course of its development. In the first half of the game I wasn't really all that interested because the renders were just ok and the animation was pretty bad. But you can really see how the developer has honed their skills while making this game. Especially in the last quarter of the game the quality really ramped up.

The biggest improvement was in the animations. So if you are concerned about this game at the beginning, just give it some time. You may find your opinion of it changes quite dramatically as it progresses. If I were to rate this game early on it would have only been a 2 star, but the later part of the game is a solid 4 star with room to improve even more.

Story 2/5
Well for me personaly it had a really shitty start, im just not into forced LIs in any way and already within the first 5 seconds of the game you have a girlfriend forced on you and its only to make some kind of weird drama about MC cheating on her, since you leave her the very next day making it even more idiotic forcing her on you to start with, you also got to remember this isent a harem game so your pretty much forced to break up with her which isent an option for a long time and it makes game boring as fuck if your the type that arent into cheating and want to stay on a faithfull route which would be extremly boring since you wont see the girlfriend for ages, so in every single way its an idotic thing to do in a none harem game.

Other then that its pretty much just the run of the mill incest story where you can go after the sister or mother which feels more like the main LIs and the rest feels more like side LIs since most content is with mother and sister.

MC is also the standard pervert with the mindset of a 12 year old, constantly getting boners from almost nothing and thinking about how hot people are, even hes own mother he cant stop think about her big tits and her ass and so on, MC is also constantly flirting which gets annoying not just because its very cringy but also since its a none harem game and he already has a GF.
You will be forced to even go on "dates" with the mother even though you have 0 points in the relationship system, i wish you could turn down a LI ALOT faster like you could do with Sheila the gym girl and Kat the boss in the club, so you wouldent have to read all the constant flirting with people you couldent care less about.

Its also one of those type of games where lesbians will trow them selfs at MC no matter that they are already in a relationship with someone else, it feels a bit stupid and it dosent matter which of the 2 lesbians you work for both will be more then happy to be with MC....


Girls 2/5
Cant say i found they all that hot and with the diversity in builds also being pretty shitty and aimed mostly for people with big tit fetish it dident really help any.

Animations 4/5
They are somewhat decent in the start but seem to get a bit above average later in game.

Music 0/5
Well other then in the menu there is no music, there is a few sound effect which dosent do much for the game and to me a silent game is alot more boring to play as well.

Choices 3/5
Cant give this more then 3 when it has a forced LI without a choice, but with everyone else you meet you do have a choice to go after them for a relationship or not.

Great story, most importantly a finished one.. good graphics, engaging story.. skippable if you feel like.. and has the right amount of tension.. Developer has seen it through and didnt abandon it in between. Even if he doesnt continue now, there is enough here to satisfy any new players.

v3.5.1 S3 Ep.5 One of the very few erotic "incestous" pearls. Very good story telling. Hot girls and women to choose from. Deep enaugh plot to make those relations beliveable. Good teasing and almost no relations that go straight to sex. So build up is satisfying. Add to it that this game has animations like a cherry on top. Really well made game. Long already yet it isn't even close to being finished. At most it crossed halfway point. At least I hope it won't end abruptly in next few updates. If it ends in 5 episodes or 10 it should have time to wrap the story up enaugh to make it satisfying. The thing is.. if it can deliver this kind of updstes to the eternity I won't be mad. I will be mad with respect for dev for his contribution to this genre of games. It really is a good game. Might not be the best in history but at least it is very close.

One of the better games on here and definitely worth trying out.

Pros:

1. Good looking models
2. Story is not bad, MC is not a total douche or beta male as happens in many other games.
3. Story has a decent slow burn and good dialogue, complex enough characters to make reading it all not a complete chore as many other games often are.
4. Lewd and animations are pretty good.

Cons:
Have not been following the game development that long so will get back to some cons later.

The only thing that may be an issue but not really is lack of choices, though I don't really personally see this as issue, its a VN and probably relatively linear, but not in any bad way. Often other games take ages to update due to too many paths or force you to redo your playthrough when some choices are clearly much better.

All in all, great game, good work to dev and support is encouraged!

No More Money [v3.4.1 S3 Ep.4 Gold Edition]

Pros:
+ Attractive character models and designs
+ Steamy situations and interactions
+ Does a good job of building sexual tension
+ Decent, engaging story
+ Good story pace and character development progression
+ Some conversations feel well written

Cons:
- Animations feel a little off at times (some kisses especially)
- Some underlying themes may not be for everyone, but those can be avoided or left unpatched


There are a lot of popular visual novels that are well known for their story, and others that are just glorified sex simulators. This game has a decent balance and lies somewhere between that spectrum.

The build up of sexual tension, the teasing, or the straight up fucking in many different situations is second to none in this. It truly puts the adult in adult visual novel. And yet, unlike some glorified sex romps that pretend to have any semblance of story, this one actually has a decent overarching story plot beyond the sexual relationships.

If you're looking for a slow burn with more story focus, this might not be for you. But if you're looking for something with decent story and writing that's potentially a little spicy, I'd definitely recommend you give it a shot!

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

This game has a very simple gameplay and a very good story.

As always with Royal Candy the animations and the girls are amazing.

I have played several times to unlock all the animations and pictures.

analysis of my personal experience up to the point where I stopped.
the game is good, well made and everything, it just wasn't to my liking.
For me, it has too many provocations... that I started to get frustrated, it's a game of betrayal or loyalty, it presents you with several beautiful girls, even milfs, of which nothing stops you from being with them, some have consequences and others don't... some if you stay with them, the game counts as cheating while others kind of pass you by.. it's more like a psychological resistance test.. in my case.. like having a girl changing her clothes in front of you and you being unable to do anything or if you do, you will be judged by everyone... I don't know what things are like later on in the game if this changes and becomes freer of judgments and everything... but taking into account that it is not a harem game but rather a provocation... for me it's a bit frustrating since it's not really my style even though I tried. I saw some comments about people saying that until the current update there is no sex with the mother and sister who are on the cover of the game and are the main theme of the game... I thought that was a bit funny... but I'll never know. I found the game a bit silice of life, a bit without a climax, I think the main drama will really be focused on betrayal and provocation. But that being said, it's just my opinion from my personal experience as far as where I ended up in the game.

5/5 - Li models
5/5 - animations
5/5 - Renders
5/5 - Sex Scenes
3/5 - Story
3/5 - MC, biggest complain here is weird face expressions
No music, no sound in sex scenes,

Overall great game, with a lot of variety Li's. Easy 5/5
Im looking forward for next update.

This game had a lot of potential and started out really good, but it went downhill the farther into the game it got. Before I get into anything else I just want to say that I will be talking about plot points and events from the game so there's a spoiler warning.

First, I want to name the positives in the game. The LIs all look hot, and I was especially into the mom and sister characters. In general, the way the MC interacts with the LIs, especially the sister, was really good and made me care about the actual relationship. There are, or should I say were, some interesting story points like working in the club that drew me in at the beginning and started off strong. I was really interested in the story and was not just looking for a quick fap.

Unfortunately, things started to go wrong with this game. It has always been one of my strong opinions that a MC can make or break a game. While the MC started off pretty good, he quickly became completely annoying and stupid. He is hypocritical and arrogant. The mom writes a book about her fantasy of being with her son and doesn't want the MC to read it. He does, of course, and in one conversation with her lies to her about reading the book and then scolds her for not telling the truth about looking for a job. When she is suspicious of him and asking him question he says shit like "forget about that and let's get to what's really important" just dismissing her privacy and focusing on her pleasing him. Earlier I mentioned that in general I like the interactions of the MC and the mom and sister, but there are some parts where it can drag on forever. The MC doesn't always have to be a sarcastic douchebag with every response. He also makes dumb decisions that make no sense.

Another negative is that there is not enough actual choices. There is barely any choice during the sex you do get to have like whether or not to cum inside. Also, there is a point where you have the option of choosing between two jobs, presumably changing how the MC acts kind of like a bad/good route. I chose the one that supposedly made the MC more dominant or rough. Again, another dev that puts in the choice and then half-asses the route. The MC still constantly asks for permission before and during sex, the one person he does get dominant with is only because she made the first move and made it clear that she likes it, and he never makes the first move on anybody. All the MC does while working at the club is bitch and moan about how crazy the whole situation is and is scared the whole time. There are a lot of long stretches of game where there are no choices and you might mistake this for a kinetic novel instead of an actual game.

Lastly, another usual dev mistake: confusing slow burn with dragging out the game or padding for length. The main draw in this game is the relationship with the mom and sister, and this dev has drawn this out too long. There are just too many instances where the mom just barely starts touching the MCs dick and that abruptly stops and says I can't do this. The dev also makes it so that anytime there is a chance for the MC to have an actual conversation with the mom or sister about their relationship it's delayed by the MC making some dumb bullshit joke and then the sister or mom responding in kind over and over until the conversation just ends. The crazy thing is that this happens even after there is a conversation between the MC and both the sister and mom where they acknowledge that they love each other more than family. I'm not saying that it should have jumped straight to sex after that but at least more than just finally getting a blowjob once from each of them by season 3 episode 4. It just gets really repetitive, tedious, and boring to have the same thing happen over and over where they start getting closer to progressing their relationship and then just stopping for some stupid reason. Again, there's a fine line between slow burn and padding for length, and at this point it's obvious that it's just padding. Also, just a personal opinions, but things like assjobs, thighjobs, and footjobs are just boring and a huge waste of time and another way for devs to pad the length.

When I started this game I was really into it and actually reading the story. As it dragged on I started fast clicking through some of the long repetitive conversations and unecessary parts (like every part that was just a long portion of the mom's book). Near the end I actually sat it so I could skip through the unseen text just to quickly get the gist of the story and see if it started improving at any point. I just wish that the game could have delivered on the potential it had at the beginning.

Everything is pretty good so far, wide range of people , high quality renders which are good made and the sex scenes are also hot. but again someone who thinks he writes on a hollywood blockbuster, there is lots and lots of boring and skippable content in here which the story does not profit from. would be better if he sticks to the important dialogues and skips the boring stuff. Therefore only 4 stars for this one.

but keep in mind its a slow burn which increases even more because of the boring smalltalk dialogues, which normaly should kept down to a few lines.

v3.4.1
Absolutely loving it so far. The renders are top tier and so are the animations. The story is interesting enough to make me slow down and actually read it. That said, the premise is pretty much your standard harem fare. Dad embroiled with some mysterious and nefarious figures. The pacing is slow enough to make the chase a little interesting but not so slow that it gets boring. Like many harem games, you can just collect all the scenes in one playthrough so there isn't much reason to replay it outside the career path which I dont find particularly exciting.

TLDR: Top tier game for fans of the genre. Can't wait for more.

I found this visual novel to be really beautiful and engaging. The models used for the characters are fascinating, the story interesting and never boring. The renders are well done, as are the animations. The only downside I found is that the story (already from the cover) is supposed to be about MC and the two women of the house, but it's progressing very slowly and it's a bit frustrating.

I use to really like this game, but the dev is dragging his feet on the 2 main girl characters. Over 2 years of development we are on season 3 episode 4 and the 2 characters on the main start up screen have still not had sex with the MC. Most of the story is about these 2 girls and the dev just likes to tease the relationship to the point where you just start loosing interest. After you start loosing interest in the main characters, then all the other characters start to mean nothing and goes from a good game to every other average game where the dev prioritizes patreon subs over a fun interesting game. This is the last time I am downloading this game.

Hot landlady. Bitchy flatmate. Lame landlord, alive for once. Hours of content. I-patch, nice and easy walkthrough. Top renders, smooth animations. Not-too-goofy MC, maledom dialogue where it counts. Plenty of extra candy. Fantasy-family fans, what are you waiting for?

I'm not all the way through but I felt like it deserved a review. I'm usually only interested in a main few characters, but No More Money has me interested in most or even all which is rare. Most of the time things aren't too over the top and believable (besides his job), though some dialogue can be cheesy. This VN has some quality relationship building too.
