VN - Ren'Py - NSFW - A Porn Anthology [Ch.3] [Raw Magic]

Early days, but this has some real potential.

The game has an anthology structure, so it has an interesting mix of short stories and the option to play longer narratives. There's one longer narrative with story decisions that give you different endings.

It has solid renders and lewd animations and is good if you want to just get to the good stuff quick.

I'm hoping for some variety in the body types and have see recurring characters. Hoping the dev adds some interesting story settings to add some variety to it.

I was not expecting much from a porn anthology game and I thought I was gonna be in and out and give this a 2-3 star review. I was so wrong. Genuinely, I was blown away by everything. I can't wait to get into the pros and cons on this one.

Reviewing as of Ch.3

Pros:

• The models are amazing and high quality
• The scenes are animated and animated perfectly
• Elie's story is absolutely amazing and I got so invested in the story. You get a real feeling of satisfaction watching their relationship blossom.
• The MC for Elie's story can be a really nice guy that respects Elie's boundaries and personal space (make a couple wrong decisions and well...)
• There is weight to your choices in Elie's story
• Takes between 1-2 hours to complete
• You get bonus scenes for doing well on Elie's tests

Cons:

• MAN THE FIRST QUIZ IS HARD WHAT THE HELL LOL
• There is no gallery which is super unfortunate because I loved all of Elie's scenes, it sucks I have to use save files to go back.
• I didn't really care for the mini-chapters, I only cared about Elie's story.
• I wish there was some background music in the game

Conclusion:

Notice how my review was mostly about Elie's story (The Tutor). That's what really got me, not the mini-chapters which are cool in their own right, but I hope the developer does more of the main chapters like this one. I would kill for more Elie content but I'm happy where it ended and I'm dying to see what else this developer has in store for us. I rarely give out 5/5 stars but this one deserves it.

Unbiased Review of NSFW

Pros
-No Linear story snooze fest like summer's gone just short stories that get right into it.

-Finally some good animation on this site.

-Decent rate of development. Good dev.


Cons
- Models look bad. Just bad amatuerish designs like older women having the face of a doll.

- Dialogue just isn't cutting it, zero build up, zero tension.

- Way too short even by short story standards.

- Lewd scenes just feel soulless.

-No gallery

Overall it is the experience is bland. On patreon the dev says the goal is to make a AAA quality experience but not even the BADIK is there yet and somehow this was suppose to be the answer. I respect the ambition but there are levels to it.

The characters look like premade plastic sex dolls. Renders, which should be a strong point if you're doing a anthology series are mediocre at best. The concept and idea of this seems cool but execution isn't.

One of the best projects on this site and definitely my new favorite.

The art, animations and storyline particularly for chapter 3 were just chef's kiss. Very high replay-ability too.

Genuinely excited for whatever this dev puts out next.

This game may have the highest quality 3D renders and animations of any game I've played on this site. And deserves 5 stars for that alone. Dirty talk during the scenes is pretty good too especially during the tutor story finale, definitely hoping for more of that.

It's a kinetic game, anthology style meaning it contains several non-connected stories. The chapters and mini stories have decent enough stories and good writing. Obviously there is some porn logic in the story telling but the themes are mostly realistic scenarios.

The only improvements I would like to see is adding sound effects during the sex scenes and some background music wouldn't hurt either. Also the addition of a gallery would be perfect here as these fantastic animations should be able to be viewed on demand.

Great game, excellent character design. The details of the character anatomy are perfectly crafted. The plot has a decent start but definitely needs further development. Overall, the author's style is good, and it's nice to see something new.

This is one of the best games on the site.

Thes quality of the renders are just fabulous. Ellie's story line is just fabulous.

The dev is dedicated, we should all support him for creating such a great game.

Is the game good? YES. Do I recommend it? Absolutely.

I read some of the comments and reviews, and unfortunately, I'm going to have to go on a tangent before the actual review.

For the smoothbrains, please read the title of the game and then play it again. NSFW - A Porn Anthology. Some people have the misconception about this game being kinetic, having short stories with no "gameplay".

GOOD.

That's what it is, a series of short stories filled with erotic writing and visuals. It's like someone reading the Grimm's Fairy Tales and going, "Hold up, there's no overarching story? That's horrible!"

Unlike some people, I believe games like these have a place and are actually needed for the whole of H-Games. Earlier I put quotation marks on the word gameplay and I stand by them. Rarely does any form of "gameplay" improved an H-Game and you know something? The ones that do are all Japanese VNs and RPGMaker games. Sandbox, repetitive grinding for money and stats, puzzles and match 3s are not gameplay, and they never will be.

Now for the actual review: This game is pretty damn good. The title says it all - A Porn Anthology.

Short stories of pure smut. There's no need for a story, no need for plot, no need for a conflict, a climax or any kind of character development. This is essentially what a nukige is. For the people who don't know, nukiges are literally jerk off games. This game exists to tell a good story filled with sex for the sole purpose of getting us off. And get us off it does so that's already a positive.

The visuals are amazing, especially the animated scenes with Elie. The part where her belly was bouncing? Wow. I rarely see this kind of detail and I love it. I love her body too - she wasn't just some big boobed bimbo wearing glasses with an impossible bust-hip-waist ratio, she has meat on her bones which is why the detail of the belly was so good. Madison and Ann looked really great too but Elie is definitely the star so far.

The story? Again, just from reading the title of the game I already know that it won't be its strongest point and people will wonder why I'd still give the game a 5 star. That's because I've already categorized the game as a nukige. It's already a forgone conclusion that there isn't going to be much but with the whole story of The Tutor done? My expectations were subverted and I was happy it was. The story could've been something as plain as a student and teacher having some sexual tension between them which culminates into fucking each other's brains out but no, the characters had depth. Our MC goes through a character development through the choices we make even if it is a small one. Then the author providing the MC and Elie with their dreams and motivations was surprising for the kind of game I thought it was going to be.

Couple that with the dialogue, what do you get? An incredibly compelling story. How good was it? I never bothered skipping the dialogue between the MC and Elie. That's how good it is. They never prattled on each other, no they had a chemistry between them which is what leads to them becoming intimately close and that was something I could read off of how they spoke with each other.

There were little to no issues in regards to bugs and performance, the game plays like a dream and for the kind of game it's trying to be? It deserves nothing less than 5 stars.

My message to Raw Magic: Keep up the good work, you're doing something great and don't listen to the haters - I've read what they've posted on this thread and some of the reviews, they're dumb as rocks and they don't even know it. Next is the part where I gripe about the short story format because The Tutor was so well made that I want to see more of that MC and Elie.

High quality models, high quality animations. People may look at this game and think that it doesn't deserve a higher rating when there are so many other games out there that do a better job of storytelling, or actual gameplay (which the majority of these "games" are not really games, they're more so visual novels). But, I think that given enough time, this game or amalgamation of stories, can be truly great.

Everyone on this site is looking for the next game that they can fap to, no doubt about it, that's just what everyone here is set out to do. However, not everyone wants to spend hours going through the storyline of those games to get to the good bits, hence why people make mods for gallery unlocks and why sometimes the developers themselves just give you the whole gallery.

And I think that's where this game strikes a good balance. There are at this time 3 different small stories in the game, each with their own love interest. The stories are small for 2 of them but the 3rd most recent one is a bit bigger, albeit still small, around 30-40 minutes worth of gameplay. Many different scenes between the MC and the heroine. There is no gallery (so far), but at this time I don't think it needs one as the stories are short enough that you should be able to complete them in one sitting and see all the scenes you want, however, if the developer continues to produce more of these stories, there will come a point that a gallery for each of the characters would be nice, but that should be far in the future.

The storylines in the self contained stories so far are not anything crazy, they won't blow your mind, they're short stories for a reason. There is no character development for these characters either, as these stories are too short to do that.

If you're looking for a game with good character models and excellent scenes to fap to, but don't want to spend a long time looking through storyline in a game that takes way too long to get to what you really want to see, this is a pretty good choice.

I'll give it 4 stars for now, but if the developer continues in this same direction, with the same quality, and with small concise stories, enough for one sitting, I'd easily bump it to 5.

review based on CH3:

Seems the dev really took the reviews to his heart and reworked the game, It now really feels like a game and the story even feels way better.
I can't do other than changing my original review below up to 4 stars.

giving 2 stars, as there are worse games out there.
The good:
- really nice models, but that's it
The Cons:
- no story (all you see is: talk to a girl and fuck her)
- even the sex scenes are basic - nothing special
- the renders have no details and no depth - all you see is the MC and one girl, the rest is blurred. Simple basic renders/animations which lack experience and creativity (at least for now)
- there is no gameplay - aside some very limited choices during sex scenes it's a pure kinetic "something"
- can't even call it kinetic NOVEL, as there is no story behind at all - even the scenes themself don't make any sense.
- the only content so far are 2 scenes with 2 girls both containing one simple sex scene
- overall it feels for me as a first jump into a new business with big dreams but lack of experience (which might improve over time, but right now, dev should be happy with 2 stars - it might deserve only 1 if there weren't really worse)

TL/DR:
I can't call this a game. It's barely a tech demo of sex scenes, which aren't even made that well or perfect. Based on the great developers speach in OP i've expected much more. My feedback on what to improve: simply said EVERYTHING

Sidenote:
I usually don't rate games that early, but being mislead by the two 5 stars ratings, i am really disappointed. Seems that some people still don't get the meaning of a fair rating and simply use 5 star ratings to boost a game while they forget that 5 stars is the best possible rating at all. Seriously? if THIS is the best game ever, you clearly spit into the face of all really good developers out there.
Please don't compare this below-mediocre-tech-demo with other 5 star games - that's just a very bad joke to do so.

i cant say ive ever came back to a game, once i put it on my ignore list, yet here i am. and obviously im not the only one with similar hange of heart.

the dev didnt bitch about low ratings, instead he pushed hard to improve his game as much as possible. kudos to him for that.

in short, ch3 is way better than the initial release in almost every aspect.
the main story is polished and actually quite fun to play now.
a few points could be improved further though, such as some enforced kinks for example.

I liked the game, good rendering, great models, interesting characters, Animation is very good especially this one in chapter 2, environment is good, story and short could be even a little longer but ok, sex scenes happen very quickly in some It takes a century if it doesn't even happen

Developer is doing a great job with your project, good luck and keep it up.

v. Ch.2

Well rendered porn

• cool concept that ties the scenes together
• each chapter has a short and convincing intro before the sex
• not much content right now. chapters are short
• porn fully cinematic cgs
• no sound/music
• very nice lighting and textures
• hot female modelsof the voluptuous kind
  • but nipples of the unreal DAZ clay-pinch shape
• Ch.1 had some graphic issues:
  • boob sleeves on Ann
  • major clipping on pants of MC during animation
  • such a big ass on Ann required jiggle
• major improvements in Ch.2:
  • smooth natural physics
  • immersive cam shake

If the quality matches Ch.2 or better in future updates then this will be a great VN to dish out hot porn stories.
