RPGM - Completed - NTR Tavern [v2.00] [Mr.Vinegar]

I like bar/tavern games, so I was able to eventually enjoy this a bit, but it's not a very good game. The AI art is decent, and fairly consistent. The gameplay loop isn't done well, but it works. The pacing isn't great.
Beyond the gameplay loop there really isn't much there. There's no reason for you to make money, and there's no explanation of several hidden game mechanics, and the hidden 'suspicion' stat for the husband almost forces you to use a save editor if you want to even pretend the game has NTR in it.
There are many other games that do this exact game style much better, making this a pretty skippable title.

The AI art is decent, as in they are relatively consistent when compared to most AI art games that just slap together a bunch of pictures and call it a day. But that's pretty much the only good feature of this game at the moment. The minigames are way too long and unrewarding: the bar is your only source of income and stat increases off the start and forcing you to replay a minigame over and over and over again that, quite frankly wasn't very fun to begin with, is just tedious. If the bar minigame was actually enjoyable it would be a different matter, but it's literally just talk to patron, order drink, bring drink. Doing it once is fine, but after that you might as well add a fast forward option because 90% of the game is the minigames otherwise. Then we get to the brothel/dancer minigame. Again, not a particularly fun minigame, click the Os don't click the Xs, it's mindless and boring. And to add further insult, you are supposed to play that minigame for 5 minutes each time in order to succeed - that is INSANE. If i'm being forced to play a minigame for 5 minutes every time I want to advance the plot it better actually be an enjoyable experience.

Art: 4.5/5
Gameplay: 2/5 It gets a 2 instead of a 1 because they at least have been managing to fix the bugs related to gameplay as its been updated.
Story: 1/5 Unoriginal and unispiring. Husband and wife shows up, needs to pay off debt, wife whores herself out while the husband sits at home. Husband gives an ultimatum for her to stop, she refuses. Scene.


This game being considered complete is like calling two slices of plain bread a sandwich. It initially looks like it's got something going on, and then you get into it and you're just disappointed.

For it to be improved: minigames need to either be skippable or made into actually fun minigames. Story needs to be expanded on.

As it stands currently, the game is only worth it if you want to cheat the CGs. Don't bother playing it otherwise.

Overall:
Some good elements and decent dialogue especially as wife becomes more corrupt. Items to help reduce grind working at tavern. AI isn't slop though still not a fan.
TDLR:
A mid game with decent corruption but a lot of graphical errors that I think can be traced back to how the game was coded. After wife is corrupt enough the patrons at the bar don't seem to strip her frequently enough and even at full corruption she needs to be drunk to be nude.
The Good:
I'm a huge fan of the idea of corrupting the waitress. I've played all the games on this site with that aspect. AI art isn't terrible and there is a decent corruption pathway. As clunky of an order system there is for working the tavern shift there's no penalty for wrong orders or taking too long to reach a patron or even outright ignoring them. Ordering a specific drink is tied to whether the game thinks you have that drink in your inventory, I tried changing the values with the save editor and the game showed the correct number, and the wife could drink them, but the tavern shift would not allow me to serve them unless a order was placed, though I didn't need to pick the drink up just place the order.
The Bad:
The AI artwork doesn't change based on stage of clothing removal. Since an artist isn't being paid that should've been something do-able. All CGs are of males on wife, yet the character sprites show females. Having a female patron grope the wife would've been great for continuity and would've been unique for this genre.

The stripper mini game is hardly playable. It honestly feel like the dev used AI for coding it (and other sections of the game) because the images last past their visibility which makes winning neigh impossible. I only once got to the third stage and I had to skip clicking on the target images "O" because in the previous refresh there was an "X" there.

I couldn't avoid game overs from husband finding out unless I edited the save file at set that variable to -200 and after two or three days it was back up to 60. DO NOT go into the bedroom of the tavern if wife is still drunk; lost the character sprite and scene stayed at the bar. I had to restart from an old save.

From what I've played last time this 2.00 update is a nice improvement. If you plan to add more into the future I think it would be nice. The gameplay loop is simple but I enjoy it, the extra minigames makes it better and the dialogue is alright. There are some typos but that's ok. not all games are perfect. In the end though, Keep on updating and I'm sure this product will be more and more well polished, and enjoyable. I forgot To mention this earlier but some other things I'd like to see is a more expansions exhibitionism, Ways to increase Prostitution (its a bit slow imo) and more things to interact with as a whole. (Good stuff this though, This game aight)

The game is great so far, the art work is good and the corruption system changes are decent.
My suggestions would be to include different outfits (some locked or available through corruption and some bought etc), toys in the store, maybe include more cut ins for different corruption and fetish tiers. A storyline for the tavern would be great.

I like the concept, but it lacks development and content. I like that the character can be manipulated a little more each day, but it's disappointing that the only thing you unlock is a picture. I give it a 3 because I like the gameplay, but it could be much better.

The game has a lot of bugs, it is slow and repetitive in it´s gameplay.. it is also Inconsistent with the NTR theme because the husband just divorce at some point and the game just continues after the husband just had a few suspicions

I know NTR is a bad genre and all... But there is actually god NTR games out there, like NTR legend and stuff.

This one? This ain't it, chief.

SLOG gameplay, and thank freaking god you can cheese it.

So there are 4 stats for the girl:
Boob appeal, ass appeal, exhibition and prostitution, and all stats can go up to 100.
I always cheat while playing H-games to skip the grind to I just edited my variables to 100 for those four. If you play the game the way the dev intended it... You'd need to pray to the RNG god to get the chance to be molested, and it can be 1 of the three molest types, boobs, ass, ehibition.
"Why do you wanna grind the stats?" - Well, these stats represent her corruption. The more her boobs get molested, the more... corrupted she becomes and the scene changes slightly from her disapproving the molestation to enjoying it...

Yeah, this ain't it chief.
All this grind for what? A change in expression from an angry face to a slutty smile. No animation, no nothing.


Would NOT recommend and would never touch again.

Let's break down the pros and cons.

Pros:
-NTR

Cons:
-The husband is such a piece of garbage that the devs force you to divorce him which makes sense from a narrative perspective, but immediately releases any tension which is supposed to be what makes NTR exciting.
-The game is buggy to the point of breaking. The systems are built messily and in such a way that even getting the game itself working is more work than actually playing the game. Which is itself too much work and randomness.

I hope that the dev learns from this and either fixes it or does a better job next time. I can tell that there's good ideas hiding behind the poor execution. It just needs more polish.

Rev @ NTR Tavern [v1.5]

Effort low enough that the AI art is the best facet.

Art's fine if you're ok with AI. I am, and I like tits.

Writing is the bad. Scenario's a gassed-up version of a minigame from a million other better H-Games. The narrative doesn't exist, the characters are flat tropes, and even the coding is terribad.

Porn was fine until it crashed.

TLDR: Lazy.

Honestly is buggy as hell, first the code error and after you manage to fix the "getababy" error, the customers just don' t enter in the tavern. I hope that nobody buy this game, because is really made by a terrible ai and probably the game will even never going to be fixed. Right now you have no reason to play it.

Currently unplayable too many bugs. Like no customers showing or

Error getChildAt: Index (-1) does not exist.

Shame the art is not bad for Ai but it seems that developer is using it also to code.

This is absolutly unaccaptable for game you release to be sold.


Edit: Now that the game is in playable state i am changing my rating to 3 stars. The art is good thought the scenes lack variety. 'And the husband divorce triggers way too soon.

unplayable game due to many bugs in the game right after the first tutorial the customers who are important in this game and fill the main game are missing in the pub and they are not there and I tried the instructions on how to fix it and nothing works the game is supposedly complete it is unplayable right from the start

The game is completely broken. Both the Demo and the Final version.

The demo crashes if you open the menu while working.

The full game soft locks after day 2, spawning 0 guests making progress impossible. You can also hard lock if a scene starts as the day ends, ruining the save file.

Dont play until it is fixed.

[v2.0]
Alright, after terrible start the game got into playable state, I'd give it 3.5 stars, but since only full starts available, I'll go with good.

Game offers pretty good ai art, one of better loops for waitress job, one other minigame.

It still has bugs but personally didn't find anything game breaking, game is enjoyable for 2-3 hours.

Last thing to mention - it has NTR tag, if that's your only reason to play this for some reason, than bad luck here, I think it's here just to give the game some starting arch...
