VN Ren'Py Abandoned Offcuts [v0.3.1] [stencilbits]

[SSlayer]

I just downloaded v0.2 coming from version v0.15 finishing off with the start of Melissa route the switch. I can't continue onto v0.2 it only shows the Melissa - The switch and offcuts in black then the game ends am I doing something wrong ? or do I have to start from the beginning again ?

The girls have different routes so yeah you'll have to start again to see each girls story. There is only Nina and Melissa so far though.

Moderation in all things. The awkwardness is constant it just gets a bit much. It reached the point where i'm on Melissa's route and thinking if I was her i'd have punched him in the throat to shut him the fuck up. We've fucked, calm the fuck down with the bullshit.

I thought it was bad but tolerable and then she asked him to put on sunscreen, i've only just read that part and I dearly wish I could unread it. That is the most, and I hate using this word, cringe worthy scene i've ever read. That was awful, that was virgins first time seeing a naked women trying to put on sun screen with a cloth. They have been fucking for weeks at this point, why is it this bad?

Endings were spot on though. Great start of the stories, great endings just the awkwardness that lasted a bit too long for me. Meh, i'm nit picking, overall I really enjoyed it and Melissa's ending on the cruise more than made up for any annoyance I had earlier.

I mostly agree with you. It was very weird to have each scene like it is the first. The reason for it I think is...
the developer didn't know if that was indeed the first time. Remember, in all other choices you could have skipped the sex and say no.
As if we would be playing a porn game to have the MC say "no" when a girl starts masturbating naked on the bed or ask to give a handjob.
Even towards the end, Melissa goes on to say "I can't orgasm when masturbating". Ehh... YEAH, we know. You've told us several times and we rocked your world. Oh wait, perhaps 1 every 50 players has actually said no to sex while playing Melissa's route. So let's put it there as if Cole wasn't aware.
Or as if Melissa didn't know that Cole could get her there...

But this is my only complaint about this great game.

But this is my only complaint about this great game.

That's it. I did make a bigger deal out of it than it actually is but it just stood out to me because everything else was done so well.

I can't even think on how to change the bits I didn't like because, as you said, it needs to be there to cover peoples choices. The problem lies with me, I play a lot of romance VN's and a lot of those are Japanese and have very awkward male protagonists and after a while that trope started to annoy me so when I see awkwardness in an otherwise great story it just stands out even when it shouldn't.

It's not the writers fault, he's clearly doing something right when that's all I can complain about.

While I love the VN and find it great I have to say that it comes off a bit... lazy to not put flags and a little different discussion in case the protagonist has had sex with the girl.
It wouldn't be too hard. I mean, just 30 different sentences in the whole Melissa route would go a long way to make things better and keep the 4th wall intact. Come on! After we've rocked Melissa's world 3 times already she keeps saying how hard it is for her to cum and how we shouldn't worry about it?! Really?
And that scene you mentioned with the sunscreen. Or a couple of scenes with Nina.

4-5 different sentences in 5-6 scenes... it can't be too hard.

After i've played only the nina part so far, i decided to try the melissa part and i have to say i like it a lot too. The only thing that makes me sad on both paths is that it doesn't go loooooooooonger. I hope the other girls will also be available in the future with similar good stories. For me there are not many games that can keep up with offcuts.

And to the complainers: Yeah there might be some imperfect moments but the game is lovely.

I complete Melissa cgs... but i can't get all Nina cg... i get all the end i can... but i miss a lot of Nina cg in near all pages... D: get the nurse end, so there is some cg u can't get?

I've got all nina scenes in one playthrough, dunno what you did wrong.

Had to replay this after last Acting Lessons update. Melissa's arc is phenomenal, with just the right amount of humor and drama, plus it really ends up on a positive note.
One of the best romances I've seen realized in video games, imo.

I think Amy is going to have a good story. I'm not sure how the other girls will turn out but I am looking forward to Amy's. I did think Jane would get a route but after going through Mel and Nina's i'm not sure how that would work. It's a shame, she's a great character but looks set to be a side character forever.

I'm mad because I spent two days on this game getting through everything forgetting i was tryna get off and was so drawn in by the story.

I like that for the most part (with some exceptions of course) there aren't sex scenes out of obligation cause it's a sex game. My one only complaint is on the mel storylines where

I'm honestly interested in the stories of all girls mainly because nina's and melissa's were just awesome.

I think they will all be great but Amy was his childhood friend so I think it will have a lot of backstory about some of the other characters like Jane and what his life was like during his "thug teens" as it were.

I am a bit unsure how Helen will work but i'll wait and see.

This game is amazing, the amount of content for a 0.2 release is crazy. Really good story! Thanks so much for the work, I'll make sure to contribute as soon as I get the chance!

 

[troll822]

I bet with Amy there will be the option to get her and Nina together. Nina hints about that in her path. Well, doesn't hint about it, she goes on and says it.
Melissa would have heads rolling if Cole is fucking all girls except her. And two girls + quickies with Kate and naked Jane = very close to all girls.

Regardless, I don't think her story will top Melissa's. That would be a hell of an accomplishment. I expect it to be good, but I realize we can't have a story that good all the time.

Welcome to the club of "Awesome! But I have that ONE complaint..."

 

[Avaron1974]

This is the ultimate 9 out of 10 game.

Everything is absolutely fantastic but there is that one thing we all seem to find could be improved regardless of what that 1 thing is.

The truly bizarre thing is I don't think anything should be changed or it would lose it's charm. Take away the awkwardness from the MC in Mel's route that I didn't like after a while and we'd probably lose some scenes or scenes wouldn't make sense.

Regardless it's probably one of the better romance based stories on here. I can't say any game I enjoy is 10 out of 10, they all have at least 1 fault so I shouldn't complain really.

Sadly, I don't think there will be Jane's route. There is no Jane's gallery and she isn't even on cover pic, so...

She's not in any pictures advertising it either so it was all just wishful thinking on my part. It's not a problem, the other girls are all great, I just wanted to know more about her. It sounds like she has an interesting story.

 

[jvult]

Just finished my first playthrough - Melissa route - and was completely blown away. I did not expect to spend a good portion of my day mesmerized by this story. Fantastic work. And Melissa... wow.

Will try the Nina story, but how the hell could it compare? I felt like I was watching a movie at one point.

Amazing work. Again, like I've said about Acting Lessons, these VNs aren't supposed to be this good.

 

[takeshikovash]

Well done. Great dialogues. Good artwork, but more scenes would be appreciated.
n.b. pss pss... Melissa route is a great choice :extremelyhappy:
