VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.6.0] [JDOR]

[Rehwyn]

She allowed herself to be eaten out by some rando waiter in a restaurant the first (and only?) time they met, during the MC's birthday celebration. She's not exactly "difficult" or "chaste", so it honestly could happen at any point the author wants it to. Especially now that the MC is a little more all around confident.

I feel it might be more of a technical problem (cause making renders take time) than a writing one that requires the right elements and circumstances to allow for the event to happen

There's a difference between casual oral sex with a stranger and crossing that threshold with your live-in not-son in terms of significance. I can easily see her being comfortable with the first and not the other; or at least not yet.

There's also a high probability that Parker's connection to MC, his parents, or his powers is more than it seems at first glance, and a possibility that some factors not yet revealed there would prevent her from being comfortable with it.

As far as a technical limitation, there's very likely nothing that would make Parker significantly more difficult to render than any other LI. If there is a limitation, it'd just be overall pacing, both from not being able to rending all 15k+ renders for a whole story in a single update and from a storytelling standpoint.

Perfection should be easier to render.......

Disagree with you in regards to the difference between intimate actions because for me intimate actions are intimate actions - no matter the manner that it's executed (who's licking what or inserting what and where). Parker has no regards to intimacy and seems to see it strictly as a physical thing, a stress reliever of sorts, no different from "going for a jog with a friend".

But I agree with everything else, including the intricate link she has with the MC and his parents. Still think it wouldn't be any big hurdle for her to jump the MC's bones at any point though, seeing how comfortable she is doing it with seemly anyone that even vaguely catches her fancy.

There's nothing really stopping them from getting it on atm, but there's also nothing encouraging them, story-wise as I've seen it (other then the MC's fantasies since forever). It's much more likely that Amber is getting her time in the sun soon - that's the direction things seem to be going in now. I'd also like Marina to be in the cards soon, cause getting her power would be just awesome

 

[AgnorWolf]

Fuck yes with Evelyn's power. Please do more with this.

A couple games I've played teased the gender stuff early and then never did it again in the entire game (Betrayed, Savior), so please don't fuck with me like those games did.

Yeahhh that's not how her powers work. There's no gender transformation. He's just experiencing what someones day is going to look like and it's like super advanced vr porn where you can also feel everything. Its not the MC that's having the sex it's just extreme voyeurism.

To be clear, I was emphasizing the who and not the what. Do you really view sexual activity with a stranger you'll likely never see again as being no more significant an emotional obstacle than with your not-son that you live with, have known for years, and will see frequently in the future? What if MC were her actual son? Do you really think she'd feel just as casually about that?

If so, I'd say that's very far from the mainstream in terms of how most people would view it. Most people are influenced by not just what you do but also who you do it with, even people with a rather open and casual view on sex in general.

No matter what their current motives, I agree that the events impacting MC have not provided much opportunity from a storytelling standpoint. Regarding the point in your spoiler, it certainly seems that

I 100% agree that there's more to MC's powers than just his ability to absorb other's powers. It would not surprise me in the least if there were subtle aspects of his power that made him more attractive, more sexually pleasurable and intuitively "experienced", and other similar factors since being desirable and good at sex would be directly complementary to his main power. For example, Emerald in particular found it hard to believe he was a virgin the day before due to his apparently confidence and intuitive understanding of what she'd like.

Is there any android port?

I see you put different weights to actions, with the who being far more important than the what, if I understood it correctly.

I'm different in that I see sexual activity of any kind as something you'd only do with someone with whom you share at least some level of a deeper connection, not something to be done casually, so "sexual activity with a stranger I'll likely never see again" is completely out of the question.

So the what by itself has a lot of weight to it for me and would only be done with very specific (and limited) who's. They'd always be linked instead of being distinct and evaluated on their own.

With that said, this being a very American Pie-esque porn game makes it all whatever. Just enjoy the ride.

 

[Lathe29]

just wanna ask if MC is a weak and wimpy or not

Yeah, pretty sure the MC is based on you.

I'm not trying to explain my perspective on sex, but what appears to be hers. After all, it's her perspective on sex that would influence her actions, not my own.

Both the what and the who are factors for most people, as are the likely consequences. However, she's clearly comfortable with casual sex in general so the "what" is of diminished significance for her personally.

The difference in perspective seems to be that whereas you say you only would consider sex if a deeper connection exists, she's the opposite from what we've seen so far. It's easier for her to have sex without that connection because there's no lingering changes in her existing personal relationships and there's no existing connection that would amp up the emotional attachment. It's scratching an itch and moving on.

But if she has sex with MC, it'll be much more than just scratching an itch because of their existing connection and there wouldn't be any simply moving on. If she has a hesitancy to get with MC, it's likely not due to the sex act itself (the "what") but instead because of who he is in connection to her (the "who") and how it'd irreversibly alter their relationship going forward (the "consequences").

Edit: I just wanted to add that one thing that makes OS so enjoyable to me is that, much like in real life, the LIs have different perspectives and comfort levels with sex. There's people like Moonsong and Parker who are clearly sexually open and experienced that are quick to get in the sack, and there's people like Ruth (who have been with only 1 other guy and only after a lengthy and romantic courtship) and Coldsnap (who is still a virgin). And as the harem forms, there's going to be LIs that are open to the idea and ones that aren't.

To me, that makes it way more believable and interesting than if all of the LIs were either chaste or promiscuous with barely any variety.

BUG REPORT!

Well, not a "Bug" bug, but after fucking Evelyn, your projection appears, when he's in shot, Evelyn is stood up, but talking to you she's back on the bed, dunno if it's a misnamed picture call, or just something you forgot, but yeah, she's up and down off the bed fairly quick. lol.

EDIT:
Also, is your door supposed to close when you're cuddling afterwards?

 

[bobobarbarian]

This is turning into one of my current favorite games. Good story, good pacing, good renders, and pretty good length of update.

 

[Skylaroo]

As for her suddenly much more forward personality, I can easily believe her when she says this is how she's felt and thought for a long time but was too afraid to show. Previously, she could be passive and keep her hornier side hidden because she believed she could just wait until her birthday and get what she wanted by default. But now it's clear she's going to have a lot of competition and fast, so she can't just keep things hidden, stay passive, and expect for MC to eventually be hers by default anymore. She might actually have felt compelled to dial things up to higher than she normally would in order to make up for lost time and she'll even out a bit once she feels confident MC is going to be with her (though I fully expect her to remain very horny and unafraid to share it). And while she's only had sex 1-2 times in real life, I guarantee she's heard way more kinky language in her mind over the past two years. It's also consistent with a recurring theme in the game of women actually having sexual thoughts and desires too.

It's a much simpler explanation than mind control or something with a lot fewer assumptions.

Edit: Also, keep in mind that jacq lives in Germany I believe. So if you live in a culture that's much less sexually open, what is within the range of normal for him might seem extreme for you.

Your explanation makes complete sense. But it's not necessarily about being sexually open or not, I just personally find it bizarre and a bit off-putting to have a character switch personalities so quick and pretty much without proper in-game explanation about the change. I think the talk with Marina reading Evelyn's mind is an attempt to legitimize the change by saying it really is her fantasy to be wild in bed, but it felt out of place and somewhat tacked on after the fact because there was nothing else about it.

The Evelyn in previous chapters doesn't feel the same as the current/future Evelyn because of the abrupt change. Your idea of "this is how she's felt and thought for a long time but was too afraid to show." would've been great if done correctly by adding things like Fraser or Amber making comments about it such as "Oh you're finally acting on it" to imply that it was something that Evelyn had told them before (therefore solidifying that it was how she had felt all along). But we don't get anything like that in the game so far.

 

[e6mill]

But we don't get anything like that in the game so far.

Yes there was. Go look at the memories on your bedroom wall and pay attention when Amber talks to you on your bed before you kiss her. Might try whichever of do or don't turn Moonsong down that you didn't already do also.

 

[Elhemeer]

EDIT:
Also, is your door supposed to close when you're cuddling afterwards?

Considering one of your friends, I suspect that's not a bug ...

 

[Adequately Caffeinated]

EDIT:

If you watch the door in the early parts of the scene you can see it open and close as well. It's 100% Amber coming in and out. Or the MC has another invisible stalker.

 

[Skylaroo]

Could you please elaborate what you meant? I'm referring to the change in behavior to become a horndog, not just the fact that she had crush on him.

 

[Jacowboy]

As for why, her projections seem to be different from Cat's. There's no reason all projections have to work the same.

Personally, I think it's because Cat's are a very real replica of herself, whereas Isabelle's are a replica of anyone. Even if Isabella chooses to project herself, it seems like it might be "less real" and not carry her metagen.

Edit: A while back, I said this regarding Isabella, Cat, and testing how that worked:

I mean, the obvious answer is that it was the REAL Cat in the bathroom stall and the clone outside... I mean, maybe she just switches from time to time without telling people 'cause that's her kink.

 

[UnoriginalUserName]

Except if memory serves she's a virgin with an intact hymen, so that isn't possible.
