VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch. 4 Up 4 Public] [Mutt & Jeff]

[AmerHST]

Since the carnations are basically prostituting themselves in a brothel I fully expect the carnations to be 'passed around' in week 3, 4. It would almost be strange if that did not happen given the subject matter of the game.

Well this is more confirmation that it ain't for me lol

I just saw the "romance" tag and wanted to asl but nothing about this sounds romantic lol

There are two other main girls though (the 2 you can see in the banner) and I think the romance can apply to them both. The blonde is in a relationship with your best friend in start of the game but he cheats on her and it is possible to get in a relationship with her. The black haired girl (in my opinion best girl) is a coworker and you have some really nice moments with her.

I am no fan of prostitution or humiliation. Many of the sex scenes so far do not do much for me because I dislike that kind of content. But even so I think this is among the best adult VNs I have played because of how well written it is. I suggest giving it a chance - try playing for an hour and if you still dont like it then drop the game.

I see so there is 2 more LIs that are not part of it or at least do not participate in it. I'm more of a vanilla type so this might be a bit too much for me but I've seen nothing praises for it so I think I'll give it a chance when the mood strikes. Thank you

I suppose if we want to get technical Kathleen probably has at least some stake in the MC's apartment. [...]

OMG Landlady Kathleen... Incest confirmed!

And since the MC explicitly recognizes that extending an offer of friendship would be an empty gesture in any case, it seems odd to me that it is gated by an affection score.[...]

I believe Edwin has a habit of downplaying his acts of kindness. He may think that was more or less pointless but i don't believe someone in Veronica's shoes, trying to get up and pick up the pieces after being humiliated like that in front of a crowd of rich scumbags, would find a shoulder to lean on a empty gesture.

EDIT: looks like .91 is out of date. I found another version (0.13) on the f95zone forums that seems to have done the trick.

(16) [Tool] - [Ren'Py] - UnRen v.0.11v3, UnRen v.0.12v3, UnRen v.0.13.v2+ UnRen Windowed | F95zone


*************************************************************

Anyone else running into Unren issues? I'm using version .91 and it says it can't find pythonw.exe.

As far as I can tell, nothing in the install flagged antivirus so it isn't that.

Also, when I look in the zip archive and compare it to the extracted folder, every file appears to be present too.

I did note that Pale Carnations uses Python 3.9 vs 2.7, so I'm wondering if Unren .91 doesn't recognize it for some reason.

but 0.13 still can't slove the problem, it can't extract the *.rpy.

Ah I can finally return to the thread after finishing the update. Always takes me a few days since I want to go into each scene fully recharged.

Great update as always!

I was pretty happy with my initial "blind" outcome. Managed to get a tie with Veronica getting the Photo-shoot point and Felicia winning over Kathleen. Looking forward to everyone doing the punishment game.

The competition scenes kinda went in the opposite order for me. I liked Veronica's the most once we got to the actual sex. Pushing Felish to her limits and seeing her embrace her inner slut at the edge of consciousness really drives home that she very much enjoys what the club is about. Rose's scene felt flat for me but that was mostly because my immediate instinct was to back out and after that I didn't really care how Ian abused Rose in the video. Going back and reading Chucks and Kaths dialog when Edwin does it only reinforced that feeling.

I had no problem reaching Veronica's friendship score but I did use the walkthrough in the early chapters. I'm way below for Rose though being on the "full deal" path. I wonder what that says about my way of playing Edwin. Being all friendly with Felish and Veronica but treating Rose very harsh despite her being arguably the most justified in participating in the contest. With not even necessarily the intention of following through with the deal. I guess he's being vindictive for Rose trying to play him while I'm mostly going for what probably nets me the best sex scenes.

Did anyone find any "hidden" scenes in the free roam part? In the earlier ones you could find some extras depending on the order you went about. Didn't find anything this time but I didn't invest much effort either.

still no walkthrough?

 

[lilnoxis]

any games with a similar artstyle? im kinda tired of normal 3d renders

I'm going through the last update. I am becoming more and more convinced that in the final act of the game there should be an option "burn this place to the ground along with the organizers". Dollhouse "Clouds" in Cyberpunk 2077, the same feeling of disgust.

Am I the only one that noticed that the Statue on the back of the stage is Azura from the Elder Scrolls it is the Statue in skyrim the only change is the color was changed to gold

Oh shit, Gil. Somebody noticed!

You're both very right about that. My thinking was Veronica would only accept it at a certain, but that doesn't really reflect in the way the choice is structured and presented. It would've been more logical if the player could make that choice regardless and potentially get rejected, which is how we've done some past decisions, but I think in this case I wanted it to be clear to someone playing blind that they missed a big moment in Veronica's story. Her rebuffing the MC, it being inline with her character, might've just seemed like something she'd always do.

I really appreciate your (and all the other replies before this I haven't quoted) perspectives on this.

Here's a question - Are we ever going to get a chance with Lucy? Or maybe a threesome with Lucy and Harper, depending on how we play the MC? I'm kind of interested to see where her character goes, with her steady corruption as a house girl and a married woman (who was/is happily married?). Do we get a hand in shaping the outcome? At this point, I'm guessing we help influence Hana's attitude toward the club and that she might have a corruption arc of sorts.

can i drag and drop the files in and keep playing from where i stopped? is this content near the end or near the middle/beginning?

It's a good point: without a walkthrough or multiple playthroughs it might not be clear that Veronica's affection tipped the balance.

I suppose you could have tried to split the difference by expanding the scene. Make the initial choices ("Try to comfort her."/"Just sit here, she doesn't need an awkward gesture of pity.") unrestricted. The latter obviously ends the scene. The former results in the MC trying to offer some moral support, only for Veronica to weakly tell him she doesn't need his help.

Now the MC gets three new choices: "[Affection] Comfort her."/"Try to comfort her anyway."/"Whatever, she's not worth it." The third choice again ends the scene. The first choice automatically succeeds, but requires a minimum affection. The second choice fails, but the dialog changes depending on how much Veronica likes the MC. If he's close to the trigger, Veronica at least seems a little less dejected (and maybe gives an Affection points if you think it's appropriate).

That probably would have been a better fit for the Affection system and still given players a good sense of where they stand with Veronica, but it may not have been worth the extra length.

Well this is more confirmation that it ain't for me lol

There's no reason you couldn't have romance in this sort of setting, it just wouldn't be a lighthearted one. Troubled romances (or even outright tragic ones) have been a thing pretty much since we invented storytelling. There are opportunities for romance with the various girls if you treat them affectionately, and as noted there are a couple girls who aren't directly involved in the contest.

The compelled prostitution is the setting for this game. Whether the MC embraces the implications of that setting or tries to push back against them depends on how we play him. That's enough for me to really enjoy the game, it may or may not be enough for you.

Did anyone find any "hidden" scenes in the free roam part? In the earlier ones you could find some extras depending on the order you went about. Didn't find anything this time but I didn't invest much effort either.

The only altered scene I noticed was the Pool.

Sure hope someone continues to make a walkthrough for the game. Specifically since i wanna know what goes on behind the game when we get those hana jealous or scenes with hana during the exhibition in update 4

 

[Dr Huge Vee]

The fix is a stand-alone download attached to the patreon post at the bottom. Just take that script file and overwrite the one in the version you have downloaded

Found and downloaded it! Thank you.

Plz upload that attachment

Where did I tell bullshit? I wrote that there " only officially (read legal) used torrent variants are safe." If you dowmload yout Linux or free stuff via torrent, that is ok.
But since F95 has a portion of stuff which is, let´s say liberated, using torrent for that is another thing. Here the up- and download rules apply and using torrent is counting as uploading too in such cases. And yes, standard download is quite relaxed and as I wrote, if you do not OVERDO it, then you will slip through. But when you get caught, then you are toast with a torrent and standard download you might get through..

I think I get what you mean. You download a torrent of Fedora Linux, and no one bats an eye because it's legit. You download a movie using torrent and you get the charge for copyright infringement, and on top of that you get the draconian hammer for using the big bad scary torrent protocol. Am I following correctly?

Mine is on its way, I started from scratch a few days ago and I'm close to the end of Ch3Update3 now, it's definitely one of the more challenging walkthrough to make but the game is worth playing so I'm enjoying every minute.

That is it in a very rough nutshell. It is not that torrent is so "scary", but it impacts the type of offence, if you get into the wheels of the law. Torrent makes it a step worse and that is feelable and not in a good way, when it comes to the judgement.
