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

[dolfe67]

Just a thought here, because I don't know if the developers have ever said that the competition will outline the entire timeline of the game, and if they have then please forgive my ignorance, but provided that no such statements have been made, what reason do we have to believe that the end of the competition will coincide with the end of the game?

Yes the dev said so. There'll be epilogues after the end of the competition for the aftermath.

There's considerable intrigue in regards to Van Doren and his exact relationship with the club, and his disposition towards Chuck for example, intrigue that is not (at least directly) tied to the competition and the outcomes for the various carnations. And then we have the issue of what happened to Darius, something this last update has been centered around, and it is not unreasonable to expect that Edwin and Ian discovering the fate of Darius will serve as an inflection point in the story, and in a bit of speculation on my part; it will most likely have something to do with gaining August's trust, since this last update has shown that he seems to prefer brute force methods as a method for solving problems, which implies that he is the one most likely responsible for the disappearance of Darius.

Those are paralell plots to the competition.

This makes it sound exactly like an NTR focused game. I appreciate the overview and warning friend.

Not to derail the discussion, but do you even know what NTR is??

Have you ever played an NTR focused game??

NTR comes down to your loved one being stolen (Normally by blackmail, rape, or some type of coercion, that ultimately leads to your love interest getting corrupted) by someone else.

In an NTR focused game, that would be the main theme of the game.

Please name a few NTR games that you played, that made you such an expert on NTR.

That's a classic case of labeling NTR everything that's not showing only MC's dick and girls craving for that magic meat and nothing else

So, um, who are the love interests of this game? i keep thinking i've figured it out but so far it seems to be Kathleen and Hana... I thought Rose was one and i thought the carnations might be but it's so far a bit confusing who's the most important to focus on.

The main 5 are Rosalind, Felicia, and Veronica (the three Carnations) plus Hana and Mina. Kathleen, imo, is halfway between a side LI and a main LI.

A lot of plot points and character progression to handle in a few weeks.I fear we wont get much time at all to enjoy the Edwin that is being built in a respective playthrough as he will largely stay as he is now until the ending. At this point id be ok with just a few more scenes where the MC isnt propositioned or obligated to have sex with women and actually pursues it of his own desire I think only Hana has a sex scene where this is the case.

 

[JackassJeff]

Now I have free time I reloaded an old save and decided to check out all the scenes I missed,yesterday I realised I didn't get the scene with Hana this update,So I went back to check it out,Is it locked out unless you go FB route or did I miss an option somewhere,I remember reading someone saying you can get the scene if u romance her or if ur just FB's. But im romancing her and didn't get it.

How to get a phone sex with Hana:

When you have made a phone call to Killian about listening bugs, Killian will ask you if you want to watch him having sex with Alice in bedroom. You should refuse and then make a call to Hana to instead.
There should be an option to say "I have other ways of spending sleepless nights". It will appear either if your relationship with Hana is high enough or if you fucked Mina.

I was romancing Hana and it worked fine.

Would you say Hana and Mina are not LI at the start of the game, because not in a relationship with the MC yet?

Because the 3 carnations are full main LI.

Considering your hostility, I don't think you're looking for a conversation, but I do want to make some clarifications for posterity sake and so people aren't misinformed.

The update took 4 months, not half a year.

0 content for 66% of the fans

All the dances took like a day or two to assemble. They're precanned, my dude. GIL has grown wonderfully as an animator, but he's not constructing an entire dance sequence.

The guy I "laughed at" was glib and rude. With the other post I quoted, which essentially said the same thing but in a more constructive way, I explained the reasoning behind our approach and thanked him for the feedback.

The Rosalind and the club bathroom scenes are economical, yes. We picked our battles there, deemed them minor scenes, but still nice enough to have - and personally, I think the club bj is GIL's best blowjob animation. Would I have liked them to be more comprehensive? Sure. I always do, but not every scene needs to be the 30+ animation slugfest that Hana, Mina, and Veronica (in this very update) got.

With that said, if you play the next one, I hope it's more to your liking.

This guy must have played a totally different update than I did. He obviously didn't see Veronica's content, which was fire I might add. You strictly stated in the changelog that the content would be different if you didn't give her a hug. You can't focus every update on the same character.
And the animations were anything but lazy. The animations were some of the best I've seen. GIL is a master at Studio Neo.

As a developer, I'm actually in awe that you two can put out this amount of quality content in 4 months. It would have taken me a lot longer. Most people don't understand the amount of time it takes to create quality scenes and custom animations.
Keep up the great work TD and GIL.

This update was great, Veronica has been growing on me and i loved everything about her in this update, the club scenes with the dance ( the dancing part was amazing ), their conversation outside, the kissing and the scenes after, everything was perfect.

The rest of the update and scenes were also really good, i can see myself playing this game multiples times with different routes and decisions after it's finished.

 

[Panzercat39]

wondering why i can not unlock the new Veronica scenes? I have two saves one where i am just a total bastard and one where i play the good guy,and neither allow me to ask Veronica out to dance,any help would be appreciated.

 

[Hengat]

The dancing animations are great. Absolutely phenomenal update for Veronica although I get the feeling sometimes that she sounds like a broken record.

Maybe you could help me? Not sure what is required to unlock the new scenes.

-Significant Veronica content dependent on having hugged her during exhibition 2.

Something to do with this maybe?

 

[starkj]

I think you need the hug and be her friend to be able to invite her to the bar.

 

[Elduriel]

Maybe you could help me? Not sure what is required to unlock the new scenes.

not sure if there is a minimum point limit as well as the friends variable that you need with her to unlock those scenes... either way just use URM and you can change the variable that way, no need for a new playthrough

If you have the option to select the [Friends] choice on the phone call with her, you have the prerequisites. Her saying no is a bit of a fake out, as she turns you down when you ask, but she'll change her mind later.

If you don't have that option, you need to hug her after the exhibition 2 spider scene, which requires 22 affection.

 

[Panzercat39]

Thanks all,I broke down and downloaded the gallery unlocker just to see the scenes i missed.Not something i like to do but it was worth it.

 

[kaas420]
