VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch.4 Up.5 Public] [Mutt & Jeff]

[housekinokuni1974]

Finally begin my adventure, clearly this game is made by people who love what they do you can see the level of details right from the start.
Cant really say for the story as im in early stage and the thematic is clearly not for everyone, but once again this prod has really a distinct style and you see is well detailed

 

[TD1900]

I guess we now know why the PC has a certain twisted way with women. Not in addition to his obsession with his mom's porno career but directly because of it!

The Kat scene was... novel. I hope the devs reconsider locking it behind a choice so far back into the plot. Grandma let me force-facefuck her last time. Now she won't do messed up sex with me cus I didn't visit her that one time? Likewise for Felicia: proactively rimming me last update but now a mouth kiss is beneath her cus we're just friends. Yes my choices are ruthlessly slutmaxxed but sluts need some love too. C'mon maine!

Kat's scene is tied to Edwin spilling his guts and the resultant set up from that, not some sudden inhibition on her part. It makes sense where it is and was telegraphed as being a future scene a few updates ago.

The Felicia thing is just some trite Pretty Woman shit that I enjoy. I'll accept the eye rolls there.

Love the glibness you bring to every update, dude. See you next one.

Damn, my save file isn't working, I might have to start over again, urgh.

 

[DrunkHamster]

I was replaying game for 5th times to get different saves (Rosalind full deal, because in my all other saves she is friend or main interest, now I angry with her) and found this. Is this The Judge from Ace Attorney? Husband of Kathleen. Final update will be battle in court xD Also game is full of details. Even when reread game you always found something new like mention of italian classic cinema Suspiria.

 

[Meiri]

I loved this chapter, the story has progressed a lot, I don't think it was shorter than previous updates but the ending left me wanting much more.
Did Victoria find out from Ian's mom everything about what we are doing in and that's why she tried to reveal us about her past? Because I thought her discovering everything was going to blow up in our face but we seem pretty chill.

 

[dogbert730]

calling a whore a "whore" is nothing bad in my eyes.

What you say is almost always overwritten by how you say it. Grace is a cunt for how she said it. She was using it pejoratively, using it as a weapon to get Vicky to do what she wanted.

And I'd agree with Turret about the Grace vs August comparison. August is a POS but he wanted to have a relationship with Hana. He's been fighting for it the entire game, and has made actual compromises (as far as we know) to forge it. Meanwhile grace offloaded her parenting responsibilities onto the nanny, and wouldn't even be doing any of this if Ian was already enrolled in school. Plus it's obvious in the Grace/Vicky convo that Grace is only doing this for the appearance of him being successful, as seen by all her snide comments about him doing something he actually enjoys (AKA vs him being happy). Classic narcissistic parent behavior. She's not in control anymore, so now she's all involved and "You know I love you" blah blah bullshit.

One of the funniest pics in the whole game! Kudos to GIL for hitting the expressions exactly right here:

I can understand "coldest" or "most loathable" (since it's subjective anyway) but selfish? Nope. And "Even August beats Grace as a parent easily" is just ridiculous.(...)Blackmail is bad obviously but she's done it with good intentions in mind...

Sorry but you are on the woodway here, Grace is one of the most selfish persons in the game! TD has been hinting at it with fencepoles that Ian adores history and his deepest work related dream is being a teacher or professor of History. Both Edwin and Viktoria rell this to Grace. But no, being a teacher or professor is not good enough for Grace Beaumont´s little boy. She "knows" better! When all she ever did parentalwise is pushing him out 22 years ago. Alice and Vicki were the moms he never had at home.
And August is a better parent than Grace, not that the bar is high when it comes to her. August is who he is, but unlike Grace who seems to think of Ian as a status symbol to show off, August fights for a relationship with Hana. It is quite obvious he cares about her, even if he is a latecomer at the "parent party". He might blunder quite a lot, for several reasons, but he is fighting for Hana and they also can reach compromises as we have seen.
Another very telling thing: August has a picture of Hana drumming at a concert in his office close by. In Ian´s home, you won´t find even a posed picture of him somewhere close to his Mom or Dad, not speaking about a picture with Ian having fun.

Try changing renderer to OpenGL (Shift+G)

Hey thanks, this actually worked. Although it only worked with software renderer. Directx or Opengl didn't help. Switched back to auto after the Vicky scene.

 

[Jah-Ith-Ber]

So Victoria doesn't know August it seems but she has seen Chucks sadistic side? Please tell me that dream of her being drilled on the couch wasn't Dr Chuck though it would be interesting because that would certainly be the thing to separate Edwin from Chuck and really make him want to burn down the club.

Did Victoria find out from Ian's mom everything about what we are doing in and that's why she tried to reveal us about her past? Because I thought her discovering everything was going to blow up in our face but we seem pretty chill.

I don't think so I think Ians mom was just blackmailing her with the threat of telling Edwin and Ian about her porn career and she already knows she won't cave to blackmail because she wouldn't betray Ian like that so she is pre-emptively telling them so Claire won't have power over her anymore.

 

[TD1900]

Interesting. That (any of the render options) didn't work for the two reports on our discord, but I'm glad it worked for you.

 

[eromaster]

Thank you loooord! I an't even a Christian but thank jesus!

EDIT: Thanks for the Victoria content, it's a real treat! And the drama is great! So now Killian can know her past, I wonder what this changes?
Can't wait for the next update!

TD1900 One suggestion I have is some of the thoughts l feel too mean during dinner and a little before. Like when he says she will be gone, hopefully, in the park, thinking she is bent to his will and will do whatever she wants, while eating food, thinking Rosalind is stupid for taking his suggestions seriously(If I read this one right.)etc. For some other instances.

I just think some slight changes to nicer dialogue(more romantic) if you accepted deal, but not full deal. Just didn't like the harsh thoughts for a romantic scene and dinner when I have been nice to her the whole time.l, felt off.

Finally, when we were talking about school, we mention what was she like in high school ,then jokes around, before Rosalind reveals something to us, it was when standing up, it was an awkward transition in the dialogue, that might need some editing or small changes, cause it felt weird.

Haven't played day 2 of update yet, but am excited to see what happens, and I will probably sign up for the $7 or $12 this weekend to give you guys some support even though I played leaked version. Hope you take my suggestions above to heart.

BEST UPDATE OF THE YEAR
absolutely amazing
i just played eternum's update it was good too
but for me this update tops it
there is alot of sex in the game but the romance scenes with fel, rose and veronica in the last three updates including this one truly shows the diferance between sex and making love

 

[Takkatakka]

Man, these small "mini" animations screw with my mind.

Like "Wait, did that character just blink for real or did I imagine it?!"

Just one person't two cents, but i didn't get a reading like this of these scenes at all. The part about being gone was just a matter-of-fact and the "hopeful" part more for Rose's comfort sake than anything, the doing everything Edwin wants was more like uncomfortable realization for Edwin, in a sense that he regrets it doesn't allow him get to know the "real" Rose but he recognizes he can't do anything about it, and the observations about Rose taking the conversation seriously was just surprise, with none of that thinking she's stupid for doing that.

So... i don't know, i don't feel like it needs any changes, really. It can be nice already as it is, and the tone is largely in the player's mind, evidently?

I'm kinda stuck on Rosalind's path at apartment. In the morning

Did i do something wrong?
UPD: found your earlier reply, TD1900! Thanks!

 

[Meiri]

Also want to commend Ian on the introspective path, the guy has grown a lot hopefully the Victoria reveal at the end we choose to tell him doesn't bring him back.

 

[marcodelamoret]

Hello,
Thank you very much for the update.
Too excited.

Well, I guess that is your view which isn't wrong, but to me it reads bad and mean to me, which isn't my favorite, especially when I am trying to be romantic.

I get and understand your point, I just don't see it from my end unfortunately.

Really agree, esp the last point. The Felicia scene in the previous updates in particular was just yeah, like fuck these guys have some real insight into sex and women. SO many AVN's I think to myself "has this writer's exp come from watching anime?". I'm blown away by the quality of PC, and every time I play it I find it hard to enjoy any other AVN afterwards for some time.
