VN Ren'Py Pale Carnations [Ch.4 Up.6 Public] [Mutt & Jeff]

Can't fuck a broad in peace especially with Elias out here dick gazing.

 

[onknight]

So I just finished the latest chapter and here are my thoughts.
It was a rather short build so I was a little disappointed in the length
But the story kept on track and when that bombshell went off it didn't disappoint
Looking forward to a longer chapter for the next one
At least I got to spend a little time with Hannah who's my favourite
But the introductory of a new female character was a little bit of a surprise
She's absolutely vicious I'd say almost a carbon copy of Kathleen

3.5* out of 5

Damn my Hana GF route only had 2 scenes LOL this is kinda brutal for someone who only plays a single route.
welp onto my next paythrough.
And also man kathleen was doing some scary ass expression in the last part. I cant wait to fuck up her plans ( if we can that is)

when she makes a face that crazy it seems like the natural course is to have her plans blow up in her face. Either Felicia or Elias (or both) aren't gonna react the way she intends, I can feel it.

 

[Silver2301]

last scene ? what's scene?

I meant the role playing scene in the previous update where she role plays as a slut or something.

AFAIR not really, it's just some dialogue variations, it's something like assertiveness but doesn't really impact flags whatsoever. Mainly for flavor so far.

Toughness is a slight mislead. What it actually is, is your Asshole score. How big of an asshole you are. How much you just like to be a demanding and insufferable prick. Well, not that bad, but a higher toughness can make Edwin come off as more of a jerk or sadist; authoritative in a way. With a higher score, Edwin is more likely to use derogatory language during sex, like calling women "Bitch", and "whore", and sometimes even act colder in response to things he witnesses. With a low toughness he becomes more careful and "nice", and some paths require toughness to be above or below a certain threshold.

Listen, you've been part of part of the discussions in this thread for a long time now and I take what you said for what it is: honest criticism. I appreciate that, even if I push back partly out of defensiveness and partly to process the criticism leveled. I look forward to releases because I enjoy seeing the thread active again and, to be honest, that includes this kind of back and forth - but I get it's impossible to have a conversation when 4 or 5 people are quoting you.

Still, thank you for taking the time to voice your thoughts. It wasn't merely just "update small" or "I'm disappointed", there was consideration behind them.

As for my Hana defense, I was hoping her (rapid) acceptance of the place would portend what's to come. Stuff like quickly coming around on the Kimber thing, her becoming more friendly with August, and even her not outright rejecting Kat. Then there's the exhibition, of which is the big TBD.

To go back to an earlier suggestion you made, we actually did consider having Edwin and Hana interrupted during the photo shoot, but I shelved that complication. So, good instincts, but the way I saw it, it amounted to a "get out of here" or an "oops, sorry" as it's not like any of the patrons would have anything on Hana or Edwin for fucking around - or any reason to make a big deal out of it. It is, perhaps, a wasted opportunity for a small character moment though.

Responses like this are one of the reasons (aside from your work, which speaks for itself) that I know you care a lot about your writing. Your willingness to engage openly and honestly in this thread is really cool, and I appreciate how respectful and humble you are, even when people criticize (legit criticism I mean, rather than just UPDATE SHORT AND BAD GROG NOT LIKE). As a fellow writer, I always like to see glimpses into other people's process and thinking, especially when I can also enjoy the finished product.

You are, in short, a classy motherfucker. Thank you for being chill, and thank you for sharing your work with us.

EDIT: You too, GIL3D. I see you reacting down there.

What kind of NTR?

 

[GamingSavant]

After finally approaching this half-update through different angles and variables, I feel I can give my genuine opinion on it.

Long story short: Love it. The focus on side-girls as is present with every Exhibition Night is there, you got really lovey-dovey content with Hana GF path with getting to meet her mom, you got Mina content pushing their relationship further along, and you got character build-up for Sophia, and a new girl with Allison, a previous Carnation. I know people were excited about Sophia's sex scene (and it was hot), but IMO Allison's trumps it in so many ways both in length and in how you can approach it by showing Edwin's true character, being either rough with her or easing her into it to show he's more honest and focused on mutual pleasure compared to previous experiences she had.

Then there's just Elias and you get to see a different side to him, one that is behind the "arrogant narcissistic nepo-baby" character he gave off, showing a more humane and even more considerate side to him.

And then right as the big reveal happens at the end, the mask he was letting slip off goes right back on and he becomes the cold uncaring husband again right at the end.

The comment he makes at the end too: "You better win, Felicia." sounded intentionally loaded. Was the statement supposed to mean "You better not embarrass me by losing", or was it "You better win because if you don't, your ass is on the curb"? Guess time will tell.

EDIT: also since it just came back into my mind, the comment Brandy (Hana's mom) made about Edwin's short, clean nails after that scene was DIABOLICAL. I was laughing my ass off.

I think this game needs a new season to reduce its file size, it is complicated to download a file with more than 3 gigabytes with a server that has a daily limit to download files.

Nah, all you need for that is compressors. Unless it's commented in the first post, usually you have to look through the thread to find it, but typically you'll have someone who will go out of their way to compress an archive for the sake of those with lower download speeds.

Did anyone else get a trojan warning from Windows Defender all of a sudden?

Yesterday I downloaded the game from the Buzzheavier link, scanned it like I always do, and WD didn't detect anything. I unzipped it, scanned it again and still nothing. Pretty standard, I do this to all the games I download from here and none of them ever gave me a warning.
But as I tried to open the game today, I found the .exe files were missing, followed by a WD notification about a trojan risk. I uninstalled everything, came here and downloaded from Datanodes. But when I scanned the files it gave me a notification right away. Same thing happened when I downloaded from Pixeldrain.

Is there an explanation for this? I downloaded some 50+ games from here and never got a warning about any type of virus, much less AFTER I unzipped everything and played it normally. That's why I can't just brush it off as a classic Windows Defender false positive and came here looking for some sort of explanation.

There is a simple trick: reset your IP address after you reach the limit.
Depending on your router, a simple router reset is often sufficient.

If you have a free MEGA account, the limit is 5 GB, and after resetting the router, the download will continue as normal.

It is a Windows Defender thing, I don't know why they mark it as Trojan but if you are suspicious check it with another antivirus or online, they all show it as safe:



I don't think its from the download source, as I had Windows Defender flag the exes from Buzzheavier, Vikingfile and Datanodes.

That's right. Devs are milking and Pale Carnations will never be finished. So, my recommendation for you is...
