VN Ren'Py Phone Story [v0.83] [Taptus]

[SupppDude]

I have played V0.7 and im very dissapointed ): (from my point of view)

I loved the course of the game till Version 0.6 so I was really expecting something cooler than this "easy-chat" in the beach where nothing really "cool" happen, with so few content.
Trying not to spoiler, the end its abolutely non-consistent, thats not the kind of stuff you randomly do on a beach, feels like "dude, why are you doing that?" "what kind of beach is that??"

So, to summarize my op:

Things that i like:
- Parallel conversations she have with her best friend and her gym trainer are VERY cool (keep those, get more in deep, even add new characters).
- The general aesthetic of the images and the story path itself.

Things that i dont like:
- In v0.7 images in the beach with the guys are... weird? forced? cheap? They remind me of my first steps designing, where i copy paste stuff in a landscape context with no sense at all.
- I dont feel NTR/NTS/Love path... Its like there are 2 ways "weird-consent-cheating" (NTS?) and loyal path. There is not really a full NTR path where MC is actually NOT consenting the situation but is witnessing it.

As a conclusión. Please, take a rest, think about what you would like to see and dont run. You were doing a good job, i was in fact about to pay for it. But glad i didnt do with this kind of updates.
You were doing it cool, go for it! (i would like to encourage you to refactor that ending nonsense beach scenes).

From testing perspective:
-I detect some images send by her to the trainer are like if he send them.

I actually quite liked the beach scene, especially on the high freedom route with Lisa holding the guy's cock at the nude beach, nice and spicy

I'm quite pleased with the 0.7x update.
It's always hard to update 3 paths simultaneously which is the reason the new content seems small. That's not the case when playing all paths.

I agree to some folks here, that the requirements to get all 3 paths are quite hard but not impossible.

NTR/Cheating is still part of the game, the messages Lisa sends to Karl and Sam are in my opionion cheating, especially when she sends nudes to Sam.
Keep in mind, we only know about them because her phone is hacked.

So for now i would call the NTR path, NTS path with NTR/cheating elements, because at the end of the day MC wants to share his wife.

On the Lovers/Loyal path, i hope we can get rid of Kira soon. I like her in the NTS/NTR paths but on the other one, she feels completely out of place, with her pushing for more and more, while MC tries to tell her off.

Taptus : Keep up the good work and don't forget to releasee the full game on GoG/itch.io etc. (Steam is a hassle with porn games in Germany)

Lol, what an ambiguous way to measure word count. It's like asking:
- Dude, how much you played this game?
- Oh, idk, about 493178 seconds.

I mean, it's still many, but, in my opinion, counting in words would be more convenient. Not making it a show-off.
There are many tools if you need to count words in your script, such as Microsoft Word, even without a subscription.

It also reminded me of a way Apple presented its iPhone 16e with 48 MP camera and USB-C port, painting them as a seller feature, which are far beyond of industry standard.

Hello, thank you for your opinion, I will think about it.

Hello! Thank you for your extensive feedback. I will think about your suggestion and how to make the game better.

Hello, thank you for the detailed feedback! I think after version 0.9 I will make a new numbering of the game and release each add-on as a separate branch. So that the entire add-on would be, for example, about the NTR branch

I agree with you that the content is not visible due to the separation of paths, but against this background there is a big minus, in the Love path, compared to the NTR/NTS path, there is practically zero content (v 0.72)!

Regarding the points and that it is possible to do this, i do not agree. Why can't i choose my own options in the Love path?
I don't have enough points, and quite a few, and i'm on the path of love i don't make "bad" choices, but sometimes when choosing there is no opportunity to gain love points, for example, sometimes you come across a choice that these points simply don’t give you love points!

options A: -minus love points
option B: +plus lust points
option C: +plus freedom points

there is either a mistake in the first case it should be a +plus and not a -minus or i dont know. I won't replay 10 times from the very beginning! This bar should be lowered! It's like the picture where the wife spreads her legs in Karl's car - to unlock it you need 150 freedom points! That is, you can’t make a mistake at all to achieve this value! And considering the example above, or in this case the dev simply needs to make indicators for choosing different colors like traffic lights:
- Green Love
- Yellow NTS
- Red NTR
then you won't have to read into the +- points, it will be easier visually.

But let's get back to the content.
Before this update, content was in all paths, Karl was everywhere, the coach was everywhere, etc. Here in the Love path is simply nothing, there is nothing in it, but what will happen next?
Will only NTS/NTR path develop?
What to expect from the Love path? Hi, hi. I love you, I love you too. bye?
If there is a HJ in the NTR path then i want to see something in a Love path to!
Wife and Kira have a stormy past at the uni, so at least Kira sends old photos where wife, for example, sucks off a football team or something like that.

I agree with the you words that a lot of work has been done, because there are three paths in the game, but i play the Love path first and there is nothing in it! And in this case i agree with those who is disappointed, because we waited for month and received nothing!

Hello, very large and detailed feedback, thank you for the time and effort to write it I will actively develop the Path of Love after version 0.9, but in version 0.9 itself there will be some unique content for this path.I plan to make a separate update for each path.

That is, each route after 0.9 will go out once every three months?

 

[Taptus]

So far yes, I think so, but I don't have the right solution. On the one hand, one addition for all three branches, but I will be scolded for not having enough content for them, On the other side there is a lot of content for each branch, but once every three months

You can't please everyone anyway, so i'd go with what your supporters favor.
At the end of the day, they are your paying customers.

It's up to you, but in that case you'll have to make "really good" content, because people will wait for the path that they play for three months (pirates 4).

 

[Aqua Orchid]

Hello, thank you for your opinion. Tell me what errors or bugs you found in the game?

1. KiraSarch turns from false to true somewhere mid game
2. The bikini pics are mismatched to the pics with Lisa and the surrounding men (i.e. choosing white bikini shows pic with black bikini in that photo)
3. unbalanced changes to paths like other discussed
4. if BOB is True you don't see Lisa's chat, should be other way around
5. there are checks if Adamwantbeach and Lisawantbeach even if both are false and adam and lisa didnt discuss going to the beach
i played around with URM to get everything to work, maybe it's just me

 

[gazlene]

is Kira ever going to stop telling me to "have the real talk with her" when I repeatedly chose the options to not Tell her, that I don't want to tell her? It's really annoying
edit: I do actually like the character outside of this specific thing. I like her corruptive influence and stuff, it's just the constant ignoring of the choices I'm making, what's the point of even giving us those choices?

 

[drakov]

So much hate about this game !!!!

 

[Eleanorduval]

what we need for lisa to accept to go to the nude beach?

 

[Aksy]

what we need for lisa to accept to go to the nude beach?

Either really high freedom and lust and low love (less than 82)

or really high lust and love (both above 70 and 120)

 

[Eleanorduval]

Either really high freedom and lust and low love (less than 82)

or really high lust and love (both above 70 and 120)

okay but 70 lust,isn't good if u want avoid NTR?

 

[Eye-switcher]

and "action"

Is that a promise? Because its sorely needed now.
