RPGM - Pies & Apples [v0.5.0] [Neon Night Time]

One of the aspects that I particularly appreciate about this game is its commitment to community feedback. The developers are highly responsive and actively engage with players, taking their suggestions and criticisms to heart. This level of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about their passion for the game. It’s clear that they have a vision and are determined to see it through.

In conclusion, it is a fantastic pixel art game with a lot of potential. It offers a captivating experience that fans of the genre will undoubtedly enjoy. However, it is in dire need of more support to reach its full potential. I highly encourage fellow gamers to check it out and consider supporting the developers on Patreon. With more backing, this game could truly become a masterpiece in the indie game scene.

this game has potentials ,it just lack support from patreons lol

This is the start of a new kink for me, i thought 6 boobs was gonna be weird and just bail mid game, but i was hooked with the story and situations where things happens that gets me overstimulated. Because of those things, the weird kinks was growing on me and I'm very excited for the next updates. Looking forward to the new update!

Very amazing and unique game! There aren't many games that go the natural route with body hair, which a lot of people, including myself, are very much into. You can tell the developers are deeply invested in the story, artwork, and character personalities. Each character feels like a living being, with their own unique personalities. And the artwork is just downright great, out of all games I have played this artwork is my favorite, the artist for this game nailed it on the art. I'm looking forward to seeing this game completed, and I think everyone should keep an eye on its development. It has a ton of potential to be one of the best adult games ever created.

On the other positive side, the pixel art is great. On the negative side, this is a 10-minute kinetic visual novel heavily padded with non-game gameplay . The gameplay starts with a small map with a few interest points that tries to be an adventure game, but is just a skeleton of what it is trying to be. The gameplay then devolves in to a go to a location and hunt for scenes affair.

The translation is awful and often fails to communicate to the player where they should go next. Not a single one of the characters has even the slightest bit of depth. Each sex scene consists of an isometric view of 2-d sprites from the 90s, which is kinda meh.

I will never understand why devs are so desperate to not make a kinetic visual novel when that is all they are capable of.

I suppose it is fairly obvious but the art style relies heavily on nastiness. Pubes everywhere, bodily fluids galore, hairy armpits as far as the eye can see. Look if that kind of kink is your thing then you might like this game. As someone who is about as turned off by that stuff as one can be without having my pecker shot off, I just can't appreciate the game. I take it back, I can appreciate the game but I can't appreciate the art. If there was an option to remove the excess body hair and pubes I would say the art would be pretty hot as long as you can also skip scat, urination, gas and other things that someone does to and in a toilet.

Great but got stuck in the dinner don't know what to do very great visuals and i would have to loved to play the full game but sadly don't think its updating and is left for dead, such a beautiful game. Hope people give it a try

THE GAME SHOULD BE FINISHED BECAUSE HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL
this RPG captivates with a narrative that’s as deep as it is mesmerizing. The characters are not just pixels and text; they’re souls with stories that weave into the larger epic. Every quest feels like a chapter from a book you can’t put down, and the plot twists keep you yearning for more. It’s not just a game; it’s an odyssey that leaves a lasting impression long after the credits roll. A true masterpiece of storytelling in the gaming world.

Love the game and eagerly await each update of it. I really enjoy the unique art and can say pretty confidently I don't thing I've come across anything quite on par. The pixel art is excellent and I appreciate the more uncommon approaches to character styling like the multi-breasts on Martha, and the pubic and body hair on multiple characters which I find is too uncommon in games these days,

While I can appreciate that its not for everyone, it certainly is for me, excellent work Neon Night Time

perra puta obra maestra para los degenerado arriba perú de paso bombardeen esa webada carajo que buen juego porfa nunca abandones este juego serio ya quiero que esté terminada para disfrutar esta maravilla

So very disappointing. I am a huge fan of most of the tags, but I literally cannot stand playing this game.

Pros:
+Time and effort was put into the game maps and character sprites
+The pixel art is well-made* (We'll come back to this one later)
+Characters are distinct and seem to have their personalities and style
+Plot seems to have a decent enough premise

Cons:
-Typical RPGM time wasting content, turned up to 11. I don't want to go run around picking up random crap on the ground for 15 minutes at a time to see a still image of a character sitting on a toilet or something similar
-Instant game overs with no real warning. Oh you decided to interact with some slime on a wall? Enjoy going back to the last save point and watching another 10 minutes of boring RPGM sprite cutscenes! What's that? You stepped onto an area that was somewhat near an enemy on the map? Oops! Go back to the same exact save point as before since you can only save at certain spots! Hope you're looking forward to more RPGM sprite cutscenes that you've seen at least twice!
-Quests are awful. "Hey, you need to go into this house." Okay, how do I get in? Don't know, better run around 4 maps while I look for the magical tile that starts the event. Didn't you know? You have to go jump over a river to stand below a waterfall to get hit in the head! Then the other characters will come and find you, duh! (The dev's response to the quest design issue in the game thread was "a player said they're going to make a walkthrough for the game so suck it up and deal". Not ideal honestly...)
-Latest update broke save games. Great! Now I have to slog through all that boring RPGM BS to get back to where I was for the exciting prize of like three more actual images. Cool. If you're going to break saves in a lengthy RPGM game, offer the player a skip to the latest content. It's a porn game, no one on this site is winning awards for their gameplay (especially RPGM games). Letting people skip past boring cutscenes they've seen before isn't going to undermine your artistic integrity.
-Gallery or "album" seems to not work. At least as far I could tell. And if I can't get it to work in over 2 hours played, it might as well not exist.
-For the love of god, put in a text FF/skip option

Personal Preference:
~I'm not going to put this in actual cons, since I realize it is just personal preference, but the art is just...gross. I'll happily watch a girl get fucked by tentacles, or have her anus prolapsed or whatever, but this stuff? Bleh. The artist adds in coarse-looking hair coming out of like every character's ass, the mom (who seems to be the focus of the game) is unappealing and super flabby and just not nice to look at. Add in a super wrinkly fox lady and then you get gray stringy pubes and ass hair everywhere.
~"Milf" and Gilf focused. The daughter, and the childhood friend or whatever are pretty damn good looking (but prepare for a forest of pubes and some ass hair again), but the number of images they have pales in comparison to the aforementioned mother and granny characters.
~Some Engrish, but not enough to put it as an actual con
~The Patreon sub name list is an actual in game cutscene, and can be accessed from the pause menu. Hope you don't accidently hit it, or bye bye to another 40+ seconds of your time.

Overall:
I would say that this game would be better as a Ren'py point and click game, but the dev/devs seem to be focused on making this some kind of pseudo RPG/adventure game...and I'm just not feeling it. The game needs a metric ton of QoL improvements, and give us an actual reason to want to explore maps and areas. Put in easter eggs, player choices, optional content, something, anything to not just feel like I'm playing an on rails story with about extra bull crap I need to do in between seeing the sparse number of scenes the game actually has. Or maybe they just want to give the illusion of having content by artificially lengthening game time, who knows?

Despite the good points, if a game feels tedious/annoying/frustrating to play, that's a trip to the bottom of the ranking from me.

Great game, unique art and character designs, fun and hilarious story.

The game is still in beta, but every patch has made the game improve by leaps and bounds. More art gets added, story expansions, new systems, as well as lots of QoLs and improvements.

Some things to note would be to save frequently, as there are some unexpected game overs if you’re not paying attention to how many lives you have left, or if you just get caught in an unfortunate situation by choosing the wrong choice.

Overall, this game has a great future and just keeps getting better, would definitely reccomend to give it a try if you find the sample images attractive!

A really unique game with great looking pixel art! The game is improving every time a new update comes out, and you wouldnt recognize the first version compared to this one (0.04)
Of course, this game doesnt hold your hand and tell you where to go, so patience and exploration is both required and rewarded (hidden secrets, scenes etc). If this is not something for you, perhaps wait for a WT to be available

I feel the game really opens up after leaving piglett hill, with a large map unveiled that will fill with opportunities and stories as the game is updated!

The dev is passionate about the game, and is willing to listen to feedback and adapt to it, as long as you keep a civil polite tone.

Many great QOL changes since release, like a quest log, portraits, and more!

Will definitely keep an eye on this one and recommend trying it if you like TF-themed games or pixel art games, with an old-school vibe

I had not planned on writing a review, but I was asked to. So, downloading the game again and giving feedback.

TLDR: Good concept, many original aspects, terrible, terrible execution.

For whatever reason, the dev decided to go with keyboard support only. Small ding.

A fairly good instruction of the key's used, nicely displayed, but a little annoying that the dev chose not to make "always dash" an available option. Small ding.

The pixilated 8 bit art that is the games normal is mildly annoying.

Continued pixilated full screen graphics when there's an H scene to show you, even more annoying but something you get used to. Some of the H scenes later in the game just leave you with the smaller chibi view instead of going full screen. It's not clear that art of the closer view just hasn't been made yet or if that's just how some of the H scenes are going to be presented. Big ding.

Many times, something happens that is signified by the character flashing or a sound happens. No text tells you what happened. In the case of sounds it's usually finding something and you have to go to your inventory to see what you found.

In some of the cases a status bar in the upper left (when Rocky has the lead, there are two sunglasses and capital T, when Martha or Stacey, 3 Sunglasses, heart, capital T) These are not defined anywhere. I'm assuming the heart status bar is how the girls feeel about Rocky, but ther others??? Kind of defined in the changelog, but of no use to a player who doesn't read changelogs. HUGE ding.

Instead of being able to choose kinks you don't want to see, you're given the dialogue box

"The game contains scenes that may not be suitable for all players. You can refuse them by making a choice now. Refusal does not affect the plot, but changing your choice will only be possible by starting a new game!"

No mention of what scenes aren't suitable for all players, just a blind choice. You could be turning down scenes with actual sexual activity, or maybe you're just saying you're not into scat, golden showers and extreme scenes. But you as a player have no idea. There is a message in the forum indicating that it's toilet and fart scenes, but the current description sucks. Huge Ding.

Quests is an even bigger Ding.

For reasons beyond comprehension your tasks are divided up in your diary under "Received", "Updated", and "Completed". There is no option for ALL, or ALL Active

And when you select a task, the description kind of tells you what you need to do, but offers Zero hints or really vague hints on how to accomplish them

Then.. when you complete a piece of a quest, that quest moves to "Updated" and the text "Quest <name> has been updated", then you have to go into your diary and updated quests to see the hint changed instead of actually getting that clue or anything similar in text .

The quest has a character icon at the front, which I assume is who's got to be leading the group or be the character you are moving around to move it forward, yet for many quests it stays a grey question mark. At first I thought that was to indicate you haven't gotten far enough into the quest to learn who's quest it is, but then I completed Call of the roads and it stayed a grey question mark, so apparently that's indicating more than a single character's actions. Horrible design when you're not actually informing the end user what it means. Another big ding.

Next ding. You can't save at will, you can only save at proscribed save points. Not huge, it's not the only game like this which does that, but it's always a minor ding in my book.

Is it still a game worth trying? That's up to you, that's why I wrote this review.

Great art, and hits some fetishes that other games won't touch. I'm hoping for more furry transformation. From patreon posts, it sounds like the developer plans long term support for the game, which can be good or bad: scope creep can lead to a game being abandoned. For now though, I highly recommend this game, although the developer is fond of old school games, which often leads to obtuse game design (hidden coins, unknown quest requirements, invisible objects), so using a walkthrough is recommended.

Fun game with great art and a very unique vision. Will be very interested in watching where it goes.

Appreciate also that the dev team has a rep who is very active here in the pirate forums. Many games do not offer such an asset.

I remember playing the older version and loves the pixel artstyle. I'm glad to see the team updated the art and added more content.

The progression is a little hands-on () and tough if you're playing with one hand (). But its doable, just be aware. Amazing character and scenes and pixel art.

Hope to see more

Really solid start for these early stages of the game!
Art is unique and very good, with well made characters and locations. The plot is starting to develop a bit, and the dev shows great progress from v0.01 to v0.02
After a few more updates i could see this being a very very good game.

Only negative would be some instances of the english being a bit strange structurally, but the point gets across anyways. Might want to consider getting a native speaker to proofread, but not a big issue.

This game has a lot going for it. The pixel art is gorgeous, Mart(h)a has a very strong characterization, and it appears that this game is going to be a sort of puzzle game, which is excellent. In this initial installment, we not only have a chubby (and bossy) woman, but we have very prominent urination (yeah!), a promise of farts in the disclaimer page (yeah!), and pratfall-based sexual situations. It appears a lot of the titillation in this game will be from accidents and other embarrassing situations. And I understand the sound is particularly good, though I play in silence.

On the "could use improvement" side, the English is not very fluid and has very awkward wording and stilted sentences, but as I understand, they are working on polishing it more in the future. The humor is there and will really shine with some editing.

Overall I really like the direction of this game and am looking forward to its future!
