VN Ren'Py Pineapple Express 2 [v0.1] [SadPepper]

[kilroywashere1944]

love the first pineapple express , any chance for a MAC Version for PE 2?

I also would have liked that scenario - but 1. in that case the paternity of the kid would be an important plotpoint and motive: she being angry that she was not even informed of her having a grandchild 2. otherwise she should have been more angry about Cornell her own son being behind all the lying and not the couple. So why directing the anger against them? Also she initially didn't invite Peter.

Cornell said she punished him for not getting his life together etc. 6 yrs later you want to have Julia at your house seems sketchy. Just crap shooting here what if Cornell knows what she's up to that's why peter was bought along. Just my BS theory.

[Buddyhowdy]

I predict View attachment 5087647 and View attachment 5087648 are planning to View attachment 5087650 View attachment 5087651 then humiliate View attachment 5087656 while he View attachment 5087657 View attachment 5087658

I actually hope for the cheating path the MC does get humiliated by Julia in the end, similar to the end of the cheating path in The big Apple. The meaner the better .

 

[Malesheenis]

My two cent.
All F95 knows I'm a real fan od SadPepper Dimajio.
But for this sequel I was hoping a total new story and some new atmosphere, not the boring black rich family, but always with our great, slutty wife.
For example, taking the money's problem of the original story:
1) Wife start to work "at home" as youtuber, she's noted by a TV producer and...

2) Wife goes a career in the crime, starting to thief little things and going on as a high level scammer, defrauding rich men...

3) Wife, who has always had a knack for seduction and charm, suggests to MC that they create a service providing personalized performances for these events. She becomes the star of artistic and sensual shows (like burlesque or dance performances), while MC handles logistics, music, and promotion. But in the while Wife rediscover her slutty side...

Use Microsoft paint and make the family white there you go

That's the option on every path - if you choose to expose her, you meet him again, if you choose not to expose her, you don't meet him again.

Meaning he’s not likely to be a major player in the story (if he can be avoided so easily). Remember that we’re talking about a developer that releases monthly updates people - he’s not making content for a “branch” (biker) that can be avoided entirely & requires custom resources that can’t be reused for other routes.

Was there more to Pineapple express 1? I got to the part where Lisa may be pregnant?
Is there more to the game?

NIce. android port is much needed,

Depending how long (in game time) the game goes on for, I wouldn't be surprised not to see him again. Hey, maybe he'll magically turn up on the boat though

If the game does continue after the cruise, against the prediction of several in the thread already, you'd have to pretty much choose to take a detour to the biker bar specifically to fuck around with (or just fuck) the biker. Anything else leading to a visit to his bar would have to be a pretty big plot convenience.

 

[Dealbreaker]

I haven't seen anyone claiming that it's not. And the point of the sceptics is not how many plotpoints the game will have but if they will bring something qualitatively new. And what could that be with the biker in such a scenario but a further random banging where everybody is happy going in and equally happy and (emotionally) untouched going out again?

Not continuing after the cruise, you mean? I've seen it suggested a few times, but after a very quick search, maybe that was just one person saying it more than once, rather than several people - my mistake.

As far as something new goes... I disagree that the game must give us something that's specifically new. It just needs to give us a good story, or failing that, a good selection of scenes. No one's looking for The Empire Strikes Back here. I think the gist of your argument is that they've already done x, why would they end up doing x again and just repeating what they've already gone through? But I guess I just have an easier time playing a game as "something new" and not having to make it fit in with how I would expect real people to react after experiencing the events of the first game.
(Sorry if I got your argument wrong, I'm not looking to minimise it at all.)

That's an honest and consistent position on your side, and I guess a lot of people would here think that way, but 1. it's not only "why are they doing x again" but also something like: you can't be stepping into the same river again (don't know how that one goes in English exactly, but you know what I mean), meaning after x once, x isn't x any more but something else and the game has to show that (and to capitalize on that!). 2. more important: the dev's games up to know were so good in my (and others) opinion because they dealt with the initiation into this lifestyle and the power dynamics going along with this process. In other terms: showing how the couple is settling into something new for them. And this PE2 is the first time he is stepping beyond that. Bringing just a repetition is risking losing exactly what made his other games good, namely the couple exploring something new. He has the chance of showing how the new experience from PE1 has changed them in the long term, this would be in character of this dev. And this could go in all directions - maybe Peter didn't want to go further in that direction or she didn't or they had other partners in the meantime etc. All that we know nothing about but it's important. At the moment, as the game stands now, Cornell could very well have been a one-time thing like an affair. But that is not what PE1 was about and had established. (and all that is in my opinion not about real people vs fictional people but independent from that difference)

 

[Big Rooster]

I think Peter should have missed the boat on the cheating path, but Michelle will run cover for Simon, Cornell, and Julia's antics!

 

[Big Rooster]

you can't be stepping into the same river again (don't know how that one goes in English exactly, but you know what I mean)

A common phrase would be: that they "already crossed that bridge" or; It's "all just water under the bridge" or they "already burned that bridge". All Implying that that pathway is closed or going to be extremely difficult to circumnavigate.

At the moment, if you played Cuck route in the first game, Julia went back for a wild night with Cornell and she certainly was showing. She had said earlier she needed BBC more and more like a drug, so it seems hard to fathom that she went cold turkey for six years. The MC certainly didn't have the backbone to give her an ultimatum of no more BBC.

That's not what sequels should be about, though. Dealbreaker put it well: this was a chance for the dev to show what happens to a couple that already experimented with Cuckolding/Sharing/Cheating?
The 6-year timeskip was completely unnecessary, as it has no benefits and only introduces glaring plotholes. Like Sldia said:

And that was just the Cuck route (where Penelope is mixed-race)... the fact of the matter is: Julia discovered her slightly-nymphomaniacal sexuality in the events of PE1, and instead of building on that in PE2, SadPepper is choosing to "reset" that development back to 0 to give him an excuse for the current plot of PE2.
Here's a list of contrived things that the developer decided for - that don't make sense otherwise:

• Introduce a child in 4/5 paths (might as well have made it canon at that point), only for said child to be completely irrelevant to the plot: either as something that causes the story or that what drives it forward. Nothing.
  • The child in question can even be mixed-race, begging another question: how the fuck did Peter's parents just readily accept a mixed-Penelope without any drama that could've been used for the plot of PE2?
• Cornell ghosts his best friend and the woman he impregnated for 6 years... because he was immature? Okay, fine, whatever, but...
  • Why the fuck was Julia in contact with the mother of the man who abandoned her after getting knocked up? And why she kept it a secret that she gave birth to Mrs. Johnson's granddaughter??
• Mrs. Johnson saw such amazing chemistry between Julia and Cornell that she was devastated when the ruse was discovered and they "broke up"... but apparently she was the only one, as Cornell was not at all happy to see Julia once more in some epilogues of PE1. He didn't feel anything towards the wife of his best friend that was willingly sharing her with him, so he decided to just ghost both of them. Yup...
• It's only after 6 years of being nagged that Cornell decides to talk to Julia again - just to ask her if she can explain to Mrs. Johnson that they are never getting back together. Better late than never...
  • Oh, and Mrs. Johnson invites Julia to her home after 6 years of minimal contact. The tardiness runs in the family, I guess...
• After experiencing mindblowing sex in PE1 with various strangers, Julia and Peter never again had any such experience for the next 6 years - despite Peter's parents being very much involved in their granddaughter's life. What about the paths where they don't have a kid? What was the excuse then? You're telling me Julia went from threesomes with 2 strangers to monogamous sex with Peter for 6 years?? And it was never a point of contention between them???

Yeah, no...

try to not kill the dev before the end

try to not kill the dev before the end

I'm not angry at the developer, I'm just extremely disappointed that they've chosen the laziest way to "continue" the story of their most popular IP.

This game should've been made with original characters if nothing from PE1 was going to matter or influence the story. As it is, this is just taking advantage of Julia's model's popularity - which is borderline scummy behaviour.
