VN Ren'Py Playing the Girlfriend [v0.1] [NoctaEterni]

[NoctaEterni]

And one more thing: I’ve seen a lot of comparisons to the game Pineapple Express, which I’ve played and enjoyed… so at first, I took it as a compliment. But I’ve also seen a lot of accusations of copying that game, which I don’t agree with. Of course, there’s a certain story outline that’s similar, but that applies to most adult games, which are usually based on one of about maybe ten basic tropes…

But I don’t agree with those 'accusations,' because apart from the idea of fake dating and the male character’s race, they don’t have much in common… my game is more of a college drama with a twist (guy goes to college)... somewhat.

And Pineapple Express didn’t invent fake dating—it’s definitely been in adult games before… and if not there, then certainly in romance novels and romantic movies. It’s a well-known trope that’s been used to death. So I’m not claiming I’ve come up with something new, because I haven’t.

And how long did it take you to read this novel? One hour, two or more?

A hour or a hour and half - something like that. But clearly not just a 5 minutes

 

[wolfling11]

My plan is to release monthly updates, with some exceptions of course. Most likely there won’t be one in january because of the holiday season in december.

Hi man keep the NTR story grounded and realistic as possible no need to rush anything set up things properly for good payoff don't rush anything aim for a realistic story and screenplay experience and change the Bull's name if you can the name Tyrone is too stereotypical also don't add unnecessary secondary characters

Ignore these kinda low iq ramblings comparing it to Pineapple express

 

[wolfling11]

NoctaEterni Wanted to ask another thing here don't you think Amber's Hip to waist ratio is kinda of unrealistic ? slightly out of proportion and looks exaggerated for a fit Caucasian women ? would you be willing to tone it down a little in upcoming updates if enough ppl agree ? Btw everything other than that is perfect about her

About the animations, there is one currently in the game during the one sex scene, and while it's not the smoothest animation ever, it's really decent for the first update. I'm really hoping the quality either stays the same or goes up though, I've seen other games where the animations start out being decent but actually end up worse. ("Manila Shaw" being a prime example for me.) So please take your time with them.

Yes, there will be choices to make… even in this version you have the option to tell your husband the truth or half-truth about the conversation with your friend. The direction is obvious: the husband either knows about the plan or he doesn’t, which doesn’t automatically mean he’ll know if a boundary is crossed when it happens. And you also have the option to remain a faithful wife and refuse to cross a physical boundary, but that means giving up most of the game’s content - it defeats the purpose of the ero game.

So you'll be able to choose to tell him about boundaries getting crossed each time it happens? I like the choice of honesty though, more NTR games need that.

It's ok to compare it to Pineapple Express but the fact people are saying it's copying it, is the same exact argument I hear every single time there's a black lover in a game. Meanwhile there's dozen harem games with exactly the same premise yet no one complains.

So is this gonna be Amber cheating with Tyrone story or can we expect other dudes/rivals?

First of all, thank you for your response. Yes, there was indeed a choice, and I told my husband everything, because that is the right choice in an honest relationship. I'll be honest, and going back to my previous comment, my question was not a coincidence. I have zero interest in BBC content, so if I say no to this stupid idea, is there a guarantee that I will never have to see Brenda's son? I don't even want the guy in the friend zone, so do you have an alternative version of the wife having an intimate relationship with another character? I'm not interested in crossing the line with this guy... I'm interested in never having to meet him. And yes, I may lose a lot of content that you mention, but that's only because you're building your game around one fetish... So if your story is only about Tyrone, that's a problem, give the woman more freedom to explore herself and her desires with other men (Swedish lumberjack, Italian mobster, Japanese yakuza, blah, blah, blah) Let me give you an example: .An ice cream vendor doesn't only have chocolate flavor, every person likes different flavor, but if you specialize in just one flavor, the connoisseurs will look for another ice cream vendor.
Finally: The game is yours, and it's up to you how creative you are and what possibilities are hidden within you...

 

[Xill]

The whole premise (and the name of the game) makes it sound like the story focuses only one character. Maybe if the story/choices lead up to him sharing her with his friends or something we might see more characters she gets with.

 

[fidgetspinner]

And you better open Google and check what the japanese slang Netorare and Netorase mean. Oh and let's not forget the english/american term Swinging too. You should infrom yourself better when you are speaking about something you pretend to know when in the reality it's obvious you don't know that Netorare is on Japanese and it's the same as Cheating(Cuckolding) and Netorase it's the same as Sharing(Cuckoldry or also Cucking). Same thing - different language.

There's a thread tag. read it.

Hi man keep the NTR story grounded and realistic as possible no need to rush anything set up things properly for good payoff don't rush anything aim for a realistic story and screenplay experience and change the Bull's name if you can the name Tyrone is too stereotypical also don't add unnecessary secondary characters

Just because you don't like the name Tyrone it doesn't mean the developer (who i believe is a girl) should change it. Should the developer also cnage MC name or may be her husband name or may be Brenda's name or may be even all names because you or someone else don't like them? And then once again there will be complaining - why did you change the names? I don't like this names,the previous was better... and so on and so on meaning the developer would only work on names and not on the story just because some people does not like some names? Hell no,if you don't like the name,you can pretend it's called another way when you read the story or just don't play the game. The name Tyron is pretty cool name. And what do you mean to not add secondary characters? Don't you know that almost every day a person does meet different peoples in their live - when they work,when they go somewhere,when they meet a friend or their partner,at the gym,at the school and so on and so on... Right now i am pretty sure they will probably be added at least 2 or 3 teachers,1 principal and at least 2 school girls and 2-3 school guys at the school from where Tyron is suppose to miss classes - it was mentioned that he is missing class and Amber would try to fix that,may be show there with him who knows. There will definetelly be added at least 1 or 2 of her husbands friends and colleges and his boss who at some point will probably see Amber with Tyron and ask her husband about it. Let's not forget about Tyron's friends or as they also call them "gang" - he is spending time with bad people and acting like a thug - means he is in some kind of gang and selling weed and drugs - there will definetelly be added a few more black guys in his gang and some that are not from his gang but may be from another gang. As you can see there will most likely be added more characters in future - of course not all will be added immediately,probably first will be added only 2 or 3 new ones and as the game updates continue there will be added the rest too.

As for your other post: I don't see anything unrealistic with Amber's hips to waist. The proportions are good and they are definetelly not exaggerated - besides do you really think that all Caucasian girls who are fit look the same way? There's no point to change anything just because you don't like it. Why don't you try to do your own game instead of complaining about the names and how the MC look and asking the developer to change it? It's up to her how she wants the MC and all characters to look like and what names to be called,not to you.

The game is obviously about Amber dating a black guy. You can see and understand that the moment she meets her best friend Brenda who is a black woman and when they talk about Amber doing her the favor to pretend to be Tyron's girlfriend and how Brenda start question her about the fact that Amber is afraid to be seen with a black guy which of course Amber did deny but she can clearly see Brenda's point. So,yes the game is about the "interracial" - a black guy with a black girl and that's what makes it so cool,but if it's not your thing and you don't like it you can just play another game,there are plenty of different games here and in a lot of them you can choose either to have or not to have anything with the black guys(if there are a black guys of course) and the same way you did give example with ice creams i'm going to give you a example too: different type of games for different people tastes

As I understand the premise of the story, it doesn't seem to make sense to go toward cheating with someone else if she doesn't with "Tyrone" at first. Since she doesn't seem like she really wanted to go ahead with the whole fake-dating her friend son. It doesn't look like she would be doing it if it wasn't her friend son and how it seems to be the final attempt to get him back on the right path. So, I don't think there would be a possibility of her cheating with someone else like your hypothetical ice cream vendor, without having her go help "Tyrone". The only way I could even see her cheat with someone like her husband boss, would be if that boss saw her cheating on her husband with "Tyrone" and so he could potentially blackmail her in some way. Even then, the chance of someone like that seeing her with "Tyrone" seems unrealistic, since it would basically be people coming from 2 different world. Not that it's impossible, the boss could be a drug addict, have some deals in place with some gangs/mafia, etc. Anyway, it would still be impossible to have a story without seeing "Tyrone". So, in the end, unless the dev decides to have a thousand branches at the start, which I don't think should be done when starting a new game, you might have to skip this game for a while., if not completely. And that's fine, not everything should cater to everyone.

EDIT: To the dev, keep it up, the character models look great, story is decently intriguing for now.

Nice prologue. Looking forward to the next update.

 

[IHATESlowburnBluBallgames]

change the Bull's name if you can the name Tyrone is too stereotypical

What do you want him to be called? Carlton, Erkel?

The cheating is suppose to be cheating on her husband. She is married and unless she divorce she can't really cheat on anyone else except the one whose she is in relationship - in that case her husband. Now,since she will be pretending to be Tyron's girlfriend some of his buddys(friends) or rivals(for example from another gang)can try to make her cheat on him with them and since she is pretending to be his girlfriend that may be considered cheating although it's false cheating since she is not really his girlfriend(at least at first - may be later in the game if you did choose the cheating route she may happen to turn the fake relationship with Tyrone to a real one while her husband does not suspect anything,but will see if that happens)

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say or didn't take into account that I was replying to Acsuka. Because I do understand that the cheating is with her husband. Like, no shit. That's why I literally wrote "it doesn't seem to make sense to go toward cheating with someone else if she doesn't with "Tyrone" at first". Acuska was basically asking if there would be a route without "Tyrone" in it. And since he has no interest in BBC content, I tried to show a way where there could be with maybe the husband boss (if he is white). Also, with the way the story is right now, it seems impossible to skip "Tyrone" anyway.

For the rest of your comment, yeah obviously, those scenarios are a possibility if the dev wants to use them. The fake-cheating with a rival of "Tyrone" would still be her cheating on her husband, and that's fine. The only thing I really care about is if the story to make those possible scenarios happen is well done and somewhat believable. With the facts that it's supposed to be a "slow burn" and "story-driven", I have high hope for this project to not turn into the classic of many others games being "MC is super smart, but she sees a big dick, now she is stupid and can't think for herself. Also, all of her morale and rationale are thrown out of the window." -> Cue all the stupid decisions for the sake of having her get fucked by multiple dudes.
