VN Ren'Py Abandoned PolyCafe [v0.1b] [2idiotgames]

[jish55]

Alright, well if this trend continues then we will redo him into a Platonic character or have 2 versions of the game, one with and one without that storyline.

I wouldn't even say make 2 versions if Liam is not going to be involved much, just allow for us to not have to witness it, and offer the scene as an option to view for those who decided not to go with blonde bimbo (if we decide to leave instead of go with her, allow us to choose whether to stay and watch or leave before anything happens, this way you can keep the scene in without having to change too much, and just add the option for us who don't want to see those types of scenes).

Alright so... Tonight has been rough haha 1AM here right now and I have to get up in.. 4 hours yay.. I have a list of idea's/suggestions to go over with the writer tomorrow once she sobers up. Anxiety is a big problem with her and has been freaking out quite a bit about the launch. which is why she won't be posting on F95. Trying to be 100% honest with you all here and find ways to work with the majority of kinks/interests and so that you understand some of the delay's.

Basically here is what we will work on and get a V0.1B out hopefully by the end of the week or early next week.

1. Add in ways to stop the sexual relationship between Lillie/Liam and turn it more platonic
2. Show more scenes from her POV texting him or have a choice on who to follow for certain scenes to better show the progression of their relationship be it platonic or sexual.
3. Also question. Until we can get better hardware to support more in depth animations, would you all prefer just a more detailed single frame progression through the sex scenes? Or stick with the short animations and just go back and redo them when we can later on?
4. Work on Liam..Again lol

Honestly the only complaint by far I've seen is just with the Liam character sooo yes it has been heavily noted.
Thank you all for your feedback. I know there has been more posts as I've been writing this. I will read those before I head off but unless there is anything drastic to get to... g'night!

 

[jish55]

I find it hilarious that almost every person who has played this game refers to Liam as Creepy McRapeface, it suites him.

futanari is the japanese word for hermaphrodite..it bugs me when futa is used for trans or trap...lol..all futa's should have BOTH naughty bits

Yeah, but (not to derail the thread, I'll just edit this for future comments), the cultural understanding here in 'Murrica is that it's grils with pingers. We already have the term "hermaphrodite," which we traditionally draw as feminine, but only like the real, basic, out-of-touch art sites will use the only term we have in English, "dickgirl." Basically, my point is that there's A LOT of herms in futa/trans games here, and I'd wager more people prefer it the other way. #BecauseVaginasAreWeird

The only Liam that I can give one of the main LI is from Acting Lessons.

I can go either way, and I've seen games that implement both depending on the scene where they add some animation while also using still shots. I say just do whatever is best for you and your partner when creating this game, and thanks for not taking it personally, we're not trying to be dicks here, and we're not wanting you to quit or feel fed up because we're displeased with something, we just want you to make a good solid game that, as we've already seen, has great renders. Also hope your partner doesn't take what we're saying to hard, we don't want to upset her, especially with her having massive anxiety disorder.

to be fair, he deserves it, because he's just awesome, and anyone who hates him has no heart.

renders and animations aint an issue really..the renders are quite nice..the animations..though limited..are fast and fluid..very smooth..that helps hide what they lack to an extent...so..ya..its all about Liam..HAHAAA

 

[Methos23]

allow us to choose whether to stay and watch or leave before anything happens

But it still happens, what's the point just remove Liam from the game I mean, why is he in the game if the girl I forgot her name is a love interest why have him in the game what is his purpose and she's very cheap to buy have the MC give her tip first I bet he will get in her pants in no time

I think both type of sex scenes are fine. I suggest you to try both on two different character and see how that turns out (Only if you want/ or have time).

 

[MLBnoob]

to be fair, he deserves it, because he's just awesome, and anyone who hates him has no heart.

I'd so give him Melissa and the Smurf while I keep Megan for MC.

Sorry for going off-topic but Liam(Acting Lessons) is such a bro.....*tear rolls down a cheek*

[B]Moose-Steaks[/B] kudos for trying to get feedback here specially considering it is a pirate site. Just word of advise do not try change the game way too much by taking feedback just from the user here, they tend to be bias toward one way or the other(either harem or cuck fan). If you change your game to please one crowd or other this game will doom to become another mediocrity among thousands of other cooky cutter, same faced, and over used 3d models harem clone.

But hey it's just my opinion so take it with grain of salt. If it were up to me every game would have gang bang in it.

 

[dunhill]

Lmfao, if the general consensus is that nobody likes Liam.. well.. it may give us quite a setback in terms of already rendered scenes and writing done..but I'll have a talk with my co-creator about removing him..probably over drinks because that character is quite close to her.

well its just odd seeing what shes up too if she is supposed to be just a friend and even more so if shes a romantic love interest for the future, i thought that she was just a possible love interest only if i choose the other options... maybe you was trying to turn her into a slut or something?? idk but the way she is written is not to my taste, like she out with another guy who she seems to like then gets jealous when she see us dancing with bikini girl??

the way Lillie is written its like a gold digger, not going to waste my time behind her unless i want a cheap laugh.. also i wouldn't want to get into business with a gold digger because you know its not going to end well...

bikini girl is written how i would expect her to be not really a love interest, she is just looking for a fuck and be done i also like how you can reject her... she got that "i got a few STDs but i'm not going to tell you" vibe about her...

idk you can keep everything as is and make Emma the main love interest as she seem like a way better woman than Lillie...

 

[McWoodz]

I don't really feel like downloading this right now because based on what I've read it doesn't sound like my kinda thing but I'm also intrigued to see what McRapefaces' sleazy creepy rape face looks like so if someone could just post a pic of that then that'll do for me

 

[Cypheriuz]

Looks good but But Rapy McRapeface, no thank you

 

[Alig8r]

Ok so i've given it a try here's what i think. EMPHASIS ON "I".
It feels crude and it has the right to be that way this early on. You're asked first thing in game what relation do we have with Lillie?? Isn't that for you to set up properly? I get the impression that she's just a friend and they'll develop feelings by realizing the jealousy the feel when seeing each other with different partners. Don't start with 3 screens of text explaining the situation. Start with characters talking and reveal it that way.

The choice of partners:
Going all creepy 50 shades of gray for the first dude she meets is not good. Leaving <unspecified amount> for coffee and then calling the girl a "pet"? Petplay, degradation etc have a small audience.It feels like you were rushing to have some BDSM content. Put it in later on in a more natural way maybe. Or perhaps your idea of making the two friends come close is getting their hearts broken by Liam and 'Bikini girl'. It's your story to tell.

The 'Bikini girl' remains unnamed even after meeting twice. No one asks the cashier to apply sunscreen XD. I don't know what to think about choosing the from the tree candidates bit. You'll have to work to integrate three characters instead of one who naturally appears in story so think about that.

Choices:
Your reaction to Liam's advances on her have no effect. Make it happen in future updates.

Progression:
Doesn't feel like a week at all. It just feels like scenes cycling through the home and the cafe. Have the two friends talk. A few scenes of breakfast, on the way to the cafe, etc.

Have you decided to put characters on the front with the place in the background? Maybe have them positioned in the place instead of facing the camera. The same music feels unnerving after some time. switch it up a bit. Single scene animations are fine. Animate older ones with each new update.

Finally, don't get discouraged. Won't leave a review till i get a good feel of what's going on but i've got my eyes on it. Hope you have plans to make it a healthy poly experience with honesty between people instead of a jealous fest with cheating and abuse. Cheers.

 

[ThunderRob]

First thing I think of when I see poly is.."wants a cracker" BUT the second thing I think is...m/f/f/f/f/f/f/f/f relationship....SO...that's all I have to say about that ...

 

[Radriewyn]

The story is written really well, but there is some things that make it really off. It seems like this was written as a sister/brother story, so that would play a big part in why there is tension between the MC and Lillie, especially the thoughts of the other one being with someone else and their actions a little better.

I think I understand what the writer was trying to convey in the story with Liam, even though I think he has to much of a 50 shades vibe going on. He is getting Lillie to be more open about the BDSM lifestyle, while she is still thinking of the MC as it is happening. I also think he is also suppose to be the release for her building sexual frustrations for the MC, until the MC mans up and takes a more dominant role. The problem is that it is way to fast paced, which makes people hate Liam, and think Lillie is nothing but a whore/slut, ready to do anything he wants on the first date after just a couple of encounters with great tips. In the current build of the game, she is not any better than the blonde bimbo that the MC can have sex with. Which puts some people off since she is one of the main characters for the MC to be with, if not the main.

If you do want to keep the characters and everything, instead of doing 2 different versions, just change the pacing and arc of Liam. Pacing and choices could fix it for people on both sides of the fence.

As an example of what could be done: If she is written to be a submissive pet, like it seems, you could have a story of him talking to her, feeling out what she likes, telling her what he like, maybe do some play stuff, build up from there, then have the choice if it gets full sexual or not.

But this is just my opinion, good luck, I can't wait to see what she comes up with if the 2 of you decided to change it.

"" discovering the joys of polyamory ""

what.. the...actual... fuck ?

rarely see peoples doing polyamory talking about "joy". But more about "drama and shit".
it's not like all women love to share a nice D with others -_-

 

[Johnny6]

ok..part way in..already really disappointed the main girl(your co business owner) is already diddling a creepy rapey dude...thats a killer for me...can avoid seeing it if i decide to go with the blonde bimbo..BUT..i know she's being dominated by an asshole...animations are ok..basically repetitious 3-4 images..but they are fast and fluid so helps cover that..the choices matter methinks due the extremes of them...still..not a fan of games where the main-dame is boinking others...no..its not the 3 letter word as ya aint dating her..but you do get jealous and angry pangs..so you feel betrayed...not fun..blah...
oops..no..cannot avoid seeing it...fuck the world..pffft
ok Rythan25 you might like it..its decent..clear english...i wont be playing it again as i have no interest in seeing the dame i want boinked by others..LOL

I almost downloaded this game but reading this thread first was a good thing. So thanks Rob now I don't have to waste my time on this. I'm just a little annoyed because the previews looks good.
