Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[rhcp725]

If we see it by December I'd be pleasantly surprised. However considering the first set of teasers hasn't hit yet i wouldn't hold my breath. Realistically Feb or March 2023

I mean maybe that´s the point. The fact that either of you wants all the asses available so you shall compete in epic battle until victory is claimed by right of anal sex.

Or maybe he adds the route because he wants to add futa.

The truth, is no one know whats going to happen with Drew, she could be a enemy untill the end, she could flip side or she could be in love with MC and become one of the girls, only dev knows that, we can make theories about it but only time will bring answers.

Patreon didnt "free" dev yet, probably after that, hes going to release some stuff.

 

[rhcp725]

There's nothing to release other than teasers as he gets work done on the next chapter and What Ifs. The What If topics got put up yesterday abd we'll know what the topic will be probably Wednesday. But even that will not drop till the end of August or beginning of September. Plus we don't know when his review will be done from Patreon. Meaning who knows when we'll see the What If once it's ready.

when is chapter 11?

At the current rate it would be optimistic to put it this year. With what if's coming back into play as well even if they are done in free time, who knows? The render quality is going up and the amount of them is also up which takes longer, plus the patreon drama. 9 to 10 took north of 6 months and there really isn't any reason to suspect the next big update will take less time because again, quality is up, longer time to make

when is chapter 11?

WWG might file for chapter 11 if Patreon keeps on preventing him from releasing content.

They are also why there were 5 ntr stories in a row and almost all the what ifs being Brenna hunter and why perception of the game had soured. Surely wwg can think of other things than whales shoehorning to entice 20 dollar tier

A lot of the sourness was when WWG showed the first ever vag sex scenbe with Brenna and Hunter as a gift to the NTR whales (who dominate the top tier and make it pointless to pledge and vote for anything non-NTR, been there and done that until it was obviouslly a lost cause).

Now that WWG 'gave' first ever full complement sex scenes for Ophelia to Hunter, including vag sex which even MC didn't get, people may or may not care (likely won't as most who didn't like when this happene with Brenna left 9 months ago) about the game, so doubt it would be more sour. And secondly, Ophelia will dominate the What IF sex scenes, most likley with Hunter, probably options not altready in game like Hunter, Brenna and Ophelia, because why not show first ever threesoms with the characters as a NTR focused scene since that's who is in the top tier? Makes the most sense so would be stupid for WWG to not do it.

 

[Ozygator]

As for the guys complaining ntr just ignore them. The front page says the ntr is opinional so I don't think they are actually turning that many people away. I think they are more upset than usual because of Ophelia's first vaginal scene was in a bad ending, which I think was a bad idea. A lot of people don't really care that much about anal so WWG should have did her first vaginal scene like he did Amber's and we would have gotten less complaints. Then have this chapter's bad ending be anal. Ophelia was probably the most anticipated of 3 and Hunter got there first so they feel they need a place to vent. Hunter getting there first is why they feel like it's an ntr focused game even though it's not. That and the what if problem. If you report it the mods will probably remove it. If not they'll lose interest after a while.

This is a great summary of the issue that many had with the game, including myself. There are a number of good NTR focused games on F95, and I've enjoyed them, as well as non-NTR, corruption/trainer, harem, the whole gambit. Usually the story makes the game.

For me only, if the first rendered/shown vaginal sec scenes for Brenna and Ophelia were with the MC I wouldn't have card if they were anally reamed by Hunter so badly you could drive a train in there. I'd also still be supporting the game. But that's because I don't care about anal. I also don't care about Catherine so Hunter could have had her all day long too, anyway he wanted, first and been no negative issues.

However, when WWG did the first ever rendered sex vag scenes with the two main femals characters it showed the real direction of the game and made the "not NTR" stance really just a facade for the players and the Patreon supporters. I mean Ophelia sex was 2+ years in the making and although not surprising that Hunter got first dibs and made the MC a phantom, "unofficial" sloppy seconds. Unfortunate for a supposedly non-NTR focused game that the first time vag sex scene was ever possible with the character was not with the MC, but a side character.

Oh and don't be deceived, the game and it's Discord and development is very NTR focused, or at least the Discord was as i have not been there since Update 8 when WWG proved they were focused on NTR above all else. Although it's technically "not in the game" that does zero to recude the fact that a large focus is on NTR based on story, dev actions, Discord and how the game has been done so far.

I don't "gift" anything in Power Vacuum. Almost every big moment has been outlined for years. The game follows an incredibly obvious trend with Hunter...he gets the girls first! He has since Chapter 2.

But more importantly:

The main game contains avoidable, non-canonical NTR content.

The 'What If...' minigames often contain unavoidable NTR and are clearly labeled.

Both are fantasy and don't affect the main story.


If this offends you, please vacate the thread or refrain from arguing about it. Reports welcome.

 

[E_nigma]

Well at least you finally admitted it.

 

[dartred]

I want to add to that^ The Brenna scene came WAY before What ifs were a thing. So he had no way of knowing his top patreons were even mostly NTR fans. He never did any thing that could gauge that. That was made because the story went that way, not because he did it to make any side happy.

 

[What? Why? Games]

Well at least you finally admitted it.

I've been upfront about Hunter being ahead:

And being mad that the antagonist is further along than the MC also overlooks a basic element of NTR. Jealousy. You want the NTR to be as potent as possible, so it's another reason to have Hunter be a step ahead of the MC. The NTR fans enjoy the stronger scenes and the vanilla fans are unaffected because they don't watch the bad endings.

What I wasn't prepared for is vanilla players who get riled up at the thought of content they don't experience being slightly more advanced.

Hey, look at that! A post that perfectly applies here!

 

[E_nigma]

Well more referring to the ntr game being the game you actually wanted to make so you baited people in with the normal content which is why it's taken 9 chapters to get any meat on the bones with the main girls. Fair enough tho, hopefully the next one doesn't try and satisfy such diametrically opposed groups of fans. Don't think I've ever seen that post, one of things that in retrospect seems a bit silly but at the time I suppose fair enough you didn't expect backlash

I'd fall for that kind of bait a lot easier without that signature.

It's like trying to take someone's opinion on rap seriously through their Klan hood.

But more importantly:

It always amazes me when people come in after playing the latest few updates and go "ewwww NTR I'm out" when it has always been there from the start as a punishment. Also there's a switch to turn it off so if you are seeing it I've got some news for you mate

What bait? I said fair enough, it is what it is at this point and any feeling of bait and switch or betrayal or whatever is just sunken cost at this point. I'm sure the game will get better as 10 was a marked improvement over the previous 9 but that one dark mark really put an exclamation point on all the issues I had with the rest of it, especially considering its proximity to what many might call an ideal game. This is the internet, not everyone's gonna be a dart.


The quote didn't load on my phone, but eh whatever. I said what I wanted to say. Don't see how the signature could be bait, it wasn't entirely hyperbolic

And not everyone is like you or Ozygator. I can't imagine this board if it was filled with people like you two, instead of people like me who are helpful to anyone who needs it. No matter how many hundreds of times the same question gets asked, i'm still answering them.

It should come as no surprise that Hunter tends to get there first when you think about it. He uses anything and everything he can to achieve his goals. It's not like Sterling never gets there, he just is going about it the right way in comparison.

At the end of the day each update gives a lot of content to be enjoyed. If you don't like that some optional content you have the option not to see it.

Just appreciate the game for what it is or find something else to spend your time on.

You do realize how backward this comment is right? Why would anyone who doesn't love NTR at this point in development, or after the dev gave first vag sex animations to the NTR protagonist for the two PRIMARY female characters from Chapter 8 (Brenna) and now with Chapter 10 (Ophelia after 2.5-3 years in development), want to support the game at the highest level? Hell I was a contributor at the higher levels until it became clear that the dev catered to the NTR group after Chapter 8. When Brenna had the first ever rendered vag sex scene given to Hunter I dropped the game like a rock and left the discord.

I highly doubt others didn't do the same thing. Sure, when the female characters finally had anal sex (officially) and vag sex (unofficially) I am sure some jumped on board, but it pretty much showed the dev didn't really GAD about those who were following the 'supposedly true story of the game and how others saw the characters. I have more to say on this topic when I write my review, but let's just say that I was not at all surprised that WWG gave all sex options, including first ever vag sex for Ophelia first for the NTR patrons specifically, as that was the clear direction this game was headed 2 updates ago.

You say that Hunter was the reason some paid for the game, well Hunter and the dev giving Hunter all the ''goodies' is also the reason a lot of people stopped supporting, or never supported the game. Compare this game, the length of time its out, the releases it's had, etc, against games that did not follow that path and see which ended up where along the way. I would say to look at games that officially included NTR and those who never had NTR both, since both genre's have done well, but this bastard mix lilely pissed off both camps along the way, with more dev time going toward the NTR group because they were the first major contributors and successfully had the dev expand the scenes along the way, but still too much, or not enough content for both groups most likely.

WWG as a dev has proven they cater to the NTR crowd in any number of ways, and I for one would never support them again because even if they 'claim' their next game will not have NTR as a focus, they will likely do the same tactic they have done here, or find some other way to include it. They almost have to at this point, because they have already proven they carer to that crowd, the NTR group is firmly ensconced in Discord and the dev (per Discord) likes NTR as a fetish and topic anyway.

Do you read the whole discussion or just that? The whole discussion was about NTR What Ifs, you can cry about this game being NTR focused as much as you want but to say that 10% of NTR scenes are the focus, i dont think you are stupid to believe that, sounds like you just mad because dev did what hes always did and not what you want, and whoever turn NTR off not even know what Hunter did or did not, your whole point makes no sense at all.
