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

[Deathbringer_jo]

I'm honestly surprised the game is going to come out in February which is way earlier than I expected. The fact that the updates are substantly bigger each time I extrapolated that the release date would be in April-May. The developer must've been really working hard to get it out by February.

Having read a couple of dozen of pages of comments since the last update. I really hope the developer makes the canon ending of the game NTR as a final "fuck you" to all the loser trolls that have been giving him a hard time over the years. Literally threatening his livelihood multiple times just because he added a fetish they personally didn't like to a fictional porn game. What a bunch of losers.

Developer should take his time and not rush this. Going for the perfect landing at the end of the game is very important for his long term reputation and future projects.

Last but not least. The what-ifs bring in the most money and support which makes sense as I personally also like them more than the base game. However the developer should recognize that the only reason the what-ifs have an appeal is because they are resting upon the foundation laid out by the main game. The what-ifs wouldn't do well without having the main game. I hope he makes a mental note of this when he starts a new project so that he doesn't exclusively goes and make what-ifs but makes a new foundation first. Otherwise I fear for a huge reduction in supporters.

Not canon = not happened
Sterling will be the first one reach the promisse land

I know and it was not my point. I just hope the canon sex scene between the MC and Ophelia will be as good as the non canon ones.

Just joking man.
Yeah, i'm also hyped for Sterling/Ophelia first time. Hope will be a great scene with proper build-up and foreplay (some titfucking and blowjob before will be nice) and not simply go right to the P in V and ended just after few bumps/clicks.

Second at least.
Someone had to get there a minimum of three times before!

It's comments like these which make me curious as to why anybody is surprised by the arguing/complaining that goes on in here. I don't care what anybody says this sort of mindset is fucking toxic and makes everything worse, it keeps the cycle rolling. I see it all the time in the comic book fandom, it ruins discussions and starts making things personal. It's some real perpetually online loser shit to say "I hope the dev makes a bunch of anonymous people mad just to spite them". Edit: Combatting loser shit with loser shit doesn't anybody.

Correct, yet I feel like taking my turn to repeat his words. It is so annoying to me that vanilla fans start throwing a fit anytime a developer tries to follow his vision that does not align with theirs. Vanilla fans are by far the most entitled.

Amazing game, it has almost everything from perfect graphics and female bodies to super animations But such perfection should have sounds also Please add moans for animated sex scenes.

I hear what you're saying, but it may be false equivalency to call that a "cycle" here. This game features content some do not like and they never stop complaining, that's the cycle.

While I'm personally hoping for the story to have a happy ending, I'd be kind of impressed if it actually didn't. It would be a bold move and subvert expectations, as they say.

subvert expectations

2022 entertainment has made me hate that phrase more than I can adequately express.

Blame 2017 and The Last Jedi.
It was basically Ryan Johnson's tagline, and became a meme for something being utterly shite on purpose due to ego.

I think every "discussion" on the internet is a part of a cycle even if they know it or not. Especially one that's been going on this long about a hardlined topic like this

Imo an ending like that that would do more damage than good. Expectation subversions aren't very good for large and established fanbases. And would bring out more complaining and I feel like if there's one less thing the internet needs it would be more complaining/arguing.

That's all I'll say. I don't want to become one of the people who give paragraph long comments in the thread of a porn game and I'm not really invested in the conversation anymore. I only had a problem with the "do something that purposely makes a large group of people angry" part of the original comment. I absolutely despise that sort of mindset.

Why does the first chapter at least not match the quality of the images shown here? Is it just the early chapters that have worse graphics/resolution and does it get better in the later ones?

 

[castor212]

btw does anyone know wherer save file is located?

 

[castor212]

oh man, im on the part where Kevin gives away sermon on password leaking, and holy shit theyre actually informative

this porn game be teaching me things

Again I'm personally hoping we get a happy ending, and a canon bad ending may actually upset some of the dev's supporters (if they were expecting a happy ending). If they were to withdraw their support, that would be measurable "damage". That said, I think any controversy would be irrelevant if it didn't impact the dev's income.

This game has been going for several years. During that time, the dev has gotten more skilled and presumably invested in better hardware. The first couple of chapters look a little rougher but I think they still hold up well enough.

it gets better as the game goes on. The dev vastly improves every chapter.

compare this, his very first animation he's ever done for the game
