VN Ren'Py Powers That Be [Ch. 24 - Styling] [Burst Out Games]

[Deleted member 2030943]

This is legit, legit. I really can't think of a more legit word to describe it.

On a serious note, I really enjoyed the story. It's pretty original as far as AVN's go and am definitely curious to see what happens next. But, like others have said the word "legit" and the memes really need to be toned down.

As nice as my experience so far with the game was, is it still a legit popculture meme hellscape?

Shit i actually feel for her at the end scene. I was not much older then her when my father died and my world came crashing down hard. No thanks to my pos step mother kicking me out before we even had a funeral. Much the same as the father and daughter carrying on I was staying at my GF's house listening to them when i finally broke as well. Can not wait for the next update after this heart wrenching ending

Yes and no. The devs seem to be settling down and getting more comfortable with their writing. The red head daughter is still the worst offender, her dialogue is just one meme caption after another which is tiring, but for the most part everyone else seem to talk normally now.

Thanks for your support! As of now, this schedule is comfortable for us, but we are also new to this and still figuring this out. We think that players who want big updates may wait for more updates and then play all of them at once. Another reason is that doing more frequent updates allows us to bump the thread up here on f95 and get new eyes on the game. It is our only "marketing" channel (though we got a couple of new ideas from a player earlier today) and since we are not in a mainstream niche, we need all the exposure we can get.

Out of curiosity, what do you find to be your main bottle-neck?
Is it writing the dialogue, setting up renders or actually waiting for them to render?
... or perhaps something else.

Just wondering since this VN is, along with a couple of others like Rebirth, one I'd say is in my 'highly anticipated' category.

Thank you for the kind words!
Setting up renders is the main bottleneck. We are far from the level of income that will allow us to leave our day jobs, so the actual time in front of the screen and creating renders is limited. And then certain family situations may cause delays in creating sex and nude scenes.
It all comes down to the amount of support from the community, but we will tell this story either way.

It's a bug that some players had and we fixed it in the latest public update, but unfortunately saves from the earlier versions are irredeemable. It's not even a bug per se, but a quirk of Renpy and there is nothing we can do.

squeezing in a Batiatus joke when he is talking about his dead brother is in really poor taste tbh, bring you right out of it.

I know people always talk about letting the dev make whatever story they "want to tell" but is it just me, or do you ever really know everything you wanna tell at every moment? In my personal opinion I don't. I like to write short stories and I love feedback from friends and family. I think bouncing ideas off of someone and them giving you proper constructive feedback is valid. And if the Dev changes a few things or a lot of things because they now WANT to do it that way, what's the harm? When people scream "Don't influence the devs" I say: "The dev is influenced by what they want to be influenced by". Not one thing I say can change that, only they can decide what fits in their story.

This is a forum to talk to each other and the devs (if they are nice enough to grace us with their presence) and people that comment should understand that their opinions and suggestions are just that. Yet just as important is for the devs to see what their audience likes in their game, what they are doing well, and what they could improve on. I'm not talking about "REMOVE THIS FETISH OR I WILL ATTACK YOUR PUPPY!" but well constructed and thought out criticism, positives and negatives, and helpful feedback.

Personally, I like the premise of this VN, but am very wary of jumping in with all the "cringe" dialogue. I haven't played the game, so i can't judge the game, so I'm not too valuable to the dev. However, I stand assured that the devs can pick out the useful suggestions that add to their game and not change the story they wanted to tell from the beginning.

Good luck Burst out Games. Also that's a lowkey good name

My only little itty bitty concern about the game is the MC. Even Tilly has more attitude than him. What I'm going to say here is not aiming the dev but I'm think it's more of a doubt that I have never asked, wich I have 21 years (since true love haha) that I'm playing this genre of games: Why are these games have a fetishe that the mc are either very shy or without attitude? I'm not saying that all the mc's has to be badass or no shame all the time but.... are you guys getting my point?

 

[JenMistress]

Well, just finished beige playing through the 8 chapters, and quite the interesting game. Normally, the one with powers would be the one someone plays, but interesting turn of events having it be someone who is having to help that one with the powers deal with it. Also, all those references, with my humour, they made me laugh.

No I don't get your point. There are these kind of MC but there are also badass MC in other games, corrupting who they want or attracting women by their sole presence. Diversity is needed, it would be boring if every game was the same. If you don't like it don't play it

Furthermore his lack of attitude can be explained in this game

Quite like the premise but the models are ugly as sin, like to choose between niece or daughter...neither, given the choice id rather be miles away from them..and did someone swallow a teen dictionary writing this shit...every 2nd word is legit this and that..like it would be so hard to use regular words that even teens use...nobody talks like this even in rl
