VN Ren'Py Project Dreadsteel [v0.1.4] [Rebel Tomboy Games]

[Rebel Tomboy Games]

If the developers read this, I sincerely hope you reconsider the engine you're doing this on. With the amount of information you want the player to engage with, Renpy is going to be an absolute chore to navigate. Either you cut back on your vision with all the numbers and what not (a very valid approach as less can sometimes be much, much more than, well, more) or switch to a different engine that can quickly and accurately present the player with all the information they need. Diving through sub-menus with a guaranteed delay because of Renpy is going to become very tiresome very fast.

Don't forget that while you - the developer(s) - know what to look for among the numbers, the player has to learn what the intent is behind each variable. If that information isn't quickly accessible and its effects aren't easily discernible, it'll just be a slog and then no one's going to be happy.

Secondary developer of the game here. Some people told us about the stats system, so we simplified it. Is a very valid point; we are searching for ways to make it more understandable, the stats per se, and what those do.

Maybe we'll modify the stats section more. All but a change of engine. Thank you for your time; it is something very important to point out.

sandbox or not?
also combat tag?

Yes, it will have a sandbox. Loling is developing it right now. We have an hour or so of story (30 minutes to 1 hour) and then, the sandbox, which will come in the next update, in a couple of months.

The combat will arrive to the game, but it will take longer.

 

[Rebel Tomboy Games]

Will there be Incest or beastiality?

We don't have that planned, sorry.

 

[Rebel Tomboy Games]

Any sex scene that doesn't feature the MC as the only male character is either a scene I don't want to see (if the girl/girls aren't LIs) or a scene I don't want to happen (if the girl/girls are LIs).

Are femdom, maledom, BDSM and lesbian avoidable?

Right now we don't have those in game, but they will come in some time. Yes, they will be optional, as almost all the game (scary parts, nsfw itself, hard scenes (not to much, but...))

 

[Wilwock]

Will femdom include pegging?

 

[SexyPain]

this game is absolute cinema ! The writing is mastered and the characters seem to have a real background. The H scenes available at the moment are of very good quality. I can't wait to have more content.

Thank you!!! I hope to improve the feel of the game in the Prologue 2/2! Story will pick up there! Glad you enjoyed PDS!

Are femdom, maledom, BDSM and lesbian avoidable?

For your 1st question, that is still being thought on, at v0.2.0 I will have a definitive answer (for now only MC is in scenes, and all main LI's by no means will ever be involved with other men. However lesbianism is optional, and not forced "The girls can be friends but you can push them to a romantic relationship")

Yep! Everything is avoidable, even H-Scenes can be disabled by removing the R-Patch or disabling it.

Really good game! Had fun playing it! I would love more nova content!

Wooohooo glad you did! Stay tunned for more Nova content! Next update will have plenty of her! (Wanting to see more of Rika too in Deep Freeze Protocol)

Great story and great dev <3. It is a very interesting story and has some of the best kinks planned ever like Lesbian maledom and BDSM. Deffo worth your try.

Awww thanks <3, you are awesome! The story is only just beginning, I feel like the next part will be way more exciting!

Will there be Incest or beastiality?

Nope, bestiality is a no for us.

sandbox or not?
also combat tag?

Not yet, v0.2.0 will have freeroam/sandbox, I will make it with next to no grind so you guys can enjoy the story and side-stories.

Combat will be added during v0.3.0, also includes themes of combat in the future.

It's honestly very impressive how things like armor, guns, and vehicles can look very good in a koikatsu game.

Thank you soo much! Indeed it can look pretty good! I'm trying my hand at custom 3D models for vehicles

You mean there will only be girl/girl and no other men in future updates, right? I don't mind girlxgirl if it's with the MC's consent, but if there was MMF, I'd simply leave the game.

 

[Ka1tzer]

Is the "deflowering" kink present in the game atm? Or will it be?

The premise of the game seems great.

If I may, then perhaps consider showing the relevant information when it's actually necessary. I think you noted that a sandbox is eventually intended, so - while having the stats all nested in one place is just fine and dandy during the off-moments (still limited by the engine, though) - to alleviate any frustration caused by unintended obfuscation, try to make sure that the specific stats relevant to whatever event is occurring are clearly delineated and immediately accessible (like, immediately immediately, the relevant numbers and their pathways presented on the main screen when they're being utilized). Just as well, though, accounting for all these instances will, inevitably, slow down development. Choose your battles and all that. Complexity is often the death knell of any project.

Exactly, no MMF (I do not like it). Girl on Girl is optional, and there will be choices that will influence that.

Is the "deflowering" kink present in the game atm? Or will it be?

The premise of the game seems great.

Deflowering is definitely on the planned list, and one of the kinks I really want to make memorable.

Thank you!

Will consider it! Thank you for your input, I will make it more noticeable and accessible if possible.

Spoiler: about the actual content of the game

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Other than that just a little remark about at least one trait combination that seemed particulary odd to me , Numb and Calm tied to one particular backstory, no problem with it but combined with Hotblood ? , i dont see how it would work since hotblooded is basicaly the complete opposite to the two other.

Maybe an idea could be to block some of those odd combination or doing some renaming maybe (even if other than this one i dont see any real problem with the others)

Also, i dont know if it's planned or not but maybe a little codex to explain some of the lore of this world or some specific terms used could be a nice addition to the game.

And good luck with your project, it realy look promising ^^


Edit : Forgot to ask since they barely have been seen (and without being introduced), but what about Meriem, is she a love interest too or just an important character for the story?
And if she is how the dynamic of the relationship with her would be given that she's already with a guy that she love, an mmf trouple with her and Amir, breaking them up or something else?

 

[timberwolfe]

let's see... more effort on the models than "swapping around some stuff like hair on the generic ass Koikatsu girls" and actually using one of the more detailed cock options for the guy? not just a flat stick? Awesome, I love to see those games and will be watching this with great interest, doesn't hurt all the girls ain't too hard on the eyes and the concept seems interesting.

First of all, thank you for taking your time to write your thoughts and feedback!

Hotblooded + Calm
I do agree on that one, I will look into it for next update, a combination between calm + hotblooded replacing calm with something else.

Lore or Codex:
Definitely planned! I will add an "archives" section that will unlock overtime information more about the lore and the actual events that happened, specially those involving KERI or the world.

Amir and Meriem:
I'm still not 100% sure about Amir and Meriem's dynamic, I will do a poll on it (They should come by Chapter 1). Their relationship is not defined and I understand that some players will find Meriem attractive. I don't think I will do MMF.

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy what's to come!

Hehe! Thanks! Glad I got your interest! I did spend a considerable time and effort making the girls and I still revision/polish them from time to time.

Well, that time and effort shows, and I look forward to seeing more of your work- not a game dev but I have messed with Koikatsu stuff, and I applaud your efforts, KK is a solid base, but needs more work to really take it up a level, and you've managed several levels - giving a download sometime today.. maybe when I wake up

 

[Crosaith.]

Idk dude. Game seems mostly cool, but sandbox almost always makes shit worse. If you're set on doing it; I hope you make it quick and straightforward. I don't wanna be forced to use a guide or wander around randomly to progress, especially if event/story progression is linear.

 

[Zang]

Hmm, I like the look and world building of this. Add in some Front Mission/Mecharashi too woo! Hope this goes well, good luck!

Yep! Everything is avoidable, even H-Scenes can be disabled by removing the R-Patch or disabling it.

In my opinion, voyeur sex scenes featuring characters the protagonist doesn't know and will never meet, are a waste of time. And those that feature characters he already knows or will meet in the future are a mistake. I don't think that kind of scene is ever worth including.

I'm not sure if that's what you mean about lesbianism, but it's impossible for me to allow two love interests to have a lesbian relationship if I can avoid it.

 

[Ralpvolvos]

However lesbianism is optional, and not forced "The girls can be friends but you can push them to a romantic relationship")

i like the trope that the Lis are bisexual and are in relationship with other Lis, either they already are in it or will be. it is quite rare to find.

i think the only avn that i ever played feature such relationship (mc + lesbian couple) are bare witness, Projekt Passion and after the inferno

We do consider making freeroam/sandbox more of a side-story and for learning more about the world rather than "Grind and farm for points." what I do want to encourage is seeing the side events which will be plenty and will quickly make you progress.
We will look into making it easy to see what to do next. I'm also thinking of adding a timer to make you advance to the other main story event rather than having to do set things to progress...

Hmm, I like the look and world building of this. Add in some Front Mission/Mecharashi too woo! Hope this goes well, good luck!

Thank you so much!!! I just looked those up! And It's just what I want to make the combat system like! (It seems possible, I'll begin with something simple first most likely though.)

I'm not sure if that's what you mean about lesbianism, but it's impossible for me to allow two love interests to have a lesbian relationship if I can avoid it.

Lesbian relationships between LIs can only happen with specific choices in some moments of the story. It's optional, there will be indicators in choices that will guide you to avoid/choose them.
