VN Ren'Py Project Myriam - Life and Explorations [Ch. 5.08a+p] [Zorlun]

[ouch2020]

I was kidding. I added a note to my original post. LOL

Well, I had the doubt with the part about " I mean, without that, there's no sense in even making the game right?! " , but one thing I noticed on F95, is how people can be kind of missionaries that need to convert all the heathens to their kink or orientation, or on the other hand, like the inquisition trying to burn all the heretics that do not want to support their kink, orientation or fantasy.
And Myriam has had more than one peak of flaming going around
So, I have become a bit more prone to take any indication about wanted kinks more "seriously", sorry for that ;-)

 

[Zorlun]

Zorlun, curiosity, without spoilers , for the continuation of the pool scene, will matter only if one was on the Myriam sub whore, Myriam fun whore, or Myriam dom path, and whether something happened in the pool, or will also the value of some variables (I thinking things like submissiveness, willpower, domination, lust) also matter ?
I am asking because I was thinking something (though probably some will not like my thinking) whether something happened or not, something could still happen in the house, as you already hinted.
But at the same time, from one side, even if she is in the "dom" situation, she left herself go when she allowed Nick to get in her ass; from the other, even if she is in the "sub whore", but even more in the "fun whore", she may still be able to at least try to stop things .
So, in theory, if the values for the different variable were high enough (and low enough, depending on the variable), maybe it could be possible that even in a 'fun whore" (or maybe even in a "sub whore" situation, she may still have the option to say "no" to something or let it continue (rather than having it continue automatically).
And even in a situation where she is supposedly in a dom path, if she has lust and submsiveness high enough and at the same time willpower lower enough, she may end up letting herself get in a situation where she is not really in control, or she has the choice between getting the control and stop, or let go and let the boys (or Marc ?) have their way.
This aside the possiblity of being full dom even inside (again, I am thinking about the variables, with the rights variables, it could be an automatic choice), although even that does not mean she may not do stuff with both, lust level and/or other kinks allowing.
Even while being in dom path, she says more than once she has to regain the control or she will lose it, and viceversa, even while being in sub whore or fun whore path, she can still go back inside (though that alone does not mean nothing will happen inside, as you already indicated).

For the scene, as you said, Myriam sub whore and Myriam fun whore brought you to a scene, which could follow through or Myriam can go in (next is for the coming update), then after that, she could go and try herself being a dom (no need for her to have been a dom) or avoid staying (again, follow up on the coming update).
The stats in themselves were not used this time in the scene (well, just a tad), the goal here was to funnel everything back to end the duo of scenes in three possible ways, after that stats will be reused in next scenes with Marc if need be.
The scene was more about preparing for the plot line around Marc for this chapter than modeling Myriam's desires.
But I think you'll get a better view once played the second part.

Yes, there will be also a scene around Lucy and I wanted to fool around with a new "weird event", but the second part of the pool event took me longer than I had planed, so I may be shorter on that front.

I love your "weird events" happy to know that there will another one. By the way thanks for your great work.

There were 3 different social work choices she could pick
1 juvenile detention youth
2 prisoners
3 old seniors

do you have the link to this choice?

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

1 is that "delinquent boy" right? I forgot his name.
2 didn't appear yet i think.
3 is bobo?

By the way those choices haven't its consequences felt ingame yet, right?

1. I believe you mean Aiden.
2. Nope
3. Yes she visit him.

 

[Zorlun]

The choice appear after she gets out of the hospital when she brought Bobo there with Lucy.
The three possible social work were elderly, tough youth and prison.

For now, no, last update I wanted to go for the elderly for the second scene, but I preferred for the flow of thing pursue with Bobo, but it'll come, there just a lot to work with. ^^

yes, now I remember: I accepted all 3

That scene where Myriam is picking out jobs is definitely one of the more awkward in the game: It's basically presenting the player with a checklist of fetishes and asking them "Are you interested in [KINK A]? How about [KINK_B]? What about [KINK_C]?" The game has lots of other choices like that (when it asks you if you want to pursue the religious abuse simulator storyline or not, for example) but I feel like they were less metagamey. It really took me out of the game and made me think about "Hey, wait a minute, is the author *literally* designing this narrative as a checklist of every kink/porn game trope they can think of to add to the game? How is all of this stuff going to get a satisfactory amount of content to appeal to all of these different audiences and also be finished within the next twenty years?"

(And I still think the game would be stronger if it were more focused: A smaller pool of characters/tropes but more content for each one that makes the cut. I hope when Zorlun has more experience for their second game they'll do something more like this instead of Myriam's approach of trying to be everything to everybody.)

Can't argue with that, this moment felt indeed like a check list. ^^

For the less characters and more focus, I get where it's coming from, but when I started the game, I was bored with the usual MC and his/her 4 or 5 paramour and nothing else in the world, so going for an experimental game as it was my first, I chose to go the other way around and push it on the world around the MC, I wanted to test the limits on the writing standpoint and game construction, which will help me for my next game. In the end, the best way to learn is by doing.

Doesn't the whole game do that, though? You're presented with choices that are basically asking you what fetish or kink you want to indulge in.

Well, even life is like that in the end, you're always managing choices on how to deal with what's happening to you or what you will do, but in games if you don't want to make it break immersion, you 've got to try to be as seamless as possible, this one series of choices was a bit on the quick side on that part I will admit.

 

[Viressa]

Actually this gives me a funny idea: A porn game that actually makes you fill out a

at the start, and only gives you content that conforms to the checklist.

I'm not making fun of them, actually, those checklists are invaluable tools for us kinksters. They help you to get on the same page and negotiate a scene everyone will enjoy. Nothing is worse than a scene that goes badly because you didn't do this kind of negotiation in advance.

 

[ouch2020]

Zorlun, I don't know how many people you have on Patreon and Subscribestar, but by chance I just looked at the post I used for the incest patch.
Not all the likes are from people actually using it (I think even you "liked" that post), but F95 says there are by now 127 likes to that post - given that the people who use the incest patch, or even just liked that post without in the end using the patch, are only a (small ? 5% ? 10% ? Throwing numbers...) minority of the people playing the game, it means you must have quite a good base of players , another indication the game is a success.

I'm nearing the 700 with both cumulated and 1700+ on the Discord server, after that I think it's probably a small part from the people actually downloading and playing the game here or other sites where people share it.
So yes, two years in, I'm quite amazed to see how much it grew and get supported.
I can never thank you all enough for all the love and support I receive.

 

[layer1avn]

^ Well, you're one of the few authors with a sufficient level of degeneracy to make a thoroughly entertaining experience.

From your first release, I knew this was going to be a game worth following.
Thank you, Zorlun, for all your hard work and dedication.

And here's the preview of the second scene, which will be all about a new "weird event" (come on, no boo, it's been some time now). Of course as usual, the choices made about them apply, if you chose to see them, you'll see the scene, if you chose not, you won't, etc... I won't go into too much spoilers, I always like leaving some mystery to this scenes.

The scene will follow up on Myriam after her scene with the pool boys, leaving her in her bedroom working and falling into sleep after some work. So as the title expose, Myriam find herself into a weird dream with a mysterious creature haunting her (which one? you'll have to play to discover), will ensue some naughty time of course (quite the hot scene I must say).

The scene is fairly short and to the point, I wanted to had some choices before the naughty moment, but felt as I was working on it that it would have just been an hindrance to end up at the same place, so I chose not to in the end. The scene was really fast to render (though I have to redo some of them due to an error I noticed), which let me catch up on the surplus of time the first scene took me.
