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

[Jstforme]

Is it just me, or has the spicy factor the Dev implied at the beginning of this game not come to fruition? It started off strong with the abusive husband and blackmailing son, but it was short lived and just faded into the background (she's fine with what her son does to her now so all smiles).
All of the MC's lovers are single, respectful, and/or save her from potential danger. Outside of the Limo event after the gala (and only if you let her act like an idiot teenager by smoking weed for the first time mixed with hard booze), there isn't much going on with the plot besides who will the MC willingly spread her legs for this update to keep me coming back.
I understand playing it safe with the story keeps some of the very vocal minority content, but it just turns into any other "how big a slut can the female MC be" game, eventually fading into the background.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Marc is going to be a obedient sub bitch on my game, better than letting him turn into a huge asshole like Anthony or a little asshole.

 

[TomUK]

Read the last sentence again.

How about you don't put the last sentence in the small print as an addendum, it ends up looking like part of the signature.

she really could act like a pretty silly teenager in the smoking weed scene xD

 

[PietruccioTheHilander]

Will it be possible to just download the updates rather than downloading the whole game again. Bandwidth constraints

no

 

[ouch2020]

Not a fan of the chapter ending, as I wish there was a path where Myriam didn't get custody of that creep Marc.

Actually, while someone else pointed a "dom" possibility for Myriam, there is also a third option. Aside testing the incest patch while making it (by the way, yep, it's me making it, though I am not the one combining it with the WT mod), I did not use it, but I am sure there were at least a couple of occasions (starting with the first possibility with Marc) where Myriam could block the situation, and the nothing, or nothing anymore, would happen.

Yeah, if you don't have Myriam do anything with the boys at the swimming pool, there won't be an option to do anything with Marc this update, but the custody &c. will proceed as usual and he'll still be hanging around.

I am wondering why almost all of the men in this game are monsters? Two cops total douchebags, three students rapists, limo driver rapist, husband every sort of monstrosity, son evil as far as evil goes, guy with the suitcase a total bastard, drug dealer nothing short of expectations, husband's colleagues devious rapists, hotel receptionist another rapist maybe even more, even William perfect niceguy starts nicely then force himself on Myriam with manipulations etc. good or maybe not bad men are an idiot giant, a sketchy looking detective and a hobo. Other than that only small interactions.

But women are nice like Lucy a saint, Kat is an angel, Kat's friend nice etc.

Is the Principal a monster? He's got a big dick and likes hard sex, but so far, he was worried he hurt her. Dum Dum at the hotel wasn't bad either. Can't argue with the other ones though. I didn't try the cop dates where there was little drinking involved though either.

Well, you are right, but I was honestly thinking about even before. If the first time in absolute you do not do anything and block the thing, you can avoid anything from ever happening with Marc, as far as I remember.

Well I can't say principal and pe teacher are monsters, though they are leaning towards creepy side but nothing criminal yet. I referred Dum Dum as an idiot giant which is on the not bad side. I can count masseurs, brat from shopping, muse seeker even that weird porn producer are not monsters yet. Although if you wanna continue kids from the pond, doggie, creeps from the beaches, weirdos from subway, chikan from subway, friends of son, russian guy at the park, other dog at the park. List goes on and on and on.

The cops turn out to be assholes too, the rich guy at the gala wasn’t mean to her (forgot his name) the massage therapists that she meets with Eve were ok to them, also the clothes designer (forgot his name) and then Aiden actually helped her out after an attack and maybe the shrink dr silver gets a chance

 

[Kheram]

three students rapists

I dont get where you get this from.
To start the event Myriam should willingly undress herself.
yeas there was plenty of group action in this route, but nothing even close to a "rape".

 

[I-No]

I am quite happy with Zorluns decision to not divert the story too much. That way the game stays a little more linear and the chances are good every update offers something for everyone.

No, still no animations.

And that should not change. Animations are very demanding to produce (and usually not good anyway). That time and effort is better spent with creating more of that great story and more of those wonderful renders.

no

Hehe. If someone's bandwidth is too small for the whole game, just wait for the compressed version. Some people already struggle enough with different versions, mods and patches as you can see after each update. There is absolutely no need for another source of errors.
Since the game is getting bigger and bigger I suppose Zorlun will have to split the whole game into parts sooner or later. But an "update only" version would complicate things even more.

[...] there is also a third option. [...] there were at least a couple of occasions (starting with the first possibility with Marc) where Myriam could block the situation, and the nothing, or nothing anymore, would happen.

That's exactly the point. If someone doesn't like a certain scene it's (almost) always possible to avoid that scene alltogether. Project Myriam covers a lot of kinks, almost everyone should find something of his/her liking. Basically it's Zorlun's game, he and his supporters decide about the content. So far I was never disappointed.

You are free to avoid any scene that you don't like. If the cop's DP treatment of Myriam isn't your thing then just don't go on that "date". There is the freedom of a simple yes/no choice. Don't expect Zorlun to produce hundreds of different story arcs for all tastes (nice cops, bad cops, black cops, white cops, gay cops, trans cops, futa cops, dominant cops, beta cops, ntr cops - I think you get the idea). That just won't work. Zorlun's approach is perfect. And the game's success proves him right.

TLDR: Keep up the good work and don't change anything, Zorlun!

Btw, Myriam gets hotter with each update. But I think I already stated that.

When I said the cops turn out be assholes, I wasn’t talking about their dp scenes and rough sex with her.
I meant how they beat up 2 guys in a bar just cause they were hitting on Myriam even though she told the cops to leave them alone they still had to go all “bully with a badge”mode and it was the cops who caused her to fall down the stairs, that’s why the bouncers threw the cops out of the club. Did you even play that scene?

He (assuming is a he) probably refers to the fact of her being stoned and drunk.
Indeed if she is drunk and/or stoned or anyway in such a state that she is unable to give her fully understanding consent, in some jurisdictions that is considered "sexual assault", or another formulation that is considered similar to rape.
Though that is based not only on the state, but on the fact the victim feels as a victim the day after (and files a complaint, to have the criminal case opened, in general, this type of crime is investigated based on the complaint of the victim, though in some cases and jurisdictions, there can be exceptions).
As far as I recall, Myriam did not feel raped, at worst (depending from the choice of the player, if I remember well), she felt she had let the thing go too far and could have stopped it but didn't, and effectively she did not blame the boys, because the boys did not try to secude her, and as far as I recall the boys did not try to get her drunk with the purpose of having sex, did not pretend not to have sexual interest, and did not give her even the drink trying to hide the quantity.
But despite the fact that when I had in real life situation with drunk clearly showing or saying what they wanted, I did not "do it" (or do them, if you prefer a more brutal variant ;-)), I would not call those boys rapists, but opinions can (luckily ) differ, and in his opinion evidently they are rapist.

Is there a cheat or something that will let you raise Miriam's stats to allow scenes to play?

Can use URM, by using it, you can raise (or lower) the value of variables, but also, since Zorlun made the good choice of using clearly named (at least till now ;-)) variables to store Myriam decisions and choose the paths, you can also trigger different paths. It is not the way one is meant to play normally, but I do it for my testing of the paths with the incest patch, and it works quite nicely, at least till when Zorlun will keep (hint hint ;-)) the same clear coding standards.

What is URM?

 

[ouch2020]

What is URM?

Universal Renpy M(odifier ? don't remember anymore). You can find it here on F95, I think in the cheats/mods forum, a nice little tool. And then, if you are playing with the incest patch, you can use my URM file if you are too lazy to create your own Actually, you don't need the incest patch at all , you only need the URM configuration file inside the zip, it will work even if you use a version of the game without any modification, or with the WT, etc.

I'll take you up on that offer, thanks.
