VN Ren'Py Project Myriam - Life and Explorations [Ch. 5.12+p] [Zorlun]

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

Myrian will be visited by Pennywise? Or Desire?
