VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.02] [Underground Studio]

I think it's ultimately wrong to keep someone as your FWB when they quite obviously have feelings for you. Jake should have either broken up with her or entered the full relationship long ago; instead, he kept using her for her professional support and sex either until she got completely heartbroken and broke things off herself or until circumstances forced him into accepting her for at least some stability in his desperate situation (yeah, that's how I interpret his decision on her path - I think he doesn't really love her either way, he just wanted to stabilize the situation).
Jake is at fault for their relationship problems, just like he was the guilty party with Allison. His thing with Veronica can still be salvaged however, and I'll make sure he does it on my watch.
As for the competition… It shows how unhappy and desperate she really is, and I feel for her, even though she shouldn't really pay any attention to Jasmine.

I disagree.

Jake is not at fault about their relationship problems with the decisions possible to the player. Its not his fault that they have different expecations of the relationship, they are - despite the similar age - in entirely different situations in their lifes.

And it is possible to play Jake in a way that he is very open and honest about his intentions (if you dont have really any but fwb) and to communicate it with her too. They are simply incompatible and should break up if none of them changes their intentions. I would say until this point both hoped kinda the other one would align with their idea over time.

But Veronica is a women who wants a stable life and kids and probably has some kind of last minute panic while Jake is a dad already and had the life she craves already.

He was for sure the guilty party with allison, but depending on how you played him not with veronica. He was open about what he was able to give her which made it possible for her to make the decision that its not enough, that she wants more and needs to breakup.

I don't accuse Jake of anything as far as his player-controlled decisions are concerned, because they can be different, and I only bring up some of them as illustrations for his possible motivations. My main problem with him here is how he treated V prior to the game's start (and a couple of minor things he does in-game which are out of player's control).

Yes, but Jake had no moral right for that because on her side, feelings were involved. As the one with the clear head in their pair, once he understood that she doesn't get his "I'm not readies", Jake had to either break up with her or take the next step, and by hesitating to take responsibility for it, he ultimately toyed with her feelings while benefitting from the whole thing.

I mean in most fwb relationships are some kind of feelings from at least one side involved, its never simply black and white and like a switch turning them on or off.

I dont know why you interpret Jake's behavior before the game started like that when all he does in the beginning is to reaffirm that he doesnt look for anything serious right now. To me it gives the impression he behaved like that before the game started too.

And Veronica started the girlfriend-behvaior/stuff with the beginning of the game as shes hoping to take the next step. Imo all of this was fair game from both of them, they just simply are not compatible at this points in their lifes (if the player doesnt want a relationship).

Mind you he never stayed the night at her place or she at his, he never introduced her to his social circle at this point, this isnt a serious relationship. You are not supposed to break up with your partner for them, its her decision to evaluate what she wants from her life and relationships.

I always saw Veronica in a "I can fix him" mode when the MC wasn't necessarily looking to be fixed by her. I personally don't care for her character, doubly so after she felt threatened by Jasmine and felt the need to compete. So that just leaves her looks and while I think she's attractive, that's not enough to run her route for me. While I don't agree with everything the MC did in regards to her, I do think he's justified in keeping her at arms length if he's content with the way things are. Had it been me in the MC's place, I would have completely understood her wanting to "break up" and go away for a bit.

Also I still don't trust Nat, I avoid her at all costs (even though she is hot af)

She keeps dropping shit in Russian. I would've already contacted the FBI after the first five minutes of talking to her.

In order to know for certain, we need to somehow get her into a squat. It's the ultimate test.

Heels to sky? Western spy. Heels to ground? Comrade found.

She's spy agent, probably russian agent Honeypot for MC
At charity ball she uses old russinan proverb about monastery and going there with own rules
You don't go to someone else's monastery with your own rules)

Is there any action with the girl from the banner or nothing yet?

 

[Dessolos]

Is there any action with the girl from the banner or nothing yet?

yes and no. in the main game there is only a blowjob and titfuck no actual fucking. But there is an extra / bonus scene on the main menu that has a full fledge sex scene.

Girl in the banner is Jasmine and yes there is.

I’m sharing more stats with you: as of now, I’ve completed over 3,700 renders, most of which are already rendered and a few hundred still need to be made. Regarding animations, I’ve created 182 so far. However, I’m concerned about rendering time here. At the moment, there are 39 animations that I haven’t managed to render yet. According to estimations, rendering just the current queue will take a little over a week of continuous rendering. And since I’m still creating more, the queue keeps growing!

Currently, I’m finishing a big lewd scene. I’m giving myself another 2-3 days to complete it. After that, I’ll move on to a much shorter lewd scene, so thankfully, there won’t be as many animations left for it. Finally, I’ll work on a small erotic scene and two normal, relatively short scenes—and then I’m done!

In the next development update, I plan to share the release dates for Patreon and Steam. As is often the case in game development, we plan for one thing, but reality often surprises us. Honestly, the number of scenes in this update turned out to be overwhelming, and I believe splitting it into parts was the right call. Otherwise, it would have been the biggest update so far, and you would’ve waited way too long for it.

Of course, many factors affect how long game development takes, and unfortunately, some things can’t be sped up. But I already have the next episode planned, and it will be significantly simpler to create. I can't promise, but I hope I’ll be able to deliver it to you faster than the previous ones.

I can’t wait to finally announce the release date and see you play the product that has taken so much of our time and dedication. I never imagined this project would grow to this scale, and I’m proud to share this journey with you and everything we’ve managed to create together.

Stay tuned!
