VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 Steam] [Underground Studio]

[demon79yu]

Just finished the update and an ending occurs to me: Jake and Jammin make the battery change the world. However Jasmine's' mind is affected by the battery and she become the Redhead Herald, making all the people feminist. To save the world Jake went back from the future, perished Jasmine as well as himself.

Spoiler: I fight for a bright tomorrow.

I don't think it was quite dead, but both Allison and the MC had clearly let problems fester to the point a crisis was inevitable. The reason I put more of the blame on the MC is that his actions are what guaranteed the situation would be irreparable. Poor communication kills, but it might have been corrected if either of them had a revelation and resolved to fix things; gaslighting your spouse about having an affair is pretty much a nuclear option.

I mean they have been divorced for 2 years and MC asks for an example where Allie has shown him any affection in the last 5, but she can't. The festering had been going on for 3 years and neither did anything to remedy it. That sounds pretty dead to me.

If we're doing lists...

Allison - honestly she might be my fave in all VNs but time will tell.
Jasmine - redhead/trouble, I'm all for it.
Maggie - She'd carry the VN if Allison didn't exist.
Kris - Goth princess/trouble
Natalya - Red herring spy
Kalani - I hope she's not a main route but I'm down for a lewd scene or two.
Alexa - I don't like her outward persona but learned a lot in the Kris/Alexa threesome about why she is the way she is.
Vanessa - The sex scene was nice but I don't see much future. She'll probably roll in for another scene down the road.
Literally every other woman in the story (the physio chick, Patricia)

I'm forgetting someone... never mind, she's in Canada and can stay there.

I'm still enjoying my time through the game since i started playing it just yesterday.

Allison- Can be a bit annoying at first, with all the (understandable) resentment she shows... until i caught on that she's saying "it's just for Lily" to herself just as much as she's telling that to her ex-husband.
She's wonderful when she lets her guard down, strong bond if she doesn't want it.

Jasmine- Red hot, drives a man insane type chick... of course i love her.

Kris- Jasmine but goth instead of a fiery goddess, so she ends up in slightly lower plane.

Veronica- You have the goods lady, if only you could tone down the needyness... i don't know 90, maybe 95%, and try to understand what the guy is going through with his daughter's accident it would be wonderful

Maggie- She's beautiful, she's super nice, she's the perfect girl... she's the one your brain says it's the best choice, but your "other head" might end up making a different choice, she's so nice she may be too nice and not edgy/sexy enough, still a strong contender.

Natalya- Pump it and dump it.

oh yeah if I went soley base on Looks Jasmine no question asked. even tho Jasmine went down in ranks for me this update I still like her alot I love her personality. Honestly for me just one solid date / character deveolopment arc and I can see her jumping back ahead of Maggie for me. As her personality carries her just as much as her looks for me she is fun to be around and she acts like a bro at times which I fucken love.

I would like to see a nice date with Jasmine too, at least something more than romantic based than just sex, would be nice to see more of that since I believe she Is definitely not just there to fuck around, like you said her personality Is great too. Again when It comes to Maggie, I may believe in red head supremacy but I've been proven wrong many times!

As I said, I don't really trust the MC's framing, especially at the start of the game. The fact that Allison doesn't debate his statement doesn't automatically make the statement valid.

But that aside, just because the two of them weren't really affectionate anymore doesn't mean they're as good as divorced. The two could have still gone through the motions in a more business-like manner, cooperating on official matters (Lily most obviously) but drifting apart otherwise. I wouldn't describe that as dead, though it clearly would die eventually, likely once Lily grew up.

To my mind, that's a very different situation from the MC not only starting an affair with a mutual coworker, but trying to brazen it out once Allison caught wind of it. YMMV.

 

[TheNowhereWolf]

Brain fart post here.

Remembered my main reason for having Allie come along to the conference, I didn't want her left at home with the potential harm that could have come to her with the rapist(yeah he failed but not for lack of trying) guy who seems to be creeping around her. She Is also one of best characters/LI's too though.

Allie acknowledges that their marriage wasn't a good one, neither were happy. Staying together because you have a kid is a sure-fire way to raise them in a toxic and resentful environment. They should have split prior to the affair.

Was the MC wrong for having an affair? Absolutely.
Can I understand why he did it? Yes.

The MC felt unloved and here comes a woman who throws herself at him, all so she could leverage it and boost her career. Nobody is advocating cheating, but sometimes despair takes over and you do anything to feel something, especially after years of unhappiness.

 

[desmosome]

Tried this on first release. Came back now. All saves are broken, so I started over. Reminded of the fact that daughter looks like a full grown DAZ woman's head on a child's body. In other words, the supposed 7 year old looks like a midget. It's uncanny as fuck and in a VN that looks great otherwise, it really stands out like a sore thumb. I can't take this full grown woman's head talking like a little kid.

Also, while I'm here, I want to point out the fact that auto-forward has no shortcut on the bottom right. We have to go into right click menu and push that button every time you want to start auto-mode.

 

[jadepaladin]

DAZ isn't the greatest engine to design kids in. Most are nightmare fuel.

I think we have a different view of the range of potential marriages. Staying together for a kid doesn't inherently make the marriage toxic, that only happens if the couple insist on blaming the other for the problems yet refuse to step away. The impression I get from Allison's side is that things were a lot less hostile than that.

And at the risk of belaboring the point, I can't really take the MC's need for affection too seriously when I've seen how he treated Veronica. Yeah, I get that the situation is different, but the way her thinks about her - and discusses her with Cooper - does not jibe with a man who was starving for tenderness. It does, however, jibe with a guy who missed wild sex and had begun to resent his wife for going domestic.

That's a big part of why I was so annoyed at the focus on how horny the MC made Allison in this update.

The way their marriage was (no intimacy, no communication) would definitely devolve into toxicity. MC states he should have found a marriage councillor sooner, so it sounds like the writing was already on the wall regarding separation.

The way I read the Veronica relationship is that MC is fairly reluctant to commit because his previous committal ended up loveless and he has more to think about than jumping feet first into something. He has to take into account how his daughter would feel, navigate how the ex-wife will feel about V around her daughter.

As for Allie's feelings, she is seeing the MC as he was when she first met him. He is driven to achieve his goals, which currently align with hers. She sees the work he has made on his project, heard about the training with Ham to improve his chances at racing, all in the pursuit of helping their daughter. Not to mention, she hasn't dated anyone since the separation, of course she's gonna be horned up.

 

[TonyMurray]

How do you get this?

How do you get what? The V screenshot? The Allie hatefuck? There's a couple of things in that post you could be referring to

 

[silverst0ne0656]

Has anybody posed a guide to getting all scenes in 3.2 yet?

Btw this is one of the most "i got you all figured out" expressions i have ever seen :

 

[LaShou23]

I don't think dev gave us a real reason to do it but i genuinely dislike Natalya, i can't even explain it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[metamorphMP]

wow, what a hit parade of V hate posting I missed with those ratings lol

I only played the game not that long ago, so I'll join the rates

#1 Maggie - woman you can only dream of, absolutely stunning outside and great inside.
#2 Veronica - I love how devoted she is to MC, and I (as MC) am grateful for everything V has done for him, it's really tough choice for me between Maggie/V
#3 Natalya
#5 Alexa/Jasmine
#6 Kris
#7 Allison - my last option, usually I agree to disagree with you, bro AlexMpog but in this case I'd rather Ex remains Ex, yeah, moving forward is the way for me here.

She is super sus.

She seems more interested in getting closer to the tech and gaming the MC/others than actually connecting with them. Smells like espionage considering she is trained in languages and seduction.

 

[TonyMurray]

Same here, but later today I'll start a proper Nat save and see if she can change my mind. Same with Veronica. I'm open-minded enough to know they can work for me, but so far they haven't.

Since we're doing it then, my pre-3.2 rankings:
1. Allison. Always.
2. Maggie.
3. Jasmine.
4. Veronica.
5. Natalya.
6. I have an "others" save that I will branch out as applicable, but I'm not ranking Kris (not much of a fan), Alexa (not a fan at all), Kalani (looking forward to more), or anyone else until there's some proper content and a potential ongoing save for them.
