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

[jadepaladin]

With Nat's father supposedly being some kind of ambassador, MC could do some internet work to check up on her. At the very least, he can fact check her family. It doesn't rule out spy, but I think Nat is a type of red herring. It feels way too obvious. Then again, AVNs don't always go for overly cerebral plots.

After that interaction Nat has with Jas *if you got the Scene at the conference* it Honestly tossed out all respect I had for Nat out the window.


Just knowing that

Spoiler: Nat

now means Ineed to redo my playthrough now.

I think overall to just stick with Jas, Mag, Kris, Alex and maybe Ally as long as you are just flat out honest with her.
Veronica I am on the fence with just because how pushy she is.

Can't wait for next update tho
Good Luck

Thanks Crabs...was misremembering when it was.

Anyone else have any further questions...no? No further questions your honor

Interesting how later at the park Jake says none of that. When Allie says she was ignored and left alone, he admits he left her to run the family, work, and marriage all on her. He doesn't say anything about her not being there.

Story consistency issue or change of heart?

The park conversation (on the reconciliatory path) is a lot more relaxed and casual, so perhaps without tempers flaring we get to see a more 'realistic' story of what happened?

 

[motseer]

Hah... the only excuse being... who in their right mind could resist Veronica...


Exactly this!!!

V wasn't the person that MC hooked up with that caused the marriage to fall apart. It was a different person, a co-worker, at the company both the MC and Allie worked at. He ended up leaving the company, as part of the fallout if I recall.

V came along after that, as far as we know she's only worked at the University.

Yeah, I wasn't really meaning to refer to that part of your comment. But, looking back at it, I see it sounds that way... You are correct, of course. I was just still in the mindset of having to choose how to treat a bitter, bitchy ex-wife while thinking about a handful of adoring hot students, while already dating a gorgeous, sophisticated goddess, while role playing as an emotionally challenged man-child... You see my dilemma...

I would imagine perhaps with things like this...there is always six of one and half a dozen other truths and omissions.

(and maybe some dialogue that needs cleaning up also heh)

really great update. It would absolutely jump up to a top 5 game if you can get some audio for the sex scenes.

 

[Krytax123]

He says she pretty much ignored him for the past x years her response is .....

Which is telling. So she doesn't actually try to deny this accusation. He was wrong for cheating...I've never said it wasn't wrong...but there was a reason. If you're ignored at home..hate the atmosphere...I've also worked longer and longer as I'd rather be there instead of beeing at home (admittedly, no kids for me to worry about).

And as i've said before in this thread (a long time ago) I do really wonder if people are being brutally honest (with themseves)...if their wife ignored them and gave them no affection for years....

Exactly what they would do (especially if there was someone on-tap wanting them)....because I know the truth even if most will never admit to themselves. (and no, I've never cheated or had an affair for the record, I did leave her first).

I mean when questioned, Allie states that their marriage wasn't working and she wasn't happy. It sounds like the marriage was dead and the infidelity was just the final nail.

How do we know he didn't and was brushed off...or ignored? There's only so many times you try to discuss something, get met with nothing and...just start to stop bothering....

Its very simple, they didnt had sex because they didnt had a working relationship. And Jake - instead of trying to fix his relationship with Allie or divorce her - just did nothing and tried to avoid the confrontation like a coward. Its not surprising to not have sex when you ingore your wife and hide yourself in the garage.

If your relationships sucks you either have to work on it or break up, Jake just did nothing and than he cheated.

Edit: Like even if we say that magically somehow all their problems and lacking intimacy (even tho allie seems to be craving sex nowadays) are only allisons fault for no reason. The right thing is still to find a solution even if thats a divorce and not to ignore everything and go cheating.

You mean...drop down to bottom 5....

I'm probably the only one who plays avn without audio or without moaning...
although sometimes I like the soundtracks when it matches the game

No you're not. I'm the same. There's only 3 AVN I play with the audio on. At almost 700 AVN's in...I cannot think of a single one that was improved by 'sexy audio'...

It depends on the sex sounds , I don't like hearing the moaning and grunts but I do like other sex sounds like hearing sounds from Jas sucking the MC's dick for example. As I do think it does add a level of immersion to the sex scene.

I agree but, that is usually very poorly done. I can think of two AVN's where it is done well and matches the video closely enough to be immersive... Jus' Sayin' I enjoy music that matches the mood of the story scene much more.

 

[Elduriel]

I can do without sex sounds, most of the time they are meh at best, but good music I like, so I keep that on. Again, if it's actually good. Some AVNs really deliver on that. Some are hit and miss. But I will give them a shot before rendering judgement.

 

[jadepaladin]

I like when devs add music and try to have it compliment the scene but I never want voice acting or sound effects during sex scenes.

yeah personally not worth the time and effort anyways just saying if it was to be added to the game that would be the only sex sounds id like

This works both ways, Allie clearly also didn't do those things. Their marriage falling apart is as much on her as it is on the MC.

Him cheating is 100% on him.

But my god is that hatefuck scene hot, it might just be my favourite AVN sex scene.

 

[justin.case]

Loved the update. I'd like to see wt too, so I can see all the paths.

 

[MiltonPowers]

Getting into a spat with Jasmine in the lab was so unprofessional and tacky that I was ready to dump her right there.

I don't like Veronica very much at all and not doing a path for her, but I love how everyone puts this on her. If Jas didn't start it and intentionally try to goad her like a 10 year old, V doesn't carry on. Of course, V should have been more mature and ignored it (and it was unprofessional), but she got threatened by the sexy student who was throwing herself at her man in front of her while she can't get him to commit. Perfectly understandable response and what most would do in the same situation.

Meanwhile, the sexy redhead gets a complete pass for her immature behavior. I wonder why?

If we had a choice, Jasmine would have been off my project right there and then.
