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

[Dessolos]

Right near the end of the current update Maggie explains why she did what she did and that she has no interest in doing something like that again.

Honestly after her explanation now I like the scene. Tho her BJ lewd in the update remains my favorite lewd scene in the game not counting extra's or hate path I just love her eyes.

It was pretty much what I thought all along and kept telling all the people freaking out about it. But it was nice to hear it from her and see how embarrassed she was that it happened.

Yeah I never thought there was any femdom intentions behind it at all didn't feel like femdom at all to me if im being honest. I thought it was either A just a fun scene for dev's cause it feels like something you see on pornhub. Or B a reason behind it tho I didn't guess the reason you did if I recall.

 

[cowardleech]

One thing I don't particularly like is certain hot scenes like the Maggie/Table and the Jasmine/Maid roleplay.

For me, this is a sort of "jumping the shark moment" that makes the LI less interesting afterwards. In the case of the Maggie scene, it seems it's also not possible to skip it and continue flirting with her. Meh, at least the author keeps introducing new girls to keep the MC occupied with...

Agree doing fetish content (fem dom and maid outfit in this case) before any vanilla scenes feels rushed. Maggi scene was still fine for a first scene but Jasmine's felt very random/weird (unless there is some foreshadowing for the maid outfit I missed).

Let's just say they're kinda minor subplots connected to the main plot.

Agreed no main girls except Jasmine and Allie are an integral part of the "main plot".

Nah you didn't miss anything. There were no foreshadowin' or smth. That felt indeed random.

 

[Dessolos]

Yeah if im being honest out of all the lewd scenes ive seen besides the parking lot scene not sure what the other V scenes are like. I thought the Jasmine lewd scene is one of the worst ones because of the feel of it yeah it was hot and good quality when it comes to the actual sex. But the context and build up behind it honestly kind of sucked and I didn't like the maid outfit at all.

( not counting the 2 BJ's from Nat)

Veronica and Allison have the hottest lewd scenes by far, which I reckon is because MC has pre-established relations with both of them.

On a side note, does it even matter what lingerie you pick for Veronica in this scene? She always wears the red one during the hotel scene. Is it a bug or intended?

wouldn't know about V I didn't play her path as I don't find her attractive tho alot it has to do with how I just don't like her but even before I got to that point she was only okay for me.

If I would include extra scenes the Jasmine extra is the hottest one for me followed by the Allie one

The Allison one is more emotional. It should be included in the main story as flash back.

i felt like the dev said: okay okay guys, i see you all dont like it, so now Maggie will step back with it.
but hey, its a good thing. they could have ignore everyone who dont like it, but no.

I think that is definitely a possibility.

My thoughts exactly. It totally sounded like an ex machina explanation to answer the many complaints the author received. Still, you can't progress with her unless the massage scene is completed. It would have been nice if the scene in EP4 happened nevertheless with a slightly different dialogue, if the MC interrupted the massage early. From how Maggie has been described so far, she wouldn't be negatively impressed if the MC showed some modesty!

If this scene was the 3rd or 4th sex scene between Jammin and Jake, I wouldn't criticize it. I expected the first sex scene to be more emotional and soft.
Especially when Jammin kicked Jake out of the room and the next morning they acted as if nothing happened between them, I don't think it's good. I hope there will be a conversation about tonight. That way Jammin and Jake's relationship can go one level further.
I thought that after sex Jasmine would put her head on Jake's shoulder and confess that she liked him and that they would cuddle and sleep together that night.
And whatever that maid's dress is, I won't comment.
The funny thing is that Jammin will probably be more jealous, active and aggressive with Jake from now on. God help V.

If this is the case with Maggie - I hope it will be the same with V flashing scene at the pool, it was soooo out of her character

Only time I did it, I chose the red set so didn't notice. Can try a speed run through to see if I get the same thing, later today.

Are you using the current Steam build to play?

 

[Djoki996]

I mean, I don't get the whole "out of character" thing for Maggie scene, it was outright stated she's into tying her partner up in her masturbation scene. Honestly, I thought it was fairly unoffensive scene, but apparently it's too much for those dominant alpha males (bleh) that self-insert in thses.

Truth be told, by retconning her kink away, the dev removed the only thing Maggie had going for her, she's just not that interesting of a character (on her own or with her relationship with Jake) compared to Alison, Jasmine, and Alexa.

Just hope the dev doesn't take away Kris's femdom path, because we all know certain alpha's can't stand the fact that there's even an option to do it.

With Jammin I really feel like her more romance/emotional stuff will come later, she did seem to struggle a little when they kiss at the fundraiser event, It feels like her route Is more of a slow burn. She Is dating her teacher/boss/colleague, she may have some doubts before they go all in officially. She's totally worth It though!

Yes I'm using the steam build. I did a speedrun to test it out and I only got her red outfit. Seems the dev forgot they let us choose her outfit.

Some real pearls of wisdom there....

Not.

You are right. There's a few issues I noticed, after un-RPA'ing the game.

In Episode 3 Scene 6, is where you pick the lingerie outfit for V. The Dev uses three variables to track the lingerie outfit MC selects. Why 3 variables instead of 1? I have no idea.

• v3s6_lingerie_pick_1 - Sets true if you select the left lingerie set
• lingerie_pick_2 - Sets true if you select the middle lingerie set / Why is the variable name so different?
• lingerie_pick_3 - Sets true if you select the right lingerie set / Why is the variable name so different?

v "Which one of those three sets do you like the most?"
scene v3s6_8a_jake_talk with Dissolve(0.36)
j "Ummm… Well…"
#scene v3s6_6_lingerie_pick with Dissolve(0.36)
scene v3s6_6_lingerie_pick_base
call screen v3s6_lingerie_pick_buttons
screen v3s6_lingerie_pick_buttons:
    imagebutton:
    ... <snipped>
label v3s6_lingerie1:
    $ v3s6_lingerie_pick_1 = True
    ... <snipped>
    jump v3s6_lingerie
label v3s6_lingerie2:
    $ lingerie_pick_2 = True
    ... <snipped>
    jump v3s6_lingerie
label v3s6_lingerie3:
    $ lingerie_pick_3 = True
    ... <snipped>
    jump v3s6_lingerie
label v3s6_lingerie:
    scene v3s6_8c with Dissolve(0.36)
    j "This one."

It would have been simpler to set one variable(int), such as 'v3s6_lingerie_pick' and set the value to "1", "2", or "3" as appropriate.


Episode 3 Scene 11e is where you see the chosen outfit on V. There are two major issues here:

• First, the game does not check, via any means, to see which lingerie variable of the three variables was chosen. It just uses the "right hand" lingerie.
• Second, when I looked at the images, there appear to be no renders for the left or middle lingerie set in <images/episode 3/scene 11e> folder. So even if it did check to see what you picked, there's only the right hand set to display.

scene v3s11e_12b_jake_talk with Dissolve(0.36)
j "Well, you say that now, but it’s been my experience that bad times can really stress a relationship."
j "How can we be sure that doesn’t happen?"
scene v3s11e_12b with Dissolve(0.36)
v "Haven’t you been listening to me, [mc]? It’s obvious."
scene v3s11e_13 at pan_view with Dissolve(0.36)
v "You just need the right woman."
j "Holy mother of frosted flakes!"
scene v3s11e_14_veronica_talk with Dissolve(0.36)
v "You like it? I bought it for you."

Edit: fixed a missed note about the 3 variables not having consistent naming either. Two are missing "v3s6_" as the prefix
