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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Natalya describes it quite good:

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.

 

[doovel]

Of course the marriage falling apart is probably on both of them, thats how its usually is.

Yet it seemed like allie went for the confrontation to adress their problems while Jake ducked away, closed his eyes and just prayed for divine intervention. And i dont know, maybe im oldschool but hes the man, take care of your fucking relationship or end it when your wife seems unable to divorce you/break up. So i would at least give it a 60/40 towards allie but it doesnt really matter.

Its okay to not work anymore after a time in a relationship but even than its just not okay to cheat before ending it.

Yeah the hatefuck is awesome, i just dont like the aftermath at all. I will never understand people claiming allie is prude when shes obviously a wildcat with her man lol. The wedding night extra scene was hot too



By the way as im always trashtalking Veronica, im playing a cheating on Veronica route atm for completion and i have to admit that her cuckquean path is kinda funny and hot!

View attachment 4345409

Funnily enough if it was me in this situation I would also label it a 60/40 split. But as an outsider I can't really fault them unequally, especially not when there's a kid in the mix. I could see myself making the same mistake of not addressing problems in the relationship if I saw it hurting my kid. Granted I wouldn't let it get nearly as bad for as long as the MC did.

On the aftermath, the fallout might be bad *for now*. I could see that shifting in the future, depending on if and how the MC grows as a person. She might shift her opinion of him too.

Well damn, I might have to try that Cuckqueen path myself now. Something to look forward to.

My list is basically yours but flip Jasmine and Maggie. I'm a sucker for redheads and ponytails.

only difference between your list and mine I put V in the same column as Alexa, Kris might make her way there soon I started to dislike Kris more in this update with how she responds if you turn down the threesome.

My list is basically yours but flip Jasmine and Maggie. I'm a sucker for redheads and ponytails.

That's how I used to rank Maggie and Jas but this update made me like Maggie more

I mean Maggie is good, sometimes a bit too damsel in distress-y, but enjoyable. Looks after MC when Lily has the accident.

I feel going into the future there will be a lot more Jas. She's in his class, works on the project, shares common interest in racing.

I don't think she'll budge Allison from top spot though

 

[Zorro#34]

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

Since we're doing it then, my pre-3.2 rankings:

Okay, here's mine. I might be a V advocate, but she actually isn't my #1.

1. Maggie. Face and soul of an angel. One of my favourite models in all AVNdom, and #8 in my Top-10 rating across all games. However, Jake isn't the best guy for her and, when around her, he doesn't feel like himself. So, she isn't my 'canonical' choice.
2. Veronica. I just love how she looks at Jake… among other things.
3. Allison. Probably my favourite character and person in the game, but as a LI, she falls flat to me. I just don't think she should ever completely forgive Jake for what he did.
4. Jasmine. I like her dialogue, she can be hilarious sometimes… But otherwise completely not my type of gal.
5. Natalya. I hope she's a spy and will turn out an antagonist unless the player focuses on her and converts her with Jake's magic cock. Otherwise she loses a lot as a character, even if that makes her a somewhat better LI.

HM: Alexa. I still think she would look more logical as Jake's lab assistant while Jasmine could just be his racing partner. She's the A student, c'mon...
