VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.04.5] [Underground Studio]

[Seiko126]

Seriously nice game. I like all the girls but Allison is the clear favorite for me because of how their relationship is preset. The potential of recovering that dead marriage makes for a very intriguing narrative (especially in an AVN with other options) if treated with respect, which I feel it has. Jake and Allison hate passionately so you feel maybe once, they loved just the same.

With how volatile they are together in the beginning it makes you wonder what it is they even loved about each other to start with and that's what pulls you in, that genuine interest set up early on. So you're allowed to discover their romance for a first and second time simultaneously and since it's of such a personal nature with all their history you learn about them individually on the same level, flaws and all. You see a very authentic version of Jake with Allison and those sparks of chemistry which can't help but shine through despite everything that's gone wrong is captivating. Slow burn, easily the most sentimental and it feels sincere. Well done.

Wow what a game with a big update, next level compare to many games with gameplay "commentaries", surprised it hasn't been followed by more content creators. V's gone crazy mode pretty sure she'll be watching it live at some point

what content creators are there any mainstream adult game related content creators?

yeah I really that side girl but I dunno we might see her again , she mentioned she has a sister and wanted our help with her to try and get her into university. So I can see her coming down for a visit either with her sister or later if we help the sister.

Not quite, sadly. It was Vanessa who has the sister who is interested in the university, not the concierge.

ah I thought that was Vanessa as I thought I might of saw the pierced nipples through the clothes and I recall Vanessa had at least 1 pincered nipple.

Yeah, she has both done. Kinda looks close though to the concierge, even with the hint of red in the hair here. Could they be related? Probably not.

The issue is, Allie was wronged by the MC, so her treatment towards him is reasonable. She softens up after she sees his efforts after Lily's accident.

The opposite is true of V. She starts off soft, then after the accident, she presses the MC on commitment while complaining they don't spend enough time together. Not like he has more pressing issues, like earning money for his comatose daughter's treatment or anything.

I personally really hate the way the devs have written Jake out to be a complete asshole towards V when he's not reciprocating her feelings. What in the actual fuck is so hard about sitting her down, and actually telling her that he's just not ready for commitment.

Instead we have to watch him lead her on until she reaches her breaking point. And then he still acts oblivious about the whole damn thing by attempting to call her after she sends him that text.

I already shared this in the past but.. Man I fucking hate her. When I learned there is a cheating path, I tried it. At least tried to try it. But I cannot even get through the "Who cares about your vegetable daughter, why aren't you fcking me 24/7, why aren't you proposing, why aren't you paying for my 401k, why are you teaching a class that has other women than me in it?" themed abuse part of her. Fuck V. I hope she dies in the next update so that I don't have to wonder whether the only remaining "locked" parts in the gallery is worth seeing.

P.S. I normally playthrough every LIs story in literally every other game I play, it's like a FOMO for me I want to see everything a game has to offer. Even in normal games, I nearly plat almost every game I play. Missing out on an optional dialog, mission really bothers me(That's why I avoid games like bethesda games, games like no man's sky, etc. its almost impossible to truly finish). So you don't have any idea how unbearable you have to be for me to actively avoid you in a game. But holy shit I've never seen a leech like V. (It has a voldemort like effect, saying it's name is forbidden)

V for a dick-crazy cuckquean either

Honestly after that scene I wouldn't call her a cuckquean but more "Jeez woman you need years of therapy, and I understand that your previous analyst committed suicide but you can't give up like that"

 

[Bootyman92]

The MC had 3 choices:

1. Try to work on his marriage which we learn was futile
2. Divorce his wife, keep his job, perhaps have the chance of an amicable separation
3. Cheat on his wife, divorce, lose his job, have his ex-wife hate him

There are people actually arguing that choice 3 was the correct one.

Which is absolute BANALITY. What the fuck do you mean you think the nuclear option was the best one?!

Yeah, I didn't want V, but that whole sequence didn't sit very comfortably with me.

I will always prefer the option to turn down or reject a LI being gentle or at least not a 100% dick response, I have trouble with going solo route's if I like the other LI's too much because rejecting just feels bad if they're shown to be interested. I am a massive bitch when it comes to hurting even fake/virtual people's feelings to be fair.

As a self-inserter, it always feels off to me to be an asshole to women in AVNs. Sure some piss me off and I'll do whatever, but V hasn't done anything to deserve that in my eyes anyway, I didn't want her, but would have liked an option to say, something like, 'Hey we had fun, but were looking for different things, I hope you can find what you're looking for.'

OK ok, I mean you could stop playing... become a whale and influence the game in your direction.... I mean whales have really enormous dicks....

Yeah a soft, you're looking for a commitment I can't make to you right now. Let's go our separate ways. We can remain friendly.

Would've been fine given their situation. She'd still be jealous of the MC getting with other women, so you can still have fun with it from the dev's side.

 

[doovel]

I don't think the devs would have accepted that.

Personally I wouldn't support a game that way either, just throwing my support because overall I like what they're doing. Not because I want to make demands by giving them money.

even if I was a billionaire I would not tell a dev how to make their game. I just would give them a fuck ton of money to get the game done faster if they needed more PC's , pay for their bills etc etc. But I would never want to influence a game if I was a whale. Would not sit right with me at most I may make a suggestion of something id like to see but nothing beyond a suggestion.

also a dev who has some integrity wouldn't let you influence their game in any meaningful way. But thinking about it, there is certainly a dollar amount at which I personally would say fuck it But that's just me.
