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

[Krytax123]

To be honest, the devs made all of the LIs quite flawed, (which in itself is good writing), I think V's stands out because she is forced upon us and heavily weighted in the beginning.

V is insecure, jealous and clingy.
Allie is bitchy and grudgy (i know it's not a word, but she can hold a grudge).
Nat is made out to be an evil spy (whether she is one or not, we are suspicious of her motives)
Jasmine is immature, bossy and overly flirty.
And Maggie seems too nice, so they had to throw a hint of femdom in there. (With possibly more flaws to be revealed).

All of them, except maybe Maggie, have a lot of growing to do as people, which fits the story because so does MC. I'm looking forward to seeing the LIs develop alongside the MC.

Yeah and i think its awesome, makes all of them feel way more like real characters.

But considering how Maggie seems to became the favorite of everyone as a LI, im maybe alone with that perspective

I wouldnt notice in other avns as its more or less the norm but for me Maggie kinda stands out negatively as she barely feels like a real character at this point to me, its like shes too good/flawless (and esp for our MC lol).

But shes kinda strange, shes like super careing and supporting without any expectations for more or less no reason other the mc being attractive to her. Otherwise we know she has a sick stepdad, strange family dynamics, is from canada and was a masseuse and thats all.

She doesnt seem to know anyone but her mom (who she doesnt really know anymore) and her dog and just feel kinda disconnected and a bit bland.

Sounds like i dont like her but shes my #2 or #3 here but i kinda hope for more interesting stuff in the future. Her connection to everything due to freely alone always seemed kinda far-fetched and only there for plot without hiding it enough kinda.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. She is my favorite, and while the others have these raging flaws, Maggie seems like the perfect wife material, then they threw in the light femdom stuff. I'm hoping and believe that there is going to be something more than that.

You all are not depraved enough!

I am! I mean... I just fapped to Vanessa a couple of minutes ago.

Good boy! But this is vanilla behavior here on f95!
To become depraved you have to do something more spicy!
You could e.g. lick Joshys sperm from the ground to clean it properly or lick the hobos cum out of Joshys girlfriend and feed Joshy with it.... you know, not the things you want to do now...

Ehh.. no, thank you. Joshy's fetishes are too insane for me.

As I said, not deprived enuf....

The most depraved thing I can do is eating Jasmine's ass...

 

[Just Jericho]

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

I don't really see any of that situation as Jake leading Veronica on at all. She knew his marital situation and they both agreed on the state of their relationship (casual). 3 months later, she wants a change in the relationship but he does not... Then she unilaterally decides that she's his girlfriend even if he doesn't agree to changing the relationship and gets super catty when another woman appears to align more with his interests.

So I don't think he lead her on at all. She's just being clingy, insecure, and fairly toxic imo.

 

[GokutheG]

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.

This is the dev's way of showing that the mc is an asshole before we start playing the game and part of why the marriage fell apart. I'm not sure if it's explicitly said in game but I think the mc knew V was into him and wanted to be his gf after his divorce and he decides to get with her because he felt it was easy to string her along.

Part of the theme of the game is whether he remains an asshole or if he can change for the better.

I love Jasmine an absolutely unhealthy amount a fair bit but the ass Is a no go for me, even with her.

If it makes you feel any better, if V became too much for everyone this release, start a new playthrough and always choose against her. Somewhere in there is a choice or combo thereof that makes her have to take some time for herself to think about things, or whatever. Frankly I forgot she was in the game until reading the posts here because after I chose not to go on a walk or whatever with her last playthrough she texts back saying "its not you, its me... no it was you" and I never heard from her again.

When I first played this game I was annoyed with having a pre-existing relationship, but sometimes thats not always bad. However it quickly became very clear that I had to end it with how she was reacting to the students fawning over the MC. I hope all of you who accidentally went further with her are provided with a means to exit the relationship, now that it sounds she's gone full possessive and jealous.

It's called falling in love, dude. And that can happen, even in a casual relationship with no strings attached. And it alludes back to my original point: why continue to lead someone on when you can clearly see they want the more you're not ready to give? Outside of her path, Jake just looks like someone who's keeping her around for easy bums, and that's pretty shitty to do, no matter how you look at it.

Jake himself mentions that she sees something in him, alluding to the best part of him, which she obviously sees and wants to be a part of. Is she perhaps a little bit too territorial? Kinda, but with Jammin consistently making it a point to get under her skin, I don't blame her. Imagine if Jake had to deal with a young, handsome college student/ faculty member making passes at V, just to get to him.

 

[Dabi22]

Loving this story a lot. Becoming excited more on the race scene instead of the sex scenes

 

[Bootyman92]

Discourse aside, that threesome scene with Kris and Alexa? Damn!

"Daddy wants a threesome, baby!"

 

[jadepaladin]

Am I the only one that's sad we may never see this absolute smokeshow again...

View attachment 4390249

I hope we do. I would have rather had a lewd scene with her than Vanessa.

 

[Steuan]

We keep talkin' about same things over and over again...

Do you guys know the famous Fuck, Marry, Kill game?

Lets play it.

I fuck Allison
I marry Jasmine
I kill Veronica

I have to be boring and say same. I could go either way with Allison and Jasmine.

 

[Steuan]

I could go either way with Allison and Jasmine.

You wanna marry both?

 

[TonyMurray]

F Jasmine
M Allison
K Natalya (actually, K Alexa, but I am only going on what I see as "main girls" for my answers)

 

[TheNowhereWolf]

Fuck: Maggie.
Marry: Jasmine .
Kill: Alexa. Not a main girl but it gives me a decent excuse.
