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

[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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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

You wanna marry both?

 

[TonyMurray]

F Jasmine
M Allison

[TheNowhereWolf]

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

I fuck Natalya/Jasmine (I guess I'm entitled to put both, there is even a 3some ingame at the sauna already )
I marry Maggie
I kill both Veronica/Allison because they make it a fresh start much harder in this game story .

You can choose only one girl for each. It is the rule.

Dang it ok, have to change marry too then hehe.

I fuck Jasmine
I marry Natalya (Yes I'm weird, marriage with Nat would be less drama due to her personality imo, at my age is what I'm after, drama less relationships)
I kill Allison

1. Wild Hate fucking Allison..
2.I marry sweetheart Maggie..
3.I kill ginger disease sufferer Jasmine in the grossest way..

 

[anonnyscouse]

Fuck Jammin, she simply isn't marriage material even if she is best girl.
Marry Maggie, it didn't work with Allison previously so no reason to believe it'd be better second time around, you can't have a stable relationship with a spy and as said above Jammin ain't wifey material.
Kill Veronica, don't really need to give a reason for that, at least not without enraging certain people in this thread who will unleash countless irrelevant essays as to why I'm wrong.

 

[MagicMan753]

Marry: Allison- Close tie with Jas, but slightly wins out for marriage.
Fuck: Jasmine- Tied for best girl, if I could marry Allison and her I would in a heart beat.
Kill: Cooper- then console Cammie and steal her.

 

[MiltonPowers]

Fuck: Nat
Marry: Maggie
Kill: Jasmine
