Nah cmon now I actually like Veronica she is a must need for every new episode
QFT! She's one of the more real characters in the game. You can tell the author has someone in mind when writing her part. Now that we have a possible cucking path opening up, who knows? The cheating Veronica path could become something more depraved, especially for the personality- playthrough.

If a game has porn it it, it's a porn game... Unless you can tell us that an extreme close up shot of Jake's cock going balls deep into Natalya's cunt is about anything other than fap material, then I don't know what to tell you dude... :ROFLMAO:

I mean by your definition, this movie was also not a porn because the "main theme" was about pirates:

So this is something you're wrong about, brother. Race of Life has a fantastic story and great characters. It is also undeniably porn media.
im a believer in it depends entirely on your own POV if it's porn or not I don't care if it is technically by definition. Despite having sex scenes in it to me that doesn't automatically = porn. I'd personally classify this game somewhere in the middle cause it feels more story than porn to me but it's hard to deny scenes like the Veronica parking alot and most of Nat's scene + Extra's feel more like porn to me. But id say most of the scenes in this game do not count as such for me. Tho seeing how things are speeding up in the lewd department I can see that opinion of mine changing for this game.

I mean, can any of you even imagine a narrative where mc had split with his wife, their daughter was in an accident and hospitalized, and mc through choices could either try and make up with the wife or push her away...... but in nearly all cases the wife was having massive amounts of sex on the side with others....
Wait, did that happen in this game? In which path?

But of course I can imagine it, it's not so distant to real life shit. Almost every woman fucks much more than she lets know, if she says 1 it's more probably 5 and if she says 5, then she fucked E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. at once.

I couldn't play 3.2 yet but until now, I liked how Veronica is caring, understanding, wants a deep, long term relationship and keeps a positive attitude, even with a man who was openly not serious about getting into a relationship. I don't care if she might be like that out of desperation to find a suitable husband before hitting the wall (like if a woman like that could be desperate in any universe or alternative reality lol), she is acting great for a positive relationship.

I'm so full of demons from Hell who are hell-bent on making your life a hellish inferno that I could live with a few sincere smiles.

New here, never been this engrossed since the big two and Artemis, holy shit is this one good. How often does the dev do logs and update the game?
Wellcum to the RoL! :lepew:

The devs have released the updates every 8 or 9 months so far. But this will prolly change. :HideThePain:

As you can see, ACT II is going to be the longest one. So I think updates will come once a year from now on. :Kappa:

Well, it doesn't say the updates will be the "longest to develop", it just says the middle arc will be the longest. So it could be that it's 5 of the estimated nine or ten episodes making up the middle arc, for example. That's not to say though that it can't mean longest to develop, and it could mean both.

Well maybe but it is just a matter of organize and plan correctly, an episode can be cut in 2 or even 3 so the gap in between the updates get shorter, of course you don't get all the episode in one update but IMHO it is better than some other games that plan an enormous (not to say ridiculous) amount of renders and animations like 7k+ renders and 200+ animations and you wait over 1 year for it (we all know what game I'm talking about) and that works if they have a lot of support from patreons/subscribers, even if they lose some of the more impatient subscribers during development they still have enough revenue to make a good quality update product. Not every developer has that luxury so they better plan according to the fidelity of their paying supporters.

Man... I hope you're right but I really don't think so. There're at least 6 different paths in the game so far... and the paths for Patricia, Kalani, and Tiana haven't even started yet. :WeSmart:

True. They may split future updates into 2 or 3 parts to shorten the time between them. But even so, I don't think there will be more than one update per year. The plot is so thicc for that now, if you know what I mean. :LUL:

I mean those are more or less side paths right so I don't see them needing alot of work especially Patricia others probably a bit more.

Tiana is indeed a side-girl, but I don't think the same for Patricia and Kalani. Especially for Kalani. She'll has screen time as much as the other main girls like Natalya or Maggie... and for Patricia... If she's a FBI agent or something her path will be big like Kris's! :lepew:

Has anything been said about Patricia, or is that just speculation about her having a path? I've not seen anything, but I've not been around the game long enough for that to mean anything, so it's a genuine question.

No? I mean, AFAIK the devs haven't said anything about Patricia yet, but here look at their patreon banner.

If she won't have her own path, then why did they put her there? :WeSmart:

Btw, I'm not saying she's a MG lol but it so obvious that she and Tiana will have their own "sexy adventures" with Jake like Alexa and Kris. :BootyTime:

And you're saying that despite Tiana not being in the image? :LOL:

No, I suggest there may well be some adventures, but it also wouldn't surprise me if there are none, and she's just eye candy at the races. and being part of a banner image doesn't necessarily mean anything when it's a varied group like this.

With a top 5 like you have, this should easily slip into your top 10. It's gotten better with each update so far.

But id say most of the scenes in this game do not count as such for me. Tho seeing how things are speeding up in the lewd department I can see that opinion of mine changing for this game.
If one defines "Porn" by ignoring the conventional definition of pornography and saying that it's simply a matter of how good you subjectively feel the "main theme" of the story is, then I can't agree with that .... That's an opinion-based argument not a fact-based one, and it's not convincing in the slightest.

The fact is that Race of Life undeniably meets the definition of pornographic media because it includes depiction of explicit sex acts for the express purpose of causing sexual arousal. It includes lots of it, in fact. And unless someone can tell me that there is another reason for showing a close-up shot of Jake's dick punching Natalya's cervix, then I think it's quite accurate to say the scene was expressly designed to elicit sexual arousal. That's not based on my made-up definition, that's a standard definition consistent with many sources ( , , , , , , etc...)

So if a certain someone is going to jump on someone else for calling it a porn game and declare "your assumptions about this being a porn game are wrong", I think they should at least try to support that with a standard, widely accepted definition of "Pornography" instead of using their own completely subjective personal definition as a source of truth...

Personally I'd say that yes, Race of Life absolutely is a Porn Game or a "Porn VN" but it's a story-driven one. If you heavily censored Race of Life by taking away all the porn scenes and replaced them with completely PG interactions, then I think Race of Life could still hold up quite well as a story... if perhaps distinctly less fun for degenerates like me. But the very inclusion of those highly explicit sex scenes like the close-up shots of Natalya's aforementioned doinking is what qualifies Race of Life as a porn game because those scenes wouldn't be there except for sexual entertainment purposes. Race of Life simply raises the bar of story-driven porn games, but that doesn't make it stop being porn.

Also, I don't believe that having a good story and being pornographic are in any way mutually exclusive... unless of course, one is fallaciously trying to convince themselves that their favorite game isn't porn because they "don't play porn games". Porn can absolutely have fantastic storytelling, which is a niche that AVNs fill spectacularly. Honestly its the marriage of porn and storytelling why I love AVNs so much. It's porn media that involves stories and characters that I can give a shit about which makes the porn even hotter.
