VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Ep. 3.2 Extra] [Underground Studio]

[Garen]

Finally got around to playing the update. It was fantastic. Both updates felt big with tons of stuff happening but the upload time is killing me. The races are simple and fun. I wouldn't mind if the gear numbers remained in order but with more gear shifts during the scene. Maybe without hints on what gear to go down to etc.

Ex-wife is still top priority. Things are going smooth. Too smooth even. I loved that bit where he goes "Do you think I'm a manwhore or something?!" and she just gave him an incredulous look. I explored the routes and some of the fights and jabs in the 'Neutral' path are really fun but it looks like I'm deep in the 'Good' path with my choices.
Any scene with Jasmine is a delight. A true blue tsundere especially in her kiss scenes.

Wonderfull game I finally took up again after EP2. Had to restart but it was worthwhile as the added content and "rewiring" so to say gave some more flavor. Also like that some chars develop a bit slower to enjoy (esp. Jasmin as it fits better in the concept of Prof. and student). Well one can see different but I like it. Only think I in general dont like are the cliffhangers at the end as it always take up some time until the next episode comes out (natural as it takes its time) so they are kind of killing my good mood.
But in general very nicely scripted sofar with a nice idea of a story and char types. Realy like it.

There is something on my mind; I'll put it on spoiler
There is something between Veronica and William, because in ball, Ian Freely says something strange if anyone notice.

If you imply on anything sexual with "something" im pretty sure youre wrong. william is gay and has a husband and shes like ultra obsessed with the mc. But i actually never took her to the ball, care to explain what Freely says?

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, the date of my surgery will be rescheduled. I've been sick for about two weeks now, and just a week ago when I had a fever I called the hospital where I was supposed to have the surgery. They informed me that at least two weeks should pass between any infection and the surgery. I was hoping to receive a new surgery date from them this week to inform you all but unfortunately I haven't received a new date yet. I will write another post once I get information from the hospital. I'm not happy about this and I really wanted to get it over with ASAP but it will still be some time before that happens.

In the meantime, I managed to do renders for one scene for Episode 3 Part 1! There are 8 scenes in Part 1 but as it always turns out - one is larger and the other is shorter. In this Part I have two larger scenes ahead of me - one is, as usual, a racing scene, and the other is a date with one of the love interests, for those who are on her path. I don't want to spoil any more…

I hope the production of this update goes smoothly but it depends a lot on my surgery. But anyway, I'll keep you informed, for now, keep your fingers crossed!

Few words from Joshua

On the scripting side, there is not a whole lot to talk about except to say the scripting is going well. There has been a bit of refinement on episode 3.1 as well to keep the story a little tighter than the past couple of releases. Generally that's the way I write anyway—put in a lot of lines and then cull afterwards.

Episode 3.2's script is progressing along nicely, I'm in the middle of a lewd scene at the moment that I think will be a big hit for people who subscribe to the idea that 'two is company, but three is a party'. Oh, who is in it? Well I think that'll be kept under wraps for the moment. I think it'll be more fun for people to discover that as the game progresses.

Writing lewd scenes is always a weird kind of experience. Too much dialogue and it becomes a weird sort of verbal diarrhea, too little and it loses all sense of passion, and if it's just filled with <grunt> and <moan> it just seems weird, at least to me. It's definitely something that takes some effort, especially with how it integrates with the renders. I've been writing a bit of stuff for Ham lately, so I've been using this playlist to help set the mood for him. He's a grumpy old bastard most of the time, but he does have a huge soft spot for his little Jammin, which makes him an interesting character to try and bring to life. I see him as sort of a cross between Nigel Mansell and Joe Cabot from Reservior Dogs.

The story starts with Jake, Allison, and Lily. So it will only be fitting to finish the story with them living happily ever after

Seeing Allison going from the most hated when the game came out to multiple people hoping to reconnect with her, fills me with joy.

regarding Camille, the devs should be very careful with innuendos and voyeurism scenes, as this is an NTR in disguise, and anything that makes an impression like that, where the MC is put in the background, can destroy the game. I say this from experience, I've seen several games that followed this path and ended up in the hole, I hope this case is different.

 

[Joshy92]

I'm glad Allison is a love interest
Not many games give the player the option to try and work things out with an ex
At least from what I have played

Allison is definitely the star for me
All these other girls can't compete against her
She needs lots of love

To add

She is also a very intelligent woman . Taking her to that fancy party really sold her well.

I was worried ( in chp1) that we had an overly angry ex wife as the "antagonist lite" type but she is far from it and the wife at the party really sells the MC being the bad guy as far as their family/ex relationship was damaged due to his weaknesses.

Gonna play devil's advocate here.

I agree with the first section of your post completely, she's a great character, smart, intelligent and someone who also helped the MC's career.

However, depending on choices made, there is a conversation between them outside the house where he asks her how much affection did you show me in the last 5 years? She doesn't answer this (rather tellingly). We also know (albeit from the MC himself) the cheating was a one-time thing. He hardly a serial womaniser with 'weaknesses'. So sure, he cheated, that's wrong, but the MC of the story (not us remember) believes he was justified...somewhat. So yes she is pissed and blames him...and rightly so...but she also understands she drove him to it. It seems to me, reading between the lines, that she very much went frigid after the birth.

Not saying either is right or wrong, but there are usually always reasons why someone cheats...it's not always because they are a piece of crap with no feelings. Because of this, the constant bitching and snide comments from her actually annoys me somewhat, even if they are understandable in context (and what usually happens in real life as people rarely if ever admit to their own shortcomings). Do I like her character now after this second release? Yes, very much so, is she completely blameless and everything falls on the MC? No...Should the MC have left instead of cheating? Sure...but that's not the story we have or what he did.

Just nope. Jake never said that he thinks its justified. He excuses his cheating and gives reason for why it happened (like you explained with the lack of intimacy). And no she doesnt understand that she "drove" him to it, what kind of bullshit take is that?

And imo it was less about being frigid and more about both of them not makeing time for each other and priotising other parts of their lifes. And while Allison was confrontative about their issues (which leads to either solutions or an end of the relationship), Jake prefered to avoid/suppress their issues and instead did hide in the garage not even trying to tackle their problems due to conversation.

If you think your relationship lacks intimacy/sexlife you talk about the issue with your partner. If it doesnt work, you break up and look for women who give you what you need while still being able to have a normal(friendly) relationship with the mother of your child. These are solutions.

Cheating isnt a solution. Cheating only creates more problems. Cheating with a coworker of both yours and your wife is even worse, and the worst is when everyone in your company knows about it because your affair is a fucking golddigger or something like that.

Not saying either is right or wrong, but there are usually always reasons why someone cheats...it's not always because they are a piece of crap with no feelings. Because of this, the constant bitching and snide comments from her actually annoys me somewhat, even if they are understandable in context (and what usually happens in real life as people rarely if ever admit to their own shortcomings). Do I like her character now after this second release? Yes, very much so, is she completely blameless and everything falls on the MC? No...Should the MC have left instead of cheating? Sure...but that's not the story we have or what he did.

Nobody says Jake is a peace of crap with no feelings. Nothing is black and white and humans do stupid stuff from time to time. But its fairly easy to say cheating is wrong no matter the circumstances. Its ALWAYS better to break up instead if you cant work it out. There are no excuses for cheating and even less when youre cheating on a woman who gave you a child and obviosuly considers you as their soulmate.

Im completly sure with reversed roles (aka allison cheated on jake with a workmate because he didnt pounded her enough) you wouldnt consider it "somewhat" fair game of her to cheat with a workmate of jake.

And jake in this situation would be entirely entitled to being utterly pissed about her destroying their life together and the humiliation of all his workmates knowing about his wife being fucked by someone else in the company.

I even feel like shes too forgiving (if we look at it realsitic and not like a avn li, letting him sleep at her place and missing him after a betrayal like that).

In short: Cheating is never excusable. Jake was too weak to tackle his problems in a proper manner like either telling his wife what he wants and expects for their relationship or breaking up. Hiding in the garage instead of solving your problems and hoping they are just gonna vanish .. yeah no .. thats not how a man behaves.

Excited for this

 

[Fapparition]

I'm kind of saddened by the ball event. Despite the fact that Natalya is the most obvious and logical choice the event is also a huge push for relationship with LI of your choosing. Which forces you to make an inconvenient decision
