VN Ren'Py Rave [Ep.1 v0.1.1] [onemc]

[Xythurr]

Hey guys. I'm happy that Rave making some sparks already!

As I dove into the discussion, I couldn’t help but chime in

About the MC:
He's loosely based on me. I figured that was a safe bet—he's not a model, not based on anyone who might come after me for rights, and definitely not some Greek demigod. I wanted him to be like solid 5.5/10? Maybe it’s just the early renders giving off the wrong vibe. (The latest demo has updated all the renders with the MC and more, so it should look better now.)

About the Shirt:
That shirt says a lot ( supposed to ) — he had access to money, maybe acts like a bit of a primadonna, but after departure he never had any real friends to keep him grounded or call him out.
Don’t worry though — someone like Moni wouldn’t even let her own mama ride a bike wearing a shirt like that (she’d call it a clown shirt), let alone some random guy.

Some of the typos, etc., well spotted! Thank you! /\ Fixing it as we speak.


Some copy-pasta about what Rave:


This is Episode 1, kicking off a larger narrative already written through Episode 8. It’s a slower, more character-focused beginning—designed to let you feel every beat, every misstep, and every spark of chemistry.

Despite the introduction of casual side girls and way more lewd content in upcoming episodes.

Rave uses sex scenes as a natural extension of character relationships—emotional climaxes, turning points, or entanglements. The focus remains on storytelling, growth, and meaningful choices.

Right now Moni looks like this in-game:

The most up-to-date version is always on Patreon, so it might be worth redownloading the demo for updated MC renders and other improvements.

Anyway I'm off to fixing in-game stuff If you liked the game, consider supporting, rate, review - it's lot of work ngl.

Feel free to throw anything at me. While it might not be realistic in the long run, so far I’ve worked in 100% of the feedback.


BTW, here’s what to expect in Episode 2:

• Free-roam party (no clicking tho)
• A new love interest
• A new side girl - MILF
• Faster pacing & more lewd content
• The real story will slowly begin to unfold

Thank you for trying out the game!

"Not a porn game, not a vanilla game... Then what tf is it? // I don't know... Just Rave... "

Hey man I was just pokin fun at ya. The models look great and I'm an ugly bastard myself so it's better the MC be based on you than an old steelworker like me. I'll be watching the game with great interest!

 

[onemc]

what is that even mean? Cuck and cuckquean some thing.Cuckquean I wouldn’t call it cuckoldry…

You're right it's not very clear. How about candaulism (girl perspective) instead?

 

[MiltonPowers]

About the hair:

Do you wanna laugh at my expense? Check this:
RL MC vs IG MC

View attachment 5010556

See that wishful thinking about the hairline? )
PS: NOT related to what MC carries in his pants. I just made 5 examples a took what most girls I know liked the most ^^

Also, Moni is barber, no?

Neither hair is anything to Rave about.

I don't know why, but in my mind I read it with Chibs voice from Sons of Anarchy xD

I would totally upvote this but I somehow for the first time reached my reaction limit today lol.

 

[Dark Silence]

MC? Never, but some girl might enjoy seeing MC with other girl? No spoilers tho

Ok. I'll give this a go. Thanks for responding.

 

[onemc]

That all reminds me..

if you don't like anything about the game... don't think - throw it to my face
99% of times I'll get on it right away.

Dev, my butt.. I'm making it to play it Want it to be best it can be.

1st time I see a dev who want his ass being kicked if player aren’t happy usually it’s the opposite.

My opinion, which matters only to me, is whatever kinks you want to add, just give the player options to accept or avoid them. If the player decides to avoid them, then they never happened and shouldn't be brought up later as if they did happen. But that's just my 2cents. But whatever you want to write, you should. Don't let anyone tell you not to. It's your game, do it your way.

Hey, just wanted to ask a few things. You mentioned: 'Free-roam party (no clicking tho)' — what exactly does that mean?

Is the game going to be sandbox, point-and-click, RPG, strategy, or something else?

Also, in another comment you said: 'Think of BADIK—but with far less prostitution (maybe just a little?)' — so should we assume this is going to be a sandbox-style game?

About the planned tags: are they going to be avoidable or skippable? (For example: voyeurism, BDSM, free-roam(including all types), prostitution, lesbian, etc.)

That’s why we’re asking about planned tags early — so we can decide whether it's our type of game or not. If it doesn’t match our preferences, we’ll move on, and it’ll save both your time and ours. Plus, you won’t have to explain things later about content that some players may not enjoy.

Free roam in Rave like in other VNs means you find yourself in a closed environment—let’s say, a house. You’ll have the choice to explore it, choose which characters to interact with, and if you revisit places or characters, they might not be there anymore. Some choices or comibinations can trigger events for example. (example you can try to have some scene with every girl or none) Everything is controlled only through a game choice menu. (Cause I hated clicking around in some VNs )

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a sandbox—just for occasional skippable free roam events, though.

I'm putting in extra effort to make almost everything skippable, and sometimes going further by including post-choice moments where the MC can express whether they enjoyed the situation or not (with a comment and fitting music). This isn’t just for tone, but also to influence future situations.

Some things that will be skippable in future episodes aren’t skippable in the current version (like the visit to Zoe's dorm), simply because it's a significant portion of playtime—even storming out is.

Hey, thanks for the detailed info, just to check — when you say scenes are skippable, does that mean the event still happens in the story, just offscreen?

I’m mainly asking because I’m not into some fetishes, and just skipping the scene isn’t really enough if it still "canonically" happened. I'd prefer if those paths could be fully avoided.

Also, are the free roam parts completely optional too? I’m not a fan of that style, so being able to skip them would be great.

 

[Old Man Al]

Just tried it and it definately is on the better side of games here. Would rate it 3,5/5 right now, but it has a lot of potentional.

Thank you, for checking it out. Might worth checking latest version on Patreon / Itch / Oppai. It has fixes and reworked reders (mc neck thing). I'll work harder. Atliest 1,5/5 more

If you decide to skip some events, it won't happen - you alter timeline and future events will reflect that.

About the free-roams. Some skippable or/and some probably have initial scene and the you can leave early. I'm not a big fan if it's draggy and unclear what to do. I'll do my best to prevent that.

Alright, that makes sense — appreciate the clarification about the scenes being fully skippable from the timeline.

As for free roam, I’ll trust your approach. Just personally hoping it won’t be too central since that style’s not really my thing — but I’ll wait and see how it plays out.

Good luck with the development — looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

First release and already the paths are twisted?
i just stormed out and thought almost offensive.
An option "Fuck off rapist" should be here.

In the end, I made it so that Zoe wouldn't dare to text MC if he storms out. Thank you for pointing it out /\

Yeah, the LIs are all a bit ... special.

You got the rapist.
Then the one who thinks having a nice conversation consists of her doomscrolling on her phone and thinks she's cool by smoking in a closed room with other people (and I say this as a smoker myself).
And lastly, the one who's on the rebound.

You are 100% right. One of the points of the bar scene is that MC being him at that moment thought that all girls were after him "This is soo EZ." Only to discover later that all the girls had their own agendas. But nothing went exactly as the girls wanted as well...

There is one director who inspires me. (And I'm not suggesting I'm on the level of sock of his assistant here). The quote is "Whatever you decide is in that briefcase. That's your movie." I'm not explaining much in the game. There's no narrator, no MC inner voice. However you choose to see it, that's your game. What I choose to believe for Zoe for example is that if you choose her while talking to Olie, he will do "some of that wingman shit" while you talk to Moni. And Zoe will actually like you and will hate what's about to go down. If not, reality will hit her hard. btw: this scene will become important for the story later If you choose it. (will be fully skippable)

Just wanted to point out that they might need a special kind of guy (the one who's willing to stick his dick in trouble).

A question regarding the MC though: I'm playing him as full of shit, because I initially thought that was the setup.
Maybe I just missed something though?
Wasn't the MC sent to live and work with his relatives? Why does he even need to crash at one of the girls'?
If that wasn't just him bullshitting, did his aunt just put him into a taxi and sent him into the middle of another city with nothing but his shirt on his back, a couple hundred bucks to his name and nowhere to sleep?

I'll just say that this topic is priceless for me

I initially wanted to leave further clarification of this out (until around Ep4).
Because yes! That's exactly what I meant when I said, "That's your game."


So let's work with this:
Kicked out? Yes. She sent him to her relative.
So yes, he could have ended up with Cruela, who wanted a free worker.
But he didn’t really have time to react—Olie stole him away to the pub.
He talks about it a bit more with Skye.


To wrap it up: the MC is not exactly in the driver’s seat of his life.

Now, he might just want to bullshit his way through it—hook up with as many girls as possible and not care about anything.
Or maybe it’s something else. Maybe it’s one of the other possibilities - Up to you.

Either way, I’ll work hard to make things come together no matter in what persepctive you decide to play.

With that being said.
For me the big thing is how characters evolve and that goes for MC as well.

(Man, this is so hard to write without spoilers )


Let’s see what happens next.


Thank you for playing and taking an interest!
