Ren'Py Rebel Duet [v0.13b] [ionDivvy]

[Bugs Bunny :paranoid]

I loved the new update, waiting for more. Mc is very cute trying to protect everyone, the scene with Rena was very good, she is brave in trying to end all the vampires
I hope in the future Dev will give us more options to sacrifice or hurt himself trying to protect Val - Rena - Annestria and her sister. Games of this genre are always good to have a lot of drama, sadness, joy, etc.

Yes, I played the game. Could you please explain the significance (if any) of someone else taking her virginity instead of the main character? I genuinely don't remember. It's mentioned in the stats, but I don't recall anything beyond that.

During the threesome and also before doing with the guy in the tavern, she save it for the MC... even tho she has all the rights to do so by the MC... The game keeps track of that and let the plot with it. How is that not significant? If the MC Don't have sex with her she comment on that time to time. Also, there are options to not sex with her at all, why? Why would anyone want to skip those? these are choices given in the game for what reason? still not significant? Also, the UI? why is there a tracker for sex partners anyway?

 

[Deleted member 9027410]

There's some minor dialogue differences in some sex scenes if it's the first time for Val. But other than that, it's mostly just mentioned in Stats.

There is similar stat tracking in ionDivvy's first game (with similar minor impacts), so it's likely there partially because of that.

Not only stats but the actions too, the tavern and the threesomes action changes because of that stats. Why would she bother about her virginity that much that she skill going all the way?

 

[Deleted member 9027410]

Yeah, like I said, it has almost no significance on the story, he was just talking out of his ass.

No u are doing it. XD.. go play the game again... the 2 sex scene with others, totally have different action just because of that stat. She basically skips sex because of it. minor dialogue really?

 

[Deleted member 9027410]

Umm. You missed the part where SHE is who wants MC to be her first. You know, because of love and shit. Plus, he (or she?) probably just tastes the best to her. It is easy to just throw away the idea that even a succubus is a person with their own thoughts, feelings, and desires because she seems to be pretty down with everything. But would it really kill you to give her one thing that she wants, which is a non-negotiable for her? It would be a refreshing change of pace.

I have no problem with her wanting MC to be the first. I just don't like the forced mechanics. The game gives options just to take away in the last moment is the problem.

 

[Bugs Bunny :paranoid]

I hope the plot with Death continues. It's great to see MC giving parts of himself to the darkness, let's see what's left and if the girls will help him in the end. The game is so good I even forget that it has 18+ content
It's unmissable, each update, the MC guy/girl are both good, but I like the female MC more, everything is cuter

You clearly said there was "significance in the story", but the only changes are a few lines of dialogue in the sex scenes, so again, no real significance. But I don't care, complain all you want.

Story and Val's feelings be damned, the sharing kink takes precedence over everything for some people, which is honestly sad.

That’s why I always advocate for developers not to listen to people who demand changes to the game, you can never please everybody, and it only makes game worse in the end.

Not dialogue, the actions. NO sex because of it. She skips it with others. bro, if the sex is not that significant then why would she bother? XD

The differences are not significant to the overall story of the game. You can optionally skip essentially all the sex so far and the story of being summoned here, binding with Val, dealing with Oruth, the current vampires, etc is the exact same. If you can skip the sex entirely and get the same overall story, minor dialogue and scene variations are of even less significance.

I get that those variations are significant to you, but they aren't significant to the core story because they don't change it in any way thus far.

Yeah, I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with who takes Val's virginity, but even if ionDivvy goes along with his plan to let Lucius be the one, the previous bar sex scene will still stay the same. The only way for Val to actually go all the way is if the MC takes her virginity first, so he's still going to complain later and insist that the bar patron should have the option too.

 

[Rehwyn]

I am curious to see if there are drawbacks in the future from abstaining too much with Val. Perhaps she'll end up being too weak from low energy at some point? I know there are plans in the future for a way to push her to really embrace her power and become a bit "corrupted" with wings and whatnot. But that won't happen accidentally on the open-sharing path; you'll have to actively choose to push her that way and it'll be obvious you're making that decision from what ionDivvy has said.

 

[ionDivvy]

mc "I think you mentioned that succubi don't get pregnant from human sperm."

Was this a conversation we were supposed to have been privy to or was it supposed to have happened off-screen?

It was meant as something that occurred off-screen, but I can see why this would be confusing for players. In v0.13, I'll add a few extra lines to one of the earlier scenes where Valerie lightly mentions it.

It is commendable that you want to please your audience here in the forum, but you can't make everybody happy. The fetishes only get weirder from here, and that pit has no bottom. Tell the story as you want to tell it. Otherwise in a few weeks it will be "Why can't she shrink and crawl up MC's butthole" or "MC castration when?"

No worries - I'm not going to add anything that compromises my vision for the game.

I'm more flexible with the sexual content as long as it fits the characters and isn't something I'm actively disinterested in. It's the story itself that I really can't budge on since it's been carefully planned out from start to finish.

In this case, it's a dialogue branch of an existing scene which makes it pretty easy to implement for the players who want it.

Always found the dissonance funny between "The succubus is a sexual monster that can drain people to death and need 'sexual energy' to survive" and "don't worry, a succubus can be the MC exclusive partner with no consequences". The most "convincing" explanation usually is "The MC's dick is the Chosen One" which in turn triggers the "well, yeah, OK, it's a porn, I guess"

So, hopefully, it's tackled nicely here

I don't get it either. I know that some people are really into being cucked for some reason, I don't understand it but that's their kink I guess so more power to em. But to be so into it he's actively complaining that the MC has to get his dick wet just once. That's a new one to me. I mean, can you even consider it cuckoldry or sharing if you never consummate the relationship to begin with? Without any intimacy between the MC and Val, they're not actually in a sexual relationship at all. So at that point it's not NTR or NTS, it's just some woman you know fucking other guys.

Smh, people projecting much.
This is why we cant have nice things lol
The scene involving Lucius taking virginity should have been there already from the start.
Then its up to dev is he wants keep introducing new characters to take it.
If he doesnt, i wont hold it against him, that one should be satisfactory enough.
Dev taking feedback is a good thing and if he likes it/can implement it, why not.

This isn't feedback, this is essentially a demand, claiming "The scene involving Lucius taking virginity should have already been there from the start." and "Then its up to dev is he wants keep introducing new characters to take it. If he doesnt, i wont hold it against him, that one should be satisfactory enough." A pretty lame passive aggressive demand at that, with the veiled threat you don't consider the game "satisfactory enough" if they don't cater to your whims and allow Lucius to pop Val's cherry.

If ionDivvy wants to add this content to the game I don't really care. But I'm tired of people like you demanding devs change their game to suit your particular tastes. It's frankly annoying as fuck.

And im tired of people silencing others, like mind your own business dude.
With a choice based game, you would already expect something like this.
I think i was being fair when saying, if you add 1 scene like that, then people would be satisfied, its there for those who want.
And then its up to him if he wants to do more or not, how is that threatening.
Stop projecting dude.

the ntr route surprised me, my chest was warm, as the romance had been developing for a long time then the ntr was well done, as a fan of ntr I had a very strong orgasm, the original ntr games do not achieve this intense feeling. I'm hesitating whether to continue on the NTR path, I don't want to damage my head too much xd
I originally looked at Valerie as a girlfriend and the game is a romance game from the start and I got into that mindset.I think I'll wait a long time until the game progresses significantly. I still applaud the dev for managing to create the essence of NTR.
I think I shouldn't have chosen NTR's path, it was an intense orgasm of a few seconds but my heart is corrupted.x'd
I'll have to play Harem Hotel to purify my soul.

I have doubts about whether this will survive, since most people don't like it and are very intense.

A bit of clarification:

NTR generally stands for "netorare", which is when the romantic partner cheats on the protagonist and is "stolen" by another character. There is none of that in Rebel Duet because any sharing content is with the protagonist's knowledge and consent.

NTS or "netorase" would be more accurate if you want to use this set of terminology. This is sharing with consent of all parties involved.

Just wanted to make that clear for anyone that has not played the game and is considering it. Also note that all sharing content is completely optional.

It's the same, plus there are no other categories on this page, just "ntr." I'm also curious if she'll be completely faithful to the protagonist, if she'll only do it when the protagonist allows it, and if it's true that she's happy because the protagonist is happy. But look at the dev comment above, which says she won't explore these fetishes, so it'll be a "romantic" sharing, with no further exploration.

It doesn't matter if it's optional, there are people who don't understand that, they are very intense, they have even caused other devs to abandon their ideas.
