VN Ren'Py Reconnections [v0.05] [Viitgames]

[Prokopije]

In every AVN, the developers are telling a story. It's the story THEY want to tell. If they wish, they can offer choices which affect the progress of that story. But they are limited by time and resources as to how diverse those choices can be.

The developers of Haley's Story had their story to tell, and they told it, while offering players options for multiple routes all while following the general narrative of the story. They made choices as to what MUST be in their story in order to maintain their intent and keep the game from becoming unmanageable. They had no duty to satisfy all the wishes of all the people who played their game.

There is no game on F95 (to my knowledge) which has every part of the story changeable by a player. So by your logic, every single game on F95 is a kinetic novel.

To my knowledge (again), the only game that allows the player to make decisions on everything that player does or faces is the game of life itself. Even then, some things are forced on the player that allow no choice. I'm pretty sure that the person who dies of a stroke did not make that choice intentionally.

It's not like that, otherwise I would have no game to play, but I have more than 300 on my watch list.
I don't want freedom to make literally every decision and to make full scale custom story, just those related with who MC have sex. When said "kinetic", it refers to a game which have mandatory sexual content, or have just fake and/or cosmetic choices.
Some devs (also limited with time and resources) "separate" their story from sex, so you don't have "must be" sexual scenes "for the purpose of progressing the story". But it's ok, I guess it's not possible for all devs to be gifted or willing enough to manage more than just basic kinetic/semi kinetic story.
As for Haley, I don't know what dev wanted to accomplish, but "must be" didn't even went with a story. After a bunch of "bad" choices where they're distant and cold to each other, all of sudden seeing them sweettalking and cuddling in the bad was like... I don't know, two bipolar people who just switched from one phase to another...
Also, of course devs don't have "duty" to satisfy us all, I'm not expecting every game on here to fit into my needs and desires, that's why I enquired, not "demanded". You know, all those "certain crusaders" and their rants & tantrums... aaaah dev, remove this or no one will play your game... dev, remove that or I will never support you etc.
Last part of the post is debatable. I mean, if person ate two kilos of fried chicken per day... Even person who's wiped out by a sudden speeding car on a marked crosswalk had "choice" never to go that way. At the end, even growing old and dying of old age is not mandatory... Every each one of us is free to find "cure" for that and live forever

What are the planned tags?
incest? harem? NTR?

What are the planned tags?
incest? harem? NTR?

I think we can absolutely rule out incest and NTR.

It would take quite a rewrite-patch to turn this game into one with incest. Plus, I believe the team has reluctantly turned away from incest after all their problems with Patreon's dictates. They do have a SubscribeStar page, but if the release from there is any different than the one from Patreon, someone else will have to say. My guess is no.

As for NTR? This team of developers (Viitgames, Ptolemy, LikesBlondes) has never made an NTR game, and I don't think they'll start now.

Harem? Possible, but wait and see.

well haley was incest story (with patch), brat wasn't (besides belle munching auntie) and it wouldn't have made sense to even be ic-story (not that it'd had stopped ic-lovers).

have to habitually look at history to read the story because of the white/light pink text on white/light color backgrounds....the renders are nice, but have not gotten past giving Christina flowers because you have to constantly go back and forth between history and game. change text color or put it in a box that contrasts

press a and change things there, maybe that helps.

 

[Allan Wolf]

The first impression I had was that this would be a game prone to incest (with a patch), it seems I was wrong.
Anyway, I wish the developer good luck.

Nice start but the text needs to be a different color, it disappears when Christina is in the picture and has on a white top

A simpler mod to correct text position, size and outlines. Just drop the file in "games" folder or add manually in some .rpy file this:

style say_label:
    offset (-40, 40)
    outlines [(4, "#333C", 0, 0), (2, "#FFF", 0, 0)]

style say_dialogue:
    xsize 1600
    align (1.0, 1.0)
    size 42
    outlines [(7, "#6666"), (5, "#333C"), (3, "#000")]

It looks promising, the graphics can be better for sure.

Progress report

Hey

Just wanted to let everyone know that we're working on the next update.

Unlikely to be ready next weekend. But sometime in the middle of the week after. That's my guess right now. If anything changes, I'll let you know. But I feel good about this.

well with those fingers she could grab mc's dick twice-thrice unless he's really packing up.


and back to topic, played this thru yesterday on sickbed and it was funny (christina is "tad" too close of haley), no big whines (biggest small is chris coming to clean up mc's apartment just like that after they have re-known each other like 2 days.

Bit of a delay

Hi

I'll keep it short. Cause I don't have much to say.

I've been informed that I have to drive my mother to some old friend(i'm not sure exactly)'s funeral on Saturday. It's a 7 hour drive. So we'll be leaving Saturday morning to get there and won't be back till Sunday afternoon. This will delay me a bit.

So look for the update on Monday/Tuesday.

Viit

Apologies

Hi

Sorry to do this again. I had to leave for 2 days, so I pushed the release back 2 days.

What I failed to account for is that the 12 hour days I have on the weekend to work on this are not the same as the 4 hour days I have during the week. I've only finished half of what I had to do since I came back.
It will take me at least another day, probably two to finish up.

Sorry

Viit
