VN Ren'Py Reconnections [v0.58] [Viitgames]

[Walter Victor]

Wherever this game is going, we're supposedly half-way there.

Haley had 33 releases, Taming had 29. Apparently, this one will clock in at about 22!

I always wondered if this one had enough to keep it going for any length of time. After all, once the MC beds Christina (with or without Diana), there's not much left to keep interest going. Since we're already half-way through, adding Haley-like drama is unlikely. So it looks like we're stuck with a game-long slow-burn with this one.

Viit's team had a superb idea for Haley, but seems unable to re-catch that lightning.

Well, one-hit wonders are not just a thing in the music industry.

Are there any choices in this or is it a Kinetic Novel? Gone a bit in with no choices. I HATE kinetic novels.

there are choices but you won't get any depending your past choices so yes and no to kn.

There are two or three significant choices that create separate paths and probably at least two separate outcomes.

Girlfriend is a bit of a cunt in this. Surprised there isn't all the stuff from people who hate when a game starts with a girlfriend, no matter what. Not that I was going to read back 24 pages to see...

Girlfriend is a bit of a cunt in this.

I think everyone playing this agrees. It's been one of several criticisms from the very beginning.

I would imagine. But then, there are people who hate it when a game starts with a girlfriend, even if she's gorgeous, does every kind of sex the player wants, is nice, etc.

 

[Porthas]

I think they wrote all the characters boring and mildly dislikable to see how long people would put up with it, as sort of a science experiment. A very low energy science experiment.

That's one theory. The other one is they're tired of making games, this feels very phoned in and low effort. Even the Patreon posts come across the same way, to me.

c'est la vie

as usual, funny and choiceless (despite game promising those 2 times) and added bitch in need of dick.

Given the size of Chris' place, I can only assume either she's independently well-off, she's lying when she says the classes don't pay well, or she has to have some special arrangement (rend control, place owned by a relative, etc.). I have lived in various places around the world and don't remember any place of that size and decent quality being cheap unless you're in a non-Western country or the middle of nowhere (which clearly these folks are not).

inherited or cheap rent or rich aunt somewhere let's her live there.

That was the first thing I thought when seeing a render of Chris: "Momma's bringing home another STI guy tonight?"

inherited or cheap rent or rich aunt somewhere let's her live there.

There are a lot of "spoiled girlies" these days who are "in their light"... and stuff. It's inevitable that this kind of tripe find its way to a VN too. And Chris gives off heavy "spoiled girlie" vibes for sure.

 

[Walter Victor]

We don't really know a hell of a lot about Chris's apartment. We've only seen the one area. Granted it's a large area, but it encompasses living, dining and kitchen. To my recollection, we haven't seen any other room in her apartment.

From the outside it likes like a good, upper-middle-class neighborhood. But where? What city? That would determine how expensive the place is.

As for Chris possibly being a hooker... come on! If she's banging guys for revenue, probably some guys who are married with children, that would completely counter her whole 'I'm not the kind of person who breaks up a relationship' attitude.

Stripper? Possible, but unlikely. Hooker/call girl? Not a chance.

Well, my comment about my first thought was tongue-in-cheek. I don't actually think she's anything like that.

Of course, but you weren't the only one to make such comments.

I suspect they were all 'tongue-in-cheek'. But just in case anyone read those comments who had not played the game or did not know the posters, I thought I'd throw my comment in here.

Hi

We're working on the next update. I can't give you a release day yet. Still far to soon for that.

Having to deal with quite a few new locations since Diana and the MC are having a little getaway. But we're getting there.

I'll keep you updated.

Viit

So, perhaps a sex scene?

"Hrmm.... This is your idea of an out-of-the-city vacation, MC? I've had more excitement doing hours of spreadsheets...."

Hi

We're getting there. Can't say for sure when it will be done. Sometime next week. It will have to be before Friday.
My cousin is coming to visit on Friday, so it will have to be done by then. Have to pick him up at the airport, show him around, see some sights etc..... Can't say the exact day but before then. Next post will be the update. Sometime next week.
