VN Ren'Py Ripples [v0.8.0 Public] [Jestur]

[Maccabbee]

...
Maybe one day, Jestur can get it on Steam and the "uncensored" version can return the way the dev intended the game to be since Steam doesn't care about incest, rape, or blackmail.

I guess the reason Honey Select games can't be sold on Steam is because honey select isn't like DAZ which is designed for the purpose of doing games?
The company that makes honey select, Illusion, went bankrupt a couple of years ago, dunno if that changed anything?

Nope, Steam won't touch HS games. The rights issues are too fucking messy, and there is a rightsholder to Illusion's IP that still shuts anyone down trying to sell a product made with HS assets. It sucks, but there you are.

Jenny is dreamgirl material in my eyes. Absolutely love how she's been shown to us so far and can't wait for more.

As far as Jessica vs Skylar is concerned, Jessica is cute but has barely been present thus far sadly. I was 100% on the Skylar train up until her mysterious vanishing act after Luna's reaction to the MC. Until the details of that are fully fleshed out it's hard to know what to think of her.

Same, it also bugs me that if you choose to not "forgive" her for vanishing, it resets your relationship to as if you had never interacted with her at all, rather than continuing on with a forgiveness/arguing path.

That's what forgiveness means. Makes sense to me.

FWIW I always go the Skylar route, and I always forgive her because it seems right for me. Not saying you should do the same, but she's top-tier for me. So are Scarlett and so many others, but still.

Eh, that's not really what I meant, I was saying that if you dont forgive her, the variables change so that you had never dated her in the first place, and wiping out any connection you ever had, which feels very artificial. I was interested to see the strain in the relationship going forward and to see if you could make it up to eachother, but now the relationship never existed.

That's why I said "one day". Laws change, along with copyright.

What I think it does is completely resets your relationship. Good shit happened, bad shit happened. She doesn't react well to a bad reaction from you. Skylar seems to want to keep things light. You might be able to win her back, though.

I also really want to know what went down, and Luna's secrets as well.

I applaud your optimism. I only hope we're all around long enough to see that.

You can say the same thing about this game being completed and many others on this site....

People in '99 were real savages. Why else would you wear flip-flops with such an elegant dress?

 

[sigvar]

Yep and that category should be "Best HS1 graphic engine game that puts to shame plenty of other HS2 games" haha. Agree, Jestur attention to detail and visual clues and communication has always been superb since I first played the game. This is one more reason you will never see me complain with development gaps between updates. It is all worth with this quality even if the game takes long to see the finish line.

Shit, I forgot this was HS1! That is even wilder!

 

[leproso0413]

I'm liking this game more and more. It's incredible!

It is actually pretty often when girls change into more comfortable shoes after you made the first impression and the party is calming down. Hard to wear high heels all the time.

 

[Dactess]

Well I feel slightly bad for wanting to unlock that Cindy scene now...

I suggest we start a debate: flip-flops versus pineapple pizza. We could even step it up with flip-flops and socks versus pineapple pizza to figure out what’s the most outrageous ! Both gross me out. ^^ I’ve always refused pineapple pizza option in the game because there’s no way I’m stooping that low !

Walking on pineapple pizzas seems rather impractical to me. Calzones might work better, not sure.

I'd like to add another item on the discussion list: bangs (or fringe). Why do so many girls have that childish hairstyle? Few of them pull it off, and all would be more attractive without it.

Wow, that is a wild combo. Definitely questionable taste here. What a nightmare ! x)

No idea, I don’t see it that much and it bugs me less than the other stuff in the debate, imo. ^^

They might actually be, since Scarlett is still wearing them 20 years later
