Ren'Py Abandoned School Wars [Chapter 0.4] [Soda Can Games]

[MD27]

Think I ran across a small bug with Amanda. I stopped the bus for her but later when you first talk to her by your home she says I did not stop the bus for her, or dose it not matter if you do stop it or not.

Big this.
Other than that the game looks nice

stopping the bus for Amanda still leads to this dialogue

Went to latest updates page.
Saw banner with high detail super cute face.
Immediately clicked link.
Checked preview images...
See generic looking HS models from 2016....
Disappointment intensifies.



Fukkit, no android port so it's not really like I'm missing anything anyway.

read all the comments about ears, now all i think about when i see this guy is his fucking ears

 

[CrayZio]

how to answer to all those test question ? it's not like the game just started and got any Ref about this
or is the principle to make us fail ?

 

[Lebeaubrun]

MC looks like imbecile with those prominent ears. Another shitty looking MC... It's so much turn off for so many, including me.

Plus everyone knows invisible/first person mc is best mc

well I don't think you will find anything about Machiavelli in the game so the best thing I recommend would be to use google haha, but iirc the answers were

1: date of birth 1469
2: birthplace Florence
3: best book "The Prince"
4: the phrase "the end justifies the means"
5: date of death 1527

With that you should pass the exam and get an A

Two problems already is the one everyone seems to be calling out in which you stop the bus for Amanda and the dialogue says later on that you didn't no matter what. However other thing to note is you can get 5 dollars inside of the bathroom before heading to class. Which would be nice to use when heading to the fast food joint with Emma but as soon as you're finished with answering the questions and the class ends bringing you to free roam it takes away the 5 dollars for no reason as well. I think the first update story wise seems great but those two things need to be fixed.

I think that is not an error but rather part of the story,perhaps to generate more points with her depending on the answer player give.

When they arrive at the food place and she tells the mc to enter, the mc knows that he doesn't have money but he remembers the 5 dollars from the bathroom, when he looks for them he says that the pants are torn and he lost the money.

game does mention your pants (that you were given from free) has a hole inside of them. its a cheap cop-out but it is addressed.
i dont think missing money is bug, its just a form of writing that makes you think you have a choice but really you dont. you can either not find money and go down the line of broke MC or find money and end up in same situation.
my guess is that this is for simplicity. less branches early on makes for easier storyline, common with new artists who just starting. i found myself trying the same method many times, it is just easier to write story like this at first and then branch it out later when you have general idea of story as a whole

Can confirm the same bug/problem with Amanda's bus dialogue at the apartment.

Edit: using the Variable Viewer I found that stopped_bus was "= False" and changing it to "True" gave me the correct dialogue

O I must've missed that for the money situation that totally makes sense then and isn't a problem then.

What happened to his ears ヅ　

 

[jdw6]

busy work navigation arrows. A lot of additional unnecessary clicking

preview images

Somehow the "additional unnecessary clicking" in game doesn't surprise due to how the preview pictures were put on the OP. At least for me they showed up as individual albums of 1/1 each, not 1 album of the 7 or 8 images (like almost all other posts on here).
Oh, and DeUglyOne thanks for the comment on the volume. This is getting a hard pass due to that one thing.

Too poor for towels so they hung him out to dry.

Couple of the MC's class mates look better than the MC himself lmfao. Also his head looks tiny for hid body.

Dear dev, its still early in your game and its not too late to make the MC look a little better. I like the game otherwise but ffs he looks like a twat.

It would be a shame if dev troll us changing MC into an ugly fat bastard :v

As i'm still on the title screen this is just a preliminary review..
I tend to base be a few things on whether i will like a VN or not.. characters, mc likeability, well written story, Understandable english.. But one of the main things that i've found in the 'main stay' titles i've followed and LOVED is also having that amazing music track at the beginning.. be it the amazing track from being a Dik.. or the opening track from AoA.. Leap of Faith and so on.. having that hook is essential.. and you have tht in abundance.. The opening music from the menu is up there with the most addicitive opening tracks i've seen for an AVN.. I wish you all the best on this and just hope you can maintain that quality you have established by your music hook..

1st Critique - MC design (massive ears lol)

SodaCanGames While i kinda see where you was going trying to have a dorky mc that can build his way up to be the 'hero' id seriously consider a redesign as people are gonna want to spend countless hours on this game if done right and not load up and see an mc that makes them want to close the game down again before they can even get into the story
