VN Ren'Py Completed Scorpion Hill [v1.0] [dullachan]

[Noxedia]

Okay, I did not expect to go from ‘hit by a truck’ straight into ‘dating a literal homicidal scorpion girl,’ but here we are

What a weirdly adorable game.

Also minor nit but I found the text delays a little annoying, even with max text speed. Only workaround I could find was decompiling the rpyc files under /game/chapters and replacing {w=12345} with {w=0}

for fp in ./game/chapters/*.rpy; do echo $fp; sed -ri 's/\{w=([\d]*)(\.{0,1}\d{0})?\}//g' "$fp";  done

If anyone has a better way of patching the script text (especially rpyc's and at runtime), please let me know.

This is honestly peak. Like, the art isn't even that good, but the use of the story, poses, and atmosphere really has me just enjoying it and hoping it doesn't end anytime soon. I swear I find more compelling stories in porn games than I 70$ and up shit.

The dialogue swings often into adolescent cringe, but I get what you're trying to achieve here; it's your run-of-the-mill trashy book novel, but becomes enjoyable if you turn your brain off.

Was pretty damn good. Really love the Bonnie and Clyde thing.
MC real life player corruption is too real.

Is english not your native language?

 

[Zakkuri]

Can you even really call this a porn game? There's practically no fucking, and when there is, there's no art. Lucky I'm too lazy to write a one star review.

 

[Tkangk]

hey good read, only took me 2 sitting to finish. I'd buy this if it's on steam

 

[xmilteach]

thx

 

[Korant]

I really liked this one

Quite an interesting story. Not really porn or eroge material; rather, it's about... humanity. And a bunch of interesting ideas. I was pleasantly surprised by how original some of them are, and how much one can empathize with the characters. And the pacing structure -- start with chapter 10, then go 1, 11, 2, 12... -- was really good. I'm really so glad I've read this story!

I know the author only wants hate mail and corrections, but... here's hoping he'll go on making more stories like this one. Kudos.

I fuck with this

Thank you all for the positive comments and constructive critique.
I was unsure of how Scorpion Hill would be received, because of its contentious nature. I am glad to see it resonated with some people.

I will continue to work on art assets and try to improve on that front. I know a lot of the assets weren't up to snuff, I have an issue with consistency and taking my time to solidify the side assets. I will endeavor to take the time to make the assets more high quality and consistent.

My next visual novel will be another single girl romcom in the same vein. This one will have much more choice structures and will be marginally less toxic and violent. It probably won't be any less cringe, but you can't win all the battles you face.

What a weirdly adorable game.

Thank you for this, and thank you double for including the code snippet. I will try and find a way to program this as an option into my next game.

literally perfect

 

[Dwemer]

I genuinely didn't expect to get hooked like I did but that ending surprisingly left me wanting more.

Bro I cannot believe I'm a month late too the new Dullachan game because I've been checking the itch page instead of the f95zone page
