VN Ren'Py Completed Secret Summer [v1.0 Epilogue] [SuperWriter]

[mordred93]

I do understand what both of you are saying, but I do understand why so many people like harems and always ask me about them. In real life, you cannot have more than one girl in most societies. But these are fantasies with no consequences and you can have all of the hot girls and it not be a clusterfuck lol

And of course you have the other side of what you guys are more on and I am also really big on is the romance and solo, so I try to include all of those routes. The only reason this will not be a harem game is just because there are too many girls that it would be unrealistic in my mind, otherwise I would have no problem adding a separate Harem route on top of the solo, so, yeah.

I want to make everyone happy, but I don't think I should force a harem I really don't see.

I have said this to many devs, you do you, and let the chips fall where they may. I will play many games that are not my jam because I like to play games and enjoy the dialog and pictures. I will continue to play this game if for no other reason than the dialog, story, and pictures. I happen to like other things as well so this is creeping up my board of "liked" games, due to giving me the feels. If I have to grab a tissue while reading, maybe things struck a cord and I enjoy it much more.

A well run harem can work if it is not forced, and small (which is your problem here with so many possible people to join). The mathematical possibilities are hurting my under caffeinated mind. Again - do what you want - it is your story. I just feel the whole harem ending is a really hard thing to pull off. A good story has people investing emotions into characters, and when the situation changes, people lash out. Perspective is everything, and I know this is a work in progress so I know to keep things and emotions in check. I only judge a final product, and offer constructive criticism along the way when asked.

Good luck on the next release and forward.

just promise me if you make a harem game in the future there will also be a one girl only option for me

for me one good love story is worth a hundred harems

I thought that harem will be in this game after that cameo in Picture Perfect.

I've always said it was a possibility, but never anything concrete. I can't predict too far ahead of the game, but now that we are getting into the girls,' routes, I don't think a harem makes sense. Starting a business with Irene, a bakery with Norah, and a bunch of other storylines that I have just Do not sit with so many girls that have so much going on.

But I'm just specificating. Nothing is set in stone yet

 

[d_pedestrian]

It's the ones you like i'm bored shitless of.

MC going to one girl after another like a queue system, it's so fucking dull.

I've only ever played 2 harem games I enjoyed and those were Sisterly Lust and Parental Love. Fortunately Tales From the Unending Void is going to be the same as Sisterly Lust with all included.

You're saying as if all of us are living a harem life. Not everyone spend their whole time playing games from f95. Harem is one of the fantasies and i play it that way in games but IRL I'm a one woman man.

In short, keep fantasies for games and real life situations for real life and you'll live happy. If you don't want to do that way, plenty of non-harem games available for you to play.

you are right,harems are unrealistic and if that bothers people,they can just play other games,For me personally it depends on the context. If we look at something like love of magic It shouldn't surprise anyone that a living god has many women at the same time,other times it is silly,but oh well,anyone can choose to play whatever they like even If I don't like it.

actually bro as a guy who hates harem myself and prefers love story with solo route I can tell you vn with a good love story and solo route are a small percentage of the games on the site

Harem games however are the majority of games on f95

and for someone like me who has a reading disability and has to play games made by ren py

the selections of games I can play



are even less

so telling someone if you don't like it don't play it

it's not a really helpful especially if we cant find anything to play

sorry went off topic my point is there not plenty of non Harem games to play

I am in the same boat. Prefer a good romantic story.
I play many of those harem games as a solo route. Usually just pick the woman that I find likeable and mostly ignore the others. Specially ones that are being twats for no reason other than jealousy. Very few harem games where I find having a harem is actually more than just a porn gimmick.

The thing is that these games are inherently built up as harem because you are dealing with multiple women. So just choosing one actually goes against how the game is made up in the first place, at least for so many of these games, which is why you won't find many where a guy is dealing with multiple girls, but he's only going to choose one.

Because you can have your cake and eat it too in this world lol

I get that, believe me. It's just not really my thing to have multiple sexual partners. Though if, like in some games, those partners are also involved with each other and in the story that enriches their lives I am alright with that. Like in PP, actually, it made sense to have a harem. Everyone seemed like they actually got closer to each because of the mutual love they shared and everyone actually cared about each other rather than it just being a "wham bam, squirt some jizz in my bam bam."

I get it.
But at the moment, there is a harem path: you can satisfy all the women.
Does it mean that, at some point in the future, there will be important branching points on this "harem" path?
And you'll have to make an unvoidable painfull choice by picking one woman and discarding the others?

 

[ahxjosu]

i love harem

 

[Eyeris]

where's the android version by the66?

yes my brother but what you're not getting is not every guy is like that some guys don't want to have cake and eat it too

 

[SeveredRealms]

Secret Summer was never actually planned as a full on harem. The girls all know the mc is messing with them all and accept sharing him. This has been known since the first release of the game if anyone paid attention or has been in his discord for any given time.

 

[Jouk]

Android??

 

[hcguy]

I like harem games (which I am defining here as games where you can have multiple LIs whether or not there is any involvment among the women) not because it's a fantasy of mine (one person at a time is all I want or need), but for a practical reason - I can see content with all the women without having to play the game multiple times. The lack of realism doesn't bother me. If I have to play through the game over and over choosing a different woman to focus on each time, I am likely to pass on that game (I make exceptions if the game is particularly good and the number of paths is reasonably limited (i.e., if there are 20 (interesting to me) LIs in the game and I have to pick only one each time, that game is probably going to get deleted no matter how good it is).

Severedrealms pretty much has it right. I think the MC will sit all the women down and let them know what's going on but no full on orgy or anything

 

[Vollezar]

but no full on orgy or anything

Whoa whoa whoa... let's not rush here. a little bit of sweaty pile in the living room never hurt anyone.

 

[thealucid]

Wow wow wow... let's not rush here. a little bit of sweaty pile in the living room never hurt anyone.

I respect the reason why not to go that route though. Like Treasure of Nadia goes full sex orgies at the end, and the feeling of sexual intimacy in the scenes just evaporates. Which is fine for people who only care about hot sex scenes, and not so much about the romance. But for those who like the romance the scenes can actually be boring.
