VN Ren'Py Secrets and Promises [v0.04] [badbod]

[TonyMurray]

I generally despise crossovers. Not uncommon knowledge. When done very well I can accept it as long as they are kept as separate entities.

However, on your comment....suppose you play boxed in after this? You just lose all narrative continuity.

I wouldn't see it like that - from this update it's clear that this is set later, so you'd know Boxed In is not following it. Going into it with that knowledge is all you need to see where the two fit together in terms of a timeline. I personally prefer to consume related titles, in whatever medium, in chronological order, but it's not unusual to have stories go back and explore earlier events, for instance.

I was able to pick up the package 1st, then go to brook ridge

Hmm, I was going to say I didn't see an option for that, but thinking about it, maybe I did and I just didn't think I could do it with the package in tow... I'll edit my earlier comment for accuracy, thanks.

No one knows they are related or part of the same world unless you play them This isn't Boxed In 2: Secrets and Promises.

Usually I am not a fan of the mc of one game, having sex with LIs of the mc of the previous game's mc, but in my headcanon these games are in separate universes.

This thing with LIs being "shared" across games with different protagonists is no bueno. Just a bad idea.

Anyway, I'm missing Alison's 3rd scene and Sarah's 2nd scene. Anyone knows how to unlock them?

 

[Augustus Commodus]

To get Alison's 3rd scene do not go to Brook Ridge after Brookvale. Either go to Brook Ridge first or don't go at all. As for Sarah's 2nd scene, you need to shoot Dawn down. It is a one-on-one scene between Sarah and the MC that takes place instead of the threesome.

Even less of a problem then. I still don't see what the issue is.

That explains it then. I saw images for that (the beating from and killing of James, and the Sue lewd having a variant with and another without Miyuki) and wondered which choice I didn't take led to them.

Now you're just being obtuse for the sake of it Tony. You can't have forgotten my posts already.

Whatever though, let's move on.

No, I'm genuinely not. I just don't think there's a continuity problem brought about by playing this before playing Boxed In. You get books and films and games all the time that are published out of chronological order, and it's just not an issue. To use your previous post as an example, if you played Boxed In 2, and then Boxed In, I could see that giving continuity issues, but as you say, this is not Boxed In 2, so I genuinely don't see the point you're trying to make, sorry.

There's no issue and I'm surprised Mav went this way on it.

The Boxed In MC is dead. Boxed In happened before Secrets and Promises. Anything with the Boxed In LIs is fine, given the fact he's dead. To say otherwise is giving way too much respect to a corpse.

"Well, he shouldn't have killed off the Boxed In MC." First of all, that guy had a good life. Second:



Even if someone plays S&P first and finds out Boxed In was before it, how is that any different from watching a film that comes out chronologically later but is set before? Rogue One immediately comes to mind. We know 99% of that cast will die yet it's still a great film and nothing narrative is lost watching it after 4-6, which is how most of us experienced it.

Even further making the whole thing silly is that it's optional.

Edit-Inline spoilers.

100% this, except I'd spoiler the bits about the Boxed In MC, just for those who haven't played the update yet.

Good call, pre-coffee.

 

[DuchessYasmin]

I'm kinda worried the little diverging paths would add up slowly and multiples after several updates, tho not entirely conflicting right now, but variations of dialogs is still a chore to keep track

 

[Clarence2992]

I just love it when a family friend turns out to be surprise incest...

 

[RealTR13]

Aww yeah.. Mr. Bad Blood Super Duper VN maker. Have not played the update yet... but I bet its gold...

 

[Augustus Commodus]

I've been expecting a mixed response to this update because of the inclusion of certain characters. I didn't want to say too much before they were introduced, so now let me explain:

If a character is currently not in a relationship, I don't consider it NTR.

Because by its very definition it's not, so you're right in how you look at it in that respect.

 

[Dark Silence]

While it's not NTR, it's just something I don't want to see. I have no issues with seeing affection in public places, so, I'm not one of those. But I'm also not going to be sneaking around to watch someone else fuck. Because voyeurism isn't my kink. So, in my old mind and personal headcanon, I still think of it as NTR if it's forced onto the player. Even though it's not.

 

[NewSeal]

Damn, for a game that came out like 3 months ago I was expecting it to have like 10 minutes of content, given the standards around here, but not only does it have a good chunk of story, it's also pretty damn good. Keep it up dev, haven't seen many good incest games here lately.
