Ren'Py Abandoned Secrets of the Valley [v0.0.3 Early Access] [LUSTFER]

[Socko55]

Is it just me or do all four girls in the banner have the same face? It's a nice face n' all but...they all look the same. Or at least the same lips.

I've noticed a lot of games are like that, but people who mention it usually get dumped on in the threads for mentioning it. I just assume that the devs for those games found a face that gets a good response from players, or a face they personally find attractive, and then make slight tweaks to it in different places to fill out the rest of their cast.

Or they're used to creating/consuming art with less detailed faces, and just forget that higher detailed CG renders make the similarities more noticeable. To use low budget anime as an example, all the Sailor Scouts from Sailor Moon have the exact same face, they just have different hairstyles and hair/eye colors.

Every time I see a new VN come up I look at the tags hoping not to see sandbox and/or point&click and then 70% of the time I'm like 'ah shit, here we go again'.

It's proof that inbreeding has already taken place in the game, despite the lack of "incest" and "pregnancy" tags.

According to the Patreon tiers they will have exclusive voting rights for the future content so who knows..

Drat! Yet another unguided sandbox game. No hints, no walkthrough, no option to knock before entering...

Stop your frustation today, start using the latest updates page filters.

I wish the filter could tell whether or not the sandbox is done well.

Wait until you see this game, 4 are definitely the same and then a possible 5th and 6th...

Depends on what you call "good", do you mean easy ones?
Make sure the game has the [VN] prefix if you want sandboxes with more limited gameplay mechanics.

But you can also exclude other tags like management, puzzles, combat and so on.

How sandbox is this one? Is it the grindy kind?

 

[UnoriginalUserName]

Engrish in the overview. -2
Hmm, redhead. +2
Good looking models in general. +4
Snot-catcher nose piercing. -5
Ugh...sandbox... -10
"Clickable" items remain on screen after transitioning to different locations (bed, computer, doors, etc). -20
First release so you have to be a little forgiving. +10

Overall I'd give it a score of -21 and : "May check out the next release to see if shit got fixed.", but hey, good luck.

 

[Truvelo]

add incest and everyone will be happy

 

[Incest games fan]

Any chances this could be incest mother-son?

 

[ntrvip]

I will keep an eye on this if incest! This can be good, good luck DEV

1. List of events, preferably with indication whether it has already been seen.
2. Indicators on the map which locations have people and potential scenes.
3. Hints about how to trigger the events.

One that springs to mind is Power Vacuum - not saying I love the game, but the sandbox doesn't irritate me too much.

Haha, using "father's associate" is a new way to say stepmother. Gotta love those Patreon rules.

What, are you saying you don't call your mom, father's associate? I guess that makes me the weird one.
