VN Ren'Py Shattered Dreams: Redemption [v0.3] [Nebula Dreams]

[Raziel_8]

That's a bit much I'd say.
While I'm not a huge fan of Lena, especially after 3rd update, I don't think she is lost cause, not yet at least
It's just the beginning anyways, we'll see how it goes. Surely Lena'll gather her fanbase

I mean, there are also enough who like bitchy/full on bitch LI's.
Personaly i don't particular care if she's a lost cause or not, she's my least liked of all the girls.

And i'm picky, rejecting half the LI's, even in a harem game, is pretty normal for me. I really don't see a problem if i don't like a LI, not like one needs to like every girl.

As for the dev, good update and really, don't get discouraged because some of us don't like a LI, or do a bit shit talking here

 

[Dessolos]

If you are referring to Maddison , then you are a heathen .

think that is her name. Yeah I mean don't dislike her she is just my least favorite last I played I forget why but according to an old post of mine it felt like her path so far has been mostly sex and not really enough character deveolopment for me other than I guess one backstory bit I totally forgot about lol. ( this was for up to V0.2 as I have yet to play 0.3)

Don’t worry, I know — it’s completely normal that not every LI will appeal to everyone, and that everyone has their own preferences among the five.
It’s their differences that make them beautiful, and it would be a writing mistake to have five personality copies with just different appearances.

Well, maybe I am even more picky, I prefer monogamous walkthroughs (there're exceptions of course).

I only reacted cause dude said nobody wants Lena. I think she'll do fine, as you said there're players who's into bitches.
In fact, there are games where some LIs made a journey from being my most hated one to my favorite., Hazel from NBTP comes to my mind right away.

Here I already have my Favs - Maddie and Ella. We'll see how it goes with the others.

As for Lena - I wouldn't want anything to be changed about her, this is who she is.

If you are referring to Maddison , then you are a heathen .

Yep, Maddie is the best but Ella is close

 

[eightypercent]

Yep, Maddie is the best

I think it's early days to call which LI is best; best what, tits? Number of sexual encounters so far? Story? Dialogue? Romance? Innuendo?

I guess that as the story and plot(s) unfold, we could see many of the LIs displaying new depths. So far there are three other women that intrigue me; the blonde from the party, Mina's other [tattoos] assistant and the mafia boss's female right arm.

Agree with that. I am positive Lena has her fans.

How boring and pointless would it be if all 5 LIs were the exact same personality. Variety is good, and people can choose the one or ones they like.

I sort of disagree with this depending on what character you are talking about. I felt like I seen enough of Jennie and Mina to know there are my type of LI and easily the best out of the bunch for me. But yeah if I liked someone like Maddie or Ella would be hard to call them the best as not enough character deveolopment yet on their paths at least to me.

I do agree that the other LI have a chance to outshine and beat my 2 favorites given enough time and updates but it will be very hard as I already got to the point where I have formed a bias and love Jennie and Mina because of their character , path story or something else.

I guess you mean Ella (the blonde from the party), but the other 2 are not LIs.

 

[Nebula Dreams]

Like Milton said, the ones you mentioned eightypercent aren’t part of the five main LIs, but that doesn’t mean they won’t have scenes (for example, Serena isn’t one of the five main LIs, yet she had and will have scenes).

The 5 main LIs (Lena, Maddison, Mina, Ella, Jennie) are the ones who will each have a unique romance path throughout the entire story. The side girls will have scenes too, and maybe even small storylines for some of them, but they’ll never have the same kind of romance system as the 5 main LIs.

I would’ve loved for some of the other girls to be part of the main LIs, but I can’t fool myself — having 5 main LIs, each with their own unique path, and trying to balance the content between them is already complicated and a huge workload.
And if there were even more main LIs, I’d end up spending 90% of the development time just creating scenes for each of them — and that’s not the goal either. Everything needs to progress in harmony.
The stories of the 5 main LIs have to move forward alongside the main plot (even though we have a special case with Mina, who’s tied to the actual main story whether she likes it or not).

 

[Tomy75]

Sorry if I was a bit brutal about Lena before but I really hate her personality.

The 5 main LIs (Lena, Maddison, Mina, Ella, Jennie) are the ones who will each have a unique romance path throughout the entire story.

Just to be clear about Lena: are we really talking about a future romance path here?
I'm asking because it would be a shame if a lot of players, like me, rejected her when she said in scene 50 that she doesn't date and she's not into romance, just to realize in 3-4 updates that her attitude was a mask and she is not against romance in the end (Roxy from UoP is the best example that comes to mind).

Yes, Lena will have a romance path, just like the four other main LIs. Her attitude is more like “Don’t expect to go on dates with me,” but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any dates with her at all.
I don’t know Roxy from UoP, so I can’t confirm if Lena is similar, but from what you described, it does sound a lot like her.

Roxy is basically the same when it comes to dating but more aggressive and is just about sex at first and slowly you break down her walls and get her to start acting girly and wearing dresses.

 

[metamorphMP]

Wow, Lena got grilled after this update. Poor arrogant soul
Personally, I don't dislike her, but it's funny how full of herself she is, with such an attitude it almost looked like she was trying to push MC away on purpose, testing the boundaries maybe?
The cherry on top was her phrase about using her "precious pussy" only with condom, it cracked me up.

It was a solid update.
My favourite girl is Ella, so I'm most looking forward to content with her.

I want to like Ella alot not sure yet how I feel about her. didn't play the update yet cause of Baldur's Gate 3 got me in deep where I can't put it down. But I for sure have my eye on Ella don't know if I will like her more than my favorites tho they got a strong start.

I can relate to that Been there.
Good luck!

Yet I loved Roxy all the way through and disliked Lena from the start. The dating part is the only similarity. Roxy's personality is great from the start, Lena is annoying AF. The only way I could get through Lena's route would be if MC turned dom on her. Mc would need to put her in her place (on her knee's), give her a good spanking and turn her into a good girl sub (I dont generally like male or fem dom but this bitch deserves it.) More likely to be the other way around though.

 

[landot19]

This is underrated gem and hope it never gets abandoned. Too many newer games on this site get abandoned. Great job Nebula Dreams I can't wait for more. And every girl is best girl in this AVN so far for me yes that includes Lena even if she is different lol.

 

[MagicMan753]

I am about halfway through ch.3 and its just so good. I stopped for now, since I am proofreading and making some suggestion changes or additions(not too many) to make it better in some places. I'll probably finish this in the next day or so.

Mina will always be my number 1, absolute fav. Jennie is my number 2 currently. But I gotta say, Lena is growing on me quite a bit, she probably won't go super high in the rankings, and out of the five girls, she may even be at the bottom, just cause the other girls are so great, but I found a love for Lena, I love her dominating personlity and teasing, gives off a bit of femdom like vibes. Her personality is just great, I love how she takes control during scenes.

Opposite is true for me I hated Roxy and I didn't want to give her a chance at first. But Lena while not a great first impression I actually wanted to give her a chance to improve. I recall I started to like Lena a little bit towards the end of Ch 2 still not fully on board with her. I can't recall exactly why it was either the conversation before she took us to a modeling photoshoot or after I started to like her a little bit or both.

 

[eightypercent]

Agreed, I find Lena really attractive, more so than Maddie... each to their own
