VN Ren'Py Shattered Dreams [v0.1] [Nebula Dreams]

[Nebula Dreams]

That is a weird approach . So if I reject one LI .... doesn't that suggest I dont want to see her content?? Why would I want to see her with someone else?

That seems like a waste of resources or something like "haha, you didn't pick her, see what you missed", which is silly. Not to mention that kind of voyeur cuck content would only attract ntr/sharing fans, it will not appeal to romance/vanilla fans which is supposed to be target of the game since there is supposedly no ntr/sharing planned. They are really not eager to see the li with someone else, even if it doesn't exactly fit the ntr/sharing definition.

But I digress, thanks for the answer

No, I understand your point of view, but you can look at it from another angle.
This scene doesn’t necessarily have to be in the “Hahaha, look what you missed” style—it can be more subtle. For example, let’s say at a party, you realize that two girls are having sex, and you have the choice to watch or not.

If you choose to watch, great—you get to enjoy the scene. If not, that’s fine too—you made the choice not to watch, and you’re absolutely entitled to that.
No scene is wasted, it will show the evolution of a character.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a lot," as it can be interpreted in different ways, but let's just say you'll be involved in almost every decision the MC has to make (or not).
And based on your decisions, different paths—A, B, C, D, etc.—will unfold.

As for the number of girls, there will be 5 with full romance paths. There will also be other girls, but they won't be "romance-compatible." In fact, 4 of the girls with a romance path are already present in version 0.1.

The game isn't divided into chapters, so I can't specify that, but what I can tell you is that the game will be long. However, it will end when the story reaches its conclusion—I won’t artificially keep it alive once the narrative comes to its natural end.

Hmm...so can MC ride the "go out with every girl" wave, to learn and experience each of their unique personalities ... say for a short time to get better antiquated and intimate with each and everyone of the girls? Or will it be a forced to choose one girl moment, locking all girls to be peruse by others...as the player will be forced to watch the other dudes be with them? (And this is one of reasons I dislike the single path titles...)

Also I realize the fifth main love interest still hasn't been introduced, so I'm just wondering how to play this title with regards to the many girls and MC's relationship with them. I'm normally a huge harem fan, and it was sad to read that this will not entertain a multi girl path...where MC can relationship more than one girl (maybe a throuple, or even better harem path. But... ...).

As I mentioned I'm not a fan of single paths, but it would be good to know before players get invested in the story, to know how to choose their relationship dialog in the story. Instead of finding out updates later, that the player will have to replay from the start to fix their past choices.

Though, not sure why would MC go out in a suite buttoned up shirt without a tie? Most basketball players in North American High schools/ collages are very familiar with the shirt and tie dress code for sporting. So it seemed odd seeing MC without a tie...he looked like he was one of those Mormon guys who knock at your door once a year trying to convert you to their religion.

But I wanted to say your story and rendering has been excellent so far....and choice of MC (his face) is very good as well.

Regards.

No harem, so i'll probably end this when i actually have to choose.

 

[Call of Booty]

Nice one dev.Good looking MC, interesting story and lovely girls.Hope it will get only better with future updates. Big yes from me

 

[joryh]

No harem so 30 saves for all paths to make sure we get each one right.

I'm lazy, and despise doing that. Which is the primary reason I prefer harem games. One playthru and done without all the tedious save-scumming.

Thank you! I'll make a patch to fix that.

I never said you couldn’t have two relationships at the same time.
You can start the romance paths with each girl and progress deeply into them, but there’s no guarantee the girls will accept it if they find out you’re cheating on them. (And beware of the consequences.)

That said, I won’t go into detail about how each relationship will play out, but one thing is certain: regardless of the ending, there will be no throuples or polyamorous relationships where every girl agrees to share.

As for the suit with a buttoned-up shirt without a tie, I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
Could you send a screenshot? (Or are you talking about when Alex works at the bar?)

Thought this might have been a Johnny Hates Jazz reference, but I see it's not. Lol

Don't worry. I can wait until the next regular update. But I like that you even care enough. Thumbs up!

Thanks for the reply... And for the info on how to play with regards to how to handle relationships.

Also, here's an image of MC at the restaurant (him doing the bosses alibi)...also every other dude there is wearing a tie, but MC. Just odd to see, considering MC was a multi sponsored basket ball player before the ending of his potential career.

Spoiler: No tie MC...

dang.... choosing between beautiful women is difficult man

It has been pretty easy for me so far actually. I have never seen a game where I do not have one overriding favorite over the others. Search it in your heart and you will find who really matters when the chips are down.

The others will just have to be unlocked in the Gallery and any VN without one is fucking with us.

Oh, I see. Personally, I find that style (suit without a tie) kinda classy, and it makes Alex seem a bit less "serious," considering his age. I’m not sure if this style is really that uncommon in US ?
It’s more of a style choice than anything related to money or other factors.

I cant seem to download it all i see when i open are the comments

Won't there be incest too?

Nebula Dreams
First congratulations on the release of your game. It's a very impressive first release. Beautiful LIs. High quality images. Solid writing and pacing. As I said very impressive especially its length. Not very often does a first release from a new developer contain this much content.

I look forward to the evolution of the story. One piece of advice. Tell the story as you envision it, listen to feedback that you find valuable but in the end it's YOUR vision stay true to it.

Good luck

 

[Greebz]

Sad bc no ffm sex. Do you plan on adding pregnancy and breeding content though?

 

[Joshy92]

OMG a romance and story focused game with no harem? Well I have to try this tonight when I get home.

 

[Raziel_8]

I don't think many want to see the MC banging his old man...

That'll be the sequel. It's called shattered arse.
