Ren'Py Shattered Minds [v0.23 Beta] [eXtasy Games]

[dkatryl]

Just starting to check out the title but the MC seems like a serious derp. It's strange how an author wouldn't get tired of writing dialog for a character who complains about EVERYTHING! Phone rings, he complains. Mom wants him to do something, sister says hello and wakes you up for school.. he complains. It never ends. "Geeze! Sheesh! Ok ok! Why doesn't everything in life not go exactly as I want. Its not fair! I'm so put upon!"

Couple that with the fact that he's dripping in arrogance and judgement. He likes some girl who's out of his league and gets shot down, he whines. Girl at his level likes him, he brushes her off as "not good enough" for him.

I hate him already. I hope he falls into a wood chipper.

Yeah, MC is a bit of a douchey dipshit.

He has the magic 'I Win Button' ability fall into his lap, and still whines about shit.

And while the lady that is the personification of his ability is shady, he had a needlessly antagonistic relationship with her from the start.

Plus, his stupid jacket doesnt fit!

Good game! I haven't been playing for a few releases, but the corruption of teacher was great. Also, the dev manages a roadmap—that shows he has a plan for this game and gives me hope that it will get finished. I wish more devs would offer something like that; it makes both the fans and the dev happy

Erotic scenes in this are mid

If you don't have a fetish for mind control, don't play the game. It doesn't offer much more than that. Although, the small reworks the scenes are getting made the game better.

Game called "shattered minds" is heavily based on mind control. More news at 11.

True but it could be a great game with a mind control theme or a not so great game where they only thing propping it up is the mind control gimmick. I'm sure each player will make their own decision but I definitely get where the guy is coming from.

Sharon is a different beast. She was already just a part of Kobe's story, but many people requested more of her and so she became a side character when they were introduced. She probably won't be elevated further than she already has.

This is unfortunate if true, and diminishes my desire to return to the game (and I'm a big Harem fan). Perhaps it's hubris on my part, but I really think feedback along these lines needs to receive a lot more consideration on eXtasy's part. I rated the game rather highly due to what I saw last time I played (a very long time ago), but not retaining the flexibility to adjust popular LIs on-the-fly has me wondering whether I should have. Again - I recognize it might be self importance on my part, but it's feedback for the developer to consider going forward.

I played another game where the power of the MC was turning back time so he could do anything he wanted, he could always rewind like nothing happened. He barely made use of that power (which is hilarious), and the game is now finished. So at least in this game you actually use the mind control for something

eXtasy Games when will v0.21 be out for steam version? It'd be nice if you gave release date on there for ppl who bought it. It takes damn near a month for us to get the update which i get cause you gotta give some sort of bonus to ppl who pay monthly but would be nice to get more info on updates on steam.

STEAM release: 3-4 weeks after the Enthusiast/Fan tier (as soon as translations are finished).
Seems pretty clear to me.

eXtasy is very remarkable in how much listen to feedback and change the game accordingly, the original plan sharon was a one shot character, but because people were interested in her he revise that. but successive poll show the interest for her was less compared other "main girls", so she was piled up with the minor characters when introduced.
the number of features added or changed based on feedback it's very long, just because he don't fully listen the single opinion you want doesn't mean constructive feedback are ignored or openly refused.

 

[Bronzescorpion]

Adding to what Fulminato said. Rose was also meant to be a more fully fledged character, but people voiced their distaste for her, so she was changed in a way that still kept her in the game, but also didn't took too much time for a generally unwanted character.

I find that he strikes a rather good balance between his own vision and fan feedback.

You basically just parroted what I replied to, you realize that right? And I admitted not once, but twice that I may be me being self-important, so I already acknowledged it. The feedback was for the developer, and to express that I was disappointed in a character that had come up multiple times with support from the community (and who is beautiful) barely getting a bump.

It was feedback, not accusation. Your "defense" was unnecessary, given it was never intended for anyone but the developer. I'll update my review accordingly.

You made it seem like eXtasy wasn't listening to feedback to a satisfactory amount based on your perceived idea of Sharon's popularity. Even if you did acknowledge that it just could be you, you still stated that he need to consider it a lot more and implying that he isn't flexible to adjust to popular demand.

Fulminato addressed this directly, claiming that the willingness to listen to feedback is beyond satisfactory. Sure he reiterated what I said, but expanded on it by showing that she wasn't as popular as you made her out to be. I wouldn't call it parroting and I do find it understandable to repeat given that your take away was that eXtasy wasn't flexible in regards to feedback, despite her literally being an example of the opposite. I don't really see Fulminato's comment as being defensive, but rather setting the record straight, clearing things up. We should strive after the truth after all.

I feel like there are too many love interests, I would like to see more scenes with the originals.

They did give a release window (they do with every release, Steam is 2-4 weeks after the first day of release on Patreon), and they do with every version, it's even a PUBLIC post on their dev links in the OP.

• Early access release for Enthusiast and Fan tier (€35/€18) is on September 19
• Supporter tier (€9) get access on September 22
• Admirer tier (€4,5) get access on October 06
• STEAM release: 3-4 weeks after the Enthusiast/Fan tier
  (as soon as translations are finished)

• STEAM release: 3-4 weeks after the Enthusiast/Fan tier
  (as soon as translations are finished)

So, that would be (drum roll) the second week of October. As said, they also have translations to do (most developers do not do them and rely on the community for them).

That's the point of the next update.

V0.21 out now!

V0.21 is now available as a beta release for the Fan & Enthusiast tier!
The Supporter tier gets access on September 22, followed by the Admirer tier on October 06.
The Steam release of V0.21 will follow approximately 3-4 weeks after the Fan & Enthusiast tier launch, once all the translations are updated with the new content.

V0.21 brings a huge amount of new content to Shattered Minds! The centerpiece of this update is the completely new Home Expansion feature, which finally lets you expand your home and allow your entire harem to live with you.

On top of that, the update comes with new scenes and events for every harem member, the option to upgrade your woman and yourself, a range of quality of life changes, Lovense support, and a brand-new main quest that pushes the story about you and Ava forward.
All of this makes V0.21 the most content-rich and ambitious update the game has seen so far.

V0.21 is available for Windows/Linux, macOS and android.
Download it from oppaiman.com!
(login with your patreon account on oppaiman.com to get access)
Content of V0.21 (Changelog):

Main Quest: King of Nothing: It's time to finally face Ava. The stage is set for the ultimate showdown between the MC and the woman who has haunted him for so long. But are you strong enough to resist her influence once and for all and take control of your own destiny?

Home Expansion feature: You can now build a second basement level beneath your home! This new area allows you to create private rooms for each of your girls, as well as an Ascension Room and even an indoor pool with a spa zone. Pregnant girls and drones now also stay at your house.
*to start expanding your home, click on the Estate Manager app on your smartphone

New scenes at home: Every girl gets 1-2 brand-new events, which take place at your house. To experience them, they have to live with you. In total, 18 fully animated sexy scenes have been added, two threesomes are also among them!

Upgrade your harem and the MC: Permanently upgrade the MC to increase your Mind Energy and use your power up to five times per day. Each woman can also be upgraded with three permanent options: boost resource generation, guarantee pregnancy on the first attempt, or halve the Mind Point cost for personality changes.

Quality of Life improvement: overhauled Harem tab: The Harem Tab has been redesigned for a clearer overview and easier management. At a glance, you can now see who lives with you, who’s pregnant (including their progress) and each girl’s current personality state, shown by a colored ring.

Quality of Life improvement: Progress Display on the World Map: When hovering over a location, you can now instantly see if it’s completed. If there are still women missing from your harem or side girls not yet fully corrupted, their portraits will be shown next to the building.

New Achievements: Four new achievements have been added.

Lovense support added: All Bluetooth Lovense toys are now fully supported! During every sex scene, a random vibration or movement pattern is sent to your toy, which changes automatically with every sex position switch in-game. Check out their product range using my affiliate link!
