There's some coercion, however. And one specific scene in the slums which, I guess, could count.
I'd also possibly add the first party organized by Rebecca -- if the player doesn't get their interaction with Bree just right for her to show up and potentially save the day, they're effectively left with no option to oppose getting dual banged, no consent questions asked.

There are several scenes, but you gotta specify which playthrough you want with her. You get different scenes depending on whether or not Blake moves to Deliverance with his love interest.

YedaGames The writing is pretty good, I especially like the dialogue. As long as the game was taking I was beginning to think it was a situation where the story was basically finished and side bits and glitches were still being hammered out, I was surprised to hit the incomplete wall. I dont play many renpy games, though of the ones I have this was by far the longest. Not that that is bad, opposite in fact. Looking forward to the games completion.

I actually agree with your point, Blake is indeed a bit clumsy with that sort of thing sometimes, but I want to provide a bit of context for those specific situations.

See, the Clover thing was basically just a set-up for Blake to piss Dommie off once again and remind her that she’s not all that important in his life. Plus, it was just way too vague for Blake to keep it in mind all the time. And above all: would Blake really like Melinda to know that he hangs out with Dominique more often than she thinks?

As for the drug testing, it was yet another storyline that I decided not to pursue further. Sometimes it happens due to the lack of time, sometimes I just figure that it’s not worth the effort. I have to often remind myself that this is a porn game, not a sci-fi thriller or a political drama. People want to see characters fuck, the rest is optional. But once I’m finished with Shattered, I want to get back to some of those ideas and give them proper continuations if I deem them interesting enough. Grow the game sideways, so to say.

And, as much as I hate to admit it, there’s a third kind of those situations: I just forget things. It happens. For players my game is just several hours long, but for me it’s been years — and I had to write all this. Some things tend to slip out of my memory. Which is why I’m always happy to discuss the story. It could help me refresh something in my mind.

On this note, this isn't a story discussion per se but maybe something to consider while working on these remaining chapters -- lately in the game all "assertive options" Blake can take are gated behind ambrosiadom check. The thing is, this flag is set in script14.rpy (if Blake's dom variable is either at 12+ or at 8+ with certain extra conditions) but it's possible for Blake to gain up to 3-4 extra dom points in subsequent chapters, after the dom/sub flag is already set. This can lead to a funny situation where Blake was determined as acting submissive, but his dom variable is now at level where he more than qualifies for dominant behavior.

So, i'd ask to keep that in mind, and maybe where it comes to story-relevant menu choices enable them based on a bit more flexible check, ambrosiadom or dom >= 12 to account for this?

(for the dom/sub variations of text/dialogue i'd leave them as is, there's way too many of them to bother)

I'm really happy that you keep putting an effort into making the different storylines fresh and enjoyable. I for one am not into this game (or any other vn, for that matter) just for the lewd scenes. Don't get me wrong, I love great lewd scenes, but I find I enjoy them a whole lot more if there's a decent story to back them up. So thank you so much for not making the game a complete fuck-fest.. :D

YedaGames I just want to say thank you for your hard work and your constant engagement here with the members playing your game. Truthfully, I haven't been able to play it in close to a year (version 16 was what I had when I decided I wanted to step back into your world and I just got it all up to date last week) and my last save was Blake and Alice in the garage when Blake went back to the slums with Iris. I'm super excited to get back into things and see how it pans out. Again, thank you for your dedication to these characters and this world, it is truly a masterpiece thus far in my opinion.

One question if you are able to answer, do you have any plans for your next project after you complete this one? It may be a bit presumptuous for me to think you already are planning that far ahead but I was just curious :)
Thanks!

Oh man, the last version I played was v0.15. Can't wait to see 3 new acts! I remember when in one playthrough Jamal and Rebecca had "we broke up" convo even though all requirements for them to stay together were met. :/ Also still can't believe that Troy killed Claude.

I still can't believe how much effort you have put into this game! There is so much text, there is so much story in it, it's crazy. At some points it feels more as if I'm watching a full-blown TV Series rather than "some game".

My first playthrough was Liam "shared" (even though it looked more of a true route cause of noone else in there) and Iris true
Second decided to check how does the Melinda true route looks like and even though I'm not that much into hardcore BDSM it was also sweet.
The third was Vanessa true route, and goddammit if it isn't also one of the sweetest routes. Also Iris is super jealous on this one judging by her behaviour.

I still gotta try Suya route, cause it also sounds like it will be super sweet. Also will have to try to fully explore Bree route.

Also I hope Zoey and Tanya will get happy ending together :3.


Anyway since v0.16 is downloading now and I still have to download v0.18, I don't know if it's there - but would it be possible to have:
- gallery in the game - it would definitely limit the number of saves needed;
- in case of saves becoming incompatible between updates - a "start at <X> act" option like it's done in Healslut?

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw a comment 30+ pages ago there won't be gallery and that we can access scenes in the files.

And I wonder if we will get the answer why Vanessa doesn't like Felix in this update.

Also seeing comment above makes me wonder if you changed your mind on Shattered being your first and only game to make.

EDIT2: I will also always laugh at that one McMahon quote 1675427967847.png

I have plenty of ideas that I will never be able to implement in the world of Shattered, but I'm about 80% sure that there won't be another game from me. First of all, because I'm tired. It's been my entire life for the last three and a half years, and I'm worn out. Second, most of stuff that I come up with is derivative. I don't think I can imagine anything truly new now, it's gonna be more or less the same thing, just with different characters and a different setting, which isn't as interesting. And third, I think that you can't have a good story without an interesting protagonist. And this is where I draw blank. I can't even think of someone to replace Blake. So, here we are.

Yeah that's pretty understandable. It would be sad to see you go away. Hopefully you'll return several years down with a new idea or maybe decide to work with someone, so you won't have to do everything by yourself.

Anywhere whatever you will decide to do I hope you will be happy and successful!
