Ren'Py Silk and the City of Seduction [v2.34] [Devious Delight Games]

[MahPr]

Exactly right! Love interests will never be required for game progression, but certain story events may have variations based on who Silk has developed a bond with. The vast majority of stories and scenes for love interests will be found in each LI's personal quest, though.



Silk will meet all love interests via exploring the patrol map, but it's player choice on if she wants to pursue them romantically. I'm trying to develop love interests with certain niches in mind to make them stand out so some characters may provide certain kinks, but those kinks are not planned to be exclusive to any given character.

For example, if Robbie Reyes (Ghost-Rider) wins the ongoing poll, his scenes will feature a good deal of bondage by his chains. Spider-Woman is also planned to have bondage related scenes, though. As such, both routes would eventually accumulate the bondage kink.

Finally, there are some loose ideas to have certain LIs crossover with others but they are the hardest scenes to write, most expensive to commission, and it certainly is not planned for every potential matchup. I'd only really try to do this for combinations that really make sense.

Dev, I just want to give you a heartfelt pat on the ass for this game. The story and the art are both fantastic, and thank goodness you chose a sensible play-style for the game. Is there any place or format in which you would like to receive help with typos?

I appreciate the praise! For typos, you can either submit them with the "Bug Report" button in game or just join my Discord and submit typos to the #silk-bug-report channel there. I thank you and anyone else in advance for any reports!

I've beaten both Electro and Hydroman (As required)... However I don't see how to finish the Act II to unlock the next level.
What must I do ?
PS : When Silk want to explore the City, it is written : Defeat Electro and Hydroman to continue the story (And i'ts done with the help of Zelinsky as required)

You can't, there is no act 3 at the moment

Thank you.
I had read that there were already events with Octavia and I thought it was during Act III already available.

You get her scenes by failing the tests every few weeks. The day after you fail you get the next scene. Though rn there are only 2-3 scenes. And they will likely play a role in how you deal with her in act 3

Surprisingly good game. No terrible gameplay mechanics, its pretty streamlined. The sex themes are interesting enough and most of the time the individual art pieces are appealing.
The author is better at conceptualizing scenes in writing rather than executing them, in some scenes the art assets dont really work and the overall impression is clunky as they force animation with the limited assets. Many scenes demand for more cg's to work well. The art has consistency issues and you quickly see placeholder images even when game has plenty of content later on.

The discussions on the phone are a bit boring, imagine if the same info was exposited while the characters are hanging around doing stuff.
The wardrobe is rather pointless, you could remove it and have the mc wear things based on games progression and past choices, the scenes art doesnt reflect to what you wear anyway.
For dog scene I would hope the dog was more like a dog instead of a guy with a petplay fetish who fantasizes about leading a woman around on a leash, except hes a dog.

I appreciate the feedback! Placeholders are consistently being weeded out in every update except the one that is currently being worked on and by the time our Christmas update comes around, I think we'll have successfully replaced all black and white art in the game. Older art that misses the mark is also going to be replaced, too. I tend to agree that we could use more CGs for any given art scene to sell the fantasy in my head, but art is expensive and we are working with a pretty limited budget!

I can agree that the phone discussions aren't the most exciting content ever, but importantly they're quick and don't move the game-time forward so if something were to replace them, it would have to behave similarly. The wardrobe is something I'm actively looking at adjusting in either the next update or the one after that. I would love to have the art reflect what the player is wearing more often but that is yet another area where we are limited by budget.

Finally, Reinar is a special case because of his story but pretty much every other animal, including other dogs, will be more "primal" than him.

I hope this doesn't come across as deflecting criticism but I'm aware of many of these weaknesses and each update tries to address a few pain points of previous updates. This game is a far cry from where we started and I'm excited to see where we end up in year+ from now!

including other dogs,

Wait, she hasn't been fired from the shelter yet?!?

She adopts Reinar. She wouldn't be fired for anything because nobody has found out yet.
