VN Ren'Py Silver Creek [Ep.2] [ScrewThis]

[msleomac]

I have a question to people, who pay attention to storylines and aren't here only for boobs and pussies: so far, which one has you hooked on the most?
Is it Rachel's disappearance and weird dreams?
Is it Emily's fight with obesity?
Is it Samantha's issues with Eddie and their popularity?
Is it MC's conflict with jocks?

A lot of stuff will be added and expanded in subsequent episodes. Tbh, I don't even know how to fit all of it in 10 episodes, not even speaking of main storylines in Season 2 and Season 3)

For me its
1. Is it Rachel's disappearance and weird dreams? - Obviously. Its a hook and adds intrigue though it is long term storyline.

2. Is it Samantha's issues with Eddie and their popularity? - Scope for character development and even a scenario showing the fragility of the current pecking order and how it can collapse like a house of cards if someone questions it, interferes with it or even looks at it closely.

3. Is it MC's conflict with jocks? - Again obviously for a bit of action and break the monotonous action of seducing LI.

4. Is it Emily's fight with obesity? - Its ripe for medium to long term storytelling and character development

The biggest issue so far, as stated in numerous posts before, to balance lewd content with the story.
I already feel like some things(for example, Vanessa's progression) are happening too fast.
And, like Vasin pointed out, it is on the verge of breaking characters.
If I could produce updates faster, Emily coming out with her feelings would've happened around EP4, not in EP2.
Hints would've been more subtle and not that obvious.
Both MILFs NSFW arcs feel rushed to me. Kate's kitchen scene in EP2, if you're on her good side, IMO, is the weakest in the whole EP2.
So far, I feel like Sam's and Chloe's arcs are the strongest in terms of how they're written and balanced.
(no shit, former has no sexual scenes at all and barely touches flirting territory, while the latter is a rebellious hothead)

Some of animations will probably be redone while I'll be writing stuff for EP3. I have to get rid of collisions and artifacts(the one with Emily's hair during the kiss), Vanessa's panties behaving oddly in her scene. Smoothing modifier did a trick on me, but I simply thought that making people wait until NYE would be a shitty thing to do.

Look this is a porn game site and Silver Creek is a porn game. You need regular (and significant doses) of sex to keep the game relevant. Too much story or to little sex will cause players to lose interest. Its important to balance it out.

Personally the MILF's coming out strong seems right to me. Older, experience, tired of waiting, tired of putting others needs first, don't give a shit at this stage etc etc. Lots of reasons to choose from. For the girls too you seem to have a good mix of eager, curious, cautious, strong willed, competent, desperate characters so you can mix and match how the relationships go and how quickly the sex begins. Hell even if one character goes for it quickly the aftermath could lead to some time before the next act as character or story develops.

Honestly the final decision rests with you. If you are happy with end product that's it. Cant please everyone. Its important to take feedback to improve the game and see what you can implement within your vision. Thats all you can do unless you are devoted full time to the game.

I don't usually like to ramble like this since its your baby but i like Devs who interact on this site since it means you care and I wish to support and truly hope you are able to finish this game to your satisfaction.

Oh and technical updates and reworks are always welcome.

OK finished episode, really good job, like a lot of things. Really nice job. As for interest level among these 4, if I was to rank them.

1. Rachel's dispperance - This defintely feels like biggest mystery and story going on as of now. She has some sort of connection to maybe my fav girl, Chloe. So most interested in this story as now.
2. Sam's issues - This comes second, cause I like her a lot. No romance yet, but curious to see where it goes and I just like Sam as a character overall, so easy to get number 2.
3. Conflict with Jocks - Its ok, one of those things, just not my favorite, deal with the bullies or enemies and such, and just not as interesting as other two above.
4. Emily's weight - I actually really love Emily, the reason this is last, cause I really like her chubby self and don't want her to lose these curves and her great body. If Vanessa's or Rachel's body is fine, why not Emily. Idk, just my thoughts, I like her as is now, she is perfect in my eyes, so I put this last, mainly cause I just don't want her to change.

Yeah that is how I would rank amound those 4 storylines and thoughts on them.

Other thoughts
- A little sad the femdom character is Vanessa. Was hoping for Sam or Chloe. Vanessa is just the character I find the least visually appealing to me, maybe I'll still explore route, cause the scene was really hot, good job there, enjoyed what she made us do. Just a little let down it couldn't have been Sam or Chloe, cause I like them so much more.
- Hope for a bit of Sam progression next episode, only one lagging behind now, which is fine based on things, but hope to pick things up slighlty.
- Side girls are amazing, Paris and Lindsay are so hot, kind of wish they were main girls, but am fine with current girls. I hope to get a little time with them at some point maybe.

But really good job, really enjoyable. Liked this episode. Now I hope you can spend a little time to enjoy the holidays and hope it is good for you.

I’m enjoying the game so far, and the ending of the last episode definitely hooked me. But man… the MC is just way too spineless for my taste.

His behavior would totally make sense if he’d arrived on Earth at 18, but he didn’t. He grew up here, went to the same school as everyone else, around the same people, and he’s supposed to be a normal 18-year-old senior.

Yet half the time he acts like he just discovered humans yesterday. A girl offers him a beer and he’s like, “But we’re not 21.” A girl starts grinding on him and he wonders if that’s a boyfriend–girlfriend thing or if it’s even appropriate.

It goes beyond being a shy virgin, his best friend is one and acts way more normal. The MC just flips between normal teen and full-on alien energy, which makes some scenes feel pretty weird.

Still, I’m curious for the next episode.
