VN Ren'Py Single Again [v1.25.02] [Clever name games]

[MrLKX]

I agree with you so far, only with Meiko I have to add something:

Meiko's story is tl;dr as follows:
Meiko finishes school and starts working at the cash register in her parents' store. Frank returns and her parents start trying to set her up with Frank.

So we see: she had no social life whatsoever away from work, not to mention friends. So you can sort of say she grew up super sheltered. The same can be said about Abby after Jessica's death, but she was able to "develop" her personality more freely thanks to Lilly and Becca. Mei also has siblings, but here again the age difference is so pronounced that she might as well have had no siblings.

Therefore, I think that her naivety and also her shyness is absolutely sincere. After all, Frank does bring it up with her parents and we notice slow changes as she interacts more with Abby, Becca and Lilly. Long story short: The fact that she didn't have any friends in school or the possibility to interact privately with people of about the same age have made Meiko the shy Meiko. I think you can also compare it well with a cat that has never interacted much with people her whole life. Only that Mei is much less "aggressive" looking for defense but rather retreats like a turtle.

1) Just found this game this week so i had no idea models looked differently
2) I dont hate Frank a- I like Frank his character - very much dislike "super alpha" logic MC who if you dig deeper is live in moms basement
3) The dreams in this game are important - to flesh out the story in the beginning but toward the end of current content needed to be less - that is why i am sayng Editor is needed

And finally it a good game has postentail to be great (leap of faith, acting lessons, long road home, chasing sunsets, young again are the games i consider 5star

Hold your horses...

There is a huge difference between a Chad Thundercock, a normal person, and Frank...

from my post before " But even I was getting weary of OMG so much trouble dialogue - need to be toned down just a bit. "

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or if you deliberately chose the name of the protagonist of a certain VN.

And yes, Frank may seem a bit out of touch with the world at times, but I see him as more of an introvert with enormous emotional scars due to Jessica's death.

It may also be that I recognize myself in Frank to an unhealthy degree:

"That's not lying, that's bending the truth." - A phrase I also said 1:1 when it came up in conversation with Mei.

We both like the series Community.

We push massive paranoia about things that could go wrong.

I don't have the dreams and foster daughter or stepdaughters though, though I do have a former acquaintance who has a daughter named like one of Shannon's daughters. I should possibly be concerned.

I wish you well... and hope you're in therapy...

Been a while since I played this game. What the hell happened to Lilith's face ?
She looks like a scarecrow with an expired make-up. Was gorgeous before

question on the last choice in this update... or more like the WT recommendation on not to take the pill... what's the rationale behind that?

The was few strange decisions on this WT. I don't know what's the big picture either..

The walkthough recommends the "canon" choices but there is no evidence that deviating from these choices is bad except for a few instances where you get an immediate bad end. Sometimes, the canon choices give you less content. So this is a game I typically play without the walkthrough. I guess the choice on whether to take the pill or not depends on how good of a night you want Lilith to have.

I'm confused... just checked the "official" (not sure if that comes from the dev) WT pdf linked in the OP, and there the pill option is highlighted as canon... so which is it?

How is anything they just explained confusing? Canon options are green. Canon options sometimes suck and offer less content. that isn't always the case. Do what you want, just know that if you're following the canon choices then you're making the choices that Frank would canonically make and that Frank's a big ol' wet blanket so that isn't always a good thing.

maybe I should have phrased differently... my original post was about the WT mod, where the pill option isn't recommended... I haven't read the pdf before, so I was surprised when he said the WT uses canon choices... if he's referring to the pdf then it's clear of course.

There is one time I can think of where the walkthrough mod highlights a less popular canon choice, and another time that's kinda 50/50. It's the choice that decides whether Mei shows Frank her underwear I think it is, or goes completely naked. I think there's also a choice with the chess game where it highlights the canon choice, which gets you an Aby dildo scene, where as the non canon choice has a number of sexy choices.
I might be misremembering a little, it's been a long time. If you want to get every scene, or know why you're picking your choice then I'd recommend the PDF over the mod, but if you know which choices to look out for the mod is fine. I think there's a few times where it picks a sexier choice over the canon choice too.
