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

[JustCallMeSteve]

Also don't forget that Abby now also has gained an ally of which Frank almost never can say no to: Meiko. She uses sweet talk to coerce Frank, of which we've seen is much more effective than being pushy like Abby and Becca are doing.

After finishing the latest update(presumably), I must add that that I suspect that Meiko may actually be the avenue through which Abby discovers the existence of the DPG, via the texts being sent to the group chat.

I don't understand the desire of some people to see Abby get fucked by Franck, whether it's physically or otherwise, she's the least attractive female character in the game after all

I'd personally give that honor to Shannon.

abby has has enough punishments from Shannon if i remember correctly, how she is reverting back to being more clildish is pretty obvious no denying that.

In my opinion it is pretty clear to see that as Abby grew to more resemble Jessica, Shannon grew more and more jealous and of course petty. As such Shannon's attitude towards her may have escalated to be much closer to how she acted with Jessica.

Honestly even if Shannon hadn't done what she did specifically, I suspect that the marriage would not have lasted much longer due to her attitude towards Abby and being discontent with not being able to truly get one over/enjoy getting one over on her old rival.

plenty off incest VN's have a patreon ,they just avoid being removed via "3rd party I patch" , manual input relationships and other tricks.

the "its because off patreon" is a weak and overused excuse for this VN not moving forward.
but you're right,it seems that the dev has finally take a step to actually go forward.
maybe abby will stop being just a tease LI

well patreon hunts 3rd party patches too (they have/had infiltrator at F95 when 70-80 games got reported).

I agree there. Especially since she basically had her current face when she met Frank and was about 16 (what were you smoking, Frank?).

She seemed interested in him, put out as the parlance is, she also may have been his first, but I can't recall if that is true or not.

Like many teenagers he made stupid decisions, then distraught over his wife's death and raising Abby alone he fell backwards into the same bad habits and the same/similar stupid decisions.

Which is a shame since from the flashbacks and such it seems like Frank had really grown and come into his own as a person prior to once more entering Shannon's orbit.

Frank did said to Abby (in the conversation where he revealed he wasn't her biological father) that love had made him dumb (and blind to Shannon's flaws). At least he stood up against her when he told her that he wasn't her emotional punching bag anymore when she made that impromptu visit to his and Abby's flat while looking for Becca and Lily.

Aside from the uncanny valley faces, i do enjoy the story. Been a hot minute since i last played this but got curious about the latest updates. Overall, pretty enjoyable but the MC is kinda infuriating. He's selfrighteous and spineless, i guess he forgot to add his balls to the prenup 'cause i'm pretty sure Shannon still has them. And he clearly has a footfetish, spending all day getting walked all over and being too much of a wimp to do anything about it.

I dunno why Frank thinks talking to Nessa will magically give him a way to avoid Abby; Nessa's been very up front that she cannot give him answers, just listen to him and while he thinks various options out and give an opinion, and she's done that already. She told him he either lets Abby go, almost literally I imagine by moving into his own place and reducing contact and time around Abby--which Frank will never ever do because he loves her and is terrified by the idea of losing her--or to give Abby what she wants and be romantically involved with the caveat that they would likely need to cut ties with anyone that knows them (of course this was before she learned of Frank's harem) and move to a place no one knows them. I say they build a compound on the land their inherited cabin is at and have the whole extended family hole up there. But that might be biting off what I see for the future of Grandma's House with his property that will likely be a small town that includes Thomas' own cult that worships his penis, but not Thomas himself. I appreciate that distinction. Frank wishes he had that confidence.

I also liked Frank's exchange with Tanya in the shower and him being weirded out that she and Ashton were nude around each other, because Frank then had the thought of being nude around his sister and he wasn't grossed out, more of a "I got enough to worry about without adding to it."

Just finished the update, the MC is still being super annoying with the whole Abby thing, but I guess we can't really expect him to suddenly change his behaviour. At least now, there is some actual progress and Abby is taking the initiative.

I haven't finished the update, but I have a feeling that the conversations with Nessa are primarily so that he has someone to talk to who isn't trying to get into his pants. Honestly, who else could he talk to about his worries? Meiko's father? His sister? It reminds me a little of the dynamic between my best friend and me: I can't really help her with her problems, but it helps her to have someone who is willing to listen to her problems and care about her.

So am curious how dies the dev handle incest here? Doesn't patreon that even though its stepdad or something?

True, but Single Again isn't on Patreon anymore. Dev is only on Patreon with their new game Mythic Desires. After the initially purge SubscribeStar post-payment processor censorship (which mostly seems to have ended currently) they don't seem to have too much of an issue with incest anymore so it seems safe for this game. The most recent patch even has an intimate kiss between Lilith and Becca. We can't get much closer to related-by-blood incest in this game.

news flash! ,single again has been delisted from patreon by the dev himself.

It's still his old Patreon account..and still has single again old posts(most recent one in march) won't he get purged for the mere fact the old posts associated are associated with single again?

 

[Hxeros]

And what the hell I didn't even know the dev was working on another game..at this rate this one won't be completed any time soon

We don't know, but considering he is one of the smaller devs there is imo little chance of it happening unless someone reports his account or unless he posts updates of the newer versions.

The old versions are borderline incest when looking at Patreon guidelines, seeing how he isn't Becca's and Lilith's stepfather anymore at the moment he starts doing stuff with them. The most recent version however is a different story.

And what the hell I didn't even know the dev was working on another game..at this rate this one won't be completed any time soon

I've read that the primary reason he did this is so that he can continue gaining money through Patreon and apparently non-incest related content seem to be more popular on paid platforms.

Think of it like what Mr Dots had to do back in the day whilst working on DMD.

Thanks for the clarity

I actually saw DMD..after all the chapters were completed

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Only 3 Grammar niggles this time! or at least the only 3 I caught.

"No your not" and "your so fucking tight" should both be "you're"

and "You coming, Becca." should be "You coming, Becca?"

Aside from that, an enjoyable update, things are moving!

A lot less.
