VN Ren'Py Completed Something to Write About: The Author [Ch. 7.1] [STWAdev]

[Avaron1974]

See, hunni. It's not just the regular posters that love your work.

It's spreading now and you've done an amazing job.

Knock the ending out of the park and you've made fans for life.

Once again, no pressure.

STWAdev This continues to be one of the deepest, most engaging stories here in this site.

Yes, it's a porn game, and no, it's not perfect, but it is so well written and full of emotion that the scenes without sex are amazingly compelling and that makes the scenes *with* sex so much better.

I don't know if you're going to choose a particular route to be canon for your next game (set after this one takes place, yeah?) but the Thruple route with Aoife and Lyndie is just amazing. You've done an amazing job of showing their love for each other and how that affects, in a positive way, their love for the MC. B is part of that package, and I'm eager to see how much involvement she'll have.

At the same time, Chris, Kimberly, and Dru are fantastically written characters in their own right, and I can totally understand a player wanting to have any of them as their main girl.

So, thank you for this. I'm looking forward to finishing your story, and eager to see what you've got coming next.

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you've enjoyed.

There will not be a "canon" route as such. At a point in the first release of the next game you'll be able to both name the mc of this game, and choose which girl he ended up with.

Thanks! Knowing that our choice will be reflected in the new game is a fantastic touch.

And I'm sure you meant to say "choose which *girls* he ended up with", right? Lol

Are you kidding me? If STWAdev had stopped before getting Kimberly to a safe space I would have lost my frickin mind! This was perfect imho.

No. Nuh-uh. Forget it.

The only cliffhanger we needed was: Who is the best girl that MC ends up with, and why is it the Thruple?

I’m coming in late to this game as it was only recently suggested to me, but it has very quickly become one of my favorites. I've enjoyed playing all of the different paths so far.

Each of the character’s story arcs touched me on multiple levels, having dealt with some of those same topics within my own experiences.

I was impressed on how these subjects were treated respectfully and appreciated the overall positive outlook the game has, even as it has the occasional dips and dives through the trenches of tragedy, just like our own lives tend to have. Which makes the game that much more believable.

I can’t wait to see what the final chapter has in store for us!

And seeing how you’re an active dev here on the forums STWAdev, I just wanted to say thank you for being one of the great ones right out of the gate.

Also, just as a bit of fair warning, if there isn’t some sort of Harem option in one of the epilogues, I may well have to mod one in at some point. They joked about it too much to not become a reality!

3some will be 1 ending or those throupie points won't do anything.

Was the originally ending actually, but it felt like a rehash of AL and vaguely exploitative.

That's the goal, most of my games will have dark or tragic elements. The end goal however will always be to tell stories of hope that come from that tragedy.

Glad you enjoyed!

Does that mean we will not be choosing the name of the MC in the next two? Since they already have been named (as this MC's friends) I kind of expected that, but it may turn some ppl off to not get to name their MC.

Yeah, seems like the best thing would have been to allow the player to name the MC and his two childhood friends when starting this game. That way the player could then name the main characters of all of the games instead of just one of them. Of course that means more coding on STWAdev's part... I think.

Actually for clarification Valentine is the MCs last name, you'll choose his first name. Just like in this game where the characters last name is Knight. Went the Mass Effect name route.

Best you'll get for multi girl ending is the throuple with Lyndie and Aoife.

There is no harem, some of the girls are moving on next update, at least Chris is moving home.

The harem talk was just a joke by Dru due to him not making a choice although a choice is made at the end of the last update for some of them.

If the MC tried to keep all the girls I don't think he'd survive very long. Aoife's aunt would have him murdered for being a douche, she isn't someone you annoy.

thanks for the info on best multi girl route

It's arguably the best route. Not just because you get 2 of them but they are so adorable together.

Hehe, you're right there, she's definitely someone you'd not want to anger.

It's mostly a joke, as I know an actual harem route would likely not fit the narrative the game is heading towards. Especially with the hints dropped in a couple of the girl's routes, as you have mentioned and we saw in the game.

But if someone mentions harem in a game, even as a joke, the guy that almost always chooses the harem route has got to hold out hope! Even if it's futile! Or maybe just be prepared to have multiple saves. I really like all the routes so far...

You can't blame me for the dev making everyone so damn interesting!!!

So even in games where you play a black dude not a single ebony is in sight?
