VN Ren'Py Something To Write About Unbroken [Book 1 Steam] [STWAdev]

[Matt2012021]

Would like to say i am shocked that the update is not coming out this year but no other devs take notes on what not to do this one has gone from a great one to trash all for steam well done.

 

[Joratox]

I remember how i thought back in february "hmmm the update should be there soon" which probably was my fault.

Whats this bullshit compromise about part 1 and 2 tho, patreons would still have to sub for january too if the want the full version with his idea. I dont think it is intended to be, but it IS scummy as hell even if he did not intended it lol.

He should just give everyone who messages him a refund, doubt it would be this much people anyway (i figure most subs are fine subbing one month more) but at least it would be a clean and honest process and give the few who are annoyed about it a solution (even if they dont use this solution).

I had a really good impression of this dev but it kinda got destroyed during this year entirely

Don't wanna be a "white knight" too much, but maybe don't make assumptions if you don't know what the deal is. Besides having patreon paused for half a year because of the delay, Stew will give out part 2 to people subbed in December, no matter if they resub in January. Always fun to see people who are not subbed trashing devs around...smh

Edit: He only unpaused Patreon in December because he thought he'd be able to release this month. Since he promised to keep the pause until the month of the release, not being able to release led to the awkward decision for part 1/2 thing.

Huh? How am i not informed if i replied to a devlog from the dev? Its unpaused in december and januar, there is no mention in his devlog of people who sub in december getting the part 2 in january "on top" as you claim without subbing again in his post. You can just opt to NOT sub in december (if you were smart to not trust a avn devs deadlines) but to wait for january to get both parts if you havent subbed already.

And i subbed to this dev in the past in update-months (i only ever sub in update months in general) so i dunno ... "maybe dont make assumptions if you dont know what the deal is."?

And i have not even "trashed" the dev, i even stated that i believe that it wasnt his intention but i still think it sucks and is kinda scammy.

It was talked about as a possibility on Patreon and discord so yeah, you're assuming without full knowledge. And since you didn't say "kinda scammy" but "scummy as hell", it counts as trashing. Calling someone scummy is an insult if you have a basic English understanding, which I believe you have, considering your pretty decent writing/grammar.

Edit: Doing another edit since I don't want to post again to make more clutter. Since you got a bit defensive there, I'm not trying to argue with you or demean you in some way, if you got it like that, sorry. I just pointed out that maybe, just maybe, don't assume the worst if you are not in the know(You would known this if you were currently subbed).
Imma stop this line of argument here from my part, I've said what I wanted and more than this is just spamming the thread and making people read too much to see the important posts, like the updates and shiet.

I agree that my wording was too harsh but otherwise my point still stands. And im basing my decisions on subs on devlogs not on information on discord or patreon i have to search up.

You backpadeled too as its now apparently just a possibility and not a fact ... so my assumptions (which was based on the devlog concering the release!) dont seem that wrong?

Anyway, i showed some understanding but i still think the outcome sucks (for customers like me at least).

Its not like its a big deal and like i couldnt just pirate part 2 (or both). Im just voicing my dissatisfaction with the process here. Its not like the dev has to read it or to care about my opinion.

Decisions/outcomes like these make it at least more likely that im just gonna pirate like most of us here (not like hes missing out on much on me as i always just sub in update months but there are maybe/probably more people like me).

Anyway, its kinda whatever, the update(s) will come at some point

Not sure if this was brought up before, but I downloaded the steam version to get ready for the new one and unless I'm missing something Serena was never a potential LI. Now she has four variables. Is she going to be a LI now or what? Have they always been there?

serenafriend, serenalover, serenafwb, serenainterestingirls.

 

[Matt2012021]

yes

 

[MF_DOOM]

I don't get why people argue about stuff like that.
Stew fucked up badly, he apologized. If you can find it in your heart to forgive him, good. If you can't just move on, there are plenty of games out there.

But if I do that then how will I be able to act like the victim here?

I believe we could always become FWB with her (at least ever since the original release on Steam we had some lewd scenes with her), but I can remember her never wanting to become MC's girlfriend.

I can vaguely remember a scene where she shows interests in girls, but I'm not that sure considering I've only played through the game twice and the lasttime was quite a while ago (May this year).

Man a throuple with Serena and a certain stacked redhead would be sweet. Once this game is complete I see myself having like 5 different playthrough saves just to get with the different girls, they are all great in different ways. Honestly this is one of the hardest things about this game, some games a LI is easy to turn down for me but I like all of them in this.

I thought it was a harem game and wanted to download it, but if you can't have all the LI´s, then it's not a harem game and it's not worth downloading.

So I might be wrong but it's been discussed that there are endings for each LI as well as I think 3 throuple endings? Game isn't even close to over though and I have a terrible memory so don't hold me to that.

It seems to become a harem game though, it's just that we cannot get in an "official" harem-relationship(yet.

Currently only 1 out of the more serious possible LI's we meet (I don't count the ring-girls) seems not interested in a relationship with MC (Serena). There are still 5 other LI's you can currently date with at the same time (even if I remember correctly nothing lewd happens with Elspeth in book 1), and if I'm not mistaken you could even build up lesbian points with most if not all of them for possible future three- or moresomes.

Hmm, then it's not a harem, and the tag is just bait. What you described is an open relationship or a three-way relationship, not a harem. A harem means the MC gets all the women, and I can do without lesbian bullshit. I hate lesbian crap because the games are flooded with it. (Translated with Google)

A harem (according to this website) means a 1-on-3 or more sexual relationship. That is currently still possible for the future, even if it's not yet implemented for MC as of book 1.

There is however already a harem in the game: One of MC's best friends has a cameo in this game, and that person is the MC of the previous game in the franchise (The Author). You can decide with who that character ended when you meet him, and one if the choices is a harem.

Well, the OP’s post has been reported multiple times, I did too, mods are adamant about keeping "harem" tag though. You can try your luck and report it as well.

The game has pretty much the same style as The Author (Dev’s previous game) - you can mess around if you wish and eventually choose who you end up with. A few throuple options, as people already mentioned, are on the table as well.

Thanks for your answer. I think I'll skip until the game has a real harem and doesn't just use the tag as bait to lure in harem fans only to leave them disappointed. I hate that kind of thing, but thanks for clearing that up. I almost downloaded the game for nothing. You really saved me time. (Translated with Google)

To further clarify since things, a few quotes from the dev:

Spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So it's essentially the same as their previous game in that you can be promiscuous for quite a while, but will eventually need to pick a LI or throuple.

I suspect it tagged 'harem' here because, for now, you can sexually be involved with 3+ LIs that know about each other. But it does not appear to be intended as a harem game with a harem ending.

Lame. Dev already teased MC sleeping with 3 girls and all three of those LI who discussed it with interest have lesbian point opportunities. Why the fuck wouldn't that create an option for more than a throuple? Talk about rug pulls ...
