So here's a post I've been meaning to put together for a while.
First, a bit of background. I've been a fan of SR7's work for years, since he was posting Gargoyles and TMNT artwork on the WWOEC forums. I've been one of his patrons for longer than I'd care to admit, which I've justified as paying $5 a month for some gorgeous artwork, packaged in a fairly well written, if occasionally buggy, VN.
I was originally optimistic about the 2-month schedule. I thought that if SR7 could concentrate for longer on each step of development for each new version, we'd see much better versions overall. Sadly it wasn't to be.
I'm sure everyone knows what buggy, steaming piles 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 were, so I won't waste my time ragging on them. I was on the verge of giving up on sending any more Patreon bucks and relying on you fine file-sharers here on F95.
I figured I'd give him one more chance.
And then we got version 2.1.8, and 2.1.888 shortly after, with this simply amazing Yacht event.
To say I enjoyed this event immensely would be an understatement. Gorgeous new characters, dialogue that varies between hilarious and sexy almost effortlessly, and of-course, amazing artwork. It's not without it's faults or room for improvement, as I'll get into shortly, but it's set the bar back to where it should be. If these new 'complete a girl' versions can keep this up, SR7 will have a patron in me for a long time to come.
Anyway, into the nitty gritty - reviewing what's currently in the yacht event:
• The Henchwomen
◦ Mercy. Loved seeing her in that canonical evening gown at last (I think we saw that in one of thefirst promo images for this game). It's unfortunate her script had to see her get practically blackout drunk in order to fuck Lex, but I suppose it wasn't going to work any other way. Handjob was OK, sex and anal were great.
◦ Harley. Nice use of the Suicide Squad dress, although personally I'd have replaced the gold and black pattern with red and black to fit better with this version of the character. Good dialogue and sex scenes, particularly the vaginal.
◦ Cheshire. Gorgeous dress. Handjob was nice, sex and anal were very good, but I would've liked her to get her tits out at some point. Probably the best henchwoman.
◦ Galatea. Very funny choice of dress. Titjob and sex were good.
◦ Blackfire. Probably the weakest of the henchwomen. A black-tie sex party full of gorgeous evening gowns, and she turns up in a fucking prom dress? The tit job was nice, but nothing on either Galatea's or Superwoman's, and the sex scene was probably the least of all six also.
◦ Superwoman. Gotta love a dress with absolute cleavage. Dialogue in the bar was brilliant. Nice titjob, but something about the sex scene was a bit 'meh'.
• Other characters
◦ Black Manta and Victoria – Absolute Hilarity. Love Manta's outfit and dialogue. Victoria is very sexy (love a girl in uniform); can't wait to see her blowjob scene
◦ Cheetah – Not really my cup of tea, but decent nonetheless.
◦ Circe – A nice surprise. Well written. Very sexy.
◦ Deathstroke and Ravager – Another nice surprise. Wasn't all too keen on the booze and smokes dialogue angle, but very well drawn.
◦ Jinx – Yet another nice surprise. Good dialogue, very nice blowjob.
◦ Livewire – Love her outfit. Love her sex scene.
◦ Penguin and the Birds – Gotta love girls in leotards and fishnets. Can't wait for the blowjob placeholder to be sorted.
◦ Poison Ivy – Nice design for her formal dress. Pity she's got no sex content. More on that later.
◦ Talia al Ghul – OH MY GOD! LOVE IT. Seriously, who doesn't love a femme-fatale assassin with a sexy accent. SR7 – Please sort out her placeholder ASAP!
As I've said, there's room for improvement. And I'm not just talking about filling in the place-holders. Here's a few ideas (SR7, if you see these, of if SmokeShank or Locke show them to you, feel free to use them):
• Add more characters, but don't add them as dates. This event is repeatable, and everyone's going to want to play through it at least 6 times – once for each henchwoman/date. Right now, with the way the event's set up, you have 3 sexual encounters per run (not including jacuzzi scenes or henchwoman encounters). That means you're going to run through 18 scenes over your six playthroughs. Right now, there are 9 unique scenes, including placeholders. Thus, you will be seeing
scenes more than once across your 6 playthroughs. This needs sorting. So either add more scenes forthe current girls, or add more non-date girls to pad things out. Characters already in the game who could be added: Tala, Catwoman, Roulette, Giganta, Star Sapphire. Other DC characters who could be added: Calendar Girl, Roxy Rocket, Volcana, Aresia, Queen Bee
• When we repeat the event, let us see the scene where Lex asks out his henchwoman of choice. I chose Mercy on my first playthrough, expecting hilarity (which I received), but I'm curious how the other 5 would react to being asked out, and don't want to start new files from scratch just for that. A quick 'Show this scene' option when repeating the event should be easy to incorporate.
• There's also a a big opportunity to add loads more little scenes - right before Lex retires to his room with his date. Whether you're by the dance floor to collect Harley/Galatea/Cheshire, or the bar to collect Mercy/Blackfire/Superwoman, the script makes a point of saying something like 'You take a moment to look at everyone else fucking in the area'. So why not show this? Show a quick scene of one of the girls you haven't spoken to. A few suggestions;
◦ Talia on one of the bar tables, getting eaten out by a random guy
◦ Circe getting blow-banged by a few guys
◦ Penguin's henchgirls having a lesbian threesome (possibly with Penguin passed out on the background)
◦ Livewire getting DP'd on the dance floor
◦ Cheetah getting 'railed over the railing' (Thanks Galatea for that lovely turn of phrase)
Shouldn't be too hard to come up with ideas for the rest of the girls. (I know this will have people yelling 'cuck!' or 'NTR!' at me, but I don't care.)
• Also, Poison Ivy. Spinning off from the above, if you do talk to her, then why not have that lead to unlocking scenes of her having fun with one of the ladies you've ignored? (Have her be the one eating out Talia, for example?)
Finally, this would make a lovely template for the next event. Here's what I'd like to see; Luthor finds out (probably from one of the craftier hire-able villains, Shade maybe) the the Justice League have planned a party of their own, and plans to sneak in. He replicates the body-swap with Flash, picks one of the heroines from the cells to be his guide/escort, and sneaks on the Watchtower to gather intel. Oh, and fuck all the minor DC heroines who probably aren't well known or popular enough to deserve cell content. I'm talking about Fire, Ice, Crimson Fox, and Gypsy from JLU, Bumblebee and Argent from Teen Titans, Rocket and Wonder Girl from Young Justice, etc. Sound's good, right?
Anyway, I think that's enough. Great job. Now keep it up.
