VN Ren'Py SpaceCorps XXX [S2 v2.9.5] [RanliLabz]

[kurupt87]

While I don't agree with your overall point, it sounds like you've hit on a solution for your own gameplay. Could you not just play the game as a Bi-Dom who dominates MC from start to finish?

I am a bi dom.
I don't play many games where the aim is to repeatedly ruin the MC's day, m or f protag. Very rarely play those games but, when I do I'd need to be attracted to the MC - I'm not attracted to this MC. Not attracted to most of the models tbh, far too ripped for me. But that's an aesthetic thing and irrelevant really.
I especially don't play them GoR/fuckslut style when they're narrated 2nd person - I'd need to skip all the writing, which seems a bit of a waste considering the medium.
As seems to be intended, I play m protag 2nd person games as an avatar for myself. Which is why I didn't enjoy this game.
But, it's hardly my fault for unwittingly stumbling into a game where the MC is repeatedly raped when the game description makes no mention of this core character trait. Is it.

As others have noted, the game’s description lets you know the set-up of the game - and as you’ve been informed, you stopped playing just before the two biggest scenes in which MC dominates. He is, however, not a sub unless players choose to make him one; and can avoid every single sexual encounter.

On the second person point: You can choose his name - so call him ‘You Yourself’ and the worse you’ll endure is a touch of bad grammar [which I can safely say we’re all used to on this site ] There’s nothing to say that you have to play the game as an avatar, or to identify In any way with MC. The game - like all media - is what you choose to make of it

I don't think I did though? I missed the yellow woman but if the 2nd was the interrogator, unless I'm going mad, dom'ing her gives you game over - which means that it's an irrelevant non-choice there to show a funny end. Because that's where I quit, after her scene when I got the live with your choices option again, that I was depressingly familiar with.

You completely misunderstand the 2nd person problem - it is the "you" that is the problem.
If it were "he" then I'd have much less problem playing it fuckslut style but, "you" is incredibly accusatory and can't be gotten past.
Hell, even "I" would be better - an MC with a strongly defined character can be "I" during lewd scenes and it wouldn't bother me whatever kink they got into.
But "you" is obviously me, the player. Which is why most games use it, they want the player engaged, it's the strength of games a a medium afterall, that engagement.
So I have to deal with the "you" and the submissive content because I want most of the kinks on - just not with the MC as the sub. And if I reject them then they're banned and wtf am I to do now?

If you played the scene through, after she rides you you can flip her on the table and have sex with her for a good ending (the trigger choice is something along the lines of ‘I don’t it to stop’).

Well, again, you can just call your character You Yourself - but I think the internet already has enough pronoun discussions without furthering this one

 

[Dreadder]

Fantastic! Thank Dreadder Saved me a lot of rootling round - and everyone is more than welcome to look at my code [if they can bear to see the horror ]. Should be fixed now.

Glad to be of service.

Well, I'm no programmer but the code looked otherwise perfectly ok to me. It's just that it's getting a wee bit complex in places with all the variables and branches, so missing a step or two every once in a while is a certainty at this point.

Oh, I just hope you also corrected the indentation of the following part of that script, since it was off a bit as well.

That was actually the bit I needed to change [no need for else, since changing the indent means an automatic skip to 3b for non-bi].

 

[SuddenReal]

Kind of an anarcho-libertarian, tho - she's not really on board with an equity agenda.

Damn those archaic librarians!

They’re so darn musty!

Need a "All of the females" option.

Damnit! Realised too late I should have mentioned their equine agenda.

Well, you can have them all anyway... but one is more equal than the others

Damnit! Realised too late I should have mentioned their equine agenda.

Please,

First of all: YAY SAM
...
Makes sense she is an anarchist, looking back at the convos with her.
...
I know a few socialists though. My ex for instance. Ex being the imperative word.

Yes, she is rather toward anarchism. And there is a big difference between socialism and communism, although it seems that a rather big part of one continent doesn't understand it at all. I have rather first hand experience and I am glad I can talk about in past tense. - But back to our beloved Sam. I hope very much that his episode will appear together with St.Nicolas at 5th December evening

 

[Aykonn]

Om

Thanks boundarrio I think a lot of SpaceCorps fans come after playing some of the bigger games, looking for something different (and that's sort of why I made it!) One major difference is that SpaceCorps - while written in the first person - is much more like a third-person experience in which you puppet MC rather than inhabit him (e.g. he has his own character, not much POV imagery).

That my thinking! I get that not everyone likes nice - but he's hardly 'boring' nice considering what he's been up to in the last 12 hours of real time!

You should see some of the suggestions I get People can be rather... specific.

Instant game death, I think I was taking a risk by making his cock 'only' 8.66 inches long, since a lot of the big games are in the 1-2 foot range. In at least one of those, I'd like to see a love interest take one look, scream, and run away

Omg I love YOU RanliLabz and Your game. Keep on going dude, top 10 porn games on the internet for sure. But GIVE ME THAT FUCKING VOLCHAK ROUTE OR I'LL GO BALLISTIC . It was such a beautiful twist that the alien belonging to a species of sex driven barbarians is such a decent , kind, guy that empathizes with MC and takes pity on him.

Edit: sorry about the weird English lol. Hope you get what I mean.

Well, it won't be out by the fifth - but it should be by Christmas! [as should a Patron treat ]

Much appreciated, Aykonn! And you know I like to subvert expectations with my characters

Game is looking cool, still playing.

Thanks JmTrad! Plenty more to come! [Game that is - not obsolete windows sound effects ]

Since I don't have that option, consider this my thumbs down.

I guess some 4-5 years. There are some risks, but so far I have my hopes
