VN Ren'Py Stepping Over Oneself [v0.02] [PixelFrogFoundry]

[EnTeeArrr]

Ugh another game where you need to be a distant jerk to get NTR, whole point of NTR for me is betrayal, not much betrayal if you push them away like that. Prefer when it comes from being loving and devoted but cowardly and indecisive.

And I can't stand those peaople who have to tell us each and every time. Just go away and look somewhere else, mate!

Well, that would be a lot easier if these things weren't shoved into our feeds w/o indication. I'd argue these shouldn't even be considered visual novels. They're novella's with the rare picture.

Every single one of these devs is putting together the exact same puzzle with the exact same pieces, just slightly differently. Every single one of the relationships in these games should be promptly ended. The characters in each game might look different, but they all have the same, identical role and behaviors. They've taken something inspired by choose your own adventure novels, transitioned it to a visual format. That way you have less text-based context, and it's quickly translated visually. These phone games then remove the last remnants of context, go back to being fully text-based, and what we're left with is two characters seemingly gaslighting each other while both parties friends insert themselves into the problem. The MC is being told he doesn't care, while you are actively choosing every decision to show you care. So, excuse me when 5min in I'm choosing every option that shows how apathetic I've become before the story ends with just another argument.

People would be infinitely more accepting of these games if they weren't all the same generic bs. There's a reason why the hundreds upon hundreds of these games all only have a handful of supporters. Once you've seen one, you've literally seen them all. It would be like if every "traditional" VN was about a college kid hooking up with a drunk chick at a party and promptly ended before the sex scene. That's how generic, lazy and boring these phone games are. We're not hating on these games bc it's AI, nor bc of it being a phone game, but bc it's the same regurgitated, generic slop.

You speak like these are all made by the same person lol. I have criticisms for how its done but not for its mere existence, the phone format suites the medium imo, since its text and not voice. I feel more immersion than traditional VN tbh when its done right. This one is a bit boring and doesn't do the flavour of NTR I like but yeah, crying on a forum isn't going to stop people from making what they want, especially a pirate board, most of us are not making these games so you're yelling at the clouds.

Guys that come out with such negativity, what did the dev do to all of you? He's just trying to see that his vision is adapted to a game. Regardless of genre, he shouldn't be the victim of such negativity.

Just click away, and move on. Learn to be disappointed and not complain about it every time, it's stressful to bait yourself into arguing all the time.

Yeah I partially agree with you. It's a common "trope" to write that way because it's easiest to think of. There are a lot of other creative ways to write NTR.

You play as Matthew, a programmer preparing to marry his fiancée, Ashley. Told in the style of a modern messenger, the story unfolds through photos, texts, inner thoughts, and layered conversations. The past begins to surface—ex-lovers, old friends, and unresolved feelings collide with the couple’s future.

something is not told right here. In reality you'll not play a young couple, but 5 years after your marriage. So you'll have to cope to keep your wife who's bored with you. As the pacing is very very slow, you must enjoy the "She's bored with me because I'm a nerd, and I know the relation is fucked" trope. Maybe when something is broke, it's just too late. As the game is very tedious about this "repair" thing, it's not so exciting.

Hello everyone, this is my first game, inspired by many games from this site, I want to express special thanks to Taptus, he helped me a lot. Without him this game would not be! I hope you appreciate my game, I wrote it based on my real story.

Good luck.
Lovely bride!
Next time let's try non-phone novel.

I prefer 1000 MC assholes, than the usual MC idiots without balls and doormats, at least, in your game, we are aware of destroying the marriage, no, like in others, where Mc is the usual useless cuckold spectator. so yes, you did your job well.

 

[lupomangiatutti]

the truth is that the first time a game like this, gives us the opportunity to decide how to treat our wife, and whether to bring her closer to us, or push her to cheat on us, but in this VN, a focal point is MC, he may be an asshole, but he is not the usual idiot represented in many similar games, better asshole than moron and idiot. Perhaps, those who complain, are the players who want to be cuckolded idiots, here, we have the choice, I repeat, choice, to decide. and already having a choice, in a game, makes us MC participants, not simple spectators.

Friends, Hater gave my game a bad rating. If you really like my game, then please give it 5 stars.
