VN Ren'Py Strangers on Paper [Ch.2 v0.2.2] [Gloomy Ghost Studio]

[CreedH00d]

Does it matter if you have sex with Becca?
I mean, the next scenes are the same whatever you chose (about the shower and both of you slept together).
And Tony still "got mad" at us.

I've always wondered this. Is it patreon or patron when referring to someone who donates to a creator on Patreon? Because I've seen both.

Also renders look amazing as fuck. Ok, I'll give this one a go.

patron, basically a customer. could also say a patreon member

That's what I thought too but at some point, I just figured people saying just "patreon" was some kind of quirky spin on "patron" due to the site's name, "Patreon". Maybe just a language/lazy thing.

This game did manage to uphold the promise of being a total and utter simp for two girls who treat MC like the afterthought his own ”best friend” is keeping him for - there are petty assholes out there who keep folk like MC around just so they can feel better about themselves in comparison. MC is a downer who tries too much and achieves mixed results - the cheerleader turns out to be engaged and the sister is surrounded by maniacal narcisists who like to impose and harass people - case in point the rocker chick who harasses Becca for sex and we can be happy she fights back after MC has been catering to her huge ego enough time, blowing enough smoke up her uptight back side for her to refuse the hedonistic harrassers who have invaded her life - because a promiscuous skank who acts like a brat gets abused pretty quick by like minded individuals, She sometimes catches breaks out of that rough aimless life - like it is in this game where she gets to have MC around to ground her overblown hubris - she is the sore, infected bleeding heart where MC is putting a band aid to during this game.

He asks MC to get close to and support Becca, very well knowingly MC had feelings for her as a teen, he encourages their interaction, but gets annoyed that MC starts to care for his sister.

The brother is just as much of a jar head as Turetto is in the fast and furius - a very good allegory where the brother tries too hard to one up and act like the ”daddy” of MC, telling him how and where to do this or that - only for the sister to fall head over hills over the guy who manages to tame her brother - good on MC!

Tony might be worried about his best friend.

Worried MC gets some spine and stops listening to the bad relationship advice of fake people.

In my opinion the story makes more sense if you follow the same route both episodes

The effects build up - not enough interactions and too small of a splash for your dialogue options in the first chapter, you will end up closed off from the juicier scenes of the second chapter.

Both women's stories are good, but my favorite is Becca's

There is a reason Fast and Furious chose the guy who befriends the brother and ends up knocking the sister up as their representative to the world - the hero of the movies.

Hi. Unfortunately not a Mac user, but imo there went something wrong with the game or Mod installation. As far as i know you have to be careful with merging folders on newer Mac versions. Seems in your case the merging has actually removed already existing files (the missing "window_icon.png" file).

hi, I found it!

When I put the mode in the file (game)
The folder (gui) was empty, so there were missing files/images for the game, so I put the file back after putting the mods and it's fixed

We don't know yet but considering last chapter was released like a month ago it's probably still far away from release.

It seems like everyone has already commented on how amazing and gorgeous the game is, both in terms of it's narrative and visuals which is all true, but one issue I didn't see anyone bring up enough and that's about the pathetic excuse of an sex scene.
Everything was going great till the sex scene which feels like it's out of an cheap movie where you can't show proper nudity.
Would've much rather preferred if the update just ended instead of such an half assed outcome in the form of a sex scene.

 

[Canto Forte]

How else would MC get belittled and diminished and emasculated and shamed if he was not portrayed as a premature inexperienced oversensitive simp to the overly experienced sex on tap man eater that decided to have him bare and eat him up in a gulp?

Everything was going great till the sex scene which feels like it's out of an cheap movie where you can't show proper nudity.

This game has to dig MC a bigger hole for himself, or else ”emotion” and ”drama” would not be achieved.

I disagree, that sex scene was focused on the emotional side it also deals with themes that I was honestly surprised to see in a game like this (MCs fears, sex ending without her having an orgasm), It is not something many will like but removing this sex scene I think removes some interesting information about both MC and Becca's personalities.

Compared to other AVNs it's a very mild scene, but also consider that the MC has a crush on Becca and it's been a while since he had sex, so this was the most realistic outcome, I appreciate the devs trying something different here.

I'm not talking about any of the narrative/emotional aspects of it, i'm strictly speaking from a visual standpoint.
How is the whole game going to look like a masterpiece with every render that can be used as a wallpaper but the main pay off for what your characters have been building upto so weak?
That has to be one of the worst sex scenes visually i have ever come across, you can't appreciate the beauty of Becca at all cause you don't even see her naked body properly, no boobs, no pussy and neither do you witness any proper penetration.
Has to be the only weak aspect of this whole game.

Author's vision, I suppose. I'm not sure if they can technically create animations but they definitely could render at different angle. Yet Gloomy Ghosts deliberately chose not to. They already have that wide screen resolution for movie-like effect. The scene might be an extension of the setting. GGs are really the only one who can answer that. Anyway, calling it "pathetic excuse of an sex scene" mostly shows your frustration by absence of genitals you can look at. It's hardly can be called an objective criticism

Couldn't really care about animations, they are extremely overrated and waste too much development time.
The reason i called it pathetic is definitely because of my frustration of how the sex scene is so vastly inferior to everything else and ends up doing injustice to the overall quality of the game.
Part of the reason why i would've been ok if it just didn't exist, because it clearly doesn't justify the pay off to all of your choices visually at least.
