VN Ren'Py Stray Incubus [S2 Ch.2a] [Flynn974]

I'm thinking I'll try adding sound effects and music to chapter 7... If it comes out good (and isn't ridiculously difficult to find and code), I think I'll start gradually putting it in the previous chapters too.

Cool. Just take it easy and don't beat yourself too hard, okay? I hope you get the right balance (and score) or the music and sound effects, even a basic and simple ones can greatly improve the experience for sure. Unfortunately it is an additional work (or undertaking) which can potentially risk of unforeseen 'bugs'. However, the rewards definitely outweight the risks.

My suggestion is that you incorporate music and sound effects onto previous chapters in reverse order, for example while developing Chapter 8, revamp Chapter 6 with music and sound effects, Chapter 9 while revamping Chapter 5 and so on. It is unconventional but I think it will be a more natural experience for new players to notice that music & sound starts playing at Chapter 6 when Chapter 8 becomes available. They can deduce that music and sound effects were added later during game development. If you instead add music & sound to Chapter 1 first, then new players will be puzzled why in the beginnning there is sound, but then silent util Chapter 7 (for the same scenario). Of course it is up to your perogative and any way you decide, there will always be 'Spanish Inquisitions' about it.

Really had fun with chapter 6. Thoroughly enjoyed Clair eating her own words.

Yup. Reverse order is the plan. You really need to develop a game, man. I'll be your first player. You have a developer's mind, I'm telling you!

But spiders have 8 legs, don't they? So shouldn't she have 6 arms?

She's not 100% a spider, though. She's a demi-human, hybrid between a spider and a human.

The math checks out.

Thanks for that picture. It answers to some of the questions. Now people don't have to google anymore what spider pussy looks like

Okay, I need to find out the answer for that "how to obtain a spider waifu" related query

Un question. So choosing not to say anything after Misty Lettting her dad go Locks her out of the game ? I dont think there was enough development and timing for the MC to say anything yet (we dont really know her that well yet), and was hoping that destiny/narrative would bring her to the village anyway. But after going back and checking the other option, makes me think this kicks her out of the game ? Is this true ? I love monster girls and while shes not my favorite type of Arachne, I dont want to see her just vanish from the game only because we didnt say anything.

This is how I see it, MC (and the player) didn't really know Misty that well yet, except that she is a decent, now solitude/lone woman. So the main reason he invited Misty to the Ninja Village is to get to know her better (for players who choose to) among other reasons. It is also believable that she was accepted because of 'recommendations' by the MC and Keres Anabelle.

I could think of at least one scenario where Misty joins the Ninja Village of her own but it was not as natural plot as the existing one, and it will irk players who are not interested in her to continue interaction with her in the first place.

how much femdom?

how much femdom?

Only 1 minor scene which is avoidable (preventable) and femdom is not main theme of the game. My speculation is that the (femdom) female NPC will not get another chance at it since she was not liked (at all) by many vocal players. It is a miracle she even survived from being killed off the game in the first place.

There are actually technically two with the MC and one with between two women, whom the MC can spy on (only if you didn't turn BDSM stuff off).
But all three are avoidable.

Personally, I watched all the scenes and I don't consider any of them to be femdom at all. I only remembered one because it was a huge deal for some players. But yeah, there is always mismatch between tags definition (according to this site) and what players' definition (especially when you consider the pro- vs anti-).

I'll be controversial here and say that if the dev let users' opinions influence that much on the content of this VN, he should open a patreon already. Because he's wasting one of the few upsides of making this game for free, that is having absolute control over it.

Flynn974 still has absolute control over it, that's why she (femdom female NPC) survived because she is a LI after all. The lore is pretty much will not change by any players influence because he has creative control over it.

However, for secondary contents (for example sex scenes, lewd, kinks, fetishes) can be influenced by the players who were giving their honest opinions respectfully. At least, that is what I think because the lewds, kinks don't really alter the story/lore, they are more like bonus contents IMO.
