VN Ren'Py Studio Hearts [v0.2] [Atemsiel]

[MorallyLucky]

I feel like there should be some real world interactions with women he meets in the real world, maybe someone a bit more interesting with something to offer back too...

This is a game about power dynamics (favoring the mc) just as stormside was a bdsm game with power dynamics heavily favoring the mc (you're a prefect that has complete control over how to punish misbehaving girls). Having a normal girl with leverage completely defeats the purpose of that setting and would only make sense as a normal romance story.

MC is still a weirdo simp, such an strange and imo entirely unrealistic guy. Hes just ... contradicting. Muscular, charming, quite fun, good at sex, wealthy YET SUCH A SIMP that he apparently didnt had contact with any chick since forever and instead to jerk off to camgirls

And he didnt not only didnt had sex for this whole time, he lacked ANY KIND of social life or contacts at all.

I hope we will at least get some backstory how this could ever happen, maybe something sad, his first love/wife died or whatever and depression/sadness turned him into a loner but i really need some kind of explanation for his behavior and lack of friends and/or anyone.

But imo the avn still got way better with the 0.2, Aida is so much better as an LI compared to Mila at this point, everything feels natural and normal with her while this obsession with mila makes me kinda sad for the guy.

But i consider anyone who subs huge amounts of money to camgirls or even stuff like twitch streamers as kinda total idiot so that probably doesnt help a lot

The backstory is that he's been mostly dedicating himself to his professional career and that he's had no time to meet anyone, while the camgirl site is a few clicks away. Also, it's stated multiple times that he did have relationships before so your premise about the character is not true.

Is the " " patch required anymore with this release?

See i don't see any 'obsessing'. There are plenty of genuine simps on camsites and god are they creepy, but they're exactly the people a camgirl wouldn't feel safe talking to.

Camgirls chatroom can actually weirdly turn into 'communities' of sorts, where people just come back regularly to chill out (and yes jack off). But generally it only really works with the lower level girls because there's more downtime and less spam. I get that it may sound a bit weird, but if you've got the money there's something that scratches that itch about paying someone to 'perform' for you. Though often people will prefer to do this in private chats.

fun story: I actually ended up modding for this american camgirl like 10 years ago (haven't done camsites in years as it's a money sink). But you need to remember that it's mostly an act... a job. She actually banned me for my 'negative energy' because i wouldn't simp for her. She took a week off to have plastic surgery on her vagina (moron, but w/e) and then had the audacity to complain that she was behind on her university course. I pointed out that she was an adult and made an entirely optional choice with consequences, whilst the simps were all there offering fake sympathy as if she was going to suck them off IRL or something if they just bullshitted enough.

Most of camming is just acting as a therapy/ emotional support pair of tits for lonely dudes or dudes seeking connection. Which is seems like the MC was. Obviously he thinks she's smoking hot or the connection never would have formed, but it's perfectly possible that over a few months of chatting they'd form a 'connection' of sorts. There's also nothing outrageous about him not just trying to fuck her first chance he gets, because that's the normal, adult response to someone that is doing their job. His actions actually strike me as perfectly mature rather than simping.

Sure and it's not any weirder than any other kink although it does nothing for me personally.

When I said obsessed though what I meant is the MC hasn't slept with anyone for years, he's instead been alone, obsessing over her. To obsess is to overthink, and he's unable to think of much else so he's obsessing. I was being silly when I added the word stalker in there, he's definitely obsessed, but not a stalker, that was a joke.

It is pretty obvious that he's lonely and she's the only one who he's managed to form an attachment to so naturally he goes there, but that whole vibe of simping after someone who barely knows you exist isn't sexy for me, it's a bit depressing, I've had my fair share of unrequited affection. Sure it's now heading towards a relationship that much is obvious, just isn't one that does much for me really and the setup feels pretty sad.

Yeah I know. I'm all up for a power dynamic, especially shifting power dynamics as that makes for a great story. But the whole one sided relationship bit just doesn't really do it for me, I'm not really turned on by it although it was interesting and I did play through part one, but I've gotten bored in this update as I'm in need of something a bit more.

Yeah i know but thats stupid and not a real backstory.

To be fair it is highly subjective what a real backstory is or when a backstory is (not) stupid. Lots of games here have the backstory of an unpopular dude who suddenly can form a Harem because a bunch of very pretty girls like him for some reason. And people are fine with that.

 

[KhunAguero]

Finally got to play the update, and i gotta say i like it. Hated the therapist with a passion for no reason, just a me thing. Aida such a cutie...Mila can stay in the background for all i care with all this flip flopping she's doing. I get her worries, but like...her friendship with the MC from the start has been transactional in a way. Without him paying to watch her, they'd never have met in the first place. He kept paying, which made it possible for them to talk privately. I know that a romantic step is harder than being friends, but like....just take the fucking plunge. Also, reading all the comments...I wonder if some people read the warning at the start of the game. Literally said that it's a story about the dynamics of parasocial relationships. Even the MC himself at one point acknowledges that he might be simping.

 

[GodofLies]

Fuck, Atemsiel really knows how to make them, huh?. Though it makes Stormside's limbo state hurt even more, I enjoyed the hell out of this and look forward to future updates.

 

[Shawnshwnn]

any android ports?

 

[SafeForSure]

You dont even need to read reviews. If you would have managed to read 5 lines of text in OP, you would have known that the Main LI is a camgirl. I know, hard task. But it is possible, I believe in you!

Cam girls are not all whores smart ass and mc who likes a cam girl doesn't have to be a simp.

Look, I already proved that you dont really think. No need for me to play you even more.
