VN Ren'Py Succession [Demo] [Covert Ape]

[goulet1995]

It would not be a waste of time. Sure, it wouldn't satisfy the Pure Harem faction, but who cares? I for one would love an ending in a throuple with Suki and her secret lover, one of the hot maids. (I'm just making shit up because we don't know any of the side characters yet, but you get the point.) Not to forget Kitty, and maybe we can add another sister and/or houseguest and/or servant to the FWB list. Whatever makes some semblance of sense within AVN porn logic and wouldn't be too difficult to add to the endings.

thats why i said if the goal is to get the harem crowd its a waste. I know there are many others like myself that dont play a game unless there is a full harem ending planned. Specifically for me The main reason i only play harem games is so i dont need to keep multiple saves more than the group sex element i actually often avoid group scenes because it often brings in girl on girl which i dislike.

Really not digging the forced non-mon stripper LI that's apparently dominated the MC's love life for years. Nice model and all that but offputting character that makes the MC a worse character for being into her. It'd be nice to be able to avoid any kind of relationship with her from the start or just be friends or whatever if she needs to be important to the story.

Little tip, if you're going to add NTR/Sharing/Nonmonogamy/StripperLI-cuckshit you better go all in on that one because it makes the game radioactive to anyone that isn't into that. The people who don't like it absolutely despise it and the people who are into it won't be satisfied being thrown scraps once in a while.

Yet another game that decided that they don't need to show anything when they can just tell you about it. This is your initial release. The code work isn't going to get any easier. None of your renders or animations are going to be nearly as complex as they will be in even an update or two. This is your opportunity to sell us on the premise, story and characters and give us incentive to support you. This isn't the most egregious example of a low effort launch I've seen, but its not good.

Your initial launch needs to be your largest and you should probably allot yourself enough time to get well into development for the next two updates. That way you're catching peoples attention and then keeping your game on their minds. I'll have forgotten this exists by tomorrow. Is that what you were going for?

Hey, the character models look good... Though that's not surprising in a post 30 series era. You have to make yourself stand out at launch. There are dozens of people who have each released 2-3 games at roughly this quality level on the same fucking day with roughly as much content. I have slightly more faith that your game will make it an extra 2-3 updates, but I still have zero faith your game will be completed because I'm not seeing people that are serious about wanting to do this.

Thanks for your feedback, and it really is each to their own. We chose to release at an early dev stage for early feedback instead of spending MORE time on something that might not even resonate, and we're not comparing ourselves to others as we are just making this because we want to - not to try and pinpoint how to land as the best or most popular or most profitable. We're making this game to fruition with experienced game devs, but in our own time as this is expensive to make (assets and time wise) - and most of our team still need to hold fulltime game developer jobs before putting their income into just this avenue - if they ever will be able to - again, not necessarily our end goal, but wouldn't it be nice if they could?

So far, the general feedback has been very positive and we're determined to stick around. We have the assets and capital to finish the game, and one of us already quit our jobs to do this fulltime to do this; we've got our Patreon to expediate releasing Season 1 on steam and to create a fun community where we can actively engage and seek feedback, but our finishing the game doesn't rely on it.

You don't have to follow along if you don't want to, but hopefully there's something that'll catch your eye in the future

The Patreon tiers make no sense.
For $8 a month, the second tier doesn't even give you access to the next game updates. You'll be stuck with the initial release and some bullshit renders.
From there, the 3rd tier goes up to $25 a month if you want to get the game updates. I prefer not to mention the prices of all the following tiers.
I can't understand how anyone could believe it would be a good idea to choose those prices for a deloping adult game, let alone an unknown dev with a new game that has barely any content.

We are exploring harem ending options, if people were to seek combinations of LIs out as part of their gameplay Watch this space. But it isn't inherently a 'harem game' as a genre.

To make it simpler and uncomplicated.
1. Harem = ALL LIs

(Personally I would love an ending with all of them, plus the MC is going to be a Duke, the question would be why not have a Harem? Since he has money, a huge property and the most important thing is fiction, a way to get away from reality and immerse yourself in a different world and represent something different from what it is like to live in reality)

2. Combination of girls be it 2, 3 or 4 is a harem according to the tag system of F95, but for connoisseurs or more experienced players that is a semi-harem, so if you do it like that, you can use the Harem tag, but I recommend that in the Genre: section you put it as semi-harem and in the Developer Notes you clarify it, this way it can be avoided. (Personally, the semi-harem or multiple endings is the option that I like the least, several people, including me, leave aside or avoid good games or games with potential for that reason)

3. I recommend, why not do all the options? That is, manage the game as a Harem where one route or one Li is not excluded, for another (unless the player wants it) and at the end give the options of:
- LI only
- Threesome or Trio
- semi-harem (combination of LIs 3 or 4)
- Harem (highly recommended, lol)

Without further ado, greetings and good luck DEV CovertApe

While knowing what you like and avoiding other stuff is to be recommended, "ALL LIs" (in all caps no less) is for "more experienced" players? What kind of experience do you need to have the "I want it all and I want it now" preference? Different people like different things.

And while I am not opposed to an all encompassing harem, it will always depend on the story whether it makes sense or is just an overpowered self insert fantasy of a teenage boy.

The MC You will have wealth, power and more, in a fantasy world if you have resources and more, why not have a complete Harem?
