VN Ren'Py Summer Heat [v0.6.1] [Naughty Fox Games]

[Arbys_Ra]

Like the game on page 1 if you haven't yet. This game should be amongst the top.

After that last update? I don't think so buddy

 

[minimeatball]

I agree with you on several things Sukuna.
The rules prohibit naming other VNs, but the Devs could have put a warning at the beginning of the game (preferably with an angry Kate in a swimsuit) "this game moves slowly because it prioritizes the development of relationships and sees it as illogical for MC to have sexual interactions with the protagonists so quickly", with that said, you dedicate 100% of the development to the 6 protagonists (I don't forget Mike) and you use the dating app that many people like a lot to show tits and pussies since version 0.1, by dedicating all the time to the protagonists making time advance faster, after 2 years of the game we would surely be days ahead and perhaps on a date with Sophie, (we should only change the reason why Kate wants to throw you out, let's assume that she suspects that MC is a Wendigo and that's why she wants to get rid of him in 3 days), also as the first week passes, the MC receives messages on the dating app to meet side girls in person, with the stories of the protagonists already better developed, you take the MC out of the camp and take him to a bar to meet Becca, and that's it, everyone is happy.

i echoed the same sentiments in my post when 0.5 came out. the devs have sort of backed themselves into a corner though. i don't see these issues boding well for the future of the game. personally, i think the devs introduced this three day time limit as an out in case they wanted to end the game early. i don't see why else it would be done. if it's a serious plot device to create tension and enable development with ms hill, it's rather poor. the trajectory was fine to begin with. this time limit only complicates things with the story and progression of the girls. so my gut feeling is that it'll mostly be ignored by the mc and the characters, and when it's close to the deadline, the devs can gauge whether they branch off to a more mafia-focused plot (or i guess whatever horror they have planned), quietly resolve it and let the mc stay the full time, or end the game. with the rather quick pace things have been progressing, and just how long it takes to get through one day, i think we'll almost assuredly have sex with all the main girls in three days anyway.

pretty decent update. lots of good development with most of the girls, i especially liked the random tension/resentment that got introduced between bree and sophie. that should be fun to explore later on. good scenes with the main girls, some nice intimate moments. eve and mia definitely proved themselves this update as well. so it was all good

but i'm gonna echo the main disappointment. this update took almost one full year to release. that is ridiculous and i wish it wasn't a sustainable method. 11 months for THIS? dude, i don't think so. and what's more is that the devs are doing something i absolutely hate which is wasting an inordinate amount of time on side girls so that the horny dudes get a scene or two to satiate themselves. trust me, i also hate when devs don't think of these games as needing sex, but if they want things to be slower and have build up, then they need to stick to their guns and just push through the early content. it just cheapens the game (imo) when there's a random side girl every update that you can fuck so you can say there's a couple sex scenes in the update (though, if cassandra and ms. hill ever get action together, all is forgiven). otherwise, look what happens. the whole strip club stuff is obviously a tie-in to that little plot twist at the end, so we can say it was a necessary inclusion. but there was so much unnecessary filler. everything with jenni, the lapdance, and the cop + jenni is just such a giant waste of time. we can call it worldbuilding and that's fine, it's nice to have some time away from the house and main LIs, and the bartender livia is hot and all, but is it really worth spending so much time and effort on all of that extraneous stuff when more time can be spent developing relationships with the main girls, or the main story? like, i don't know, moving to the next day?? we're still on the first day by the way. just think about how much time they must've spent with the strip club: writing all of the scripts, creating new side characters, rendering every image, and coding all of it. it's just a waste. if you really want to have side content then just leave the ember stuff and that's fine! ember is a good inclusion, it's just distilled side content and a fun time waster during free roam. leave the meat and potatoes to the main LIs. anyway, rant over. i just hope the devs figure out a better schedule. they do great work but someone needs to be their project manager or something so updates can have a more agreeable timeframe lol

also bree and sophie throuple or riot

I love the direction of Ms. Hill aka Kate, in a strange way she's actually the one seducing our MC.

She has huge boobs; she doesn't need to do anything to seduce a 19 y.o. guy.

None of that sounds good. For the player or the devs. What tension would they try introducing in such a short time frame anyway? It's already 0.6 and assuming a 1.0 is the end goal that's only 4 version numbers away and there has been no significant progression on any front with maybe the exception of Mia but even that was just thrown in out of nowhere. If they do plan on wrapping it up in thee days then I don't see the progression or conclusion being anything but a huge let down. They are shooting themselves in the foot if that's their plan. Not to mention the tone of the game would have to make a 180 to facilitate that. Last I checked you were supposed to build up to the crescendo not start in the middle.

Plot and Pacing: The story is fun, but the pacing can be a bit off. Things often happen in just a few hours, even though players experience a longer span of time. Slowing things down a bit (or making time go faster in-game) could make the story feel more immersive.

Strip club Scene Critique: The second club scene feels a bit forced, with the protagonist suddenly getting a lot of attention out of nowhere. It’s a hot scene, but it could’ve used a bit more effort to make it feel more believable.

Pacing a bit off? The only way the MC can do all the things he does in the first day, is that he lives in an alternative world where hours are 120 minutes long and days last 57 hours or so.

Scene of the strip club a bit forced? It doesn´t make any sense at all. First, I don't know why Miller wants MC in the strip club. If I were going to go to a strip club to make some shady business, the last thing I would do is drag with me an underaged guy. I don't know why Jenny and the female cop behave with the MC the way they do, and why the MC goes along with them, since it's clear they are getting him into trouble. And the MC gets wasted, but magically he sobers up and fools around with half of the girls of the house, one after another, that for some reason are awake in the middle of the night and awaiting their turn with MC?

Pacing is terrible and all the things that happen during the first night are extremely forced.

If I'm being honest, it wasn't 0.6 being NSC that bothered me, it's just that we're left with more questions and still no answers from 0.5. The only actual story content just adds another loose thread, and Miller isn't even present after all the mystery and setup in 0.5. Feels like the tension got built up for nothing.

I want to ask you something. Is almost a year of waiting really such a big sacrifice? Or I go crazy

Do you honestly think the provided content was worth the wait? It was a longer development time than 0.5 but a fraction of the size. People have a reason to be disappointed about a blink and miss it update.

1.0 is definitely not the main goal. version numbering in wegs is pretty arbitrary nowadays. once they reach 0.9, they'll go to 0.10 instead of 1.0. however, because of the huge disconnect between number of updates and actual progress through the story i think the path they're on, without change, will only lead to a huge let down. unless they want to work on this game for the next 20 years.

I was just asking to make sure.

I personally think things are very rocky with this project right now. Version numbers aside though, even it it is just three days it would still be around 6 years of development time at the current pace. Putting those two together already has me losing interest. I personally won't wait around to see where this ends up if something doesn't change. It's just too long with too little happening.

happy for the developers, their patreon has grown noticeably, 2.850 subscribers.

I also don't understand the thought process for the three days. He broke the rules and she has no choice correct? Why then is she even waiting three days to send him packing in the first place? Let alone rewarding him with full credits before he leaves. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

 

[Supergamer11]

My biggest takeaway from 0.6 is just “where does the story go from here”? The ending was rather abrupt and I’m wondering do they go for a shorter update that comes sooner than later that gives us another chunk of the afternoon/evening and maybe some Miller story? Another awkward convo with Ms. Hill? Maybe some expansion on the cryptic text and the money? Probably little lewd scenes if any?

Maybe she thinks she has to organize his return trip and she can't do that sooner? As for awarding him full credits, I think it's just an attempt to sweep a potential scandal under the rug. After all, the MC has full opportunity to leave some pretty bad feedback because of how rocky the trip's been and because of Miller's behaviour, and Kate has enough problems already.

 

[Outlier69]

If it's anything like what has been happening since the start of the game it will either be Kate asking the MC to go check on Miller and him agreeing or Miller coming back and having the MC run off with him again. Both outcomes suck by the way, but it wouldn't be surprising in the least.

Would the first option be possible considering our MC can't drive/doesn't have a car?

 

[Skeltom]

Would the first option be possible considering our MC can't drive/doesn't have a car?

It was more of a general set of situations but I don't see why not. I don't think it's ever stated that he doesn't have a license or anything and if she asks him to go she could just let him use her car. It would be stupid, sending him back to where he's not supposed to be in the first place but you never know with this one.

No daily trains maybe? enough time to pack up and say goodbye without making a scene?

 

[Skeltom]

It could be any number of reasons I guess but it's just like a lot of scenes. It happens and there is no explanation as to why. There will be a scene anyway when his friends find out and he probably wont be saying goodbye because like everything else to do with the instructors he will do what they tell him to. This time being not talking about it to anyone, because she said so.

Also he has now a lot of cash from the female cop and apparently, his mom needs money. And he has received a death threat in his phone. I don't know why he would like to stay there. Just because of the girls? Apparently he doesn't have any problem in getting girls, since can have some kind of sex with like three different women in just one day, and two or three more fall for him, and also he's going to see Mia again in a few weeks. It would make more sense for him to take the cash, and disappear right now.

Truth is, if you analyze the plot of this game a bit, it has no sense.
