VN Ren'Py Summer Scent [v0.6.4a] [The Naughty Captain]

[Droftaw]

i think the problem Turgsh01 and a number of other people are having is based upon the assumption that this game is just like most other VNPorn games out there. It masks the answers in subtle ways and it should get players to trying different options and different paths to understand the characters and their influences. In my humble opinion this game has no comparison to most of the VN's on this site and is more akin to one of the old text based adventures or point and click games. I posted the correct options to obtain the throuple path back on page 85 but i only found that pathway through multiple playthroughs. What i didnt do was tell a dev who is going through their first attempt at a complex game how to write their story. there is criticism and constructive feedback and i didnt think anything you wrote was the latter.

p.s. calling someone mediocre is not a compliment in any language

p.p.s. keep up the good work Naughty Captain

the best games entertain even when you're not playing them.

Keep making the game in your image all i say , there will always be people wanting the game to go a certain direction (me also with certain stuff) however you are making a game where you have a vision and where you want to go, and thats both the beauty and agony as the player will have little-some options within the game what you want to see , so all i can say is kudos do you and hopefully a better day with your pain tomorrow

I find the path to get the throuple more organic as scripted by the dev. MC first goal is to get in a love relationship with Cassie, and Eve then seek to make a last move on MC seeing him lost. If the MC decides to enter also in a relationship with Eve, the throuple is successful, but not without a dose of doubt and remorse.

If the first MC goal is for the incest relationship with Eve, doing all he can to please her, and ALSO wants a relationship with Cassie, it's more logical for Cassie to feel betrayed, so that's the bad end.

Hence the importance of the first decisions. At least it seem more logical to me. Not gonna lie: I got my bad end in my first play too. But again, it seemed logical to me.

The Naughty Captain, keep your good work.

Dev Update #86

Scene 2... is done. I finished posing and rendering it last weekend and I managed to handle the post-processing and the coding.

The post-processing took a lot of time. I have 90 shots for scene 1+2 and processing them took me about as long as processing the whole 1000 + images of v0.5. However, I'm quite happy with the results and the image quality is on a whole other level than previous episodes.

The script file is already almost a thousand lines long. I finally merged scene 1 and 2 into a bigger scene 1 during the coding as it ended being easier to handle that way. I renumerated my scenes in consequence. So don't be surprised if you read below that I'm working on scene 2 again, it's a different one.

The script has been sent to my proofreader.
I've started writing scene 2 (another scene 2!). I think I'm two-third into it. The scene isn't difficult to write and will be even easier to pose, there's not much happening but a lot of different versions to write. The writing should be done by the end of the weekend and I'll pose that scene starting Monday. As I said I don't expect any difficulties and the number of shot I'll have to pose should stay low. Even if there are several versions of the event, most of the shots should be reusable.

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 1 will contain 13 scenes.
• Scenes 1(+2) is written.
• Scene 1(+2) is posed and rendered.
• 7180 words, 990 lines of code, 90 shots are posed, 90 are rendered
• 10 environments have been reworked.
• I'm currently writing scene 2 (but it's another one!).

I have to admit that I also chose Eve in the store and was pretty frustrated with the result. It's a big consequence that can't really be anticipated and thusly avoided. From a gameplay perspective I don't think it's a great way to handle it. However, Cap has made it clear that this is heavily story driven, and in that context the result makes sense.

All in all, this is a fantastic story so far and I'm very much looking forward to where it goes from here.

Ok first thing i just want to say. the story of this game isnt bad at all keep doing what your doing. however i got a tiny issue about some of the outcome you get. SPOILS AHEAD YOUVE BEEN WARN.

= First of my biggest and really my only issue is this. yes i understand the stat for dominate means the main character is going to be dominated i dont have an issue about that. My biggest gripe is the fact that, WHY THE HELL would you put false options? You literally had no option to op out of the upcoming "femdom kink" scene crap unless you reload a previous save from earlier. for example (AGAIN SOME SPOILERS AHEAD) the mc get a footjob, cool nothing really wrong with that. but what happens after that is what really piss me off. the girl than asks or rather force the mc to lick his own jizz of her foot! the developer put an option dialogue to refuse doing so, but do you know what happens if you refuse? the freaking mc does it anyways, hence why it was force. and this happens multiple times thoughout the game. guess what, i have this dildo guess what im going to do with it. How about no since after what you made me do last time im scare to find out. there is even an option to say no. the developers basically say f that, how about f you, literally, regardless if you choose yes or no. so why even bother putting an option if it not a true option smh. look i get some might be into that stuff and more power to you people who do but that just poor writing if you ask me. so yes on my cannon playthough i reload from an earlier save and change my outcome because that some bs right there. im all for foreplay and whatnot but some things is just too much. and i understand the developers are going to try to get somewhere in future updates and try to explain but still. again it not about what happen, it about false option given to the players is where the problems lies, making us believe that maybe we can change an outcome when you really cant.

other than that ill still recommend this game, it really not a bad vn overall.

I agree it was pretty shocking, it's not my canon playthrough but I still played it to get a better insight into Cassie. She basically try to be a dom while having no idea what she's doing. I think after those rather steep hurdles they could have a healthy dom/sub relationship going further. I personally wouldn't put up with this but I can dissociate myself from the MC and appreciate the story.

I can understand your point of view easily, and actually, I'm pretty happy with it.
On that path, Jack is an innocent moron who embarks on the femdom boat mostly because he doesn't understand and is just horny. He sees a possibility, he runs for it.
I wanted the player to be surprised, feel forced and disgusted. That's what Jack is supposed to feel.
The fact that she won't take no for an answer is obviously intended. A Dom will give you some options to get out but once you've accepted, you saying "no" and her "forcing" you are part of the "roleplay", if I may call it like that.
I thought about giving the player the option to get out of that path at that point but I finally ruled it out. Because it would have nullified the impact of the previous choices and because it just didn't fit with the overwhelming willpower Cassie is supposed to show here.

And about the false option itself. It has an impact. Just not the one you wish it had.

I think we can agree that it's not for everyone.

Yeah, we can do that! May I add some games are absolutely not for me?

Edited: Ach, I guess I have to precise that I do like yours! Otherwhise, why would I be there and take the time to post, hmm?

how do I make the text have background color (that transparent text box). It's quite hard to read when the text is on bright object

I don't think it's possible, but I countered it with "Shift+A" and increased font size to maximum which helped me a bit. Just keep in mind that it also affects the stats on top too which isn't too big of a deal but it does get messy once you meet Kelly.

Thanks for the advice, I will try that
Hopefully dev realize that small white font with thin outline is hard to read on bright background

 

[emigrate2230]

Though I disagree with most of his point, that's unfair to say. Quality of life improvements such as text box opacity, text fonts and sizes are always welcome.

i was talking about him in general (his review and his previously complains)
