VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Sunshine Love [Ch. 3 v1.01i Extras] [MrDots Games]

Pretty women and girls, even what looks like some options in this one, compared to the previous 2 Mr Dots games.
It all looks and sounds great right, so why only 2 stars you wonder?
Well the writing is just obnoxiously bad and dialog is just convoluted, drawn out drivel. I can not describe it any other way! God, I hated it.
The way these characters speak to each other is just the most wooden and disjointed, drawn out and just utterly boring shite you can imagine. How to make a taco, what steps to take when organizing an event. And it draws it out to unnecessary lengths. It makes it something of a mini-game that gives you points with the girls, like a reputation grind in an MMO. Except the mobs in this game are slogs of text needed to be murdered in the correct order or no points for you, literally! It is a boring slog to click through, but while you look to the same 1-3 renders of whomever you are 'talking' with you now need to look around for donuts that unlock extra renders. Yeah, it just isn't worth it. Even with graphics this good I will not torture myself with that horrible writing for a few extra screens. At least this has a text-rollback function you can exploit and I recommend you do and just skip everything else.

Did I mention the music? Since most 'sexy' games are silent affairs, you would think I'd be nice to have some sound and music for a change right? Well, not if it is as lazily done as in this. There is just some royalty-free (?) music playing in the background, and it never adds to a scene, it is just background noise, like a radio set to a random shitty station. I can do that with my own favorite music. Total miss, should not have bothered implementing this.

That leaves the animations. Eh, not bad to be honest. There's a scene with the GF that was a poor loop, but for the rest they all look good. Bit short. Standard for a Mr Dots game. Added some screen controls to 1 scene but thats it for innovation I guess. It is not enough though. Combined with all my other gripes I just think this is not an interesting but a boring 'sexy' game and boring is the complete opposite of what a porn game should be.

I could rename that 1 obvious teenage girl 'Jailbait', so that's a plus!

I'm in love with the visual of that game.

Very good, great scenes, I love incest.

And the shy character (co-owner of the hotal) is so cuteeeeee, I loved her little titties.

Waiting for more content.

Wow was so pleased at the renders. I know The Mr Dots Games are one hot ass games but this one makes me go crazy.

++ Characters looks so firm.
++ Story has been great so far.

Defentily some game which i follow

Cant wait to see what comes next. Five Stars

One thing this game has going for it are the visuals, the renders and animation are top notch and the premise of the story is interesting but that's all the pros I can think of.

There's a lot of girls you can choose from, which is good but they all feel the same. The only interesting one is the cousin with social anxiety, all the other ones don't have any distinguishing features. But all this would have been fine if it weren't for the dialogue. It is so boring, most of the times it feels like they're speaking but they're actually not saying anything (hope it makes sense) and it feels almost robotic. Here are some examples...

"The trick is to make good use of it and hire competent enough chefs to consistently create quality meals for your hotel guests."

"She's going to forward them to me sometime today, which should include her references and resume?

"I'll let her know that working with us immediately may not be a guarantee, and that she might have to look for work elswhere for the time being."

"I'll make sure to store Trisha's number into my tablet, and then I could perhaps give her a call tomorrow some time."

"It's just as well that dog is restricted from moving, otherwise, there'd be no way in hell I'd be doing this."

Who talks like that?! I'd imagine people talked like that 60 years ago and even then it would have been weird.

Finally, Mc has zero chemistry with the "main" girl. She was quite annoying at the beginning but this update she became more likable I would say . Still, their relationship feels so artificial.

All in all, this game looks good on surface but once you look beneath it, all the other things are average at best.

No choices at all. Slow and boring pace. Just like Melody there is no interactivity. The renders are good and the animations as well but other than that it is VERY boring. I will give 3/5 for the renders and animations.

Reminder!This game isnt a harem game.Its a dating game,you can have as many love interest as you want,but you can only choose one.Also,if you have more girls,there will be a risk they will find out and break up with you.Its a pure romance game.There is no pregnancy unless you keep loyal to one girl only,and ignore the rest of the girls.(boring i know)

pro:
-pure romance and vanilla
-have a good story
-good renders
-good gameplay
-multiple choices(choose one only)
-little sex scene

cons:
-The game have many girls,but you can only choose one only.ignore the rest.
-no pregnancy,probably 1.

This game includes some of the best characters and renders I've seen, characters such as Jane, Vicky, Ashley, Trisha, Lily & Ivy are especially well done. It is currently setting up for a great game right now as it is still early days. Hopefully next update we will have some H scenes.

Great Game so far .
+The cousin is the really the best.
-But the story must be better in the future. And the most boobs are for me to big.
+The gallery are really great.
There are currently a few bugs from the previous version that need to be fixed.

It might be a bit early for a proper review but since this dev already has two games under their belt, they should have the know-how by now.

Starting with the good, this game has impressive renders, better looking than dev's previous works. Not only the girls but also the game layout looks crisp and colorful. Unfortunately that's the only positive point at this time.

My main gripe with this game is characterization. This particular dev loves making games about completely pure waifus who will take forever to engage in anything remotely sexual and it seems to have worked for them in the past. But while MC would get no scenes with the main girl, the dev was smart to include other characters who didn't seem to be locked in chastity. The problem with the new game is that most of the characters read like the same pure, vanilla waifu. What's the difference between the main girl (sis) and her best friend (cook)? They both read like nuns who are completely oblivious to anything sexual. And that also hurts the cousin character who's supposed to be yet another shy waifu type but in this game she doesn't stand out at all.

The only characters who at least act somewhat lewd in this adult game are the two MILFs. But even them suffer from the same issue, as they are written to be exact carbon copies of each other. MC gets a choice at some point, having to pick between slightly suggestive MILF #1 and slightly suggestive MILF #2. And the only difference between the two characters is the color choice in lingerie!

MC is, of course, not immune to characterization issues. Seemingly on par with dev's previous player characters, this one seems allergic to any kind of behavior that might look even a tad bit assertive. At most he gets to pout when his sis doesn't heed his advice. And when in a dialogue you are given an obviously good choice, that gives a + and an obviously bad choice that gives nothing, then that's not really a choice isn't it?

To conclude, when you are making a game with an ensemble cast, you have to make a conscious effort to make the characters read different. When the player's interactions with them look copy-pasted, you obviously haven't done that. In this game most interactions boil down to : aggreable dialogue choices followed by a hug and maybe a kiss (oh my!). After a point it gets tiring.

Decent game from Mr Dots. The models are great but the dialogue seems forced and wooden. The choices don't really seem to make much difference whether you pick a "good" one or "bad" one.

It is kind of frustrating the only nudity you see is with "Pervert Mode". I know it's only the second release, but it's a little disappointing. If you're looking for a quick fap this isn't the game. I didn't play the beginning of Mr Dots other games so I don't know how long it was before the h scenes or lewd scenes. Probably won't see any of that until the 4th or 5th release at the current pace of the game. Even by then you probably won't see full on sex with the MC's "sister" or any of the main girls.

I would give the game 5 stars if there was a little bit more skin or some more intimacy between the MC and some of the girls. Maybe in another 6 months I will update the rating, but the current version hasn't earned it yet. It would be nice if the dev focused only on one game at a time instead of dividing between Sunshine Love and DMD. The updates would come out a bit faster, but even then with the amount of work I'm sure it would still be every 2 months.

With 2 games under his belt you would hope the dialogue would be a lot better. Game definitely needs an editor just for the dialogue to make it less forced and believable. It's a shame it's not a "harem" game where the MC can have multiple relationships so the other girls don't get upset or mad at him. Pregnancy with multiple LI's would be really great too.

Nice slowburn with good characters a story and some actual gameplay elements with finding donuts and peeping. It's not just some click for pics shitfest you see in many many other games. Unlike the previous game the main love interest isn't retarded like the daughter in DmD, I mean seriously, if you played Mr. Dots first game, the main female has gotta be at least Forest Gump levels of slow. The only qualm I have atm is the sister has a bit of an underbite and a chin and jaw structure that many a boxer or cage fighter would envy.

Despite the good renders, It's the genre of fancy shmancy stuff you can't really get off to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very few sex scenes, good story, nice set of characters.

Will check it out again when it's finished because I know these types of games by now.

Amazing

This is how you make a VISUAL NOVEL, its got no gameplay to it so the animation and Scenes overall should look great because the only focus of the game is that, and in this game they did that to perfection, it looks AMAZING, just look at the screen shots. There is also some gameplay to it, not much but some, overall super impressive work not gonna lie.

MrDots sucked me into his work thanks to Melody, so I'm excited to see what he creates here in Sunshine Love. The characters, models, and story have definitely upgraded a lot more compared to some other games. Overall, the quality of this game is only in its infancy, but has the makings of another amazing VN game.

So I'm going to try to write a contructive review since it is early in the development process.

First, i like the art, and with these games that's a big chunk of it, and it's better written than most VN/Dating sims.

In short I think it has too many characters, and not enough actual content, and I'll go into more detail.

However, the game has a crucial flaw one that is very common to these types of games. It goes to wide, and not deep enough. What I mean is their are too many characters and the interactions are too shallow. It's very easy to fall into this trap, but it is usually better to focus on a few characters that you can have multiple scenes and a bunch of interactions with.


Some Suggestions
- Your time is limited focus on 1-3 paths/girls and flush them out completely, and then at the end decide if you want to add extra character, or ust add more content
- Have less time between options, the longer we go without making choices the more we are going to just skip through dialogue(not every decision needs to be impactful)
- Don't have long seuences of characters inner thoughts, they come out on their own, and kind of take you out of the moment


I'll check back after the next update good luck with your game

Mr Dots NEVER fails to impress. I've been hooked since my early days of discovering Dating My Daughter, only to be further impressed by Melody. It's early days for this one but it's looking to be yet another great game from this developer. Definitely one of my favourite game makers, if not my no. 1. Can't wait to see how this progresses

Most of the models are great but some of them look... you know what I mean. Gallery+collectibles are nice but I don't like scanning every damn screen in such a text heavy game.

What I don't like is how volatile the relation between the MC and main girl is:

123131 lines of text
- We're good. I love you.
121312 lines of text
- We're bad. I hate you.
123131 lines of text
- We're good again.

Too much text with too little content.

We'll have a dinner. -> Nope, gotta go.
We'll have cam-sex -> Nope, the MC isn't in the mood let's do it another time.

So what content is there?


After 346745 lines of tease and countless cases of blue balls it ends on a
I'm surprised this dev isn't some big ntr producer because the MC was the biggest loser I have seen in a non-ntr game.

I gave 2 stars instead of one because of good production values.

I want my 3 hours back.

I'm incredibly impressed with this game so far. Characters are realistic, each person interacts and talks differently. The story is immersive and detailed, with a decent build up of the back-story behind the events of this visual novel.

really liking the story so far, it's a simple heartwarming story. too bad it's not a real incest though, but i'm still liking it.
i'm really hoping that they didn't add over the top conflict in the story, i think it's good as it is.

the dialogue seems kinda weird sometimes, it definitely needs improvement.

the art is vibrant, absolutely gorgeous.

Nothing But Net! Mr Dots and his team do it again.
Great story, great renders, lots of beautiful ladies and as ever, a well polished presentation. Do yourself a favor, download it an play _ you will not be disappointed.
