VN Ren'Py Surviving My Family [Chapter 1] [Carmine Note Games]

[HiHaHo]

hey just tried the game.

looks like a decent start ill check out the next update in hopes it stays consistent.

having the stance to make your game the way you want is the way to go IMO
take any opinion on how to write your game with a grain off salt and let the consumer decide if its good or not

ps: don't let the "Game developer" or "dev/head writer for mediocre abandoned game" tags add more weight then it should.

Opinions can be ignored, whether they be good or bad. Criticisms are posted to help the dev make the best game they can! The problem I see is trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. That separation process can let opinions get under your skin. This is why I commend the dev for responding to posts that I would personally classify as opinions. Just reading the aforementioned posts made me irritated. A LOT of them came off as whiny or overbearing.

Moving on! Opinions incoming! I like where it seems the game is going. I like the models/renders. I'm looking forward to playing more! I think providing special renders is a GREAT way to let your community know you are still active and working!

*Criticism* I think some of the personalities are great and provide flavor but will probably overshadow others, while some seem pretty mild and may get lost in the background. Hopefully, they don't. A way to prevent that from happening is to have them provide info to MC that can be useful so there's interactions and the MC has to mull over possible choices. I don't think the MC can stay as mild mannered as he is. He has to corral some pretty strong personalities to go in the direction he wants. If there's a disagreement, then he has to be strong enough to be the "glue" to keep everyone together. Just a thought though, and hopefully presented in a way that isn't irritating.

I only bring this up because I'm greedy and want all of them! Selfish reasons I know, but considering it's a harem game....warranted I think.

Keep up the great work!

There's no point in putting choices that lead to game overs in a visual novel because they're not real choices. You are just making more work for yourself while still forcing the player to reload and make a different choice anyway. This is especially true if you aren't even going to lean into the consequences.

By far, the AVN which best implements game overs is Projekt: Passion, which has a lot of comedic death scenes for the MC which serve as quick game overs. The reason that works is because they're just optional jokes (and because the writing is top notch), and they serve an actual purpose (comedy), rather than just forcing you to reload.

The twins wanted to say Happy Easter!

I appreciate the patience, y'all. I wish I could crank these out faster, but for now it is a passion project that I can only give my spare time to. Don't forget to join the

Carmine Note Games I'm glad to see this is still in development.

Take your time, brother. Very cool that you post these wallpapers for us. I would MUCH rather see it consistently updated even with spaced out updates over it being abandoned because you tried to crank out updates when you said you don't have time for it. Stops being a passion project at that point. Let's let it stay a passion project. <3

I think I need to play through this one again. I vaguely remember it, but I do recall it was fun.

Looking forward to the update, haremcest VNs ftw. Hopefully we get some stuff with the hot huge booba older sister

Just letting y'all know the game is still being developed. Here is the most recent progress update for anyone who can't or doesn't want to leave this site.

For July's monthly renders I was continuing some of my previous themes/mini stories.
Figured it was a good opportunity to re-render the first three monthly renders I had made. Showing off the changes to the final art style (FOV, lighting/shadows, other post-process settings) and minor tweaks to the models (mainly made their faces more western/realistic and figured out the height system in HS2). More examples and info can always be found over on

(Left is the original; Right is the final changes.)
"New high score!" was made for the Cute & Cuddly tier.


"Turns out the princess is in this castle..." was made for the Sexy & Seductive tier.


"Rub-a-dub-dub..." (Didn't actually have a title; thought this was funny... *crickets*) was made for the Lewd & Nude tier.


Anyways, I thought you'd like to know. Enjoy!
Thanks for the support!
Happy Gaming!

Trick or Treat!

Hello Notes,
Here's a little extra something for my favorite holiday.
All monthly renders are out now except the lewd-nude-renders. I'm sorry for the delay on those I've been really busy with multiple things but I will have them for you very soon though. I am also still working on scene 9. I have a few animations that I'm putting together which takes a bit longer. Just realized I've never dropped in game teasers here before so here's a few (more can be found on
