VN Ren'Py The Adored Marriage [Ch.1 v0.5] [Simbaclaw]

[Enlight432]

Thanks for the warning! I’ll fix them for sure. Keep in touch for the coming update. I’ll be waiting for your criticism. Because sometimes I miss something (even if I control each part of the game hundreds of times…) and the players like you notice every little details so I can fix.

Hi buddy!
I played update 0.5, and I must say it was really good. The two issues I mentioned in my review - facial expressions/physiologies and sexual scenes - have been addressed and improved, so I'll be increasing my rating to 5 stars
In the previous update, there were instances where characters would open their mouths excessively while laughing or talking - to the point where I wondered if a real person could actually do that. There were other similar issues as well. However, this problem was completely absent in this update

Spoiler: Examples of beautiful facial expressions/physiologies in this update:

And the sexual scene between MC and FMC in this update, unlike the previous one, was very good and hot. It could have been a bit longer, but I enjoyed it
Overall it was an excellent update and personally made me very fond of the FMC. Great job, developer!

A few other points:

It's a good decision that if MC doesn't have sex with FMC, it's not used as a reason for cheating
Some games start by saying MC and FMC have been happily in love for years, then one night MC decides not to have sex with FMC, repeats this two or three times, and because of that, FMC cheats - that's porn logic
I'm happy with this decision, but you could have used the lack of sex as a parameter to increase FMC's lust and change outcomes in sharing and swing relationships.
In general, meaningful choices are always more attractive than meaningless/ineffective ones. When I looked at this game's script, 70% of choices had no impact. Imagine if each choice had meaning and parameters - that would make the choices more exciting and valuable

Jenn's storyline
What I'm about to say isn't negative criticism since I don't know your future plans, but it's just speculation
Variety increases the game's appeal. If all relationships in this game are swing-based, this lack of variety might eventually become boring. When Jenn suggested a double date and consequently the possibility of swinging, I personally wasn't too keen on it. I'd prefer to have non-swing relationships in this game too. For example, MC and Jenn could have a cheating relationship without FMC or Jenn's boyfriend knowing - this could be an intense storyline. Or Jenn could be completely outside of swinging, meaning FMC knows and has given you permission to have sex with her, etc
I'm not specifically referring to Jenn; I'm talking about variety - having everything: swing, sharing, cheating, etc

And thankfully, not all bulls in this game are black. Thank you for that

This game has great potential since it hasn't made any major mistakes so far. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next update

----------------------------------
Update:
I forgot one thing
At the end of the previous update, FMC suddenly went out of character
Although I have no problem with female domination in NTS relationships and it can be very hot, but this out-of-character behavior at the end of the previous update was without concept and illogical
It seems you realized this before anyone else and fixed it in update 0.5, as I saw when FMC woke up in the morning, she herself was surprised by her behavior from the night before
Nice Job, I couldn't find any weaknesses in this update

He's said before there will be both NTR and NTS routes. I'll pass on the NTR, I don't like cheating but I do like netorase - sharing, swinging, hotwife, etc.

Harem AND NTR in a Female-protagonist game??

I don't think I've ever played a game where the MMC and the FMC had their own harems. Could be interesting.

I don't want to be a spoilsport, but it will be almost two weeks since they received the bronze, so it will even be made public, just to know?

As I previously explained, my plan is to release the Patreon update (0.7) here when I publish the newest update (0.9) on Patreon. But if you agree, I can release a certain part of the update (0.7) as a **public version** until the new update arrives. Because, as far as I can see, some game developers progress this way as well. Please share your thoughts on this topic so that I can make a plan accordingly.

Just because this bit confused me slightly in the past as well, is there a 0.6 update too, or do you progress in odd numbers only? I'm not sure whether it's a "two in arrears" situation or something else, as we're currently on 0.5 here and no mention of 0.8 either.

Numbers aside, I like the process, and just wish people would respect it (I have the same with another of the games I follow and it's mostly respected, but the last release was leaked by a Patron instead of posted in the correct time by the dev). I say just release as per your regular schedule, unless there's a specific reason "part of 0.7" would/could be released earlier - after all, any new update to play is a good thing!

Please don’t focus too much on the numbers. My goal is simply to divide each chapter into 4-5 parts. Because of this, sometimes the number may increase by two, sometimes by one, and sometimes by three.

Well if you say it that way, I think it's ok, to tell you the truth, I didn't see that someone public the game, rather there were previous interactions about the game, its plot and gameplay, I mean, the fans when they see that the developer makes an exquisite game do not hesitate to want to support their favorite developer, it's believable, but sometimes they don't have how, they only have to support with words of support or other, but I think that's not enough, to tell the truth, I work but I don't receive anything, I would like to support, but unfortunately I can't, let's hope to get out of the situation we are in. thank you

I am surprised that it has NOT been leaked in 2 weeks. That is longer than most games. I guess the pirates' are sleeping.

I thank them for not doing that. I’m very happy that they listened to my request and did not offend me. This was very important for me not to lose my motivation. I'm also working hard not to keep you waiting too long.
