VN Ren'Py The Adventurous Couple [TACOS S2 P3b] [Mircom3D]

[Canto Forte]

The dev is married, yet we are yet to see any realistic ways he still is married,
like many would presume, there has to be something they did together,
commisioning Ann for free to nobodies and effectively jerking in the corner
beat and resigned, is not any way shape or form of a relationship, but
staying in a hollow complacent hell whgile procrastinating going anywhere.

The couple never did cellebrate their life style, as bed side stories
of what Ann did totally alone and not a thought about tony the whole day
does not scream plot or story or a reasonable worth while experience.

As stated before, anyone loosing their time watching Tony beat and Ann treated like a
lice infested two bit whore
would much better be spent watching a meaningful soap opera with actual emotional
performances, lack luster sex and repeat then tell looser Tony about it got sad and old fast.

Surely the choice to write Tacos with more dialogues and renders follows your discourse of more introspection ... however the story is based on a couple who have been married for 5 years ... and important... they have no children.
I don't know many childless couples who after 5 years of marriage continue to be together if they don't find an alternative way to motivate the continuation of their relationship...
Usually they become animal rights activists and I have neighbors who have about 15 dogs, cats and birds... they dedicate all day to taking care of and collecting animals

what I mean is that many comments fail to put themselves in the shoes of a couple and what it means to have a relationship that after 5 years has produced nothing ... many do not realize the boredom that a relationship of this type may cause

I believe that this story is very believable by following and reading the dialogues between them well and that one of the possible endings could just be that Anne gets pregnant or that it turns out that one or both of them are unable to have children for some health reason
I don't think they are into introspection and reflection...
I believe that when you are 25/27 years old (considering college finished around 22) the couple is trying to stay together and they decide how to do it.... I already described the only event that for me can change the status quo of their relationship---
they can also decide to divorce at the end ... but this would be a bust for both Tony and Anne

This all seems very good. But the question is, will the Dev be able to make all of this work, without making the errors he has made repeatedly throughout the duration of this game? As recently as Chapter 15, he made a complete mess of everything, as you pointed out. It's not inspiring me with a lot of confidence, that he's going to be able to achieve what he claims above. We could end up with another revamp, that's no better than what we currently have. Making a lot of changes to the game, means a lot of potential to screw things up even more, So until I see something different that tells me the Dev has learned from past mistakes, I'm going to take all of the above with a huge pinch of salt.

If he's going to devote a load of time revamping the game, then he has to get it right, so that this isn't another massive waste of time. So far the changes seem to have been fairly cosmetic, and therefore less potential to fuck things up. But after the first few weeks, it appears we're going to get a lot more revamped content, and that's when things could start to go wrong again, if the Dev hasn't learned from the errors he's made in the past.

The Dev claims he wants Anne and Tony to be the couple he originally envisioned them to be. But it was him who made them into the couple they've become and nobody else. If he wanted them to be different, then why didn't he make them that way? That statement makes no sense whatsoever. And when he starts saying stuff like that, I start thinking does this guy really have a clear vision for this game?

All renders are ready
as I said he have just to add about 10% and rework something + endings

and of course during the time he will release the new game Christina

none of us have the witches' glass ball to read into the future...
just wait for the next announcement about the working in progress.

Masterpiece?

it will be in his genre of course!

 

[88stanford88]

Why this ?

I was talking about the Mod if i remember well maybe Sadowdark installed the mod in the CH14 (you can search in some of his previous posts 10/15 o more previous pages)
As you know the MOD can unlock all path so the choices you made in the game maybe let you see unwanted scenes

"Like" (i'm out of reactions) Ahhh ok, I tested the Mod and It is actually quite good marked (about sensible content for the player) so no "danger" from there (talking about the mod in the Spoiler of chapter 15) it gives you certiain security not to run into

you are talking about a different mod CH15
I'm talking about this

WALKTHROUGH/CHEAT MOD -

Lord Ashram Cheat/Mod for CH14

 

[xapican]

Lord Ashram Cheat/Mod for CH14

No, the mod for CH 14 was the one, and I found it quite good actually, but then again, we both share only that we are not in to the Cuck szenario, but we aproach and process that very diffirent, ( I admire the imersion with the MC you have) so yeah, I was more afraid about some techical Issues with save files , than other, and the same mod for Chapter 15 is not at the same level as the one for chapter 14

CH15 is a mistake with or without mod and TAC2 was abandoned... (the mod was made just for try to correct to see martin scene)
TAC1 can be considered as the first part complete

I'm a big fan because I immediately understood that TAC was different from the other games since the first time I found it there ... the second remake had just begun ...
What fascinated me is that the story is very believable.. I too had a similar story with my first girlfriend and it lasted for 7 years... we were in a rock band...radio and so om

I recently discovered thanks to Sadowdark that the TACOS is about a true story ... (of course wth sometimes invented sometimes exaggerated more or less)
you can see the part of the dev answer here

Spoiler: answer fron the dev about the story

this was the confirmation that this game is and will be a masterpiece

Thanks

 

[xapican]

88stanford88 ; Totally agre with CH 15, and yeah, if you can identify with the story of a game it becomes another level
I liked it too, and let's see where the Tacos go .....(normally into the belly of my son, and his friends ) sorry pun intended.
so now get my Spicy sauce, and enjoy TACOS (I just finished the old ver.) Sadowdark good move mate, you answerd me a question ....

I dunno, how many people actually read Playboy unironically for the articles? From what I remember, they had a pretty crack editorial staff (kinda like how Buzzfeed is now, even though most know of them as the stupid quiz website), but it largely wasn't what they were known for outside of those already in the know.

But yeah, mid-30's here, and I do unironically play these games more for the story than anything else. The titillation is fun, but it's fun in the way Game of Thrones was; but the reason folks got hooked on that series was the characters and narrative, the occasional tiddie was just a bonus.

I do think however there is a general lack of maturity among this whole sub-genre, as seen in the premise of many games, their protagonists, and even down to the actions of the developers themselves. Lots of games about cringey twenty-something losers who look and act like dumb pre-teens while they trip into unearned pussy left and right. The barrier to entry is low, the standards are rock bottom (NTR focused games are largely slop in the trough of the NTR fanboy hogs), and the allure of Patreon funding is high. Not exactly the sort of environment that attracts and fosters an abundance of auteur talent.

At one time, Playboy had very credible literary merit. Bradbury, Asimov, Atwood, Kerouac, Alex Haley interview with MLK, Jimmy Carter interview, Vidal, etc. I first looked upon it's pages in the early 70s, but had to do so in a top secret location.

The rest of your comment is well-stated and I agree. Other than a few gems, this place is largely awash in a sea of mediocrity. I guess that's the way it is in most spaces, though.

 

[88stanford88]

we are not in to the Cuck szenario

Cuck/swing scenario can be very funny when you are young in rock-bands group with a lot of girls drugs and alcohol
I will never forget my first girlfriend!

I'm not sure that's the case. Because when Sadowdark asked his tenth question about Anne working in the club owned by Tony's Uncle, the Dev said that was not going to happen until 'far in the future'. Which seems to me, to be a clear indication that Mircom3d doesn't envisage catching up to the events in Chapter 15, during any updates anytime soon. 'Far in the future', seems like years off to me?

 

[Kassan06969]

Will this ever get finished? Any restart is a REALLY bad sign, a second one is an extremely bad sign. I'd never patron a dev that ever did a restart.

 

[kinghardbest2014]

Is there a next of Chapter 15 !? love the scenes with aunt ^^

 

[Kassan06969]

Is there a next of Chapter 15 !? love the scenes with aunt ^^

No, it's a fucking restart from the very beginning. No more of that game.

 

[mizilic]

WTF is this TACOS? The game did not end! Why start it from the beginning now?

 

[EvolutionKills]

WTF is this TACOS? The game did not end! Why start it from the beginning now?

Best and most 'benefit of the doubt' guess? The dev didn't have a strong coherent vision for the path the game's narrative would take, and it got away from them as they continued to create more and more tangents.

So TAC2 (aka Chapter 15) was supposed to have done that, being a hard break from the original reboot (Chapter 1-14), so as to have a 'fresh start' midway through the story, allowing the dev to decide which of the story threads were actually worth developing going forward without having the pressure of being expected to see all of them to conclusion. Seemed like a good excuse to cut out a lot of the random hookup that weren't going anywhere.

But perhaps sensing that it was a half-measure that made nobody happy, we're now staring down the barrel of yet another reboot; this time going all the way back to to rehash the very beginning for the 3rd time. For some reason the dev committed to redoing a whole bunch of the renders to put on a show of doing work, but didn't bother to make any changes to the narrative or improve the dialogue. So the dev has spent a whole hell of a lot of time doing busy work in Blender or Daz3D playing dress-up to re-create renders that didn't need updating, instead of doing any meaningful work towards improving the clusterfuck narrative which it is once again on a collision course with.

So yeah, slow motion train wreck.

 

[Sadowdark]

Is there a next of Chapter 15 !? love the scenes with aunt ^^

Chapter 15- TAC2 = abandoned

 

[88stanford88]

I'm not sure that's the case.

if you want to continue with your witch crystal ball you are free to do so you are still repeat the same concept as if by doing this your forecast on processing times becomes more realistic

Are you in hurry? I can understand your impatience in seeing the result os TACOS but luckily Mircom will no longer make the same mistake of listening to people like you who always want to put their nose in trying to change the story that belongs to him

I can only remind you that all renders are 80% ready and that Tony's Uncle club scenes you are talking about comes also 'far in the future' in the chapter 15 of the old abandoned draft of the story. this means that all scenes with Martin will be in TACOS

the following quote is from the dev

There will be more with Nicole, Kenny and Candace, Erik, Dre and of course Martin. These are mainstay characters who's stories will progress.

I think within 1 year we will get to the point where CH15 stopped! Also i can't wait to get to the scene where Anna accepts the job at Martin's brother's Club...

Maybe you're right Maybe I'm right? we will see... the most important thing is that the game will be BETTER and with more scenes closely focused on the MAINSTAY characters... obviously random guys will also be in the story but they will disappear because they are linked to the website's activities and couple vacations or parties

I'm sure tacos will be the best western story in the NTR genre.

 

[88stanford88]

Is there a next of Chapter 15 !? love the scenes with aunt ^^

will continue when Tacos remake will reach the chapter 15 point
for now TACOS is planned to have 10 chapter... but there will be more content focused on the MAINSTAY CHARACTERS
Nicole, Kenny and Candace, Erik, Dre and of course Martin
