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

[88stanford88]

I liked the new options where you can not choose to do something or let Anne do someone, like the Dre at the gym, I just hope you get the same option when it comes to the MCs dad, that you can stop Anne and she won't go behind his back and fuck the MCs dad.

The pizza thing was both good and bad, that you got the choice there who delivered the pizza, just a shame nothing happens if you choose the girl, not sure if anything will happen in the future with the pizza girl if you chose her.

the same as in Tac you can stop her to fucj Dre and you can avoid Martin!
the plot is basically identical to the old release... unfortunatel they added the Mod in CH14 that allow you to see all the scenes by confusing the sense if the path you want follow

Nice to see discussions about the, um, discussion.

I do think it was a bit hypocritical (and slightly trollish by the developer) that Anne was the one that brought it up.

This scene is also a bit too late in my opinion. It should have happened around the spa scene when it was still relatively early in their relationship. Always felt weird that Anne got upset when she was not allowed to continue and in the following dialogue maintained that she was just teasing those men and nothing more. That would have been the time to being up ground rules. Also if she was allowed it escalated to sex. For me it just shows her true nature. If she was true to her word the scene should have stopped at heavy petting and moved on to the couple having hot sex. Of course being a game, there can be additional options for continuing with the spa men as in the game now or Anne getting upset and sneaking off to cheat.

I do appreciate the ground rules scene is now in the game and the player can now decide if Anne moves further with other characters. The choice is bit too binary on/off for my taste but I rather have it than having things get too complicated with too many variables to track.

I hope this discussion scene is a sincere attempt at making the game about the couple adventuring together again.

PS: I do have ignored users in this thread so will not be seeing some responses.

Anne's problem is that she always says one thing and then ends up doing another, like at the spa or at tac, who said she loved and respected the MC and when he walks away, she had no problem deceiving him, so that Anne can follow the rules until the end. I see it as complicated, I can't even imagine that scenario if it could be possible, especially when Martín appears and she starts working with him and then the rules are going to go to shit.

I agree with your assessment about Anne. I definitely still have reservations about her actions going forward but that is why I sincerely hope the things in this update are an honest attempt to steer the ship right.

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

I still find it ridiculous that someone defends the game by considering it a masterpiece, an example, the scene in the sauna, at the moment that Anna asks you if everything is okay, you can answer yes or cancel everything, but as it happens Anna gets pissed off, in the scene after finding herself in bed Anna asks why, adding that she wouldn't have fucked with them anyway, now the contradiction, if MC agrees to continue at Anna's request, what happens, Anna fucks one of the two, and when MC goes to the bathroom and then come back, our dear goody-goody, also gets fucked by the boy she met in the swimming pool, now, if in the first case we say that Mc was present and gave his consent to fuck with one of the gentlemen, in the second case it was entirely Anna's choice , nice coherence, you stop her and she promises you that she wouldn't have sex, you don't stop her and she gets fucked by two people one after another.
Need I say anything else?

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

a question I always ask myself, if the game was a masterpiece, why was it rewritten?

 

[TomUK]

HAHA, so you stopped playing because Anne behaves like 95% of all women?

No, I stopped playing because I was fed up with the dev lying to us, he gives us the option to not allow certain scenarios, then says, "FUCK YOU!" to the player if we don't make the choice he wants.

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

From your writing I assume you like to get blue balled, lol.

Not knowing what to answer, you make yourself so ridiculous

 

[Dessolos]

lmfao Martin boy over here really gave us a post about all the bookmarks he has saved. What was the best part for someone that uses story to back up his claims. He claimed the beach hut was avoidable and isnt cheating when both are 100% false. I guess he really lives in a parallel world where if someone lies to your face when asked a question when it involves sex with a stranger isnt cheating. That was a good enough laugh for me I stopped reading.

 

[Leongen43]

I agree with your assessment about Anne. I definite still have reservations about her actions going forward but that is why I sincerely hope the things in this update are an honest attempt to steer the ship right.

That is why it is always advisable to have at least two routes, one where you do everything possible to make the relationship work with Anne or which also means being careful not to kill anyone by the edge of the MC's horns and another where both of you do what you want and that you don't give a damn what she does and at the end of the story you go to a good jewelry store and buy a beautiful engagement ring for Kelsie to be happy with her that Anne leaves with Martin on the plane and where they crash into a frozen mountain where Anne practices cannibalism with Martin, what would that ending look like dancing and devouring Martin at the same time?

All good points except you spelled Nicole wrong. Again.

 

[Leongen43]

OK, good for you but if Nicole later turns into an Anne 2.0 I hope I don't see you in a bar drunk and crying your sorrows saying "how could you I thought you were the one" where I sent you a post about her being with Ryan and He says I can't betray my friendship with Anne, I hope you understand, are you ready for that moment?

 

[Dessolos]

idk why but I see Nicole being a worst version of Anne

I agree she is sluttier than Anne but I feel she is more open about that fact and not as hypocritical as Anne.

 

[Leongen43]

OK, but just in case I should get life insurance just in case Nicole disappoints you and isn't a total loss for you, they say the third time's the charm but which one is the MC?

 

[88stanford88]

I'm not sure you know how this works.....

this? what?

When you do a comeback it's supposed to make me feel bad for myself for being put in my place not make me feel sorry for you for such a shit retort.

So you care about judging other people's opinions instead of talking about how the story is written and remain on topic?
I think this talk of yours is OffTopic
So do my answers make you feel sorry and makes you feel sorry for me?
And why do you think I care how you feel by reading my posts?
you are right--I do care what you think about me but maybe we should talk privately over coffee?
thank you for alerting me to how my posts impact you.... (even is OT I really appreciate that)
but your posts are no joke either? I always find them very interesting
when I respond I don't do it to put you in your place...in fact I admire your posts...and you can take any place you want.. I love and i respect freedom in girls..provably if I were sitting in crowded bus I would be happy to give you my place. I guarantee you that you misunderstood...I just wanted to be funny because I love lesbians and I have many friends who are both bisexual which is what I prefer but also lesbians... and to try to be 100% honest with you I also have gay (LGBT) friends I have been a record producer for many years and have been part of many bands) although I often don't feel completely comfortable with them

The point you missed is when some of us started playing a game called Adventurous Couple, we expected a game about an adventurous couple. He starts them on a hotwifing journey that quickly devolves into 2 solo journeys into their own sexual relationships.

I think your are missing a point too
why you use <"we expected a game about an adventurous couple."> for me they both are experimenting an adventurous new lifestyle for a couple married more than 5 years ago this decision is for sure adventurous!
how many of you are there... are you talking about the "tac-trolls"?
Mircom3D is the author and he decided the title and plot.

So you not only want to judge how I have to write like a professress who knows everything and she is the one who has to teach me how to live but, now you want to judge the author's way of writing? Really?
Sorry if i repeat myself but this is important:
I don't want to put you in your place and I don't want to make you ashamed of me and about what I write- I love freedom you MUST take any place you want for me
I'm just responding to your opinions with other opinions of mine

Do you think yours are more valuable than mine??-.
Look I find it really interesting to talk to lesbians because many of them are intelligent and I am comfortable with them--and this is mutual for them too

There are plenty of examples of hotwifing and wife sharing as a couple done well.

this game is unique in the plot and it is a game
there can't be masterpieces by plagiarizing the plots of the other games you're talking about
being unique in the plot is the first requirement to call a story a masterpiece
and this game has all the requirements to be a MASTERPIECE in his genre and in the porn game world.
don't feel bad for me!
But the fact that not everyone likes it just means that it has a specific target audience... and it is always the case with all masterpieces of literature and cinema... this will be "cult" story

As one of the first and being 6 years old this December you'd think this would have set the bar for this type of game but it isn't.

you're right it's not a commercial story that becomes popular in a few days and then gets burned by time as are pop music or pop stories..
and it's impossible to copy it and maybe it didn't have set the bar for this type but for sure this story can't be written if you haven't really lived it--and telling it is difficult because many people are ashamed of being cuckolded and telling it in the first person (as is well known the MC is a developer of adult games... and Mircom doesn't hide the fact that ò'dea starts from the story with his real wife

but I leave that to his own words
Mircom3d said:

This idea was taken from a real life group that my wife and I were a part of.
It’s not meant to be something that has a tangible payoff or payout. It’s about opening up Anne and the couple to adventurous sexy things to try out and become more free.

But despite the fact that it is not in the popular theme the developer's efforts to make the best of his story seems to be rewarded

If you look at other patreon page of your game they are maybe 300 or more paying supporters but the incomings in money are not as much Mircon have
Popular story attracts cheap audiance of 1 or 2 dollars month
This mean the alnost all his supprters are GOLD AND LOYAL!
...the story talk about a controversial topic for an adult game... there are no porn movies with this plot
here we are talking about a couple relationship where the 2 love each other romantically but they dont want split and do not want have a monotunous boring life with same routine every days and sex only every Saturday night )this would be not ADVENTUROUS AT ALL)... as you see in spite of the supposed many haters of this game... which are always the same in this thread (about 5 are real haters then there are followers and fans like at soccer games)
the fact is that this theme cannot be popular because in all stories if the wife or husband cheats they break up
a producer who wants to make quick money with certain success would never invest in such a movie.

Mrcom3d is putting himself in this adventure because he is putting all his artistic passion for his own story

maybe this story is not from what he wrote in his answer?

it's not very important if it's all true but he's certainly putting himself on the line in this story and he openly declares that
and just because it's been 6 years since he started developing the game and this year he decided to rewrite it all over again shows that he doesn't want to abandon the story... he wants to make it the best it can be to create the GREAT ENDINGS that will surprise everyone

I'm here because I do play it but it's a guilty pleasure not a game I think is great because it isn't. In 6 years it hasn't really gone anywhere, it's stuck in a reboot limbo.

I think the reboot is the prove about the opposite you are meaning
I think he wants to write as best he can a story that he really lived with his wife...and it doesn't matter if he has another wife now...but for sure his wife is participating because the choices Anne makes are very feminine...and a male would be ashamed to write them...
but as you know: women are better than us men with sex and in many other areas-

That is why i like to talk to you I will not putyou in my blacl list!
I know you like this game... but as i said

You made the very bold claim that this story is a masterpiece and will remain forever in the history of the best porn games ...... but it won't. It's barely known now.

yes this is what i honestly think as a musician that like to play music that is not commercial
it is a passion
like Miles Davis.. John Coltrane or the band Weather Report
I like composition creates for a specific target (elite) of audience-- also in movies and in the poem

it's like the soccer fans or baseball fans... you want to part in the team here that are laughing at my posts.... but look I'm not alone... many are ashamed to say this game fascinates them and to give themselves a demeanor they write as if they don't like it and so they seem to take all the applause

I don't care about applause (don't be ashamed for me) I've taken a lot of it in my jigs and concerts---
I just found a game about a story I really lived with my first girlfriend

It's fine to enjoy games but lets not get carried away.

thank you for not having written all the words tacked on ... i hate those who write a thick monobloc without punctuation
it was my pleasure replay to your post.

The pizza thing was both good and bad, that you got the choice there who delivered the pizza, just a shame nothing happens if you choose the girl, not sure if anything will happen in the future with the pizza girl if you chose her.

There should be more things like this in the game

 

[Sadowdark]

That leads to the big problem i've always had with this game and one that stops it being a decent story....

What's the end goal for them?

It's been pointed out by more than just me that the couple act less like a couple as time goes on even in the reboot. It just doesn't seem to have a purpose besides being an Anne fucking sim.

You notice where this couple is going and they start acting separately. This observation is very old on this forum.

Welp, those are some of the most pointlessly atrocious animations ever. They cause Ren'Py to stop, freeze, and cry even trying to load them. Them when you do see them, they're 110% pure unadulterated Uncanny Valley.

Did you know people run by just swiveling their legs forward and back? Yeah, that's how running works.

What's the hottest angle for a blowjob? That's right, staring as the crouched woman from behind and watching her bounce up and down 2 inches. Super sexy, and also totally how a blowjob actually works.



Please, would all non-animators STOP trying to animate shit. It's looks like hot garbage 99% of the time. If you aren't going to learn HOW TO ANIMATE, then don't fucking do it. Letting Daz3D or Blender interpolate between 2 keyframes might technically be animation, but it's shit. STOP MAKING SHIT.


EDIT: I found out why Ren'Py doesn't like the animations. Instead of using a actual animation or video capable file format, the dev instead is forcing Ren'Py to load a few dozen PNG images and play them in sequence. So while most of the frames are in WEBP format and less than 1MB in size, each of these animation frames is a 1.83MB PNG, and the dev is having Ren'Py try to load a few dozen of them at the same time.

So out of all the possible implementations developer chose the absolute worst possible way of implementing "animation".

Why?

Just why man, why?
