VN Ren'Py The Adventurous Couple [TACOS S2 P4a] [Mircom3D]

[Adviar5050]

Okay, lets break these down and tackle them a few at a time



The problem is Tony does not have to cheat himself, to get Anne onto the Martin path. Its a choice the player can actively make unless of course, the relationship points are low enough and those points don't really have anything to do with Tony cheating. Yes it makes sense for Anne to cheat and show no remorse if the points are low. I mean usually they are too low because you've been a cunt to her anyway. but if you've just chosen the path yourself... well it makes no sense to the story.



This is a cause of the problem for the bugs I think - once you kick Martin to the Kerb, there is no reason why you should be on the MartinAir path. the game doesn't know what to do. But at the same time she shouldn't have been given the choice, you've just separated because you've cheated and then reconciled.... the cheating should stop....



See my post above, with the amount of choices you can make in this game too many paths is putting it lightly, just rough maths before I got to over 800 different ways to play. the gmes a mess



Its only fun when it works, it only works when the choices have consequences and they are meaningful leading to multiple playthroughs, Throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks is not fun.

I agree with you that the game has too many paths. I've always felt that puts so much pressure on the developer. Not only does he have to keep the logic going he also has to create separate scenes for each path. Even if you can keep the same renders you will have to change the dialogue. He added to this problem when he added the piercings. Now on top of all that you have to add either both piercings, one piercing or no piercing. Now I will say I have absolutely no idea how hard that is to do but it takes work. I'm on his highest patreon level and there was never a poll done on whether it was even needed.
I will say that I do think there are options on the $150,000 path even if you choose to shut down Martin. First he could try and win her back. It could be a slow burn. And just because she's shut Martin down doesn't mean she can't fool around on her trips. She could also keep fucking the copilot while Martin watches.
Here is my problem, while I understand that people don't enjoy the direction is going I'm not a fan of people saying "I don't like this or that". Tell the developer what you want to see instead. For instance, I think in the next update they should talk about where this is all going. Similar to the discussion they had on the vacation in the original ( I know I'll get criticized for this but I actually thought it was smart). Especially if they separated and got back together. It would make sense that they talked to make sure it doesn't happen again. But like I said its just my opinion.

I'm probably one of the few that is liking it better than TAC. But I also only play one path - sharing/hotwife. I have zero interest in the cheating paths. I definitely like having more control over who Anne can be with.

Yes, it's definitely better -- and.... I'm in cheating path, My wife is a super hot-wife... there's a lot more content than in CH14 and it's not repetitive at all
The scene with Walker as I watch with the cameras from my office is really epic (she seems to don't know about cameras... and this is a bit strange to me.. It seemed logical to me that she would know... anyway.)
..I even added another love point in the relationship between me and my wife...


and now I have 21 love points


Mircom is doing a perfect remake that increases the sense of this great story in every path!

Even though it's mostly a montage of "I guess no one's up yet," "no one's home," and "I guess I'll just chill here alone" screens?

Yes. and yes it is boring. not only is he a bit spineless but kinda pathetic there. sad aint it, thats the the least boring repetitive stuff in the game atm. to me atleast

 

[Cuneglas]

The problem in this game has always been the choice and the amount you can make while not locking out other paths when you make that choice. People don't quite understand how high a number gets just by multiplying the result by 2 over and over.

But at the base of it you have 6 main paths

Faithfull
Anne Cheats (players choice)
Anne Cheats (games choice)
Tony Cheats
Both Cheat (players choice)
Both cheat (games choice)

6 paths is easy to follow, but wait,

lets multiply that by 3 when we add the Cuck or not, Swing or Not, Swing and Cuck choices

up to 24 now.

next comes the Martin Air or 75k choice and we are at 48 different ways to play.

Cuckquean is next and that 48 doubles to 96

next choice is separation, which only comes on the cheating path, so not quite doubling, more increasing by 2/3s which is 64.... bringing us up to 160 different ways now. after separation comes reconciliation or not (which again is not quite doubling only 64 paths can chose to divorce or separate so we are now up to 224!

Finally you have 4 different piercing options so we are at now at a count of 896 different variations to play this game.

I mean this is just rough numbers and not really an exact science and I haven't even taken into account the choices you get when it comes to LI's

essentially its only a handful of choices and doesn't seem like that much to track, but its a lot of results that may not work well together.

Its no wonder its gets messy

Isn't it a good thing to have options?

I still love this game a lot. And a main thing why i love it is, that you can play it in different styles and versions on an on...

 

[Adhdclassic]

Wonder will Emma be the one to tell about MMC that Anne is fucking his father. Anne would never sleep with my father like you, really. Pulls her phone out and shows Anne getting fucked by his father and someone else on his plane. You were saying. That would be awesome.

Oh don't get me wrong, its not a bad thing to have options. but unmanageable options, that is a different ball game.

Theres nothing wrong with having one path close when you traverse another, you still get the options and replayable factor and the game stays a little cleaner.

But having the choice of
Faithful, CUck, Swinger, Martin Air, Cuckquean, 1 Piercing
then
Faithful, CUck, Swinger, MArtin Air, Cuckquean, 0 piercings

is just an aesthetic choice at the end of the day, it doesn't change the story in any way shape or form.
Theres choice for replayability and then there's just choice that can tie your game in knots

 

[sagerock820]

On one hand I was happy he gave us choices with the piercings, I'm not a fan of nipple piercings, but if it's going to mess up the game.............

 

[Alleykatt]

What happend to the parts where Tony would eat out the cum from all the guys?

I think the dev got squeamish and took it out. Probably pressure from supporters. Pity.

 

[sagerock820]

It was always optional, so don't know why he would have. I don't do that, so I didn't know they were not happening anymore.

 

[yffoh]

Not sure if it was the mod or something, but my save is gone and replaced with a bunch of other saves. Guess I call it here It was getting stale anyway, so maybe I'll just update the gallery mod as it updates to see new stuff.

 

[SoiCowboy]

So, did Anne invite Walker to Barbados or did she give him a blowjob?

 

[88stanford88]

Yes. and yes it is boring. not only is he a bit spineless but kinda pathetic there. sad aint it, thats the the least boring repetitive stuff in the game atm. to me atleast

Boring??? Lol this game Is the opposite of boring... There Is a lot of sex action... Boring Is AWAM

 

[sagerock820]

So, did Anne invite Walker to Barbados or did she give him a blowjob?

It's your choice.

 

[88stanford88]

It's your choice.

It is Anne choice...
She can also fuck Walker

And following the plan that Anne and I chose at the beginning of the game, I suggest to Anne that she should go at the beach ... also because I don't like my wife to be bored ... the plan is really about the boredom that after 5 years of faithful marriage was about to lead us to divorce ... and here I get a +1 love score


My wife at the beach meets Dean and I suggest she invite him home so that I can watch the scene on camera, but the most important thing happens later in our chat via text message on the phone


This means that at this point Anne trusts me completely and completely appreciates the way I love her....

We have never been so open and sincere during the 5 Years of fidelity imposed by a conformity made of platitudes and conventions to be adhered to towards common sense that is one of the stupidest things that exist today.
... My wife and I are traveling towards a sincere and "romantic" love that makes us free from the bondage of bigoted and self-righteous conventions...
We are free to live our relationship and that is what makes us closer than ever...
No one will ever be able to separate Anne from me...
Our love is passing tests that no other couple in the world would pass and that is what makes this story a masterpiece.

A Love with a capital L that no one will be able to separate!

Thanks to Mircom3D... for me he is the best developer in adult game world!

PS: surely some ridiculous idiot will add his stupid laugh below... showing only his envy and the limited intelligence his brain possesses

So TACOS one is different than Chapter 1 to 15

Yes - & no... the first version of 'The Adventurous Couple' (TAC) went up to Chapter 14. Then the dev released Chapter 15 which was kind of like part 2 or chapter 2. That got abandoned by the dev I think... it could have also been a choice of his patrons though... but the game we now know as 'The Adventurous Couple Original Story" (TACOS) was released.

So TAC and TACOS are the same fundamental thing but play them both if you want!

 

[SoiCowboy]

It's your choice.

I know that. That's why I asked the question to stimulate conversation.

 

[litbnwo]

Idk why there are saves after downloading it from GOFILE. But I moved my folder. Also, it's strange that there's no warning about the ending, it just throws me to the menu. Is the last scene where Anne shows MC the pictures and then they go to sleep?

 

[Stupid moderators]

SonuncusuThe black screen at the end appears, save it from the save section, then download and install TACOS 2, when it opens, instead of saying start, access the black screen you loaded from the save section, the game will continue.
