Ren'Py The Awakening [v0.4.5b] [SLim Games]

[Lolph Dundlen]

Nah, the story was initially blatantly focussed on the 'brother/sister' relationship. It was 90% of the first update or 2, it was blatantly used to draw in subs and fans. We got to the very brink of them consummating their relationship, then the 'sister' just vanished from the story. If she was not intended to be central to the overall story, then it was a very deceitful and disingenuous beginning, presumably done because incest is a popular fetish that is guaranteed to bring in the punters.

You can say 'the sister was never intended to be the central relationship' now, but it is a clear bait & switch if you do.

This is without even getting into the other examples of bad VN writing that we're seeing. Such as starting up storylines with multiple new characters then just moving on to others before they reach any kind of satisfying conclusion. A classic example of another game doing this is 'Something Unlimited' and if people paid attention to how much stick Gunsmoke got for it, they'd probably realise it isn't a great plan. Also note how SU has moved away from that model now.

I'm not saying this is a bad VN, I kinda like it. Not as much as I used to, when I backed it for several updates after launch, but I still think it has potential. But it's clearly been losing it's way. Maybe it's starting to get back on track, we'll see.

Final point. If the 'sister' REALLY wasn't all about drawing fans in who are now hanging around waiting to finally one day see their pay off, and was really just a side character. Then her story arc should, and in any rational sense would have been completed early on, so that the story could move on. Much like the incest elements in the VN Take Over.

Now The Awakening has a serious issue when the story comes back round to the 'sister' there will be serious disconnect. Where has she been for months? What has she been doing? Because she hasn't even been visible in the background. How many updates are you going to spend reconnecting their relationship? Because it won't make any sense if they jump straight back to making out, let alone if they jump straight into bed.

I'm afraid it is bad story plotting, a bad story arc and smells pretty badly of a dev taking his fans for a ride. Which is a shame because The Awakening is good enough that it doesn't need to do that.

what's the deal with MC's father?

in prologue mother tells MC that his father is dead and in the latest episode MC finds a letter from his father and says that his father is in mental hospital.

Always happy to get an update for this game, it's a little unique among Ren'py stuff. Not a huge fan of incesty stuff though, but since it's changed without the patch it lets me enjoy it. That being said, anyone know of any other games like this, specifically the mechanic with the x-ray vision button and seeing nude versions of the renders? I love that so much. It's rare but a nice feature. Only know like one other game with that.

Need Help!
So I loaded an old save and in my last playthrough I had already given the maid costume to that one girl, but now I have to give it to her again. However, I don't have it in my items bag anymore and can't buy it either...

 

[preskerd]

Guys I've applied the bugfix on the op but I still cannot click the fucking chair. I need to do it to advance with Mom and claim my rewards for doing good in test. Help me please. Do I need to progress with some other characters? I'm already 5/12 with mom but cannot advance the teacher since I cannot click the chair. the teacher is still at 1/16. Help please

Ok, while I can accept this new update, I cannot accept that it took so fucking long to get it done, and published. As others have noted and intimated, after 3 fucking years of development, it seems this developer has found a new way to milk his supporters while actually providing little to nothing in the way of progress within the story.

Hell, originally he had promised that THIS update would begin to integrate the prologue with the current story, and yet, nothing has been done on that front. He promised that this update would be "HUGH" and include a lot of missing content that - at the time before - he was unable to include in the previous update, yet again nothing.

The way it seems, he is planning to milk his supporters for the next 3 to 5 years before this fucking game is done. The developer for "My New Family" another Renpy game developer, and "Harem Hotel", yet another Renpy game developer (both new, by the way, in using Renpy) have provided VERY decent games, with MULTIPLE updates and with EXTENSIVE content and progress, while this developer follows a shit schedule of updates, minimal content in every update, and piss poor work or progress on said game.

I cannot continue to support, or follow, a developer who cheats and lies to his supporters or potential supporters, when there are so many GOOD, HONEST, developers out there making good with minimal delay in updates, progress and content WITHIN the game, and does not use delaying tactics just to make a few bucks.

So, unfollowing this game and recommending no one bother with it, since it seems - and feels - as if it will either never get done or will be abandoned within a few more months.

Honestly, how intact are the incest elements of this game anyway?

My impression is that after the initial updates the dev took an axe to the story so Patreon wouldn't drop him, and now any pretense to incest is only possible by turning off voice acting and using an fan made patch. A patch which does nothing to make sense of in-game events which directly imply the distant relationship of the MC and his landlady and roommate.
