VN Ren'Py The Beautiful Game [Ch. 1 v0.8] [Daggum]

[MiltonPowers]

Yeah, It was recently but in an another thread we both are in (Lost Daughter) - Dev updated his thread and removed "swinging tag".

Oh good. Nice to know my memory is not completely gone then.

Great update

Strange that you didn't get the date with Chloe, it's a long one that ends with a very spicy scene in a club. You should restart the game to see where you missed it.
As for Pippa, the scene is only available if you're NOT on the Jasmine path.

Daggum Games Excellent update, as usual, I always enjoy seeing how the MC is maturing into a man. The relation with Hana was a bit rushed though, I was expecting a very slow burn with this little cutie because of her traditions and her shyness. At least I was expecting an official date before anything would happen between them, call me old-fashioned

 

[Daggum Games]

Let me throw a counter point in here. I'm not suggesting you shouldn't be compensated for your work here, but I personally have never supported a dev who's game I didn't find here first. Not because worthy ones don't exist that aren't here, but simply because there aren't a lot of ways to find these games...or at least ones that I know how to find. When I do find one that I like I tend to support it for a few months and then move on to a different worthy game dev. I don't have a lot of disposable income so that's usually only 2-3 devs/games at a time. But after I've dropped between 30 and 50 dollars on Patreon or Subscribestar I should have permanent access to your game...but unless you pay the one-time Itch fee to purchase that's not the way it works. I truly hope that you get the support you need to keep working, and I will be subbing early next year, but it won't be this month. I'm already committed to a few, and it's December so disposable income is at a premium. Good luck sir.

I think we are actually in full agreement! Also, and just to be clear, I'm not going around asking people for money. On this thread I have several times told people NOT to support me if they can't afford it. All I am saying here is the leak is in no-one's interest. I'm too small and it just fucks everyone over by delaying the next update. If someone is so delusional that they think most devs, or me in particular, are swimming in cash, then here's a fact: I burned through two months of Patreon funds within the first two days of starting work on v0.9. The money went on assets, and paying for one technical animation. I need to do at least the same expense when I start work on v0.10. I might never break even on this game. If I can't break even, then I doubt I'll ever make a game after I finish TBG, simply because my wife won't allow me. Anyway, I've got a strategy for making this less likely in future.

Daggum Games - Please update your tags. You won't believe how many people miss your game because you didn't bother to tag it with fx oral sex, vaginal sex, etc. - many users filter their game lists.

Thanks. I've updated the tags in general now, but it already was tagged with oral sex, vaginal sex.

EDIT: ARGH - THERE'S A SEPARATE TAGS SECTION I NEVER EVEN KNEW ABOUT. WILL SORT THAT IN A BIT.
EDIT2: now updated

Great update
On another note there two gallery scenes that are unlocked but not available in my playthrough:

Chloe - this became available to all paths when I released v0.7, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Perhaps you are using an old save with the path switched to off for her? You pick up the option at the hair salon when you first meet her. Pippa - don't worry about that, it becomes available if you are on a different path in a later update.

Edited my above message because I was wrong, I DID get the option to get on Orla's path, I just forgot. :/
But the only thing with Leah was the choice to make a joke with her, not get on her path. Unless I forgot that too...

Leah - not got that far with her yet. That was just a little tease for something that could happen down the line. Despite the complaint by the "Ctrl" speedplay crowd that all the LIs immediately drop their pants around the MC, there's only 2 of the current 9 LIs that you can have full on encounters with so far. They were fairly speedy because that's their character. I've said all along side characters get a free pass, and are a nice way for the player to experience some action along the way without messing with the story. Many people will still approach this as a porn game, even though that's not how I've designed it. Also, on story, this is a good way to help the MC build up experience for when it really matters: with the LIs.

Thanks for the kind words. Hana - yes, you can see it as rushed, but this was by design. The circumstances around it were possibly unique. Imagine how they will both feel the next day, especially Hana, when they see each other at the club! Shame, shyness, anger at herself. I love Japan and its culture, but there's a downside to everything...

Wow, I see where you're going now and I love it!
And yes I agree, the circumstances were special that evening.

 

[Hungover00]

So, MC just thinks all the women are Canadian and just really nice to him, eh?

Yeah, you're right - it gave an option where you'd get something different if you were on Leah's path in the future. I forgot exactly what that said.

No, nothing has happened with Leah yet. She is still in a relationship.

For a game that has more than a few scenes in Chess, That's a Rook, Not Castle.

For a game that has more than a few scenes in Chess, That's a Rook, Not Castle.

Fair comment; rook is more correct than castle, but certainly where I live you use the terms interchangeably. Also, my guess is most people playing the game won't be very familiar with chess and so castle will be less confusing.

Now, where's my remote controlled vibrating butt plug, I have a tournament to attend.

Please work that into the game. Not a match, obviously but idk, a bet for a practice session or something. I know a girl who can't resist bets and challenges. She's cute too

 

[Hungover00]

MC talks to velodrome cyclist, says he'll talk to PR about a collab; goes to lunch with PR, does not mention collab. WTH?

I'm not sure why but I have been having errors constantly with the saves. I use the compressed version. If I click on a save that lines up with the start of a particular scene then it loads fine but otherwise I get this:

You must be using a save file from a place that was renamed or doesn't exist in that way anymore. This is a while back now but v0.7 was a major reboot because i implemented a harem/monogamy system, had some new scenes towards beginning of the game, did the chloe all paths variant, made a no forced sex system and in turn a virgin route, and so many other major things i can't even remember now. i talked about it at the time and the devlog has some key elements. My guess is you are using saves from an earlier version that will in some cases be incompatible because of these major changes.

as a monogamy only player
even though Jasmine's monogamy route takes a while to get started

which is something I actually prefer I don't like it when women instantly throw themselves at the MC

even though her route has a couple of dialogue inconsistencies

which I am sure will be fixed in the future

and I did not like how we had to play that weird sexual drinking game with other women together

just to get on Jasmine's monogamy route it kind of ruined the romance and intimacy of the relationship

but if you manage to get past all of that Jasmine's route is the best romantic route in the game

Ah I see. I didn't pay attention to the changelog when 0.7 came out. Since 0.6 was the remaster I just assumed it was a straight continuation.

Thanks for that.

I guess I'll have to run it back from the start.

he does it off screen. she mentions it in later meetings. though it doesn't come to anything substantial, yet.

I didn't even get the feeling that she was so traditional. I thought she was actually trying to get away from traditions, but might still be affected by them as it was her upbringing and culture.
I'm hyped for their future interactions then ! Drama is life (as long as you're not involved in it )

my guess is most people playing the game won't be very familiar with chess

are there really that many adults that don't know about chess ? especially after the queen's gambit series, I would think most people would be familiar with chess now. though I never checked the feedback on the series, so maybe I'm just an old fuck xD

 

[Noble_Undergrounder_of_Ea]

Are Pippa and Jasmine the ones that are incompatible to be both in the Harem?
Since based on what I see if you reject Jasime you get a to go to Pippa's house and have some BJ.
If you say yes to Jasmine you don't get a text instead fuck Jasmine in the sauna.
