VN Ren'Py The Beautiful Game [Ch.1 v0.9.8] [Daggum]

Hi, Joker Leader: I don't know if it's because I use a Compressed game, but your mod breaks it from the get-go....
Maybe it's because rpyc files are not decompiled...

I had the same issue. I moved Joker's files into the game folder and then back to the scripts folder. Now it works. i have no idea why

I went for the table football graphic because I thought it looked good and was a fun thing to do when looking up bios. Something a little bit different.

I plan for there to be three chapters/acts. The story is told over the course of a football season, which is c 9 months. Quite a handy timeline for a game with a pregnancy kink... almost like I designed it that way Basically, relax, because there's a lot of story till to be told, and like with any story medium, the focus changes over time, from episode to episode.

I have to agree that the football table graphic was a good choice and also nostalgic for me as I personally had one when I was growing up. I foresee those 3 chapters being pretty big which will make it interesting in the future and I think the main aspect I'm interested in is how the mc will get both Orla and Astrid to help with the VR project. Also, depending on what you do in the future we may see it expand to beyond that season if any of the staff/players get called up to play in the nationals.

Firstly, have you ever looked up youtube videos on what life is like in Japan? Some videos go into detail of places to go, do's and don'ts. Some even mention the fascination they have with western men that even their own husbands invite western men to come stay with them so they can cuck their wives. On top of that we also have western men who aim for Japanese women just so they can say they had a little oriental.

I am not denying there is a kink for that. But there is also a way to present it that is not completely out of nowhere. "Here are 2 new female characters from Japan, we know nothing about them because they are side characters whose team only visit for friendly match so they'll go away after this, but let's just go through with the kink right away" is not really doing it for me.

In regard to that scene I would say the appearance of Katy and Lily during the scene wasn't really confusing since those who take part in chikan probably do so for the thrill of having control over the victims and in addition they may also get a thrill out of being seen by others. Considering Katy and Lily previously did the art scene, they are potentially voyeurs who enjoy watching and was probably the reasoning behind why they were selected to watch instead of the other characters. Also, that and the following sex scene may have been done to appease those who are fans of Hana yet dislike her design considering she has full body tattoos that some may consider yakuza tattoos.

Same as above, except now it's "Here are 2 new female characters, let's proceed with their kink and involve the previous 2 newest characters too".

Just to be very clear, I have nothing against the kinks themselves. I'm just disappointed with the execution and the constant appearance of new characters while IMO we have existing characters that have not been developed yet and this update continued to not develop them. This is concerning for me because the existing character pool is already large enough that adding more and more new characters (especially those who are "temporary" characters like these 2 Japanese players who are going back to Japan after this and probably will never be seen again) is just constantly taking away the chance to develop the existing characters.

I guess in the end all I want is to be feeling invested in the existing characters, and I couldn't achieve that in the game so far that I'm worried I'll just get more and more disappointed in the future. But who knows, happy to wait and see how the game goes.

Firstly, let me just say that I'm not 100% sure on where this update started because I forgot to save in the update before this so I had both of them to play. Now in regard to the Japanese girls, considering they were only going to appear for the one match and one train and one sex scene before going back not much information was really needed. From a guestimate, they either both play midfield or ones a midfielder and the others a forward based on the match. Information wise Rin is the more forward of the pair and the other girl is shy yet more of a closet pervert than Rin is considering they both laughed at mc's inappropriate joke and Akiko had that fantasy. The way the scene was handled on the train was limited due to a few things, firstly due to the time of travel and secondly, due to mc's nature as his to passive with the way he handles the girls. Chikan usually happens when the train is packed at peak times when people are traveling to/from work or school. Another way its depicted usually ends up with the victim either raped or dry humped when there is a lack of people traveling but because of mc's nature as mentioned this won't happen and left the mc's actions limited to just foreplay. I do think a little interaction could have been done with the other two girls instead of just the shock and awe faces.

In regard to character development I think more will be done in the next update so might be worth checking that out. As I mentioned I forgot to save so I can't really comment on the character building in this update. I have a feeling that not all characters will receive development though considering some of them will be background characters so they won't get much show time. As for other potential random characters, this is a sports VN so you'll eventually meet more scenes like the Japanese one but the mc should develop more confidence so more actions will likely be done in those and there aren't really that many other racial kinks that can be added so it'll probably just be plain sex actions or leaning into other general kinks. I say general kinks because there are two sets of kinks, those that are accepted by people and those that are frowned upon/against the law yet some people still do them. Depending on how the dev handles it, you'll probably have some girls come and go considering each season a team plays 2 games against the same team or more if the dev ends up covering other types of matches.

Considering Katy and Lily previously did the art scene, they are potentially voyeurs who enjoy watching and was probably the reasoning behind why they were selected to watch instead of the other characters.

The bit that was I guess a bit confusing for me (or at least it just didn't seem right), is that they were messing around practically on Katy and Lily's laps, and yet there was no recognition at all on either side. There's no way I can think of in that situation where at least one of the three from the art studio scene wouldn't have looked at faces. I think there might be a choice that allowed you to skip the art scene, and so avoid meeting Katy and Lily there, but if you do meet them, there should be some recognition during the train scene.

As a side note, I wouldn't equate "did a live art class" with "potentially voyeurs" unless you're just going with "are human, therefore they are potentially voyeurs" and having done a live art class is irrelevant.

I agree that some form of interaction between them would have been good but at the same time thinking of Akiko's shyness that would be understandable as it would have embarrassed her. I was even contemplating the idea that Katy and Lily would whip out their sketch books and start drawing but then that would pretty much embarrass everyone. Katy and Lily for drawing such images out in the open, the mc if Rin and Akiko looked at the sketches from both the current situation and the previous art class and then Rin and Akiko for having that evidence made of their steamy encounter which may also be bad for them if their parents find the evidence and are old fashioned.

I wouldn't say that the live art classes in this VN are normal which is even more evident when they used the models own cum within the mixed paints and the reason for saying that they may be voyeurs. It doesn't confirm that they actually are, just that they may be. As for "are human, therefore they are potentially voyeurs" in a way that concept is true because of how often humans stop to watch something even non sexual happening that has absolutely nothing to do with them. That in turn usually leads to them whipping out their phones and recording it and blocking the way for others so they have to walk around them which sometimes leads to people ending up having to walk in the roads with oncoming traffic. That can then be dangerous for those who are walking in the roads and lead to accidents yet those standing around just to catch a glimpse of what's happening tend to wash their hands of it like it wasn't partially their fault and go about their business. If it was sexual most of them would probably keep going about their business and covering their faces pretending to be prudes when they are probably not. Yet that image will most likely play in their minds till they get home and then they'll rub one out to it or hook up with their partner while thinking about it.

From my own experience, I've witnessed some of the act of a woman giving head in a college common room, a guy having sex on a bus and another guy getting head on a different bus and went about my business after I realised what they were doing. I've never gone over to them and made comments like "dude, your girl sucks like a dyson", that would just be awkward. I've also heard several rumours over time of other similar things happening that others have witnessed but rumours are just rumours unless I witness it myself and can sometimes be started just to discredit a girl.

I also think she's one of two possible people that leaked the photo shoot picture (the other being Leah).

Could be Leah but whether you're on the Light or Dark path there is no difference so I really don't see her personal interest in doing this.

As for Siya, she's new here, ok she seems a bit jealous of MC’s popularity but again I really don't see her personal interest in doing this. And if it’s for Priya she would have shown the photos to her only and would not have taken part in the shooting.

As Ivy mentioned, she is the main target of this leak, her high reputation will suffer from it, whereas MC is a nobody, not a big deal if his mother sees the photos. So the culprit is definitely someone who wants to see Ivy fall from her throne. Well, ok, could be Leah in this case, she is very ambitious, but why not Mavis or Romere too?

It could also be anyone who is secretly working for Margot Ramsey, who must be pissed that her goddaughter Hester signed with OCFC instead of her club, Alba.

Right this leak does not affect the girls on the team cause there not nude in the calendar & Ivy is only topless anyway and most of her breast is covered by mc’s hand. don’t they have topless beaches in London, I think only the conservative holy rollers would be fake clutching there pearls that there so offended by it. the rest of the people would just think it’s racy or edgy or exotic, but nothing to fire a coach over. Could it have been Ivys ex husband trying to get back at her?

My guess is that the leaker is the bitchy blond who is the head of HR. Can't remember her name. She seems pretty toxic and isn't important enough to the main story to not be able to get rid of her.

I thought about her too because she was pissed at MC from day 1 for taking the big office she wanted. And maybe she also has a link with Margot Ramsey, would be a good twist.

don’t they have topless beaches in London

London, England? London doesn't have any actual beaches, let alone topless ones.

 

[blkcrow20]

They are also not in London or even England.

Where Ivy is from originally I think is being suggested? She's English.

Yes, she is English. But there was a mention of topless beaches in London. lol

Sadly, there are no topless beaches in London.

It might be enough in England for a WSL manager to get sacked / forced to resign for appearing topless in photos that leaked out. I guess the reason for dismissal would be conduct unbecoming for her position / bringing the club into disrepute but as it's a club calendar there's no chance the club of being able to use that. However the English press would probably take the conservative / moral position mentioned and hound her until she did resign.

My guess is this woman here



There's a scene early in the game where she gives Ivy and the MC the finger behind their backs, presumably because she wanted the office that they gave him. Some people are fucking petty about shit like that and hold a grudge. Plus the fact that she gave them the finger behind their backs shows she's a coward, and leaking those photos anonymously is a pretty cowardly way to attack someone.

Since the leak only includes the photos of them it seems to be targeted and not anything engineered to hurt the team as a whole or the players. So my thinking is either someone with a grudge against Ivy and/or MC (which woman above seems to have) or viral marketing, leading into my other suspect, Leah.

Leah knows this calendar has to sell and one of the most successful ways to market something in this day and age is with "leaks" that go viral. This leak will make the news, get talked about on social media and generate interest in the calendar. As a marketing expert Leah would know those things. And given the offer she made the MC about the VR stuff she really doesn't give a crap about pissing off Ivy and going behind her back to do something.

In London no but there are several nudist beaches throughout the UK. Going by a quick google search the following are some of the sites;

Perranporth (Cornwall): The northern end of this large beach is a popular spot for naturists.
Saunton Sands (Devon): A popular beach known for good surfing conditions, with a designated area for naturists.
Wild Pear Beach (Devon): Located on the Exmoor coast, it is known to be frequented by naturists.
Holkham Bay (Norfolk): A wide beach backed by pine forest and a bird sanctuary.
Rhossili Bay (Wales): The northern end of this beach is popular with naturists.
Kenfig Burrows (Wales): A beach and dune area often used by naturists.

There is a website that lists even more but I can't confirm any of the locations myself.

Before this current update came out I remember a scene where you fucked hana at her house I'm not seeing it in the gallery has that scene been removed?
