VN - Ren'Py - The Builder [S2 Ep. 8.1] [LewdRobotics]

While the writing is not necessarily consistently well done between all characters, it seems not too bad for a game of this genre. Also a variety of characters. Scenes and renders are nice. I appreciate that there is some semblance of a plot / narrative, and the option to reject(?) some characters coming onto the MC is good, to me.

Amazing renders, incredible story. Definitely one of the best to do it out there in the world <3 I do believe that there aren't that many games out there which has better graphics than this one, and the writing is exceptional as well. If you are interested in this genre, you are not going to be able to stop playing it until it is fully over. Made me want to start my own project, it is incredible.

Short summary:


There isn’t a believable sentence in the entire game. From the premise to the way characters act - it’s all just a joke. Models all have weird proportions and some have default daz skin.



Good Things

• Some situations are hot
• A couple of animations are decent

Bad points

• Idiotic writing and situations
• Bad characterization
• Many animations are bad

Average game at best. The VN is segregated into multiple episodes, which continues the story, but the problem is that your choices do not matter at all and acts as a skip scene and has no impact at all.
Renders and CGs are beautiful, animations are bit all over the place. Story and plot is average, because the player has no choice in anything, plus when episode change happens you loose some time in between and some context, which is bit annoying. Hopefully the game will address some issues and improve going forwards.

Animation: There are some stellar captures and visuals here. Sometimes they can be a bit off but more or less quality work!
Story: Simple, effective but intriguing. The sotry means that the creator can indulge in a variety of fetishes and they give the player opportunity to pursue or not depending on preference
Scripting: Generally well crafted and consistent with character.

Second I played this I knew I would get hooked. There's drama but not so much it keeps things from happening. Mysteries, but nothing too crazy yet. It has a good balance so far. Well done!

TLDR; Room for improvement, but still (clearly) an above average game.

I played this game a long time ago when it was only 1 or 2 episodes. I remember it being incredibly short and I thought nothing of it afterwards.

Now I'm back and there is 5 episodes. It's a decent amount of content. And I've read some of the other reviews as well. Although I can understand some of the complaints. Especially regarding MC's supposed celibacy and the inconsistencies with choices and story line dialog. And the ... supposed virgin stuffing a key into her snatch only for MC to fist her (with no bleeding might I add). It's definitely a head scratcher. Also just because it's a harem game doesn't mean you need to write all the female characters in a way that makes them willingly share. I get that it's easier to write that way, but it's uninspired, like WVM.

Having said that!

I still think this game deserves a 4 star rating (compared to other games on f95). For all it's flaws it also gets a lot of things right.

• The right amount of dialog (not a wall of text nor too little).
• Different characters (not copy pasting the same body shapes).
• The animations were fine. Some have complained about the animations. Honestly they were decent, I've seen worse.

Personally the only thing I think was absent for me was not really getting attached to a character. Just like the game makes a big deal out of being attached to the pregnant lady. But I couldn't, the characters all kinda want the same thing (to get pregnant or otherwise fool around because MC is "handsome"). But we don't really get to know any of the characters. For example. pregnant lady says she can't feel attachment. Okay cool, but why though? There is a lot of why's that don't get answered so we don't really know the characters. At least not beyond the superficial level the game has given us thus far.

Fun story and well writting, could have been a 4 or 5 star game really, but the game it self is just to much of a turn-off when your forced to watch a old fat milf with big sagging tits play with her self, and it wont stop with that.
I dont really get the point of forceing people to watch stuff they dislike or hate, insted show some respect for peoples kinks and fetishes and accept that not everyone likes the same things and dont force it on people.

Also found it extremly weird how your first virgin visit was, going stright to fisting/hole hand inside was just a big fail if you ask me, and there was noting virgin like about that what so ever.

Not sure what choices do yet, since they seem worng from the start, i dident go to the milf/teen at the camping but went for a walk, yet Milena said MC got her sons shoes burned, which cant have happened since i dident go anywhere with him.
You also have to watch what you pick and what you do, just going to visit the camping site ends out forcing you to have sex with a big tittet pregnant milf that i dident want to touch with a 10ft pole, one who is later forced on you when she joins with Carla and MC.
All in all choices seems to be pointless and its more of a kinetic story line then anything else, which also explains why you will have stuff forced on you over and over again.

Also really not a fan of tan lines in this game its way way overboard, pure white skin to me it just looks stupid and ugly, but maybe some are into that.

Story 2/5
Fun story, well written, but to much is forced on the player which wont be for everyones taste, story it self is proberely a 4 or even 5 if nothing was forced on you, game has choices but if your forced anyway then they dont matter.

Girls 3/5
There are a bit for everyone, big and small tits, younger and older, i wasent the biggest fan of their looks, so cant really give more then 3 points for that.

Animations 2/5
It feels more like picture to picture in sex scenes then animated.

Music/effects 1/5
You get told to have sound on, but there arent much music just a few sound effects that arent really good.

Updates 1/5
Chapters are very short, and game is almost 2 years old so it will just take to many years for this to ever get finished.

Game really had potential but not in its current state, ill visit this much later once there has been 3 or 4 updates to see if it stops forcing stuff on you or not, and then ill update my review again.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, choices dont matter at all in this game. They are just to skip the content. Game still behaves as if you took the choice to view the content and story goes along with that. Pretty poor story telling because of that, as dialogues happen referencing part of the story you didn't even view.
The only good thing is that there are some hot milfs here, but then there a lot of ugly teens as well

Season 1 completed. For me, this game fails on all counts because the developer started with a horrible premise and half assed the follow through.

You start the game with the developer set on a path of celibacy, he makes no secret of this, yet the town's rich lady (who's sponsoring/directing the project) chooses him from a room full of builder candidates because the nurse reports he has super sperm.

Then the titular project itself. One man, building alone, and a 1 year deadline. A given the building displayed, that is a challenging task even if the MC isn't taking the time to knock up every willing woman on the island.

I get it, it's a sex game, you're supposed to choose to have sex with everyone as soon as possible. As a player the idea of having to father a new generation for the entire town is great.

Except that's not what the developer gave you. From the perspective of the story as written you the MC are intentionally celibate and nothing occurs in the game that gives the MC any reason to change that. Nobody explains to him that this is part of the project.

And if you follow that path? It's ignored.

You get a chance early on to go to a bonfire and have some sexy time. If you don't take it, you're still kicked out of the hotel for having gone to it. When she changes her mind and wants you back in her hotel but tells the MC not to touch her daughter.

Even if you've played as the MC remaining celibate, the MC's thoughts are

Those camping huts don't look very inviting. And given all the offers I'm getting here, I don't need to go anywhere near her daughter.

Click to expand...

End of Episode 4, You don't get involved with the hotel owner's daughter? Beginning of Episode 5, you're still returning from the far side of the island with her.

And when you talk to the mayor's secretary she's harping on how you fucked the preacher's wife (her daughter) whether you actually even went to church or not.

Those are just the big stand outs, but there are many other instances. This isn't even the player's choices not mattering, instead it is just half assed work on the developer's part.

Oh, and I just watched the end of Episode 5 "You didn't choose the Carla path, but you can View the path anyway"

Holy Fuck the MC is spineless.

So, great renders, idiotic premise, and very poor development.

Do you like preggers? Well then this is the game for you! Most AVNs don't let you get your hands on plump ladies already baking until like, the end of the game. But not this one! You can get your hands on a few of them pretty early on, and they are very good scenes! That's really the most unique aspect in my opinion. The rest is pretty standard harem protagonist kind of AVN. Not really saying that as a negative, just....well it's pretty familiar by this point. But this one fully embraces the pregnancy/already expecting kinks with gusto, and as someone who enjoys that particular kink, I gotta say it's a nice addition.

Models are solid and pretty, lighting and environments are usually pretty good, if standard issue in a lot of places. But I'm not really here for that stuff, so I don't really care that much. Fun time, hot sex scenes, quality work. I fully enjoy it.

The Builder [Ep.5 B2]
I initially gave this one a facepalm, but I had to change that.

The good:

• The renders (They are very well done.)
• The models (They look very unique and well-designed. They do have saggy tits though.)
• Has a variety of kinks
• The story setting is set up fairly well

Between good and Bad:

• The characters (Some of them are well written, but some have contradictory views. Not gonna lie Carla is one of the worst characters of all time. So yea, there are some bad characters in the game.)
• The MC has contradictory views and lacks mannerisms. I have to say he is pretty weak-willed.

The bad:

• Although the story setup is good, the execution is quite poor. I mean, the setup indicates that he is being chosen because he has rich seeds and his job is to make girls pregnant. But when we get to our destination, we find that half of them are already pregnant. I mean why is he being chosen if there are other people fit for the job? This honestly makes the setup somewhat pointless.

I still have some doubtful views about this game. I can’t decide whether to rate it 3 stars or 4 stars. But it is definitely not a bad game as some people rate it to be. So, I am settling for a 4-star game.

reviewed against EP5 B2.

As a game it's interesting. The story feels unique without being absurd. There's a plot there but it's early doors but they get brownie points for at least trying to have something in there which is engaging.

The visuals are fine, all the girls look distinct. There's nothing in there which feels tired and reused. Even the sets don't have that "oh god, it's THAT bedroom asset again". In terms of kinks, it feels kind of pregnancy heavy, both in terms of how the expected plot is going to go and from some of the women you interact with (as you can see from the OP image). So that should be something to keep in mind if that ain't your bag.

It suffers, if it's possible to call it such, from an issue that the episodes feel small, like bite sized. This has the added effect that there's not a great deal of exposition behind what happens in terms of screentime. Like the developer knows the episode is only going to be x renders and, knowing there has to be time for sexy fun time in the episode, it means the pacing is quite fast and it could probably do with more dialogue between the MC and the people he's ultimately doing the dirty with.

As I said, it's hardly the worst thing, but the game starts with the MC being a voluntary celebate, straight edged kind of lad and within an episode and a half he's riding strangers. Expected from these type of games sure but it would be nice if it was better laid out so that the story isn't overshadowed. I think within a few episodes you've been introduced to a handful of women and I think you've ended up having sex with all but one of them. Which is fun and all but going all in too early in these type of games usually means there's a risk the game will go down the route of introducing more women, and it becomes a mess. Hopefully not the case here, games with a small core of characters always does better, but it usually means you need a tighter hold of the reign when it comes to using them in the story.

The Builder [Ep. 5 B2]

Good game. Biggest positive of the game is the renders and models. Models are not usual ones we see in many games. Some are usual one. And their body proportions are likable. Characters body structures are different especially breasts and areola and the tan lines. There is an Indian character in the game. Ofc we have seen indian characters in many games nowadays but the positive thing is model is not the same. I've seen the same model for indian character in different games but here model is different. Story is linear and obvious. A harem story where you fuck and breed all the girls ( Teens to gilfs ). Some girls are already pregnant though. I don't like NTR but there is only one NTR scene and it's completely avoidable. And NTR is not the core concept here. And there is also a voyeur scene. But it's not a LI so no problem for me. S1 ended with a scene which can start a interesting story.

+ Models
+ Renders
+ Sound effects

- short content

The story is interesting although so obvious it doesn't leave any mystery, the art is good and the game plays well.

Choices don't seem to have any impact other than see sex scene or not but it is a little too early to really tell.

The MC is not some loser virgin which is always good.

Adult scenes for what there are are done well making each one unique.

The big problem i found with the game is the women, while they are all varied in appearance and personalities it is also very very hard to like any of them, most are angry or annoying, cheating or just a slut and all of them are lying to the MC so its difficult to want the MC to have any relationship with them.

Story 2/5 (too obvious)
Sex 4/5 (quite good)
Characters 2/5 (hard to like)
Art 4/5 (good)
Choices 2/5 (too early to tell)
Kinks 3/5 (several even at this early stage)

Now with the Builder’s episode 4 out a lot of the earlier confusion seems to be cleared and the path where this game is heading also.

If you like pregnancy and harem, you should definitively give it a try. NTR seems to be optional, which is good. It’s not a full-fledged NTR game anyway. Personally I appreciate this. But this also means that the typical NTR lovers will be rather disappointed with this game. It’s almost impossible anyway to reconcile harem & pregnancy lovers and the ntr/cuck people. The Builder seems to be more leaning towards the harem and pregnancy content.

The story so far is very much “constructed” and has got some plot holes. Not everything makes sense. Like the nonsense about the mc’s vow of chastity, which is worth nothing anyway (it shouldn’t be in the game at all, if you ask me) or that almost every woman has got a severe fear of commitment (it’s true for the mc’s ex-girlfriend Carla, the pregnant camping milf Pam and maybe also for the hotel milf Milena). Seriously, most women in real life very much want commitment from a man, it’s rather the males who shy away from taking responsibility. There might be reasons why a woman might not desire commitment, like after a broken up love story too recently, which still hurts too much, but this notion is usually only temporary. In general women desire commitment a lot with a small number of exceptions to that rule. So their behavior in this game doesn’t make much sense and especially that this fear of commitment seems to be so prevalent and common. Therefore the plot really got its weaknesses and lacks realism.

A little bit of mystery is added into the mix as well, like there seems to be a problem with infertility in the small town, where the story takes place. That makes most of the women in town horny for the mc’s cock, because they want to have a baby. Well, you might have guessed it already, the story and setting are just there to justify the porn no matter what and to enable rather quick action.

But this also has got the benefit of not having to click through walls of text and or most of the time boring and or silly inner monologues for the action. Everything is pretty straightforward.

The cast is hot so far and diverse enough. I also think the mc looks adequate. But some of the ethnic chicks don’t look like ethnic chicks. Especially not the grey haired scientist in the beginning, whose name I forgot. She is supposed to be black, but doesn’t have any black facial features (like nose and lips.) She looks like a white girl, who just has got black skin. There are several nice and realistic looking female black genesis 8 models and I wonder why the dev didn’t make more use of those. The Indian woman owning the camping site also doesn’t look very Indian to me, except for the skin color.

Another bad design decision was the very much trimmed red pubic hair of the pastor’s wife. It simply doesn’t look realistic at all. Trimmed pubic hair doesn’t look like that, I don’t know which daz3d asset the dev used here, but it looked terrible in my opinion. He should use another asset with more realistic looks. (F.e. the mayor’s pubic hair looked realistic in the small daydream sequence - but the shade [fake blonde] was unrealistic as well). The tone/shade of her red hair should also be reworked for the sake of realism. I really hope that some npcs will get a few optical tweaks, because they need it.

So far the Builder features some animations, but mostly stills, which is no problem for me. There is also sound, but not all the time.

In order to come to a conclusion the Builder (ep. 4) for the time being deserves the average rating (3 stars) but has got the potential to become a really good game (4 stars) at least for the pregnancy and harem lovers despite the somewhat botched plot and some unrealistic design decisions.

A breath of fresh Scandinavian air. A simple story suitable for an adult (kinetic)visual novel without too much drama.
The action may seem a little rushed, but the goal and temptations somewhat justify the behavior of the characters. And from my little experience with Nordic women they can be very direct and uninhibited.
Pros:
- No midget 18 yo MC with a horse dick.
- No useless and long childish talk and useless inner thoughts.
- No bimbos.
- And a big plus for women with new faces and, roughly, life-like bodies.
Good job, I think it deserves 3,5-4 stars for now, but I give it 5 for encouragement and compared to the quality of other really bad and overrated VN.

This ain't it chief. The story is mediocre at best with the main character that feels more like a side character in other games. The "vow of chastity" is an illusion; the first day the dude is there he breaks it - which makes you wonder why it's even a story element. The writing itself is subpar with a large number of grammatical mistakes. However, I do not rate it poorly because of that - I'm assuming English isn't the developer's native language.

The renders are alright, but the animation is rough. Arguably bad enough that you could probably get away with little to no movement and provide a better overall experience. The environmental renders are nice and a welcome change to the usual riff-raff.

The characters are all over the place. A small town in the middle of nowhere, but we somehow have a Vietnamese family, an Indian lady, and foreign inn owners. Honestly, when I think of a town called Fjorda, in an environment that looks Scandinavian, I expect Scandinavians. Broke the immersion a little.

Lastly, episodes are extremely short. Meaning there isn't much meat to it as it is. You'll fly through Ep 1 & 2 without realizing it because you've only been playing for 10 minutes. Episode 3 will take a bit longer, but it's like 20 mins max.

Overall, nothing worth writing home about.

I was rather impressed with the Builder. The characters and scenes are fabulously well rendered. The story is unique and completely original. I've never seen anything quite like this. After playing and thoroughly enjoying the recent version, Ep.3, I went to the forum to leave some positive feedback. The hateful messages I saw in there were abhorrent! I could hardly believe what I read after playing such an interesting and rather charming game! All of the objections that I saw there have now been addressed as far as I can tell, save for one. The game still needs to have an exit button installed for the end of your play session.
This is not your typical harem game, nor is it a typical ntr game... In fact, this game is not a typical anything! hahaha It has more in common with certain rare and beautiful flowers that are rather pleasant and inspiring to many yet poisonous to others. Do you dare to try something different? If so, give the Builder a go. Personally, I am anxious for the next update as this is a top quality title! (Just needs an "Exit" or "Quit" button to make it flawless.)
This title is one of the best I have played and is an instant favorite. Normally a game that is new to me will sit in my testing folder through several updates, just to make sure it's heading for a destination I would like to go. But, I was so thoroughly impressed here that the Builder was immediately moved to my WIP game folder where I keep all of my favorite games that are awaiting updates to complete them.
So, thank you LewdRobotics for a fun and unique experience that really stands out in the crowd! Please continue this amazing game! Don't listen to the haters. You seem to have this under control and responding to the valid concerns in the updates. I hope to see much more creative and original content from you in the future. Thanks to Uploader 7767 for posting it here. Sláinte!
Adventure ever on my friends, Phat

I'm surprised that this VN has such a low rating. It is a good premise executed very well - I don't see why some people seem to hate it. It has some drama, but primarily, it delivers upon it's porn premise very well. I was very satisfied. The low rating does not reflect the VN. Definitely give it a try.

Looking at the other reviews it definitely appears that most either love it or hate it. Personally, I don't see anything to hate. So, I'm going to rate it high to even things out a bit. The ntr is completely avoidable if you don't like that. The renders and animations are high quality and the story telling is above average. I suppose it's possible some of the low ratings are because this is not your standard VN story. I actually applaud this. It starts slow but if you stick with it you will be rewarded.
