VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - The Dragonspire [Ep.3 v1.0] [Lancastle]

The game looks good, the characters mostly look good, Sasha is sweet but the story is dull, the parts of it I could make out anyway. There are some scenes where I have no idea what's going on, the characters do things for no particular reason, the dialogue is bad, everyone M/F and F/F flirts with each other and/or talks about sex constantly, sometimes in professional situations in really inappropriate ways. The characters act like everyone knows everyone in town - just MC's first name is enough for people to go "oh yeah, I know him". This game needs a writer, badly but as things stand, the story is going nowhere. In my head cannon, the MC quite his job and walked away from it all (with Sasha) immediately after his first meeting with Lin - where he had to have sex with her after saying no.

Good luck with it, but I'm out.

The text is terrible. Too small/hard to read anything

MC acts like a total and utter douche but in a non chad variety

Sasha is annoying and clingly

everything fun seems like its corruption

AVN needs a rework for any further interest of mine

This game is written by a virgin who's never been close to a girl.
It's so stupid you'll find yourself screaming wtf to yourself.

This is a game for you if you are a virgin and under 15.
If not, then ignore. Just block, burn and run.

Good game, the character models are good, but the best, avoidable NTR, and has potential to be much better than it is now. The story is an urban fantasy with cool enough protagonist and the game give you, the player tons of options to choose from.

The render are not good and have more blanc point that actual picture.
The character are really not well written, and no one talk like this, it's cringe, and worse we see that the person who have written this must be young or have no experience as nobody say "it's an hottie" in front the said person ...

Even worse, his "friend" don't forget him but ... do for year, act like if she met him yesterday but at the same time talk like if se didn't talk to him for year.

This make no sense at all.

Was enjoying the new version of the game (1.1) till I hit the cinema loop. After finding the solution of getting an updated script.rpa file was able to continue.

I find the story, models and animations to be good and will definitely keep following Dev and if steady updates happen will subscribe. Dev currently is active and responsive here so that is also a plus.

Do not get the low rating or understand what the other people have issues with. Have seen much worse written and visuals get better score. So take that into account when thinking of trying the game.

It weighs a lot, there are no animations, there is no walkthrough, the game doesn’t let you watch all the scenes, stupid correspondence via phone...
The characters and plot are not interesting.
I just wasted my time downloading and unpacking.

Personally did not like that there is too many paths to chose from but the story is very short from start to finish. Replaying to see different scenes and outcomes becomes very tedious and not rewarding as it's super repetitive. Maybe if the game was much longer and each path would be completely different it would make sense, but minor alteration is just bad taste in my mind.

Review for v0.1.4
Starting with positives in this game - Renders are good in this game though at times Main character looks strange in some scenes , some female characters looks amazing . Music is a huge plus point
Moving on to negatives - Story doesn't impress me , it is somewhat boring and doesn't make much sense till now , to make matters even worse are the choices in this game . We are asked to start dating in the beginning of the game when you don't know much about her and when you haven't met most female characters . You can't say no to the girl even if you are given the option you are forced to have sex with her ( Seems like rape for me and you can't avoid it even with the choice to say no )
So apart from some good looking girls , nothing much in the game - story and writing is a huge let down in this VN .

Rendering looks good,but some of the characters have unnatural expressions.
The story is rather tedious and uninteresting, I hope to enhance the fun of the script.
There is still a shortage on the renpy system,Hope it can be improved
Good luck with your game.

Well, what can I say.

-Renders look good so far

- Models look good, at least most of them

- story ... bland and boring - trys to be funny but isn't funny at all

- mc gets a birthday present (girl shows pussy to him) and even if you say no to her request "lick me" , he goes for it. (thats super cool if you can't stand her face and that overused hairstyle ) depends on taste ofc. but I generaly don't like choices that are not choices and forced content. MC looks like a tool/toy to me. Equaly to forced content is the scene before that with sasha and the other chick with the panties - a third option would be cool, because (yes its a porn game and the chicks are beautifull, BUT) what if I didn't want to see any panties of them? It's the start of the game, the MC does know sasha for long time and maybe her "hot" friend is open minded like that, but we as readers don't know them, and this scene seems out of place to me. Maybe in a later state of the story that scene would have been okay/better, when you know the girls better and you care about them enough, just my 5 cents.

3/5 for the renders - rest wasn't for me.
Good luck with your project

cheers
