VN Ren'Py The East Block [v0.7.2] [Bobbyboy Productions]

[StrongEpsilon]

...

I have already shared my opinion about this vn.
It's a project of a creator, with his vision and skill and, as long as it has supporters, I really have nothing to comment.

But, I think it's wrong for you to have too high expectations, as long as you don't pay for it. Yes, you pay with your time, but it's a risk you take.

Just yesterday, it seems like, I saw the fmc model in someone else's project. A model that looks very much like her (here - image).
I still think her sister is a much more well-built model.

That's your first mistake. Listening to that guy and his constantly negative opinion. He has always had very little positive things to say about the game but yet is still here and playing it for some reason..

Why is saying negative things about the game a bad thing ? I would rather hear someone's well thought out critical thoughts instead of their positives any day. So should every developer. He wants the game to be better - like we all do and that's why he puts effort into his comments.

There is a lot of truth in what he says. The main characters no longer have a personality (or really even had one in the first place). All the lewd scenes are just completely random events. With almost nothing being connected to a story. Previously established storylines have got lost or forgotten. Maybe BigSexy didn't realize Kathryn is supposed to be working for Santini for the past few weeks but we have never seen anything of that. While he's meant to be the main villain, so that connection has to be an integral part of the story. It's poor writing and the last chapter really shows how bad it is getting. This is what happens when you make up a story as you go along.

No no, only positive things about the game are allowed. Only people who are probably friends with the dev IRL or the dev paid money to are allowed to post.

All sarcasm aside I think as long as the person isn't just insulting the dev or the game they have EVERY RIGHT to post their opinion. Those that are threatened by people they don't agree with are the ones with the problem.

People disagree with me all the time and the ones I respect are the ones that give a reasoned argument and don't just call me a troll or tell people to ignore me.

 

[Joshy92]

There are criticisms that are either valid or well-thought-out. But when certain people do nothing but complain abut how long an update takes then come here to moan even more, well I think the dev can safely ignore those people.

I agree with your premise - empty puffery talk about games nonstop is disposable, and I'd much rather read solid discussion or criticism. However in this case, that guy's made a sport of constant ranting, update after update, with such fervor it calls his own motivations into question; like he's on some payroll for doing hitpieces

Dev Log - June 4th, 2025

Hey everyone, it's time for another dev log!
After a short break and handling some family stuff, I’m back at it, full steam ahead on Chapter 8. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve made solid progress: around 100 new renders completed, the first scene fully written, and part of the second underway. As I mentioned before, I’ve been extra careful this time to make sure all the assets used in this chapter are optimized for smooth rendering with minimal post-work. Testing everything beforehand really paid off.
This chapter will mainly focus on Kathryn and Luke, with two smaller scenes featuring other characters to help push the story forward. We’re now past the halfway point in the game, and things are about to heat up on the East Block. While Chapter 8 will have fewer renders than Chapter 7, it won’t be light on story. There’s going to be a lot of dialogue that dives deeper into the main characters’ thoughts and motivations, and I’m really excited to share more lore and depth with you all.
That said, there will still be some very steamy scenes, plus plenty of choices to explore. I’m working on adding more content to the “pure” path to make those choices more rewarding, and I also plan to go back and flesh out some earlier chapters to ensure a better balance no matter what path you take. Speaking of choices—there are some major ones coming up for both Luke and Kathryn, so choose wisely.
Originally, I was going to roll out some quality-of-life updates after Chapter 7’s launch, but I’ve decided to include them in Chapter 8 instead to avoid confusion about new content. That means the scene gallery, revamped save/load screens, and character profile screen will all be debuting in the next update.
One quick note about the loyalty release for Chapter 8: it will require three months of consecutive membership, plus the same criteria from the last update. I’ll explain all the details in a separate post soon, so if you want early access to help test, make sure you’re subscribed to at least the $3.50 tier starting now until release.
That’s all for now, I’m really looking forward to spending the next couple of months building out this update, and I can’t wait for you to play it.
Thanks again for all your amazing support!
Bobby

I've seen and read those words somewhere in the post before. However, there will still be some very hot scenes as well as plenty of options to explore. I'm working on adding more content. It also said: lots of content, hot scenes, shit yourself to death, but saw in chapter 7 and I only liked one: showering with Katherine's sister and the toilet and there's a hole in it and lots of dicks and inside Katherine is all cummed up and stuffed to the brim inside and that hot scene and great content, what was in the game. Again he does something there and cuts back on content again like he did in chapter 7 and that's it. And the choices he says, yrs is a complete hat, I played from the beginning to the end version 2 times, once yrs no pressure and nothing Luke made her do, no sucking, no filming, and sex with a bum and all that, yrs is a complete hat, still did nothing and pure and innocent fucked only with Luke, and then she saw the bum's dick and jerked him off and fucked and sucked in the toilet on the beach yours, these choices are so bad, nothing affect the plot of the game, believe me, I played 2 times, the conclusion: these 2 games are the same action, pure or lustful Katherine, the same choices will be in the game.

Depends of what u call negative,not all criticism are good to improve the good.

We’re now past the halfway point in the game

most disappointed news I'm ever read on these thread, it the game just barely starting get good why so short

 

[Thisguy01]

Ah ok, thanks for the heads-up. The "review", or rather opinion, of game progress, is what scares me most for games I like. Playing now with a fresh restart

 

[Joshy92]

You guys know what I'm going to say. Do it Pat fill my girlfriend's womb with your potent seed and make me a father

 

[blkcrow20]

No, not that slimey pos. He deserves nothing.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

No, not that slimey pos. He deserves nothing.

i mean, maybe a quick right hook..

 

[TonyMurray]

You guys know what I'm going to say. Do it Pat fill my girlfriend's womb with your potent seed and make me a father

That dress she's wearing is absolutely made for someone like Pat to start getting too handsy.

 

[Dessolos]

I can't wait last time I loved watching them dance it was hot ..... I have say glad this game isn't doing cummy kisses don't think I can do that with Pat if we get the option to share and his content isn't locked behind NTR

 

[Justaphase]

That dress she's wearing is absolutely made for someone like Pat to start getting too handsy.

She does look gorgeous IMO, all dressed up for a date with Pat. I just hope that there are a good amount of options. So the people who want to see Pat fuck Kath, get it and the people who don't can easily put a stop to it.
Like I said before this is the point where I can easily see the game start going in a more NTR/cheating direction if you pick the wrong or right decisions depending on how you look at it.

My expectation is that this will be a proper cheating opportunity (if just the two of them), where Kathryn can "go with the flow" and allow Pat to do the stuff we all know he's going to try to do (or at least some of the stuff). I also expect that there will be the full range of options though, so if you don't want anything to happen, you'll be able to avoid it.

The thing to consider though, is that the choice in the last update might be the start of that - so if we permitted Kathryn to go alone in 0.7, we might not be able to fully stop something from happening in 0.8, as we've already sent her down the path to that. Personally, I think that shouldn't be the case, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if it is.

Either way, I'll be fine with it, because in my more controlled save, I will be going with Kathryn, and she's only going alone on my full corruption save, which I use specifically to have all the scenes to play out to their fullest. The only way it would annoy me is if on the more loyal saves, there are no choices to avoid anything happening - I just can't see that being the case though, as it would set a disturbing precedent.

Luke's dad looks weird and creepy.
If Kath had sex with him I'll be disappointed.
