VN Ren'Py The East Block [v0.8.2] [Bobbyboy Productions]

[Dessolos]

Jeezus, it was one update. People are acting like the Dev shot your dog. Not sure how many updates on other games I play I thought were “meh” or emphasized a path I didn’t like. Never would think to call the Dev “trash” or act like an 8 year old flipping a chess board. One NTR flavored scene on one path and now “he only caters to the NTR fans.” Based on ONE update. For fucks sake.

that's not even the problem.... maybe for some but I wouldn't say that's what most have issue with since it's avoidable.

Please can the F95Zone Team add an Ai Tag to the Game Thread.
Ignored it myself already but would be good so it gets Ignored automatically for the people that Ignored the Tag.
Or for the People that seek out the tag.. if they exist.

That photoshoot scene was funny lol

She dipped too low, and is now going to crave more. Scene could have easily been avoided for it not the dude to turn around and just kept an eye on them.

I'm excited for the coming updates how SHE'S going to decide now and not the dude.

I prefer NTS over NTR myself and still enjoyed the update. Everything NTR related is completely avoidable and while the story isn't as amazing as it usually is (if you skip all the NTR scenes), it is still logical and coherant. I'm sure it will flow better after future updates but all these people complaining like the game is over for NTS enjoyers are just being overly dramatic.

Other than the AI scenes being a bit too frequent.. the only real valid criticism I think you could make is the lack of content for the amount of dev time from last release (if you are in the NTS only boat). He's kind of slowed down in updates but is still faster than most other devs releasing games of this quality so hopefully a more steady pace means he can avoid burn-out.

Personally, I am glad he is seeing a spike in supporters after this update (at an all time high). Hopefully he is encouraged and will pump out the next update even quicker.

The issue here is not NTR or NTS, In fact I do enjoy both occasionally. The people who voted for NTR just did what they're supposed to do, they wanted NTR and were willing to pay for it, it's all well and good.
The issue here is trust. How can we who have supported the developer thus far ever trust him again when he goes back on his word and sells his soul for money. What changes will he make in the future for the highest bidder?

It's better for the action to happen sooner rather than dragging it out for years, like in many famous games where nothing happens in years.

If you think that's the issue, you haven't been reading any of the criticism you're responding to.

You can request new tags are added by going to the OP, reporting the post, and in the "more information" box, suggest new tags to add based on content now in the game.

Hey, be cautious what you are writing! I never called him "trash", just a sellout, which he is evidently. The game started with a focus clearly on love and sharing/swinging paths, this update there were zero(!) scenes belonging fully to either the love or sharing/swinging paths! Characters acted obviously different than established in the 7 chapters before.
This was an update completely catering to the NTR fans with the "crowning" moment where Bobby hardcoded that Kati stays with the a... Dad instead of going with Luke.
This is a forced NTR scene, how should we as the players prefering the love and sharing/swinging paths ever trust Bobby again? It is clear he caved in to the NTR fans, since the characters act different than before and you cannot evade a hardcoded event.

I would say the set up was forced but the NTR wasn't forced. but I can't disagree with the rest sadly

This.

Kath cheating on Luke was inevitable, but the way the developer wrote it was too contrived - and while the scene itself was sexy & erotic, the build-up wasn’t there and it “ruined” Kath’s character (aphrodisiac or no).

 

[Freedom9555]

Great update so far.
With the s** scene with father in law was great, but a missionary scene was missing and some Dialog.
That creampie should have given her some pregnancy scare.

Bobby after released this update:

That creampie should have given her some pregnancy scare.

I think Kath mentioned going on birth control now that she’s basically begun fucking other guys (NTS), so the creampie will unfortunately not be of consequence

I think she just took the morning after pill (twice if she went all the way at the glory hole) so I believe that Pat was entirely unprotected. So there could be a pregnancy scare I believe. Kath and Luke even spoke about having a baby at the end of chapter 7.

I asked in a report and they gave a detailed explanation of why they won't add an AI tag for a game with AI in it with a reply of 'No', brilliant stuff.

That was also my understanding, I hope this will not be forgotten in the game.

i understand partially the use of IA, but i remember the last years special halloween Kath did a dance to Frankie without using IA and it was better than the "dance" she does to Franklin, why not copy it? Dunno.

We can't trust Bobby anymore to give us a compelling drama with a pregnancy scare. Ironically, this kind of drama would be perfect...

AI made this game too compromise, especially when the dev just don't even know what he want to do anymore.
AI is not that bad, many AV right now use that and many worked. But the different is - they made AI scene for what they wanna make in the first place. This dev, feel like he just random make scene, and after that try to glue it to the story... And when story wise is weak point, that make thing even worse.

the story's pretty good

This update is the most controversial one.

 

[visan]

i came here to ask why kathy is going out alone with pat when i cant remember ever agreeing to it before, and also her toughts are from someone having couple problems with luke when a few scenes before they were saying "i love you" to each other, and then i find all this talking about forced ntr on the last update, is this the problem or the forced ntr is something even worst? well anyway, can someone point me when it was decided that she would go out alone with pat? ive already replayed the last time they were with pat and didnt find any choice about a new going out alone.
