VN Ren'Py The East Block [v0.8.3] [Bobbyboy Productions]

[Justaphase]

Like a few others, I hoped the NTR tag would include a bit more netorare - in the first-post "genre" spoiler, perhaps it could say netorase? It's not an abbreviation there; I understand the searchable tag must be NTR for now.

Still, it's extremely well done netorase, and gorgeous as hell.

I would at least like to see an occasion or two when someone can't be reached by phone.

I will also add, though, that it is netorare, very much so, from Kathryn's point of view. Depending on player choices, she is cheated on, secretly, quite a bit. But of course, people are all about the male POV with these tags!

There is no NTS tag available on here, only NTR. There is a swinging tag but that doesn't really apply here in the pure sense. I wish there was a NTS tag as it would save alot of the same conversations and disappointments for some.
I think that the "female protag" tag is a bit misleading aswell, as even though you can see things from Kath's perspective all of the decisions are still made by Luke.
As things stand cheating would make very little sense IMO, though things do seem to be headed in that direction with the upcoming Pat and Kath date. Also with some of choices of being able to cheat as Luke so far, which Kath is obviously unaware of. I do wonder what will happen when Kath finds out about Luke possibly cheating and whether that will lead to just a straight up bad ending where they break up or will it lead to Kath cheating in revenge?

Indeed:

Spoiler: Spoiler just in case - is the teaser, but not the unblurred images

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That looks like it could be a cheap motel room to me, so my guess is Luke and Kathryn on the path where Luke also goes dancing.

(Also, no idea why it kept fudging up and showing the attachment too, outside of the spoiler, so if you were quick enough to see the original post before I deleted it, that's why...)

I kinda wish that she would have some fun with him in that red dress as well. Oh, and don't forget the motel receptionist.

Guys, did the dev say anything about a possible Steam release?

I'm pretty sure he's working on it and is making a steam trailer at the moment. But I also heard steam aren't allowing devs to release adult games in early access anymore.

He might have to wait until the game is done to put it on there, unfortunately.

Release date estimation?

Release date estimation?

Bobby is aiming for late September to early October.

Bruh I paid for that 50$ GOAT Tier so if the update is in October Ima be PISSED.
Also I agree, the Flasher supplanting Protagonist [biologically, not socially] would be peak.

If you're in The Goat tier, then you'd have saw this in the "SPOILER'" post comments in regards to who gets the loyalty early release. Even if you drop down a tier in membership, as long as you hit this criteria, you'll be one of the first to receive the update.

Wow. I was a big fan of Bobby and this game when it first came out but the intervals between updates just keep getting longer and longer (just like every other game I follow). When I see posts like this about money, patreon, etc. this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm so tired of this patreon, subscribestar, game development model.

I don't mind it cause it's just early access for the ones the support more than your average supporter while the others just get it like a week or 2 later. But yeah wish dev's didn't have to rely on Pateron but it is what it is no changing that , especially since they are indie dev's.

Just send me a message on patreon and I'll make sure you get it when it's released for your current tier if you don't want to continue support.

Same here. It's why I don't support many games monthly, particularly those with long gaps (3+ months or more) between updates. For those games, my support comes when the update drops. Everyone has their own strategy, but that's mine.

It makes the most sense tbh, from a supporters point of view, while not being great for a developer. I've been stung before by supporting a certain developer for consecutive months only to have it be abandoned with no warning. I'm not saying that that's going to happen here, Bobby seems pretty active. But you know what they say, once bitten twice shy.

In such cases we have a saying: “Measure twice, cut once.”

They're not comparable proverbs. One means to check thoroughly before you do something, the other means you've had a bad experience with something so you're cautious about doing it again.

I also supported him at first, but I saw that he was slow to update and I stopped.. I only support those who update every month.

Monthly updates would be impossible for a VN of this quality, unless you had literal 5 minutes of gameplay updates, no thank you. If I'm "buying" updates I also expect my money's worth.

It's normal that when a game's development takes longer, updates also take more time and the gap between each one becomes a bit wider
