Ren'Py The Good Family [v0.03] [Pipers Nest]

[bennycack]

I've come back to this 4 times now with each update - I guess something is appealing in there.
Each update has the same issue for me: the choices (in the choice-based novel) don't matter. There is no flag system; nothing is being called (you decide to leave truth or dare game at first chance - later talking to Dana about watching daughter making out - this could be avoided if there was a check in code if scene happened).
Then there's the ending to this update with Dana. Okay, I'm down for this to happen... she talks about Greg constantly during the massage killing any momentum, then even say imagine her as Greg... I've turned down giving Greg my phone number, doing any photo shoots so far, he is grotesque - so I loaded the auto-save from before the massage and chose to go to sleep. I fully expect to come back with the .04 release and have Elena talking about the scene that didn't happen because that's how this game works.

I checked their Patreon; there is a post about user issues and I think this may address mine:

2. Uncontrollable Scenes

• The Good Family's story direction has already been decided since v0.01 -- some people really hates some crucial scenes -- there are scenes that really needs to happen in order for story to progress but will now be careful in the upcoming releases on the scenes in which to show.

Not sure which scenes people hated only after the .02 release but it sounds like shit happens no matter what but your choices are to view or not - not ideal but I would take it if they will clean up the mess (don't carry over dialogue about scenes skipped).

So I get what she was doing for the story, but my MC is interested in Dana, not Greg. Seems like we get choices regardless of previous choices though so that shouldn't prevent an issue going forward. Thought there could've been an option to tell her that wasn't a turn on for her or something to that effect. I guess we'll see how it goes. So far there's been no forced content so not too worried.

Maybe I am dumb. But why is that lady living with them again. That makes no sense did I miss the explanation why Florence doesn't go home then come back in the morning

if i can have real h scenes, i confess it seems quite possibly one of the goat

No explanation given, except that she needs the money, maybe it’s implied that she will not just clean the house but also clean the people who live in the house with her tongue
It’s great for soldier boy too to be more comfortable around women, atleast the mature women in the house like him.
Elena Wants Dana to be loverboys sex tutor but I have a feeling this will backfire and make her very jealous when she hears Dana having screaming orgasms everyday. Also her bitch daughter won’t be able to get any sleep with her walls shaking and hearing Dana screaming
Hopefully Elena joins in for a 3some and then her daughter catches them and is so mad she moves out

backfire on the maids husband I think. young trainable untainted dick. milfs dream and he has 2.

Nothing wierd. Given the speed at which updates are coming out these days, "slow burn" means that the game will only get to the action in a few years. And we haven’t gathered on F95 to watch some soap opera, each episode of which airs once every half a year.

You talk as if we all share the same taste in AVNs, but nothing could be further from the truth, unless you stated your IQ was above 75.

congrats on the release but i have a question
will it have incest?

Hopefully, LUCA, turns out to be ELENA's Boy that she put up for ADOPTION, when she was a very young teenager!!???

So far i like this game but i also noticed no matter what choice you make it ends up the same. i dont understand that? Hope this game has plenty of NTR cheating in it. I also wish i could rename the main characters to make it more personal.

The choices matter in the sense as soon as you opt out of a single instance of advancing things with a character you're effectively off their route and unable to move it further and/or get scenes with them. Which is a dumb way to go about it, but unfortunately all too common in these games.

Rated it 4 stars cause it has flaws.

But I definitely recommend it.

isn't luca the same age as her daughter?

Yes i would say he is...
But i also wouldn't get my hopes up, that we get family relationships, but who knows
It's not in the planed tags and she/he is on Patreon. We all know what that means...
I love playing incest games, but not all the games i play need to have that content imo

Agree, I actually like the MILF content better. Just hope they don't simp the MC.

I really loved the game, it deserved much more attention from the public, a masterpiece in many ways. Milf is hot and unique, but there are some things I don't like about the game. For example, the protagonist's morals, he seems more like a faggot, Look at these pathetic dialogues where he lets the girl hit him. In another dialogue, he says that Julian's father is worse than him for hitting his son. What father has never hit his son to educate him? To make things worse, Elena and Sofia's daughter felt sorry and pity for Julian, who not long ago wanted to beat and rape Sofia, and he still harassed Elena. Besides that, he's a gangster who attacks everyone. The MC even shows up out of nowhere to defend Julian. This plot is pathetic in every way.
this game is amazing and has potential, i hope developer write better the story in next chapters.

The paths are all jumbled up like a bad game of narrative Twister.....half the time, you can t tell your left foot from your right plot twist. For instance, if you distance yourself from Luca (you know, the "no Luca" route, because who needs that drama?), suddenly Elena acts like she and Luca were basically Siamese twins, binge-watching rom-coms and "getting closer" than a bad Tinder match. Okay... over the top... but you get what I mean. Total plot hole alert!

And don t get me started on that infuriating, utterly pointless Truth or Dare game....it s like the devs threw it in just to troll us. I bailed on it before Sofia and Laurie started swapping spit like it was amateur hour at a rom-com audition. "My" Elena didn t witness a single sloppy second of it. Yet, when she gets home, she s yapping to Dana about how she "totally watched Sofia and Laurie go at it like pros." What fresh nonsense is this? It s like the scriptwriter had a coffee break mid-sentence.

The second anyone pumps the brakes on an option, the whole game s logic goes full wobbly Jenga—dialogues start yapping nonsense that doesn t match your choices at all. Meh... at least the renders are chef s kiss gorgeous, and the story s got enough juice to keep you hooked, even if it s leaking plot consistency like a sieve.

Uhhh there is a difference between discipline like spanking a kid...and PUNCHING THEM IN THE FACE! I really freaking hope you don't think punching your children hard in the face (possibly even directly in the eye based on the bruise that appeared on him) is actually good parenting that most people engage in? That's assault/abuse and doing that to a family member absolutely is horrible...

Hello. How much freedom of choice here? Monogamy route possible? I tried reading reviews, found two written at the same days, one says "choices seems to matter" another says "pseudo choices which don't matter"

So far freedom of choice is ok, some lesbian flirting but that's all but in the next upgrade we will have the infamous "photoshoot" so i don't really know.
