Ren'Py - The Hard Way [v0.47.0] [Muffin Maker]

I loved this game. Good quest tracking and decent progression. The renders and models are fantastic. There are a few grammatical and spelling errors. But, hardly enough to notice. I can't wait for the next release

I think this might be my first review here, but I just had to write this one.
The good:
* A lot of characters... I guess? It's comical how many the game just throws at you in the first 5 minutes.
* some kind of freedom and "gameplay"
The bad:
* characters are as shallow as a puddle on a flat highway. Honestly, entirely useless.
* Repeatable character interactions are copy pasted as well and you'll just skip through them.
* art is average at best, but usually worse. Environment art ranges from overly-reused (park for example, you will have seen in 20 games already) to terrible renders full of noise. (seriously, at least render your backgrounds properly...)
While character art is kind of okay, it looks liek the dev just had fun designing dozens of characters and then just threw em into some kind of game.
Sex art is terrible, copy pasted for every character, low quality, no background and not remotely exciting.
Progression is also atrocious. You can be banging people after like three in-game days. You'll strip them nude and bang them in the middle of the street, no one cares.
The game also makes a point of saying everyone's a virgin, but then you just fuck them raw and no one cares.
The story is also a mess that makes little sense....
honestly, I would strongly recommend to avoid this one.

What a massive undertaking of a game. Good luck to the creator on pulling it off, but so far so good. Can't wait until we have more breedable characters. Got a whole town to repopulate! Really hope they include the "mothers" for that feature.

Very promising, maybe a little too ambitious (on the nb of characters, please keep the aging mechanic). I learn something on a country global economy. I've always been looking for a game with "sex over generations".

Early in Developement, but promises to be big. Give it Time. I like the prospects of many characters, different kinks and of course the story. Now a bit generic, but could be very entertaining. I hope for many different possibilities.

I liked the story and also the gameplay. For me it was not repetitiv.
I cant wait to later impregnate all the girls!
One thing i would like is, that there are to pics per chat in the char list. The ones that are already there and one from the side where you can see the belly grow if that girl is pregnant.
For now its a solid game as is

I don't think Loli would be on genre if they had monster chicks, there problem in sequence for me if you having sex right where is he shooting his cumshots at, is he doing wild and inside or he doing in toilets?

Pregnancy only happens 2 npc, and its not to shop keepers.
Story is interesting I wish it could expand on Bernie power removed,
Other is could MC sissy villains into woman?
Where is dad in all this?
Who were aliens who abducted MC?
I want upgrade further? Its good but I wish you could keep expanding.
Graphics aren't bad.
I wish the bio details you can keep charge of x ray womb status like for example certain characters how rapid pregnant they are? No ding sound is required but it be strange if there was pager that told MC when impregnated someone? there nothing of sort. I think call system should revamped for private meetings or date days.
I noted:
Sex styles: doggy, standing vaginal? Anal? bJ I think it would been hotter if desks were used or wall.
No PE or cooking?
Why not have MC working as assistant helper to nurse at HS?
Working at handy man is kind of sad, handy man is usually janitor, window cleaner, gardener?

I do like a lot of the ideas in this game, but it's a work in progress and definitely needs some polishing.
I'd very much like to see it expand and succeed, though.

I've seen worse renders, the writing is better than most similar games, the overall progression through the game feels very nice while the progression with individual characters is (still?) extremely repetitive.

It might become a really fun game, the potential is there.

I love the concept of the game so far and I love the variety of girls, women, and monster girls in the game as well. Right now the game kind of reminds me of No Man's Sky when it first came out. A mile wide and an inch deep. There are a lot of women in the game to talk to and have sex with but the scenes are very repetitive and short for the time being. I rated the game 4 stars because the overall concept seems good and I can definitely see this game being a lot deeper in the future.

I wish the Dev team all the best with this game and I hope they're able to implement all of the improvements that they're talking about including. If so, I can see this being a favorite of mine in the future.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I've been playing the game for the last month and I absolutely LOVE it.
Almost no grind and no fumbling about. Just follow the hints, say hi to the girls, flirt a few times and their legs spread.
Also love that you can have a kid in the game that actually grows up. Just 1 for now, but hopefully more will be added soon.
With the elements currently in the game, I think it's well on its way to becoming the ultimate sandbox game.

Version Played: 0.07.4

Given the low ratings this game has received and the screenshots, I can see how some people would take one look, turn the other way and not look back. I'm not really sure why I decided to try it myself aside from the tags and the big ol' tiddies I saw in the main image. However, upon playing it I actually found the premise very intriguing as it does a decent job of explaining why you are practically the only dude in existence and why all the women want to jump your bones. It then turns it into a big mystery to solve replete with sci-fi and pseudo-fantasy elements. Honestly, those aspects are a far cry better than most of the harem games I've played on here. Unfortunately, where things really fall apart is that there aren't many organic sexual situations and there is a significant grind for nearly no pay off since the sex animations are all the same.

Positives
+ Tons of girls
+ Intriguing set up and story
+ Gameplay is simple

Negatives
- Grindy
- All sex scenes are nearly identical with no angle changes or zoom-in
- Sex scenes just happen where you are with very little, if any, build up
- No bush (in a game with this many girls of varying ages and body types, no bush is a slap in the face)

I get the criticism this game has received, I really do, hell I agree with it, but the 4 or so hours I spent getting most of the content in the game were a lot of fun.
It's so, so hard to give this game above a two as it doesn't really deserve it, but I am because I see some potential here. This is really not going to be for everyone, but if you dig harem games, I think it's worth checking out.

Note to Devs: Guys, guys, GUYS. You are so close to something good here. Please take more time developing actual sex scenes and more dynamic camera angles for them. A great example of a setup would be when Dianne walks into the dressing room and sees MC's junk. More like that. Just hot situations that can get the player's blood pumping. Also, fucking add some bush. With all the girls on display here, I don't think it's a big ask to add some variety (particularly since the vage models are all the same to begin with).

Ok this game isn't bad, not bad at all, but some things it could improve on are as follows.

Storyline coherency, the story is currently all over the place, and improving the story tracking for all the separate storylines would help immensely. Second thing that could be improved, Pacing, I generally don't like these but making some events skill gated, could greatly improve the pacing, and put all those skills you've thrown into the game to use, instead of them being largely useless as they are currently. This would also make the events feel more like a reward.

But these are just the thoughts of a casual gamer, keep up the good work, its rough but probably better than what most of these "critics" could do.

Good framework but it needs more substance, as long as it continues to be updated I think it will turn out to be a good game. I like the direction that the story is going in. It does lag a little when jumping from place to place.

its a nice game with lots of potential and lots lots of girls, the story is kinda complex but goes along well with the many many different kinds of girls available , almost all girls have sexy scenes so far, but i would love to see more variety since its the same pose for all of them and the scenes are way too short

Game has promise. The open world sandbox is pretty well made but the sex scenes are sparse and the little it has isn't very good.

The developer should focus on variety of sex scenes and a dynamic sex system (Lab Rats 2 should give inspiration).

There is a storyline and the developer obviously focused on that aspect but this is a porn game so the sex should have the main focus. I think it has a 2/5 stars because too many people got blueballed by the game. I think that's unfair and the game should be rated a 4/5 on potential alone. Although I hope the developer really starts ramping up the amount of sex scenes soon.

Shows promise. The game is a bit grindy but not necessarily in a bad way. I actually really like the part of the game where you can upgrade your cabin by purchasing things for it. It makes it feel customizable which is something that is glaringly absent from most games. It is pretty light on the porn though, there could be more of it and a larger variety than what is in the game. However I like that there are so many different girls in the game that you can form relationships with. Overall, if more porn is added to the game, I think it will be really solid since the foundation is already there.

Game is ok. Just grinding amount should be reduced to speed up realationship progress. Character models look nice and there i s big variaiety of them. Only problem I have gotten so far when I chose sex scene to eat out. I get error screen and have to press ignore error to continue playing.

Pros:
+Interesting Premise
+You can have sex with everyone you meet

Cons:
-Everything Else

This game does a great job of proving why quantity < quality. There may be a decent story in there somewhere but you will be so lost after being introduced to the 50th woman in 5 minutes that it doesn't matter. You have to manage stats and grind for no good reason and every single character has the same relationship arc; chat, flirt, kiss, sex with the same animation for each character. Honestly, if there were 10 women and each had unique content there may be something here, but right now there is no point in playing the game because the reward is just the same crappy animation reskinned.

I want to like this game, the premise, the fetishes, the variety all tick my usual boxes but the actual gameplay and content is so bad that to give it even 2 stars would be overly generous. What I don't understand is why the dev has clearly put so much work into creating this mess when the same time could've gone into to making a trimmed down version with decent sex scenes and no pointless grinding

Freshly download, just ignored the patreon thingy, and got booted off for "hacking" about 10 or so minutes in game.

"Okay, sure, I might have done something wrong, even though i didn't even change anything..."

Got on the forums, checked how to delete the persistent save file so I could try again, with a fresh save.

That happened again twice, until it didn't... for all good it did. Too much grind for little payoff: My reward was bad grammar, too many stats to grind, too many thingies limiting my "days…

And repetitive (as in, “the same for every chick”) badly done sex scene "animations" - between quotes, because I don't even know if they have the right to be called that.


It ain't work the hassle. If, someday the devs try to stop trying to enforce a pseudo-drm that fucks your saves / play experience to sell "cheats', this might be worth something.

Until then, don't even bother.

Surprising amount of grinding for little payoff. Immersion breaking the way messages and character introductions are done. No dev can please everyone but the game play shouldn't be annoying, and this is.
