Ren'Py The Headmaster [v0.16.3] [Altos and Herdone]

[TheDevian]

Why do I keep getting so many bad reviews on this site lately? Not that I need constant positive reassurance but I feel one and two stars for my game is pretty unfair. You create art, share it with the community and then people go out of their way to shit all over it because they don't understand it or it's not to their taste. Puts me in such a bad mood. I need to learn not to let it get to me though.

Part of it is due to the tags needing to be updated, people look at them, see some missing, and then raise hell without ever playing the game.

Yeah, I've been wildly successful with the game and I've had loads of positive reviews. For some reason though it still feels like a personal attack when I get a bad one. I guess it's just human nature to always focus on the negative. Anyway, I don't want a reputation for being whiny, so I'll bottle it up. Just felt like venting.

This is sadly true, but completely understandable, I remember the first death wish I got on one of my stories, I could not get it out of my head for days. Honestly, the part that upset me the most was them blocking me immediately and never even bothering to tell me what it was that set them off. That is not helpful people!!! Can't fix something if we don't know what is broken.

On the other hand, you can take some solace in the fact that a bunch of us love it enough to spend days brainstorming ideas and discussing all manor of craziness related to it.

Review: Sistine Chapel Ceiling, 0/5 stars

OK, so some people have said that this painting meant to be really good, but I just don't see what's so great about it. I mean, who paints a picture on a ceiling, anyway? It's impossible to look at properly and it's too high to see any of the detail. I think Michelangelo needs to take some lessons from real painters and paint ON A WALL, like any normal person.

And seriously, why is he focussing on religion, yet again? Haven't we done enough religious paintings already? Sure it's a painting in a chapel, but it's boring and it's been done too many times already. It's not as if he's giving us anything new here: just the same old bible stories as before.

And frankly, a lot of it is pretty boring. It's just people sitting around. A painting is meant to entertain people, not bore them to death. So he really needs to think about adding some dramatic battle scenes or something. Sure, there are a few nudes, but not really enough for my taste. And a lot of them aren't that attractive. He really needs to take lessons in how to paint hot naked women. Not wrinkled old men. I mean, if he's going to paint that sort of crap, he should really put a spoiler warning at the chapel entrance or something.

And don't even get me started on the time it took to paint. FOUR YEARS! Who takes four years to paint a picture? Seriously, is that guy trying to rip of his patron the pope or what?

Lol. Brilliant. Thanks Philk5. Thanks for your suggestions too, definitely a few of those are going in.

If you think the tags in the OP are incorrect, or need to be modified, you should report the OP and list what you think should be updated. Then the mods can make it happen.

Well, A&H are listed as the OP, no idea who the uploader is. But yes, this game has vaginal sex, anal sex, and possibly other tags which are missing. Anyone here want to add to that, what else is missing?

Well, certainly we have a family tradition of "exhibitionism" to fulfill ... okay, scratch that. And Rachel probably doesn't justify "loli".

"Sexual Harrassment" could be argued, though the line to the existing "blackmail" is blurred here. I think Candy offers "titfuck".

As for non-sexual tags maybe "Management" could be added.

Good points, I thought exhibitionism was there already too, but it's certainly growing rapidly.
She is a bit borderline, but I don't really count her.

Blackmail is optional, but already listed.
Yes, if you go along with all of her information gathering, that is true.

Management is debatable, depends on how they define it here I guess.

Hahaha...

FUCK NEGATIVE REVIEWER WHO DON'T EVEN PLAY THE GAME THROUGH!

I JUST PUT OUT MY OWN

Why do I keep getting so many bad reviews on this site lately? Not that I need constant positive reassurance but I feel one and two stars for my game is pretty unfair. You create art, share it with the community and then people go out of their way to shit all over it because they don't understand it or it's not to their taste. Puts me in such a bad mood. I need to learn not to let it get to me though.

True. I mean, porn in particular is such a personal preference, everyone likes such wildly different things. It shouldn't bother me at all, but it kind of does.

Yeah, I've been wildly successful with the game and I've had loads of positive reviews. For some reason though it still feels like a personal attack when I get a bad one. I guess it's just human nature to always focus on the negative. Anyway, I don't want a reputation for being whiny, so I'll bottle it up. Just felt like venting.

Lol. Brilliant. Thanks Philk5. Thanks for your suggestions too, definitely a few of those are going in.

There nothing but a bunch of bored entitled ASSHATS who finish in under a minute if IF they ever got a sexual partner, so their seeking instant sexual gratification; but because they don't have an imagination, are immature impatient children and have an attention span that is worse then a goldfish they can't find pleasure in you mature and well though out erotica. And so because of this they lash out like pathetic children having a temper tantrum not even befitting the worst 5 year old spoiled 1% brat and write nasty reviews.

Don't make excesses for small minded impotent losers. WE here in the thread have different preferences as well but we enjoy and appreciate your work. I'm not a fan of pet play yet you've opened my eye with Rachel's Story.

Yes you do have a popular and successful erotic adult game. 1500+ Patreons is not small potatoes. Hell you do better then some popular YouTubers. But I get it even thick skinned social media people get burnt out by the negative shit. It's death by a thousand cuts. That shit does not go away easily but you got to just come see and read out thread. You two are loved by us fans. Think about it, Thanks to you two a small community has been born and grows every day. We may not KNOW each other but we are fellow and kindred acquaintances thanks to you two.

Oh and don't you DARE feel bad for venting with us! You need validation come see us. We'll make the two of you uncomfortable with all the gush.

 

[Bearded_NoPants]

We all need to vent, I have done it on this games leaks, you just got to remember, you can't please everyone, look how much SJW sucked up to Brie Larson, now they want her to move aside for a black chick.

They are entitled to say this game sucks, just as I can it is awesome, just as you are entitled to be upset when people shit on your work.

I wish I could say more to help you, but you are making a living doing what you love, and people are supporting your game, so you just got to think about those of us who support you, not those who do not.

I mean let's face it, 99% of the people in this thread who are not patrons don't even thank you, if you ask me that is worse, but that is just me.

You just can not make everyone happy, hell look at me, I have been a patron since the start of the year, and while I am love the game, it still annoys me the Debbie Kate scene was removed as an easter egg and made a included part of the game.

But that is just me, not having easter eggs in games is like going to Hungry Jacks (for some reason in Queensland Australia they can't use Burger King) and asking for a whopper rebel, or whatever that plant based burger abomination is called, or going to McDonalds for a salad.

Umm let's not start the leaker/patreon thing again ok? I don't want a moderator coming to nuke our thread again. and as one of the 99% who is not a Patreon because I literally can't even afford to buy myself a cup of Tim Hortons. I have to disagree with you when you say I don't even thank them. If you ask ME getting shit on and being told my work and passion are pathetic is worse then people playing my FREE game and not thanking me.

So how bout we not ruffle each others feathers and give AltosandHerdone the validation and love they deserve.

 

[Bearded_NoPants]

Who am I to argue with this statement?

A bunch of uncultured swines.

Wow I'm surprised you didn't murder him for talking about marring Sam.

And yes quite uncultured.

Yeah... that's my thinking too... gonna try not to comment on those buldings, though. Just gonna say Arabella and Chang interactions have comedy gold potential.

Oh please, PLEASE COMMENT. HEHEHE

 

[Bearded_NoPants]

Guy don't worry I'll handle it...

what is being updated ?

Yeah hi... have you been keeping up to date with the thread? No? well if you go back a few pages you'll come across a post with bullet points and eight pictures. That will tell you what you need to know... also, PLeAse read the thread in the future. You don't need to go back far. just a week and you'll know what you need. We are pathetically obsessed with this game so question like this usually have already been discussed. Like for example what's in the update. Some spoilers were leaked and we started discussing all the new stuff. We even started trolling, for funzies, A&H about the new building even though they told us they where nothing but place holders and nothing was in development for them. So hope that helped, have a nice day.

I'm a peaceful man. I also know Sammy likes me better.

I'm more intrigued by the mansion than the chapel, tbh. that's all I'm saying.

 

[Antwit]

Yes, Mansion as in a large palatial home. Or as Websters says:

Definition of mansion


1a(1) : a large imposing residence

[Bearded_NoPants]

Pretty much this. If you read the negative reviews, there are two major complaints:

1) Don't like the graphics, they feel bland. This is of course a matter of taste but generally the part which you can preview the best: look at the images in the OP. If you're falling asleep, this game isn't for you.

2) and more often: too much gameplay for too little sex. Including some factually wrong statements because obviously the reviewers stopped playing at some point - which is fair enough, we're not professional reviewers and don't have to sit through a turd for the whole content, but at least give qualifiers that this is true "as far as I played the game". Because reviews quote things like HM cannot punish himself and there's no sex with students, which is both untrue - both options are there albeit limited.

I don't understand how people can complain about the graphics when its the same Ren'Py graphics all the other games use. I mean, REALLY? Personally I think A&H have done a great job with what they have.
What can you expect from people with low attention spans? Nothing other then a negative review.

It's a sad state of affairs that it's become common for people to feel emboldened because of their anonymity to lash out as grotesquely and as inhumanly possible towards others that they don't agree with.

Oh God you just had to go there. We both frequent several threads. You know on most threads this starts a flame war... well this is the "The Headmaster" thread I don't think it'll get uncivil.

I believe it's AltosandHerdone who are the uploaders so...

"Sexual Harrassment" could be argued, though the line to the existing "blackmail" is blurred here. I think Candy offers "titfuck".

YES, definitely Exhibition, Sexual Harassment? +1, Ruth is being blackmailed so that's on. That bitch Trixie does offer titfucks so +1, their all 18+ so loli is not doable. And I Management... sure. BUT I THINK EXHIBITION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. Other then that Pet Play should be added because of Rachel... is there a Maid tag? because Lucy...

Is there a "best fucking game in the planet" tag?

THERE BETTER BE!

Good points, I thought exhibitionism was there already too, but it's certainly growing rapidly.
She is a bit borderline, but I don't really count her.

HUH? it is? I don't see Exhibitionism...

I don't understand how people can complain about the graphics when its the same Ren'Py graphics all the other games use.

Well, there's different programs people use for their models, and why shouldn't you prefer some over the others? Personally I don't care since I think whether you use HS or DAZ or whatever isn't that important, but there are differences in realism and other attributes. So I think it is fair to say "I don't like the girls of this game as much as those of XY", although personally I think characterization is more important. Also, A&H have done a great job doing believable and different girls, while half the games of this site offer fat lipped overboobed clones with no distinctive personality except for the name shown on screen when they speak.

Oh I did not know that... so want is Ren'Py just an engine and then there are... templates? Ah that makes sense, that's why there are Ren'Py with anime girls and this is rendered models. But are there more rendered model templates? The girls in other games look like our girl. like there's this one game where Amy has huge tits. And another where Ruth is the MC mother. That's why I was saying there all the same just A&H made better model compared to the balloon bimbos we see in other games.

Son zamanlarda bu sitede neden bu kadar çok kötü yorum almaya devam ediyorum? Sürekli olumlu bir güvenceye ihtiyacım olduğu için değil ama oyunum için bir ve iki yıldızın oldukça haksız olduğunu hissediyorum. Sanat yaratıyorsunuz, toplulukla paylaşıyorsunuz ve insanlar bunu anlamıyorlar ya da anlamıyorlar ya da zevklerine göre değil. Beni böyle kötü bir ruh haline sokuyor. Bana gelmesine izin vermemeyi öğrenmem gerekiyor.

I love the game. Thank you for your effort. but one should not be afraid of criticism. criticism improves us. The only thing that bothered me in the game was the approach that emphasized violence in education. I don't know, maybe there are those who love these fantasies. but it bothers me. but still had a lot of fun. because visual graphics were very nice. I especially liked the dance show in the gym. All I want is to make a game that focuses on mercy in your next game. I wrote with google. sorry if any misunderstanding
